Predators. Dingoes and Wedge-tailed Eagles prey on Emus. The fathers carry the chicks dung away in their beaks and put it a long way away to divert predators. Emu eggs are eaten by reptiles such as goannas and snakes, other birds such as the Black-breasted Buzzards and mammals such as Dingoes.
The emu is Australia's largest bird, standing about 2 meters (6 feet) tall, and weighing up to 54 kg (120 lb). Emus cannot fly but they are fast runners - up to 48 km (30 mi) per hour. Surprisingly, they are also strong swimmers. Some scientists consider emus to be living dinosaurs because their bones and joints are similar to dinosaurs'. Their ability to store fat allows them to go without food for long periods of time.
