A giant, flightless bird native to Austrailia. European explorers first spotted the emu in 1696. Since then, they have become one of Australia's most famous species-and the continent's unofficial emblem. But don't underestimate the emu just because it looks like a comically overgrown turkey. It is a big bird and can grow as tall as 6.2 ft (1.9 m) and weigh around 110 ib. (50 kg). It is also powerful, exceptionally fast, and amazingly adaptable. While many of Australia's other flightless birds are struggling to cope with the modern world, the emu has survived and thrived.
1932 was the year of the Great Emu War. The Australian government sent troops into the outback to cull the rising numbers of emus because they were destroying farmers' crops.

Get the Jawzahr mug.An annoying and overrated toy that's been going strong for 44 years. They're banned in America because some Americans view them as dangerous (some kids have been known to eat the whole thing without knowing that there's a toy inside and had to be rushed to the hospital).
It also doesn't help that the toy is associated with an old creepy Humpty Dumpty commercial that's bound to give little kids night sweats.
