Emu
The
emu
(
Dromaius novaehollandiae
) is the second-largest living bird by height, after its
ratite
relative, the
ostrich
. It is
endemic
to Australia where it is the largest native bird and the only
extant
member of the
genus
Dromaius
. The emu's range covers most of mainland Australia, but the
Tasmanian emu
and
King Island emu
subspecies became extinct after the
European settlement of Australia
in 1788. The bird is sufficiently common for it to be rated as a
least-concern species
by the
International Union for Conservation of Nature
.
