Crazy Emu Jumping for Joy and Taking a Bath

After a very long winter in the barn, this emu celebrates the first warm spring day with some wild dancing followed by a bath.

[@williamjameslehy1341]

Emus look almost like really bizarre puppets being manipulated by invisible puppeteers. The way they move and balance looks totally unnatural.

[@happymonkeyfish]

they are dinosaurs so

[@sloshed-rat]

They look like toupees with legs.

[@VeryFamousActor]

@@bendover2684 They are theropods, which were, and are, dinosaurs. Their closest known pre-K/T ancestor is very likely a small feathered dinosaur called archaeopteryx. Which is a transitionary animal between flightless, beakless theropods and today's birds.

Its actually closer to arms than wings :P

These creatures nearly conquered australia in the 1930's

[@echenxmax]

Wath happend

[@hfar_in_the_sky]

@@echenxmax The Great Emu War. Basically the emu were becoming problematic in Western Australia so the Australian army dispatched a couple of men armed with machine guns to cull them and drive them away from the farms. However the emu proved to be too nimble and wily for the machine guns to prove effective. Two expeditions were launched by the Australian army, but were eventually recalled. It's estimated that the expedition only killed about 1,100 emus over the course of a month, despite having expended over 30,000 rounds of ammunition. The Australian government declared that the birds had "won" the "Great Emu War." And then they promptly put a bounty on the birds and sent proper hunters in to deal with the issue, which proved much more effective at keeping the emu population numbers in check.

Music was fitting. And those teeny, tiny nub wings

[@greenman6141]

Emus are so wonderfully wild, wooly, crazy and goofy. Nature is always better than anything we humans could think up.

[@nabbitsyoutube8695]

The Emu is basically the Canadian Goose of Australia. Fucking. Dangerous.

[@Antsandy96]

Ummm.. You haven't by chance heard about the cassowary? Sometimes called the deadliest bird on the planet? Those are dangerous.. Wild Emus I've never been worried by.

[@nabbitsyoutube8695]

All birds in some way are dangerous, you know. I know the Cassowary is very velociraptor-like but doesn't mean it's only deadliest bird on the planet

[@dollyliv4702]

So true xD

[@JollyGreenBuddha27]

One look at these magnificent animals and you can totally understand how they won the Great Emu War.

[@ChewbySpirit]

Thank you very much for this cute and joyful moment! This emu is pretty and beautiful. Greetings from France.

[@Lostonthetrack]

people take the mic out of how australia lost the emu war, but can you imagine trying to shoot something that moves that wacky, with that fluffy plumage, you'd have no chance

[@selinesbeau]

The way emus move... it's like they're constantly having microseizures.

I bet if they had tiny arms they would have them outstreched as they run

or thrown up and dangling behind them hahaha
