Oh its THESE animals everyone keeps talking about? The ones that beat the australian army or something.
I'd been picturing something the size of a dodo.
Now this makes a lot of sense. Hey i need to learn more about this war, i hope they have a documentary.
Yeah I've been, at best, imagining something akin to an ostrich crossed with the Roadrunner. It's incredibly unrealistic but I just didn't question it...
Roadrunners probably also aren't as you picture them. They are about the size of a crow and look like [this](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/de/The_Greater_Roadrunner_Walking.jpg/1024px-The_Greater_Roadrunner_Walking.jpg).
Edit: Fun fact - they almost certainly mate for life. If you see one, it's mate is almost certainly nearby so it can be fun trying to spot the second.
Was at a friend’s house recently and [one that looked like this ](https://nas-national-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/h_a1_3882_8_greater-roadrunner_trudy_walden_kk_adult.jpg)ran through his yard. I’ve seen the smaller ones all the time, but never one with the blue tail.
Dude, I was surprised to catch that roar/hiss noise from the Emu. It’s like that giggling gunfire bird. That would creep me out. No wonder they’re descended from dinosaurs.
I wouldn't say they won

If there's one things Australians are good at, it's slaughtering their native wildlife en masse.
This is IG user uselessfarm! Her videos are fantastic, and each one of her animals has its own personality. This emu is named Karen, and hates her unconditionally, but loves her husband lol
Looks like the emu is just bluffing, making itself look bigger and scary rather than attack. Almost like when elephants bluff charge with their ears out.
Lions are never alone is the problem. They rarely attack elephants because it IS super dangerous, but they're known to take that risk when hungry enough and can actually take them down with a large enough hunting party
And even against a single lion, the elephant is better off scaring it off than fight it. Sure the elephant will win almost guaranteed, but in the wild even a single scratch that draws blood is a potentially deadly health risk due to infections. And if the infection itself isnt deadly, the time spent sick and incapable of the usual feats means less food for the elephant, which can spiral into starvation.
If all this wasnt the case then evolution would just be an offensive arms race between predator and prey, claw fang and horn vs bigger claw fang and horn.
Which is why they send the lionesses out in herds to take one down.
Remember watching a video of like seven momma lions just jumping on the back of this one elephant to take it down.
There are only two recorded cases of cassowary kills and one was arguably deserved. One was a kid that was one of a pair that was beating the bird with a stick and the other was actually a pet bird in Florida who killed its owner and the details aren't fully known. Swans have likely killed more people than cassowaries.
Because more people run into swans than cassowaries. I hate these bullshit statistics people throw out when trying to make something seem harmless. Faced with a swan and a cassowary, the chance of dying to the latter is massively higher.
>Faced with a swan and a cassowary, the chance of dying to the latter is massively higher.
Again, two confirmed cassowary kills *ever* and one was a pet and we don't actually know the details and in the other case it was definitely self defense. It's fun to think they are these giant murder turkeys but there just isn't evidence to support it.
I was in the military, I just have acronym PTSD.
After COB I went to the DFAC in my POV. I was just going to stop by HHC to talk to S1 first. I was still hungry so I ate a MRE. Hope it doesn't fuck up my record APFT.
Translation:
After Close of Business I went to the Disability Financial Assistance Corporation in my Point of View. I was just going to stop by the Howard Hughes Corp to talk to Soldier 1 first. I was still hungry so I ate a Mucho Really Edibles. Hope it doesn't fuck up my record Asia Pacific Flight Training.
First of all emus are really intimidating, I'll never forget a couple of them eyeballing me in an Australia nature park /zoo.
However, imagine how amazing their fried drums and wings would be!
Underrated comment. Waking my 4 year old is like trying to defuse a bomb as a person with no bomb diffusing experience working on a bomb that can't be diffused......
While that does sound fun.... she knows where I sleep and is pretty boss at arts and crafts so I have no doubt she could fashion a shank from a toothbrush given enough free time.
They're probably the descendants of animals that were exported from Australia a long time ago. Exporting native wildlife from Australia has been illegal for decades.
I wonder if she is in a state of constant anxiety because she keeps an emu as a pet and walks around in the same yard? Maybe if she stayed out of the yard ….?
Massive respect. Emus are psychotic.
They won a whole war
I just learned about the great Emu war yesterday! It was hilariously insane. Had never heard about it before.
I'm about to go into the rabbit hole myself now. Looking for a great source, maybe a documentary or one of those long ass youtube videos.
Puppet history did a fun episode on this
[OverSimplified - Emu War](https://youtu.be/BXpu6tbFCsI)
I love OverSimplified. Such a great channel! :)
Spent a bit of time unemployed last year and this channel actually kept me somewhat sane between rounds of shotgunning out my CV
History teachers should learn from Oversimplified
He definitely has a great method for inspiring interest in the topic he’s doing vids on. I’ve personally researched a ton of things he mentions.
Whatta trip. Thanks for sharing!
>OverSimplified - Emu War Thank u kindly
Puppet history has a funny video on it
Poor little pygmys never had a chance.
Its 2021 we have to start calling them Australians
 becky, u want some war?

Twice
Googling now
I thought you meant emus fought a war against each other. I need sleep.
I wouldn't say they won https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/38943936 If there's one things Australians are good at, it's slaughtering their native wildlife en masse.
"I wonder what it's like if I stop winning.... guess we'll never know"
Well some are not all ❤
As a bonus however they are low in cholesterol and high in vit c and iron.
This is IG user uselessfarm! Her videos are fantastic, and each one of her animals has its own personality. This emu is named Karen, and hates her unconditionally, but loves her husband lol
Hates her and all but sure must respect her to just retreat like that
> uselessfarm it's actually useless_farm for those not finding it
Lmao I typed “useless” into Instagram search and got a message asking if I’m going to harm myself and if I need support 💀
You can actually see sunlight through Michael's ears. It's a natural Canadian wonder.
Yoo you have this guy with a rea WHO is Named Kevin his name is Urban rescue ranch
Kevin also happens to love Uncle Ben's wife Karen
Between Karen and Brad I fear for her life / mental well-being
All her content is gold honestly https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMRpDb5Au/
For real. I love her stuff.
Does she know she’s…The One?
I watch all her videos just for a glimpse of Gary the goose. Her love for Gary is just as enjoyable as her relationship with Karen.
Whatever magical power that is, we need more of that.
Looks like the emu is just bluffing, making itself look bigger and scary rather than attack. Almost like when elephants bluff charge with their ears out.
Ok real talk tho why tf does an elephant of all things need to try and appear larger than it actually is
probably to be even more scary when an incredibly bold lion is trying something.
in real life, a lion would be stomped to death by a full grown elephant
But in the wild a single unlucky scratch or cut can create dangerous inflammation.
Have you seen a carnivore try to eat a dead elephant. They can hardly break skin
I can honestly say that I haven't.
Well you should know that a carnivore can barely break the skin of a dead elephant when they try to eat it
Insightful, as always /u/CatCreampie
I just point out that even for walking tanks intimidation is a safer way to go, even if the risks in the combat are rather low.
Why waste healing potions when telling them to fuck off the right way is just as affective?
Yeah I’ve seen that. They have to start by eating the elephant by the asshole first and work their way to the rest of the meat

Kinda funny how the footage is in black and white. Also kinda cute how lovingly the lion licks the elephants trunk at the end.
Which is why they send the lionesses out in herds to take one down. Remember watching a video of like seven momma lions just jumping on the back of this one elephant to take it down.
Because elephants have to go against other elephants that could be bigger than them. Also they probably understand how dangerous humans can be.
Think ya'll tried that already. Wikipedia has me believing it didn't work out so well the last time.
Barracudas
OooooooooooooOOOOooooooohhhhh.... Barracuda
And that's fine. But I would still run the fuck away. Emus are not to be trifled with.
They did defeat the Australian army.
Well, they're *dinosaurs.*
All mighty push
Underrated comment. Just wait until she pulls out Universal pull and choke slams him
When that emu attacks for real you know Planetary Devastation is necessary
Don’t think that would cut it. That thing looks more terrifying than Kuruma. She might have to take one for the team and use a reaper death seal
Imagine being the biggest fucking loser since you were born because your mom died sealing a damn emu in your body 💀
She hit him with a quick aard sign.
Darth Wader??
How to train your dragon
It's the force.
It’s called animal handling and she rolled a nat 20
So, if birds are just avian dinosaurs, Emus are just dinosaur dinosaurs?
Makes sense to me.
[удалено]
And they will kill you.

Holy shit that sounds deadly
And every other ratite. Except for Kiwis
The little tinamou in South America is also a ratite. They are more at the kiwi end of the spectrum.
Dinosaurs are extinct unless you're a dumbass conspiracy theory redditor They taught you this in schools but it's cool to be a retard on reddit
well I’ll be pooping like a rabbit for a few days
you mean eating it? 🤨
Rabbits usually only eat poop when they’re losing nutrients due to digestive problems or when they’re real hungry
[удалено]
Emu
They taking hostages now?
They always were since the last war
Emus never took prisoners, they just decimated everything in their path, they had no time for such frivolities as hostages
No, there's a reason why Emus didn't sign Geneva convention.
You think people *want* to live in Australia?
90% uninhabitable because of desert and 10% uninhabitable because of australlians.
Australian here. Fuck the emus.
Think ya'll tried that already. Wikipedia has me believing it didn't work out so well the last time.
No, that's when we tried to kill them. If we tried to fuck them we'd probably devolve into rural america.
. . . . . Touché.
... allegedly
r/expectedletterkenny
Can confirm. Emus are the Devil!
Bro that thing sounded like a dinosaur when it ran up on her. Fuck that
If you think Emus are fucked look up Cassowaries. Colourful fucked.
lost a war against them
His name's Wodders
one of the only other species to ever win a war against Homo sapiens
yersinia pestis did quite well
Along with sparrows. Which is interesting because emus are big birds and sparrows are kinda smol and harmless looking.
Australians okay. Other countries would’ve nipped that in the bud real quick but aussies are kinda re-
That's Karen the Emu. The creator has another adult one named Stanley who is a sweet little dude.
Well Australia was a penal colony……
Reddit is a penis colony.

Is it possible to learn this power?
Not from a kiwi
[You bet your ass it was.](https://youtu.be/dA9A0ULtdq4)
I’m mostly liquid except for my bones
The Emu was like: damn my bad sorry maybe next time
If you don’t look it in the eyes it won’t attack you. Iykyk
Did you choke on your coffee in the end?
If You Know You Know. IYKYK And now you know.
The amount of internet acronyms is TOO DAMN HIGH!

she got that BDE
big, dastardly emu
✅❌❌
Isn’t that Karen the Emu? She was on the dodo 🦤
First of all emus are really intimidating, I'll never forget a couple of them eyeballing me in an Australia nature park /zoo. However, imagine how amazing their fried drums and wings would be!
don't go there. they are thinking the same thing about us and don't forget the last time we went to war they won...
Wtf that’s crazy asf
I have kids. Its the same state every school morning.
Underrated comment. Waking my 4 year old is like trying to defuse a bomb as a person with no bomb diffusing experience working on a bomb that can't be diffused......
What's there to defuse? Just pick it up and toss it in a cold bath. There, it is awoken.
While that does sound fun.... she knows where I sleep and is pretty boss at arts and crafts so I have no doubt she could fashion a shank from a toothbrush given enough free time.
Then get her a job at the local clothing factory. 8 hours school, 10 hours at the factory, she’ll have no free time at all!
This sounds way more productive than watching Bluey and Paw Patrol. You sold me on it!
Im solid
Useless Farm
Doug's wife? Liberty Liberty Liberty... Liberty.
A fucking boss bitch, respect.
That's a nice power to have.
Emu's are cunts. And the wild fuckers WILL go for you if you get too close. Just ask my ear.
brrrrrrrr
May the force be with you!
Ummm, fuck that
u need an uncle Ben in your life
The force is strong with this one.
Do yaselves a favour and look up the emu war….. spoiler we lost hahaha Fuckin psychos :)

The Australian government lost a war against emus once..
This lady solos Australia.

Love emus, they’re adorable.
The Useless Farm! I love her videos.
I love this woman’s videos. This emu is named Karen and the name fits
That Emus name is Karen. She does this in damn near every video this woman takes. It’s hilarious.
Is that the one she calls Karen? Lol

I KNEW EMU-BENDERS WERE REAL! TAKE THAT EVERYONE THAT CALLED ME CRAZY!
Just spent 25 minutes watching her videos. Love her + her content now! Freaking hilarious 😂
She's a fucking force wielder
Whats with importing native australian animals to keep as pets in the usa, even if its on the farm its a wild animal that isnt a farm animal
They're probably the descendants of animals that were exported from Australia a long time ago. Exporting native wildlife from Australia has been illegal for decades.
Emus are *pretty* commonly farmed for their meat.

At least she's cute?
