I had no idea they ran so fast.

Also, pretty impressive to ride at 40 kph on a dirt road that looks flat.

Don't emus have really nasty claws?

I'm not sure I'd do that.

It's like the Jurassic World scene with the ATB and raptors.

Yep, in spite of all the publicity about shark attacks in Australia, more people are killed and injured by Cassowaries.

And coconuts kill more than sharks globally. :eek:

They may, but Ostriches are known to kick and have very long toes.

Still, beware of the landsharks:

Off-topic, as much as a thread about Emus can be...but the Dollop podcast has a hilarious episode about the Emu War. Available wherever you get your podcasts.
