Emu
I have never seen an emu before but I have always wanted to see one. I was with my family at the Catoctin Zoo and we took the safari tour and I finally had my chance. I was amazed that one of them looked right at me. I was in awe of the amazing detail and color in their eyes.
The emu is the largest bird native to Australia and the only extant member of the genus "Dromaius". It is the second-largest extant bird in the world by height, after its ratite relative, the ostrich. There are three subspecies of emus in Australia. The emu is common over most of mainland Australia, although it avoids heavily populated areas, dense forest, and arid areas.
