📖 原牌英文 · READ THE SIGN
WALK ON THE WILD SIDE: The Common Emu spends most of the day foraging and can travel up to 25km a day to look for food and water. DADDY DEAREST: The male builds the nest and incubates the eggs alone, fasting for almost two months. After the eggs hatch, he takes care of the chicks for a year. SILVER MEDALLIST: The emu is the second-largest and second-fastest running bird, with the ostrich first on the podium. THE GREAT EMU WAR: In 1932, thousands of hungry emus devastated crops in Western Australia. The army was called in to cull the birds. The tough birds out-maneuvered truck-mounted guns and dodged bullets. After 38 days, the army declared defeat!
