🐦Emu
エミュー(鴯鶓、英: emu、学名: Dromaius novaehollandiae)は、鳥綱ヒクイドリ目ヒクイドリ科エミュー属に分類される鳥類。飛翔はできず、二足歩行するいわゆる「飛べない鳥」の一種。 体高が最大で2m近くになる大型の鳥で、時速50kmで走ることができる。漢字表記の鴯鶓は英名 emu が中国で音訳されたものである。 オーストラリアの非公式な国鳥で、オーストラリア大陸全域の草原や砂地などの拓けた土地に分布している。周辺海域の島嶼部にも同種ないし近縁種が生息していたが、現生種の1種のみを除いて絶滅したとみられている。 日本を含め、オーストラリア国外にも移入され、観賞・愛玩用や食用として飼育されている。
