From Wikipedia (It's appropriate to credit sources when doing research)
The emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae) is the second-largest living bird by height, after its ratite relative, the ostrich. It is endemic to Australia where it is the largest native bird and the only extant member of the genus Dromaius.
Or, as someone told me about 20 mins ago, it's:
an ugly bird who can't fly
Sound like anyone we know??
