  Emu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Emu feathers are light in colour except for the dark tips: solar radiation is absorbed by the feather tips, while the loose-packed inner plumage insulates the skin: in combination, the dark and light areas of the plumage deflect or absorb all but 2% of the sun's radiant heat.
Emus, particularly those in semi-open captivity, who have little fear of humans, are also prone to pecking at hairy human heads and woolly clothing, which can be distressing for small children and tourists.
Emus have a high bodyfat content, and emu oil is used for many purposes, particularly treatment of muscle aches and sprains.

Europeans wiped out two species and a sub-species of emu on the smaller islands early in the 19th Century, and considerable effort was put into exterminating the last remaining species as well, but the Emu's ability to disappear into the vast semi-arid mainland plains meant that it was never seriously threatened.
Emu skin makes excellent leather, and Emu meat has very low fat and is rich in protein.
