Australia is home to the flightless Emu. It is a member of the ratite family, together with ostriches, rheas, kiwis, and cassowaries. An ancestor of Emus is believed to be creatures that lived in the Late Cretaceous period about 80 million years ago.

Sean Rogers has created a new design for the back of the 2023 1 oz Silver Emu Coins. The Outback's arid environment is depicted as an adult emu keeps an eye on three young hatchlings.

About the emu:
The common emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae) is stout-bodied and long-legged, like its relative the cassowary. Both sexes are brownish, with a dark gray head and neck. Emus can dash away at nearly 50 km (30 miles) per hour; if cornered, they kick with their big three-toed feet. Emus mate for life; the male incubates 7 to 10 dark green eggs, 13 cm (5 inches) long, in a ground nest for about 60 days. The striped young soon run with the adults. In small flocks, emus forage for fruits and insects but may also damage crops. The peculiar structure of the trachea of the emu is correlated with the loud booming note of the bird during the breeding season. Three subspecies are recognized, inhabiting northern, southeastern, and southwestern Australia; a fourth, now extinct, lived on Tasmania.
