Q. Emu, a flightless bird recently in news, is native to which country?
Answer:
Australia
Notes: Researchers have discovered that emu wing bones exhibit significant shortening and asymmetrical fusion, driven by differences in embryonic movement. This study sheds light on the evolutionary processes that shape skeletal structures in these unique birds. Emus are flightless running birds from the ratite family, one of the most primitive modern bird families. They are the second-largest living birds, after ostriches. Emus are found only in Australia, inhabiting diverse regions from coastal areas to high mountains.
