An emu has a total of three toes on each foot.
This unique toe structure is quite different from that of many other birds, which typically have four toes. The emu’s three-toed feet are well adapted for their lifestyle. They have long, strong legs that allow them to run at high speeds and cover large distances while foraging. Each toe ends in a sharp claw that helps them navigate their natural habitat in Australia, providing stability and grip on various terrains.
