Photo & Vacation Spot

A large bird known as the Emu, lounges about his habitat during the summer at the Auckland Zoo on the North Island of New Zealand.

Taking time out in his habitat at the Auckland Zoo on the North Island of New Zealand, this Emu watches the tourists pass by as they stop to take a picture. The Emu is the second largest bird in the world, originating from Australia, with the Ostrich being the first.

The Emu has a brownish/gray colored shaggy looking plumage with a long, black neck and a small tuft of hair on the top of its head. Growing to about 6 1/2 feet tall and weighing between 66 and 130 pounds, the Emu fascinates many people who visit the Auckland Zoo.
