About These Birds
Emu
에뮤는 두 번째로 키가 큰 현존 조류이자 호주 최대 조류이다. 날지 못하지만 시속 50km로 달릴 수 있으며 강한 다리로 포식자를 방어한다. 수컷이 알을 품고 새끼를 기른다.
Great Cormorant
The great cormorant is one of the most widespread seabirds in the world. Unlike most waterbirds, cormorants lack fully waterproof plumage, leading to the iconic pose of standing with wings spread open to dry. In Asia, cormorants have been used by fishermen to catch fish for over a thousand years.
