MEET AN EMU At least a dozen of these six foot tall birds are living in the Jersey Pine Barrens. They can't fly, but they run up to forty mph, usually away from humans. Most were cut loose from failed emu "farms." Emu chicks don't survive Jersey winters & small predators; the big adults have no such worries.
