 The Emu is still common in Australia, but on remote places. One does not meet them in the wild. But one can in almost any Animal Sanctuary like Forest Glen or Territory Wildlife Park, where I made these pictures. In emu families it's the male taking care for the kids. But there can't be too many predators. Maybe dingos when still young, or birds of prey like the Spotted Harrier. But when grown up, I think an emu's life is quite pleasant.
