How are emus and ostriches different from each other?

There are several differences between emus and ostriches.

• Emus are native to Australia, whilst ostriches are native to Africa.
• Emus have darker colouring, with dark brown, grey and black fine feathers. Ostriches have thicker and lighter plumage.
• An ostrich is bigger than an emu. An emu weighs between 66 and 99 pounds (30-45kg). An ostrich weighs about 300 pounds.
• The ostrich is faster and is, in fact, the world's fastest two-legged animal. An ostrich can sprint at 65 Kilometres per hour (40 miles per hour) and an emu can sprint at 50 kph, or 30 mph.
• Ostriches are unusual among the ratites (Flightless Birds) as they have only two toes on each foot. Emus and other ratites have three toes.
