Emu can be tamed wild, randomly join your colony in an event, or bought pre-tamed from a trading ship. Emus will always turn manhunter on a failed tame attempt.

== Summary ==  
+
== Hunting ==
{{Pen Animal Note|Emus}}
+
Emus will always turn [[Mental break#Manhunter|manhunter]] when attacked. Preparation and backup is recommended when hunting them.
  
A female emu produces {{P|Eggs Per Clutch Average}} [[emu egg]] every {{P|Egg Laying Interval}} day when fertilized. Emus will not lay unfertilized eggs.
+
== Production ==
 
+
Emus lays [[emu egg]]s when fertilized, at an average rate of {{P|Eggs Per Clutch Average}} every {{P|Egg Laying Interval}} days.
== Analysis ==
 
Emus are one of many egg-laying animals that are inferior to [[chicken]]s. 2 hens eat less food than 1 emu, and ''each'' hen lays {{#expr: ({{Q|Chicken|Eggs Per Clutch Average}}/{{Q|Chicken|Egg Laying Interval}}) / ({{P|Eggs Per Clutch Average}}/{{P|Egg Laying Interval}}) round 2}} eggs for every emu egg. While an emu egg is worth {{#expr: 0.5 / 0.25 round 2}} chicken eggs, a single hen remains superior for egg production, let alone 2. Hens do not need to be fertilized, which adds a further advantage.
 
 
 
While chickens cannot be found in the wild, the [[dromedary]] is superior to the emu. They can be found in all biomes emu reside in. Dromedaries produce more food (in the form of [[milk]]), both per day and per nutrition fed. They are easier to tame, won't go manhunter on a failed tame, and can be ridden on a [[caravan]]. So if dromedaries are available, there's little point in keeping an emu pet.
 
 
 
Therefore, emus are mostly relegated to hunting fodder, the occasional [[manhunter pack]], and to add a little ambiance to the desert biomes.
