Nothing is stranger than those large flightless birds. They date back to prehistoric times, and are actually kind of mean if you encroach on their territory. Emus are some of the weirder birds, as they’re much smaller than an ostrich but are still capable of defending themselves quite well. So what happens when a weasel ball is tossed into an emu’s enclosure? If you don’t know what a weasel ball is, it’s a fake weasel that’s attached to a battery-operated ball that rolls around on its own so it looks like the weasel is chasing it. The large birds don’t know what to make of it at first, and they hope around it to get out of its way. Even the ostrich joins in. Take a look at this video! But once the batteries run out, they find the courage to scope out the strange thing, pecking at it with their large beaks. Share away, people!

Large flightless birds are some of the weirdest creatures on this Earth, and seeing them in person can leave you with your jaw dropped. But what this emu does may have you rolling around on the ground instead. There was a sprinkler going in order to water the grass, which does look a bit yellow in these images. Blacky the emu was very confused as to what this contraption was and went to investigate. And even though he still doesn’t get it, Blacky is head over heels for the feeling of water spraying all over his feathers. It must feel really nice and cool, because he takes a seat right before it and starts rolling around on his back for more! Take a look at this video! That poor bird must have been really hot, but at least he found the perfect (and fun) way to cool off. Share away, people!
