Dingoes try to kill the emu by attacking the head. The emu typically tries to repel the dingo by jumping into the air and kicking or stamping the dingo on its way down. The emu jumps as the dingo barely has the capacity to jump high enough to threaten its neck, so a correctly timed leap to coincide with the dingo's lunge can keep its head and ...
The Emu War (or Great Emu War) [2] was a nuisance wildlife management military operation undertaken in Australia over the later part of 1932 to address public concern over the number of emus, a large flightless bird indigenous to Australia, said to be destroying crops in the Campion district within the Wheatbelt of Western Australia.

In 1932 many emus moved into farm territory in Western Australia, with the army called in to dispatch them in the so-called Emu War. Some attacks noted include in 1957 an emu charged a car, [15] in 1904 an emu attacked a dog's owner after the dog attacked it, [16] in 1873 an emu attacked children and a woman at Johnstone Park, Geelong.

In 2011, researchers at the Dingo Discovery and Research Centre in Melbourne, Australia, filmed a dingo manipulating a table and using this to get food. [107] Molting brown bears in Alaska have been observed using rocks to exfoliate. [108] There is also evidence that polar bears throw rocks and big pieces of ice at walruses to kill them. [109]
This was the first recorded instance of a dingo killing a human. Azaria's parents, Lindy and Michael Chamberlain, received intense media speculation due to the perceived implausibility of a dingo attack; in a highly-publicized trial, Lindy was convicted of murder and Michael named as an accessory.
Ok the emmu can't be used as a hybrid. Thats like saying your dog can be used as a hybrid. That and the emu isn't even used as a house pet so how do you expect to trian the emu to use it as a hybrid. To use an animal like that sounds inhumane —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.223.15.160 14:11, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
