Striped in brown and beige, the baby emu blends perfectly into the tall grass of the Australian plains. This unique plumage allows it to remain discreet from predators during its first months of life.
A surprising feature: in emus, it is the father who cares for the young from the moment they hatch. He protects them, warms them, and guides them in their first steps to find food. Young emus, herbivores and insectivores, feed on grasses, seeds, and small invertebrates. As they grow, they gradually lose their stripes and adopt the uniform brown plumage of adults.
This Papo figurine faithfully recreates the baby emu: characteristic stripes, slender silhouette and realistic posture. An ideal model to enrich a collection of wild animals, invent exotic stories or to educate children about the richness of Australian wildlife.
