The disastrous Australian Emu War.

Someone turned it into a comic. YES.

never forget the emu war

OH MY GOD ITS REAL

Yes, this is real.

I visited Australia once, and an imprisoned emu (in a zoo) tried to continue fighting the war by biting my jacket hood. I tried to take a photo of it, got a terrible photo, but quickly got some other visitor to photograph me with the emu behind me.

^my bad emu picture

^ me with an emu behind me

(sorry, photos don’t display hood-biting)
