Emu Chick Figurine

Striped with brown and beige, the baby emu blends perfectly into the tall grasses of the Australian plains. This unique plumage allows it to remain discreet from predators during its first months of life.

An astonishing particularity: among emus, it is the father who takes care of the young from hatching. He protects them, warms them, and guides them in their first steps to find food. Young emus, herbivores and insectivores, feed on grass, seeds, and small invertebrates. As they grow, they gradually lose their stripes to adopt the uniform brown plumage of adults.

This Papo figurine faithfully reproduces the baby emu: characteristic stripes, slender silhouette, and realistic posture. An ideal model to enrich a collection of wild animals, invent exotic stories, or raise children's awareness of the richness of Australian wildlife.
