Emus are inquisitive fucks, and I’ve had groups of them walk through my camp. Only trouble was, they try to knock off anything they can grab. Bastards.
Probably because emus are dumb as fuck. If you were driving down that road from the video the emus would probably run along the road to get away from you instead of going into the bush.
Not an expert or anything, but I’m guessing that the emus recognize him as a predator when he’s standing/upright. But when he’s lying on the ground and peddling his legs, he resembles resting emus that are bobbing their heads around. I’m not sure how good their eyesight is. From a distance his feet look like their heads, his legs look like their necks, and his body looks like their body. So they are less threatened. Plus, they’re curious because he doesn’t look exactly “right” for an emu but is less threatening in that position, so they check him out. Really great video!
I was like, “There is something about the way he’s moving his legs. I wonder if that is good for your leg muscles? It looks interesting, such a calm…… almost mesmerizing motion, ….”
This is playing off of the Emus very VERY short term memory. They are scared of him, until he does the leg thing. They then have already forgotten they were afraid and are intrigued by what it is. This is the definition of stupid in the animal kingdom.
We used to raise emu on our ranch. They killed any bird or animal that would come into their pens. When they were angry, they would jump up and try to gut you with their feet. Fucking awesome creatures though, they’re so wild looking.
Fun facts: The eggs are large and dark green. The chicks have spots, like a fawn.
My mother would make a small hole in the eggs and empty them out, then paint them and give them away as gifts. Miss those ranch days more and more.
They wanted to see how far this guy would go
Emu War veterans, watch…
How do you attract emus in other countries?

“Man jogs upside down to attract wild Emus. I don’t know why.”
Why?
Well, to attract emus!

So that’s how [Rod Hull](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puvQ0P3QFIw) did it…
Maybe from a distance they are interpreting each foot to be an emu’s head?

So that asshole in paperboy was just trying to attract some emus?
I was like, “There is something about the way he’s moving his legs. I wonder if that is good for your leg muscles? It looks interesting, such a calm…… almost mesmerizing motion, ….”
Whoa! Snap out of it. Am emu, apparently.
They just want to smell his ass
Emus: “What the fuck is that human doing? Let’ go check this idiot out.”
Emus are supposedly sexually attracted to human males. So that’s why they say he’s looking for a new girlfriend.
“IT’S A FUCKING EEEEMU”

Mildly emusing
I really have to try this next time I see a pack of wild Emus.
That’s enough internet for us all tonight. I’m out.
They thought he had fallen and could not get up!
Strange bird.
They’re like why the fuck he doing this?
Was I the only one expecting to see a man running on his hands?
Okay but who the fuck figured out jogging upside down attracted wild emus in the first place
Where the fuck was this guy during the great emu war?
If only this man had been an attache in the Great Emu War, many lives could’ve been saved.

“Hey Todd, look at this idiot. He thinks he can attract us. Let’s all stand around and laugh at him!”
I’m not gonna lie.
If I see a dude doing the bicycle in the middle of the road, in the middle of nowhere i’ll probably go see what’s up
1:36 emu in the back: Fuck this cloud jogger mother fucker.
This is the most Australian thing I have ever seen
This is very interesting, but I would not have described this is “jogging upside down”.
*”That human is in trouble!! No, don’t startle him… Can we can flip him back over like a turtle?”*

You don’t know why. Neither do they.
Is this how you win a war against emus?
I’m dyslexic so I read this title several times.
First time it read:
Attractive man jogs wildly upside down…
From the title I thought this will be about a person running with their hands.
