I didn't realize how much smaller than ostriches emus were. My goodness, look at the neck fluff on those emus! I can't decide if this is a great way to entertain them, or really cruel to scare them like that. :-P
Same here, I thought they were roughly the same size. Our zoo has a cassowary and that thing seems big enough!
I don't think it is cruel - they seemed to enjoy attacking it once it stopped. Emus are supposed to be very curious, so it probably gave them some excitement. Kind of like how budgies like thrills now and then.
