Correct Answer

A. 1.9

Explanation

Emus can reach up to 1.9 meters in height. This means that they can grow quite tall, making them one of the largest bird species in the world. Their height allows them to have a better view of their surroundings and helps them to spot potential predators or sources of food. Additionally, their long legs and tall stature enable them to run at high speeds, making them excellent runners.

A. 50

Explanation

Emus can sprint at a speed of 50 km/h. This means that they can run very fast, which is impressive considering their large size. Emus are flightless birds native to Australia, and their ability to sprint at such high speeds helps them evade predators and cover long distances in search of food and water.

4.

Emus can go for how long without eating?
- Weeks
- Days
- Hours
- Years
Correct Answer

A. Weeks

Explanation

Emus can go for weeks without eating. This is because emus have a unique ability to store large amounts of fat in their bodies, which can sustain them during periods of food scarcity. Additionally, emus have a slow metabolism, allowing them to conserve energy and survive for extended periods without food. This adaptation is particularly useful in their natural habitat, where food sources may be scarce or unpredictable.

Which of the following perfectly describes Emu's drinking habit?
- They drink large amounts of water.
- They drink per hour
- They drink once a day.
- They drink infrequently
Correct Answer

A. They drink infrequently

Explanation

Emus are large flightless birds native to Australia, and they have adapted to survive in arid environments. Due to their ability to extract water from the vegetation they consume, emus do not need to drink water frequently. Instead, they can go for long periods without drinking. Therefore, the statement "They drink infrequently" perfectly describes their drinking habit.
