Sure is tough being a Emu daddy. I had no idea the females were such hussies.

Late to returning to the thread - so sorry about B!!!

Don't forget Pyx, you can inherit mine if anything actually hatches.. after a while of
course =)

I love the gosling/emu pic!!!!

As usual the notifications stopped in the thread so I see that I have missed a lot. I love the cuddling baby pic.
I guess you didn't plan on moving your geese to the emu pen but looks like you might have to LOL You won't be able to tear those 2 part now.
I can't help but think the mating rituals and practices of emu resemble certain people waaaay too much! You could be on Jerry complete with DNA testing and all. (Jerry voice) "Number 22.....you ARE the Daddy!"

Fascinating...that the males do the brooding.

The following is slightly facetious....
So she gets them dancing, lays them some eggs to sit on,
so she can go work other males into domestic sittitude(made up word).
What does she do when she runs out of males?

I think Male seahorses get pregnant unless I am badly informed

they carry the eggs and keep them till they hatch...

ostrich males incubate as well..

many other animals do daddy based rearing From Penquins to some monkeys and fish and insects.

I would be lucky if my man even changed a diaper or gave a bottle!! I need me a male emu!

...Then they launch them out of their stomach in rapid succession (imagine firing tiny seahorse babies out of your belly button.) Our aquarium has a decent exhibit on this. The faces & sounds first time viewers make when watching the video are priceless!
