I went to the Zoo inside University of Ibadan yesterday, and I saw these animals I originally thought were Ostriches till I read on the label (on their cage) that they were Emus...a relation of the Ostrich. Anyway, I took pictures and posted on Instagram, and a fried of mine who is really into wildlife told me they weren't Emus but Ostriches. What do you guys think? Where are the animal lovers.

Hi, I believe what they have at the Ibadan zoo are ostriches. I visited that zoo once and spent a couple of hours looking at all their wildlife.

Emu's are native to Australia and are much smaller than the ostrich (roughly about the size of a large dog). the ones in Ibadan zoo are almost as big as horses.

Did you check out their massive odd looking soft shelled turtles?

Then why mislead people by labeling them Emus? Yea, I saw the turtles.

I need more comments. Thanks. I am surely going back there soon to challenge them. They want me to disgrace myself on a worldwide scale.

By the way, this Ostrich was kept in a separate cage all by itself.

Lala, please push this to Front Page. Thanks.

maybe they had one before and it died or it got eaten (Christmas tinz), I'm not sure how well emus do in captivity.

it will be good to let them know so others (especially kids) are not misinformed.

this reminds me of a primary school that painted a giraffe on its wall and wrote "mouse" next to it.

I also noticed some of their animal enclosures did not have the animals written on them and were replaced with something else.

p.s the ostrich kept alone may be territorial and was attacking the others or sick

That's not in any way an EMU... those are ostriches... going one step further... FEMALE OSTRICHES!!!


This is an EMU below...
