3. Emus defeated Australia in a war!

I remember hearing about this a few years ago, and it has always stayed with me. Australia lost a "war" against its emu population:

4. Australia has also been defeated by its feral cat population. nt

5. So is it next to be the feral cat vs. emu... ? eom

7. The animal armies clearly have great generals! The emus utilized strategic retreat methods

All very brilliant. The basset hounds do look rather perplexed/annoyed by the baby emu (he's not obeying dog language) -- I hope everybody is supervised until the baby emu goes to wherever he/she is going to be raised.

12. Also by rabbits, horses, camels, buffaloes

and canetoads. The list goes on and on.

Other countries also have "impressive" lists e.g. the US.

Ours seem somehow more invasive. Plenty of room for them to occupy.

9. Bwah-HAH, & yet bassett #2 expressed his essential dog-ness by sniffing emu ass

And what's with dog #3's morbid obesity?!1 Everybody just doing a walk-about, live'n'let live.
