Description
Emus have claws on their WINGS. I located an emu farm near me and the owner, Ralph Gierke, let me come over and take some pictures, video, and audio of his animals.Now that this is uploaded, I don't have to show people the bloody dead emu's wing claw anymore that comes up on google image search. This is more pleasant.

Thanks so much for this brilliant and mindblowing picture! I link to it all the time when going in depth on the bird-dinosaur link and on the dear modern day theropods that have some particularly primitive characteristics.

Ostriches have claws too. I don't know if they're useless but emu wings are so teeny it's hard to think they'd be good for anything. If they don't get in the way of survival then that's also a good enough reason for still having them.
