Australia’s Great Emu War

Australia once declared war on BIRDS... and got absolutely destroyed. In 1932,

20,000 emus were ravaging farmland in Western Australia. The government's solution?

Send in the MILITARY with machine guns. But here's what they didn't expect - emus are FAST.

Like, 30 miles per hour fast. And apparently, tactical geniuses.

The soldiers fired thousands of rounds but barely hit anything. The emus would scatter, regroup,

and keep destroying crops like nothing happened. After weeks of this embarrassment,

using 10,000 rounds of ammunition, the military gave up. The official casualties?

Around 50 emus. The emus' casualties? Zero humans, but Australia's pride.
