Hi, I’m Thing 1!
You can catch this silly girl in section one of the Drive-Thru Safari along with her best friend, Thing 2.
Emus are flightless birds, considered to be modern-day dinosaurs.
Emus can run up to 35 miles per hour with strides of nine feet.
Emus have three forward-facing toes that allow them to grip the ground and push the emu forward.
Come see and say hi to Thing 1 in the Drive-Thru Safari rain, shine or snow all season round!
