Video - The Great Emu War: When Australia declared war on emus

Did you know that in 1932, Australia declared war on emus? The Great Emu War was a bizarre event where soldiers armed with machine guns were sent to combat a large population of emus that were destroying crops. However, the emus proved to be too fast and agile for the soldiers, leading to a comical defeat for the military. The operation began in November 1932, led by Major G.P.W. Meredith. Despite the military’s advanced weaponry, the emus proved to be surprisingly resilient and elusive. The emus outsmarted the soldiers by splitting up into smaller groups and evading capture leading to the conflict being dubbed the "Great Emu War." It remains a curious and humorous reminder of the challenges humans can face when confronting nature. This hilarious historical event shows that sometimes nature can outwit even the most advanced technology. What do you think would happen if animals declared war on humans?
