Emu spent most of their time eating food, resting, and bathing. They are [[diurnal]] creatures and wander here and there all day. They can swim, but this phenomenon rarely happens. They commonly swim when they have to cross a water resource like a river or their area gets flooded. While wandering all day, they stay active to help each other, which show their mutual behavior. Against this, they never trust each other during the [[Draft:Breeding|breeding]] season. They make sounds like grunting and booming to warn others to stay away. | |||
In the evening, they start falling due to tiredness and soon fall asleep. They do not sleep all night and get awake from rest after some intervals. It happens after every 90 minutes of deep sleep. They awaken for 20 minutes and get engaged in eating. After that, they again fell asleep. | |||
They usually do not get deep sleep due to [[Draft:Predator|predator]] threats. They stay in a partial sleep where they can counter any sudden attack and be ready for any condition just after waking. <ref>https://animalsbeach.com/do-emus-spit/</ref>[https://animalsbeach.com/do-emus-spit/ Emus spitting behavior] is also helpful for them to avoid predators. | |||
