That cartoonish scramble away gets me. I'm imagining looney tune sound effects.

I always do every time my cats have done this. Sound effect comes along with it

This video is so surreal that I through it was generated by AI. This is pure comedy

Baby emu by the look of it. Not exactly a good pet.

My curiosity got the better of me, and I must have posted an update with the same conclusion right about the same time as your answer.
And I agree that a chick emu might be cute, but when it grows up, it's going to be a difficult pet.

A lot of people keep them as livestock and they are surprisingly adaptive, they just start them indoors if it is cold outside, they need medical treatment, or they didn't have any clutch mates.
There are several farms in my area with them, and I was shocked once when the people I picked up my chickens from were like "oh BTW, want to hug my emu??"

It starts fine, but once they hit about 3 years old (IIRC) they start to become a lot less friendly (sexual maturity). Or a lot more friendly if you have hand reared one, then they get aggressive and frustrated because they think you're their mate and you won't put out.

I knew a dude with a handful of them, but they we're not friendly. he did give us a hollowed out egg to take home.

Are you scared of me, cat?
I'm running away too because you're the ugly one.

I’d probably jump too if what looked like a baby dinosaur snuck up behind me 😆
