Ah, but can they hop backwards? Aren't those hopping marsupials and not walkers?
Snapple is delicious, but I often overlook it. I may have to purchase a Snapple soon.

I think the Emu is a large bird, like an ostrich - but not.

Is walking backwards really that useful? I don't think Kangaroos and Emus are really missing out on anything.

Some people cannot do back in parking....so the emu is not alone in his misery. The emu would make a nice mascot and be remembered. Arizona Emus. E-M-U-S.
