Very interesting article in the Cosmos magazine about the intelligence of emus! I didn't know emus were Palaeognaths, which also includes ostriches, cassowaries, kiwis, and tinamous, and have smaller relative brain sizes compared to other birds. Palaeognaths birds are the closest living relatives to dinosaurs. I love that the ostiches couldnt solve the puzzle at all!.
