Emu poo

Guess what this is

Can you guess what this is? Nope it’s not some fancy dessert. It’s an emu poo! This rather sizable dropping is laced with quandong and other seeds, giving it its odd appearance. Emus are rather partial to the seeds, which pass through the emu’s gut relatively intact and ready to germinate wherever the emu drops them.
