Kangaroo Island emu (SciiFii)

The Kangaroo Island emu or dwarf emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae baudinianus) is a subspecies of emu that is restricted to Kangaroo Island, South Australia, which was initially known as Ile Decrés by the members of the Baudin expedition. The Kangaroo Island emu was once extinct by about 1827, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced back to Kangaroo Island to help boost biodiversity. The Kangaroo Island emu differs from the mainland emu mainly in its smaller size, although some populations of Kangaroo Island emus have dark browns spots dotting on its body. The conservation status of the Kangaroo Island emu is Vulnerable due to some habitat loss and historic poaching, however, thanks to the conservationists, the Kangaroo Island emu is a protected and is making a comeback.
