The Stare

Large birds like emus and ostriches often have a reputation for being somewhat aggressive, as vividly illustrated in this encounter. An emu, caught by a trail cam, seems to be confronting the camera with an intense, penetrating gaze, making one wonder how it even noticed the camera in the first place.

Despite their striking appearance, these birds appear less than thrilled with the attention. This emu seems uncomfortable with the spotlight, looking like it’s just going about its day. Its inadvertent intrusion into the frame reflects the challenges of being camera-shy in the wild.
