This week, Frank, Bre, and Lynette embark on a wild journey exploring one of the most unusual events in history – the Great Emu War of 1932 in Australia. In this episode, we dive into the incredible tale of how the Australian military was outsmarted by a flock of flightless birds. From the initial military deployment to the absurd tactics used, and the eventual withdrawal of the troops, we cover every facet of this bizarre conflict. You'll hear about the emus' remarkable resilience and intelligence, and how this unusual war led to significant changes in wildlife management practices in Australia. Join us as we discuss the implications of this extraordinary event and what it teaches us about human-animal interactions and environmental management. Plus, you'll get some laughs as we imagine the soldiers' frustrations and the emus' clever maneuvers. Don't miss this fascinating and humorous look into a forgotten chapter of history!
