English: Restoration of an extinct emu based on a specimen in the Museum of Natural History in Paris, now thought to belong to Dromaius ater from King Island. However, in Rothschild's book, it is used to illustrate Dromaius peroni (which is now a synonym of Dromaius baudinianus), coined for the species from Kangaroo Island he thought the specimen belonged to.
Date 1907

The King Island emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae minor) is an extinct subspecies of emu that was endemic to King Island, which is situated in the Bass Strait between mainland Australia and Tasmania. The small size of the King Island emu may be an example of insular dwarfism. |
