Koalas are no joke either...
My neighbor, down the road, used to have a lot of Emus. One day I was walking through my back yard to the edge of the woods where we used to throw all the food scraps and as I passed the garage I saw this huge animal and it saw me. I yelled "Shit!" and dropped the bowl and ran back to the house; thinking "please don't chase me. please don't chase me." When I got to the door it was a fluid movement of jumping up the steps, turning the knob and opening the door.
I think the emu must have ran the other way too because I never saw it after that.
