The scientific family name for emus and their close relatives, flightless Australian birds.
From Greek dromos 'running' plus -ceia (running bird) and -idae (taxonomic family suffix); named because they are renowned for their running speed.
Emus can run up to 30 mph—faster than horses in short distances—so scientists named their entire family after running because that's literally their superpower!
