Photo taken in April, 2014 @ BestZOO, The Netherlands

I know, I know, the chick's head isn't completely in the frame.
But really, does it matter? Isn't it the most precious little chickie you've ever seen?
I know I fell in love with Emu babies, that's for sure Saw them yesterday, and a month since I took this photo. They've really grown and aren't as playful, but they're such adorable little Dinosaur wannabes, I still love them.
