Emus do not have any specific shelter. They will avoid the heat if possible by staying under trees. They only ever build nests at breeding time, and these nests are dug out of the ground and lined with sticks, leaves and grass.

∙ 14y agoMy 'pet' emus seem to just sit near each other in the bush at night. On several occasions I have seen them in the deep dusk, sitting quietly near each other. I am still trying to check this behaviour, but they come at first light (for their morning wheat) from the same area that I've seen them 'bedding down.' I've noted also that they will quite contentedly sit in the open in pouring Winter rain. I suppose that their insulation is very good. Mark

∙ 11y agoEmus do not have a set dwelling. They are nomadic birds. They can be found almost anywhere in Australia except within urban areas, although they can be found on the outskirts of these areas.
Emus range from coastal areas, where they are becoming increasingly rarer due to developments and roads, to the sub-Alpine regions. Therefore, they can take a range of temperatures from cool-temperate to hot-temperate.
The male emu builds the nest, rather than the female. He scratches up grass, twigs, leaves and bark around a hollow on the ground, in grasslands or open bushland. The nest measures between one and two metres wide, and the walls are about ten centimetres thick.

Are bears and emu prey of lions?
I guess they would if they could! Emus are native to Australia only and Australia has no lions. Therefore, in the current status quo - no, lions do not eat emus. It should be noted that emus possess a unique defence capability, which would aid them if they were in the position of having to outrun a lion. When running at top speed, the physiological structure of their feet enables them to make sudden 180-degree turns which not even a small cat can do: by the time a bigger cat such as a lion slowed enough to make the turn, the emu would be 50-60 metres ahead in the opposite direction.
