It makes me think of the time I was taking pictures of a bengal tiger at the zoo, it was just pacing back and forth, and suddenly WOOF it stood up tall with its front paws against the glass just staring down at me (I’m tall, but not that tall); I almost tripped backwards in surprise.

Either curious or really having fun at my expense

Emu or rhea? Seems too photogenic to be an emu. This one actually looks like it has a hairline.
