Australian coat of arms has images of kangaroo and emu. What connects these two animals?

they are threatened with extinction
they can not walk backwards
they are herbivores
in Australia, eating these animals is forbidden
The kangaroo and emu are the native animals that hold the shield with pride. They were chosen to symbolise a nation moving forward, based on the fact that neither animal can move backwards easily – i.e. symbolising progress. Another curiosity is that both these animals, which are national symbols of Australia, are eaten in this country.
