Cool.. I did not know that. I had a Cassowary father with chicks on my last place. They are so "Jurassic Park" After the Cyclone last year they had a really hard time here in FNQ.
Oh yes, the dwarf, southern and northern cassowaries. I don't have photos but over the years I've seen a few wild ones. I see sign rather more frequently http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/707... Captives are fairly common...
Are there Cassowaries in Papua?
