The Cassowary is a large flightless bird found in the rainforests of Australia and New Guinea. The Australian cassowary is known as the Southern Cassowary or Double Wattled Cassowary. This is to distinguish it from other types found in Papua New Guinea.

While usually shy, it will attack with a deadly kick if provoked.
This bird is endangered, with only about 1500 still remaining in the wild.
