| Despite their fearsome size and appearance, cassowaries are solitary birds that are rarely seen in the wild. |
|
| We saw giraffes, penguins, kangaroos, polar bears, cassowaries etc., so there were quite a few animals which were unusual in that environment. |
|
| So the cassowaries, kookaburras, koalas, kangaroos, crocodiles and wallabies that one goes to Australia in the hope of seeing are all there. |
|
| Ostriches, emus, cassowaries, rheas, kiwis, moas and elephant birds really are more closely related to each other than they are to any other birds. |
|
| Similar in appearance to ornamental features seen in birds like cassowaries and hornbills, the crest may have been used for display, the study team suggests. |
|
| In fact, the moa is a New Zealand species but kiwis are more closely related to emus and cassowaries in Australia, so it may be bad news for the national symbol. |
|
| Their wings are stunted, with a smaller body-to-wing proportion than in some other ratites, and, like most other ratites, cassowaries have no tail feathers. |
|
| Uniquely among the Maluku Islands, the Aru Islands have a purely Papuan fauna including kangaroos, cassowaries, and birds of paradise. |
|
| The common ostrich shares the order Struthioniformes with the kiwis, emus, rheas, and cassowaries. |
|
| Roaming the grounds were zebras, cassowaries, kangaroos, and kiwis, to name a few. |
|
| There are also endangered cassowaries, wallabies and opportunities to hug a koala. |
|
| Some rare species of cassowaries and mammals were identified in the same study. |
|
| Fragmented rainforest on the coast and Atherton Tablelands provides critical habitats for rare and endangered species such as cassowaries, mahogany gliders and tree-kangaroos. |
|
| Cassowaries are large ratites, and are among the largest birds in the world. |
|
| Cassowaries and pigs are killed but not properly butchered, cooked, exchanged or eaten, with the carcasses discarded as if rubbish. |
|
| Cassowaries belong to a primitive group of mainly flightless birds called Palaeognathae. |
