Description
The awesome Southern Cassowary (Casuarius casuarius) is an endangered bird related to the Ostrich and Emu. Like the Emu the father looks after the eggs and raises the young. They are a beautiful and territorial bird. It has recently been proposed that the casque on their head acts as an air conditioning unit, allowing the blood to circulate and cool before going back to there rest of the body.
