Australian Cassowary

Another great memory of Australia from the Far North Queensland, the Australian Cassowary, an incredible being. This one was a little too used to the presence of the man, he approached less than 2 meters from me, I was alert but he was as curious as me I think!

I've only seen one in a zoo, but they came across to me as hugely impressive and prehistoric-looking. Great capture! Posted 3 years ago

  Apart of Etty Bay beach, I saw them in the wild when I was walking around Mission beach and before Cap Tribulation on the boardwalk in the mangrove but I don't remember its name. And you sometimes cross them around the road as well ! Posted 3 years ago
