  1. I have once seen a skeleton of this bird in a Malaysian aviary, quite a scary sight, looking exactly like dinosaur raptors. Posted 11 years ago

The Southern Cassowary also known as Double-wattled Cassowary, Australian Cassowary or Two-wattled Cassowary, is a large flightless black bird. It is a ratite and therefore related to the Emu, Ostrich, and the genus ''Rhea''.
