Description - Australia's Remarkable Wildlife: Cassowary by John Lesley
The cassowary has a reputation for being the most dangerous bird in the world. Find out why, and whether this reputation is deserved or not. Related to the emu and the little kiwi, the cassowary manages to look beautiful, scary and dangerous all at once.
Australia has been an island continent surrounded by oceans for millions of years. During this long, long time, its animals have evolved into species that are unique and precious. Covered with feathers, fur, spikes or scales, Australia's wild creatures can be beautiful, frightening and even dangerous. Although all Australians know what kangaroos or koalas look like and where they live, there are many other local animals whose ways of life are still a mystery, even to scientists. Find out about Australia's wonderful animals in this series, then look at them in a whole new way the next time you have a chance to get up close at a zoo, in the wild or in your own backyard.
