What does the word cassowary mean?

Answer 1

The cassowary is a large flightless bird native to New Guinea, northern Australia and islands in between. It is a member of the ratite family, which includes the ostrich, emu, rhea and kiwi. Ratites have wings but the bones in their chests do not have the capacity for flight muscles, which is what a bird needs to fly. The cassowary is the second-heaviest of the ratites, and its wings are also too small by comparison to lift it.

Answer 2

A Cassowary is a large solid set flightless walking bird, shorter, heavier and stockier than the emu. Its height averages around 1.5 metres, although individuals can be taller. Its legs are strong and thickset, dark grey in colour, and its feet have three toes with a very sharp index talon which can be up to 12 cm long. This is mainly used for foraging, but also for defence.

The feathers over its body are shiny black, but the head and neck are vibrant blue and purple. Two of the three species have red wattles, or folds of brightly coloured skin, hanging from their neck. One of the characteristic features of the cassowary is its helmet, or 'casque', a bony plate which continues to grow with age.
