The cassowary's better known and closest relative is the emu. Cassowaries and emus both live in Australia and although they are classed as birds, they are among the very few birds that can't actually fly at all. They are members of a group of birds called ratites. Other ratites include the kiwi from New Zealand, the ostrich from Africa and the rhea from South America. 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.
