The cassowary is not a raptor; it is a large, flightless bird native to the tropical forests of New Guinea, nearby islands, and northern Australia. Belonging to the family Casuariidae, cassowaries are more closely related to emus and ostriches than to raptors, which are Birds of Prey like eagles and hawks. Cassowaries are known for their striking appearance, with vibrant blue and black plumage, a helmet-like casque on their heads, and powerful legs. While they can be aggressive if threatened, they are primarily frugivorous, feeding on fruits in their natural habitat.
