The Cassowary is a large, flightless bird native to the rainforests of New Guinea and northern Australia. It is the second tallest and second heaviest bird in the world, behind only the ostrich. Cassowaries have glossy black feathers and a blue neck with wattles. They live mainly on fruit found on the ground or in low branches, but also eat small animals, frogs, fungi, and insects. Females lay 2-3 greenish eggs and the male incubates them and cares for the chicks when they hatch. Cassowaries are unable to fly and get around by walking or running on their two strong legs.
