Cassowaries are very large flightless birds native to the tropical forests of New Guinea and northeastern Australia. Normally cassowaries are very shy but when disturbed can lash out dangerously with their powerful legs. They are capable of inflicting fatal injuries to an adult human.
Estimates vary but it is thought that only around 1500 of this mysterious and ancient creature still survive in the wild.
