All You Need to Know About the Majestic Southern Cassowary

""""

The Southern Cassowary is the third most intrepid bird in the world, primarily found in Oceania. It is easily recognized by the two colorful wattles hanging below its neck, which have earned it the nickname “two-wattled cassowary,” and the distinctive helmet-like casque on its head. This species is also commonly known as the Australian Cassowary, after the region where it is most often found.

The renowned botanist Carl Linnaeus was the first to describe the Southern Cassowary in his work “Systema Naturae,” originally naming it Struthio cassuarius. The bird’s current scientific name, Casuarius casuarius, is derived from its Malay name, “kesuari.”
