The Southern Cassowary… A Role Model Father

 In News

Male cassowaries are role model fathers for all dads, human or otherwise. As a hard-working parent, the male Cassowary is responsible for hatching their chicks and raising them, teaching them all they need to know until they are independent enough to make their own way in the world. Remind you of anyone?

Cassowaries are regarded as a ‘keystone’ species. Through eating the fruits of over 240 species of rainforest plants and excreting the seeds great distances from the parent plant, the cassowary plays a vital role as a ‘rainforest gardener’. Many rainforest plants depend on the cassowary to move about the landscape … without them, the structure of the rainforest would permanently change.

These incredible birds are shy by nature and only pose a threat when defending their nests or chicks or when they’re threatened.
