Cassowary: Dino Birds

For this episode, Amazing Wildlife ventures to the tropical forests of New Guinea and northeastern Australia to showcase one of the world’s largest birds… the cassowary. Hosts Ebone and Rick uncover why this threatened species is so important to its forest habitats, how they resemble dinosaurs, and the unique coloring of their eggs. They also unpack why these flightless birds hold the title of the bird with the most fierce reputation and how they are notorious for having a lethal kick. Rick will later dispel facts from folklore when he answers questions from a young listener.  If you have a question for Amazing Wildlife you can send them to [email protected] for your chance to hear it on the show!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
