$Casuarius is one of two genera of birds in the Casuariidae tribe. This genus consists of three species of cassowaries that are very large and can not fly.\n\nThe distribution area of these three species is in the tropical forests and mountains of Irian Island. Double-Wattle Cassowary is the only species of cassowary bird found in Australia.\n\nCassowary is equipped with horns on its head, which help this bird while walking in its habitat in dense forest. In addition to the horns on his head, cassowaries have very strong legs and sharp nails. Female cassowaries are usually larger and lighter in color than males.$
