Cassowary is a big beautiful bird charming. But behind the beauty of the Cassowary have an aggressive nature and tend to be grumpy when disturbed. Casuarius bergrnus bird is very fierce and angry and did not hesitate to pursue the 'victims' or the intruder. Hence in the garden of beast, Cassowary not allowed to roam free. In fact it is said, The Guinness Book of Records as the birds enter the Cassowary the most dangerous in the world. Although for the record I have not been able to verify to the website of The Guinness Book of Records.
Cassowary is an endemic bird that lives only on the island of Papua and its surroundings, except Cassowary wattle Double (Casuarius casuarius) which can also be found in the northeastern part of the Australian continent. In English, wattle Cassowary Double (Casuarius casuarius) called (Southern Cassowary), wattle Single Cassowary (Casuarius unappendiculatus) called (Northern Cassowary) and dwarf cassowary (Casuarius Benetti) referred to as (Dwarf Cassowary).
The characteristics and Behavior. Cassowary have body sizes are very large, except Little Cassowary (Casuarius Benetti) the size of the body is smaller. Cassowary bird can not fly. Adult cassowary has reached 170 cm tall, and has black fur that is hard and stiff.
The cassowary has a horn on its head high brown. Females are similar to males, and usually larger and more dominant.
Cassowary very long legs and strong. The legs became the main weapon of rare and protected birds. Cassowary capable of kicking leg and knock down his enemies, including humans, only with a single kick. Perhaps because of the kick, and aggressiveness is not an exaggeration if then The Guinness Book of Records bestowed on him as the most dangerous bird in the world.
At Cassowary there are two double wattle red wattle on the neck with the neck skin blue. While at Cassowary wattle Single (Casuarius unappendiculatus), as the name implies has only one wattle.
Cassowary which include protected animals from extinction is eating fruits that fall from the tree. Cassowary used to living alone, and in pairs only during the mating season only. Cassowary chicks incubated by the male.

Cassowary has a habitat in the lowland forest area included in a swamp.

Therefore IUCN Redlist enter wattle Dual Cassowary (Casuarius casuarius) and wattle Single cassowary (Casuarius unappendiculatus) in the conservation status of Vulnerable (Vulnerable) since 1994. Medium Little Cassowary (Casuarius Benetti) given conservation status Near Threatened (Near Threatened). Cassowary is the threat of extinction because of hunting both for meat, feathers or eggs.
