Ferocious Cassowaries (Library Binding)

The cassowary is a large, flightless bird. It's cute, though a bit clumsy-looking. Like other birds that can't fly to escape danger, cassowaries have defensive mechanisms that help them survive in the wild, including long, sharp claws. Their terrible kick can slice open their enemies. This high-interest book reveals much more fascinating information about this interesting bird and its life in its native habitat. Wildlife enthusiasts will love the vivid photographs of this colorful creature.
