Why it matters
The southern cassowary is a keystone species of the Australian rainforest, recognized for its vital role in seed dispersal for hundreds of plant species. While its short wings and notched tail render it flightless, this prehistoric-looking bird remains one of the most significant and elusive creatures in tropical ecosystems.
