The scientific family name for cassowaries, large flightless birds from Australia and nearby regions.
From Casuarius (the genus name), combining the Malay word 'kasuari' for the bird plus the Latin suffix '-idae' used for animal families.
These birds have a razor-sharp claw that can be 5 inches long—nature's scalpel—and they're one of the few animals humans genuinely fear in the Australian rainforest.
