Dwarf cassowary
The dwarf cassowary is the smallest of the three species of cassowaries. It is between 99 and 150 cm long and weighs between 17.6 and 26 kg. The dwarf cassowary is distributed throughout mountain forests of New Guinea, New Britain, and Yapen Island. The species feeds mainly on fallen fruits or fruits that they pluck from shrubs, and small animals and insects. Dwarf cassowaries use the crest on their head to sort through leaf litter and reveal many sources of food.
