Cassowaries are fascinating creatures that are often called "living dinosaurs" due to their prehistoric appearance. As Australia's heaviest bird and the world's third-largest bird species, cassowaries can grow up to 2 meters tall and weigh up to 76 kilograms. Their most distinctive feature is the casque—a helmet-like structure on top of their head that may help them navigate through dense rainforest undergrowth. These remarkable birds play a crucial role in their ecosystem as "rainforest gardeners," eating fruits and dispersing seeds throughout the forest. Despite their intimidating appearance with dagger-like claws and powerful legs, cassowaries are typically shy and avoid human contact. Drawing inspiration from the Ravensburger "Animals of the World" collection that celebrates unique wildlife, this plush representation makes an excellent educational tool for learning about these remarkable Australian birds while providing a soft, huggable companion for everyday adventures.
