Southern Cassowary

== Roleplays that feature this creature ==
* Australian Outback
== Other info ==
The mother will stay with the father only for as long as she lays the eggs, and once she has finished laying the eggs, she will leave and either decide she has finished breeding for the season, or find another male to breed with.
The father incubates the eggs and raises the chicks himself, even having to protect them from female cassowaries, including their mother, as female cassowaries will often kill chicks on sight, even if the chicks are her own.
