Casuarius

***Casuarius*** est genus avium infraclassis Palaeognatharum (avium sine volatu, carina in sterno carentium), quae in silvis tropicis Novae Guineae (Papuae Novae Guineae et Indonesiae), Nusa Tenggara Orientali, Insulis Moluccis, et Australia septentrionali orientalique endemicae sunt.

Sunt tres taxorum exstantium species, quarum frequentissima, *Casuarius casuarius,* tertia ab altissima et secunda a gravissima avi est, solum *Struthioni camelo* et *Dromaio novaehollandiae* minor.

*Casuarii* plerumque fructibus vescuntur, sed omnes species penitus omnivorae sunt, atque varias plantas (surculis et seminibus graminum non exclusis), cum fungis, invertebratis, parvisque vertebratis capiunt. Hominibus cautissimi sunt, sed irritati vel territi, ambobus canibus hominibusque vulnera gravia etiam adeo letalia infligere possunt. *Casuarius* quidem periculosissima mundi avis saepe appellatur.

## Taxinomia, systematica, evolutio 
Genus *Casuarius* a Maturino Iacobo Brisson, zoologo Francico, in *Ornithologie* (1760) erectum est. Typus generis est *Casuarius casuarius.*
