Pronunciation: [fˈamɪli kˈaʒuːˌɑːɹɪdˌiː] (IPA) 
The Family Casuaridae, commonly known as the cassowary family, is comprised of three species of flightless birds native to Australia and New Guinea. These birds are distinguishable by their large, colorful casque atop their heads and their powerful legs equipped with sharp claws. The members of this family include the Southern Cassowary, the Dwarf Cassowary, and the Northern Cassowary. In some regions, cassowaries are also called emus or ostriches, but they are not the same. The Casuaridae family has evolved as an integral part of the ecosystem and plays an essential role in seed dispersal in the rainforest habitats where they live.
