Cassowary Carnage

for the Southern Cassowary

Endangered

By Max, age 11

This is an artwork of a Cassowary (Casuarius), I chose to represent this bird because they are beautiful birds and they are also the biggest flightless bird in Australia. I love the beautiful colours on their neck and head. I would be super sad if no one would be able to see a beautiful bird living in the wild. It would be horrifying to never see such a beautiful creature living in the wild, they are endangered due to dog attacks, habitat loss and vehicle strikes. I would love to see such a beautiful bird living in its habitat and hopefully they never go extinct. Maximillian Myers 11
