There are three types of species of this bird. One species is known as the southern cassowary. Two other species are the northern cassowary and the dwarf cassowary. The northern cassowary is said to be a very dangerous bird.
Kasowari generally lives by eating fruits. But they eat all kinds of plants and leaves. Generally this bird is considered quite calm and stays away from humans. But if it is disturbed then it becomes extremely dangerous. It can even injure you badly.
