Cassowaries and Emus
Casuariiformes
The Casuariiformes is an order of large flightless birds that has four surviving members: the three species of cassowary, and the only remaining species of emu. All four are placed in a single family, Casuariidae.
All four living members are native to Australia-New Guinea, but some possible extinct taxa occurred in other landmasses.
