Australia Zoo, More Animals


Top: The Cassowary.
This bird is native to North Eastern Australia. It is a huge bird and they do not fly. They are quite territorial birds and will attack if they feel threatened. They just about eat anything from fruits to rats and frogs.
Bottom: Camel.
Camels are not natural to Australia and were brought over in the 1800's as beasts of burden for the more rugged areas of Australia.
