Fieldwork has allowed him to collect bones from recently extinct members of the group--the giant moa of New Zealand and the elephant bird of Madagascar--as well as the living members--ostrich, emu, rhea, kiwi, and cassowary. Thirty-five per cent of cassowary populations were killed directly during Cyclone Larry, but those that survived and ventured beyond the fragments suffered even higher mortality--struck by cars or attacked by dogs. Like other ratite birds including the ostrich, cassowary, rhea and kiwi, this bird can neither fly nor run. |
