Kurranji (Cassowary)
He is a spiritual bird, untouched he roams the rainforest like the boss. His digestive system prepares the seeds. What he eats goes back into the soil and regenerates the land and composts the soil so more food grows. You must be very careful of them because they can attack. Never feed them. You must always be alert when walking in the rainforest.
