SOUTHERN CASSOWARY Casuarius casuarius ©Laura Quick Cassowaries are closely related to the kiwis, both families diverging from a common ancestor approximately 40 million years ago. They have a reputation for being fierce and able to kill with ease, mostly however, they are shy, easily startled seed dispersers. The male builds a nest on the ground, a mattress of herbaceous plant material 5 to 10 centimetres (2–4 in) thick and up to 100 centimetres (39 in) wide. The female shows up, is courted, mates and lays the eggs. Then she leaves, often to be courted by another male. Meanwhile, the male incubates the eggs and raises the chicks alone. A clutch of three or four eggs are laid measuring 138 by 95 millimetres (5.4 in × 3.7 in). They have a granulated surface and are initially bright pea-green in color although they fade with age. The casque on the top of its head is made of keratin, hollow, and helps protect the bird as it runs through foliage. #southerncassowary #doublewattledcassowary #©lauraquick #birds #animals #birdsofinstagram #casuariuscasuarius #australia #indonesia #southeastasia #newguinea #wildlifeloverseverywhere #leastconcern #wildlifephotography #wildlifelover #wildlife_photography #wildlife #paternalcare #nomaternalcare #flightlessbird #casuariiformes #casque #keratin #losangelesphotographer #losangeleszoo #lazoo #glaza #losangeleszooandbotanicalgardens https://www.instagram.com/p/B8jwsJNH_Nt/?igshid=bsyblby3n9hl

Australasia 75 years ago today: Western New Guinea Campaign (17 Jun 1944) https://buff.ly/2N6QpcL From Pearl Harbor on, the Allied priority had been to defeat Germany, with minimal forces devoted to the Pacific. However American naval supremacy after Midway and Guadalcanal, along with a successful submarine campaign to cut supplies, meant that they could now isolate and bypass most of the Japanese garrisons, fighting only where they chose to as they moved along the northern coast of New Guinea towards the Philippines. #australasia #history #welovehistory #map #1940s #20thcentury #modernhistory #1944 #allies #asiapacificwar #pacificwar #warinthepacific #ww2pacific #australianhistory #june #june17 #newguinea #worldwarii #worldwar2 #ww2 #wwii #secondworldwar #maps #todayinhistory #historytoday #historyteacher #historybuff #historygeek #historynerd #worldhistory (at Hollandia Binen) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByzkFcbgLiB/?igshid=1fv6dk9pu0nr0
