BOOM-RUMBLE
Cassowary
The rainforest's dinosaur that never left.
MEET THE FIGHTERS
Cassowary vs Ostrich
Tonight's science rumble is set in the picnic meadow, sandwiches evacuated. No snacks were harmed.
Cassowary
Casuarius casuarius
Dads sit on the eggs and raise the striped chicks.
Mostly fruit. They are forest gardeners who accidentally plant trees with leftovers.
Ostrich
Struthio camelus
An ostrich egg is about 15 cm long and could make breakfast for a whole team.
Plants, seeds, insects, and the occasional lizard. Not picky.
Who do YOU think wins?
BOOM-KICK
Ostrich
The kick that thinks it is a dinosaur.
