Casuarius bennetti : ウィキペディア英語版
Dwarf cassowary

The dwarf cassowary (''Casuarius bennetti'') also known as the Bennett's cassowary, little cassowary, mountain cassowary,〔 or mooruk, is the smallest of the three species of cassowaries. (See also southern cassowary and northern cassowary.)
==Taxonomy==

The scientific name commemorates the Australian naturalist George Bennett.〔Gotch, A. F. (1995)〕 He was the first scientist to examine these birds after a few were brought to Australia aboard a ship. Recognising them as a new species of cassowary, he sent specimens back to England, where other taxonomists confirmed his perception. On the west side of Geelvink Bay, western Irian, there is a distinctive form that may merit a split. ''C. papuanus'' is the tentative name.〔 There are no officially recognized sub-species, however, some authors believe there should be.〔Avibase 2009〕〔Brands, S. (2008)〕
The Karam or Kalam people〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Dialects of Papua New Guinea: Kalam )〕 of the New Guinea Highlands classify bats and flying birds as one group, yaket, and the dwarf cassowary, a very large, wingless, flightless bird as another, kobtiy. Yaket are bony with wings and fly in the air, while kobtiy are bony without wings and are terrestrial and of the forest. They distinguish kobtiy from other bony, wingless animals because kobtiy are not quadrupedal like dogs and lizards and are not limbless like snakes. (See Kalam languages.)
John Gould first identified the dwarf cassowary from a specimen from New Britain, in 1857.〔
