By hiding in camouflaged tents
for months in the dense rainforest, UNSW PhD student and film-maker Dan Hunter
has captured fascinating footage of Australia’s “dino-bird” – the
elusive flightless cassowary.
Hunter’s latest documentary on the
Southern Cassowaries of North-East Queensland reveals insights into the
behaviour of these large birds, including their extraordinary feeding behaviour
of leaping to great heights to pluck fruit from trees.
Called Dino Bird, the film
is currently being broadcast on international wildlife channel Nat Geo
Wild, after being selected by National Geographic as part of its 2018
Year of the Bird Campaign dedicated to highlighting bird
conservation efforts around the globe.
