About These Birds
Anna's Hummingbird
안나 벌새는 북아메리카 서해안에 서식하는 중간 크기의 벌새입니다. 수컷은 화려한 핫핑크색의 목 깃털을 가지고 있으며, 꽃에서 꿀을 먹고 작은 곤충도 잡아먹습니다.
Southern Cassowary
The southern cassowary is often called the most dangerous bird in the world due to its powerful legs and dagger-like inner claw that can reach 12 cm in length. Despite this reputation, cassowaries are vital rainforest keystone species, dispersing seeds of plants that no other animal can. The purpose of their distinctive casque remains debated.
