It’s World Cassowary Day (26 September).

In honour of this day, here is a thermal image collage of a baby cassowary surrounded by thermal images of its siblings in egg shells.

Congratulations to Dr. Todd Green (@CassowaryKid) for completing his PhD on Cassowary casque development (see below).

NEW SCIENCE ALERT! Cassowaries and their cranial casques have long fascinated scientists. Take a look at our new publication in @anatomyjournal in which we explore cranial #osteology of the southern #cassowary though an ontogenetic lens via #microCT. https://t.co/7n0TS8xXgE pic.twitter.com/irmKJJkEDX

Many thanks to Todd Green and Paul Gignac for hosting me on our Cassowary adventure a few years back. It’s nice to see Todd’s work coming out in press!
