Fine art print of original painting.

The Southern Cassowary is a keystone species for their role in dispersing seeds throughout the rainforest. They eat fallen fruit, swallowing it whole then digesting the fruit and excreting the seeds intact throughout large areas of the rainforest. They quite literally plant the trees that provide them with food and habitat. Their symbiotic relationship with trees in the rainforest is ancient, yet these birds are in great danger from human actions and listed as endangered. They are also known to eat fungi, kicked up from the ground which is excreted. The fungi they eat help all trees and plants in the rainforest due to mycorrhizas (fungal associations at the roots). In the painting, we wanted to show the Cassowary engulfed by the rainforest it so crucially creates.
