[Answer] What bird from Australia and New Guinea is called a “living dinosaur”?

Trivia: What bird from Australia and New Guinea is called a “living dinosaur”?

Cassowary
Turkey vulture
Ostrich
Kookaburra

The correct answer is Cassowary

So why is this answer correct? : With four-inch velociraptor-like talons, the cassowary is one of the most direct descendants of dinosaurs in the world. A cassowary’s legs can push them upwards of 30 mph, and their helmet-like protuberance is their most stunning feature (its exact purpose still stumps scientists today). The cassowary has survived millions of years but now teeters on the edge of extinction.
