Additional Notes: |
|
| Dutch ..... Geslacht van verschillende grote loopvogels uit Australië en Nieuw-Guinea. Ze worden ongeveer 1,5 meter hoog; hoewel ze niet kunnen vliegen, zijn hun vleugels wel voorzien van harde, vlagloze veerschachten die aan stekels doen denken en die de dieren gebruiken om te vechten of zichzelf te verdedigen. |
