News from Coquette Point

The young cassowary 'Rosie' has an injured foot. This week National Park's Rangers came out to Coquette Point three times to try to capture her, however, they were not successful.
 
Fortunately 'Rosie's' foot is getting better and  her  limp is still pronounced but not severe.  She is searching for food and other than the injured foot she appears to be in good condition.
