	The Cassowary in Captivity
		Ratite ancestors were probably similar in size to the tinamous, to which they are related, and subsequently increased their size after losing the ability to fly.
		Extinct ratites include the giant elephant birds (Aepyornithidae) of Madagascar, the variously sized moas (Dinornithidae) of New Zealand and the mihirungs (Dromornithidae) of Australia.
		The distribution of all extant ratite species was achieved through non-flight locomotion and as a consequence of continental drift movements during the last 85 million years.
