  1. I knew it’d be a cassowary. Those things are the closest you will see to a modern-day velociprator.

    There is an amusing clip where some lady is being chased by one, but fortunately for her, it seems more interested in her camera.

  2. One of my favourite animals and that chick is so cute. I just love the idea of a badass bird showing a predator what it can do by eviscerating them with a kung fu kick.

    A zookeeper told me that in his opinion this was the most dangerous animal he looked after.

    If I were a Cassowary

    On the plains of Timbuctoo,

    I would eat a missionary,

    Coat and bands, and hymn-book too.

    The only thing that surprises me about the cassowary is that we haven’t got a Pokemon based on it yet.
