Is the cassowary really the world’s most dangerous bird? Rare attacks helped brand the cassowary as deadly, but habitat loss and human activity now pose a far greater threat to the bird’s survival.

#Cassowaries are fascinating #birds. They look like a cross between a velociraptor, an emu, and a giant turkey. Maybe the animal that comes closest to dinosaurs today.

Interestingly, #Spinosaurus mirabilis exhibits crest asymmetry in some specimens. It is a reminiscent of the varying degree of casque asymmetry in modern #cassowaries. Learn more here:

The #dinosaurs of today are as bizarre and extravagant as those of the Mesozoic, and we know little about many of them. Among the groups I'm especially interested in are #cassowaries, and I've been fortunate enough to work on them. Here's one of my favourite articles... tetzoo.com/blog/2023/4/...

"Towering at 5'6" tall, sprinting up to 31 mph, and leaping up to 7 feet off the ground, cassowaries are the stuff of legends. They are the third largest bird in the world, weighing up to 175 pounds with sharp talons that grow up to 5 inches long."

Now, when people say "how many #cassowaries have _you_ interacted with personally", my answer is "quite a lot". And oh boy, it was something else. We had to go to Florida.... tetzoo.com/blog/2023/4/... #birds #ornithology #cassowary

🌏 Southern cassowary (Casuarius casuarius) The Southern cassowary, also known as the Double-wattled cassowary, Australian cassowary, or Two-wattled cassowary, is a large, flightless bird native to tropical rainforests in northern Australia, southern Papua New Guinea and Indonesia. It is characterized by its distinctive appearance, with a dark brown or black plumage, a prominent casque on its head, and long, sharp claws on its feet. Cassowaries are primarily solitary and territorial, and they are known for their aggressive behavior when threatened. 1.5 Flash (Edited) Conservation status: Endangered (EPBC Act) 📷: Photo by DaFranzos via Pixabay APSU
