#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.

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.

#TRex Tristan at the museum of natural history in #Berlin for #FossilFriday. The #Cassowary bird in Australia and Indonesia is probably the living being that comes closest to him. Almost like a living dinosaur which has similar feet and a strange, creepy call.
