Is the cassowary a real bird?
Yes, it is. Honestly. It’s one of those Australian animals that you feel like you would have heard about if it had lived in Africa, but which is afforded a low profile through living in a barren land inhabited by sexists in vests.
They can grow to be 2m tall, can jump 1.5m into the air and they can’t fly. They have a big dagger claw in the middle of each foot and they use them to kick the shit out of people.
If you want to eat one, it is apparently quite tough. Aussie advice is to cook it with a stone in the pot.
Things to consider:“When the stone is ready to eat, so is the Cassowary.”

they have one of those birds at the brookfield zoo. oh and it’s horn is made out of the same stuff as our toenails…
The most endangered species on the planet at this moment. 900 total in the world. Less than the Giant Panda in China. The only reason is short sighted development, lousy council animal control & lazy hillside pet owners. Nobody cares
Aggressive? yes. Dangerous? Possibly, bit let’s get things into perspective. This is a bird. A flighless bird (no wings). Not a bear. Not a lion. If only it was as dangerous as you say it might stand a chance. One photo getting around the internet does not make a case.
