Creepy Cassowary



AWwwwwwwwwwwwwwww look at it. It's so cute. Until you find out this thing can disembowl you.
If you haven't read the title yet, this is about cassowarys. They are found in Papua New Guinea, and the islands around it. This includes parts of Australia. These birds are omnivores. Suprisingly this creature is endangered. I find this weird since it has claws long enough to murder a person. They also live 40-60 years. Now you are probably wondering how they can kill someone. They run at you at a max of 50km an hour (31 mph) and slash your stomach with their huge talons (Scary).
A really cool fact about this bird, is that it has emerald green eggs. like this:

Purrrrrrdy

Now because it is endangered, it is obvious it is going to have some predators. These include Humans, crocodiles, and dingos. You can also sigh in relief because these claws are not for hunting, they are for defense. The actually only eat small things such as Insects, grass, and fungi. For these eggs, the father also takes care of them. They use their crest to assert dominance, It takes about 50 days till they hatch.
The two senses they depend on are sound, and sight. anyway, I don't have any more to say, so I will show you their claws

This is terrifying


Anyway, that's all. As always, you can leave suggestions to what animal I should do next in the comments. I will try to update daily now. (I'm running out of ideas)
Bye:)
