Cassowary - The most dangerous bird in the world
Did you know that the third largest bird currently walking on our Earth is the ice bird?
What makes the cassette so scary?
They can grow up to 6.5 ft (2 meters) tall and can weigh close to 133lbs (60 kg) - about the same weight as the average person.
They are also the most dangerous birds in the world!
The ostrich can jump as high as 6.5ft (2 meters) into the air and can run as fast as 31 miles per hour (50 km / h).
These abilities and the bird's size make it very good at fighting.
Their middle claws can be up to 12 cm (4.75 ″) long, thus used in combat as a dagger-like weapon.
Cassowary birds cannot fly, like ostriches and penguins.
The great aesthetics of the cassowaries.
There are three species in the feline family and the bird is related to the emu and the ostrich.
Cassowary has black feathers and is often compared to look like turkey.
It has a bluish tint on the head and a reddish color along the neck.
The bird has a barrel that is a feather high on top of its head.
Cassowary has large forward-facing eyes that give it very good eyesight.
Specially designed hearing.
They also have very good hearing and have adapted specifically to being able to hear the low frequency calls of other cassettes.
They produce roaring noises at low frequencies and booming noises that give ice birds the lowest pitch of any other bird.
Sand's attack!
More than 200 human attacks are reported annually.
However, the last time he died by a cassette tape was in 1926 when Phillip McClean, 16, injured his throat after running from a cassowary and then fell to the ground.
The cause of this attack is self-defense.
Most judges will not attack unless they are provoked and feel threatened.
They have been known to attack when expecting to be fed.
However, most of the time, it is simply when humans try to get too close and the bird feels threatened and therefore feels it needs to use self-defense.
Many people who work with cassettes or protect them believe that birds are very peaceful animals that just want their own space and respect.
Cassowary has also been known to attack dogs without reason.
They even broke down some doors and windows using their beaks.
Too many incidents lead to studies.
Christopher Kofron completed a study in 1999 on 221 cases of cassette attack.
109 giant attacks were caused by humans having examined the food and then when it was stopped, the tape became agitated.
Locations and habitats of cassowaries.
Cassowary can be found in New Guinea and the northeastern regions of Australia.
Cassowary plays a huge part in the tropical forests of northern Australia.
They are fruit birds;
These seeds are sometimes moved up to half a mile.
This is a great advantage for the trees and greenery in the area.
Some of these trees have large fruits that other animals cannot carry, so for some, the sand tree is its lifeblood.
This bird complements its diet with small animals, insects and frogs.
The life cycle of Cassowaries.
Cassowary lives a long time.
Females are larger and generally stronger than males.
However, the offspring are not the custodians and nurturers of the young.
Like a penguin, the male incubates the eggs for up to fifty days.
They then take care of the chicks for 9 months after it is born.
Now an endangered bird species.
A reptile in Australia is listed as endangered.
Cassowary originally did not have any natural predators in the area.
However, because humans have settled nearby dogs and cats often kill their young, the roads nearby by cars have killed many of these birds.
The number of cassettes is decreasing gradually and due to the fact that the sand cat is a solitary bird, it is difficult to accurately estimate the amount of cassette remaining in the wild and therefore how endangered they are.
In addition, the tropical forests are also being cut down due to timber, banana and other plantations.
This does not help the bird as it is losing habitat.
What's in a name?
You may be wondering how the cassowary got such an unusual name.
One explanation is that it is based on the French word ‘casque’ meaning helmet.
The second interpretation is that it comes from the Papuan language, ‘kasu’ meaning horn and ‘weri’ meaning head.
Since the birds are from Papua New Guinea, it seems the second explanation is correct.
Dina-cassowary!
There is a lot of discussion about whether the cassette tape is related to dinosaurs.
It has a very similar body shape, such as bands on its head, it has scaly legs and is vibrant in color.
There is a possibility that the cassette is related to dinosaurs, but scientists suspect that any modern animal is a dinosaur.
The Cassowary is an underrated bird.
Is it really the most dangerous bird in the world?
