CassowaryA cassowary looks like a flamboyant ostrich and can be found wandering the rain forests of Australia and New Guinea. It prefers to keep a low profile, but when disturbed this flightless bird can become extremely aggressive and territorial. Capable of running and leaping at high speeds, the cassowary attacks by thrusting its large claws forward with the aim of disemboweling its target.

Elenor. My cassowary shall be named Elenor.
It really doesn't look much like Kevin. However, has anyone noticed that it looks exactly like the two birds that appeared in the movie FernGully?... I feel a little old for some reason...
"kill you" is on top of its head...
I do believe I have found Kevin . . . I just hope that Charles F. Muntz doesn't come out to get me with his pack of talking dogs.
It reminds me of Jurrassic Park, Up and Thanksgiving at the same time!
Dude you should have done a liiittle bit more research, this is not a very cute animal...
This picture sucks!!!
At that angle the bird looks like it's about the size of a turkey, however, judging from the leaves, ferns, and the tree root, it's back is probably about waist high.
Yeah I totally agree, the background doesn't even look real...
Those beady eyes are scary... It is so not cute.
Yes, I will take it's offspring, Dr. Jingles II, and train it to dispose of my enemies. On the command of "Attack!", it will do it's signature "flying kick disembowel." But I will also train it not to commit to the final blow, leaving my enemy with his guts in his hands. Muhuha.
Ha yeah that would be awesome but I would train a parrot, so if I get stranded in an island I could just send it off for help. Oh and I would train it to swear at people that piss me off.
Jeez you reminded me of my brother =)
who wants a squirrel to sit on his shoulder and when he says "attack" it would jump off his shoulder and attack his enemies, he also mentioned that it would steal for him -__-
Doesn't your brother watch tv, that's what monkeys are for. And actually, as far as I know, that monkey on your shoulder doing that is actually based in fact. Although, I don't know that the monkey is as smart and capable as the tv makes it out to be.
erm Disembowelling? omg.. this bird knows how to torture
to each his or her own, while it may not be cute to some it may just as well be considered cute to others. while punk rockers are not born with the looks (hair, make up, piercings, etc.), this bird is, and that itself is simply amazing. the look on this bird's face doesn't seem to be saying that it thinks a human is such a cute creature either. it actually looks hungry
Actually it looks like its thinking if the dude behind the camera is edible.
He looks like the bird from that one movie UP!!!LOL
I went into a laughing fit when I realized that is so true
Omigawd, you're right!!! O.O
Bet it would b a SWEET pet. lol
DAM!
DAM!
DAM
isnt that the bird from Up? lol
thats what i was going to say
Believe it or not... but I actually ate one of these once. I think that I won the cute/deadly award that time.
Wow you're amazing...really does it taste like chicken? Hmm maybe I'll try that cute but deadly thing sometime...
that pic of the cassowary must have been the photographer's last.... that bird is all mad doggin' him and stuff, i bet rite after the flash, the bird jumped on the guy and messed him up.... idk about cute.... but hell nah am i standing that close to that bird
Well there is a such thing as zoom...eh maybe he was up on a tree...or maybe he didn't make, who knows coulda' been an act of suicide.
are you really sure that bird is flightless? i saw a news featuring that very organism and they said it is one of the deadliest FLYING bird on earth because of its claws, but she's pretty amazing, the almost monochromatic glossy black feathers with bright blue and red colors attracts me from a far, but like other low-profile animals who don't show themselves often, i would still freak out if i see it feet near..
thats not cute thats scary if i so that id start running.....actully id try to pet it
that Chuck Norris is the deadliest creature.
another cootie!!! sho adorable ee! i name this adorable puffy bird Dr. Jingles, look at those tootsies! :D!
Do u talk like that too? lol
This thing* is not so cute
This think is not so cute.
Every living things in this world has its purpose
Enter your comments hereNice one rita! Thats about the best description of this "bird". lol. I like the raptor reference mario. Not CUTE however by ANY means.
Exactly what a velociraptor does...
I can not see whats cute about this fugly bird it looks like a wasted punk rock turkey!
Oi punk is not so bad, sure the bird looks "wasted!"
Maturity? (Nodding) Maybe not.
it kinda looks like kevin from the movie up
that is one ugly ***
bird
this looks like a messed up turkey -__-
what about human baby? I can think of thousands of "cute" animal babies that would defend themselves if in danger. But what about the "animal" cute or not who can and do kill for no reason. No human "baby can not kill; but when does it happen; at what age does the demon arise in some of us and the million dollar question, why?
First of all, Cynthia, look it up--humans are BORN "EVIL".
They are selfish, greedy, and mean--the so-called "good" qualities must be taught. Some are just not taught as well as others.
But I agree with the folk here who described this as a punk rock turkey.
That humans become evil when they kill something while other animals at birth can kill others are also evil?
