If you find this bird attractive and decide to say a hello to it, beware the Guinness Book of World Records named it the world's most dangerous bird. In fact the zoo authorities in charge of this endangered species are in danger themselves from the threat of job-related injuries.

"The Cassowary lives in the rain forests of Australia and New Guinea and are actually pretty shy animals if undisturbed, but if you get to close and it thinks you're a threat you could receive a bone-breaking kick or get sliced by its dagger-like sharp claws. During WWII, soldiers stationed in New Guinea were warned to stay away from these birds, but some of them still became victims."
