Small birds in the impression of people are very weak animals, the size of the body is just ostriches and other large birds, but even if the ostrich has an amazing size and speed, but there is no destructive power, in the world there is a fierce bird, may not be understood, he is known as the most ferocious bird, a paw down can even kick a steel plate, human in front of it is as fragile as ants meet elephants.
This ferocious bird is called "killer bird", scientific name is "crane ostrich", also known as "cassowary".
This bird and the ostrich look no different, but the character of this bird, remember not to compare it with the docile ostrich, at the beginning of the last century, there was a foreign boy because he met this cassowary in the wild, because he did not know its ferocity, picked up a stick on the side of the road to drive it, and was slapped by the bird's paw for several meters away, what is even more incredible is that the bird still did not stop, chasing up to the little boy's neck is a paw, resulting in its carotid artery rupture and death.
According to incomplete statistics, this "killer bird" has launched 150 attacks on humans in the past two decades, and the humans attacked are either dead or injured. If humans face this bird unarmed, it can be said that there is no chance to retreat from the whole body, and the degree of harm is comparable to that of the tiger of the king of the forest.
According to relevant international researchers, cassowaries are very similar to a Cretaceous dinosaur called oviraptorosaur, and the structure and function of its crown are also the same. A foreign scientist believes that cassowaries are most likely evolved by oviraptorosaurs, so they can have such similar characteristics and aggression.
Although this bird has terrible attack, there is no need to worry too much, because their diet is mainly to eat the fruits and seeds of the Lauraceae family, and only hunt small insects, birds, fish and snakes to fill their stomachs when food is scarce or in a bad mood. If humans do not actively provoke them, they generally do not attack humans.
However, this bird has a strong sense of territory, even if the same kind invades its territory, it will attack it, and even after the other party leaves its territory, it will chase after it until the other party pays a heavy price. The leg strength of this bird is very strong, and with a blow with all its strength, it may not even be able to withstand the hard steel plate, even if it is a tiger, it may be injured by its leg attack.
Therefore, if you encounter this bird while traveling abroad, don't provoke it at will, for cassowaries, people do not offend me, I do not offend. In most cassowary injuries, it is due to human harassment, feeding, or getting too close to their food and cubs. In short, once the cassowary is pulled into the vendetta list, his life is at stake .
