Do you believe that there is a bird in the world that is 1.8 meters tall and weighs 80 kilograms, and can easily kill people? This bird does exist, it is the crane ostrich.
The crane ostrich is an incapable bird that lives in Australia and New Guinea, and is the third largest bird after the ostrich and the emu. The ostrich has similarities to the ostrich but has its own characteristics, except for its relatively small size, the crane ostrich has a bare head and a large, flattened crown, like a helmet to protect the head. The crane ostrich has a bright red flesh hanging under its throat, and its long neck is mostly bare. Its body was covered with dense black hard feathers, and the hard wings on its degenerated wings stood up like wire. This unique shape makes the crane ostrich gloriously the only bird in nature with "armor". Not only that, the crane ostrich is also "strong in martial arts", can cross the forest at a speed of 50 kilometers per hour, jump up to 1.5 meters high, and is also a swimming expert. Legend has it that this bird can swallow charcoal, so it is also known as "cassowarman".
Crane ostriches usually feed on the fruits of plants, but also eat fungi, snails, snakes, frogs and other small animals. There have been many reports of their attacks on humans, so the 2004 Guinness Book of World Records listed the crane ostrich as the most dangerous bird in the world. Some scientists have come forward to justify the crane ostrich, saying that it will not take the initiative to attack, and when the territory is invaded, they will fight back when they feel threatened.
Generally speaking, the crane ostrich is very "shy", but if someone or animal touches the crane ostrich, it will fight back fiercely, sweeping the opponent with strong legs, and even killing the offender. The damage caused by the crane ostrich mainly comes from its two feet, which is a natural weapon, the crane ostrich has three toes on each foot, each toe has a sharp claw, the middle claw is particularly dangerous, it is 120 mm long and sharp like a dagger. Once it encounters an enemy, the crane ostrich jumps into the air, aiming at the target, and sends a fatal blow with its powerful legs, and its claws can even cut open the opponent's stomach and remove the intestines. At the same time, the crane ostrich is running at high speed, and the bone helmet on its head can be pushed to a small tree. During World War II, U.S. and Australian troops were warned to stay away from new Guinea.
