The Cassowary: a large black flightless bird of Australia and New Guinea having a horny head crest. This was a rare sighting; two adult cassowaries, probably male, and two chicks. They were crossing the road. The females are typically about 6-feet tall and can get very angry and very agressive. Being equipped with Rapture-like claws, an angry Cassowary isn't something you wanna be around. They'll also go after you with that large bone on their head. Thankfully, nothing so dramatic occurred when we spotted them.
