see that giant bone on its head? well, that head and that bone came right next to my face. it really only wanted some fruit. i don't think it wanted to hurt anyone although alexi saw things in a bit of a different, panicked light. for example, he threw the pawpaw skin into the back of the van in an attempt to protect us all. (he was acting on good instincts. these birds have been known to attack and severely injure humans with their giant bone and raptor claws on their big feet). this Cassowary however, like many, has seen many humans encroaching on its natural habitat and subsequently is semi-domesticated..... so you see locating and picking the pawpaw bits off of the bed and seat in the back of the van was very amusing.
