Happy Thanksgiving!
Well, at least to all Americans reading this. But for you people in other countries, feel free to go get a large bird and eat it today anyway.
Just don’t try to get a cassowary for dinner. It’s more likely to kill you than get killed itself.
If you ever laughed at the concept of dinosaurs having feathers, think again. It’s not chickens or sparrows you should be thinking of, but birds like this cassowary. Just look at those talons, and those sleek black feathers, and that hard crest of bone protecting its head. Oh, and don’t forget that look in its eye that’s sizing you up for dinner.
That bright blue is just to warn you not to mess with it.
