Just stretch out your arms and tell the Cassowary to stay calm. Always works!

No, you tell the fucking cassowary what to do. I'm headed in the other direction.

TIL cassowary eggs are vibrant green.

I wonder at which point ‘where did I leave my eggs?’ becomes a greater evolutionary pressure than ‘I need to hide my eggs’, because I’m assuming cassowaries haven’t had to worry about the latter for a while!

Cassowaries are quite capable of defending their eggs, nothing in their environment is a threat to them

All (chicken, at least...probably other species too) eggs start out white...but pigments get added near the end of the egg development process.

That's how my girls have eggs in many different colors.

Chicken eggs of various colors.

Whoever took this picture is lucky to be alive. Cassowaries are incredibly dangerous

You stare at her, and she just stares right back. And that's when the attack comes. Not from the front, but from the side.

My favorite bird of all time!

BIRD FACT: The name Cassowary is derived from the Papuan kasu weri, which translates to 'horned head'.

When you're a fucking dinosaur who'll rip someone's guts out, you don't care

Cassowary killed my colonist!

Well this is a Science Com so I am going to explain it. A rabbit is a particle that is periodically generated as a form of radioactive decay by tophats.
