Cassowary, the best bird ever!
This is a subreddit dedicated to pictures, videos, stories, and discussion of Cassowaries, possibly the most awesome bird known to man.
Info: Cassowaries are very large flightless birds in the genus Casuarius native to the tropical forests of New Guinea, nearby islands and north-eastern Australia. There are three extant species recognized today. The most common of these, the Southern Cassowary, is the third tallest and second heaviest living bird, smaller only than the ostrich and emu. According to the Guinness Book of Records, the Cassowaries are the world’s most dangerous birds, capable of dealing fatal blows.

Tooth and Claw Host Visits Australia - Sees Cassowaries
I listened to this podcast about Cassowaries and thought it was super interesting. The host of Tooth and Claw joined the hosts of this podcast to talk about his trip to Australia where he saw Cassowaries. They are ornithologists so they talked a lot about all of the unique things about these super cool birds: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/41-southern-cassowary-with-tooth-and-claws-wes-larson/id1688396186?i=1000655395246

Isn't a Cassowary basically an Oviraptor?
Im no scientist, so it's likely that I'm way off.
But I can't help but see the many similarities between the two species.
Most obvious is the build, both are a bipedal long necked omnivore with a large body, strong legs, comparatively small arms and a crest on their head.
Off course this also describes most Phorusrhacids.
(Which in my opinion is just a fancy way of saying "Forest Rockets")
These are the terror birds, huge flightless murder pigeons.
However, these Phorusrhacids have very large parrot like beaks.
And the Cassowary does not.
Granted, the Oviraptor is depicted with a long tail, as all [dino]raptors do.
And the Cassowary does not have a long tail either.
But it's the head crest that makes me think it could be a Oviraptor.
65 million years is a long time.
And since then, a beak could have grown or a tail could have shrunk.
But why would the cassowary have a crest, if not from a distant ancestor.
And while most [dino]raptors are depicted with a lizard mouth, the Oviraptor specifically has a beak.
So I conclude that the cassowary is basically the last species of.. what we consider to be [dino]Raptors.
But again, perhaps I'm way off.

I’m just going to jump right into it… if you think you could take on the deadliest bird on the planet, you have a home at r/icould1v1acassowary . Look, they’re tough, they have claws, we get it. I would almost say I could take on two if locked in a room with them. Wolves are another story
