00:07Now, what if I told you this bird is basically a living dinosaur and one of the most dangerous animals on the planet?
00:16Meet the cassowary. Don't let its fabulous blue neck and funky helmet fool you.
00:22This feathered velociraptor from the jungles of Australia and New Guinea is not here to play.
00:30It can't fly, but it can run up to 30 miles per hour and jump 7 feet in the air.
00:36And the real kicker? Those feet.
00:39Each one has a 5-inch dagger-like claw that it uses to defend itself with powerful, disemboweling kicks.
00:47So, if you ever meet one, admire its beauty from a very, very safe distance.
