Description
This picture isn't as much about the technicalities as it is about sharing a capture of a creature so strange that one has to believe dinosaurs roamed the earth once. To see this animal in person is something quite amazing. It really looks like it jumped through time from the prehistoric ages.
Fantastic but strange bird and definitely proof of our the early, scaly inhabitants of this planet. That, or that God has a strange sense of humor.
Taken at the Umgeni River Bird Park, Durban, South Africa

I know this creature, found it in the zoo last summer. It's in my gallery, so if you are interested... it's one my first shots. It's body looks like an ostrich, but his head is special indeed. Nice capture!

I have enjoyed your bird photo's, the colours are great and this one is equally interesting.

Those Casuaris are really a left over of the dinosaur time, a very old species and very rare in this days... their home is Australia... and they mainly live on fruit... they are unbelievable big and the keeper in Cairns wildlife park told me he is more afraid of them than of the crocodiles, because they have very nasty claws on their feet and can jump up from standing as hig as your head and hurt you if angry

What the heck is that! It doesn't look as though it's from another planet let alone another time. You captured it beautifully. The colours are so vivid.
