Description

G'day All! Here's a guy that has a face that only a mother could love :)This is a Cassowary though isn't your best looking bird but is one of the dangerous. Cassowaries stand 1.2 to 1.8 m (about 4 to 6 ft) high and can run as fast as 48 km/h (30 mph) when frightened. Their inner toes bear long, straight, knifelike nails, which are deadly defense weapons. The loose, hairlike body plumage is brownish-black; the head and neck are bare and brightly colored in various combinations of red, yellow, and blue. The top of the head bears a large, bony crest. Hope you all are enjoying your weekend where ever you are :) Thank you for your comments and I can tell you that they are always greatly appreciated :) Take care Shane

ROFL - that's true only his mom could love this. From the way you discribe him he sounds like he's a few notches down on evolution and is still abit of a dinosaur... Wondrful shot and words.

He really has beautiful colors but that thing on his head is weird. At first I thought he was wearing a hat lol. Wonderful lighting and capture.

Never knew such a creature existed! Modern (?) relative of the v-raptors perhaps??? Aside from the curious subject, wonderful capture~ Thanks for sharing!
