Cassowaries are considered by some to be extremely dangerous, but one study indicates most attacks were linked to the bird expecting to be fed.
A Florida man was killed on Friday by his exotic pet, a large, flightless breed of bird that has a reputation for being extremely dangerous.. Police were called to the man's property in northern Florida, where he houses other exotic pets, to find the man badly wounded. Hajos was taken to the hospital, where he died from the injuries he sustained from the bird.according to the San Diego Zoo
The species' size isn't its only impressive feature. Cassowaries have a dagger-like claw on each foot that can grow to be four inches long, allowing them to slice predators or threats by kicking them. They can also run 31 miles per hour, jump 7 feet straight up into the air and are decent swimmers, according to the zoo.
As a result, many, including the San Diego Zoo, have labeled cassowaries 'the most dangerous bird in the world.' That reputation was slightly fortified in July 2017a 1999 study of Cassowary attacks
