The Story of the Cassowary

Cairns, FNQ

Alongside the bird was this plaque with a story. Throughout the Aquarium quite a
few displays and plaques enlightened the visiting throng. One wouldn't want to
mess with a Cassoway, they can rip you apart with their huge claws, and they use
their feet as weapons.

A very interesting bird and display. I recall learning about their ability to disembowel!

They do have a "don't mess with me" look about them. An interesting image.
