The cassowary MUST be the Brisbane mascot!

It is native to Queensland and can kill you with its kick.

Beautiful bird. I never saw or heard of it. I found out it's one of the most dangerous birds in the world. The claws...holy...3 long claws, one is 5" long. The feet look like dinosaur feet. I know...birds are descendants of dinosaurs. One kick can rip you apart.

Go to 1:10 for a close up of the claws immediately followed by some guy with a shield duking it out with the bird.
