Entering a park in Australia there was a warning about the Cassowaries in the park. Said to back away slowing, and slowly raise your hands over your head to make you appear larger than the bird.

I looked at my buddy and said “Wait - to APPEAR to look bigger!!?? How large are these things!!??”

For some reason, I'm reminded of the Pierson's Puppeteer creatures of Larry Niven's Ringworld.

It’s well known that cassowaries can be dangerous, and indeed together with ostriches [UPDATE: and chickens] they are the only birds known to have definitely killed humans*.

Looks similar to the Apteryx, a “wingless bird with hairy feathers,”

These birds tip the scale at 100 lbs, so while not as large as alligators, you might consider them small dinos.

Cassowary with clueless tourist on Australian beach.

I wonder if the bird expects him to feed it.
