Birds are known to be the direct descendants of dinosaurs.

In any case, the evolutionary origin of their feathers can be traced back to Carnotaurus (a huge carnivorous dinosaur 9 meters long and with teeth the size of daggers).

Looking at the modern cassowary, it is very easy to believe that they are close relatives with the carnotaurus: the Guinness Book of Records calls the cassowary the most dangerous bird on Earth.

A disturbed cassowary can deliver a dangerous kick with a hypertrophied claw.

During World War II, the US and Australian military stationed in New Guinea were instructed not to engage in conflict with these aviancosaurs.
