7 Most Dangerous Birds In The World
2Number 1: Southern Cassowary
The southern cassowary is probably the most dangerous living bird in the world. It's a bird that could cause a fatal attack on humans, just like ostriches. Considering the size, Southern Cassowary is the second largest bird globally – weighing between 75 – 80 kg and up to 5.1 in height. Like ostriches, the legs are the most powerful weapon of cassowaries.
There are three toes on each leg of the cassowary. These toes are equipped with 5 inches long, razor-sharp claws. So, a single strike from a Southern cassowary could break bones, critical injuries, or even death.
Unprovoked attacks from cassowaries are rare. If provoked or feel like a threat to their chicks, cassowaries would attack. The method of attacking itself that makes cassowary attacks so dangerous is that they can strike in both forward and downward direction.
