The cassowary was the only thing in the zoo that Steve Irwin seemed a little bit scared of. There's an episode where the cassowary got loose and he immediately stopped joking around and told all the keepers to go get the shields to corral it back into its pen. I wouldn't dream of fucking around with a cassowary.

Lol I always imagined cassowaries as the armor division in the emu war.
