The cassowary has an intimidating stare and the bulk to back it up. These Australian rain forest-dwellers are the second-largest birds in the world, reaching 5.5 feet (1.7 meters) and 155 pounds (70 kilograms) and looking up only to the ostrich. Cassowaries tend to avoid humans but can use their powerful legs and dagger-like nails to deliver punishing blows to any aggressors. Though they run, jump, and swim well, cassowaries cannot fly
