The cassowary, a large, flightless bird from Australia and New Guinea, is the world's most dangerous bird.

This is due to the bird's powerful legs and formidable 5-inch, dagger-like inner claws capable of inflicting severe, even fatal injuries.

While generally shy, these birds can deliver devastating kicks, run fast, and possess immense strength.

This makes them formidable threats in their rainforest habitats, though attacks on humans are rare and usually involve provocation.

They can jump up to 7 feet high and run up to 31 mph through dense rain forests.

They are vital to the ecosystem for seed dispersal in their native tropical rainforests.

While often called the "most dangerous," attacks are relatively rare compared to other, more lethal animals like crocodiles.
