Meeting with a curious young cassowary on the beach. Everything worked out this time!

The cassowary Casuarius casuarius looks completely harmless, but it is original and "elegant" - but sensing a threat (or just seeing a person on the territory of its possessions), this flightless inhabitant of the rainforests of New Guinea and northeastern Australia immediately attacks.

The main weapon of this bird is huge legs and powerful long claws. Cassowaries can reach speeds of up to 50 km / h, so a person cannot hide from such an enemy. It is man who is the only potential enemy of cassowaries.

It is worth noting that under normal conditions these birds prefer to eat fruits, mushrooms, snails, insects, frogs, snakes and other small animals. Nevertheless, in 2004, the cassowary was included in the Guinness Book of Records as the most dangerous bird on Earth.

Polar terns drive polar bears away from their nesting sites.

This small bird belongs to the seagulls. Body length 36-43 cm, wingspan 74-84 cm. White in color, with a black cap and a gray mantilla, a forked tail, strongly carved. In spring and summer, the beak turns red. Paws are short, which is why he walks waddling. 

The Polar tern breeds in the polar regions, on the islands and peninsulas of Northern Europe, Greenland, Siberia, Alaska, Canada. But it winters in the Southern Hemisphere in the subantarctic and Antarctic waters of the Southern Ocean and its surroundings.

No, just imagine! From one pole to the other! From polar bears to penguins!

Due to these flights between the Arctic and Antarctica, the polar tern observes two summers every year (Arctic and Antarctic) and sees more daylight than any other living creature on Earth.
