Thought you may like to 'feast' your eyes upon a few more ancient residents of the regions in and around Australia.
First, moving clockwise from top to bottom, is the Dromornis, ancient Ancestor of the Emu, stood about 3 metres tall,
Second, the Genyornis, Ancestor of the Modern Cassowary, stood between 2-3 metres tall,
Third the Modern Cassowary, a bit smaller but stil NOT to be messed with, very bad tempered in nature btw,
Fourth the fossilised TOOTH of the Megalodn Shark, known to have roamed the waters around Australia, Africa and possibly Sth. America, length ranged between 60 and 80 feet. Kind of make a Great White look like a Guppy...LOL.

Cassowaries can gut you with their special gutting claw. Tough dinos.

So can Emus and 'roos as well.
@Triphid We have a stupid but fun insurance commercial.[video.search.yahoo.com]
@Mooolah You've got to be puling my leg.
Emus with their heads in the sand, who dreamed up that bullshit.
An Emu sitting in a deckchair, yeah right, I believe in the Tooth Fairy as well, NOT.
2 Rules of the Aussie Outback,
- Stay away, well AWAY from Emus, they are crazy, mean and nasty,
- IF an emu starts chasing you, run fast enough to get ahead of the person in front of you and leave THEM to face the Crazy Bush Chook.
Oh, and bring a spare set of underwear with you BECAUSE you WILL need them as well IF you survive.
Looks like chicken

Well out here we call Emus the Bush Chooks, Chooks being Aussie slang for chickens, although their flesh does NOT look like chicken meat since it is a much darker and a very oily meat as well.
