In this blog post I am going to write about my mascot, which is a cassowary.
I chose this bird as my mascot as it is very dangerous and strong.
My bird is found in many countries, there are different types of cassowaries though. Some of them live in New Guinea, some in Australia, Yapen, New Britain and on the Aru Islands.
The bird is a good mascot for me as it is vicious, quite tall and strong -- just like me.
And they are afraid of only a few "things". Because they are so strong and dangerous their only natural predators are dingos and crocodiles (and humans, of course).
My bird is dangerous or special in many ways: Cassowaries are a velociraptor-like bird and they are believed to be very dangerous for humans and domestic animals. There are many reported cases of cassowaries attacking humans and severely injuring them, however, only two people are believed to have died from those attacks. The reason for the birds’ attacks was that they expected food (from humans) or defended their territory/themselves.
