A Florida man was killed on Friday by what ornithologists say is an extremely dangerous bird. It was a cassowary — an enormous, flightless bird around which even experienced zookeepers take precautions. The man, who police identified as Marvin Hajos, 75, owned the farm where the cassowary was located and the altercation took place. The Sheriff’s Office said they may coordinate with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission as the investigation moves forward. Three toes have pointed nails, the most dangerous of which is the middle, which ends in a veritable dagger several inches long.
