(CNN) The earliest bird reared by humans may have been a cassowary -- often called the world's most dangerous bird because of its long, dagger-like toe. New Guinea is a large island north of Australia. The eastern half of the island is Papua New Guinea, while the western half forms part of Indonesia. The foot of the southern cassowary (Casuarius casuarius), also known as the double-wattled cassowary, is shown. "And this is not some small fowl, it is a huge, ornery, flightless bird that can eviscerate you," she said in a news statement.
