People climb trees to escape from bears. What do bears climb trees to escape from?

Yes, that's right, it's the Wolverine!

We grew up calling them the 'Old Man of the Woods.'

I was in Australia decades ago and the news had a story about one of these killing a teenager.  Also one kicked a guy in the chest and stopped his heart.  It's a big bird with a temper.

Of course this critter would be Australian. All my surprise that it would randomly and savagely kill a human with a four inch claw has instantly evaporated.

Cassowary birds - the serial killer disguised as a bird. Positively sociopathic creatures.

The perfect mascot for an RCAF CF-18 Sqn I would assume

 

[Loachman]

Because they're flightless, or because they kill senior citizens?

I thought that those things were poisonous as well, like every other form of life in Australia.

Killer deer? Who knew....


MELBOURNE, Australia — A man was killed and his wife critically injured on Wednesday when they were attacked by their pet deer on a rural Australian property, police said.

The 46-year-old man entered the stag’s enclosure in the morning at Moyhu in Victoria state, Police Sergeant Paul Pursell said.
“His wife and son heard the commotion and went out to see what was going on,” Pursell told reporters. “His wife entered the enclosure to assist her husband and she was also attacked.”

Clearly a deer and big bird registry is required.

Don't forget ostriches, another flightless bird not to be trifled with.
