The Animal: Meet Mama Cass, a beautiful Cassowary Bird
Age: 25 years
Wild Fact: This is the most lethal bird in the world, but Mama Cass is one of the only tame ones in her species. A ratite (flightless bird), the Cassowary is a cousin to the Ostrich and Emu, yet it resembles a Velociraptor with its deadly, long talons.
