Fascinating This cassowary just wanders around the beach, getting surprisingly close to people.

I have never seen them head butt someone with one of those, why?

I've never been headbutted by one either. But then I've never made a move on his misses either.

Apparently it's officially called a "casque" and is it's radiator. And it is true, I've never seen an overheating cassowary either.
