There are no lions or tigers or bears in Papua New Guinea.
What there is is (arguably) much, much worse.
Cassowaries.
A cassowary is, to be frank, a man killing bird.
Picture an ostrich. Shrink it just a little. Only 6 1/2 feet tall. Just 125 lbs.
It's head is electric blue, to warn you.
And picture the feet of a raptor. 5 inch dagger toes.
And they're crazy territorial.
They will chase you at 30 mph.
This is why missionaries have guard dogs.
A diversion while we run away.
