a couple of years ago at Amboseli game park in southern Kenya a Japanese businessman, on tour with his wife and collegues, walked down an embankment just of the veranda bar of the main house...he wanted to pose next to a hippo that was feeding at the edge of a stream. in front of his fellow travelers the hippo stuck out its head and bit him in half.
similarly, an ostrich, far from being the cutesy, dorky creature portrayed by disney, is an agressive bird and is able to kick a hole in a human torso or sever a head with its rear claw with one swift swipe of the foot.
do't f*%k with mother nature.
as for my avatar - it's an emu - isn't it just the cutest thing?
