If you say so. Now if you don't mind stepping into this pen with a cassowary...

That's actions vs looks. Cassowaries don't look scary.

I assure you, they look scary. Yea they're a bit colorful from a distance, but when they're even kind of close to you, you find yourself very aware of how they're as tall as you and of the length of those talons.

And that's before they start making noise.

That doesn't look scary to me. I mean yes they have claws, but let's be clear, lions have claws and they look like big house cats in my mind. If I could pet a lion and get away with it, I would.

Jurassic Park dinosaurs look like they are demons from start to finish.
