    Even though their size is insane, they probably weighed like 200-250 kg, meaning they were pretty light.

    I’d rather fight one of these than any sort of land based raptor.

      A cassowary usually weighs around 59-85 kg and they can absolutely fuck you up, so a 200-250 kg one the size of a giraffe with a lance on its face is a huge no from me.

        Sure they can, and could disembowel you with one kick.

        I’d still rather fight one of those than some properly quadruped super crocodile.

          Suddenly the Americans refusing to give up their heavy assault weapons makes a bit of sense. Only takes one mad scientist and boom theyre roaming the earth again.
