The most dangerous bird in the world, on the bike path in Elst
A cassowary, known as the world's most dangerous bird, escaped from a private zoo in Elst, Gelderland. The bird was spotted by a cyclist, prompting a police response to safely capture it. The owner, gemstone entrepreneur Ruben Marsman, has a variety of exotic animals on his property. Despite the danger posed by the cassowary, there are no specific regulations in the Netherlands preventing individuals from owning such birds, as long as they comply with CITES regulations. Marsman has faced legal issues regarding the illegal possession of other exotic animals, but he is currently allowed to keep the cassowary.
