Well you are gonna LOVE this bird, the cassowary. Check this out: it lays its eggs and then takes off, leaving the father to incubate them and raise them. The ultimate Mr. Mom story. But wait, it gets better. She leaves him to hook up with as many males as she can, then sometimes comes back to the eggs she laid, only to eat them!

So, just in case you ever thought you had a bad childhood, or your mom wasn't very nice, be grateful! They also have one foot that has the claw of death. It has a HUGE, sharp, knife-like shape and has been known to bludgeon people when crossed . No wonder they have road signs all over to make people aware. This is a bird you do not want to upset. Although when it comes to having kids, a woman who puts it all on the man... that's a nice change if you ask me.
