This week we're continuing our look back at animal's we've featured on Wildlife Wednesday. Only 9 instead of the 12 I mentioned in the first part of the recap. I miscounted when I planned these posts out, forgetting that a couple animals had 2 part posts. Anyways on to the 2nd part of the recap!
Cassowaries are often called the most dangerous birds in the world. They have a dagger like claw on their inner toe. With a quick kick, they can slice open a predator.
Wombats are the largest burrowing herbivore and the 2nd largest marsupials.
The favorite food of the snowy owl is the lemming. They can eat over 1600 lemmings in one year. They also eat other birds, fish, rodents and rabbits.

Orcas eat fish, squid, penguins, otters, turtles, seals and sea lions. They also hunt sharks and even other whales. Different orca populations seem to specialize the type of food they hunt.
