World's Most Dangerous Bird (Cassowaries)
According to the Guinness Book of Records, the Cassowaries are the world's most dangerous birds, capable of dealing fatal blows. They are very unpredictable, aggressive creatures, especially if wounded or cornered. The Cassowary lives in the rain forests of Australia and New Guinea and are actually pretty shy animals if undisturbed, but if you get to close and it thinks you’re a threat you could receive a bone-breaking kick or get sliced by its dagger-like sharp claws.During WWII, soldiers stationed in New Guinea were warned to stay away from these birds, but some of them still became victims. The Cassowary is also one of the most difficult animals to keep in the Zoo because of the frequent injuries suffered by Zoo keepers that look after them.This bird can take care of itself, but, unfortunately, this doesn’t seem to help it very much against human cruelty and it is on the endangered species list, along with so many others

Most Dangerous Blue Ring Octopus
Another serious threat for those that wish to explore the waters of Australia is the blue-ringed octopus - one of the most toxic sea creatures in the world found off the coast of Australia, New Guinea, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Even though the octopus is only the size of a golf ball, there is no known antidote for its powerful venom. It causes motor paralysis, eventually leading to cardiac arrest. First aid treatment consists of pressure on the wound and mouth-to-mouth breathing that can last for several hours.
The Great White Shark
This exceptionally large shark known as the white death is known as world’s largest known predatory fish. They can be found in great numbers on the southern coasts of Australia and, even though they have often been depicted as fatal to humans, they do not target them as a prey. Many of the attacks we’re not fatal, the shark only performing test-biting, out of curiosity. Humans are not a good meal, considering the shark’s slow digestion compared to the human’s muscle to fat ratio.

Most Expensive Cricket Player of IPL Kevin Pietersen
Star England players Kevin Pietersen and Andrew Flintoff on Friday emerged as the world’s most expensive cricketers after being sold for a whopping $1.55 million (approx Rs 7.35 cr) in the Indian Premier League auction, surpassing Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni who had fetched Rs six crore in the inaugural edition.
In an auction telecast live by most channels, it was Pietersen and Flintoff who were expectedly the most sought after exceeding their base prices by huge margins. The hard-hitting Pietersen was bought by Bangalore Royal Challengers while Flintoff went to Chennai Super Kings at the auction, which had its share of glamour with Bollywood stars Preity Zinta, Shilpa Shetty and Juhi Chawla in attendance.
Bangalore Royal Challengers spent most of their total amount of $1.95 million on the highly talented Pietersen who had a base price of $1.35 million. Flintoff, another former England captain, expectedly got a good bidding and will now feature in the same team as Dhoni who is the captain of Chennai Super Kings.
Upcoming South African batsman Jean Paul Duminy ($ 950,00), Bangladesh paceman Mashrafe Mortaza ($ 600,00), unheralded South African all-rounder Tyron Henderson ($650,000) triggered surprise bidding wars among the eight franchisees. The likes of Duminy and Mortaza made a killing at the auction far exceeding their base prices.
In contrast, the Australians, struggling to hold on to their cricketing supremacy for the past few months, were a big flop with several of their players like pacer Stuart Clark, wicketkeeper Brad Haddin and another fast bowler Ashley Noffke failing to attract any bids.
Among other players first to be auctioned, Australia’s Shuan Tait was purchased by title holders of the inaugural edition Rajasthan Royals for $ 375,000 while upcoming South African batsman Jean Paul Duminy went to Mumbai Indians for $ 950,000.
The biggest surprise was bidding war over Bangladesh Mortaza, who despite a very modest base price of $ 50,000, was picked up for $ 600,000 by Kolkata Knight Riders. The pacer was also sought by Kings XI Punjab which was engaged in the bidding war for almost half an hour.
Among the bargain buys, West Indian paceman Fidel Edwards was went for his base price of $ 150,000 to Deccan Chargers. England’s Owais Shah and Paul Collingwood were bought by Delhi Daredevils for $ 275,000 each.
In all five Englishmen, three West Indians, two each from South Africa, New Zealand, Australia and Bangladesh, besides one from Sri Lanka were bought by the eight franchise teamsout of a 49-strong pool.

Each diamond ball is studded with 5,728 pieces of diamonds with a worth of approximately $68,500.
World's Most Expensive cricket Bat
As if the world champions were not formidable enough, Australian experts are hard at work designing a "smart" bat.
By reducing vibration in the handle by up to 42 per cent, the Smart Cricket Bat will enable players to strike the ball without fear of strain or injury.
The secret weapon is being developed by the School of Aerospace, Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering at RMIT University, Melbourne.
Its innovative handle is equipped with electro-mechanical sensors and a vibration-absorbing synthetic material which converts shockwaves into heat and dampens vibration.
Consisting of a carbon fibre shell with a polymer insert, it employs technology called active vibration control which is already used in baseball bats and tennis racquets.
That increases the size of the bat's "sweet spot" - the zone in which the batsman experiences the least discomfort when smashing the ball towards the boundary.
"The big push for this is players who want a bit of technology in the bat and it would make them feel slightly better when the ball hits the bat away from the sweet spot," said Prof Sabu John, an RMIT expert in "intelligent" materials and the leader of the project. Prof John, a former research fellow at Imperial College, in London, told The Australian newspaper that the bat was being developed in conjunction with the manufacturer Kookaburra Sport and could be on sale within 18 months.
But a further £240,000 was needed before it could be manufactured on commercial levels, he said.
It is expected to cost about £40 more than the most expensive bats currently on the market, which are between £200 and £250 in Australia.
While tennis racquets and golf clubs are made of materials such as carbon fibre and titanium, cricket's archaic laws insist that bats can only be made from wood.
Prof John believes that he has found a loophole which would enable him to get around this: the restrictions apply to the bat's blade but not the handle. "As far as we know, it's legal," he said

The oil, textiles and chemicals giant was founded by his father, Dhirubhai, who started work as a petrol pump attendant. His new pad will also include a helipad, health club, hanging gardens and six floors of car parking. Construction has already started on what will eventually be a 175m tower and planners are aiming to complete it by September next year. The building, already worth ￡500 million, could start a rush on skyscrapers. Earlier this year, Mr Ambani was rated as the richest resident Indian with a net worth of US$20.1 billion. He came 14th in Forbes' 2007 worldwide rankings

According to the lawyers, divorce could settle within months although the couple will remain married until October.
Since there is no pre-nuptial agreement signed ahead of their 1980 marriage, under Californian law she is entitled to half of her husband''s wealth.
Robyn has roped in celebrity lawyer Laura Wasser whose clients include Angelina Jolie and Britney Spears.
Mel's business empire, built up with the help of a friend from his Gallipoli filming days, Bruce Davey, includes the independent film and distribution company Icon Entertainment, which last year bought the Dendy cinema chain for 21 million dollars, reports the Daily Telegraph.
He added an ocean-view five-bedroom home of David Duchovny and Tea Leoni to his portfolio for USD 11.5 million to his Mailbu mansion.
The price was a snip compared to the USD 23 million he made in March last year for the sale of a Malibu oceanfront property his trust had bought in 2005 for 22,673,226 dollars.
Two years ago he sold his 28-room Greenwich, Connecticut, mansion for USD 39.5 million.
In May, 2007, Gibson bought a 160-plus-hectare ranch in Costa Rica for USD 25.8 million.
In 2004, the couple bought Fiji''s white sand-fringed Mago Island for USD 15 million with part of the proceeds from Gibson''s controversial movie The Passion of the Christ.
