Cassowary Bird Skeletal Anatomy Heavyweight Zip Hoodie

Do you like birds? Do you like dinosaurs? Do you like birds that are basically still dinosaurs and also perfectly willing to physically destroy you? Then you'll love the cassowary, and we're sure you'll love this glimpse into their skeletal structure! This incredible illustrative etching is by artist Edouard d'Alton, and depicts in stunning detail the skeletal anatomy of a Southern Cassowary (Casuarius casuarius). It's one of d'Alton's many gorgeous pieces from the 1821 osteological masterpiece Die vergleichende Osteologie. Is that the best collection of scientific illustrations ever published? In our opinion, it's got to be right up there. Sometimes we dream about it at night, and can almost smell its pages.

This is the perfect piece for bird nerds, vulture culturists, bone collectors, osteologists, animal anatomists, zoologists, any of the ologists really, and people who just want to start a conversation by making people ask, "Hey, what's that on your shirt?" That's when you hit them with the cassowary facts! We'll get you started with our favorite: they have a 5-inch claw on each foot and like to kick, so if you get too close they could easily just disembowel you! Let's all sit with that knowledge for awhile and consider our life and choices in regards to how close we're willing to get to wildlife. Let it be a lesson to us all.

This heavyweight zip-up hoodie is made with a very fancy low-pill, high-density cotton-poly fleece, for outstanding warmth and comfort. The cuffs and waistband are a stretchy spandex-blend and it's possible that ancient incantations were spoken over them during manufacturing, but we truly can't say for sure. It has split-pouch pockets, which is handy for when you need to stuff two deadly snakes into your pockets but they don't get along, and a covered zipper for keeping out the chill, obviously. The hood is jersey-lined and offers great sun protection, not that any of you are vampires, haha, that would be super silly, but also if you have bat minions they could probably hang inside your hoodie like a little cave.
