An ostrich-sized bird that is capable of disembowelling a human with its claws has been seen roaming around the English countryside.
The South American rhea, which stands six feet tall and can run at 40mph, has been on the run for two years foiling all attempts to catch it.
The giant flightless bird, which has six-inch claws and could kill with a single blow, was photographed by Steve Lynes near the RAF Odiham base in Hampshire.
