Big bird attacks person - cassowary (not a pretty sight)

[PornographicSoul]

big bird has been getting into the pcp again

[Malkohut]

Why is big bird so mad?

I don't remember this episode of Sesame Street.

[deedin]

These birds are the second ever in the world to kill a human with physical force. They will do it again.

[guevarachacho]

i like how the dog tries to defend the people ^_^

[jamstamanify]

I bet he couldnt do that vault again if he tried

[AkatsukiPR0]

Clever girl...

[47lionking]

damn i've seen one of this in the zoo... and i didn't know they're very dangerous bird ..

[SillyBoizProductionz]

You got fuuuuuuhcked up.

[sompret]

The best thing out of this though? You can still befriend cassowaries when they're still little adorable chicks.

Not sure how that'll affect their inherent aggro, but you'd still be buddy-buds with a kickass dinosaur bird.

[Callofduty4nub]

cuz of there claws very territorial and dangerous bird

[Callofduty4nub]

I heard those things can rip a persons stomach according to Guinness world records

[iedanus]

@Callofduty4nub

ow yes they can.

the kasuaris is an very agressive big bird

[linkxkid13]

I WOULD BE SCARED SHITLESS..

[Dhragonfly]

those thinggs have massive claws..that would shred through a person's skin easily

[BouilleurdenfantS]

at least the dog had fun

[zgrillo2004]

Damn. thats very nasty. I would kill it if it tried attacking me

[rocelko]

@zgrillo2004 yeah wonder how fast you will react after noticed four 12cmts claws going to your stomach and chest aswell

[zgrillo2004]

@rocelko dont care rly. as long as I am alive. XP

[rocelko]

@zgrillo2004 lol nvm

[supakyatto]

@zgrillo2004 Good luck with that. Call me from the hospital and let me know how it went.

[fluorescentcentipede]

Chuck Norris chickens!

[MajorasFlask]

nobody can flip fence better than this guy

[ParaTroopa506]

It's called a shotgun.

[voodothurday]

that is a real angry bird

[kedwardsTWO]

im positive its called giving the bird a good old kick

[EmiiAhnaBoat]

@kedwardsTWO These guys go up to 30 mph. Good luck with that. And after they catch up to you, you'll be horribly injured. Only Chuck Norris can tame them.

[kedwardsTWO]

@EmiiAhnaBoat well, if it has balls, my method should in theory work..........

[dmcguire70]

why do ppl on you tube always talk about Chuck Norris??

[appleman1324]

woah, i think that bird is like chuck norris's pet or something

[Dtt4]

Laugh out loud!!

[KingdomHearts500]

dang. australia has so many killer animals around

[TheDoomskyte]

hahahahah run dude RUUUN!!!!!!

[Alucardarian]

Yo one of my co-workers is getting attacked. Let me take a video and post it on youtube

[TheSololobo]

i would get his little head and shove it up its ass

[MrShayneOneill]

@TheSololobo Good luck with that mate. You'll be having a hard time doing any shoving when your lower intistines hanging out your arse. These things are renowned man killers.

[TheSololobo]

@MrShayneOneill Damn I didn't know cassowary's pulled peoples intestines out through their arse - never mind.

[niflap]

Cassuaries & kangaroos have similar weapons as veloceraptors. The difference is, the dromeosaurs were supposedly predators who used the claw to take down prey, but the other 2 are vegetarians who only use the weapons in defence. Horns are dealy weapons, but are they ever used to take down prey? Seems like similar weapons are used for similar purposes. Veloceraptor most likely WAS carnivorous, but is every one sure they used their kicks in predation? Don't convergent weapon have convergent use?

[Kittywhiskers1000]

Pretty brave going in the enclosure with them. If you're working at a zoo in my country and go into a Cassowarys enclosure you will be sacked on the spot.

[Obzy666]

turn your head, grab its neck and fucking squeeze, its a god damn bird

[slayerofstuff]

@Obzy666 That slices your belly open with one swipe of it's feet. This ain't no KFC.

[vsboy25]

@Obzy666 its a bird with razor blade feet.

[ThexDogclan]

@Obzy666 fucking american you dont know shit about australia shut the fuck up. worry about your 9-11

business

[Obzy666]

@ThexDogclan LOL call me stupid, call me ignorant. but never call me a fucking american. go fuck a wallaby ya dumb ocker

[Snauzer67]

@Obzy666 Stupid american

[sonbuhitsunei]

@Snauzer67 Let's not be arrogant about what country we live in, shall we? It only makes the person spouting off about the other country look like an idiot, and fosters animosity between people in two nations that have no reason to hate one another. Being an American does not make one stupid- it's simply where you are born- it's not as if you have a choice in the matter. I have nothing against Aussies- in fact, I think it's an awesome country...but they have just as many idiots as any other place

[radarphaser]

Goddamnit, Cassowaries make guard dogs look like bitches.

[LOLNiGGAYoMAMALOL]

Holy,

thats a big bird lol

[dallasgambit]

rapter

[Bjowolf2]

Birds ARE dinosaurs - here is the proof :-)

And this is just one of the herbivores LOL

[volcom999999999]

RANDOM TOURIST: Watch this hunny, i'll fight this big bird with my pitch fork that I coincidentally carry with me.

GUY IN PURPLE SHORT SHORTS: WTF!! *hops fence and beats the Cassowary with a random stick* Stupid tourists..

[BrianLee476]

Aww it turns out he was just protecting his girlfriend in the end.

[ld0ne]

thats not a bird.. thats amy winehouse

[echosplash]

@ld0ne ROFL XDXDXDXDXDXD

[armandin2048]

@ld0ne lol

[Pokeneb]

Where's Chuck Norris when you need him?

ROUNDHOUSE KICK

[badgame589]

Cassowary used close-combat

It's super effective!

[yousillysillybilly]

Cassowarys are australias hippo, they may be vegetarians and they may LOOK harmless BUT they are actually EXTREMELY territorial and protective of there mates, you'd have more chance surviving a dingo attack than an attack from a cassowary

[fleshtheworld]

If i was attacked by a tiger or lion or ogre i would not be that scared, but being attacked by an ugly retarded scary looking bird, man, i think id be petrified. Hell watching it looks scary as hell.

[C172Pilotdude]

It would be cool if they were much bigger and carnivorous. 14Ft tall evil blue turkeys.

[5ivespeed]

i ran when a goose chased me, i would be so fucking scared, i would have jumped the fence into a lion enclosure if it was the only exit

[elenavlada]

deadliest birds on the planet... kills people in australia

[amnistic45]

I observe that any bird that cannot fly, is big and fast is obnoxious. Reminds me of that bloody tallstrider in WoW that kept killing me.

[FirstPersonOnUtube]

@amnistic45 dude...the ornery plainstriders are teh worst

[fourtywpm]

Boy this bird looks like he's from straight out of the jurassic period lol

[jeffcmpunkbatista1]

LOLLINGTONS.

[Dorameooon]

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAA Thats what happen when you disturb animals.

FREEDOM TO THE WILD LIFE!

[TempleOfSin]

I want to know what the hell that guy was doing over there in the first place.

Damn tourists.

[SpendMaDoughOnNoHo]

loooooooooool got owned by chicken ! loooool

[zoe2020]

i think this bird gets a bad wrap. i was 3 feet from one in the bush in mission beach and it had babies following it. it just walked on by with the babes and paid me no attention. it was a beautiful sight. it didn't take it's eyes off me, but i just kept walking backwards to give it plenty of room and it peacefully cruised on by. don't provoke the wildlife and the wildlife won't feel like they have to defend themselves against you. pretty simple really.

[2bsom1]

no ones ever been disemboweled by 1 one of these

[jimoz41]

tehy don't "pack hunt" mate

[shadowseraph78]

@jimoz41 he/she's quoting "Jurassic Park"

[kennygross311]

SHOOT HER!!!

[TheChristChris]

That's not very scary.. More like a six-foot Turkey!

[1DARBY1]

how hard would it be to punch/slap that bird in the face

[simoncuming41]

Just pick it up from behind and give it a big cuddle. They would run a mile.

[shawill29]

watchu expect that is the most deadliest bird in the whole world

[Snauzer67]

What a wuss. Lol

[thefanaticx]

Hey.. he looked like Steve Erwin..

[sugreev2001]

Nasty bird

[terps108]

"they should all be destroyed" - robert muldoon

[TheT4xid3rmist]

@terps108 Even Nedry knew better than to mess with the cassowary fences.

[NTBS]

ahahahahaaaaa

[TheMarksmissing]

that was one of the funniest things ive ever seen

[lichen24moss]

Just like Jurassic Park.

[Karmkane]

"you are alive when they start to eat you. So you know... try to show a little respect."

They're vegetarian. Try to show a little respect for the facts.

[rezZZzz]

@Karmkane its a quote from Jurassic Park, changing "velociraptor" with "Cassowary". DUH

[2cannn]

I thought they never existed. Or at least I thought they were different

[PeekaPeep]

The modern-day velociraptor. They didn't become extinct, just grew feathers and a beak-lol. Seriously though, you don't wanna fuck around with these birds. They're truly lethal when provoked.

[acidangelster]

God damn.I had never even heard of this bird until yesterday,read a lot about it and yeah all of the infamous things i read bout this big bully are true.

Fuck man......this bird s like ten bruce lee s who re high on mushrooms attacking u with daggers.When god made them he was not fooling around,thats for sure.

[Fuzzyballz101]

Oh and sorry DoktorAlanGrant, these birds are not hunters. Not unless you count fruit and vegetation as prey.

[Fuzzyballz101]

You don't need to annoy them, they are territorial. Their territory in the wild can be up to a 6 or 7 kilometre radius. They see you as a threat just being in their space. Mind you if yo really want to try and piss them off go hard. Just bare in mind they are a hell of alot faster than you, and have a mean streak wider than your grandmas britches!

[willbraham]

I'd sure like to take on that big gay giant turkey with a samurai sword and show it what a real weapon is.

Otherwise fucked that thing I'm not getting anywhere near it.

[Mast3rChi3f117]

Clever girl

[rocksoliddude1]

as long as you dont make it angry it wont attack, the stupid fat pig

[restlessr84]

@rocksoliddude1

Exactly.

I've seen a cassowary before at the San Francisco zoo. He was behind a fence, came up to me, stared at me and then walked away. Don't make them feel threatened and you shouldn't have a problem.

[pigger11]

@restlessr84 let me get this right. Based on the fact you saw a cassowary in a zoo you're giving other people advice on how to approach you.

[rasmusgirl7]

haha he deserved it because he annoyed it

[KEITHRICHARDSFAN101]

OMG FUCK THESE ADS

[philochko]

LOL!! I LOVE THIS SHIT

[zeon1]

@philochko wonder If u would love it had it happened to u

[NaruNaruChan26]

I saw one of those yesterday, scared the shit outta me XD

[EffluviumBoy]

That is one lucky mofo...

[carzorthade]

Clever girl...

[SparkamusPryme]

That's not very scary. More like a six-foot Turkey.

[surfaap]

With a couple of 5 inch daggers on each foot...

[LongReach]

cassowary's can break your skull/ribs with a single kick.

[DoktorAlanGrant]

Try to imagine yourself in Australia. You get your first look at this "six foot turkey" as you enter a clearing. He moves lightly, bobbing his head. And you keep still because you think that maybe his visual acuity is based on movement like T-Rex - he'll lose you if you don't move. But no, not the Cassowary. You stare at him, and he just stares right back. And that's when the attack comes. Not from the front, but from the side.

[DoktorAlanGrant]

...Because Cassowary's are a pack hunter, you see, he uses coordinated attack patterns and he is out in force today. And he slashes at you with this... a six-inch retractable claw, like a razor, on the the middle toe. He doesn't bother to bite your jugular like a lion, say... no no. He slashes at you here... or here... or maybe across the belly, spilling your intestines. The point is... you are alive when they start to eat you. So you know... try to show a little respect.

[gragrn]

That's pretty close to the truth LOL!

[siriddler]

Jurrasic Park

[poodicen]

you fuckn retard they eat fruit you dumb shit not meat you dumbfuck.

[SparkamusPryme]

@poodicen Never saw Jurrasic Park i guess?

Here's a hint: He mentioned a T-REX! Do you think he was being serious?

[poodicen]

i think you've got somthing stuck up your ass

[gnarkillkicksass]

Hahaha had a good laugh over that! Very true though. Emus are bigger and don't worry me but fuck Cassowarys.

[szpopho]

@DoktorAlanGrant Clearly you got your facts wrong since they dont hunt or eat meat... they are territorial birds... and see any one in a 5 km radius as a threat to their land... try to show a little bit of knowledge

[TheT4xid3rmist]

@szpopho I guess you've never seen Jurassic Park?

[murilovsilva]

@szpopho Try to show a little bit of humour.

[EverydayMeow]

@DoktorAlanGrant smart ass their main diet is fruit!

[shikaichi]

@DoktorAlanGrant There's only one documented case of a death caused by the attack of a Cassowary. Also, they don't slash, like it is stated on the comment, those claws are not capable of doing so, at most they leave a nasty puncture (which can of course be lethal, but still very rare). Furthermore, pack hunter? Are you kidding? These birds are mostly frugivorous, occasionally some vertebrates and invertebrates, but mostly they prefer fruit. Please, stop misinforming, do some research.

[peachflan]

@shikaichi Actually they can slash. Look at the "Killer Cassowary Bird Attacks" video around the 3.10 mark.

And you're not getting the joke, he's quoting Jurassic Park. They remind me of velociraptors too.

[shikaichi]

@peachflan Yeah, I got the joke, I missed stating that, sorry. And I've seen the vid you talk about. Still, there's no evidence of a slashing wound made by a Cassowary. They are vicious birds, but when I speak about the slash, I'm talking about the whole disembowelment myth around this creature. Hope this clears it up.

[cateyes221981]

@shikaichi go play with one if they are not deadly birds then you stupid redneck i hope it slices ur throat

[peachflan]

@DoktorAlanGrant I. Love. You.

[kazarezang]

@DoktorAlanGrant that last line is from jurassic park...

[rawrxrawr1324]

@DoktorAlanGrant they dont eat humans...

[bleepbleepblah]

@DoktorAlanGrant lol jarassic park

[MrINFERNITYKeizer]

@DoktorAlanGrant

I was going to say that but you did it better. XD

[lanimu808]

@DoktorAlanGrant LOL epic.

[sh3a493]

@DoktorAlanGrant Cassowaries are vegetarians.

[boOmbOno]

@sh3a493 he is just making fun lol xD they watch too much Jurassic Park :P

[DoktorAlanGrant]

@sh3a493 Brontosauruses are vegetarians. And I should know. I had one eat out of my hand!

[smilefromthestreets7]

@DoktorAlanGrant

so much win

[TheHavx]

@DoktorAlanGrant cassowaries are herbivores so they wouldnt eat you

[TheHavx]

@DoktorAlanGrant cassowaries are herbivores so they wouldnt eat you

[DoktorAlanGrant]

@TheHavx Do you think if your vegan friends were turned into zombies, that they would refrain from eating you?

I'm not saying that cassowaries are zombies. I'm merely strongly suggesting that they are.

[fallfromgrave]

@DoktorAlanGrant I will smack down this stupid chicken and eat it with a french fries :)

[DoktorAlanGrant]

@fallfromgrave Raptors is good eats.

[xXx5nip3rKiDxXx]

@DoktorAlanGrant why are you alive?

[DoktorAlanGrant]

@xXx5nip3rKiDxXx I'd hardly call the state that I'm in currently "alive"

[MsSpring14]

@DoktorAlanGrant lol You make this bird sound like a Velociraptor.

[TheT4xid3rmist]

@DoktorAlanGrant You left out "from the other two cassowary, you didn't even know were there."

[WolfInExile]

@DoktorAlanGrant ".... clever girl-" *sounds of man being mauled by raptor*

[100raechelle]

@DoktorAlanGrant I hope you are just having a go at people here! Pack hunters? Eat your intestines? they are solitary animals that have only "attacked" in self defense or protecting their young...and mainly because they have become accustomed to stupid humans that feed them.

[ElvisLivesUpstairs]

@DoktorAlanGrant lol Jurassic park, haha I ain;t seen that film in about 15 years

[332904]

not that easy at all.... animals are strong enough to seriously hurt ppl... .

a "ñandu"  fought with me year ago...danm... they ve got too danm strong legs....more than it looks like . . .

[SparkamusPryme]

Clever girl...

[11thraven]

lmao

[SaitohYatate]

Pretty vicious animal. As expected from the world's dangerous bird.

[spunkypom95]

lol go bird XD these guys r soooo creepy AVOID THE WILD ONES, THEY HURT :(

[TheCreator4]

Hahahaha, that little kid running away at the end XD

[Weedleweeb]

big dude with a tennis racket cant fend off a bird

[f100kls]

look at 8 seconds, the guy in the blue hat. did he jump the fence or walk thru it??? if he jumped it he must have springs in his legs!

[bbadmike]

LOL i see that, seems like he walked through it, just appeared on the other side...

[whatev1415]

He was already on the other side of the fence. The fence was just really thin so it looked like he walked through it.

[kniferegime]

man that is one angy bird. a friend of mine from australia had a nasty encounter with one of these guys, said it was the scariest thing thats ever happened to him. and from the looks of it, i can see why. damn thats a big mean bird

[Manson4Lyfe]

im from australia, and in grade 7 our class was chased by one of them on a school camp o_o

and yes quite a obscure feeling knowing that these birds kill people :s

everybody is laughing (i did to) but man fuck that those birds have razor sharp talons that they swipe at you in a dowards motion, basically gashing your stomach open :S and all your insides fall out

but seriously, fuck that lol

[MJDsignTV]

lololol looking like steve

[Fizzyskull]

Okay, this is info for anyone thinking he is a dumbarse... It's not a smart idea, but this bloke is a zoo keeper, and the rake is to keep it at bay. All the zookeepers who enter the enclosure of the cassowary MUST have one. It's odd, yes, but if you are strong, it can keep a single bird at bay. Simply hold the rake around neck/chest hieght, so whenever it jumps at you, either pecking or kicking, you are kept a fair distance away. This blokes problem is he wasn't strong enough.

[parkourperson28]

they should have stun guns, the ones that shoot wires out

[dc4t]

@parkourperson28

a taser?

[parkourperson28]

yeah that lol, i forgot the name thats all

[cateyes221981]

@Fizzyskull go play with them in the wild while u carry a rake then stupid loser i hope it rips ur face off

[Fizzyskull]

@cateyes221981 What fucking dipshit would go play with them in the wild?

I'm just saying it's the most effective and cheap way to keep them away without harming them.

Why am I suddenly a loser for explaining why the zoo keeper holds a rake?

And go learn to use punctuation, it helps in life.

[luckyfucker93]

is he supposed to be a professional? lol

[MrBloodyknee]

what the hell was that idiot doing behind that fence poking it with a rake. Probly a stupid tourist

[MrMadUtdMan]

alfred hitchcock is back

lol

[InitialDirt]

thats not a bird you idoits.. its obviously a guy dressed in one.

[daknight44]

Umm... just making sure

ARE YOU JOKING!? XD if it was would that guy look like he shyt his pants?
