Henry a dangerous cassowary

[ferretyluv]

"Dangerous cassowary" is redundant.

[WrestlingMachine9999]

Can you Tame a Cassowary by bringing it up from a baby chick?

[lilyayora]

@WrestlingMachine9999

Yes that's possible, but they will remain pretty territorial and you would have to clip it's nails and be pretty carefull concerning the headbutts, but in general they are pretty easy to tame. This is forbidden though, since the species is endangered.

[TheSydh2o]

@WrestlingMachine9999 can you really tame a human? when they grew up don't they even sometimes doesnt listen to their parent and act wild?

[Darthbelal]

We've got to preserve these birds, they're too unique for us to cause their extinction. Also, I wish that zookeeper would NOT stick his finger through the fence, he's just asking for trouble doing that.

[zubery]

can he tell those idiots talking in the back ground to SHUT UP?

[sonbuhitsunei]

@Goethewrote Uh...that bird you speak of? That bird is a known killer of humans- if it kicks you- and it will if given a chance, it has a claw like a velociraptor...and it can spill your intestines with one swift move. You might not be afraid of them, but I guarantee you, one will f#ck you up if you think you can waltz up to it and stick your tongue out.

[sonbuhitsunei]

Cassowarie is thinking: "Yeah, mate, just you try an' get in here...I'll show ya for the wussy little primate you are!"

[javakogan]

They are so cool... Living dinosaurs...

[SpacemenFromSpace]

I fed one of these today by hand and with no fence but I must note that it was sick and not quite fully grown and it was still in incrediable and possibly stupid risk lol

[MattBaumann777]

They make very good house pets.

[eexecutionstylee]

If they are herbivores, what's the evolutionary purpose of those HUGE claws?

[Joaquin602001]

@eexecutionstylee - They're easier to paint.

[AndTheWorldSoared]

@eexecutionstylee Kicking things that attack them.

[Rman235]

@Goethewrote cool story bro, im actually canadian

[Rman235]

@Goethewrote hahahahahaha alright why dont you go up to one and attack it buddy and video tape it , and im the one that dosent belong to walk on this earth ? haha only a fucking idiot like you would say somthing like that cause all the smart people are SMART enough not to go near one, you know only since 2 people last year were killed by one last year in indoneisa , their stomach's were cut open from bieng kicked by their claws , why dont you man up go find one and try it if your so confident?

[Rman235]

@Goethewrote haha my mom must of kicked your ass then , and also if u think ur so confident why dont you go out in the wild and approach one, see what will happen and you might be featured on the darwin awards this year

[Rman235]

@Goethewrote lmfao i'd love to see you try bro, their claws on their feet will slice your stomach clean open if they kick you, which they will , my advice fight it with a gun

[julia393n]

every video of a cassowary they are right up against the cage, territorial all right!

[Jordmate]

@julia393n Certainly gotta keep clear of these guys - they have attitude!

[Jordmate]

@noobxeffects Ouch that sounds like a scary life experience!

[Jordmate]

@cairns65 Well it certainly is like that in Queensland. But the rest of Aussie is cool too. Thanks for watching

[milkwasabadchoice131]

he mentioned cassowary 'prey' at the end hahahaha, i dont think that they are hunters hahaha

[Jordmate]

@milkwasabadchoice131 Yes I suppose you're right. I couldn't imagine them hunting you. They are mostly territorial.

[milkwasabadchoice131]

@Jordmate yeah im from NSW, do biology n shit at uni, most of what he says is true, cassowarys are crazy hahaha, pretty violent.... for a bird

[vsboy25]

the only safe place to view them is behind a fence, because they want to split anything open with there razor feet.

[Jordmate]

@vsboy25 I agree, they're the kind of birds you keep your distance from. I agree incredibly sharp feet!

[Jordmate]

@AlienDecendants Very true .... it's a good idea to remain friends with them.

[gonoyaro]

they don't seem like 2m to me -.-

[Jordmate]

@gonoyaro Well this must be a small one ;)

[Ivansvideocollection]

I have never even heard of a cassowary before. Very interesting. Thanks for the share! Best Wishes! :)

[Jordmate]

Yea - I didn't know of how dangerous they were until I visited there last year with my family.

[FobSquat07]

wtf i thought he's gonna get pecked

[Jordmate]

Well I'm sure he was happy to have the fence between him.

[purplefacedmonkey]

I've been there and seen Henry too! It was back in April 2008, I went through on the Oz bus tour. I was very impressed with the park, their croc feeding was far better than the one I saw at Australia Zoo.

I can't wait get back to Oz, hopefully I'll have enough money to head back in 2011.

[Jordmate]

Sorry I missed your visit.  Hey when you are down south in Australia remember to look me up and I'll show ya round!

[THEANIMEPERV]

ive herd about thess birds on the croc hunter diarys back when steve irwin was still alive and runing the show.

[Jordmate]

Yea he was a cool dude Steve. We miss him.

[punkjoes]

what language is this? seriously.

[Jordmate]

He is speaking English, and obviously in a Northern Queensland accent

[Otacon144]

English. Jagoff.

[Jordmate]

Yes Neal I think you're right!

[PeteAJo]

Very dangerous bird - I don't think I've heard about those birds before!

[Jordmate]

[TommyBoyKN]
