I am scared just watching this video,see those great big feet? they are only used for two things,digging holes in the forest floor and tearing shit out of anything or anybody it wants to.
Those people are fucking NUTS!! These birds are one of the most dangerous animals in the World! where a bunch of idiots entertaining the idea of taunting it!
They have been known to disembowel humans! Some people!
I love how someone said that he should have just turned away and left.Well,cassowary would take that as an advantage and probably would kill you brutally.
@DJUnionX I doubt it. The bird would have no reason to attack because of something as nonthreatening as a human turning and moving away, and therefore probably wouldn't. Still, I wouldn't turn my fucking back on it, no way. Guy in the video did the right thing imo by staying calm and observant.
@KyleBlues1 these fellas kill humans, dont believe me? come to my lovely country and go hug one. I sur as heck would wanna stay in a crock infested river than be with one of these. Oh and dont bother running.. they can reach up to 50km speeds.
From what I have read about them, he is very lucky this bird didn't mess him up bad. Your not supposed to turn away from them or run so that was smart. But he sure should have moved a whole lot faster to get away from it. If he knew about this bird and did this he is a real moron. 1 swipe and he could have lost half his face.
hmm before few minutes I didn't even know that these birds exist and I read a jurnal in the news about these birds and I thougt it's some comedy or something xD but now as I see it it really looks pretty dangerous! How can he kill? With his claws or that hat on his head xD? Anyways - very nice video man!
The whole reason the cassowary was going after your friend was because he was wearing the same colors AS the cassowary. The bird is looking at your friend as a potential threat to his territory and a bigger male. So he's challenging him. I am very happy that you all were safe though.
You were so lucky ! An unbleivable experince I bet but this Cassowary could have near killed you, amazing animals, I think you did the right thing but still could have grouped up as soon as you saw it.
@NewkyMetal incredible! before the footage began, the cassowary was chasing me at least another minute, and we were in a group just laying on the beach, and for some reason it was interested in me... i seriously coudnt do anything else but walk slowly expecting the worse... unbelievable encounter, i try to think back how things develop, and i cant remember...
@raulposse The blue t-shirt with a red stripe and dark shorts you were wearing closely match the colouring of the cassowary (blue neck skin, red wattle, dark body feathers). It no doubt thought you were a rival or a potential mate - either scenario could have ended messily...
@AkatsukiPR0 is tht the only comeback u have. o no i wrote "ur" instead of "you're" on the internet. sry tht i actually have a life and don't spend all day making a comment for a retarded video.
@AkatsukiPR0 wow u just don't get it. if i was calling some retarded for spelling something wrong then i would be in the wrong,but i wasn't... just because i its easier to write "ur" than "you're" doesn't mean i cant call someone stupid when they're clearly clueless tht if the cassowary got pissed or scared it could rip their hearts out
@amax7895 This proves how you don't have a fuckin idea how dangerous a cassowary can be. This bird would tear apart that guy in second. Seriously, it's like you would say, oh look, that t-rex is so curious and doesn't afraid at all ! ;)
Cassowaries are dangerous and they know it. This bird was clearly bullying y'all. Lol. He's like: "I can make these fuckers walk into the ocean, check it out"
i see a cassowary at least once a week, they dont just come up and kill u, iv been reading past comments and laughed at what people have been saying about them
Some fantastic & mature wildlife video shooting, this one.. I was waiting to see if he would run or make fast actions.. lucky both did not happen. Close encounter, indeed
Never run away, once you run you become the pray. These people did the right thing, the guy backing up was backing up a little to fast though, very lucky and very good footage.
Wow - that's an awesome experience. Those birds are beautiful and deadly. It's a good thing you guys knew not to run because then you would have had a BIG problem. Thanks for sharing this.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Call me ingorant, but why do I see more white people playing with potentially dangerous birds then anyone. I mean these people on this video think they can play and be all nice to a creature like this. Yes, you want to be nice but I believe you should leave the bird alone and go your way. Just take pictures far away and respect the animals space. Don't go up to it and start playing becaue if he gets annoyed he will attack. STUPID PEOPLE!
@starletdempsy no body is playing... if you are at the beach and a creature like this appears right behind you, if you try to run away it will get you, we all tried to stay calm... it eventually left quite calmly, no harassment towards the bird, and no injuries... thats why we all left unharmed, not even the bird...
@raulposse good thing you got out alive! this is a great video, i understand your fear. if i encounter something that can and might kick my guts out, i'd back away slowly two
Who is the majority of people who swim with sharks, sleeps with wolves, have sex and own animals that may hurt them? I'm just curious on why I see more whites doing crazy things like that then anyone. Its fasinating to me. There has got to be a scientific reason for this matter. Can you explain.....
Because you make a special note whenever you see/hear of a white person doing this? How am I supposed to know? You're the one making the totally arbitrary connection. Also I've never been to Australia but AFAIK, the vast majority of the population there are caucasian. I'm assuming you know what math is, whether or not you've ever used it.
@starletdempsy And what do you see happening in the video? People acting calmly, responsibly and with full respect towards a very dangerous creature that approached THEM, not the other way round. Now take your foot out of your mouth, you look ridiculous.
@MoogieSRO After doing many research over this animal and people, I came to an conclusion that the cassowary bird is a extremely territorial creature. There are many territorial animals in the world, but this creature is on the aggressive bully side. Meaning after you cross them , they still will come after you. They can be mean but are a beauty to observe (just at a far distance). Sorry I said white people because obviously the bird was the fault not the people. God bless and have a good week.
@starletdempsy That was very mature of you to admit the mistake and I'm so glad to hear that you took the extra time to research and understand what was being shown here. Much respect to you, friend! :)
@starletdempsy Well if you keep typing "white person gets killed by animal" you tend to get white people being killed by animals. Done and done. You have been pwned.
TenStarsplus !!! What a beautiful video!!! It's a good thing we don't have them up here in the USA because I think there would be a lot of human fatalities because people would try to confront them!!! Thank you so much for sharing this video!!!! This is one Yank who would have enough sense not to molest that beautiful but dangerous bird!!!!!
i dont know if the guy in this is aussie or pommy but he handle this situation very very well. so many ppl scare the bird and end up gettin into all sorts of a barney
I'm no expert on cassowaries but I'll bet that the bird was responding to the red triangle and blue background on that one guys shorts, and seeing it as territorial competition. Its a good thing that the shorts were below the eye level of the bird at all times (that it, good job it wans't a shirt like that) and they did things like step backwards slowly, because that bird definitely looked like it was deciding wheather to make an agressive move.
They are no more deadly than our snakes or crocs or sharks or spiders.
We cant be running scared from deadly animals here, because if we did that, then there would be no-where in Australia that we can go. So we have to just face things like this in Australia.
I hear just about every thing in Australia can kill in some way or other. Snakes, spiders, tiny venomous octopuses, deadly jellyfishes and giant hungry lizards and flightless angry Dinosaur birds. I still want to go visit someday.
Apparently people say that the way you deal with a Cassowary encounter is you lift your arms in the air to look larger and back away from it. Whatever. I'm just jealous of you guys!
Thanks for your comment, I agree, very beautiful last shot... It was really frightening, I could hear my heart on my throat beating hard, in the moment I said "this is the scariest moment I've had" which is when the bird reacted and turned around, I was laughing but I was really nervous but in awe at the same time... I guess that he/she was curious, just browsing not feeling threatened... thanks for your link ;)
Watching those guys makes you think and wonder if this is what the theropod dinosaurs would have moved like- I look at their feet moving and I think 'watching a dromaeosaurid would have been very similar...but far more frightening in person'. Seriously... were that one of it's ancient ancestors...something tells me people would be RUNNING, not backing way lol serrated teeth and clawed hands and feet tend to have that effect.

We cant be running scared from deadly animals here, because if we did that, then there would be no-where in Australia that we can go. So we have to just face things like this in Australia.

I hear just about every thing in Australia can kill in some way or other. Snakes, spiders, tiny venomous octopuses, deadly jellyfishes and giant hungry lizards and flightless angry Dinosaur birds. I still want to go visit someday.

They may be beautiful, but they're also highly aggressive, territorial, and short-tempered, right?
Maybe they just caught the bird in a good mood or something?

Apparently people say that the way you deal with a Cassowary encounter is you lift your arms in the air to look larger and back away from it. Whatever. I'm just jealous of you guys!

You are lucky no one startled it or it would have torn a big hole in your guts.
Only one little fright and it would have turned from a big chicken into the Freddy Kruger bird style

While I say the bloke probably should backed off a tad quicker, he made the right decision in not turning his back to it.
Worst thing you could do.
Devlishly smart buggers they are, they'll take that opportunity if you're in their territory... which they rarely leave in the first place.

This is such a great video.
Every second I was sure the outcome would turn tragic, but everyone remained calm and so did the bird.
No other vidoe shows the beauty of these birds so well.
thanks for sharing.

Thanks for your comment, I agree, very beautiful last shot... It was really frightening, I could hear my heart on my throat beating hard, in the moment I said "this is the scariest moment I've had" which is when the bird reacted and turned around, I was laughing but I was really nervous but in awe at the same time... I guess that he/she was curious, just browsing not feeling threatened... thanks for your link ;)

You're lucky for it to be so calm and trusting AND close to you. They very quickly turn into one of the most violent animals on the planet.

Watching those guys makes you think and wonder if this is what the theropod dinosaurs would have moved like- I look at their feet moving and I think 'watching a dromaeosaurid would have been very similar...but far more frightening in person'. Seriously... were that one of it's ancient ancestors...something tells me people would be RUNNING, not backing way lol serrated teeth and clawed hands and feet tend to have that effect.
