At Cape Tribulation North QLD Australia, we were having a relaxed day, when from the rainforest... Brady Roberts, my "pommie" friend had the digital photo cam with video, and captured this incredible moment, a very big fright... No one got injured in any way... Very curious animal

  • You guys were so fucking stupid. These things can fucking kill you.

  • @pear928 what would you have done, if one appears from out of nowhere? you've seen one?

  • You stupid people! RUN!

  • @samisyosam if you run, it gets you!

  • 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...

  • Raul que envidia

  • Yeah, you guys were sure lucky you didn't get disembowelled. "Get your camera" , pfft, more like "Get your chainmail"

  • Shy jungle bird my arse xD

  • imagine if cassowarys could fly

  • lol jump into sea xD

  • @samisyosam You can't outrun them. They run about 30 mph. Plus, if you retreat, that makes them think they have an edge over you.

  • You camera has poor HDR.

  • The camera man has Parkinson's disease.

  • LOL I REMEMBER LOONEY TUNES ALIENS BIRDS
