Cassowary at Jungle Island

I've always had a semi-fear of birds. Now it is full on. This bird is a giant dinosaur bird that is only happy when kicking someone to death.

Wow, I thought my college jobs sucked. I hope this guy has a good life insurance policy. Trained, right.

somewhere out there, on some island, a mad scientist is shaving a cassowary and dressing it in a velociraptor suit to guard his volcano lair.

i really need an island.

You Americans shouldn't be f**king with these things, not even here in Australia do we use them in shows like this, they aren't even kept in most zoo's. They are left alone in the wild and are respected, for a good reason from a distance.

Prostitution is illegal but this guys job isnt?

@zubery Females are actually considered more aggressive.

@beatensenseless902 You are incorrect. Even in captivity they can kill you. A couple of years ago TWO trainers in a zoo was killed by the same one at the same time! Both disemboweled.

Just because it's considered "trained" it still doesn't mean it won't snap into it's natural territorial mode and kill the chuckling idiot. They are very unpredictable.

I bet he won't be laughing and making jokes about Cassowarys if it kicked it's bowel in LOL

[javakogan]

This is a really brave guy to work this close to a cassowary...

I was waiting for the the bird to stick its beak through the guys neck and see a horror scene but no, instead we learned about dinosaurs.
