Fun fact they usually can't kill you that easly as people make it out to be. The only deaths that occured by them where by people falling down on the ground before them. So as long as you don't fall, you pretty much are save. But of course don't push your luck.

Michael Crichton will do a century in purgatory for intentionally confusing Velociraptor with Deinonychus because the former's name was vastly more cool to put in a book. He simply couldn't bring himself to use such a derpy name. A velociraptor was the size of a medium turkey or a large wood grouse. They were no more intelligent than a turkey or a wood grouse, but were predators and were dangerous when emboldened by large groups. Deinonychus was the 5-foot tall 100-lb killer dino you saw in Jurassic Park. It wasn't any more intelligent than the velociraptors but given the size and the obvious predatory abilities (teeth & claws) it would have posed roughly the same physical challenge for a human as was portrayed dramatically in Jurassic Park (with the exception of silly science fiction like opening doors). Each of these were winged, flightless and 100% covered in feathers so that they would have been basically indistinguishable from a bird at first glance.
Nah, if he felt like that, he'd rip right through the cage and express that to the nearest passersby. He's simply happy to get free food and baths and stuff, while the silly bald apes outside his house cater to him.
Me: "People always say these guys are the closest we have to modern-day dinosaurs, but I don't see it. Cassowaries just look like big turkeys to me." Cassowary: *Excited Cassowary noises* Me: "...Okay, I kinda see it now."
As someone who has been very lucky to have had cassowaries (yes 2 at the same time) walk up to me in the wild (well the backyardof my grandparents pro which just opened up to the rainforest with no fences) and peck at me, I can assure you once you have a look at the talons on their feet you will have no doubt about the dinosaur thing. I was fucking terrified. But I probably had nothing to worry about they were just curious
@@pinkfloppyass well there have only been 2 documented deaths but those two deaths we have 2 very helpful tips 1 don't fuck with cassowaries 2 if you decide to fuck with them, don't fall down.
These modern dinosaurs can spill your guts with a single swipe of their talons! I’m glad there’s a fence between the cameraman and that overgrown chicken!
I don't know about spill your guts, but cassowaries can certainly kill you. Once an Australian kid messed with a cassowary, and it kicked him the neck and severed his jugular and he died.

You only have to hear this to know that bird can and would happily disembowel you without hesitation. For anyone who doesn't know already, these birds are terrifying AND deadly.
Cassowaries only attack if they feel threatened. Just because they *can* disembowel a person doesn't mean they'll always do it if given half the chance. They're terrifying and deadly, but nowhere near as erratic as hippos, which kill hundreds of people per year.
@@nikiTricoteuseI'm Australian and it's correct. They are very dangerous but not generally aggressive towards humans, unless you give them a reason to be. Cassowaries are very curious and people often mistake that for aggression. They cal still kill you with a single kick though, or pierce your heart with the boney plate on their head.
@@janemba42 Cool. Thanks janemba. For some reason l thought they WERE aggressive. Prolly cos, most of the wildlife in Australia does seem to want to kill you. That could just be cos, l'm a kiwi and were not used to it though. 😁

Fun fact: These birds can make a territorial rumbling call can be heard at 30 Hz, the lowest call made by any bird, so low we can barely hear it.
