what a cute ostrich -last words of a dead tourist
Just asking do you know guinness world records have named that the most dangerouse bird in the world
I'm pretty sure he knew. He was making fun of tourists who don't really know what it is.
It is a Cassowary
he was being sarcastic, Captain Obvious.
Phantom Gaming And Tutorial it's a PENGUIN!!!
This bird is deadly don't fuck with it !!!
This bird have letal kicks, more stronger than Boyka.
greninja hayate Boyka Boyka Boyka!!!!
10 years ago mate
probably it is this human fear that prompts the bird to attack
suppose if YOU, the Human charges at it like a beserker, the cassowary will be very frightened.
Or if you are trained at karate, just charge at it and give this bird bastard a flying roundhouse kick to its head
Not if your mind and body is trained like KRAVEN the hunter from Spiderman comics. That bastard fights with wild animals
As an Australian, I had a heart attack watching this person being so unaware they are next to the deadliest bird in the world! People should look into the dangerous animals in the areas where they are traveling because this could have gone terribly wrong.
no. read a book
he actually did the right thing. kept eye contact and backed off slowly but he should have held something out in front of him too, maybe his towel.
@@Ow33e the only thing usful to hold in front of you would be a huge fruit basket. Drop it, then go away.
Only because they could kill a person doesn't mean they would. A cow could kill a person any time they'd want to but typically they won't.
@@TheHesseJames not a bad idea but I spent like two nights watching cassowary encounters and reading about how to deal with cassowaries (don't ask me why)
‘They can do some damage’
‘Yeah they can’
*walks closer to cassowary*
Lol 😂😂😂
I am Australian. This video made my stomach turn over.
scubawerlum I'm not Australian, but I was waiting for the inevitable. I've heard about these birds
scubawerlum mine to n I live in the USA I'm scared to death of birds
I was scared for the guy too bro. I thought he was done for for sure.
The cassowary is a behemoth of the bird world (second-heaviest, behind the ostritch). They can grow to over six and a half feet tall, weigh well over 100 pounds, and gallop around at speeds of over thirty miles per hour - an impressive feat for a creature with legs that might best be described as "death-cudgels with knives attached." The middle toe on each one features a dagger-like claw that can grow up to five-inches long.
@@greg77389 you must think dinosaurs are lizards. Birds and velociraptors are pretty closely related actually lmfao!
Even if I couldn't hear their accents I would be able to tell that these people aren't Australian.
You put a Cassowary that close to an Australian and they will run for their lives.
+chazzatheninja what about the guys who make a living trapping crocodiles?

+Nicol Olivia Good Answer mate. But sadly i'm terrified of them.
+Nicol Olivia Good Answer mate. But sadly i'm terrified of them.
+chazzatheninja if you run he is attacking you. those birds see you turning your back on him as getting the advantage and go for it. so no you dont run from those. he did the best he could. slowly getting distance, towards the water, not be threatening but also not be frightened. both could lead to an attack
I admire that man's composure. He manages to not show fear but without looking too threatening, tries to walk away without it seeming like he's trying to escape. These wattled horrors may look funny but they are deadly.
LOL. His composure was simply the result of his ignorance. Pretty sure that guy had never heard of cassowaries before
They aren't horrors, they're animals. Yes, they are deadly but they aren't monsters, they are simply territorial. They should be respected and given space. Humans push into the territories of other creatures and then complain when said creature reacts instinctively to what it perceives as a home invasion.
Yeaaaa, he approached the situation as Chris Pratt did on Jurassic world....
@@RomanesEuntDomus. what should he do? Run away? He definitely knows cassowaries, the very fact he never turned his back on it shows it.

I would have cried. I work with captive cassowaries daily and they are terrifying through a fence so I can't even imagine this kind of encounter.
Why do you work with them if you are so scarred? I know how a captive casssowary can behave, but it's only because it is "captive" and scarred. They have a very peaceful side as well. I feel sorry for you and for the animals who you take care of.

@@Randoverse 2019
@@PaleoEdits Was that the imprisoned one or a wild one?
@@PaleoEdits Ya, captivity doesn't count in my eyes.
@@Randoverse I think so. Regardless, it's still a powerful animal to be respected.
Just watched a documentary on these, and believe me, you NEVER approach one, and you never run away, they track and flank like velociraptors, very crafty in a confrontation. They are extremely rare. Those feet do a deadly spearing front kick, that will go straight into you! They're not cute, they are often offensive, and will chase you down, especially if you run! They are modern dinosaurs.
Of course they' aren't cute, they are territorial wild animals that must be given space and treated with the proper respect. Still, gorgeous animal. A modern day dinosaur for sure.
They look like a Corythosaurus.
They're cute.
During 1967 near Cairns, a cassowary chased down and attacked two girls riding along a road on a motorbike. I was only 10 at the time so I don't remember the full details of the outcome but it was a front page.headline the next day. I was holidaying there for a few weeks with my parents. I myself was bitten by the savage Green Tree Ants while leaning casually against a tree and also smacked hard in the temple by a giant flying beetle, a Rhinocerois Beetle I think. Having to go to the toilet at the caravan park ablutions block at night was an actual nightmare. I had to pick my way through a carpet of giant cane toads leaping and flopping all around me. I could see them launching in my circle of torchlight and hear their weight flopping as they landed on the wet soil around me in the dark croaking their protests. I am very happy for the glorious and amazing, very necessary, rain forest to exist in the world and desperately want it to be saved and not fail under the pressure of population, climate change and commercialism...but...it is not my favourite dwelling environment. It has too many sneaky, scary and/or painful, living moving parts to it for my comfort zone.
@@chookinathunderstorm3446 you poor thing. I can relate. I've been bitten by bull ants, had a brown snake inside my vacuum cleaner and another in the cutlery drawer, been chased around the loungeroom by an angry black snake and had many standoffs with funnel web spiders in the kitchen sink.
And I lived in Sydney in the 60"s & 70's.
This cassowary seemed unusually chill
He was curious ...
If that dude start running from it he whould be dead ..

@@EdjeMr1975 at the very least...cut wide open

The dude is unusually chill.
Damn, you were lucky! Not only to see a cassowary in the wild, but also that no one got hurt. That cassowary seemed more territorial than curious.
When I was little I used to pet these birds. Now I'm learning just how deadly they really are. I appreciate how chill my uncle's friend raised them to be.
where do your uncle get the bird
@@wanrqu5045 from child African soldiers in sierra leone
how to tf have you pet such an animal without attack?
your uncle didn't raise anything, you can't raise wild animals and their instict, you got lucky and your uncle was irresponsable, would be charged with murder
@@tomb.2224 some people do raise them to be semi-domesticated, I would just get an emu though instead of trusting a cassowary
Cassowary be like: U WOT M8
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.
Well that's a fcuking stupid reason! Dumb bird!

greg77389 still as dangerous in real life
+Jeremy Mansbach
Wrong.
greg77389 when it's in the world record for most dangerous bird.
They re dangerous in the game for a reason
That lady in the beginning sounds so enthusiastic like this is some magical event.
She’ll invite the cassowary to play with her husband just to film it.
" ooooh, ahhhhh, that's how it always starts. Then there's running...and..screaming".......
That dude on the beach looked at one of Nature's executioners in the eye. Now, THAT is scary. Cassowaries are very dangerous, as well as unpredictable.
Do you even know what an executioner does? There are two general definitions: One deals with carrying out a plan or order while the other deals with the punishment of death of a condemned person. If we adapt the 2nd definition, we could say to execute someone is to put someone down or kill someone who is already destined for death or "screwed." Indeed that's the only way this bird can effectively use its weapons to kill--if its target is already wounded or on the ground. If a healthy, able-bodied man were to fight one of these things head on, the man would most likely win.
@@greg77389 go show us all your theories greg. in real time. Im waiting ⏰

I would say that executioner is the wrong word, though. More like nature's gangster thug. ^_^ Come complete with a switchblade on each foot, ready to stab and slice just because you dissed him.
Birds are in general, it's just that most birds aren't large enough or equipped to kill.
That's impressive. If I were that close to a cassowary, given their reputation, I would shit myself.
Except reacting in a fearful manner is the worst thing to do around such a deadly creature.
@@etinarcadiaego7424 yeah if you get scared they sense it...you gotta try to stay calm i suppose...not easy to do though
Who’s here from the guy that was killed in Florida?
Brian Deeb MEEE BROOO
Brian Deeb
You shouldn't toy with these bird's.
They are quite striking, but never get close to them because they are very dangerous.
They are related to the Dinosaur the Raptor, their attack method is very similar.
They are very proficient at attacking repeatedly & will easily kill you.
I'm surprised they are legal as pet's, how could someone in Florida have gotten one?
They use that massive claw on their feet to slice away at you.
Best view them from your car or house.
The guy from Florida fell and got clawed to death, what would have happened if the man in this video had tripped and fell on the beach?
I
Other reasons why you should carry a samurai sword
Just so we're clear, these guys are EXTREMELY lucky to come off unscratched
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 ;)
Wow
Good job you stayed calm so the bird did
ah yes turn your back to it, brilliant
***** and allow it to isolate you from the group and push you towards the water, where it can swim faster than you can.
+Thurnis Haley Not everyone knows what they are doing
+Thurnis Haley Especially as the cassowary was exhibiting territorial behaviour toward the man. That cassowary was threatening him. :|
Thurnis Haley it'll gut him anyway
All these kids in the comments saying this guy got lucky or that the bird let him live.. bitch please. At the end of the day, these things know not to fuck with humans. There was only one of it and the guy it was stalking maintained eye contact and kept facing it so the bird never had an opportunity to strike. These things aren't the cold-blooded killing machines they used to be, they're just big birds with talons. They're nothing like the raptors which actually had arms to claw you with and a mouth like an alligator's, or a tail to whip you with.
Cassowary to man:
- "I want you to swim"
- "but.. i c..can't sw.."
- " *SWIM* "
To those comparing the cassowary to velociraptor, I should remind you that velociraptor was about the size of a turkey. I’d be much more afraid of a cassowary (4 times bigger).
A velociraptor was the size of a car. What are you talking about?
Velociraptors was indeed the size of a turkey. What you see in movies (jurassic park) those are not velociraptors, they are more like Deinonychus, but they decided to use the name "velociraptor" because it was a cooler name :)
@@robertmchapman30 nah the velociraptors in jurassic park were actually Utahraptors. Velociraptor just sounds better.
@@robertmchapman30 Do you know how biology works? Velocitaptors were small. Don't think hollywoodian movies accurate. The T. Rex had feathers in real life, they were not lizard like in the movies.
@@victuz I couldn't care less
Wow that's incredible. You guys did well to keep calm and avoid being attacked. Your heart must have been going like the clappers mate!
Brave or stupid? I'd have headed straight for the sea.
@@hamishcarrodus1564 they can swim
You guys were very lucky! Lucky in a sense that no one was injured and you got to see a wild one so up close. The coloration is gorgeous!
For all the crocodile hunters in the comments section saying these people are stupid I have a news flash for you, the last thing you do to a predator fronting on you is turn around and run away or freak out, the did exactly the right thing they stood their ground they remained calm and they respected the birds personal space
This guy luckily made everything right. He backed off slowly without turning away, even if it wasn't intentional
I think the guy did everything for the most part right personally. I don't see him as trying to approach the Cassowary, but rather the Cassowary approached him.. The guy didn't run and turn his back which would have possibly triggered an attack.
As for the Cassowary, it wasn't hissing, or snarling, or showing any of the behaviors associated with territoriality or aggression, but rather, curiosity. I firmly doubt the Cassowary was interested in harming him. so much so, that he might have been able to get away with just standing there motionless [covering his stomach and throat] till it left.
Having said all that, this is the most dangerous, unpredictable, aggressive bird on the planet here and anything can happen. I think the only thing he did wrong was be in a position where the Cassowary was within easy arms reach. I'd have maintained at least 200m clearance personally.
***** they can swim too.
Ratel3000 I particularly appreciate the "covering his stomach and throat" bit haha
+LivingCorpseX Yeah, faster than us. So, I think it was intentionally leading him to the ocean.
+Ratel3000 The cassowary was absolutely approaching him. With a threatening posture. Backing up while facing it was exactly the right thing to do - however, every time the cassowary backed off, he stopped. He should have *continued* to back away after the cassowary stopped approaching him.
The way that the bird raised itself up and arched its head is a territorial threat display, telling the man to back away. That is a prelude to more aggressive behaviour. Coupled with the sporadic preening the cassowary engaged in, it's a sign of a tense, anxious bird who wants the human to back the fuck up and give it space.
Please don't forget that posture plays a huge part in determining bird behaviours.
Fair enough. Keep in mind he shouldn't have let himself get that close to him in the first place.
hi Susan, i know, it was really incredible to have had such an encounter. one thing that people dont realize when they see the video is that the cassowary came from out of nowwhere, and was exploring, so it wasnt the cas' territory, thats prob why not agressive; if you run away or make sudden moves the bird will be even more curious and follow you and maybe attack, when i said something towards the end, the bird lost interest immediately, so just makes me wonder why was so curious about me...
The cassowary isn't out right aggressive. Just confidently curious and dominant. The self occupied preening at times is a gesture of allaying fear. The kick gesture in the second episode is only half hearted reminder of dominance. Overall this potentially lethal bird is cool and seeking a margin of interaction.
Yea it seems like that. So whats the best strategy with them? Standing, facing towards them and slowly going Backwards?
Stand sideways to a cassowary, never face-on to one.
He was a irritated because the stupid human was following him and the guy told him to go with the others and he wasn’t listening. The bird clearly saw him turn his back to him and so he went for it glad heartedly. The man should’ve put his WHOLE front to him… what idiots
@@georgehunter2813hahahah NO! you walk backwards slowly.
@@katelynnsoard6870 Your talking about how to withdraw in general. When within striking range the lower belly, throat, and neck must be safeguarded from a cassowary leg kick. Turning sideways to the bird reduces vulnerability immediately.
1:06 my wig is snatched and my heart was beating like the speed of light! This was just terrifying and nerve wracking
That type of bird has killed people in before and you can't out run them lol. That was foolish and dangerous and I'm glad it didn't kill one of you. Life isn't a game... seriously
Why would you want to run from it anyway? It's hardly a threat unless your back is turned.
Greg has three of these in his backyard
I don't think they approached it on purpose. It obviously came up to them out of curiosity. What are you supposed to do in that situation? They all acted carefully and tried their hardest not to make any sudden movements. The guy with the camera even told the guy next to the cassowary to regroup with everyone else that was probably behind the camera. The only reason the guy next to the cassowary hadn't already done so was probably because the cassowary was repeatedly approaching him, and was somewhat standing in between him and the others.
@@april5054 don't compare these birds to human it may appear from a han perspective to be curious but in fact it was being territorial and basically trying to get rid of anybody near it it goes up to humans and if u turn your back to it it'll attack you cuz they take that as a sign of weakness and if ur threatening same thing so best thing u can do is look at it and slowly back away or climb a tree if u can
Only 2 people ever lol and one of them tried to kill the bird
"I can't believe I'm out of film."
I would be thinking "crap, where is that riot-shield again?"
It’s amazing we are able to witness a prehistoric creature like this in our time, walking in the flesh on a beach. It looks surreal. Must be protected. Hope this bird is still alive.

Unfortunately in Australia the Cassowary is on the endangered list with only 1200 left in the wild due to the increase of feral pigs in the rainforest which destroys it natural habitat and also dog attacks.
That Cassowary clearly didn't think it was worth the time of attacking. 0_0
Animals don't care about time, it's the threat of what it was facing that mattered. A Cassowary would only attack a human if it felt cornered or if it thought the human was weak. We're bigger and stronger than these birds and so they rely on sneaky tactics like waiting until we turn our backs before striking. Otherwise it knows it's too risky to attack and will eventually leave.

For all you ornithologist claiming that this bird such a fearsome mankiller, why don't you do a little research. For one, the last reported death from a cassowary was in 1926, and that was a the death of a boy who was trying to club the bird; the boy fell to the ground and was kicked in the neck, puncturing a major blood vessel, where he ultimately bled out and died. The bird did not decapitate him with one swift kick. So one recorded death in 90 years does not make the bird a notorious "man-killer". Yeah, given the right circumstances, a kick from the bird could kill you, but so could a kick from a dairy cow or a pony in a petting zoo. The kick from the bird may cause puncture wounds or lacerations, but it is not going to slice a person like a surgeons scalpel.
Other than the death in 1926, cite the other events where a person was killed by a cassowary or for that matter disemboweled by the bird; I'm not talking about rumor or folklore tales, but actual accounts from reputable sources of attacks by this bird that lead to the death of a human.
+Grace Weilbacher
Finally someone rational in the comments!
+I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know know know
Yeah and I COULD disembowel you with my keychain, but that doesn't mean you're ever going to give me the opportunity to do so. It's pointless to come up with all these worst-case hypothetical scenarios of what can kill you because literally ANYTHING can kill you under the right circumstances. What matters is probability and the actual physics involved in a situation. An able-bodied man isn't just going to lie on the ground and give the bird and easy target to strike at. There's going to be a struggle, and overall the man has a much greater chance of killing or fending off the bird than the bird has of killing the man.
So go give it a big, wet kiss on the beak.

A little dinosaur 🙌 🙌 Thank you for capturing the video from further away!
The guy was oblivious that the blue and white towel over his shoulder made him look like a Cassowary.
this scene looks so prehistoric!!! beautiful bird
God they were lucky. Those things are living dinosaurs, and they have been known to kill people just for making eye contact for too long. This one must have been calm and/or not felt threatened just yet. It's not out of the ordinary for animals to just be curious, but most of the time territorial instinct will take over and this would have played out like a scene from Jurassic Park
It wasn't calm it kept stalking the guy it wanted to attack just waiting for the right moments,specially when you turn your back on one
The last recorded death from a Cassowary was 1926 and that was in self defence of itself
Clever girl
No, you're supposed to maintain eye contact because the bird knows it will get fucked up if it attacks you head on. Humans are more of a threat to them than they are to us and they know it. Even without a weapon we can still kill one with our bare hands, whereas all the bird has is its talons.
You stare that thing down and let it know you aren't weak and you're not afraid to fight. Only the strong and the cunning survive in nature and animals know this better than anyone, it's in their instincts.
No it's not "luck", these birds are low threat to humans, and stating they're dinosaurs is pointless because so is every other bird species. There are plenty of videos of humans getting close to these things and no one ever got hurt or died to them. Birds are the only known surviving dinosaurs and they are no longer apex predators.
Someone: "Looks like it can do some damage."
Camera guy: "Yeah, they can."
Also camera guy: Voluntarily goes closer to film it.
I think the colours of his towel made the cassowary thinking perhaps he was another type of weird male cassowary looking for a confrontation.
Wow this is crazy considering how dangerous these birds can get if provoked. I'd be scared out of my mind
pussy.
And reacting fearfully would have caused the bird to attack. Control your emotions if you wish to survive.
He is just lucky he didn't decide to run...
As someone who has a profound love of dinosaurs, I have an innate respect for them and their descendants.
This one in particular should always- ALWAYS- be respected like a king. Stay the hell your distance and observe from afar. This thing will disembowel you like a deinonychus just for kicks.
But hey... natural selection and laws of nature right?
Yep. Helps to weed out those with feeble minds...
But dromeosaurids only used their sickle claw to puncture or climb trees
Pigeons are as close to dinosaurs as these are its just that they have a long sharp claw and are territorial
if cassowaries were aggresive towards humans it wouldn't be in that beach in the first place. Because we would've killed 90% of them. Thankfully for them, they are peaceful
by looking at the behavior of this particular bird- pretty sure we can conclude dromys did the same thing. if somethings not broke, dont fix it. @@AborshionMaster
Real life Far Cry
This is a dinosaur so save it by an means necessary. I don't care what needs to die for this to be saved, but save it.
Maybe it was venturing outside of it's habitat. That could explain why the bird wasn't the least bit upset, because they are "territorial". It makes me wonder if that applies to everywhere they go or just where they live.
Even a cassowary knows better than to tangle with a hoopy frood.
I watched one bird video a few days ago and now my recommendations are amazing
Birds are awesome ❤
Well played to this man he handled the situation as Chris Pratt did on Jurassic world....

They aren't. Birds are avian dinosaurs.

Cassowary: "Listen, I'm in a good mood today, but don't push your luck."
People with Parkinson's shouldn't have cameras.
why not? would you rather have shaky video of bigfoot/ufos or no video at all?
Amazing video and very thrilling as I know how powerful and bad tempered these beautiful birds can be - It's a good thing you didn't turn your back on it!

Stupidity kills. Cassowary too. It's important you never mix the two.

+oneRarePP More aggressively territorial than vicious, but yes.
If they attack. They have an inside sickle claw 4 inches long that can puncture you or disembowel you. They are extremely aggressive and their territories span 7 kilometres so that guy was in grave danger.

Came face-to-face with one of these at an animal sanctuary years ago, and the look of menace it had was unforgettable. I just knew that thing wanted to kill me, and would've done in a heartbeat if I were on the other side of the fence.
Truly fearsome creatures!
It’s amazing that these tourists have no idea the danger that they’re in
The fact that a wild animal approaches you to inspect you instead of trying to avoid you shows that he does know he can deal with you easily.
that is dangerous Cassowary's can do some serous damage
All birds are technically dinosaurs, but cassowaries aren't even trying to hide it.
You won't catch me going anywhere near any tropical bloody rainforest!
Don't worry, Cassowaries only live in Australia and New Zealand.
WHO THE FUCK IS FILMING THIS! Michael J Fox?
At the end there that looked to me to be false preening, which is what birds often do just prior to attacking like this Sandhill Crane www.whatbird.com/forum/index.php?/gallery/image/5335-False-Preening/ What happened after the end of the video?
yes, is really hard to tell... what people dont understand is that he appear from out of nowwhere, it gave no time to be away from the bird. The bird was interested in me like a minute before film started... then as soon as I said something, it lost interest, after the video finished, he just carried on looking for food. what people believe is that the beach is not their territory, therefore is not defensive... beautiful bird.
raulposse I, although, believe he was seeing you as a prey in those moments. He was probably looking how musculous you are and if an attack will be dangerous for him.
But beautiful animal anyway.

Cassowarys eat fruit, bugs & small invertebrates. It wouldn't be seeing them as prey, but if they see you as a threat they have no problem disembowelling you with their inner spiked toe!
melly kidd Totally agreed.
Birds are actually dinosaurs in case you weren't aware. You could technically call this animal an herbivorous dinosaur. It represents the crests, colors, scales and size many herbivorous dinosaurs were during their reign.
It's similar to corythosaurus
Slept in the cape with a bunch of friends for 3 nights. What an experience it was
I would've shit my fucking pants.
Charming language. Sophisticate type, aren't you ?
@@k.avilla8061 yeah I’m sure you’re a real genius seeing how you can’t even spell sophisticated correctly lol
@@Shamoo281. Always begin a sentence with capital letter. Aways end a sentence with a full stop. 2. Learn grammar and punctuation, including use of commas in a sentence.3. Buy some bleach and wash the filthy language out of your mouth. 4. Use that bleach to clean the s*** from your F***ing pants after you've washed your mouth out. 5. Try not to use infantile terms, like 'lol'. 6. Become a civilised human before you die.
This is how natural selection usually works. Consider yourself VERY lucky that bird didn't fuck either of you up.
I once did a painting of a cassowary and it really spooked my adult brother!😂
The Cassowary is like.."Get your ass outta here while yoh still got a intestines "
@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! :)
🙄
This guys either really knows what he's doing or he's just reckless. Good vid!
This is how Jurassic Park treats feel in real life 😱😭🏞️
Dude doesn't realize that cassowaries are basically modern velociraptors. That thing coulda opened him up like a burrito.
