Wild Cassowary Chases Girl on the Beach

- If you encounter a wild cassowary you have to 1. Look him in the eyes 2. Back away and 3. Hold something in front of you.
Luckily for us the thing in our hand was a GoPro so when a wild cassowary charged over we caught it on film.

Fortunately, this bird seemed to be more in curious mode than aggressive mode.
If it was in aggressive mode there would be a video of two dead people
@@demonfromunderyourbed4580 😂
If she ran it could've been worse
Cassorwaries usually attack when they feel cornered or in danger. Here I think the bird was indeed curious and ddint see them as a threat at the moment
@@starscreamofvos Well technically we actually are on top of the food chain in most places of the world. Also, we are actually true omnivores, eating both plant and meat material on a regular basis. We have the guts and incisor teeth to handle meat, as well as gut and molar teeth to handle decent amount of plant materials. Humans are top predators for much of the ecosystems we occupy around the world. Doesn’t mean we’re not in danger of animals below us in the food chain and same goes for other carnivorous animals. For example, cape buffalo and other prey game kill animals like lions sometimes. There’s also competitive predation, where a carnivore may prey upon a competitor carnivore.
Think about this: If it were a lie that we are on top of the food chain, would we really be as dominant of a species on this world as we are now?

What a perfect setup, a beach surrounded by thick forest and the way the bird comes out of the bush, it looked like a dinosaur. It felt like they were on a Jurrasic Park island.

It is a dinosaur. All birds are a species of dinosaur.

It is a dinosaur (avian dinosaur), it’s in the same group as raptors like velociraptor or utahraptor. And it’s never forgotten that.
The way that bird came running gave off a major velociraptor vibe.
It ran like it was tryna get her number or sum, but from a far it looks like a person jogging
Well....they are related.
Modern birds descended from a group of two-legged dinosaurs known as theropods, whose members include the towering Tyrannosaurus rex and the smaller velociraptors.

That bird looks prehistoric, right out of the dinosaur age.
The birds of today are pretty much dinosaurs 😂 the oldest known bird fossils have been estimated at 150 million years old. They are descended from theropods, the same group of dinosaurs that Tyrannosaurus rex belonged to. Thank god we only have to deal with their smaller cousins today!

We went to an animal park back when I was young. My parent left me unsupervised and I wandered off to the birds section. I stumbled on this animal and was super excited to see it was not in a cage so I went to it and pet it. Everything was a blur the moment I heard some people shouting to me to get away and a man grabbed me. Next thing I knew they were checking and asking if I got 'ouchies' anywhere. The bird apparently got out. All I can remember though is that the cassowary was just standing there patiently while my hand pet all over it. The cassowary was actually taller than me. I'll never forget that experience. Beautiful bird.

Cassowaries are actually much more similar to Oviraptors.
Cassowary handlers have to use shields just to prevent themselves getting disembowled by those claws.

They're also vegetarians, but yes, I agree. If ever there was a modern-day example of an old-school theropod, the cassowary is definitely it.

Cassowaries are dangerous
They can claw you to death by kicking
Just climb on it and put it down and cant do shit
Unless you have predatory raptor bird reflexes which I doubt most of you do, you won't be throwing this bird on the ground any time soon, they have very fast kicks and they always aim for tender bits
@Lalrivunga Hnamte this is a bird with claws as long and as sharp as knives known for their very fast kicks and reflexes, they also have quill feathers and a claw on each wing arm, even if you did grab it, it is by no means defenseless, secondly did you just ask how it knew where your tender bits are? The same way a horse knows to aim for your head or stomach dumbass, they fight off predators and go for the exact same spots, they don't change strategies just because you're a human, a cassowary's main defence much like a Velociraptor is to kick and rend and bite if the kick is not enough, on top of that, they are almost never alone, being very social like most birds, while you have your hands full with one, its mate will rush up and attack you or others of its kind in the same area
@Lalrivunga Hnamte oh well my bad I thought you were serious about it, lol well this bird isn't in aggressive mode so he would be pretty slow but when they get mad they can run up to 30 mph very quickly and leap to heights of 7 feet and yes they do group up! Much like ostriches, rheas and emus, you'll usually see an entire flock running or grouped up in an area, they only get super aggressive during nesting season or when threatened but are generally very timid but inquisitive birds, they can attack really fast though much like their ancestors could! And their beak hurts way less than the killing claw on their middle toe, they have feet much like velociraptors and a good slice with it can disembowl you much like once again the raptor family of dinosaurs
@Lalrivunga Hnamte yes they leap up and slash with their claws outstretched, and other cassowaries were likely in the undergrowth, they are forest dwelling birds as for height, they get around 7 feet tall at adulthood, roughly 6.5 feet, it kicks much like a roo does just without the tail for balance and higher in the air and of course killer talons
You can tell somebody feeds this bird. Totally thought the girl was holding out food in her hand.
And just like with wolves feeding them is totally irresponsible and could get people killed.
Sovereign but they hare the deadliest bird in the world, just look at their claws
@The GhostHero
Ostriches killed more people (due to higher exposure) also the deadliest birds are probably some birds that easily spread diseases. But Cassowaries obviously can fuck a person up.
Again of all the 150 people attacked only one person, who was chasing the damn bird down with a club, was ever killed. Sliced to pieces lol

Cassowarys aren't usually aggressive so first you have to keep that in mind. Territorial? Yes. What she was doing by backing slowly allowing the go pro to be the center of curiosity was probably the best move. As soon as you get past a certain range the bird would most likely back off and walk away. The running may shock you but it was only out of curiosity of the go pro. Good news was the cassowary wasn't making any rumbling or any other kind of noise which was the first really good sign

No visual hostility, inquisitive head tilting, light pecking at the camera. Now had the girl run, it would have been game on. But this bird was clearly not threatened, just wanted to get the camera.
They're lucky he was just curious, those birds are known to kill people
theres literally only been one death by one of these things and only 150 attacks
@@cg4633 They're still very dangerous.
@@cg4633 One kick from the bird would’ve killed her where she stood. This bird ain’t no joke, those feet are three knives on a stick.
@@cg4633 this bird could easily rip your guts out without even trying
@@Eel_man right but how common is that?
It's funny because it's a dangerous bird.
Also, this cassowary didn't seem too aggressive, it might be because it was more curious than anything else, but also because the people weren't escalating the situation by panicking like morons...
Sudden moves and this video could be on another platform
It was definitely territorial, that low pitch bass sound isn't bad audio or a suspenseful tone, that's what a territorial Cassowary actually sounds like in person. Its barely audible by human ears, but you can feel it Lol
Not territorial behavior at all. It obviously has been fed by humans. If you notice she was sticking the camera out similarly to how one does with food. It even tried to take a few bites.
Meanwhile dude in a background picking up stone and a stick 😂
This is a little cassowary too. Imagine if it had been one of the six-foot ones.
That is literally a dinosaur wtf

A day on the beach, nice & sunny, then a Dinosaur comes out to peck at your camera.
imagine youre chilling at the beach and all of the sudden a fucking dinosaur starts chasing you

Not just that, but one of two animals that even Steve Irwin didn't fuck with.
Never happened to noone, because they never existed.

She was safe the whole time!! The cameraman never dies
You’ve just never been to the other side of the internet. I’ve seen some fucked up shit happen to the cameramen. One being a bear attack of which the camera was recovered alongside the body of the camera user. You couldn’t see much but the screaming and sloshing/crunching sounds still haunts me.

Serves you right for being on the same planet as a Cassowary. Some people are so irresponsible...
Thanks, Elon Musk.
Bro grab that neck and snap it in half or just punch it in the face once and the birds skull is crushed... Or just kick it's knee and break its leg... Or just kick it in the body and break its wings and bones... Birds have very, very, very fragile bones you can literally snap an Ostrich neck in half with your hands and this shitty bird is 10x smaller than an ostrich... But I guess some people are too big pussies to hurt or kill an animal in order to DEFEND THEMSELVES!
What?? Are you in love with him?
@@supermaniac5 ???
Cassowary is offended you would appear within 20 miles of it’s breathing space. Cassowary says fuck off mate.
honestly seemed pretty dang friendly for a cassowary
You could tell by that heart warming expression on its face 🙂
Hats off to her for staying calm. Those things kicks are strong enough to disembowel. Plus she’s lucky he seemed more curious than aggressive
Edit: Let it be known that even *STEVE IRWIN* didn’t fuck with these modern day Raptors
The only dinosaur that looks like its ancestors somewhat... minus the obvious evolutionary changes.
That's a she not a he. Actually
@@vandalsavage6743 shut up. actually
@@vandalsavage6743 uh, pretty sure its male lol. Only suttle differences but females are generally larger and have a taller casque and longer wattle. The super short wattle also shows its young but seems too slim to be female.
@@rogerwilson53 what about crocs?
She handled it like a pro, would've thought she'd done this before.
But why didn’t she back into the water. Surely the bird would’ve ended its pursuit. And if it still hung around, she be in a great spot to observe it with no fear.
Like a go-pro :)
@@_just_looking_thank_you Don't know if you noticed, but the water was quite far from the trees.
@@lesliesmith6718 but she kept walking parallel to the waterline. Also, towards the end we can see that the beach was narrower where the encounter began-less wide that the distance she’d covered.
She was more worried about getting it on video than getting to safety. What a moron
Every other cassowary I’ve seen: foolish mortals, you shall die!
This cassowary: whoa these are weird birds, where are their beaks and feathers?
The dinosaur heritage stands out so clearly!
Birds are not "ancestors of dinosaurs". Darwinian evolution is pure bs!

@@NostyFripples chill dude
@NostyFripples Lol you're an absolute loser huh? Ya toxic lonely fat white man
She stayed impressively calm
A man once made eye contact with a gorilla. When it charged, he didn't flinch, thus the fear effect for the gorilla didn't work and it stopped short of attacking him. I'm assuming the same principle applies here with this bird, a bird whose closely related to the terror bird of old. I mean, just look at it. She didnt freak out or turned around or ran away when he charged. So he slowed his pace cause he too was being careful of the woman holding the camera.
Person: I wonder what a Utahraptor attack would be like
Cassowary: I can help with that
Lmao
Velociraptor is freaking small I think all it could to is give you scars.
Lol he just does bird bites XD.
Velociraptor can't do anything it is almost as small as a Arch
Yeah that why they hunted in packs
Most dangerous flightless bird RIGHT HERE.
These things are no joke I'm surprised how tame and friendly this one is ..
I love how its figuring out if that thing she's holding is edible or not.
They aren't bad tempered but if they have chicks they will savagely defend them. This one doesn't have chicks and seems more curious than outwardly aggressive.
Less... tame and friendly, more... confident and curious!
It was just on vacation at the beach having a good time
yeah definitely a curious one
He's just curious lol but 1:03 if I seen that coming at me I would probably think its all over
I think it wanted to eat her camera. It probably thought she was trying to give it to him
Gotta be careful around these damn things, they can disembowel you hith their toes.
SAME!
😂😂😂
Love that near the end the bird just stops and looks out to the ocean like ‘oh jeez, this is a nice beach! Forget those guys, this is a top spot!’
“Ah, I love the waves at this time of day. So magnificent. The clouds off in the distance, just lovely… hey, where’d the visitors go?”
Two deaths have been reported from this bird. You should know how dangerous these things are
Exactly ! Cassowaries kill humans. They stand 5 ft tall, jump up and kick forward using their dagger like inner toe claw to rip the victim open ...just like a can opener.

Hehe that's a good one! Btw im a subbed fan! :D
I don’t think the Cassowary was being territorial or aggressive just curious at what the woman was holding.
Oh man it's crazy how fast it covered that distance at 1:00 as it was just barely jogging. That's probably what a dinosaur running at you might have looked like.
Birds ARE technically dinosaurs so this is definitely a dinosaur running at her.
@@Pikamarmot I’m not that impressed. They lack balance and seem to very easily swayed and toppled over
@@VashTheDamnFiend ok
@@VashTheDamnFiend they only have two legs, and most birds can fly anyway, that is one of the rarest accomplishments on the planet other than living in the deepest part of the ocean
Most dinosaurs had feathers so they would look like this bird when running, except for longer arms sticking out.
“Chase” is a bit of a strong word. “Stalk” is more like it.
Pursued
Even the most deadly creatures can be just plain curious.
Remember this scene from Jurassic Park: Lost World?
Exactly what I was thinking of, even the beach is similar looking

ua-cam.com/video/wtbcaWnybzs/v-deo.html ..
Interestingly I'd say this bird is more similar to an ornithomimid, which is a dinosaur people typically assume to be nothing more than a prey animal and harmless. Look at any film depicting one, they'll never be depicted in a particularly menacing way, even toward humans.
I feel cassowaries put into perspective that those dinosaurs were more dangerous than they're given credit for...
I believe most wouldn't bother hunting a human, though. A lot of them didn't even have teeth and thus couldn't eat you to begin with.
@@catpoke9557-Dude cassowary's are extremely dangerous & they do kill humans if they feel threatened...their talons will shred you plus they have that horn. If you see one get your ass up a tree or find something to use as a shield.
@@T-roc57 Yeah that's my point. They're terrifying. Which shows that dinosaurs like ornithomimids, which cassowaries are extremely similar to, are a lot deadlier than movies give them credit for.
@@catpoke9557 Jup. Movies seem to have forgotten that not all birds that aren't able to fly act like African ostriches.
Considering this bird is a descendant of dinosaurs, what woudn't make you think Dinosaurs, even the herbivores, were just as bad tempered?
Birds are not just the descendants of dinosaurs. Scientific consensus now largely concludes that birds quite literally *are* dinosaurs. The only surviving ones. Birds’ closest living relatives are CROCODILIANS.
Also, the reason cassowaries are so aggressive is the same reason geese have to be aggressive. Geese and cassowaries both nest on the ground, where their chicks and eggs are vulnerable. So they become mean to fend off predators. Cassowaries are doubly vulnerable because they can’t fly away to escape. They’re just doing what they need to do to survive a harsh environment. It’s not anything to do with their lineage, as the aggression in non-avian dinosaurs is often largely dramatized. The dinosaurs were likely a lot more mild-mannered than we typically envision them to be.
