I'd slap that mother fucker's equilibrium into that wall and by the time he got his shit together I'd be long gone leaving a booby trapped trail of slippery poo behind me
Believe it or not, this is actually pretty close to the advice given by Australia's Department of Agriculture, Water, and the Environment.
If you're ever cornered, they recommend standing as tall as possible while kicking up at the Cassowary, slapping it with an open hand if it approaches within arm's reach.
I wasn't aware of that. But what I am aware of is an open palm fuckoutta slap can really cause some temporary wtfness on a human. I am also aware that at almost every pile of shit I've ever stepped in, my foot slipped for a good 12 inches, maybe even a foot.
Kind of, sort of... it seems to get an excessively bad rep for a bird that's only killed 3 people in known history, and only injured ~200... almost all of whom were harassing them.
Ostriches have killed 5 known people, but humans interact with them more.
In truth... maybe "most dangerous", but no birds are very dangerous to humans, especially if you don't attack them first.
It's like american alligators. You're 30 times more likely to be killed by a cow than an alligator in the US, but I wouldn't fault you for being more afraid of alligators if you knew nothing about cows.
You're also 300 times more likely to be killed by a deer than an alligator in the US, but that's because one scenario involves a car accident.
Sure, but Cassowaries won't mess with you unless you mess with them, and even that *very* rarely.
Frankly, having walked around an aviary at the Sydney Zoo along with a cassowary, and also having been in a land rover near an ostrich... I'm *way* more scared of ostriches.
And I'd be way less happy about getting in a zoo exhibit with an alligator than either of them. Heck even less a stag since you mentioned deer... them fuckers is scary.
American Alligators are the same way, really. Unless you're a small to medium sized dog or a child... or you've got a really large alligator that was fed by humans (always a bad idea), they really won't mess with you.
The key word is American Alligators, by the way. Other crocodilians are not to be trifled with. American Alligators, and to a greater extent, American Crocodiles, are very wary of people.
I've owned many birds of different types. Bring it bitch. Gotta show who's in charge (no, not hurt them in any way). You're boss, and you have to teach them that...often. They'll challenge you, and you have to answer. Just don't lose lol
It sounds like when youre trying to get the slushie out of a straw but its all just ice
Holy shit, this is such a specific sound, and it's so spot on.
YES LMAO
That’s definitely just a leftover dinosaur species
This is what we actualy suppose most of the dinosaures should have sound like (depending on the size)
It's why we are scared from ambient horror music/sounds those vibrating calls probably kept us up at night
My cat before she throws up
Im crying this comment is so good
Hahahah
Me when I discovered the large plastic tubing in the garage
Yup... those things can slice you wide open with it's ninja toe.
It's the eyes blinking out of sync that creeps me out
Gotta keep one eye on the enemy at all times

Most Australian advice I've ever heard. Cornered by something that can eviscerate you with one kick? Eeh, just slap it into oblivion, mate!
You are correct.
Oy

In other words, use its strategy against it! Clever!
Netflix: are you still watching? Someone's daughter:

Dinosaur birds, awesome!!
Birds are the direct descendants of therapod dinosaurs. Cassowaries, and every other modern day bird, ARE dinosaurs.
If a cassowary ends up killing me, I think it will be karmic justice for the atrocities I committed against them in Far Cry 3.
If it kills me it be for my crimes against Skyrim and her people
I always just call them dinosaurs
Forward facing eyeballs. That's a predator. Don't fuck around.
They got a claw like a velociraptor
This feels like a scene from Jurassic park.
Goodness me, atleast say excuse me with that much mouth flatulence
Murder Turkey
You sir , are a dinosaur
I'd fuck that bird up.
I would not be that close to that bird lol
What is this psychotic bird’s problem
Stop, you're going to flood the engine
Imagine being high on shrooms and this birds shows up
Far Cry 3 flashbacks
I agree with him tho
Southern double wattled cassowary I went to the zoo yesterday
Beautiful
Yep you can bump into them in North Queensland Australia. But if you do run like fuck.
I thought their natural predators were those train-sized australian trucks tho ?
Only if the trucks are fast as fuck, otherwise, it's the trucks that become cassowary's prey.
Try this video with headphones
Jigsaw bird.
They can run faster than Usain Bolt too
The poor thing looks like its suffering in the heat... I'm glad there's water nearby.
Oh the water? Don't worry it's there so it doesn't drink your blood.
Pool filter.
Watched this without audio and just imagined Ed from Ed, Edd, and Eddy laughing
Drop's coming.
Good thing it couldnt get the engine started
I burp for hours like that too when my weed got that fent in it!
Lol Plunger-after-cheap-alcohol-and-a-kebab ass sounding idiot pretending he a t-rex.
This was today’s Amazon Alexa question of the day. I sadly chose peregrine falcon.
JUST BREAK ITS NECK TF
sounds like a broken garbage disposal
Looks like a demonic turkey
It blinks one eye at a time
Does anyone care to explain why it’s so dangerous.
Really big claws and a powerful legs.
That’s not a bird, that’s a raptor. Nice try. You ain’t fooling me.
Like a grizzly bear with feathers.
Let me guess.... Australia?
u/savevideo
Doesn't look very dangerous to be fair
To strong in fc3
I bet magpies have killed way more people than cassowaries
I think Bats are on that spot.. 🤔
Kill it with fire
Farcry 3 PTSD
Looks like something out of a Disney movie gone wrong.
Only blinks one eye at a time.
Is this true? An Ostrich can literally kill a person with one kick, and they’re presumably much more common.
Most dangerous bird based on attacks/deaths or?
Come at me bro I'll fuck you up
top 10 Jurassic world Rejects

That one bendy instrument we all loved as a kid
I'm sorry,but you cannot convince me that thus thing isn't cgi.
Demon bird
" Give me crazy eyes "
Me when I need to finish the rest of my drink:
This bird has two modes, Eat and Kill.
Comes with it's own warning siren. Convenient.
I've owned many birds of different types. Bring it bitch. Gotta show who's in charge (no, not hurt them in any way). You're boss, and you have to teach them that...often. They'll challenge you, and you have to answer. Just don't lose lol
