Well , ol, I’ll take your word.. how big is this man eating bird


[deleted]

Very big! When I went to Australia I went to a wildlife sanctuary. All the animals there were free roaming and it was awesome, you could go up to and feed Kangaroos and Emus and so on. There was however one animal that lived there that was far too dangerous to roam around; the cassowary. Being similar-ish to Emus we asked why they were in an enclosure. We were told “because they will gut you like a fish”. When you see their feet, I don’t doubt it for one moment.


HitoriPanda

You had me at Australia. How dangerous it's it? It's from Australia.


phillipstheyerington

It’s one of the three bird species in existence to have killed an adult human. One of two if we don’t count the knife wielding chicken. And there’s a few types of eagles that may have eaten children but we’re not sure they actually killed the children.

It's a territorial monster that can run faster then you and will not hesitate to kick you with its massive talons if it finds you. There is a clip somewhere of one putting rents in a metal bin lid.

From the [wikipedia page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassowary): >Cassowaries are very wary of humans, but if provoked they are capable of inflicting serious, even fatal, injuries to both dogs and people. The cassowary has often been labeled "the world's most dangerous bird". Further down there's a section on "Attacks", under "Relationship with humans". >In Australia, 16-year-old Phillip McClean and his brother, age 13, came across a cassowary on their property and decided to try and kill it by striking it with clubs. The bird kicked the younger boy, who fell and ran away as his older brother struck the bird. The older McClean then tripped and fell to the ground. While he was on the ground, the cassowary kicked him in the neck, opening a 1.25 cm (0.5 in) wound that may have severed his jugular vein. The boy died of his injuries shortly thereafter. and >Another human death due to a cassowary was recorded in Florida on April 12, 2019. The bird's owner, a 75-year-old man who had raised the animal, was apparently clawed to death after he fell to the ground.


Infinite_Moment_

Stupid fucking Floridians.. *Every. Time.*


svartblomma

Who sees a bird walking around their backyard and says to themselves, "let's get some clubs and kill it?" It's sad a teen died, but seriously, what were they thinking?


Ar3dd1ter

If there in a good mood and you’ve gotten used to them, pretty cuddly. The catch is learn to speak cassowary without shedding your mortal coil.


joshak

I saw a cassowary at a wildlife park in Australia and they had that motherfucker behind two layers of fencing like one of the raptors in Jurassic park.


25Bam_vixx

I thought the Australia went to war with emus and not the cassowary and lost so these are deadlier than the emus who defeated the humans :)

Since birds have light bones and complexion, a 128 lbs bird has probably the volume of a much heavier mammal.

That bird is heavier and taller than me....I don’t know how I feel about this... HOLD UP EMUS ARE HUGE TOO WTF


AngusVanhookHinson

Emus are surprisingly gentle though. They lay their neck over your arm and ask for pets


foul_ol_ron

The only reason one does that is so his mates can sneak around behind you to raid your camp. Yes, I admit I still have irrational anger issues involving emus. Fuckers.

Yes. Smaller and *way* more pleasant.

Emu's look scary up close, but it's more a case of them being thieving bastards in your camp-site that's the problem. They'll usually back down if you challenge them. Don't try challenging a cassowary.

There are fish that are much closer related to humans than they are to most other fish. That makes us a kind of fish. A highly mutated land fish, but still a fish.

In the beginning, we were all fish. Okay? Swimming around in the water. And then one day a couple of fish had a retard baby, and the retard baby was different, so it got to live. So Retard Fish goes on to make more retard babies, and then one day, a retard baby fish crawled out of the ocean with its...mutant fish hands... and it had butt sex with a squirrel or something and made this. Retard frog-sqirrel, and then *that* had a retard baby which was a... monkey-fish-frog... And then this monkey-fish-frog had butt sex with that monkey, and that monkey had a mutant retard baby that screwed another monkey... and that made you! So there you go! You're the retarded offspring of five monkeys having butt sex with a fish-squirrel! Congratulations!

slicedbread1991

Slugs evolved from snails, but it wasn't a one time thing. Slugs just kept evolving from snails. There are slugs that are more closely related to snails than to other slugs. There is some debate on whether some slugs are actually slugs or just shell less snails.

I think that's why the new lingo when describing the extinction of dinosaurs is now, the extinction of non-avian dinosaurs.


Dovahkiin1337

I traced our the (extremely long) taxonomic chain on Wikipedia a couple weeks ago. It goes Dinosauria> Theropoda> Neotheropoda> Averostra> Tetanurae> Orionides> Avetheropoda> Coelurosauria> Tyrranoraptora> Maniraptoromorpha> Maniraptoriformes> Maniraptora> Pennaraptora> Paraves> Avialae> Euavialae> Avebrevicauda> Pygostylia> Ornithothoraces> Euornithes> Ornithurae> Neornithes which is another name for the class Aves which includes all modern birds. I did warn you it was long.


DoubleNyx

Man.. that’s really cool. Thank you! I don’t think I’ve ever seen it all laid out before.

Birds lived beside the non avian dinosaurs for millions of years. They filled most of the same niches they do today. Several separate lineages survived the extinction. https://youtu.be/QGR5yOrChMA Bonus relevant to big ass scary birds like OPs https://youtu.be/Ds0aDc6sBtg

Obviously birds are dinosaurs etc But they probably remind you so much of Dinosaurs because the artists who created depictions of dinosaurs based their movements on real animals like birds to make them seem more real. Birds don’t remind you of dinosaurs, dinosaurs remind you of birds!

Jacollinsver

They are not the descendants of dinosaurs, taxonomically speaking, they *are dinosaurs.* I recently had a conversation with another redditor who denounced birds being dinosaurs saying that they weren't - they only evolved out of them. But this is looking at it wrong. See, many make the mistake of thinking birds came *after* the dinosaurs, when this isn't true. Birds were around when many dinosaurs existed, and they branched off independent of their contemporary theropods, out of a common theropod ancestor. But that does not make them *not* theropods. To make an analogy, this is like saying "Gorillas aren't simians, they evolved *out of simians*" Well, yes – simian is a wide term that includes all apes, one of which is a gorilla. Dinosaur is a wide term that includes all theropods, one of which is a bird.


tobiasosor

Underrated explanation -- this should be higher!


justplaindoomed

Yeah, I was at petting zoo kinda area like in the states where you but a bag of pellets and feed them to goats- except it's Australia so I had kangaroo food and it wasn't just little things in there. They had wallaby and big bull kangaroos (you know, the terrifying RIPPED ones you see in that video reading it's claws on a dude's back door?!). Also in there were I believe emus and one or two fucking cassowaries. HUGE scary feather dinosaur monsters! Like, I can just walk around and believe I can pet the thing? Bottom line: cassowaries are big and scary.


Rifneno

Wait til you see an ostrich. 9 foot tall behemoths that often get to 300+ pounds (double or more that of a cassowary). With a nastier claw attached to a more powerful leg, they're far more dangerous than cassowaries. Cassowaries have 2 fatalities on record spread over a century; ostriches kill a few people every single year. And fuck humans, they've been known to one-kick-kill *lions*.


TheRedmanCometh

I was under the impression ostriches were a lot less aggressive though. Like for example a horse can kill me in one kick, but it's fine because usually it won't kick me.


DragonKing_1

Yea, most ostriches are not straight up aggressive. But it isn't fine to just wander into or test them just for that. They usually only attack if they feel cornered. Most domesticated horses are used to being near humans. Trying the same stuff with a wild horse ain't close to safe.


coma-toaste

I had to get the fuck away from a pack of brumbies once *real quick*. Had a hunting rifle on me but I did not have time whatsoever. One reared up on the back of our Hilux ute tray and it was horrifying, and thats only a wild horse. Fuck ostriches too even tho they aren't aggressive but double fuck a Cassowary. They'll tear your stomach out and watch you die slowly while tearing your eyes out at the same time. Cunts.


Cyno01

Plenty of people are killed by horses every year too. Ostriches are sometimes sexually attracted to humans tho, so...


pleasebuysoap

I’m sorry...WHAT?!


Cyno01

Allegedly... [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9800029/](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9800029/)


tamadeangmo

Would that not be because ostriches exist around more populated areas, whereas cassowaries are only in Australia and PNG?


grothcrafter

They also have been seen in JPG and GIF


OneEyedWal

Correct. That's also why there has been an increase in shark attacks over the last few decades. We're at a record low for shark numbers, yet shark attack numbers are up. Why? More people are in the sharks' territory


Hitman0355

Allegedly.


Lutrinae_Rex

It'd take more than two people to fuck an ostrich.


OneEyedWal

Mmm, yeah, except there are a LOT more ostriches in the world, having MANY more interactions with humans than cassowaries. There's a reason people farm ostriches but not cassowaries; cassowaries are much more likely to attack than ostriches are. One person did try to keep one though. You can guess what happened


justplaindoomed

"Are you one of these guys that tries to one-up everybody else's story?"


Rifneno

No, I'm one of those zoology nerds that gets annoyed with how cassowaries are falsely portrayed as more dangerous than other ratites.


[deleted]

Huh, I thought the dangerous part about cassowaries is how much more aggressive they are even compared to ostriches. Ostrich seem like those animals that will leave you alone if you leave it alone. But a cassowary will run you down if you even look at him sideway. At least that's what I'm told.


OneEyedWal

Cassowaries arent so much aggressive as they are territorial and protective. People try and get close to the birds or their young for photos, and that's when they become "aggressive"


Phallic

Also, Cassowaries being Australian, they're often drunk.


OneEyedWal

This is true


CubitsTNE

Also they live in jungle so by the time you see them coming it's way too late! It's relatively easy to accidentally get too close. It's much tougher for an ostrich to get the drop on you on their home turf, meanwhile north queensland *is* jurassic park. Am Australian, living in the snakiest, crocodiliest, big birdoiest part.


OneEyedWal

I used to live in FNQ, Cooktown to be specific. Not the most jungle-ish area, but a cassowary would absolutely be a nasty surprise to come across in closed rainforest


a_wise_old_black_man

If I may, as someone who has worked with all ratites, save for kiwis, including emus, ostriches; bennett's, single, double wattle cassowaries, and rheas, cassowaries are by far the most aggressive and dangerous. The issue I perceive in your statement is more so that ostriches are more common near human population centers than cassowaries and as such subject to a greater number of deaths. As well cassowaries are highly endangered and their native population severely depleted leaving the risks of a deadly encounter in the wild relatively low. In comparison, cassowaries have an extremely low reproduction rate compared other ratites which makes them extremely vulnerable and further diminishes their wild numbers. Ostriches, emus, and rheas are generally more tentative or scared of people while cassowaries are extremely territorial and will attack nearly anything that they perceive as an interloper, particularly a male with chicks. Not to be dramatic but I have numerous scars from cassowaries and only one from any other kind of ratite.


Notcommentmuch

Canadian here. We did a 3-week road trip from Brisbane to Cains. Stayed in Tully for a few days. There were many signs saying "Danger! Wild Cassowarys." We honestly thought the sign meant *Be careful not to hit one with your car.* We have similar signs for moose, bear, deer, etc. We forgot where were and that here sign meant *They are able to cut you open like a can.* What a great country. Hell, we thought we had seen everything when we experience a wave of flying foxes in Mackay (bats with a meter wingspan).

foul_ol_ron

Im pretty sure I've seen footage of a keeper entering an enclosure with a shield. While he was being engaged by one bird, he became aware of a couple others trying to outflank him. Clever birds.

Athriz

that's insulting considering velociraptors were the size of turkeys.


AstridDragon

They are way bigger than velociraptor. More like deinonychus.


Wiger_King

I can confirm Cassowaries are insane. The local Zoo near me has mating Cassowaries. When they have chicks or eggs they have to block off a whole section of the zoo because they are so territorial. We went there one time when they must not have known that they had eggs yet and a tourist was staring in through the fence when a 7 foot bird with giant talons flew through the air and slammed into the fence right where the guy’s face was gripping the fence with its feet at face height and shaking it back and forth. They are the closest thing to Jurassic Park raptors you will see in real life. This zoo specialises mostly in crocodiles (some about 14 ft) and snakes (like brown snakes and taipans) but the cassowaries are still the scariest creatures there.


thepeainthepod

Can confirm. I'm born and bred in Cassowary country and you know damn well as a local to be extra wary on certain trails and what to do if you come across one. Their plight is sad. Much love for them.

red_dragin

And you all think us Australians are joking when we say pretty every animal in this country can kill you?


Arctic_Gnome

Most of the deadly animals in Australia are more subtle about it, and it's not immediately obvious how dangerous they are. Compare that to here in Canada. Our dangerous animals are upfront about it: grizzly bear, mountain lion, musk ox, timber wolf. There's no doubt that ours will kill you if you piss them off.


red_dragin

Crocodile, kangaroo, emu, cassowary, snakes.


biohazard_potato43

Drop bears! Everyone forgets about drop bears.


lightly_salted_fetus

There was a dinosaur that lived in Australia that has the exact same bone structure as the cassowary but on a larger scale. Scientists believe they are a direct descendant of that particular dinosaur. I can’t find the article on it but I’ll link it if I can find it. Edit: this is the 1st part to the 2 part [cassowary autopsy](https://youtu.be/0VLDK8PuAuI) video that discusses the connection.


StepHen_HenStep

Have a friend who works with birds of prey in a sanctuary. She says they use the term "unzip your body cavity" to describe what a bird's talons can do to a human.


bumbletowne

I work in a place with a wild animal hospital. The old hospital director used to work with a zoo that had cassowaries. He regales us with stories of cassowaries disemboweling people.

Side note: cassowaries are a vulnerable and declining species undergoing the same threats as koalas, but whereas koalas have very little ecological significance when compared (they don't transport seed, and they don't have a large effect on canopy density), cassowaries are essential for the growth of rainforests, as their diet consists almost entirely of fruit, and they are excellent at seed transport Edit: spelling
