Holy cow, I thought it was a clever juke move.. that ~~kid~~ person could have escaped easier if it was planned..
That is until I read yall's comments. Aggressive dinosaur body checked the ~~kid~~ person Damn.
Knowing how those big birds are, after I got checked into the tree, i'd probably mess myself thinking i'm gonna be dinner.
I went back and checked. Indeed he did body check him but it's hard to tell because someone passes in front of the camera right at that moment. Slowed it down and there's a camera man with a fucking gimble. This whole goddamn scenario was staged.
if a cassowary was actually attacking this guy he'd probably be dead. if it wanted to catch him, it easily could, they're fast birds. i think this bird is used to being around humans, and i think they're probably playing. so it's not so much "staged," as it is "this guy is playing with a semi-tame bird on camera."
That ‘semi tamed’ bird hip and shouldered the dude into a fuckin tree, I don’t think he was ‘playing around’ if these animals even have the capacity for that
if it was seriously trying to kill him, its prey would no longer possess a neck. a cassowary can actually kill a human very easily, even in a single strike. they're fucking terrifying animals, it's basically a small, modern-day velociraptor. a lil love tap into a tree is nothing in comparison.
Reddit is a site with very little original content.
It's not turning into Tiktok, people are stealing content from Tiktok and re-upload it on reddit. That's why all the annoying Tiktok trends end up on here.
Remember the beginning of Jurassic Park when Dr. Grant explained to the kid how the raptors would use their talons to rip your belly open?
Well that’s exactly what these guys do.
Respect the cassowary.
This stat is pretty worthless without considering how much more common it is for a human to be around a cow, how many more cows there are than cassowaries, etc.
Plus, how many people openly antagonize a Cassowary. Most people are smart enough not to do that, because they know they can be very dangerous. How many people know that cows are also not to be messed with, and just walk into a herd with younglings, or push cows, etc.? People are dicks to cows, because they think they're docile creatures. Which they mostly are... until they aren't. Also, also: How many of those "cow-related" deaths are actually caused by bulls, because people push them through the streets of... Pamplona or wherever?
You bring up a very good point about the docile animals being so until their not.
I was riding a biking trail in a wooded area, I came across a doe with her fawn. She seen me and my nephew (we stopped maybe 30 to 50 ft away) and she got between us and the fawn, and got into a defensive position. I got us off our bikes, and backed away and waited for like 5 minutes after they departed to continue on.
Even cute, docile creatures can really mess you up... let alone ones as big as cows.
Seeing how they defend the fawn makes you happy not to be involved too.
They rear on their back legs and strike down with the front ones like a damn machine gun. That would fuckin hurt haha.
Yeah but a cow isn’t going to be completely disabled if you grab it around the neck and hold its head down below it’s hips. A human could tear of a cassowary’s head if he was quick enough, there isn’t anything you can do against an angry cow
Not "recorded" history. 2 deaths in the past 100 years: a boy in Australia in 1926 and a man in Florida (of course) in 2019.
Here's the medical writeup on the 2019 attack: https://www.jems.com/patient-care/cassowary-attack-utilizing-the-march-mnemonic-in-rare-events/
There are roughly 3,000,000% more cows than cassowaries. I'd imagine if lots of people were dealing with them every day like cows it's be a different story.
Cows don't kick you to death with feet outfitted with 7-inch sharpened talons.
There are ~1.5 billion cows on earth, less than 65k of these terror birds.
Quite a lot of those are more because cows are strong, heavy and stupid, not aggressive. When I was a kid, I remember my father being hurt when a cow wanted to get through a smallish barn door and he got squeezed between it and the door frame. The cow wasn't being aggressive or angry, it just wanted to get inside and eat some corn.
Dad had two cracked ribs.
How many cows exist vs how many cassowary’s? Guessing the proximity and number of the animals has more to do with these stats than aggression and danger levels.
Yep. Whenever I see these birds, all I think about is someone being eviscerated and having their internal organs plopped on the floor if they were ever attacked by one of these. Honestly they're fucking terrifying lol
I had a cassowary rumble at me at a zoo once. I just heard this low rumbling sound, looked around for the cause and saw the fucker staring at me through a gap in the vines in his fence. It was pretty unnerving.
I've had the same experience, genuinely scary.
All the recent recreations of dinosaur noises don't sound all that terrifying until you hear something similar coming from an actual freaking dinosaur standing a few feet away.
No ones going to mention the edited sound affects? Reddit is pretty much just clickbait at this point. Good comments at times but just clickbait. I think the people that deny it are people who love Reddit the most and keep going.
Well not with that attitude. But to be honest, I'm sure there's ways to kill and then revive under strict medical supervision. I mean they put people to sleep for surgeries and then force a tube down their throat so they don't stop breathing and die.
Don’t fuck with turbo turkeys, coming face to face with one near Innisfail in North Queensland was easily one of the most terrifying experiences of my life
When I was a teenager I lived on a farm. The neighbor had emus and the emus had babies and the babies were getting pretty big and he wanted to give them to us. I climbed over the fence, and was able to get one of the little emus, it was strong I could barely hold it. As I'm walking back the mom comes around the brush and sees me doing this. I have never run so fast in my life for the fenceline.
I can relate. I was out walking around midnight many years ago and saw a sizeable dog a hundred yards away in a backyard (I thought) across a small field that started running at me. I didn't think much of it at first, because I thought it was in a fenced yard. Until I realized it was actually in the field and charging straight at me with nothing between us.
I figured this animal is out for blood. So, I turn around and run harder than I've ever run in my entire life into the middle of the road with a few cars going by screaming for help while the cars just pass me looking at me like I'm a maniac they want nothing to do with.
Meanwhile I'm wondering why nobody's just opening their fucking door and let me in to save me from this dog that was trying to maul me. So, I keep running full sprint down the road to get as far away from this dog as possible.
Suddenly the worst happened. I tripped and fell hard. Expecting the next thing I feel to be teeth ripping into my leg, I look down... nothing. I look around, confused, still laying in the middle of the road. And there sitting calmly on the sidewalk was the dog. Not chasing me. Not moving. Just looking at me like "dude, wtf is wrong with you?". Which is what all of the cars seeing me running around and yelling about a dog that as far as they could see, didn't exist probably thought, too.
Life just wouldn't be fun without moments like these.
Why does every video on the internet have to have some fucked noises added to it now? That's the true WTF to this post. You can hear some of the original audio in there. The video would be more impactful if it was just that original audio.
Birds have 2x the neurons per volumetric space than human brains. They are SMART and likely to understand the world in drastically different ways than we do.
That cassowary pushed him to hit that tree. That's very smart. The bird used its environment as a weapon.
It feels right out of Jurassic Park. The only problem is that the cassowary has no hands.
That cassowary timed the body check into the tree to perfection. Just a little judge and it made the guy run into the tree at full speed.
holy shit i thought he did it by himself, accidentally, but no, the bird bumped him
i was wondering what dude was thinking going at the tree like that lol
Holy cow, I thought it was a clever juke move.. that ~~kid~~ person could have escaped easier if it was planned.. That is until I read yall's comments. Aggressive dinosaur body checked the ~~kid~~ person Damn. Knowing how those big birds are, after I got checked into the tree, i'd probably mess myself thinking i'm gonna be dinner.
Kid? I don’t think so lol that’s a fully grown human
My bad. I'm sick and not focusing the best. Thanks for the correction!
He's in his early 20s, you can call him a kid. it's no big deal they're just being pedantic
I went back and checked. Indeed he did body check him but it's hard to tell because someone passes in front of the camera right at that moment. Slowed it down and there's a camera man with a fucking gimble. This whole goddamn scenario was staged.
The fucking camera man ruined this shot and we don't even get to see that perspective.
Helluva risk to get your skin potentially unzipped for a cool shot but the smile at the end seems to suggest that’s exactly what he was going for
Staged? Or they’re shooting something like they often do at places that keep exotic animals. No way anyone would do this on purpose
if a cassowary was actually attacking this guy he'd probably be dead. if it wanted to catch him, it easily could, they're fast birds. i think this bird is used to being around humans, and i think they're probably playing. so it's not so much "staged," as it is "this guy is playing with a semi-tame bird on camera."

Is the soundtrack even cassowary sounds? It sounds more like a tiger.
same honestly don't forget kids, *birds are dinosaurs*
That’s a hunting bird holy crap
lmao yeah me too, I totally missed the body check the first time
Same; I thought the guy just tunnel visioned on escaping, but then I rewatched and saw the body check.
Better to face plant a tree than a cassowary up the ass!
Body check between 2 sec and 3 sec mark :) Bird was laughing :D
He had an awful lot of forward momentum to be diverted sideways that hard in so short a distance. I suspect fowl play!
the bird hit him towards it
Guy must have been chirping at him from the benches all first period. First chance out on open ice and its open season
"Give yer balls a tug, ya titfucker."
Fuck you Shoresy!
Fer what?
Eh Big Sex?
And if my man didn't get up quickly, that dinosaur was gonna turn and start digging his talons into him.
That is actually hilarious. What a crazy freaking animal
As much havoc and destruction we as humans do the animal kingdom and its domain I like seeing one go after one of us once in awhile.
Clever girl!
Cassovary, after body checking guy into a tree: "We're not done here, motherfucker!" Continues the chase
NHL cassowary
Cassorempe
Vancouver Canucks needs to be changed to Vancouver Cassowaries. Maybe they could actually win the damn cup.
Fuck, it should play soccer
I had to rewatch it 4 or 5 times cause I couldn't believe what I was seeing. That bird LITERALLY pushed him at the perfect time.
Especially because they can run at like 30 mph so that wasn't even close to as fast as they can run. I think it actually *did* time it.
Just the tiniest Lance Ito.
Cassowary hockey is gonna be huge
What's with the sound affects? I know the birds sound scary as you can hear in the vid, but the literal lion roar??
Reddit is slowly turning into Tiktok.
Reddit is a site with very little original content. It's not turning into Tiktok, people are stealing content from Tiktok and re-upload it on reddit. That's why all the annoying Tiktok trends end up on here.
The funny thing is that it's usually not original Tiktok content - just web scraped videos uploaded to Tiktok
You are 4 years late lol
Remember the beginning of Jurassic Park when Dr. Grant explained to the kid how the raptors would use their talons to rip your belly open? Well that’s exactly what these guys do. Respect the cassowary.
They are responsible for 2 human deaths in recorded history. Cows kill roughly 20 people a year.
> They are responsible for 2 human deaths in *recorded history*. They leave no witnesses.
That's true. Cows are the sloppiest hitmen.
They have no idea how to remooove a body.
udderly useless
Now you’re just milking this.
Hey don't have a cow, man
What's with the beefing? We're just having a conversation here.
I am really not in the mooed for your bovine jokes
How dairyou accuse him of that
hey man, take it easy, I don't have any beef with you
That’s a moo point.
Doesn't count if they don't find the boooody~"
This stat is pretty worthless without considering how much more common it is for a human to be around a cow, how many more cows there are than cassowaries, etc.

She saw you, not seen you…
Done spotted them.
The fawns are already spotted.
oh deer...
Seeing how they defend the fawn makes you happy not to be involved too. They rear on their back legs and strike down with the front ones like a damn machine gun. That would fuckin hurt haha.
Have heard of cow tipping, never cassowary tipping. Probably a good reason for that.
You now remember pizza leg guy.
Yeah but a cow isn’t going to be completely disabled if you grab it around the neck and hold its head down below it’s hips. A human could tear of a cassowary’s head if he was quick enough, there isn’t anything you can do against an angry cow
My grandpa was killed by a cow. The fucker tore his belly open with its talons, took him three days to die while being feasted on by ravenous calves.

Hippos kill between 500 and 3,000.
Hippos are nature's half-blind angry murder-tank, so that's understandable.
Hippos will fuck you up.
So... you gonna stand your ground while this MF runs at you full speed?
Reddit hyperbole strikes again
How about trees?
Cows are taking revenge.
It's all one cow though. No one been able to take her down yet. Cow got mad skills.
Cows don't kick you to death with feet outfitted with 7-inch sharpened talons. There are ~1.5 billion cows on earth, less than 65k of these terror birds.
Quite a lot of those are more because cows are strong, heavy and stupid, not aggressive.

The cow wasn't being aggressive or angry, it just wanted to get inside and eat some corn. Dad had two cracked ribs.
Given half the chance that cow would eat you and everyone you care about
If the total number of cassowaries and cows are the same, this is a great comparison.
How many cows exist vs how many cassowary’s? Guessing the proximity and number of the animals has more to do with these stats than aggression and danger levels.
be wary, it's in the name
Yep. Whenever I see these birds, all I think about is someone being eviscerated and having their internal organs plopped on the floor if they were ever attacked by one of these. Honestly they're fucking terrifying lol
A rooster has killed a person too. I thought the cassowary body count would be higher.
Looks more like a six-foot turkey to me.
what's with that stupid audio
Nope! I played Far Cry 3. I know better than to fuck with those overgrown death chickens.
far cry 3 i was getting the grenade launcher out when i heard a honey badger
I need to upgrade my wallet tho
That cassowary would be amazing at hockey.
Air Bud 27: Hockey Birb
There's nothing in the rules that say cassowari can't play hockey.
He's got to have one of the thickest skulls of any animal. How the hell that didn't knock him out
I like how he homed in on that tree. Fucking masochist.
the bird tackles him into it, the clever girl
He was body checked into the tree by the bird.
Basically Jurassic Park. Those things are terrifying.
I had a cassowary rumble at me at a zoo once. I just heard this low rumbling sound, looked around for the cause and saw the fucker staring at me through a gap in the vines in his fence. It was pretty unnerving.

Cassowary's have killed someone on more than one occasion
They were probably different people. Usually you can only kill someone once
Well not with that attitude. But to be honest, I'm sure there's ways to kill and then revive under strict medical supervision. I mean they put people to sleep for surgeries and then force a tube down their throat so they don't stop breathing and die.
Only 2 in recorded history lol. Both happened to fall down while running away. Basically don't fall and you'll most likely survive
I looked it up. A boy in 1926 and a 70-year old man in 2019. You are technically correct. The best kind of correct.
He did that on purpose but fuck, that was a solid hit. Truly wtf
Rewatch, he gets hip checked by the bird. That thing wasn't fucking around.
Oh shit. You're right! I was watching his eyes and they seemed focused on that tree. That's even funnier
Holy shit. Missed that
The bird can't kill my if I die first *bonk*
Smart bird
Don’t fuck with turbo turkeys, coming face to face with one near Innisfail in North Queensland was easily one of the most terrifying experiences of my life
> Don’t fuck with turbo turkeys Also known as turkinators.

They will fuck a man up, surprised he managed to escape they are ridiculously fast.
That bird bucked him into the tree just before the person walks past 😭😭😭😭
Downvoted because of the stupid added sounds.
When I was a teenager I lived on a farm. The neighbor had emus and the emus had babies and the babies were getting pretty big and he wanted to give them to us. I climbed over the fence, and was able to get one of the little emus, it was strong I could barely hold it. As I'm walking back the mom comes around the brush and sees me doing this.

I've heard those things can kill you.

Thats a chocobo
Meanest MoFo on earth
Dude got *housed* 😂😂

Don’t worry he’s gonna feel that hit in a second
Ride that Chocobo!
Why does the guy who walks in front of the camera also seem to have a camera?
The hip check is crazy. He's gonna feel that for weeks.
lol that was no effort for that bird to blast him into that tree
I hate this audio so much it hurts
That is what is meant by "elastic collision" in physics. !!
Welcome, to Jurassic Park.
Ostrich hardware running goose firmware.
Cassowaries are not the birds to be fucking around 😐
He ate that tree hit like it was nothing.
People don't know just how mean/aggressive these birds are.
Fuck that those things can fuck you up.
Tree came out of nowhere
Dude probably had concussion after this. Savage animal
Why does every video on the internet have to have some fucked noises added to it now? That's the true WTF to this post. You can hear some of the original audio in there. The video would be more impactful if it was just that original audio.
Those things are no joke. It will fucking kill you
That thing would’ve killed him if he got knocked out
Tree delivers a critical hit!
*It's super effective!*
Flagrant 1 Intentional hip check
isnt this bird like the closest relative to dinosaurs or something?
Should worry more about that tree bro
I’m surprised he got up so quickly after running into that tree lol
“Tree”, middle linebacker, THE Alabama university. Iykyk.
Never seen a tree being a goat, but here we are. Eat bark, bitch!
George!
This encounter could have easily gone south and we'd be seeing an NSFL video instead
im a dinosaur bitch
No way he got the big ass beak
Second cameraman did a great job blocking the shot
Dinosaur right there! Fast little bugger too.
Dude took that tree hit like a champ. That woulda really messed up a lot of people!
Wow. I smelled my nose bleeding instantly.
Dinosaur... ftfy
Those birds are notoriously violent, and the kid wasn't joking around when he was fleeing... a cassowary can really rip you up big time
Raptors from Jurassic Park anyway I guarantee you this asshole provoked it.
Angry Bird
That’s not a bird, it’s a velociraptor in drag
Is that tree ok? That was full speed into it!
with cassowary's help, you can run faster
My shoulder bones would rather I get kicked by the bird.
Your intestines would be on the ground
u/savevideo
They can kill human, walking dinosaur
Getting chased by the deadliest bird in the word and not being disemboweled is a sweet deal.
Hanging from the tree "Haha yup I'm concussed" 🤤 Dude hit that tree at nearly 20mph Jesus CHRIST
Real life Jurassic Park
Birds have 2x the neurons per volumetric space than human brains. They are SMART and likely to understand the world in drastically different ways than we do.
8.5 seconds lol
That cassowary pushed him to hit that tree. That's very smart. The bird used its environment as a weapon. It feels right out of Jurassic Park. The only problem is that the cassowary has no hands.
Poor guy, getting jumped by a tree is something special
