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.

When that thing starts jogging at her it is disturbing on a primal level.

He came trotting back to her like "Thought that stick trick was pretty cute, huh Susan?"

[edenengland]

i love how looking at the shadow she's just holding the camera forward like a cross trying to fend it off like a demon

[Sonichero]

Cassowary: "Congratulations, you are now the center of my attention, *Do not resist* "

[quackgarage]

lady: help me

cassowary: OK HOLD ON I'LL SAVE YOU FROM THIS CAMERA

[shmeli]

She sounded like she knew the danger she was in but didn’t panic, hats off to her

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.

Edit: yes yes ik it's a dinosaur. What I meant was those dinos like velociraptors and such. Like in the JP movies.

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.

As an Australian that is the most friendliest cassowary I have ever seen on the internet

[Lurklen]

I love how near the end it just stares out into the vastness of the ocean and seems to forget all about her.

[SupaSonicFanboy]

Bastard looks like they survived the asteroid.

[kimberlyjanae]

She holding that GoPro like a crucifix 🤣🤣

[uzochiokeke]

woman: "should i go into the sea?"


*immediately gets stung by a box jellyfish*

[hawaiiancharm]

Plot twist, the Cassowary killed these people and uploaded the video himself out of spite

[Mr.PrincezNEN]

People gotta realize that a Cassowary is like a modern Raptor

[WingStorm]

*The way the Cassowary ran gave me chills, that was a whole Velociraptor 💀*

[christschool]

That bird looks prehistoric, right out of the dinosaur age.

[ScyllaWyrm]

The way that bird came running gave off a major velociraptor vibe.

Who needs more proof that the cameraman never dies.
