Yes. You're right. If the forests were protected since that long, life in it has been protected too I suppose. That makes this bird an actual living dinosaur.
@@kayrius there is no common name for the continent that is Australia, New Guinea (obviously both Papua New Guinea and Indonesian Papua and West Papua) and Tasmania, although geographically it is the one continent.

Based on DNA? Bones mean nothing alone. What evidence besides bones is there? I have tried to look for this and the only evidence people give is fossils which is not strong enough evidence. Not saying they cant be dinosuars but I would like to know why people think this besides just bones. (Bones can be misleading as the elephant shrew looks like a shrew but in fact DNA shows itnis no where near related to shrews or even mice but is in fact closer to elephants of all animals)

Well the "chirp" kinda sounds like a hard swallow... at least that's what I'm telling myself, it's just digestive noises, yeah... but the "call" I can't sugarcoat. It sounds like a demon laughing.
That’s not a dinosaur. The word dinosaur means terrible lizard. That’s a bird not a lizard. Also I believe the ostrich is a far more dangerous bird than this one. I’ve only heard it’s the deadliest but I never seen it do a thing. Ostriches have attacked people so until I see it do what they are claimed to do then I will just look at them like any other ordinary bird.
@@juniorsir9521 You can hold off an ostrich with one hand if you know the technique and they are not predators. Dinosaurs are not lizards even if the name suggests otherwise.

I love that sequence with cassowary in 7 worlds, 1 planet! It brings beautiful memories. Last year I spent week and a half in Daintree on two different occasions and I was lucky enough to spot and observe two cassowaries for a few hours. They are absolutely amazing prehistoric dinosaur-like looking creatures. Surrounded by Daintree which on its own looks like rainforest from Jurassic period the whole experience is something extraordinary. I also had one of the best encounters with wild animal back then. As I was standing on a boardwalk and watching cassowary for some time, after roughly two hours cassowary approached me and sit right next to the boardwalk. I was standing right above it, and that magical connection with such an extraordinary animal for a short time is something I'll never forget!
Imagine the first people to reach Australia in a canoe. There was megafauna there then that is long since extinct. They must have felt very low on the food chain.
These feral pigs are everywhere and a real danger to many ecosystems. Same with invasive fish and especially shellfish like zebra mussels. All with the ability to destroy existing environmental we take for granted and love.
Maybe it thought you were the baby's other parent they were out looking for so they could get a break from minding the baby.... But then realised you were not and just moved on their way...

Did it try to kick or peck you in the attack or did you not hang around for neither? At six feet tall, that’s a big enough bird to avoid when possible.
Oh, I love this short video about the casseries(sp.?!) in Australia! Thank you so very much to the young lady speaking in the video and to anyone else helping make this video! Something I would never get to see! I love Australia and have never gotten to go there, and I am fascinated by Australia!
I'm going tomorrow to the Daintree Forest for the first time, I was super excited, but after seeing this video I'm super hyped up. I really hope invasive species get controlled asap, they're destroying one of the most unique wildlife in the world. Thanks for the video
Be careful, aware and respectful. Startling a cassowary is dangerous. They are shy but can be aggressive when cornered. People have been maimed and killed. Make some noise, not too much and walk with a semblance of situational awareness. This is their territory and they will defend it.
@@stefanmargraf7878 Absolutely correct. Humans are small in the scheme of time.. That is why we Aboriginal people do not hunt them. They are sacred for a reason. They are regarded as Elders and have their own Dreaming.
No one knows what dinosaurs sounded like. The best we have are estimations based on bone structure, shape and size where the vocal chords would have been located, but since we have never actually recovered a specimen with the chords still intact...
I came across a Cassowary in a National Park in Far North Queensland. It wasn't full grown and seemed curious about us because it shadowed us for about 15 minutes. Of course we were cautious, knowing their propensity to attack, but it was really one of the most magical meetings of our wildlife I've ever had. We were more fortunate than the tourist who was attacked a few weeks later by an adult. He was badly injured but survived.
I saw this animal in person inside Daintree Rainforest in 2015. My group and I read an informative signpost before, informing tourists to stand still when the bird approaches - It worked fine!
Really wish I realised my love for animals back when I was in high school, I’d literally volunteer and do this awesome stuff as long as I just just being fed and had somewhere to sleep😂
In Papua New Guinea, the cassowary is a feared bird. The peoples traditionally made daggers out of cassowary leg bones and carves designs into these bone daggers.
It's nice how everyone who works for BBC's documentary crews has a deep respect for nature. The shot's not worth it if it's going to disturb the animal. Respect.
Dinosaur means terrible lizard. Dinosaurs are a lie. Raptor means bird. Dinosaurs were nothing more than birds. Bones in museums are all fake. Don’t believe me go to the Meuse I’m and ask, they will admit it
@@brianteskey2425 Yeah, no shit the bones are fake. Even the most basic understanding of paleontology would teach you that we sculpt the 3D bone models in museums from bone impressions in rock samples, or otherwise known as 'fossils.' You realize fossils aren't actual bones? That they're the impressions left from when the animal broke down into nothing but carbon rich dust? You're spewing nonsense
@@expressrobkill yes they are dangerous but only if you get up close.... they just walk around our oval and we look from afar. Occasionally they have come up close to my classroom :)
Deadly. But not that bad. The snakes are "deadly" But they really only bother with you if you block their way, tread on them or get close to a nest. I've lost count how many times i have walked within a few feet of one before noticing and they either just moved away or just laid still until i passed. I've only been bitten once and that was by a baby red belly black. And that was when i trod on it with no shoes on.
I was lucky enough to encounter this bird in the Australian rain forest during an organized excursion. It was very indifferent to human presence and not aggressive at all.
Exactly.... Media/Nature programs always over exaggerate Australia wildlife in particular and make it sound like you going to die once you step foot on Australia soil... There's only ever been about 2 recorded deaths from these birds.
Every ten years, every Australian should be given a medal just for surviving in Australia.
Last reported death by a Cassowary is 1926.

I immediately thought about this game when i saw the title.
Yeahh I've been think about it the whole time
I used to play it when I was younger but I always fucked around more than I played the actual story
An elderly man in South Florid tried to keep one as a pet. It eviscerated him.
of course he was from florida
Flori-Duh 🙄
Deserved it.. cassowary are precious and protected.
I live in Florida and am not offended, we have many crazy people here. I do not support keeping these beautiful animals in captivity.
@@thegoodnessness yeah, somebody deserved to be gutted because they kept a pet. What is wrong with you
Oh, I love this short video about the casseries(sp.?!) in Australia! Thank you so very much to the young lady speaking in the video and to anyone else helping make this video! Something I would never get to see! I love Australia and have never gotten to go there, and I am fascinated by Australia!
I'm glad the Chinese never regarded the horns on their heads as medicinal or a carving material.
No. but they brought invasive species there, like pigs.
Don't give them ideas...
I'm going tomorrow to the Daintree Forest for the first time, I was super excited, but after seeing this video I'm super hyped up. I really hope invasive species get controlled asap, they're destroying one of the most unique wildlife in the world. Thanks for the video
Be careful, aware and respectful. Startling a cassowary is dangerous. They are shy but can be aggressive when cornered. People have been maimed and killed. Make some noise, not too much and walk with a semblance of situational awareness. This is their territory and they will defend it.
Remember always: you are an invasive species!
@@stefanmargraf7878 Absolutely correct. Humans are small in the scheme of time.. That is why we Aboriginal people do not hunt them. They are sacred for a reason. They are regarded as Elders and have their own Dreaming.
@@charki40 THX. It makes me proud to get an answer by a australian native! The people of BBC should have a talk with the aboriginals in that regard.
That call is just so odd.
It really sounds like a dinosaur!
This man knows what a dinosaur sounds like
@@aIkaIi The lowest sound made by any bird on Earth
@@touremuhammad5983 When I read this I heard David Attenborough in my head.
@@aIkaIi He just got back from the land of the lost!😃😁
No one knows what dinosaurs sounded like. The best we have are estimations based on bone structure, shape and size where the vocal chords would have been located, but since we have never actually recovered a specimen with the chords still intact...
I just love casowaries so much. Truly modern dinosaurs.
Don’t always believe what your told
@@musclerussell8109 Whats that supposed to mean?
But they don't love you.
@@musclerussell8109 Same thing to your English teacher
@@mustard4762 I never went to school. Didn’t need to
I came across a Cassowary in a National Park in Far North Queensland. It wasn't full grown and seemed curious about us because it shadowed us for about 15 minutes. Of course we were cautious, knowing their propensity to attack, but it was really one of the most magical meetings of our wildlife I've ever had. We were more fortunate than the tourist who was attacked a few weeks later by an adult. He was badly injured but survived.
I saw this animal in person inside Daintree Rainforest in 2015. My group and I read an informative signpost before, informing tourists to stand still when the bird approaches - It worked fine!
The sounds are so cool
Yes..formal voice make me attention
Lol
Far Cry players: just like the simulations
What does that even mean??
True
Agreed.
@@joannemates6367 If you play Far Cry 3 cassowaries are featured in the game & will attack if you get too close just like in real life 😏
Russel: Your Wilderness Explorer reporting for Duty!
Also Russel: Hi Kevin! 😊
They could have just lured it with chocolate
@@JamesCraigWhoop i really hope youre joking
Kevin is a mom???
@@varunmadhavan3227 underrated comment
Really wish I realised my love for animals back when I was in high school, I’d literally volunteer and do this awesome stuff as long as I just just being fed and had somewhere to sleep😂
While I like to nap, I wouldn't consider myself a napper.
Emma, You are one fantastic reporter. Over the top. Hope to see you again!
In Papua New Guinea, the cassowary is a feared bird. The peoples traditionally made daggers out of cassowary leg bones and carves designs into these bone daggers.
It even sounds like what you would assume a dinosaur sounded like! Great video.
Genetics suggest they don't have the vocal construction to sound as they do in Jurassic park...
Hollywood lies again.
@@festuswilliams654 good thing many of us don’t look to Hollywood for truth! 👍😊
What a beautiful presentation 🤗💕 was listening every word. Thank you for sharing 💋
I want to be reborn as a Casuary, then my Dad will take care of me.
I think my dad was part Casuary
I’m a simple guy, i see dinosaur, i click.
Beautiful Animal ...🌐🔵🌐
thank god , there is still one animal on this planet, who fights back ...
3:38 - 3:43 that sound is just amazing.
Beautiful birds and bossoms ;)
Just like how Florida has the craziest people situations, Australia has the craziest animals 👁👄👁
A god damn dinosaur…
Yes
His head crest looks like Dilophosaurus's
@@rafayshakeel4812 what?
@@rafayshakeel4812 GOD DAMN … dont care
We shouldn't use God's name in vain like that it's disrespectful
It's nice how everyone who works for BBC's documentary crews has a deep respect for nature. The shot's not worth it if it's going to disturb the animal. Respect.
"it looks like a dinosaur" well it is a dinosaur taxonomically
Dinosaur means terrible lizard. Dinosaurs are a lie. Raptor means bird.
Dinosaurs were nothing more than birds. Bones in museums are all fake. Don’t believe me go to the Meuse I’m and ask, they will admit it
do my taxes what
@@brianteskey2425 Yeah, no shit the bones are fake. Even the most basic understanding of paleontology would teach you that we sculpt the 3D bone models in museums from bone impressions in rock samples, or otherwise known as 'fossils.' You realize fossils aren't actual bones? That they're the impressions left from when the animal broke down into nothing but carbon rich dust? You're spewing nonsense
I mean technically, but then all birds could be classified as reptiles, humans are fish etc etc. Taxonomy is weird
@@ryaquaza3offical Both true, but yeah. It's pretty weird sometimes.
The next Jurassic world should use the cassowary call as a base for the velociraptor sound effects.
I see Cassowaries every day at my school 😁 i never get sick of seeing them
Lucky you are..
Wait what aren’t they mega dangerous? Thats awesome though, as someone who loves prehistory there amazingly preserved reminders of a bigon era.
@@expressrobkill yes they are dangerous but only if you get up close.... they just walk around our oval and we look from afar. Occasionally they have come up close to my classroom :)
@@missd3605 do they make that deep vibrating sound, Where it sounds like a velociraptor?
@@expressrobkill to be honest I don't think I've ever heard them.... I have absolutely no idea what sounds they make 😂
australia is indeed home to the most deadliest creatures alive, especially when it comes to snakes.
And deadly humans who committed genocide?
@@kevin6856 No Australians have ever committed genocide neck beard
Deadly. But not that bad. The snakes are "deadly" But they really only bother with you if you block their way, tread on them or get close to a nest. I've lost count how many times i have walked within a few feet of one before noticing and they either just moved away or just laid still until i passed. I've only been bitten once and that was by a baby red belly black. And that was when i trod on it with no shoes on.
@@kevin6856where are you from mate?
@@kevin6856 The only Genocide Aussies have committed is on gigantic spiders
A 6 foot tall male who is an amazing parent...we should all be so lucky :)
Those calls they make are so amazing to me. It sounds nothing like what I'd expect to come out of a bird.
BBC has the most amazing documentaries.
The Karen domesticus has a similar frightening sound as a Cassowary.
,😭
😅
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You’ll have to teach the villagers to lure boars back to the town centre for food
AoE reference, nice
About hunting the hog not luring back
space dog well you’d better mill that hunt
Grandpa Simpson: “That bird is evil I tells ya. Evil.....Eeevvviiilllllll !”
Yes mean and agreesive, when I was there a lots alerts about it
There is nothing 'Evil' about this bird. It lives peacefully in the forest.
You say that about everything Grandpa
‘little spikes that get you while you’re looking at the big spikes’ that’s the whole raison d’etre of the little spikes
Goodness, those baby chicks stole my heart! It’s deadly to us but it’s necessary for them and that’s what makes nature so fascinating!
The cameraman do be using a high quality ghillie suit
Wow the cassowary is literally gorgeous!! It reminds me of a dinosaur!!
They are dinosaurs! :D That fact just makes them even more badass
Cassowary is a real kick scratcher bird, who don't like to be mess with.
Indeed
@@cooperthecat5263 :)
This is totally awesome. Thank you!
That bird looks just like my old basic photography teacher
Those wild boars could possibly make for a decent " boars stew ", that could curb for their destruction to the forest and some wildlife.
it destroys everything
"australia is an ancient continent" why did she make it sound like other contents just popped up after 2012?? 😂
The way she narrates makes me feel like she hasn't set 1 foot into asia.
Yeah, she was a bit ridiculous.
World's Deadliest Bird?
If it's Australia, it's just another day
I was lucky enough to encounter this bird in the Australian rain forest during an organized excursion. It was very indifferent to human presence and not aggressive at all.
Exactly.... Media/Nature programs always over exaggerate Australia wildlife in particular and make it sound like you going to die once you step foot on Australia soil... There's only ever been about 2 recorded deaths from these birds.
they are not only found in Australia but Papua New Guinea as well
