Southern Cassowaries (Casuarius casuarius) at Etty Bay, Queensland, Australia

The southern cassowary is one of Australia's most endangered animals, and it only lives in the mysterious, prehistoric rainforests of Far North Queensland. Due to habitat loss, road building, and feral animals consuming their eggs, only 1,500 to 2,500 wild cassowaries remain. They are very rare, but in Etty Bay, they are frequently sighted. Because the Etty Bay cassowaries are accustomed to people, they are not nearly as aggressive as other wild cassowaries.

Yeah exactly. There is a pair of them in the Zoo of the city where I live, they are amazing! Although I saw that they could be very peaceful - when I saw one of them laying on the ground and a small cat was purring to the cassowary hehe - it's still strange to see them walking among people so peacefully.

@j.h.6633 4 года назад

Jon Jones Hyperbole. They are not dreaded killers. They need to be respected and kept at a distance. Humans again have messed with nature by feeding them, which makes the affected ones more aggressive and dangerous to humans. If humans would leave them be there’d be no problem.

@micahfries7878 4 года назад

From 2:00-2:09 the cassowary almost seems to like the attention it's getting. It's almost like it's saying "be sure to get my good side."

Nice video! The choice of music is perfect and I love how you choose JP font for the ending card. Also, very educational for me - I hear all the time how aggressive they are, but here they seem to be completely indifferent to humans.

@TidewaterTeddy 6 лет назад

Thank you! Yes, they can be aggressive, but as you can see in the video, this aggression has been quite sensationalized.

Hi there! We are making a short film about Cassowary Conservation in the mission beach area, but we're finding it difficult to get good shots of Cassowaries! :P I was wondering if you would be happy for us to include some of the shots you have made here? We will credit you and your RU-vid channel in the video and link to it in the description as well, let us know what you think :) Thanks!

Cassowaries are not to be messed with. I read a news article about a man who kept a "pet" cassowary. He was cleaning the enclosure, slipped and fell, and the cassowary rushed up to him and kicked him to death. Not sure if he ate him.

@maverick2560 3 года назад

No, they're not made to feed on flesh, they're mostly fruit-eaters that sometimes eat small animals which they can swallow whole.

@helenscott8202 3 года назад

Steve Irwin, the naturalist, who didn’t fear anything, was terrified of these birds. He kept some at his zoo. He said, at any minute, you do not know what they will do or what will set them off. They can appear friendly at one minute and then attack. So even if this bird appears very tame, petting one would be dumb. You see people with emus as pets, but not cassowaries. They are very strong and can injure or kill a person easily.

Baby is so cute but still I am never going near a Cassowary. This bird is known to kill any human with those daggered claws. Cassowaries are bad-tempered and you had the courage to get this close to that cranky deadly bird.

@jimcrawford5039 5 лет назад

There is only one recorded death. In the early 20th century a young boy was kicked by one after he fell. He died after his carotid artery was severed. They can be dangerous yes but forget the hype about them. Emus can be just as dangerous but there are never any problems, and THEY are everywhere!
