And they say dinosaurs are extinct…
I’ve seen receptionists with longer.
More evidence that everything in Australia wants to kill you.
If you are not familiar with this animal, I suggest you look it up. I was like, what sorta reptile is this… ooooh….
Very dangerous animal.
Cassowaries are insane creatures honestly, you see them all through Queensland. There are a few deserted beaches where they pretty much run wild, and when I saw one in person I was amazed at how much like a dinosaur they look.
An Emu is just a big bird, but a Cassowary is a proper dinosaur. They can be quite violent when provoked, so if you ever see one, stay cautious
That doesn’t look so scary. More like a 6ft turkey.
Let’s say you came face to face with one in the wild… What do you do? Can you run from it? Or can you climb something to get away? Does it hate water? Just how would I survive something like this?
Now I get hunting them in Far Cry. That will F you up just like a boar!

I’d rather take my chances with a lion, to be honest.
why do i hear death claw nosies?
That’s a deathclaw
The cassowary is a straight up dinosaur.
They even have a bony head crest thing.
And this is what the whole body looks like https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_cassowary#/media/File%3AKasuár_přilbový.jpg
It’s a dinosaur 🦕🦖
TIL dinosaurs are called Cassowary in Australian.
Wasn’t a war lost to a bunch of cassowaries?
“Welcome… to the Flightless Bird Zone”
I didn’t know chocobos were based on real life critters . . .
jesus christ
edit: removed most of my comment so i could still show how in awe i am of this bird without the dinobros going “um aktually” at me
As an Australian, wtf? I thought they were a new Zealand bird. *googled* yeh they’re native to north-eastern Australia. I live in the south east. Yeh don’t fuck with these birds. They make huge nests. If you see one walk the other way.
Appropriate:
>A turkey, huh? OK, try to imagine yourself in the Cretaceous Period. You get your first look at this “six foot turkey” as you enter a clearing. He moves like a bird, lightly, bobbing his head. And you keep still because you think that maybe his visual acuity is based on movement like T-Rex – he’ll lose you if you don’t move. But no, not Velociraptor. You stare at him, and he just stares right back. And that’s when the attack comes. Not from the front, but from the side,
>*[makes ‘whoshing’ sound]*
>from the other two raptors you didn’t even know were there. Because Velociraptor’s a pack hunter, you see, he uses coordinated attack patterns and he is out in force today. And he slashes at you with this…
>*[produces raptor claw from his pocket]*
>A six-inch retractable claw, like a razor, on the the middle toe. He doesn’t bother to bite your jugular like a lion, say… no no. He slashes at you here, or here…
>*[lightly ‘slashes’ across the kid’s body with the raptor claw]*
>Or maybe across the belly, spilling your intestines. The point is, you are alive when they start to eat you. So you know, try to show a little respect.
“Do the chickens have large talons?”
When people say we have no idea how dinosaurs acted etc, I point them to the cassowary.
Vecna is real?!
If you were wondering if birds a really dinosaurs…
