Moral of the story: Tiktokers are indirectly responsible for cassowary attacks, and 50% of all cassowary kills are due to dogs.

Due to dogs?

Dogs are pests in the US and the #1 provocateur of bear attacks here.

Beautiful Dino Bird. Wish The Giant Moa, The Great Auk, The Elephant Bird, The Dodo Bird and The Haast’s Eagle were still alive.

Indeed! 💫 That would be really cool! And hopefully the cassowary doesn't experience the same fate!

if the whole hoopla around de-extinction does pan out, i think these fairly recently extinct giant birds might get a shot. the issue remains the same tho... if we can't even keep cassowaries from going extinct, should we even bother trying to de-extinct other large birds that basically lost the battle of ecological niches to them in the first place? keeping wildlife preserves just to sustain those birds' ecological requirements would be expensive. but i digress. it's more important that we learn how to live with every species we can first. the aussies are doing a fantastic job, let's see whether we can all do what they do.

I didn't know these living dinosaurs can even outrun Usain Bolt. I even thought I could run faster than them but now I realise they are damn fast and shouldn't have underestimated them.

Crazy, right? They are so fast! 🚀

I find them fascinating. It really makes me wonder what it would have been like to see the gixnt moa birds of NZ or the elephant birds of Madagascar. Even the vast array of terror birds in prehistoric times.

Mother Nature compensate flightless bird with the ability to run really fast... That's one hell of a mind games

But this - much more

Is it just me or do you also find the background “music” super-aggressive and totally unnecessary? The content is great, no need for this distraction

Very useful.

These are awesome birds, I'd love to see one in person, in the wild so I can hand feed it. Just joking (about the feeding part anyway)

It reminds me of the cryolophosaurus. And tapejara

the real life Angry Birds. ironically one of their biggest threats are feral pigs eating their eggs. guess a few slingshots are in order

Jurassic park crimes that inspired the cassowary

Clever Girl!

This video definitely has a different feel than your others. It's more like an AI generated click bait over tictoc videos.

@@EyeSeeThruYou I'm still not grasping what your point is. My comment was a critique of the style in which this video was edited. I didn't mention anything about the subject of the video or any information it provided.

2:50 Sorry but that was a terrible comparison. There are way more dogs that these birds; The dogs live much closer to humans, and the birds are usually fenced in.

You seem to have missed the point. *Unleased,* improperly contained, and roaming at large dogs are a worldwide problem. Dogs are the #1 provocateur of *bear* attacks in the US, and in Gulf Coast states, dogs become alligator prey where they then wind up getting owners injured and killed as well. You have no clue as to how many problems cats and dogs are causing in ecosystems, do you? Your post certainly communicated that clearly.

Australians call them Cassowaries, not "dinosaur birds". Strewth mate, only a bloody drongo would call them that.

They didn't. An analogy was used to help general viewers understand the evolutionary history and biology of cassowary by making use of a popular sci-fi film as a teaching aid.
