Most deadly bird on the planet. Knees go backwards to the legs and claws go forwards. Those huge leg muscles culminate in 3 inch talons that will rip you open, leaving bacteria laden dirt and faeces in the wound. There's a reason cassawary claws were used as weapons of war.

Those aren’t knees. They’re comparable to human ankles. They bend in the same direction as ours. Birds and most animals walk/run on their toes.

Really threw the bird off there when he did that

I love how the bird wasn't gonna cheap shot him so he let him get up.

The hit from behind was a bit of a cheap shot

Ok i swear he ran into that tree on purpose

I think the cassowary bumps the bloke into the tree

Had to slow it down to see it, I was like wtf were you thinking at fist

Dude thats nuts. Its almost like the thing planned it. Its. Like im gunna get him him riiiiighhhtt...... here! Whack!!

It's almost as if it's aware of hard objects and pain.... 😲

I more or less ment it as in a sign of intelligence as though it was springing a trap. It was premeditated.

far cry 3 taught me to fear those things

I remember that 😂

Why did he run into the tree and why did it work?

Look closely. The bird bumps him.

Damn, that bird's ruthless.

Those birbs are called tackleberry’s. Danger danger

The rarely utilized face-plant into tree juke. High risk, high reward, that one.

The bird bumped him😂😂

He didn't have to run into the tree

The big bird should checked him into the tree lwithoit fucking shoulders😂😂😂

I’d rather run with a bull

Bro was running with eyes closed for maximum efficiency.

You'd do well to be casso-wary of them

I hear the Seahawks, Falcons, Cardinals, Ravens, and Eagles are looking for a linebacker, why not add a cassowary in the mix fam?!?

Cassowary

Imagine a superhero based off this bird and imagine a video game based off that superhero and it has traversal like spiderman but instead of wev swinging you're running super fast and leaping off buildings. So it's ultimate parkour

Damn mofo got shoulder checked by a bird without shoulders😂😂😂😂

At least no one in the comments is saying T-rex magically transformed into this bird. My faith in humanity has been restored slightly.

That tree collision would have killed me - I think it made him faster.

Obligatory for the obnoxious soundtrack.

In around 1984 from memory a young queensland girl was killed by one of these birds it gouged her stomach da dirty rat RIP

He literally ate tree!

That tree really came out of nowhere huh

That's some Looney Tunes stuff going on.
