hello everyone it's been a while since we've had Birds on our reviews so it's time to fix that besides in the previous video this Australian dinosaur clearly won the poll of candidates meet you're on the animal Instinct Channel and today we're reviewing the ca I won't ask you to like or subscribe to the channel you know what to do so with almost no further Ado let's begin [Music] Australia is teaming with dangerous creatures that can easily send you to your ancestors venomous snakes spiders crocodiles you name it but then there are the birds which Delight the eye of the tourist with their bright feathers but not so fast this is the last bird I'd want to meet meet the handsome fellow that inhabits the tropical forests of Australia the ca although as in Australia the bulk of the cies have chosen the territory of New Guinea and its surrounding Islands which they have clearly divided among themselves and try not to appear in someone else's area after all these birds have a nasty temperament but more on that later horned head that's how the bird's name translates from papuan just look at it it's a real live dinosaur a bony helmet on its head a predatory gaze a massive body and huge legs as if hinting that you should stay away from this bird and for good reason caes can grow to almost 6 and 1/2 ft tall and weigh up to 130 lb true it's height isn't very noticeable because the castry moves slightly bent over toward the ground it looks like a big turkey or a maxed out ostrich meanwhile the C is listed in the Guinness book of records as the most dangerous bird on the planet and every year at least one Australian leaves this world precisely from an encounter with a Cy it doesn't have venom but this is one of those cases where a bad temper and solid size more than make up for its absence the cassa's beak isn't very big and usually doesn't pose a threat it's the legs or I should say Paws they are so powerful as if they were two giant wooden pillars with them the bird can easily give a kick to anyone who seems even slightly dangerous and it doesn't matter if it's a dog or a human in addition they end in rather large claws among which there are combat claws reaching 6 in in length poor manicurists such claws like knives cut into the body of the offender and little good it does him it definitely won't seem like it and even if you try to run from it you're unlikely to succeed because its powerful legs Propel its body up to 30 mil per hour oh yeah I forgot to mention that caes while very similar to ostriches belong to their own order the ca order which besides the caar themselves also includes emu yes Emos aren't ostriches either they used to fly but then they realized that walking on the ground was much more convenient therefore wings along with the Keel bone were reduced in ceries and even their feathers started to resemble fur so they have a peculiar appearance in general there are three types of cies and the southern CA is the coolest and the largest of them it CHS the southern coast of New Guinea with an average elevation above sea level the northern Cy got the lowland tropical forests while the dwarf Cassy being the smallest settled in the mountain forests although if there are no larger neighbors around it can descend to sea level the bird's warlike appearance is further enhanced by its nasty temper caes are very easy to anger and provoke then it will Rush after the offender the C will kick him with its powerful legs at the same time it's hard to understand what displeased his majesty even zoo workers often fall out of favor with ceries but there's trick here it's best to approach it holding some long object like a shelf or a broom after all the ca won't attack anything taller than itself or as a last resort it's good to have a similar wooden shield to protect yourself from meeting the bird in Australia they even use special road signs indicating caar and in Parks you can find signs like this keep an eye on your dogs or I'm not responsible this behavior is observed even in young caes for example this CA thought it met a fellow CA and of course it needed to show its strength look how it jumps and Strikes the car with powerful blows I think a real opponent would have been scared knowing the ca's character people are very careful about the unexpected appearance of such birds of course it's better to give it your picnic spot than to get a kick with a leg like that and they always give it space for bathing too like any self-respecting fighter all cassery species have a bony helmet on their head s scientists argue about its purpose according to one version It's a resonator for The Voice according to another it protects the head during movement Through the Jungle after all ca's run like this but invariably such a growth indicates the animal's sexual maturity after that you might think that the ca is a dangerous and bloodthirsty Forest dweller but even here the bird can surprise you the fact is that it feeds mainly on fruits no of course it can eat a snake frog or snail but it prefers fruit much more which is abundant in the forest simply lower your head down and there it is it's so fast at eating fruit the Cassy would give anyone a run for their money look how easily the bird disposes of a huge mango it simply takes it and swallows it whole at the same time it can eat several such large fruits in one meal and after 5 hours the undigested food waste is excreted naturally and then a new tree appears in place of such a pile caes without knowing it are engaged in a very useful business spreading seeds throughout the forest and they are an important part of the ecosystem after all the bird's diet includes over 100 species of tropical fruits so if you buy mangoes in the store know that they most likely appeared not very appetizing is it sometimes such piles fall past the target strangely enough such processing of seeds even increases their germination rate for example the germination rate of the greater bird of paradise seeds is usually only 4% whereas after processing by caes this figure increases to 92% and some plant species are spread exclusively thanks to these birds cassowaries can eat very toxic fruits that other animals would be poisoned by fruits pass through the digestive system very quickly and do not harm the birds as I said male ceries are very aggressive but females are larger heavier and taller their behavior is more aggressive and even their coloring strangely enough is brighter and that means the click clack of heels can be heard somewhere it even gets to the point that male cassowaries while sorting out their relationships can scatter in different directions if a female appears nearby but if the female likes the male she begins to lure him with her tender voice just try not to approach ceries don't have a specific period the pair stays together for about 2 weeks during this time the male builds a nest where the female lays three to eight very beautiful green eggs each of them can weigh more than 500 G after that the female goes off in an unknown direction or rather to another male for two whole months the Father incubates the clutch and then spends about a year raising feeding and teaching the children during this time he becomes especially aggressive and will kill anyone who gets in his way if the chicks are in the slightest danger he attacks the opponent without hesitation even if it's their mother however Casa is Tred to settle in secluded corners of the forest far from humans and other neighbors the chicks are born completely different from their parents and have a light brown color with dark stripes but already after a few hours they are able to run and will constantly follow their father they even bathe together however during meals everyone is for themselves here the father has the advantage and the young ones get only scraps but the most interesting thing is that he is not the biological father of these children and his children will be born to another male this is how it happens unusually in caar interestingly this tradition originated in flightless birds from dinosaurs archaeologists have discovered several fossilized clutches of eggs with Dinosaurs incubating them and in all cases they were males the C has few natural enemies besides humans only wild boes and dingos can be mentioned and even those don't attack adults but can only raid the clutch as for humans they have hunted these beautiful birds for centuries currently the population of Southern and Northern ceries is no more than 10,000 individuals each and they are considered vulnerable protective measures are being taken but obtaining accurate statistics on the birds is difficult due to their secretive lifestyle and the poor development of New Guinea that's it I hope you enjoyed it this is an interesting bird then don't be lazy to rate the video write in the comments who else you want to
