I appreciate documentaries like this with no intrusive loud music, no loud excited speech, and no fast cuts and drama. I'm watching a documentary not an action movie. I want to hear and see things as they naturally are with subdued editing. Thank you.
Agreed. I came to watch animals be animals, not some Hollywood monster.
I felt so bad for Buster! Honestly, my stupid human mind anthropomorphized him to be really upset. 😢😭😢😭😢😭
@@KayKay114 lmao you sound like a child 😂
@@Kyharralol who hurt you?!
@@JK-kf1fn well anthropomorphizing animals is stupid and childish
That shot of that huge python climbing up that extremely vertical tree was amazing.
.. and disgustingly scary too. Constrictor snakes are for nightmares. When even a puma has trouble freeing itself from their coiled grip, a human would have none.
@@ericastier1646 maybe if you carry a diamond knife and you got the power to cut through it
@@raven3946 diamond or any kind of blade would work, even a swiss pocket knife. The problem is the snake will limit your movements very quickly and you may not have the possibility to reach your pocket in time and open the blade.
He just shimmying on up
@@raven3946no less disgusting than humans
I live about 70km down the road, still in the rainforest, and I am pleased and proud to tell you locals will stop in the middle of the road if they see a cassowary near the roadway looking like it might cross. Nobody gets mad. Nobody blows their horns, we just chill, take in the scenery and let the dinosaurs do their thing. Yes, they are still tragically hit by cars, there are plenty of tourists who don't get it, but most of the people who live here know how lucky we are to live in this place, how blessed we are to share it with the wildlife, and we tread gently on this land. You're welcome to visit, just treat it with the respect this timeless, beautiful place deserves.
I was thinking how incredible to live in such a place. What a wonderful world we live in. I have seen animals today I have never heard of in my life. Truly wonderful. You are very lucky.
I love the Cassowary, such visually interesting birds, especially with the large crest on their heads. I hope they will continue to survive and thrive
If the birds are endangered, I hope the Australian govt intervenes and help incubate the eggs, hatch the chicks and care for them to adulthood.

@@sharkflip bad idea, that’s intervention against nature. If nature decides a species needs to go extinct, it will.
@@sharkflip That sounds good but the problem is you end up with adult birds that don't know how to survive on their own. A refuge would probably be a better idea where they could live in a semi-wild environment but with fewer natural enemies. Once they were adults they could be released into the wild.
They're endangered and they're in decline and they don't take well to captivity and rarely breed in it
Respect for all dedicated fathers
Mind blowing!
Fathers the hard working without playing in emotions and being manipulative. They just do their best silently with no seek for attention and drama.
Respect for the female players, can’t hate the players, it’s the game

Ya both awesome and heartbreaking moments
Gives you an idea just how colorful dinosaurs could be.
The Python climbing the tree is straight out of a horror film
I think this bird is gorgeous. 40 yrs old, is amazing. I pray these birds are protected,no matter the cost. They are magnificent. I was not aware that they were still alive. Thanks for this video.
Do not protect them, it’s nature who decides who lives and dies.
They are protected here in Australia
When you write “no matter the cost”, what do you mean, exactly?
Dinosaur not bird geez people!!!!
@@1mol831 humans are also part of the nature and if we decide that they live and they live that would be great. what's you point again?
kudos to the film makers for this documentary. it's not easy filming cassowaries because they are territorial and pretty aggressive towards humans. must have used plenty of long shots.
attack shields too
not to mention so hard to find too! with all the bush and folliage
The males are in breeding season expecially .
Kasuari can run as fast as human adult. That's why they are scary
@@fredrikmudas yeah but mainly because they can disembowel you with one kick of there huge ass claws ..and the axe that's On there head they run straight at you head down they can f you up in many ways ...an how you spelt it what's up there dude
This has to be one of the most beautiful and information PACKED nature documentaries I've watched and listened to. The naration is just wonderful!!! Always have been an animal lover. At 64 yrs, watching this makes me feel like the little kid I used to be again. Absolutely LOVE this one!!!!!
when I was growing up, I just lived each week to watch Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom. I'm addicted to nature documentaries because of that.
@@jillibeens57 Marlon Perkins and Jim Fowler were always welcome in our house too
If you get a chance, check out a 'terror bird' documentary. The animations aren't as pretty as this doc. but it's still one of the better ancient animal documentaries I've watched on KZhead. I love learning about animals alive and extinct.
It’s really great. I’m sick w the flu and this is calming and entertaining.
Although centered around the natural history of the cassowary, for me this was a beautiful ode to the Daintree Rain forest. Thank you for the gorgeous shots of Bennett's tree-kangaroo, Wompoo Fruit-Dove, Paradise Kingfisher, pademelons, Spotted Catbirds....I can appreciate the investment of time and patience it took to get these images. Bravo. My only whinge is about the predictable juxtaposition of footage of predators and prey to create 'drama'. It feels like all nature docs resort to this but after seeing it ad nauseam it becomes a bit predictable...
It might be predictable, but introduced predators and loss of habitat are realities faced by endangered birds and animals. Ad nauseam is the predictable nature that us humans continue to invade and destroy for $$$.
Have to agree - wish they had named those creatures in the film. My main whinge was the title - watched the whole thing in the hope of an explanation that never came (beyond mentioning three toes - which other bird species share). Lovely photography though eh.
Handsome dude, that Krinkle, guy! I love his eyelashes.

@@frankbed6904 The channel is my favourite.
@@frankbed6904 That's awesome! 😁
@@DavidGomez-po9nb watching these animals you get the feeling that we humans are aliens who invaded and colonised these other species.
@@frankbed6904 lol to be honest their lives might be better than ours. The only thing we have is security. They don't pay taxes or lose their homes to closures 😂😂
My friend had a cassowary wandering through his backyard in the Daintree rainforest. He had made friends with it. When I visited and she came through, I stayed a few meters away behind a stair railing in case she became territorial. It was still an incredible encounter. There was also a bandicoot and other animals that would come through the house, and a trapdoor spider in the driveway. But when we went for the proper forest tour, we didn’t see any wildlife.
On a trip to Cairns in the mid-60s, in a bend in the road running through the rain forest, we encountered a cassowary. It was so very exciting.
Amazing!!! I can share your story. I encountered a cassowary whilst on the greyhound bus from cairns to airlee beach. It was just chilling on the side of the road. Beautiful creature. This was in 2016
Ur name is Deborah how old r u
thats cool. cassowary is one of indonesia national birds. we have it on our passport as reminding even 😀
I saw one on the side of the range road about 10km down the hill form Kuranda last week :) It's always a treat to see them, and it makes me glad to see how traffic slows every time, even stopping with hazards on to let them cross the road. I love that most of the people who live around here understand how special a place it is and treat it with the respect it deserves.
Yes ladies and gents, this is the evolved ancestor of the Oviraptor we all now from the Jurassic period. Absolutely Amazing creature!
Descendant, not ancestor
@@Postinaway semantics but sure, gold sticker, we get it
We got the know it all in the comments 🤡
This seems to be more of a convergent evolution. The head crests or even a casque is also part of ceratosaurs and dilophosaurus which are different dinosaurs. Hornbills have a casque/crest also.
Proof, or it didn't happen.
Respect for Bertha
Crinklecut is an absolute icon, bertha is a girlboss queen. This deserves an Oscar.
Australia needs to have a sanctuary for these rare special birds.
the documentary was filmed in the Daintree rainforest, which is a world heritage listed national park. There's a limit on how many vehicles can travel across the Daintree river, there's strict rules to protect the entire ecosystem, not just the bigger and more famous animals that live in it, including limiting the number of tourists allowed in, the activities permitted and the kinds of development which are allowed. Their sanctuary is the rainforest the live in. And that rainforest is just one of five types of distinct forest habitats that exist within the wet tropics world heritage area, not including the marine habitat adjacent, which is also protected. I know this because I am fortunate enough to live on 25 acres of rainforest and sclerophyll forest just outside the word heritage area in the northern part of the Kuranda state forest. This is my backyard, I live in a open air museum exhibit, one of the last true paradises on earth. There's plants in my backyard you can find in the USA ... but only as 120 million year old fossils.
ALL birds are dinosaurs!!! Literally. It's basic monophyletic taxonomy
I just had to pause to say WOW WOW WOW!!!!!
by far one of my favorite animals of all time - I love the overall attitude and mysterious nature of the bird.
Cassowarys are amazing birds. TBH of all the birds shown in this documentary, it's the bower-birds I like the best. They are the closest to certain types of humans that I know, and they always give me a grin.
Smiled at your comment. When you look at the magazines in a shop stand you can see what interests most women. For the men it's mostly cars, computers and women on the top shelf.
@@straighttalking2090 birds are dinosaurs
Fascinating documentary. I've always been an awe of these dinosaurs, they are the only living example of what it was like back then; however, I have not learned much about the forest dwellers having seen primarily the open grassland types. While Bertha is a vegetarian her relatives are not and kill lizards and small animals for food. They catch their prey and then smash it against the ground with that massive neck killing or disabling it and then rip it apart with their massive bills. Bertha, terrifying as she may be, is not a killer although I'm sure she would kill anything that bothered her. The fact that the cassowaries feed the forest that feeds them is one of those mysterious and timeless partnerships that humans should be more aware of instead of simply cutting down the forest for money.
Getting kicked in the Gut by those powerful legs and evil claw. Would be a nasty way to go. A zoo keeper was killed by one a few years ago . But your right. Unless trapped you’d never see one in the jungle. . Also the other birds are generally omnivores and will eat a bit of anything. . EMU. I can never take seriously since a child hood show in UK about a ridiculous puppet emu that the puppeteer used to attack people. Sort of funny when your 12. Rod hull the puppeteer fell off his roof. Messing with his. TV Ariel. So there is justice. 😇
Yeah, but we need jobs, so the rainforest has to go. Can't stop until it's all concrete, then we can turn around and start planting trees. Anything for jobs!
@@trybunt Oh dear... Sarcasm is one thing but we are such a stupid, selfish species that you may well be right, mate!
Technically, all birds are dinosaurs. As for humans becoming aware and ceasing to cut down rainforesr, well, good luck with that.
true, though the bigger crime was the introduction of pigs that escaped and turned feral overbreeding and trashing the rainforest .
That snake climbing the tree is truly nightmare
29:57 I didnt know that's how a python can climb up the tree. It has a pattern of how it wraps its body against the tree as it climbs. Its very interesting!
it depends on if the python a lefty or not
Imagine how scary it would be if you climbed a tree and watched a python do that below you 🤣
Holy shit thats terrifying
Well done crinklecut, protecting your boy, bravo. You can explain it with as many facts about evolution you want, it seems like their survival is pure luck. Tuff life for a Dino bird baby. Good video, thanks.
Two years of pandemic really haven't made the sentence "well, you can explain it with as many facts as you like, but ..." any better.
But Bertha has survived , thrived and produced a lot of healthy chicks . Survival of the fittest worked in her case.
"The Last Surviving Dinosaur" Just like every other bird alive today.
This one's a bit closer than the common chiecken.
@@garymartin9777 All modern birds are equally related to non-avian dinosaurs.
I only came to reaffirm my issues with the same statement. Thought i might learn something new but pretty sure the fact remains.
@@garymartin9777 All birds are dinosaurs, I don't know how much closer you can get than all of them being a dinosaur. The way you phrased that is like saying x mammal is more mammal than x mammal.
@@paulo157758 I guess maybe the bird species that date back the furthest might be considered "closer" to the other non-avian dinosaurs? But I agree all modern birds are dinosaurs.
beautiful; these animals are more precious than most of the other "commodities" we buy, sell, or collect to admire
I think the thing on their heads could be sold for some $$. Removal of said part of their body might be fatal.
Humans destroy nature 😢
First learned about this bird after playing Far Cry 3. Your character they would tear you apart.
Yep. Also the eagles lol
@@juliusfucik4011 From Farcry 4....😀
The sheer range of remarkable species should make this a wonder of the world.
It is. it's all world heritage listed, protected and strictly regulated to minimize and where possible reverse human impact. While the Daintree is the focus of tourism, it's actually the area south of Atherton, west of Innisfail and north west of Tully that is the most bio-diverse rainforest region in the wet tropics area. Not even the locals go in there much, which is actually a really clever management strategy. There's trees in there that exist as 180 million year old fossils in other parts of the world. In my own back yard we have a cycad species that's 120 million years old.
@@dawggonevidz9140 Name a living tree 180 myo, or a cycad 120myo.
So cute that they’re born with their little throat waddle already growing! 🥰🙏🥰
One of the main things I’ve learned from this beautiful and captivating documentary…. Humans are really boring.
Fok humans
@The Snow Nigro most species of mammals have their own way of communicating, we humans just can’t understand it. So explain why animals such as dogs and elephants can’t understand human languages?
@The Snow Nigro good point, I think you win this one! Maybe we aren’t as boring as I thought after all.
You can try to imagine if you were a foreign visitor to earth. If you ask me, humans would be by far the most interesting animals to encounter on this planet. We may be the only animals in the universe who have evolved to be intelligent, and the fact that we have managed to reach this point at all is extraordinary. Its easy to forget how special we really are.
@@jinglemyberries866 The fact that complex language is our species' special adaptation makes us think we're a lot smarter than we actually are. I see a lot of humans whose behaviour isn't much more thoughtful than that of cassowaries, or feral pigs for that matter.
“In the world of Cassowary, females rule” HELL YEAH!
Great documentary, I love watching them in the wild they are a real treasure to our rainforest and it goes to show they have enough problems in the wild without us humans intervening, we need to protect these areas so our children can enjoy them as well.
They are protected.
@@raclark2730 not enough, they are still selling off land where they exist, luckily there are conservation groups that are funded by people buying it back for conservation or those areas would be developed.
@@australianbiotopes4563 Protected from wholesale clearing at least. and most forested properties are restricted use anyway. I was under the impression that you cannot just roll in the bulldozers even if you own it.
@@raclark2730 maybe not the average person, but I bet if the developers line the governments pockets it could happen eventually, at least if conservation groups get a hold of it there is less chance of that happening though, there are a lot of other places it has happened though.
@@australianbiotopes4563 Haha yeah that's probably it, rules for thee and not for me. It's good to hear the locals are keeping an eye on things.
Just fabulous...this was a very pleasant documentary to watch, just what the doctor ordered. Thank you for letting me watch it.
Wow, Bertha and Crinkle Cut's relationship is wildly interesting. Great documentary, didn't know much about these birds until watching this. Such beautiful little dinosaurs.

@@RealWild But they're not really dinosaurs are they.
@@straighttalking2090 - of course they are. Birds are living dinosaurs. Some wear their ancestry more obviously than others!
@@straighttalking2090 lol
Poor Daddy Cassowary’s all alone, no food or water, they are Beautiful. I can’t get over how much larger the female is then the male. Brilliant documentary, thank you. 👏🇦🇺 PS Whilst Mummy Cassowary goes off looking for another boyfriend. 😂 Seriously these Birds need some serious protection and their own habitat with no predators. This has been done before. The Kaputo flightless Parrot in NZ, are kept on two off mainland islands, with no Predators. Many years ago they were on the mainland, all were killed by pigs, feral cats and dogs. So the NZ government took serious action, like they did with the Kiwi. I sponsor one. Very proud of what they have done. 👏
The way that python climbed up that tree set the mood for tonight’s nightmare lol
29:56 that python is the best pole dancer i've ever seen

Excellent documentary, told in story form. Bertha definitely knows how to rule the roost. 😁
The egg colour is perfect aww
Bertha is a savage. Poor Wondu 🥺
I've never even heard of this bird. You just earned a new subscriber!
I saw it first in Zoobooks magazine back in 1992 or 1993. If you want to see lots of stuff about animals, it is great. Written for children, but adults can enjoy it too.
J.P with you there..
me too!😯
Far cry 3 introduced me to this bird.
@@perkeleejonne9702 they keep a shield in front of them when they go in their area to keep them from being disemboweled
Some great camera work, well done! Catching the boar eating the eggs, well done!
Those birds will need human intervention to survive. Wow, what a great nature film.
Absolutely! It might be a good idea to introduce them to other rain forest patches maybe fenced wide areas of hundreds of hectares where they might be safe and can keep on breeding.
Yes, shame to waste those eggs.
Hard to say how or if human intervention would benefit their survival...but so far, humans have either directly or indirectly been responsible for numerous extinctions of various species...
Bullshit. They need to be left alone.
Need intervention to survive,,,No. have you ever traveled to this part of the world? Most of it’s natural habitat is in national parks already. It’s a area where most of the natural areas the bird likes on private property are also in areas that are not worth developing due to the very high rainfall and flash flooding risks. I’ve been travelling to part of the world the last 30 years as a local having spent most of my life living in tropical Qld, very little development in this area compared to other areas in Nth Qld.
This is one of the best wildlife docus I’ve watched. Kudos to the team behind this
I like how nature provides everything you need. It is very self sustaining.

I've been through the Daintree Rainforest, one of the most amazing places I've ever been, it felt like I was thrown back in time a couple hundred million years. Definitely recommend it to any Aussies or travelling tourists.
Thus the fate of the Daintree Rainforest was sealed at 05/17/22.
@@javabytes3204 why?
@@skwisgaarskwigelf8074 Because areas which become popular locations for tourism often change in a negative way. But I'm actually not too serious. Tourism could be done in a careful way. And considering what I see in this video and read from you I would indeed love to see this place one day. My country lost nearly all its ancients woodlands.
Watching this it makes me think that dinosaurs must have been far gentler and caring than we ever give them credit for...
Until they rip your guts out. These animals are dangerous.
These birds are magnificent but extremely dangerous. You would not want to come across one
Caring towards their offspring. They have zero reason to be kind to humans.
lets not forget about crocs, snakes, monitor lizards... not exactly gentle animals. Animals are just animals, they are both gentle and verrucous.
This is so beautiful. I love this documentary. Thank you for the people behind this
We're not looking at some weird looking chicken. "Nearly 180 cm tall. And weighs 70 kg" That's 5 foot 9 inches, and 154 lbs

I guess there is few documentaries for Cassowary, i have not seen one before so this is a rare treat. This is a bird which seemed quite different to me. I once saw a Cassowary in a zoo, i was looking at it for like 10 minutes, just analyzing its behavior.

@@straighttalking2090 Not far behind? India is in 2nd place. I've seen photos that came from space that showed India as a smog cloud in the shape of the country. I've also seen graphs where China has more emissions than the rest of the industrialized world combined. I dunno. Many would say it's people that come before the planet not just a broad word such as the economy, versus losing jobs that create emissions that put food on the table. Climate change targets like in Glasgow or the Paris accords are just a pipe dream. The political will isn't there in governments such as the U.S. where it's own congress won't pass anything that hurts jobs that have emissions, and the President is helpless against them. Climate change is clearly inevitable anyway, and anything else tried in the face of 7 billion people is tilting at windmills.

This animal is amazing
Saw one of these in the wild once, and only once. Such a rare and amazing privelege to see one in the wild, luckily wife and I were in our car.
I’m so fascinated by this bird
These are amazing land birds, and it is great to see them close up in their natural habitat. Bertha is going to have to run off the female interloper…their chicks have a hard enough job staying alive once hatched…never mind having their shells broken prematurely. Nature can be unkind to Her young of all species. Cassowaries are really quite beautiful, and resourceful…but I suspect they could take down large animals intent on making a meal of the chicks.🖤🇨🇦
They arent very good fighters.

I thought that, but unfortunately her script wasn't so good.
This is amazing. Please ,mankind, assist with their survival a little bit. Thank you. Hello from Seattle USA.
Australia is. In PNG though they are still hunted for food.
Mate don't be fooled by the media hype, I live here. There is no shortage of them. One year I went for a bush walk on 2 different old loggers tracks virtually next to each other and on one track I saw 2 males both with 4 chicks and on the other track ten minutes walk away another male had 5 chicks, but it is true their not very good parents, they loose the chicks all the time. One year this one male lost his chickens a number of times & they came out of the scrub to just chill under a tree on the farm until he came around doing his rounds for food & just pick them up again. Once they get to a certain age they know the land layout pretty well. And yes they are very Territorial & we've seen them start nasty Fights on sight of another. And another thing not mentioned is they are like Rubbish bins on legs, they don't just eat nuts & fruits, we've seen them eat very big dead Rats & snakes whole also, scoffing it down in one stride & keep on walking like it was nothing.
