Watch: ‘World’s Deadliest Bird’ chases gamekeeper; internet compares it to real-life Jurassic Park

We have all seen Steven Spielberg’s ‘Jurassic Park’ movies, which introduced dinosaurs to us in our childhood. One iconic scene from the first ‘Jurassic Park’ (1993) still gives us goosebumps: an angry Tyrannosaurus rex, or T. rex as we know it, chasing an open-top jeep.

However, something similar and equally deadly happened to a gamekeeper and his coworker when a real-life creature resembling a dinosaur chased their vehicle.

The incident took place at Australia’s Wuthathi National Park, where Senior custodian Clayton Enoch and his coworker drove for their live after being chased by the ‘world’s deadliest bird’ – cassowary.

Enoch and his coworker were chased by the big bird after they inadvertently angered the creature while working in the countryside.

Cassowaries are flightless birds that are native to the tropical forests of New Guinea and northeastern Australia.

The video of the dramatic chase may be old, but it is still making the rounds on social media platforms. People have compared the chase to the iconic scene from Jurassic Park and have commented that the cassowary in the video looks like a velociraptor from the movie.

In the video, the big bird is seen running on rough terrain to chase the quad bike.

The clip was posted on the Facebook page of Wuthathi Aboriginal Corporation on 29 July, 2022. It has now collected over 2.21 lakh views.

Smaller only than the ostrich and emu, southern cassowary is the third-tallest and second-heaviest living bird in the world. These birds can kill smaller animals and humans with their huge talons. However, they mainly feed plant food and don’t prey animals.
