Dinosaur Bird Makes Alarming Noise

Occurred on May 27, 2024 / Jakarta, Indonesia

Info from Licensor: "My husband, cousin in law and I went to a bird sanctuary in the historical and cultural amusement park called Taman Mini Indah in Jakarta, Indonesia. I passed by the resident cassowary and had this interaction with her. Initially, I walked by her thinking she was a statue until she turned her head to groom herself. She made eye contact with me through the fence and started approaching us, which got me nervous. She came right by the gate and unexpectedly dinosaur roared at us. Her keeper let us know that she uses her claws to attack and this is her warning call. After she finished she resumed casually grooming herself as we watched. We were told she recently had an exam where she pretended to be sedated until her vet approached her. Suddenly she woke up and kicked him in the stomach. He was ok just bruised."
