by a large exotic bird he kept as a pet on his property in Florida, known to experts as the "world’s most dangerous bird," authorities said.in the bizarre attack by a cassowary, a flightless fowl with knife-like claws that can stand up to 6 feet tall and weigh more than 100 pounds, according to officials.
Hajos was on his property in the Gainesville suburb of Alachua when he apparently tripped and fell at about 10 a.m. on Friday. The cassowary, which looks similar to an Australian emu, then pounced on him, according to the Alachua County Sheriff's Office.Firefighters and paramedics took Hajos to a hospital, where he died, officials said.
"My understanding is that the gentleman was in the vicinity of the bird and at some point fell. When he fell, he was attacked," Deputy Chief Jeff Taylor of the Alachua County Fire Rescue Department
Daniwaffle_ wants to get ravaged by this bird.
Yeah, you don’t mess around with modern day Dinosaurs!
I think you meant Florida Man.
They are all around us here in FNQ
And when this bird is slaughtered for a nice meal, some would scream, 'animal cruelty'. Animals have been trying to kill humans since the days of Adam, but they never get any attention.😂😂😂
Dreadful! The owner knew the danger and risked the reward.
*In Florida News*....
A 75 year man should never be raising or around such a dangerous animal...sad.
Why would you keep what is essentially a velociraptor as a pet?
Oh sad, often heard man killed bird,here is reverse.
Yeah, but does he have to strut like that?
'Murica
Kazuar, in Russian. :-( Scary.
🐦I don't think anyone wants it with this bird‼️I'm not trying to go the distance with this bird let it be free‼️-ONE💯🐦
Living 75 years on this rotating rock flying through space-time. Avoiding pandemics, natural disasters, dying at war, in a foreign country, cars before seatbelts, drug addiction. And after all of that, the last thing you see before you get turned into droppings: that ugly face.
Sorry
An idiot keeping a direct descendant of Velociraptors got ended by one. There, fixed that headline for you.
Florida never disappoints
Kill those birds
