[00:00:27]in the tropical rainforests of Indonesia and northern Australia lives a giant bird known as the modern dinosaur.

[00:00:41]It cannot fly, but it possesses incredible strength, speed, and deadly claws.

[00:00:49]This is the casawary, an ancient bird that has survived for millions of years and one of the most mysterious creatures in the world.

[00:01:03]Standing up to 1.8 m tall and weighing nearly 70 kg, it is one of the largest birds on Earth. Even without the ability to fly, the casawary can run up to 50 km per hour.

[00:01:27]What makes this bird truly terrifying are its razor sharp claws and powerful kicks.

[00:01:41]It mostly eats fallen fruits found deep in the rainforest, but sometimes it also feeds on insects, small animals, and fungi.

[00:02:10]During breeding season, the female begins laying several large green eggs.

[00:02:16]After laying the eggs, the female leaves and the male begins guarding them.

[00:03:19]By the fourth day, the female finishes laying her eggs. After that, the female will leave the nest and never return.

[00:03:28]The male then takes over, incubating the eggs all by himself.

[00:03:51]The male begins incubating the eggs, a process that takes around 50 days.

[00:04:09]While guarding the eggs, the male becomes extremely aggressive. He will protect them at all costs, attacking anything that gets too close.

[00:05:00]A wild dog suddenly approaches the nest.

[00:05:03]The male immediately becomes aggressive.

[00:05:07]Without hesitation, he launches a powerful attack. Using its sharp claws, the casawary strikes with deadly force.

[00:05:28]The wild dog is quickly driven away, leaving the nest untouched.

[00:06:01]After 50 days, one of the eggs finally begins to hatch.

[00:06:13]Not long after hatching, the young chick is already able to follow the male, searching for food.

[00:06:37]By day 52, the egg has finally hatched.

[00:06:41]Together, the young chicks follow the male wherever he goes.

[00:07:34]The young casawaries begin to grow much bigger. bigger, their bodies become stronger and they slowly learn to survive in the wild.

[00:07:44]Even at a young age, they already start exploring on their own, but they still remain under the protection of the male.

[00:09:07]As time passes, dot it grows stronger and more independent.

[00:09:12]Little by little. Dot, it no longer depends on the male.

[00:10:12]In the end, the casawaryi remains deep within the forest. But as more forests are destroyed, the place they call home continues to shrink.

[00:10:32]Maybe one day this ancient creature will only remain as a memory because protecting the forest means protecting the life that depends on it.

[00:11:07]Yeah.
