A gamekeeper found himself running for his life in scenes that eerily resemble Jurassic Park as he was chased by the ' world's deadliest bird '.
Clayton Enoch managed to anger the cassowary while working in the countryside and was soon driving away as fast as he could on his quadbike.
The territorial bird was spooked when Clayton and a coworker entered the area in Wuthathi Country, on the Northern Cape York Peninsula, in Queensland, Australia.
But instead of running away, the bird chose violence and chased after the quad bike and with its head tucked low it reached an impressive speed - looking just like a velociraptor from Jurassic Park.
What do you think about the chase? Let us know in the comments...
In the video, the angry bird can be seen ducking under bushes and hopping over the rough terrain as it chases down the gamekeeper - who was with coworker Cameron Wilson.
Cameron said he was driving the quadbike when he became aware he was being watched, then turned around to see the bird running at full speed.
He panicked and crashed the quadbike, but thankfully Clayton pulled up and rescued his friend.
Speaking to Australian Rural and Regional News, he said: "Cam was waving at me to slow down and I was like, 'what for?'
"Then he held two fingers up to his eyes and pointed behind me and I saw the cassowary in the scrub. I thought, 'Holy s***'.
"I got whacked by a branch with green ants on it and had them crawling all over me at the same time."
Clayton pulled Cameron onto his quadbike and the pair made their escape, and later the chase was described by another coworker, Sophie Halt, as being like a scene from Jurassic Park.
A cassowary is a large, flightless bird native to the tropical forests of New Guinea and north-eastern Australia.
The birds can kill humans and other animals with their huge talons capable of ripping open flesh.

They can grow up to 6ft tall and are described by San Diego Zoo as the most dangerous bird in the world due to their "dagger-like claws".
The organisation says: "The cassowary can slice open any predator or potential threat with a single swift kick.
"Powerful legs help the cassowary run up to 31mph through the dense forest underbrush."
