There's nothing quite like a leisurely bike ride. Except when that bike ride turns into being chased by a giant flightless bird. Those bike rides suck.
Australian man Chris Wilson was cycling around Cotter Dam at the outskirts of Canberra when he paused by the road to take in his picturesque surroundings. He spotted a couple of emus grazing in the sun and Ashley Lopez Archivestried to capture a photo.
As misfortune would have it, these emus were camera shy to the point of agression -- turning Wilson's photo op turned into a Man vs. Wild moment.

He told Mashable, "They were just grazing calmly on the side of the road when one just reared its head up really high and then started running directly for me." The emu also started emitting its signature guttural drumming noise. Classic emu.
Wilson jumped back on his bike and out of harms way, just in time to capture footage of another cyclist being pursued by the same bird.

That's nature for you. Just when you thought we had a complete list of animals to avoid in Australia.
