I can hear the dinosaur in it…

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee 1 points 2 hours ago

Like it ate a little dinosaur? But how??

[-] thegreatgarbo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Husband: I want one of those! /s

Wife: who needs a rooster when you can hear that all night long??

[-] stelelor@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 day ago

Sounds just like the sounds newer trucks make when they back up: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=A3Wt1_51EVA

[-] Skates@feddit.nl 3 points 1 day ago

This is 90% what I expected a kiwi to sound like.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

I don't believe this is a real animal.

[-] thegreatgarbo@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Birds aren't real

[-] wabafee@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

It's a fruit

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 31 points 1 day ago

When it ran away was pretty great.

My job here is done! Away!

[-] capital@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

“Until next time”

[-] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 25 points 1 day ago

This is the sound of an animal with no natural predators.

[-] LennethAegis@fedia.io 2 points 7 hours ago

Nonsense, I remember watching a documentary as a kid that the tasmanian devil would spin around into a little tornado and eat kiwis.

[-] macrocarpa@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

If memory serves me correctly it's named for the sound it makes

Kiiiiii wiiiiiiii

[-] Syd@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago

Yeah its exactly like a Pokemon. I had no idea they went "kiwi kiwi" in a cute voice like this.

[-] oce@jlai.lu 118 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I like how it leaves in a swiggity swooty fashion.

[-] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 4 points 5 hours ago

Truly a doofus of a bird.

[-] papalonian@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago

How have I never noticed that these goobers don't have arms or nothin. I can't imagine this thing walking in any way other than a swiggity swooty approach.

This is God's creature right here.

[-] tabarnaski@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 day ago

I had to rewatch the video to make sure I got an exact image of what swiggity swooty means

[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 80 points 2 days ago

Ah, so the kiwi has a bird body but still uses its dinosaur voice.

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

All birds use their dinosaur voices.

[-] Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com 83 points 2 days ago

I thought kiwis spoke English.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

My favorite author is a kiwi who writes In English and teaches it, but for all I know she sounds like the video

Nightmare Potato.

[-] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

Screams of a thousand dark souls...

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 26 points 1 day ago

I eat kiwi all the time and I ain't never heard them make a sound.

[-] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 day ago

They're obviously dead before they put the them out at the grocery store. I bet you don't see yours running around outside either.

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 50 points 2 days ago

There is currently chaos in my house. I played this on my phone without headphones and my dogs have absolutely lost their shit. The Miniature Pinscher, being a Miniature Pinscher, was barking and spinning and occasionally attacking his spaniel brother who just has this "WTF BRO" face of horror on. Mayhem.

PS: He's calmed down...after a close to ten minute freak out.

[-] thegreatgarbo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Yep, our Iggy ran all the way out to the back yard prancing around tail up, barking at the intruder back inside the house. The other two are sitting in bed with me with a 'wtf was that!' expression.

[-] tpihkal@lemmy.world 35 points 2 days ago
[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 25 points 2 days ago

As it goes with Min-Pins, he couldn't give less of a shit the second time around. He's over it.

[-] kaffiene@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

My cat just had a very similar response =)

Sounds just like the fruit.

[-] expatriado@lemmy.world 28 points 2 days ago

slowed down would sound like the stereotypical t-rex

[-] GiddyGap@lemm.ee 24 points 2 days ago

Also a very interesting run style.

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 24 points 2 days ago

So melodious.

[-] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

I actually wasn't expecting it to be that shade of color either.

[-] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

They are brown - just looks like that with the spotlight

[-] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Thanks! Was about to ask about the Darwinian prospects of a flightless, wingless avian colored like a medium rare steak.

[-] OpenStars@discuss.online 20 points 2 days ago

I suddenly understand the inspiration behind shows like Lost being made:-).

That's some Jurassic Park stuff, right there

[-] user1234@lemmynsfw.com 14 points 2 days ago

Sounds like a slipping serpentine belt.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
