An even scarier fact: the Amazon is the single most important forest on the planet and in the last 50 years over 20% of it has been cut down and burnt. The breaking point of the forest is said to be 25% of deforestation, and when that happens the balance of the forest will be so off that it might deforest itself. The amazon also literally creates its own climate (the trees and other plants siphon water and release it as gas) and it is the reason its always raining there. So IF the forest were to be destroyed it would affect the climates of more than 10 ocuntries in ways we don't know yet. TLDR: 20% of the earths biggest forest gone in 50 years and it might destroy itself and alter the climates around it if 25% of it gets destroyed.
@@poulinhp ah, that "screw you I got mine / well you're gonna die anyway so what's the point of anyone else living past the point in which you perish" mindset.
3:11 fun fact: my dad went to the Amazon forest as a rural doctor (Artículo 8 aquí en Venezuela) and sometimes people came with wounds of arrows with this poison, which was INCREDIBLY dangerous because the person stops breathing. There the only option is do assisted ventilation and wait to worn it out, but super effective to hunt monkeys ;)
How would the monkey be safe to consume after being shot with enough poison to kill a man? Genuinely curious, like is there a style of preparation that makes it safe or??
@@massdysfunkton No surprise here, actually 1) Even the slightest warming could be enough for messing up the chemical features of some substances. So I don't think it's necessary to invent some fancy ways of cooking. 2) The poison within monkey's body doesn't have to stay intact as if it was in container. It has to go through chemical reactions. Suppose you made monkey to drink some liquor. Will you become drunk if you consume its meat after that? Probably not, since the alcohol already reacted in its flesh. 3) Most importantly, we are not even sure those monkeys were supposed to be eaten. They could be hunted for sport (which is sad) or just exterminated after trying to steal crops or fruits (which is reasonable).
I’m noticing a theme of increasing closeness. First, it was space, then the ocean, then Antarctica, now the Rainforest, what’s next, Psychology? After all, Tugg is getting gradually closer to us…
@@Kody_Rulez I didn't even notice you misspelled anything. I thought you meant what you originally had. I wasn't correcting you, I meant Tugg would create a video of scary words he legitimately thought shouldn't exist. 🙂
They asked a tribal man that recently exposed himself to civilization,(due to cartels and loggers murdering members of his tribe) what he was afraid of and he said "the only thing i am scared of is a jaguar".
I just imagined an old heavily bearded guy with a deep raspy voice turn back to me and say "lets go learn some shit" and then shoots a laser into the amazon rainforest. 8:15
I live in the Amazon and can confirm that we will die by an unknown things every time. But raiforest has a lot of indigenous people that didnt need to go through school to learn shit, and if you go to the forest with them, you will avoid most awful things, and even if you are attacked/affected by some of the deadly stuff, they will give you some plants (that can probably also cure cancer), do a dance, sing, pull some smoke and youre good to go.
As someone who's special interest is ants, I morbidly love it when people learn about the insane pain a bullet ant can cause. There's a reason why they're my favorite ant species And what I think is funny, it's not even lethal and there's even a whole tradition in the Sateré Mawé community to intentionally get stung by one as an initiation into adulthood.
@@fable4735 YES!! I love them!! I love the way they cut up and carry pieces of leaves. I also LOVE how they're little farmers! They use the leaves they collect to use as fertilizer for farms of fungi that they use to feed their larva. They're such cool little fellas
arachnophobia/entomophobia warning from 9:30 to basically the rest of the video thanks im going to hibernate in my 1-bedroom apartment until the outside world stops makin crazy horrifying shit :) (all the same, protect the rainforests and natural places, y'all. shit's important to the planet or whatever)
I did not see this comment until after I saw creature #2 which made me scream and drop my phone on the floor. I was not prepared for that at all even though I know that they have giant spiders there 😬😬😬
You may or may not read this, but you're doing such an incredible job. It's incredibly tough this content creation work, no word of a lie, because of the amount of mental stress that comes from it, and you handle it very well. You're my new favorite channel. Thank you.
i went to the amazon rainforest like two years ago and i straight up discovered a new species of tree 💀💀 it is a lovely place though, ignoring the mafias that keep jaguars as pets in a mini zoo but oh well
3:52 Tugg.... It's a rainforest, of course it will flood. It's called RAINforest, the thick forest INVITES rain, rainforests are one of a few variables that influence the earth's climates and weather. If you create a new forest, you will create a new weather pattern like that one Indian guy did.
Guys the Amazon Rainforest is a perfect example of what would happen if we give a whole half continent good land, heck ton of rain, some greedy trees, and a lot of time and isolation
tugg has honestly become and inspiration to me. the amount of research he puts into every single fucking video... i want to have the executive function that he has
I live in the borneo rainforest and a lot of things that usually don't fly or glide do that here, like the flying snake, gliding frog and flying squirrel.
The boiling river is so hot it can cook a cow If it fell in. Which is terrifying... But not as terrifying as the fact that the boiling river is SO HOT that if you wanted to eat that cow it wouldn't just be overdone, but BURNT
Everything should be taught at the school of Tugg. My kids (and me) would actually pay attention and want to learn more if this guy taught everything. His methods should be used worldwide. The world would be a smart, interesting, and entertaining place. School me Tugg! 👏
I used to have a blue Goliath Bird Eating Tarantula he was awesome I was 5 when i got him and I'm currently 14 and my daily morning routine was to brush my teeth put Buddy (my Tarantula) on my shoulder and watch Regular show with him until my mom came back home from work
He'll lose his shit with the part about how we know so much about the food chain in the U.S. was from Yellowstone kicking us in the balls when we killed too many wolves. It changed how rivers flow... cause we hunted wolves..... oh and the colorful boiling ponds, etc bodies of water that people die in every year, the out of control bear population that yogi bear tried to warn us about feeding, and the fact tourist walk anywhere near bison assuming nothing could ever or will ever go wrong... Yellowstone is unique in its flavor of nad kicking glory
Can't wait for Tugg to know about the fact that there is a native tradition that involves Bullet Ants as a rite of passage into adulthood by wearing dozens of those bad boys inside of big ass gloves and the members don't have to react to them at all to pass
There's a horrifying thing you missed: one of the possible reasons why explorers thought that natives were less sophisticated than they were is because a lot of prior civilizations were likely consumed by Amazonian forests after they fell. So El Dorado spirits haunting the woods is not out of the bingo card.
A fun fact is that sometimes, when there's floods, Dolphins wander on the flooded land and when the water drains out they just lay there and try to crawl to the river again, but they usually just get eaten
Why the hell hasn't Casual Geographic talked about giant centipedes hunting like that? That's what I need to know. Thank you, Tugg. But great videos, man. I've loved every 1 I've seen. Keep up the good work 😂👌
Hey tugger, yeah jaguars are no joke. When i was in Guatemala, i had to take a dump at night and didnt wanna wake everyonee in the camper so i went to the bathrooms outside. I saw two pairs of eyes watching me walk the 100 feet and the guys working there told me i almost died lol
Fun fact: bullet ants are sometimes used as primitive sutures because their bite is so strong their heads stay attached to you if you rip off their bodies :)
It's like Six Flags New England - a death trap. Yeah, I've been on the Mind Eraser. Felt like being thrown in a blender. Great analogy! Would love to see you do a comparison of which is more likely to kill you - the Amazon or Australia. Keep up the good work!
There are also bull sharks that can swim up the river, you're just chilling on the river and see a fin swim past you like oh hey a shark fin... WAIT A SHARK FUCKIN FIN?!

This is government fear mongering, don't believe everything you read.
I feel the Amazon is like the ocean,space,and Antarctica. Humans were never meant to go there, and we should stay the fuck away
that's much worse than I thought, can countries just stop fighting each other and focus on this instead because it would be catastrophic
Gotta go sometime
@@poulinhp ah, that "screw you I got mine / well you're gonna die anyway so what's the point of anyone else living past the point in which you perish" mindset.
As a Brazillian that doesn't live near the amazon and never got near it i can confirm it's terrifying

I can’t wait to tugg in

Only 11 hours before we get another Tugging

Another TUGGING?!? Im sorry what are we tugging?!?

2 things terrify me about the Amazon, giant bugs and giant parasites that swim into holes
Look up the Candiru fish!

No!

I like how when he tries to lie or stretch the truth, he just is immediately honest
One of the most sinister things is how dense the forest is. It is IMPOSSIBLE to walk in a straight line
The Amazon Rainforest is truly the real life Skull Island

That New England Six Flags joke really hit home, good one Tugg
I always watch Tuggs videos multiple times because there’s so many hilarious jokes that go lightning fast and are clever af
"Normal Jim" - yeah i caught that 😂😂😂😂

as an amazonian I aprove this message
“Aminals” has always been the cutest thing to me 😂
Hey Tugg, you good bro?
"Circular ditches" *shows squares* 😭
Fun fact, someone on the channel Clint's Reptiles got stung by a bullet ant and said that their migraines were worse.
Ok… maybe the next video is you eating your favorite gas station snacks while ranking them and showing us things you’ve taught your cat to do.
"Known for trees, the aminals..." This was the most big tugg intro ever
So Amazon is basically just moist Australia
tuggletts, if i may have your attention. His tugginson have announced, WE ARE TO BE FED BY SUNRIZE! REJOICE
Giant Centipede: "Wanna know how it hunts? It hangs upside down in caves and eats bats OFF THE FUCKING WALL!"
The boiling river is so hot it can cook a cow If it fell in. Which is terrifying... But not as terrifying as the fact that the boiling river is SO HOT that if you wanted to eat that cow it wouldn't just be overdone, but BURNT
"I'm afraid of my kitchen at night" 😂😂😂 Bruh, seriously tho, same
Tuff deserves a break maybe just one video where he won’t have a mental breakdown

Top three places that is very dangerous to visit:
3. Antartica
2. Amazon
1. Australia (especially the Maccas Drive through)
Despite all these horrifying hostile environments, man still had the courage to explore them all.

Don't forget the "Candiru", a small freshwater fish, just one or two inches long ... yeah, just look it up.

Yes‼️‼️🗣️🗣️
The Amazon is honestly more scary to me than the ocean and space COMBINED so I’m glad your covering how shitty it is +10 TuggBucks

As a Brazilian, I can say we are also very sacred of it, but some people live really close to it😊
"I cry when a mosquito bites me." Same, Tugg, same.
Never thought I'd see jaguars in the same category as worms lmao
If it makes you feel better, there's so many kinds of frogs there and they're all adorable!
I love the fact that there are pictures of people just holding these horifying insects
Bro they don't even understand the DIRT there. Like it apparently is man made. The fucking dirt dude.
Also, "Normal Jim " got me😂
Comedic gold seeing Tugg loose his shit about a giant centipede
