Charles Darwin noted that animals who bite as an attack and have moveable ears pretty much all put their ears back when they're contemplating violence. He figured it was an adaptation to avoid having their ears bitten off while fighting rivals.
I did pet horses when I was younger, that were on a field or whatever, but even as a kid/ Teenager I just waited if the horse came over and didn't get closer to it myself. You just shouldnt pet animals that are that powerful if they don't know you and don't Show any sign of Wanting you to.
I encountered a female deer one day as I walked back from my mailbox. As I turned around I was face to face with it. I stood still as she did. Its head was so big. I’m 5 feet 2 inches. That deer had to have been six feet. It towered over me. For a few seconds we just stood there. Then I moved my head and she ran away. Thank goodness because she could’ve stomped me down. It was magnificent
"(...) she could have stomped me down. It was magnificent." 😂😂😂 fantastic final words to an incredible encounter xD Glad that you both got out without harm, and now you have this cool story to tell^^ thanks for sharing
That had to be an elk. Never heard of a 6ft deer before. I once was sitting by my pool around 10pm. The lights were out so I sent my niece inside to get the pool remote. As I sat there in my chair, my little dog started barking. I told him to be quiet a couple times then thought to myself, “wait… what’s he barking at?” I stood up and turned around only to realize a doe was standing right behind me with her head over my chair. lol she’d basically been sniffing my hair.
@@IratePuffin Could have been an elk, but it could have been a red deer as well. Those get almost as big as elk do, and if one stood with it's head held up, its eyeline would be higher than 5 ft. I used to visit the Canadian Rockies pretty regularly and you see elk all the time. They can get truly huge. One time I was stopped on the highway because a herd of elk were crossing the road, and the dominant male of the group walked right in front of my vehicle. His shoulder was higher than my station wagon, and his antlers were stunning, I had never seen one with such huge antlers. Truly in the prime of his life. I'm glad that so much of the Canadian Rockies has been sectioned into national parks so that people can't hunt and kill specimens like him, because he'd be a goner otherwise.
@K.C-2049 that particular incident was in Jasper Park, on the highway into town. I've seen them around Canmore too though! I think the southern rockies get a lot more tourism because it's so close to Calgary, so its much busier. So the elk and sheep there are way more comfy with people. I was in Radium last summer and there was a herd of sheep just wandering all over town the whole weekend. You could just walk right by them as if they were regular townsfolk out for a stroll 😂 they paid no attention to us. You can't be quite that close to the animals in Jasper, in my experience. They get way more nervous even if you're just walking past without looking at them. Also I'm jealous you live in Canmore it's do beautiful there, and the folk festival is amazing.
Those two idiots provoking a gosh darn moose!!!! I grew up in a town in Canada that gets a lot of moose, we literally have a moose watch facebook group so everyone can have an idea where they are so we can live harmoniously.
I knew someone who grew up in Alaska. He told me his elementary school has Moose Drills on the playground to teach children how to avoid being injured.
Absolutely. I'm from central Europe and even I know that moose can be very dangerous and are responsible for many incidents including wild animals in the area where they live. Similar to knowing that hippos in Africa cause more injuries in humans than lions. And I don't think that knowledge comes from the fact that I'm a biologist (entolomogist/arachnologist). Even if you had no clue whatsoever, one might think common sense would still make you cautious at least...
@@mangantasy289I’m already wary of horses. I dont wanna spook them and get kicked. So in no way would I ever test my luck with deers and moose. In my area, boars are the only danger. They can roam the streets at night.
@@n0rmal953 I have respect for all animals, and the bigger the more considering my won safety as well. And about danger, similar in my region about boars, and even they rarely cause any physical damage in people. Most people needing treatment because of injuries caused by animals are cat, dog and horse owners.
Can we just give a round of applause for neon shirt guy who just jumped on the back on an alligator while on vacation during an emergency? Like holy crap.
The girl with the alligator was a trooper. She stayed calm because she was showing the alligator to kids. She went back to handling gators after she healed up.
My cat brought home an adult male blackbird once. It was 100% ok and alive, not a single feather out of place. It wasn't even bleeding. No puncture wounds anywhere, just a bit of cat saliva on it. After I let it go, I scolded my cat (simple "don't do that, bad cat") and she slunk in under my bed for the next 4-5 hours before coming back out. After that she never brought in anything. She did like to sit outside and look at the birds, and just chilled with the female roedeer that used to come around with her fawns. They even cuddled under a small tree we had together one winter 😂 I do really miss that cat a lot. No joke she was my best friend. She'd insist on being a pillow each night (even nipping my neck/shoulder if I went to bed without her). She walked me part of the way to school, and was there to pick me up, no matter the weather. Snow 3-4 times her height? No problem, she'd jump between the steps other people had taken. Rainstorm? No worries, she had a strange love for water. She also seemed to know when I was sad, even before I did. She'd come out of nowhere, meowing and jumping into my lap to give hugs and kisses.
I love sharing stories of my silly, but lovable cat. I swear sometimes she acted more like a dog than a cat. I do really miss her, but I'm also pretty sure her ghost is following me.
@@AIuzky where I live we have barely any predators. Not many endangered species either. Do you think I'd let my cat outside if she'd be in danger? No, I wouldn't. So you can keep your opinion to yourself.
We had outdoor cats all through my childhood. They were fine Nothing irresponsible about outdoor cats. For close to 30 years we never had one go astray, or get hurt being outside in a suburban area. @@AIuzky
she sounds like a dog, picking you up from school n what not. sounds just like my mom’s dog. he would chase them miles, sometimes he’d run out to find my mom and wait at the door for her return. hate to say it but most cats are not that smart! they’ve only been around us for a couple thousand years, weren’t domesticated to be at our side. so naturally their emotional intelligence is usually not so sharp. i mean some dog’s aren’t either but it’s not nearly as uncommon as a cat with such extreme intellect. what a special kitty!
Found somebody's escaped African Grey in the woods by my high school during winter in Upstate NY. A girl who had birds of her own had everyone back away and actually talked it down from the tree it was in and got it to land on her arm, and let her put it inside her hoodie to warm it up. Tried to find an owner but nobody ever tried to claim it, so one of our teachers ended up keeping it and had a cage built in her classroom. It ended being the coolest most mellow large parrot I have ever seen.
One of my favorite things about Moose is the privilege to see them in person. Because yes on a video they are big, sure. Seeing the size of a moose in person is still one of the most insane things Ive experienced in my life. They really stepped out of the Pleistocene and said “and what”
I fully agree. I once saw a full blooded Shire horse of well above peak size and muscle mass, because the local breeders were trying to reawaken the old nordic warhorse genetics that were lost to time, and well, they made terrifying progress with that horse as an example. Big, well muscled, very intelligent, well trained and very social. A beautiful animal and truly awe inspiring to behold.
Darth Gator is not an exotic pet. He’s an animal ambassador in a Utah reptile zoo. Lindsay is just a badass employee who’s still working with him after what happened to her.
@@reneerougeaux7046 He is a wild animal not able to be released to the wild, so he is in care and helping teach people about his amazing species. You don't need to act like a stunted human about it.
She also said that she was in the wrong. She put her hand where he determined it was food and fought like hell to make sure he didn't get put down which is disgusting . When it's obvious it's human error why put a animal down for doing what's natural to them
Thanks for the update. Glad Lindsay ok. Truely a ln amazing person to still work with the gator. I noticed how calm she was during the incident... The bloke who lept on the back gets plenty of admiration too. 😮😮😮 Wow
what else is she supposed to do? within a stade of life and death state, def can lead you to act oddly calm as the adrenalin makes you not even feel much pain
I own a pet cornsnake. He has been handled by people since two weeks old. If he decides to bite me, the damage will be superficial. If he gets out, he might make someone scream or hurt themself out of fear. Big snakes are cool, but I think that anything bigger than 10 feet should not be a pet without some sort of permit. They are usually "chill," but when they go into "attack mode," they can be super dangerous.
The issue with that python wasn't even 'attack mode', that snake was in food mode. In a very small cage, in the same room as a rat or mouse breeding rack. (That's in the background behind the woman). Realistically that snake was kept in pretty poor condition if it is constantly kept in that enclosure, judging by it's poor shed too.. The whole thing was the woman doing everything wrong. The snake was looking for food and she decided to touch it instead of move away and give it a bit to snap out of the food response or use some sort of barrier to physically block it before it could reach her. All the fear mongering around non-venomous or rear-fang venomous snakes is really unfortunate. (But yes, people like that woman really shouldn't own such big snakes. Let's leave those to professionals like the Snake Discovery folks
@@robinmartincic289Thant's why I highly encourage tap-training or target-training any animal that has the physical ability to be dangerous when looking for food. You gotta be clear with them if there's going to be food happening or not since they don't switch out of hunting mode easily, and they're very much creatures of habit. If you only open the enclosure at feeding time, that's going to trigger a food response even if that's not what you're doing.
So the boy that was attacked by the dog and the cat body slams the dog, the cats name is Tara. The little boy is on the autism spectrum and has been said that Tara is very to be motherly towards the boy. The fact that Tara came back after chasing off the dog just shows you the bond between ths two. The reason why I say that is to make sure he is ok and the other is to make sure the dog doesn't come back
I live in Texas and we have rattlesnakes. A friend who has a small ranch with horses, keeps a donkey with her horses because they will stomp snakes to smithereens. Maybe it’s just her donkey, but she says it’s kind of an a-hole too.
@@eowyn7179A lot of donkeys will also go after anything vaguely canine shaped. It's very on-sight with them, that make great livestock guardian animals
As a Canadian, I'm always amazed by how many people think moose are just big placid creatures that aren't dangerous. They are MASSIVE, way bigger than you expect them to be, and incredibly strong. Males in season (like the video shown here) or mothers with babies are the most dangerous as they will get more territorial and/or defensive. But any old moose can do a lot of damage, so give them space!
Your comments about horse curiosity. I had the privilege of working with the wonderful Tom Dorrance. One thing he would say quite regularly, "People say curiosity killed the cat, but I tell you what. It was the horse what got killed." Horse curiosity is nearly (but not quite) on a level with parrots or primates. Yeah, they do kick fast too. I trained horses for many years, and occasionally, even those of us who are experienced end up in a compromising situation. I have, on two separate occasions, been kicked by a horse when the people watching did not even see the kick happen. They were looking right at the horse at the time of the kick, and only saw a flinch. Horses are super fast, and ponies are even faster! Haha!
So, for a lot of these reptile bites, including Darth Gator who bit the young woman, had what's called a feeding response. The young woman bitten by the gator spoke to Clint of Clint's Reptiles back when it happened. You can learn more there. For the python, once a snake gets that big, it is suggested that you handle them with a companion. Like any large animal, they can be dangerous when hungry or scared.
From what I've seen, most of the time people get in trouble with big reptile bites it's because of a food response. They generally aren't super persistent about attacking out of defensiveness (unless very cornered). Once they have an opening to flee, they will (unless there's eggs involved)
I watched another video that used that clip as an example of how NOT to handle a large snake. They said you don't treat it like a dog... the snake was hungry and was showing hunting behavior which was why it was so intent on reaching the woman... it saw her as a meal.
@@qa377 It looked like it was shedding too, I heard a lot of snakes bite at that time because they have worse vision and mistake your appendages for food lol. Also it makes them grumpy.
My cat brought me 7 voles one night. 2 on the floor at the foot of the bed. 1 in the hall 2 on the stairs 1 in the living room 1 in the kitchen A literal trail to our back sliding door I loved her, too
I was on holiday in Banff, Canada & walked out to my car one morning and found an elk standing next to it with splayed legs, head down 'hoovering' a puddle next to the car. I stopped, it raised its head to look at me but didn't move. I spoke softly & backed slowly away whilst reaching for my camera. The elk resumed its drink & I got some great photos and an amazing experience! 😃
lol I live in Canmore AB (down the road from Banff) and they definitely are pretty comfy with humans around here. I've quite literally almost run into them while out jogging far too many times.
Dr. Ann Jones is the BEST! Considering her background, her spontaneous reactions are a real joy! You’d think she’s already seen everything but her enthusiasm for the types and kinds of differences in animals and the results of their interactions with humans is refreshing and educational. Ann, can I take you to lunch?
Lived in Alaska off and on for a bit when my family moved up there. They were there four years but I was very much not a fan of it lol but the moose can be terrifying. I get you say they don’t tend to go for humans unprovoked, but there was this one moose that was legit a bully in the neighborhood I lived in😅 it KNEW when people would be heading to work, when buses would show up, when kids would typically be outside to play and it would be waiting in hiding for these times. It was a male (you could very clearly tell if yaknow what I’m saying) and it was not rutting season. There was one time that it was across the street and I was trying to go outside and every single time I opened the front door it would start aggressively walking and hugging towards me. One time my brother and I decided to see where it goes at dark. We got in my parents van and followed it. It was a bit difficult to see at times, but we managed to track it all the way to a mountain about 30 minutes away!!!! This moose was walking 30 minutes every day to come terrorize the people where I lived 😂 idk what happened to cause it to decide to do that, but I respect the commitment and the pettiness
Moose can smell scarily well, so I wouldn't be surprised if someone who lived there had pissed it off and it was coming for revenge. They're terrifying and reinforce my woods mantra: do not frick with things with hooves. Traditional predators will just kill you. Hooved things will stomp you into the dust for the joy of it.
The channel Clint’s reptile did an interview with the woman that was getting rolled by the alligator at the start. This was at an experience event with children, tends and other adults getting a feeding encounter to watch. Thankfully she had very little damage done to her hand. Her arm was twisted in such a way when it was grabbed that the roll end up just straightening her arm. The dude that jumped in on the alligator? He wasn’t an employee. He wasn’t a volunteer. He was just a reptile geek that just kinda knew what to do and didn’t want to wait for more staff to come running in while the risk for her being rolled and losing her hand/arm was incredibly high. Once he said on the alligator and kept it from rolling, the girl being bitten had to tell him what to do. He had no idea how to get out of the situation! He said he just couldn’t leave her hanging. Other staff don’t come rolling in until this random dude is sitting on this alligator.
Buster wasn’t letting out anger. He just has a thing about knocking things over so his owners will put stacks of things around so he can knock them over. He’s so funny when he raises a foot, stares at you, while slowly knocking it over. He also will pick up the orange cup and holler in it to hear the reverb. He rants to his human Dad, L when he gets home from work, to tell him about his day, whether it’s good or bad. He loves to talk about going to the dog play group, or Ohio ( his owners don’t know why either, but Buster alway says he’s going there). He loves the trampoline and more. Buster is a hoot! Great that there was someone there to help that woman with the python. I don’t think she would have gotten away.
Yeah, that snake was not just in food mode. Looking at that room, the woman has zero knowledge on how to properly deal with a snake that large. It in all likelyhood does not like her at all. If a snake actually likes you, it is way quicker on letting go if it accidentally mistook your hand for a rat while in food mode. The very first taste of your blood would clue it in that you are not a rat, because rat tastes and feels different than human does. This one went for full compression and even started to go for a wrap around her neck. If that man had not been present it would propably have managed to kill her. She propably feeds it way to little, gives it way to small a living space and next to no proper intraction, wether training, play or socialisation.
There is actually an awesome video (two now) by Clints Reptiles interviewing the woman from the first video. The gator in the video is Darth Gator and she still works with him at their facility to this day. The guy on the alligator is Donny Weisman who was just a bystander and basically saved her life - he's a real one.
As an equestrian I can confirm that bites hurt so much even several days later so does falling, just fell yesterday and did a front flip at full canter off her and broke my arm
Great to see your vids Ann. Thank you! btw, small cats are brilliant predators, And they are also ( evolutionary speaking ) prey animals. This can explain a lot of "weird" behavior that people talk about. The hyper reflexes to get away fast, wanting to be up high to survey the area. * big cats, dogs, big birds, Scavengers getting at the kittens, * yes I love my rescue kitties, NO they are not allowed out.
I tap trained my boa, so he knew he was not going to be fed. I have been bitten when he was accidentally frightened. He let go immediately and the damage was very minimal. When keepers do stupid things, they win stupid prizes.
The fact he said sould i keep filming is a BETTER reaction than other people they keep recording without asking if they sould help so that man is a MAN himself
I live in Spain. One day, driving home from Barcelona, we took the back roads to avoid the traffic jams. Going by all the farm lands when a farmer pulled out in front of us in his truck. In the back of the truck, laying down and facing towards us was a donkey. He just stared at us with those stoic eyes bouncing along the gravelly roads until we approached another farm where the farmer turned in. We were laughing so hard and to this day I have no idea how this farmer got a donkey to lay down in the back of his flat bed truck! Something tells me though that it wasn't his first time doing that. I wish I had a video of that.
When I worked with animals, especially captive wild animals, I always told people when they asked "does it bite" that if it has a mouth, it bites. Even with my dog, who had never bitten anyone at the time I'd say, "she hasn't bitten anyone yet, but she could." When I worked with snakes I got bit because I forgot to wash my hands between feeding the hawks and owls rats, and cleaning their cages. The snake was expecting a meal that day as well. Hurt like hell but that was my fault.
That guy who got bitten by the horse was so lucky. His hand happened to land in the area of the horses' mouth where there are no teeth. It's the area where the bit sits in their mouth when they have a bridle on .
So my dad is a nurse and me and one of my sisters were going through one of his medical books. We were comparing the STI pictures to horse bite pictures to see which was worse, like ick wise. Horse bites won hands down.
I will firmly stand by the stance that Pythons should not be at home pets. There size alone is terrifying and you also have the people who don’t know how to care for them, and then they get too big and instead of giving them to rescues/ zoos who can actually care for them they are irresponsible and release them into the wild and also puts other wildlife/people at risk.
And they can eat entire children. And they’re not affectionate or very interesting, people feed them live animals, which is cruelty, and…if you want a reptile, tortoises can be genuine interactive pets. Not my cup of tea, but they aren’t harmful.
@@stillhere1425all pets ARE affectionate in so many ways and different snakes or reptiles can be extremely interesting? Only a slim few snakes can actually eat something larger than a medium sized dog. You’ve clearly never owned a snake…if you don’t want one awesome but don’t put down an entire species along with the people that own them.
@@Jimmythejerboa nothings gonna happen, people are allowed pitbulls and anacondas and boomslangs and crocodiles etc etc. For every hour you have to legislate and enforce laws, idiots have just as much time each, are a million stronger in numbers, and every single last one of them thinks they're not the problem, "Stanley was a fat housecat, I'm sure he's just moved. I'll just get another one just the same." Nobody is individually the problem.
I've seen people who work with/own exotic animals talk about that lady and said she is kind of known for not taking good care of the reptiles in her care(i.e poor habits, improper nutrition, etc.)
First thing I thought at the initial behavior of the snake, is that something was wrong. I've never been a snake owner, I just like to learn about them. Yet even I, a person who has never owned one, could see the snake was not in a good way. Most pythons and boas that have proper handling and nutrition, do not act that way towards their handlers. My thought is that there is something going on with this snake. Poor nutrition most likely. Treating a human like a food item is absolutely not normal.
I suspect the snake was hungry, my sister had snakes when she belonged to a reptile club. She fed her snakes a variety of foods, insects and rodents (expensive!) kept them docile and easy to handle.
@@jeanne2b2b22 Most snakes don't eat insects.. but yes, that snake was in food mode, because of the scent of rodents in the room/on the woman considering there's a rat/mouse breeding rack behind her in that clip
The snake was in food mode. it thought it was being fed and the heat signature of a hand looks a lot like a rat. It is important to teach giant snakes to target feed. If they don't see the target then they are not being fed. Keepers also use a snake hook to stroke the back of the snake before touching them to signal that they are not feeding.
I absolutely love the clip of the little dog that accidentally taps the electric fence, yelps then runs away. and the donkey walks over to the edge of the fence Braying. Sounds and looks like it's laughing at the dog
my husband caught a beat down from a deer in his grandmas yard when he was a kid. instead of coming to help, his fam stayed inside and took pictures, hand on heart, i seen 'em.
The surgeons who put the alligator guy's head back together did a fantastic job. You can barely see any scars or deformities after such a devastating attack.
This is the first time I`ve seen a video of yours, and I must say I loved it. I learned some things I didn`t know and you made me laugh out loud! Thank you!
I was kicked in the chest once by a horse. I believe that cardiac arrest immediatly, specially after a certain age. With me I got a few bruised ribs and got the air knocked out of me; was winded for almost a minute. It was the first time ( sadly not the last time) in my life I got winded and was 12, it was scary af and for the whole time I thought I was going to die. Getting kicked by a horse is no joke.
That first video still gets me. I saw it as a viral clip, and then I saw her interview on Clint's Reptiles. That woman is a certified coldblooded badass. That part where she's just in the tank with one hand in the alligator's mouth and the other one just propped to the side and holding up her head like, "just another Tuesday," is just wild to witness. What a goddamn trooper. Edit: that bit isn't even in this video... y'all should go look up the whole thing if you haven't seen it. Worth watching just to appreciate her entire vibe.
I have 3 cats. One of them hunts mostly mouses (and brings them in my bed at night and looks all proud and purrs and all, but I can never be mad at her 😅), the other brings home birds, sometimes we can actually save the bird, and sometimes we just find random feathers on the floor. Now, our eldest, a very beautiful orange with white little socks, will stay outside for HOURS without moving just to bring moles at our porch. I remember when I was little I cried because he killed a baby mole and I was so sad lol
This is why in countries like Australia where so much wild life is endangered, animals like pet cats should be kept indoors or in catios where cats can be protected from wildlife, and wildlife can be protected from cats. My cats are very happy and have enriched lives indoors. They dont kill wildlife, and my wildlife is safe from my cats.
Love the moose footage. Moose are fantastic animals, and its wonderful to see them engage in their nagural behaviours. I feel like we see lots of cats, dogs, reptiles, and birds online - but Moose fly under the radar a bit!
When the deer crashed through the window you notice besides the lady grabbing her purse she's putting up her jacket to her chest...😆 It's like "watch out that lady has a jacket!*
i came across your videos again and i just knew i had to watch. as well as the serious info you put across, which is necessary and informative, your 'ordinary, naughty' side is what makes me want to watch on repeat. You laughing, your squeamish looks and your overall humour needs to become part of compulsory watching by kids and adults alike. i just love love love these videos. thanks a million xx
I just started watching you 😂🎉 and I'm hooked ❤ I absolutely needed this !! I'm very pleased to meet you and look forward to watching more, I've got some binging to do ❤
My cat has a stuffed cucumber/pickle toy that she absolutely adores. She will carry it around with her. That being said, I’ve not ambushed her with vegetables. She never took the cucumbers in the garden as a direct threat, so I just pulled my signature move of leaving well enough alone. Everybody’s happy. Especially Floof and her pickle. ☺️
The snake bite at 7:26 was most likely a rat snake that got really startled. It takes a lot for them to strike because they are super chill. They are hands down, my favorite snake.
A piece of wisdom I've heard is if you have to ask "HOW DID THAT SNAKE GET UP THERE???" it's a rat snake. Them critters love climbing and they are good at. Which makes sense because their rodent prey are as well.
Also the horse in Spain was swishing his tail fro the start and took a subtle step forward before the man put his hand up. It was subtle, but could be a signal for the man to back off or that the horse was aware of the human and postioning himslef defensively.
We found out there were ****RATS**** in my husband's workshop when my sweet, shy cat presented us with one one evening and the other the next evening. The workshop is attached to the house, so we made sure there weren't any more out there. And, we made sure to close the door from the house to the workshop. Our cats are never allowed outside, except on our screened deck and the screens are extremely strong, so they can't tear them. The screens are over the top, too. I was repulsed and, at the same time, impressed. I didn't think he had that sort of hunter instinct in him.
I know nothing about horses or horse behavior yet my instincts told me that Ears back and tail flick is not a good sign.
Charles Darwin noted that animals who bite as an attack and have moveable ears pretty much all put their ears back when they're contemplating violence. He figured it was an adaptation to avoid having their ears bitten off while fighting rivals.
I did pet horses when I was younger, that were on a field or whatever, but even as a kid/ Teenager I just waited if the horse came over and didn't get closer to it myself. You just shouldnt pet animals that are that powerful if they don't know you and don't Show any sign of Wanting you to.
Right?
Ears back says one unhappy horse .
Tail flick could be just swooshing flies or a number of things .
Kind of like cats in large stompy boots.
8:04 “they dont wna expend their venom on someone as useless as you… to eat.. as useless to eat as you…🙂” so real doc.
"Horses can be assholes"

She didn't mention it, but they can get really jealous.

That had to be an elk. Never heard of a 6ft deer before. I once was sitting by my pool around 10pm. The lights were out so I sent my niece inside to get the pool remote. As I sat there in my chair, my little dog started barking. I told him to be quiet a couple times then thought to myself, “wait… what’s he barking at?” I stood up and turned around only to realize a doe was standing right behind me with her head over my chair. lol she’d basically been sniffing my hair.
@@IratePuffin Could have been an elk, but it could have been a red deer as well. Those get almost as big as elk do, and if one stood with it's head held up, its eyeline would be higher than 5 ft.

@K.C-2049 that particular incident was in Jasper Park, on the highway into town. I've seen them around Canmore too though!

You could just walk right by them as if they were regular townsfolk out for a stroll 😂 they paid no attention to us. You can't be quite that close to the animals in Jasper, in my experience. They get way more nervous even if you're just walking past without looking at them.
Also I'm jealous you live in Canmore it's do beautiful there, and the folk festival is amazing.
"Yes, you should always continue filming." Another quote by Dr. Jones that has simply made my day.
Those two idiots provoking a gosh darn moose!!!! I grew up in a town in Canada that gets a lot of moose, we literally have a moose watch facebook group so everyone can have an idea where they are so we can live harmoniously.
The panicked retreat made my day 😁
I knew someone who grew up in Alaska. He told me his elementary school has Moose Drills on the playground to teach children how to avoid being injured.
Absolutely. I'm from central Europe and even I know that moose can be very dangerous and are responsible for many incidents including wild animals in the area where they live.
Similar to knowing that hippos in Africa cause more injuries in humans than lions.
And I don't think that knowledge comes from the fact that I'm a biologist (entolomogist/arachnologist).
Even if you had no clue whatsoever, one might think common sense would still make you cautious at least...
@@mangantasy289I’m already wary of horses. I dont wanna spook them and get kicked. So in no way would I ever test my luck with deers and moose.
In my area, boars are the only danger.
They can roam the streets at night.
@@n0rmal953 I have respect for all animals, and the bigger the more considering my won safety as well. And about danger, similar in my region about boars, and even they rarely cause any physical damage in people.
Most people needing treatment because of injuries caused by animals are cat, dog and horse owners.
The cat protecting its toddler human from the dog attack, the side body slam was using its hind murder paws with all that muscle slashes deep wounds.
But what the eff was wrong with the dog in the first place? It seemed to attack the kid out of absolutely nowhere!
@@meerkatnip892 could be a stray tbh. Or just never socialized.
It's a wild animal tiny human was in it's turf so of course it attacked.
Can we just give a round of applause for neon shirt guy who just jumped on the back on an alligator while on vacation during an emergency? Like holy crap.
Yeah, he saved her hand and possibly her life. And unlike her, he doesn't work with alligators for a living.
He worked there, did he not?
White socks with black sneakers, sunglasses hangin off his collar.. nope, surely not
@@computerbombNope. He was a visitor. With brass balls.
@@RealFarknMcCoy wow, thats even more bad ass
The girl with the alligator was a trooper. She stayed calm because she was showing the alligator to kids.
She went back to handling gators after she healed up.
Yup. Very professional young lady. Saved her life, it did.
My cat brought home an adult male blackbird once. It was 100% ok and alive, not a single feather out of place. It wasn't even bleeding. No puncture wounds anywhere, just a bit of cat saliva on it.
After I let it go, I scolded my cat (simple "don't do that, bad cat") and she slunk in under my bed for the next 4-5 hours before coming back out.
After that she never brought in anything. She did like to sit outside and look at the birds, and just chilled with the female roedeer that used to come around with her fawns.
They even cuddled under a small tree we had together one winter 😂
I do really miss that cat a lot. No joke she was my best friend. She'd insist on being a pillow each night (even nipping my neck/shoulder if I went to bed without her). She walked me part of the way to school, and was there to pick me up, no matter the weather. Snow 3-4 times her height? No problem, she'd jump between the steps other people had taken. Rainstorm? No worries, she had a strange love for water.
She also seemed to know when I was sad, even before I did. She'd come out of nowhere, meowing and jumping into my lap to give hugs and kisses.
Beautiful story. I have so much love for cats, mine are both indoor only though. Thanks for sharing :)
I love sharing stories of my silly, but lovable cat.
I swear sometimes she acted more like a dog than a cat. I do really miss her, but I'm also pretty sure her ghost is following me.
@@AIuzky where I live we have barely any predators. Not many endangered species either.
Do you think I'd let my cat outside if she'd be in danger? No, I wouldn't.
So you can keep your opinion to yourself.
We had outdoor cats all through my childhood. They were fine Nothing irresponsible about outdoor cats. For close to 30 years we never had one go astray, or get hurt being outside in a suburban area. @@AIuzky
she sounds like a dog, picking you up from school n what not. sounds just like my mom’s dog. he would chase them miles, sometimes he’d run out to find my mom and wait at the door for her return. hate to say it but most cats are not that smart! they’ve only been around us for a couple thousand years, weren’t domesticated to be at our side. so naturally their emotional intelligence is usually not so sharp. i mean some dog’s aren’t either but it’s not nearly as uncommon as a cat with such extreme intellect. what a special kitty!
Found somebody's escaped African Grey in the woods by my high school during winter in Upstate NY. A girl who had birds of her own had everyone back away and actually talked it down from the tree it was in and got it to land on her arm, and let her put it inside her hoodie to warm it up. Tried to find an owner but nobody ever tried to claim it, so one of our teachers ended up keeping it and had a cage built in her classroom. It ended being the coolest most mellow large parrot I have ever seen.
One of my favorite things about Moose is the privilege to see them in person. Because yes on a video they are big, sure. Seeing the size of a moose in person is still one of the most insane things Ive experienced in my life. They really stepped out of the Pleistocene and said “and what”
I fully agree. I once saw a full blooded Shire horse of well above peak size and muscle mass, because the local breeders were trying to reawaken the old nordic warhorse genetics that were lost to time, and well, they made terrifying progress with that horse as an example. Big, well muscled, very intelligent, well trained and very social. A beautiful animal and truly awe inspiring to behold.
Darth Gator is not an exotic pet. He’s an animal ambassador in a Utah reptile zoo. Lindsay is just a badass employee who’s still working with him after what happened to her.
Can you provide the paperwork (with it's signature) where he agreed to be an "animal ambassador?" 😂
@@reneerougeaux7046 He is a wild animal not able to be released to the wild, so he is in care and helping teach people about his amazing species. You don't need to act like a stunted human about it.
@@widowkeeper4739 the only one acting like a stunted human is you by calling names. It was a joke. Relax.
She also said that she was in the wrong. She put her hand where he determined it was food and fought like hell to make sure he didn't get put down which is disgusting . When it's obvious it's human error why put a animal down for doing what's natural to them
Thanks for the update. Glad Lindsay ok. Truely a ln amazing person to still work with the gator. I noticed how calm she was during the incident...
The bloke who lept on the back gets plenty of admiration too. 😮😮😮
Wow
She was like bleeding and shaking so much but was still so calm
She was like: "honey? Could you get that snake of of me please?😇"
what else is she supposed to do? within a stade of life and death state, def can lead you to act oddly calm as the adrenalin makes you not even feel much pain
What a nightmare of a woman, encouraging her animals to get near a snapping turtle. Wtf?
Agreed, she's begging her horse to hurt himself tearing through the fence. Nightmare is right.
I own a pet cornsnake. He has been handled by people since two weeks old. If he decides to bite me, the damage will be superficial. If he gets out, he might make someone scream or hurt themself out of fear. Big snakes are cool, but I think that anything bigger than 10 feet should not be a pet without some sort of permit. They are usually "chill," but when they go into "attack mode," they can be super dangerous.
The issue with that python wasn't even 'attack mode', that snake was in food mode. In a very small cage, in the same room as a rat or mouse breeding rack. (That's in the background behind the woman). Realistically that snake was kept in pretty poor condition if it is constantly kept in that enclosure, judging by it's poor shed too.. The whole thing was the woman doing everything wrong. The snake was looking for food and she decided to touch it instead of move away and give it a bit to snap out of the food response or use some sort of barrier to physically block it before it could reach her.
All the fear mongering around non-venomous or rear-fang venomous snakes is really unfortunate. (But yes, people like that woman really shouldn't own such big snakes. Let's leave those to professionals like the Snake Discovery folks
Food mode not attack mode. Even real chill snakes can mistake a hand for a rat. That is why target training is so important to do with the big snakes.
@@robinmartincic289Thant's why I highly encourage tap-training or target-training any animal that has the physical ability to be dangerous when looking for food. You gotta be clear with them if there's going to be food happening or not since they don't switch out of hunting mode easily, and they're very much creatures of habit. If you only open the enclosure at feeding time, that's going to trigger a food response even if that's not what you're doing.
So the boy that was attacked by the dog and the cat body slams the dog, the cats name is Tara. The little boy is on the autism spectrum and has been said that Tara is very to be motherly towards the boy. The fact that Tara came back after chasing off the dog just shows you the bond between ths two. The reason why I say that is to make sure he is ok and the other is to make sure the dog doesn't come back
The man in that first clip was just a visitor! What an incredible and brave person.
I live in Texas and we have rattlesnakes. A friend who has a small ranch with horses, keeps a donkey with her horses because they will stomp snakes to smithereens. Maybe it’s just her donkey, but she says it’s kind of an a-hole too.
More donkeys do that! Some horses do it too, once rode one that would try to jump on snakes
I know a donkey that goes after cats
@@eowyn7179A lot of donkeys will also go after anything vaguely canine shaped. It's very on-sight with them, that make great livestock guardian animals
i love how the moose politely waits for its opponent to unstuck itself from the car so they can continue their fight lmao
As a Canadian, I'm always amazed by how many people think moose are just big placid creatures that aren't dangerous. They are MASSIVE, way bigger than you expect them to be, and incredibly strong. Males in season (like the video shown here) or mothers with babies are the most dangerous as they will get more territorial and/or defensive. But any old moose can do a lot of damage, so give them space!
Your comments about horse curiosity. I had the privilege of working with the wonderful Tom Dorrance. One thing he would say quite regularly, "People say curiosity killed the cat, but I tell you what. It was the horse what got killed." Horse curiosity is nearly (but not quite) on a level with parrots or primates.
Yeah, they do kick fast too. I trained horses for many years, and occasionally, even those of us who are experienced end up in a compromising situation. I have, on two separate occasions, been kicked by a horse when the people watching did not even see the kick happen. They were looking right at the horse at the time of the kick, and only saw a flinch. Horses are super fast, and ponies are even faster! Haha!
So, for a lot of these reptile bites, including Darth Gator who bit the young woman, had what's called a feeding response. The young woman bitten by the gator spoke to Clint of Clint's Reptiles back when it happened. You can learn more there. For the python, once a snake gets that big, it is suggested that you handle them with a companion. Like any large animal, they can be dangerous when hungry or scared.
From what I've seen, most of the time people get in trouble with big reptile bites it's because of a food response. They generally aren't super persistent about attacking out of defensiveness (unless very cornered). Once they have an opening to flee, they will (unless there's eggs involved)
I watched another video that used that clip as an example of how NOT to handle a large snake. They said you don't treat it like a dog... the snake was hungry and was showing hunting behavior which was why it was so intent on reaching the woman... it saw her as a meal.
@@qa377 It looked like it was shedding too, I heard a lot of snakes bite at that time because they have worse vision and mistake your appendages for food lol. Also it makes them grumpy.
My cat brought me 7 voles one night.
2 on the floor at the foot of the bed.
1 in the hall
2 on the stairs
1 in the living room
1 in the kitchen
A literal trail to our back sliding door
I loved her, too
this sounds like someone doing a trail of rose petals on valentines lmao
"The night of the seven voles". 😀😁

I was on holiday in Banff, Canada & walked out to my car one morning and found an elk standing next to it with splayed legs, head down 'hoovering' a puddle next to the car. I stopped, it raised its head to look at me but didn't move. I spoke softly & backed slowly away whilst reaching for my camera. The elk resumed its drink & I got some great photos and an amazing experience! 😃
lol I live in Canmore AB (down the road from Banff) and they definitely are pretty comfy with humans around here. I've quite literally almost run into them while out jogging far too many times.
That parrot screaming like a baby was just creepy to see lol😂
Dr. Ann Jones is the BEST! Considering her background, her spontaneous reactions are a real joy! You’d think she’s already seen everything but her enthusiasm for the types and kinds of differences in animals and the results of their interactions with humans is refreshing and educational. Ann, can I take you to lunch?
Lived in Alaska off and on for a bit when my family moved up there. They were there four years but I was very much not a fan of it lol but the moose can be terrifying. I get you say they don’t tend to go for humans unprovoked, but there was this one moose that was legit a bully in the neighborhood I lived in😅 it KNEW when people would be heading to work, when buses would show up, when kids would typically be outside to play and it would be waiting in hiding for these times. It was a male (you could very clearly tell if yaknow what I’m saying) and it was not rutting season. There was one time that it was across the street and I was trying to go outside and every single time I opened the front door it would start aggressively walking and hugging towards me. One time my brother and I decided to see where it goes at dark. We got in my parents van and followed it. It was a bit difficult to see at times, but we managed to track it all the way to a mountain about 30 minutes away!!!! This moose was walking 30 minutes every day to come terrorize the people where I lived 😂 idk what happened to cause it to decide to do that, but I respect the commitment and the pettiness
Moose can smell scarily well, so I wouldn't be surprised if someone who lived there had pissed it off and it was coming for revenge. They're terrifying and reinforce my woods mantra: do not frick with things with hooves. Traditional predators will just kill you. Hooved things will stomp you into the dust for the joy of it.
Hell, yes. A moose in rut or heat is a killing machine.
My brother almost got killed from being bitten on the arm by a horse. It basically ripped his whole bicep out. He almost bled out in the field.
Yeah, exactly why I think that dude only got a nice, gentle if angry warning bite with no true intent for permanent harm. Way more damage otherwise.
That cat that caught the pigeon was like, "naw! It's my catch now!!😂
"Those pants were offensive..."😂😂😂
I love a woman who's not afraid to tell you that your cat doesn't think so much of you
Every animal can be dangerous, if handled by people who don't understand the animal and its needs 😞
The parents seemed mpre mortified with their kids seeing the alligator 🐊 attack than the kids...
Of course. Kids would be fascinated. Might have trouble with going swimming after that though.
I mean, it could have ended up pretty damn gruesome if the alligator ended up ripping her hand off. Better to get them away in case that happened.
My dad thought our cat last night had a mouse because he was hitting the couch and going nuts.
Turns out, he was just playing and going nuts.
😂😂😂😂
The channel Clint’s reptile did an interview with the woman that was getting rolled by the alligator at the start. This was at an experience event with children, tends and other adults getting a feeding encounter to watch. Thankfully she had very little damage done to her hand. Her arm was twisted in such a way when it was grabbed that the roll end up just straightening her arm.
The dude that jumped in on the alligator? He wasn’t an employee. He wasn’t a volunteer. He was just a reptile geek that just kinda knew what to do and didn’t want to wait for more staff to come running in while the risk for her being rolled and losing her hand/arm was incredibly high. Once he said on the alligator and kept it from rolling, the girl being bitten had to tell him what to do. He had no idea how to get out of the situation! He said he just couldn’t leave her hanging. Other staff don’t come rolling in until this random dude is sitting on this alligator.
Buster wasn’t letting out anger. He just has a thing about knocking things over so his owners will put stacks of things around so he can knock them over. He’s so funny when he raises a foot, stares at you, while slowly knocking it over. He also will pick up the orange cup and holler in it to hear the reverb. He rants to his human Dad, L when he gets home from work, to tell him about his day, whether it’s good or bad. He loves to talk about going to the dog play group, or Ohio ( his owners don’t know why either, but Buster alway says he’s going there). He loves the trampoline and more. Buster is a hoot!
Great that there was someone there to help that woman with the python. I don’t think she would have gotten away.
Yeah, that snake was not just in food mode. Looking at that room, the woman has zero knowledge on how to properly deal with a snake that large. It in all likelyhood does not like her at all. If a snake actually likes you, it is way quicker on letting go if it accidentally mistook your hand for a rat while in food mode. The very first taste of your blood would clue it in that you are not a rat, because rat tastes and feels different than human does. This one went for full compression and even started to go for a wrap around her neck. If that man had not been present it would propably have managed to kill her. She propably feeds it way to little, gives it way to small a living space and next to no proper intraction, wether training, play or socialisation.
That's not Buster. That's Harley.
Stoic indifference
Donkey: OMFG MY FAVOURITE PERSON
There is actually an awesome video (two now) by Clints Reptiles interviewing the woman from the first video. The gator in the video is Darth Gator and she still works with him at their facility to this day. The guy on the alligator is Donny Weisman who was just a bystander and basically saved her life - he's a real one.
Her calling moose gym bros and saying they had no chill in the rutting season completely won me over. 🤣
Did you know that horses can have mustaches? They can be amazing! 😅
Dr Ann you have made my day because I've been binge watching your videos , you're the best presenter 😂😂
As an equestrian I can confirm that bites hurt so much even several days later so does falling, just fell yesterday and did a front flip at full canter off her and broke my arm
Great to see your vids Ann. Thank you!
btw, small cats are brilliant predators, And they are also ( evolutionary speaking ) prey animals. This can explain a lot of "weird" behavior that people talk about. The hyper reflexes to get away fast, wanting to be up high to survey the area. * big cats, dogs, big birds, Scavengers getting at the kittens,
* yes I love my rescue kitties, NO they are not allowed out.
I tap trained my boa, so he knew he was not going to be fed. I have been bitten when he was accidentally frightened. He let go immediately and the damage was very minimal. When keepers do stupid things, they win stupid prizes.
I love this lady's presentation and her just her attitude I love it
The fact he said sould i keep filming is a BETTER reaction than other people they keep recording without asking if they sould help so that man is a MAN himself
I live in Spain. One day, driving home from Barcelona, we took the back roads to avoid the traffic jams. Going by all the farm lands when a farmer pulled out in front of us in his truck. In the back of the truck, laying down and facing towards us was a donkey. He just stared at us with those stoic eyes bouncing along the gravelly roads until we approached another farm where the farmer turned in. We were laughing so hard and to this day I have no idea how this farmer got a donkey to lay down in the back of his flat bed truck! Something tells me though that it wasn't his first time doing that. I wish I had a video of that.
Yes, always continue filming….That comment made me laugh out loud!
When I worked with animals, especially captive wild animals, I always told people when they asked "does it bite" that if it has a mouth, it bites. Even with my dog, who had never bitten anyone at the time I'd say, "she hasn't bitten anyone yet, but she could." When I worked with snakes I got bit because I forgot to wash my hands between feeding the hawks and owls rats, and cleaning their cages. The snake was expecting a meal that day as well. Hurt like hell but that was my fault.
MORE Dr. Ann videos! Please!! :)
I love this Doc. Very funny and informative.
That guy who got bitten by the horse was so lucky. His hand happened to land in the area of the horses' mouth where there are no teeth. It's the area where the bit sits in their mouth when they have a bridle on .
4:39 the cameraman never dies
Murder mittens is what I'm taking from this 😂😂😂
So my dad is a nurse and me and one of my sisters were going through one of his medical books. We were comparing the STI pictures to horse bite pictures to see which was worse, like ick wise.
Horse bites won hands down.
I love the excitement in her voice when she mentions the, "death roll."
I will firmly stand by the stance that Pythons should not be at home pets. There size alone is terrifying and you also have the people who don’t know how to care for them, and then they get too big and instead of giving them to rescues/ zoos who can actually care for them they are irresponsible and release them into the wild and also puts other wildlife/people at risk.
More like you're wanting people to need a license/permit.
And they can eat entire children. And they’re not affectionate or very interesting, people feed them live animals, which is cruelty, and…if you want a reptile, tortoises can be genuine interactive pets. Not my cup of tea, but they aren’t harmful.
@@stillhere1425all pets ARE affectionate in so many ways and different snakes or reptiles can be extremely interesting? Only a slim few snakes can actually eat something larger than a medium sized dog. You’ve clearly never owned a snake…if you don’t want one awesome but don’t put down an entire species along with the people that own them.
I don’t agree but i could say the same about large dogs
@@Jimmythejerboa nothings gonna happen, people are allowed pitbulls and anacondas and boomslangs and crocodiles etc etc.
For every hour you have to legislate and enforce laws, idiots have just as much time each, are a million stronger in numbers, and every single last one of them thinks they're not the problem, "Stanley was a fat housecat, I'm sure he's just moved. I'll just get another one just the same."
Nobody is individually the problem.
4:24 This lady should not have snakes. It was aggressive even before opening the box.
I've seen people who work with/own exotic animals talk about that lady and said she is kind of known for not taking good care of the reptiles in her care(i.e poor habits, improper nutrition, etc.)
First thing I thought at the initial behavior of the snake, is that something was wrong. I've never been a snake owner, I just like to learn about them. Yet even I, a person who has never owned one, could see the snake was not in a good way. Most pythons and boas that have proper handling and nutrition, do not act that way towards their handlers. My thought is that there is something going on with this snake. Poor nutrition most likely. Treating a human like a food item is absolutely not normal.
I suspect the snake was hungry, my sister had snakes when she belonged to a reptile club. She fed her snakes a variety of foods, insects and rodents (expensive!) kept them docile and easy to handle.
@@jeanne2b2b22 Most snakes don't eat insects.. but yes, that snake was in food mode, because of the scent of rodents in the room/on the woman considering there's a rat/mouse breeding rack behind her in that clip
The snake was in food mode. it thought it was being fed and the heat signature of a hand looks a lot like a rat. It is important to teach giant snakes to target feed. If they don't see the target then they are not being fed. Keepers also use a snake hook to stroke the back of the snake before touching them to signal that they are not feeding.
I absolutely love the clip of the little dog that accidentally taps the electric fence, yelps then runs away. and the donkey walks over to the edge of the fence Braying. Sounds and looks like it's laughing at the dog
my husband caught a beat down from a deer in his grandmas yard when he was a kid. instead of coming to help, his fam stayed inside and took pictures, hand on heart, i seen 'em.
Every animal deserves respect and admiration.
The surgeons who put the alligator guy's head back together did a fantastic job. You can barely see any scars or deformities after such a devastating attack.
This is the first time I`ve seen a video of yours, and I must say I loved it. I learned some things I didn`t know and you made me laugh out loud! Thank you!
I was kicked in the chest once by a horse. I believe that cardiac arrest immediatly, specially after a certain age. With me I got a few bruised ribs and got the air knocked out of me; was winded for almost a minute. It was the first time ( sadly not the last time) in my life I got winded and was 12, it was scary af and for the whole time I thought I was going to die. Getting kicked by a horse is no joke.
That first video still gets me. I saw it as a viral clip, and then I saw her interview on Clint's Reptiles. That woman is a certified coldblooded badass.
That part where she's just in the tank with one hand in the alligator's mouth and the other one just propped to the side and holding up her head like, "just another Tuesday," is just wild to witness. What a goddamn trooper.
Edit: that bit isn't even in this video... y'all should go look up the whole thing if you haven't seen it. Worth watching just to appreciate her entire vibe.
I have 3 cats. One of them hunts mostly mouses (and brings them in my bed at night and looks all proud and purrs and all, but I can never be mad at her 😅), the other brings home birds, sometimes we can actually save the bird, and sometimes we just find random feathers on the floor. Now, our eldest, a very beautiful orange with white little socks, will stay outside for HOURS without moving just to bring moles at our porch. I remember when I was little I cried because he killed a baby mole and I was so sad lol
This is why in countries like Australia where so much wild life is endangered, animals like pet cats should be kept indoors or in catios where cats can be protected from wildlife, and wildlife can be protected from cats.
My cats are very happy and have enriched lives indoors. They dont kill wildlife, and my wildlife is safe from my cats.
Love the moose footage. Moose are fantastic animals, and its wonderful to see them engage in their nagural behaviours.
I feel like we see lots of cats, dogs, reptiles, and birds online - but Moose fly under the radar a bit!
Put an animal in a confined space and they will come out snapping every time.
I'd love to see more content like this.
I've been seeing the shorts so finally watched the full video.
I could watch this host cover anything lol Love it 😋
I love Dr ann jones vids on animals she's so charming.
When the deer crashed through the window you notice besides the lady grabbing her purse she's putting up her jacket to her chest...😆 It's like "watch out that lady has a jacket!*

i came across your videos again and i just knew i had to watch. as well as the serious info you put across, which is necessary and informative, your 'ordinary, naughty' side is what makes me want to watch on repeat. You laughing, your squeamish looks and your overall humour needs to become part of compulsory watching by kids and adults alike. i just love love love these videos. thanks a million xx
Ohhhhh my gosh I love her!!!!!!! Best sense of humor 😂😂. And she’s so real!
Ann is awesome. Reacting to stuff is so popular nowadays and most of the time it's just lazy content, but she is so informative. Very nice!
I taught my kids a simple remembrance " if it has a mouth it bites, claws? it scratches, if its wild ,you can and will be hurt"
OMG Dr Ann is hilarious 😂🤣😂
Dr Jones, you are an absolute legend. Please and thank you. You make the internet a better place.
Major respect to the alligator attack guy for not holding it against the animal or hating them for it
I just started watching you 😂🎉 and I'm hooked ❤ I absolutely needed this !!
I'm very pleased to meet you and look forward to watching more, I've got some binging to do ❤
Can I just say how much I love this woman's commentary on here!!! She made this better than it was by itself!!!
"Like that. That's what I'd scream like." I do not like snakes, so yeah. I'd be screaming MUCH louder.
that guy making Tom's scream with those cats is fabulous
Their legs are so long that a casual walking pace for them can be faster than a person can run
My cat has a stuffed cucumber/pickle toy that she absolutely adores. She will carry it around with her.
That being said, I’ve not ambushed her with vegetables. She never took the cucumbers in the garden as a direct threat, so I just pulled my signature move of leaving well enough alone. Everybody’s happy.
Especially Floof and her pickle. ☺️
Lol I love this
That kid at the beginning having fun with the gator.
The snake bite at 7:26 was most likely a rat snake that got really startled. It takes a lot for them to strike because they are super chill. They are hands down, my favorite snake.
It looked like one to me. They're great climbers!
A piece of wisdom I've heard is if you have to ask "HOW DID THAT SNAKE GET UP THERE???" it's a rat snake. Them critters love climbing and they are good at. Which makes sense because their rodent prey are as well.
@WayraHyena Which is one of the things that make them my favorite. They get in to some of the goofiest places.
@@mimib8032 SAME!
Also the horse in Spain was swishing his tail fro the start and took a subtle step forward before the man put his hand up. It was subtle, but could be a signal for the man to back off or that the horse was aware of the human and postioning himslef defensively.
No "could be" about it. From the first instant of the vid, that horse was showing "GET AWAY FROM ME!" in every bit of its being.
We found out there were ****RATS**** in my husband's workshop when my sweet, shy cat presented us with one one evening and the other the next evening. The workshop is attached to the house, so we made sure there weren't any more out there. And, we made sure to close the door from the house to the workshop. Our cats are never allowed outside, except on our screened deck and the screens are extremely strong, so they can't tear them. The screens are over the top, too.
