As cute as it is that that bear was eating out of the guy's hand, please refrain from feeding wildlife. They'll come up to other humans looking for snacks, and someone who is scared enough might shoot them, or accidentally rile the bear up into aggression and cause others to shoot the bear to protect the person.
Exactly not to mention the fact that human food is genuinely very bad for them and they can become over reliant on humans which is also bad since a bear without a fear of humans is dangerous for both the animal and people.

OH, I know the one with Tapirs being a candle reference - there's a type of candle called a 'taper' which narrows down and used to be used for transmitting a flame from one candle to another before lighters and matches were available. Their thin and tapered shape (hence the name) was ideal for when you had to tilt them to transfer the fire along without costing an undue amount of wax. They haven't been used much at all for a very long time, but if you see any media where someone's using one thin candle to light another candle, the thin one is probably meant to be a taper! And, of course, Tapir/Taper are close in pronunciation in spite of having no linguistic connections.
Remember also, a couple hundred years ago it was the sound that was important and people didn’t worry as much about spelling. It is entirely possible that the spellings were interchangeable, the spelling was later changed to differentiate between them, or someone wrote one down wrong and was later copied. If you read old writings and letters you often see a writer using the same word with multiple spellings in the same document.

Fun fact: humans actually have the most stamina out of all land animals so if your in shape and manage to not get eaten after the first 30 seconds of a chase you can probably out run said animal Edit: you wouldn't necessarily be able to out run shit like hyenas but in a situation where the role is reversed you would be able to(it'll take a while)catch your prey

To answer your question about Koalas: They have no official name to call a collective group of Koalas due to the fact that they are almost never seen in actual groups. So call them whatever you please.
It needs to be a word that means a stupid mistake or accident. Like bumble. A bumble of koalas. Or a bungle of koalas. Or a blunder of koalas. Or how about a drunkard of koalas. A catastrophe of koalas. A shame of koalas. An embarrassment of koalas.
Traditionally-made candles have a tapered shape due to their manufacturing method, and were sometimes called tapers because of that. Calling a group of Tapirs a "candle" is just turning the usual arrangement on its head.

As someone who has had an opossum as a pet they are really cool animals and I do encourage other people to get opossums is pet the change to the image of a possum is being dirty versions of raccoons pretty-much
Owning a ferret I can 100% tell you that a dirty sock is a ferrets favorite thing!! I found over 60 stashed inside my couch underneath.. I thought I was going crazy because they kept disappearing.. he learned how to climb into my hamper and would spend all day sneaking them to the living room.. once I started to stop him he did it in secret all sneaky and go a different route to avoid me seeing him, and if I did see him he would book it to his destination
Stoat and ermine are different species. Both change fur to white in winter, but ermine always has black tip of a tail - both in winter and summer, but it is more noticeable in winter. Also, ermine is slightly larger on average

Just wanted to add that African Wild Dogs/African Painted Dogs are very similar in terms of hunting, like hyenas! But I would also say that they're possibly more successful on the hunt? They do the same thing too, tear their prey apart alive. Just wanted to give a shoutout to one of my favorite African animals
I have had an opossum that lived for 3 years and 4 months, that went from 8.2 grams to 11 pounds. And also had k9 teeth on average 3/8ths of an inch longer than normal ( no scavenging or over chewing) he was awesome.
9:48 because "taper" is a type of candle. It was THE candle of history, due to it's easy manufacturing (dip a thread in a bowl of wax and hang it to dry). So, yeah, it's a play on words.
A group of Koalas is called a “Koala population” or “Koala colonies”. Simply because there is no name, for a collective grouping of koalas - as the species is so highly solitary. Sorry...-
the group designations for animals - or terms of venery - aren't academically correct names, they're just flavors which are derived from contexts in which they were used (a lot of them from the Book of Saint Albans). It's pretty much just a way to denote flavor, or an interpretation of the animals in groups. It's perfectly valid to use any term in that fashion, but of course calling them a 'crime of koalas' - let's say - will probably be met with confusion since they seem so harmless.
9:48 The reason a group of Tapirs would be called a "candle" is because "taper" is the word used for a type of long thin candle. They're the kind that you see in hoity-toity dining room scenes in princess movies or vampire parties.
Karma considering the only reason they hunt humans is because they are starving die to global warming, resulting in a lack of food and lack of area for them to exist
Pissed about global warming? Just remember, every living human can own a semi and run it 16 hours a day, and would do less damage then volcanos, hurricanes, natural forest fires, and floods together each year And less damage then the Bikini Atoll's nuclear dome, oil spills, landfills and nuclear plants But hay global warming is all our fault Bullshit, our politician's fault possible Canada no longer has landfills They opped out cuz the people voted, so they sell there garbage to America -.- Yeah Instead of making less trash, or recycling Lets give the responsibility to the next humans and blame them Yall involved in the problem, but yeah your politicians hide it
Im not disagreeing with you since Polar bears are the only bear that is strictly carnivorous. But imo thats not all the way true. Id say tigers get that rap the most. Tigers (my favorite animal) sadly have the "best" reputation for maneating. Theres three factors to consider. The areas in some south asian countries have rural or low industry towns that overlap with tiger territory and as youd expect theres.....been contact between humans and tigers. Two, adult male tigers have a ridiculous range of what they deem their territory, with some being tagged to circumvent an area with the circumference of 20 miles. With that being the case male tigers run into conflict with man even in more industrial parts of sputh asia. Third Tigers are very vengeful and i know that sounds ridiculous but fkr some reason they're able to remember faces and smells of particular people especially those theyve crossed with. So the stories of villages being attacked by a single vengeful tiger actually has some weight to them. But the same can be said of roaming male lion groups, and other predators that get too old or damaged to hunt regular prey. I see your point thpugh
Incorrect, lions will too. Especially if they have an injury in their mouth or jaw or some dental disease. Because they will then seek softer, easier prey which is humans. For example, The lions that the movie Ghost and the Darkness is based on, the Tsavo Man-Eaters, more than likely had this issue which is why they were exclusively hunting humans. Fun Fact: though the Tsavo Man-Eaters didn’t have manes they were male lions. Carnivores are not too different from one another, they need to hunt to eat. If they can’t hunt their usual prey for whatever reason they will try to hunt something else. Unfortunately for some people, they happen to be the something else.
7:41 I just realized that Dolphins are pretty dangerous and Zebras are pretty dangerous but orcas are even more dangerous than hypothetical fusion of the two would theoretically be.
Everyone always grizzlies this and grizzlies that... polar bears are probably the most dangerous, most people are lucky they live no where near polar bears. I'd say the only reason black bear takes it is because they're still bears, are way more abundant and people frequently run into them.
I have always loved and been intrigued by opposums. I was originally drawn by their care for their babies. I have fed some in my backyard before and try to watch them eat but they take forever to make moves. I've always had empathy for them and thought they were cute, while most people talk bad about them. My love has been confirmed! 🥰 Thanks HoodNature! 💕
I can confirm about the sleep thing. My friend thought my ferret was dead. I shook him awake and he was very confused. The fact that ferrets steal random shit is what makes them so cute.
9:39 So picture this, you are walking down a path in a university or a park with many MANY trees around, there are a LOT of iguanas in those trees. You feel something warm on your hair now, yep, the iguanas just shat on you. my dad worked at the local university for half of my childhood and every time I went to visit him I would see a poor student run to the bathroom in haste while worrying the poop didn't drip into their faces/neck.
My gf has a pet Ferret and his name is "Ace". I will admit he is one of the coolest pets but really energetic. Also I can definitely agree they really do like to steal shit. Ace use to steal cough drops, loose change, and whatever else he could find until one day we found his stash hidden underneath our bed.
If the ranger catch you doing that in the US, they prolly will put that bear down. Your not supposed to teach them to eat people food. Then they come to people houses when they are hungry. Then there are screams, and blood, and people running around, just like in Jurassic Park. I give them water from a bowl i carry, and berries i pick in front of them, and even then the rangers yell at me if i am caught. They are my booboo buddies though. I mean, i dont socialize them, we just get along.
Black bears tend to lose there fear of people overtime and can become comfortable enough to challenge people in the worst case though not to often topically they will act more afraid of us then we are of them.

So they start a show where they someone basically just shows us the gators and kinda wrestles it. I was chosen to pick which one. I being a kid and wanted blood, picked the biggest one I could. He literally looked at me and said " you had to pick the biggest one?" I laughed and sat down we watched him do the show and left. I remember being slightly worried cause I KNEW these big guys were millions of years old.
I laughed all the way through this and learned so much! Thank you! I think it's called a 'Candle' of Tapirs because it'a play on the word 'Taper' which is an English term to describe a long thin wax candle that was used to light bigger candles/gas lights back in the day.
I live out in the country. I know the woods and the trails around me like the back of my hand. I usually have bells or talk to my dog enough to not run into a black bear, cause they know to avoid humans. Catch em on trail cams all the time, but we co-exist. I just...I don't get any of the watermelons I plant. They're polite about it. They only take the watermelons. They break them in half and usually leave big pieces that my dogs eat. They're smart and scared enough not to hurt me. My only worry is that they'll learn where the plant is and keep coming back to my yard and i'll run into them at some point. They don't take anything that's inside the fence. They don't take anything that's more than halfway from the treeline to my house. Tbh, I'm more afraid of rattlesnakes than them. It's a lovely coexistence that we've got going.
1:06 There actually is a Pokemon that is partially based on this creature. It is called Shellos and Gastrodon and they are both based on sea slugs in general, but the East Sea form has more similarities to nudibranches. But they are both most likely based more closely on sea bunnies

Sad thing about Opossums is that they have a really short lifespan. Someone would be heartbroken all the time if they had Opossums as pets.
Like rats. It's not funny. Every year multiple dead rats. It hurts very much.
What kinda loser loves a dumb varmint like that as a pet?
No, and captivity they could live about 9 years. I knew someone who had a pet opossum. Charlie the opossum. He lived about 8 years.

There is no group name for Koalas as they are solitary creatures, often times scientists call overlapping Koala populations just that "Koala Populations" or "Koala Colonies"
No, a group of Elephants is called a "Parade" but can also just be called a "Herd" as a generic term.

Most sharks and bears are solitary as well, so the reasoning behind koalas not having a group is kinda silly.

OH, I know the one with Tapirs being a candle reference - there's a type of candle called a 'taper' which narrows down and used to be used for transmitting a flame from one candle to another before lighters and matches were available. Their thin and tapered shape (hence the name) was ideal for when you had to tilt them to transfer the fire along without costing an undue amount of wax. They haven't been used much at all for a very long time, but if you see any media where someone's using one thin candle to light another candle, the thin one is probably meant to be a taper!
And, of course, Tapir/Taper are close in pronunciation in spite of having no linguistic connections.
Remember also, a couple hundred years ago it was the sound that was important and people didn’t worry as much about spelling. It is entirely possible that the spellings were interchangeable, the spelling was later changed to differentiate between them, or someone wrote one down wrong and was later copied. If you read old writings and letters you often see a writer using the same word with multiple spellings in the same document.

Fun fact: humans actually have the most stamina out of all land animals so if your in shape and manage to not get eaten after the first 30 seconds of a chase you can probably out run said animal

Traditionally-made candles have a tapered shape due to their manufacturing method, and were sometimes called tapers because of that. Calling a group of Tapirs a "candle" is just turning the usual arrangement on its head.
thanks! I thought it would have to do with the candle making process
Some of the only animals that hood nature never talk bad to is Leopard,Cheetah, alligator and crocodiles etc.
cheetahs went safe either
Lowkey cheetahs are underrated just cuz they're the easiest cats to clap. Their success rate is actually higher than lions and most of the food thats stolen from them is actually willfully given up after the cheetah had its fill.
I mean, crocodiles are the oldest Predators without evolutionary change (i think) so sh*t must be working in their favor.

As someone who has had an opossum as a pet they are really cool animals and I do encourage other people to get opossums is pet the change to the image of a possum is being dirty versions of raccoons pretty-much
Don't they just die After 2 years?
@@biggsdarklighter0473 yeah, they have very short lifespans. :(
It's ironic, because raccoons are some of the best animals at spreading rabies while opossums (usually) can't carry it thanks to their own body temp

Owning a ferret I can 100% tell you that a dirty sock is a ferrets favorite thing!! I found over 60 stashed inside my couch underneath.. I thought I was going crazy because they kept disappearing.. he learned how to climb into my hamper and would spend all day sneaking them to the living room.. once I started to stop him he did it in secret all sneaky and go a different route to avoid me seeing him, and if I did see him he would book it to his destination

I have had an opossum that lived for 3 years and 4 months, that went from 8.2 grams to 11 pounds. And also had k9 teeth on average 3/8ths of an inch longer than normal ( no scavenging or over chewing) he was awesome.
I love your defense of certain animals... especially the badger.
9:48 because "taper" is a type of candle. It was THE candle of history, due to it's easy manufacturing (dip a thread in a bowl of wax and hang it to dry).
So, yeah, it's a play on words.
I love tapirs so the more you know
A group of Koalas is called a “Koala population” or “Koala colonies”. Simply because there is no name, for a collective grouping of koalas - as the species is so highly solitary.
Sorry...-
I’m start referring to them as a Short Bus because they are retarded
the group designations for animals - or terms of venery - aren't academically correct names, they're just flavors which are derived from contexts in which they were used (a lot of them from the Book of Saint Albans). It's pretty much just a way to denote flavor, or an interpretation of the animals in groups. It's perfectly valid to use any term in that fashion, but of course calling them a 'crime of koalas' - let's say - will probably be met with confusion since they seem so harmless.
No joke Rest In Peace Steve Irwin I really miss the legend 😔
9:48 The reason a group of Tapirs would be called a "candle" is because "taper" is the word used for a type of long thin candle. They're the kind that you see in hoity-toity dining room scenes in princess movies or vampire parties.
Fun fact: polar bears are the only animals that actively hunt humans.
Karma considering the only reason they hunt humans is because they are starving die to global warming, resulting in a lack of food and lack of area for them to exist
Pissed about global warming?
Just remember, every living human can own a semi and run it 16 hours a day, and would do less damage then volcanos, hurricanes, natural forest fires, and floods together each year
And less damage then the Bikini Atoll's nuclear dome, oil spills, landfills and nuclear plants
But hay global warming is all our fault
Bullshit, our politician's fault possible
Canada no longer has landfills
They opped out cuz the people voted, so they sell there garbage to America -.- Yeah Instead of making less trash, or recycling Lets give the responsibility to the next humans and blame them
Yall involved in the problem, but yeah your politicians hide it
Im not disagreeing with you since Polar bears are the only bear that is strictly carnivorous. But imo thats not all the way true. Id say tigers get that rap the most. Tigers (my favorite animal) sadly have the "best" reputation for maneating. Theres three factors to consider. The areas in some south asian countries have rural or low industry towns that overlap with tiger territory and as youd expect theres.....been contact between humans and tigers. Two, adult male tigers have a ridiculous range of what they deem their territory, with some being tagged to circumvent an area with the circumference of 20 miles. With that being the case male tigers run into conflict with man even in more industrial parts of sputh asia. Third Tigers are very vengeful and i know that sounds ridiculous but fkr some reason they're able to remember faces and smells of particular people especially those theyve crossed with. So the stories of villages being attacked by a single vengeful tiger actually has some weight to them.
But the same can be said of roaming male lion groups, and other predators that get too old or damaged to hunt regular prey.
I see your point thpugh
Incorrect, lions will too. Especially if they have an injury in their mouth or jaw or some dental disease. Because they will then seek softer, easier prey which is humans. For example, The lions that the movie Ghost and the Darkness is based on, the Tsavo Man-Eaters, more than likely had this issue which is why they were exclusively hunting humans. Fun Fact: though the Tsavo Man-Eaters didn’t have manes they were male lions.
Carnivores are not too different from one another, they need to hunt to eat. If they can’t hunt their usual prey for whatever reason they will try to hunt something else. Unfortunately for some people, they happen to be the something else.

Met two opposums with bone issues and they were some of the sweetest critters you could ever meet. Still looked creepy AF when they yawned though
Everyone always grizzlies this and grizzlies that... polar bears are probably the most dangerous, most people are lucky they live no where near polar bears. I'd say the only reason black bear takes it is because they're still bears, are way more abundant and people frequently run into them.

I can confirm about the sleep thing. My friend thought my ferret was dead. I shook him awake and he was very confused. The fact that ferrets steal random shit is what makes them so cute.
Imagine you're fighting this guy and he starts going over your strengths and weakness
Ok so the Group of Tapirs being called a candle is a really clever pun and I love it.
9:39 So picture this, you are walking down a path in a university or a park with many MANY trees around, there are a LOT of iguanas in those trees. You feel something warm on your hair now, yep, the iguanas just shat on you. my dad worked at the local university for half of my childhood and every time I went to visit him I would see a poor student run to the bathroom in haste while worrying the poop didn't drip into their faces/neck.
My gf has a pet Ferret and his name is "Ace". I will admit he is one of the coolest pets but really energetic. Also I can definitely agree they really do like to steal shit. Ace use to steal cough drops, loose change, and whatever else he could find until one day we found his stash hidden underneath our bed.
Thank you so much for showing opossums in a great light!!!!! Love it man!!
Black bears here in lebanon have been my best friends since I always fed them they became my friends and even let me play with their cubs
😳 really!?
If the ranger catch you doing that in the US, they prolly will put that bear down. Your not supposed to teach them to eat people food. Then they come to people houses when they are hungry. Then there are screams, and blood, and people running around, just like in Jurassic Park. I give them water from a bowl i carry, and berries i pick in front of them, and even then the rangers yell at me if i am caught. They are my booboo buddies though. I mean, i dont socialize them, we just get along.
Black bears tend to lose there fear of people overtime and can become comfortable enough to challenge people in the worst case though not to often topically they will act more afraid of us then we are of them.

I live out in the country. I know the woods and the trails around me like the back of my hand. I usually have bells or talk to my dog enough to not run into a black bear, cause they know to avoid humans. Catch em on trail cams all the time, but we co-exist. I just...I don't get any of the watermelons I plant. They're polite about it. They only take the watermelons. They break them in half and usually leave big pieces that my dogs eat. They're smart and scared enough not to hurt me. My only worry is that they'll learn where the plant is and keep coming back to my yard and i'll run into them at some point. They don't take anything that's inside the fence. They don't take anything that's more than halfway from the treeline to my house. Tbh, I'm more afraid of rattlesnakes than them. It's a lovely coexistence that we've got going.
