I never understood that. Guys, bison are typically pretty chill but that's unless you get in their space. Not provoking the natural tank should be obvious but common sense isn't common.
Shame the bison won't clean our gene pool of the idiots who do that. Every time you hear about those people, it's usually followed by a , "How stupid can you be???". Maybe we should stop saying that -- those people are obviously taking it as a challenge
True. The #1 most dangerous animal in the US is the Homo Sapient also known as Human. They are normally a gentile and social animal but are known to attack without provocation and injure or kill for no reason.
MILLIE, you should locate the video of a man actually getting out of a bad situation with a mountain lion. He was hiking on a trail in Utah when he happened to come across her babies and then momma showed up. Frightening, but he did it right by never turning his back on her. I can say for sure she would have attacked him if he turned and ran.
I was bitten by a Brown Recluse spider about 15 years ago. Theses spiders can appear inside houses, not just outdoors. In my case, it caused so much discomfort in my arm that it fealt tlike I had a really bad case of the flu, but my arm ached. It was so bad that It hurt to stand, to sit, and to ly down and try to sleep. Because of the nerve damage, I could not raize my arm, when out straight, above my shoulder. If I did, it felt like someone was trying to pull the nerves out of my fingertips. It was a good 18 months before the nerves repaired themselves, and all is good now.
I made the mistake of getting the Covid vaccine…and I now have severe nerve damage in my left arm…after those 2 injections… Weakness, loss of sensation and pain in my fingers… Yep…a “Duh” decision on my part… I have learned my lesson, believe me!!
With most predators, to minimize attacks, you should walk backwards slowly. Jaws was filmed on Martha's Vineyard as some of the beaches I swam in as a child and teenager. That added to the effect of the movie for me.
My family has been on the island of Martha's Vineyard for over 100 years. It is on when referring to the island. It is in when referring to the individual towns. But that isn't the point I was making. My point was that movie scenes of attacks have more of an impact when it is a familiar location. Especially considering my mother would warn us not to swim out too far. Our dad saw "20 footers out there". Although those were nurse sharks, not great whites.
I met a man who worked in Alaska laying railroad ties on a bridge. One worker dropped a pancake between two closely placed ties. Took 6 men to move one tie. The grizzly ripped the tie off the bridge with one paw and threw it into the river below to reach the pancake. those ties were 12 feet long. I saw one stand up in a zoo once. I stepped back.
My two daughters have camped a lot in Girl Scouts. We live in Florida. Most of yhe time, we are taught about apex predators and how to be safe in the face of one. Remember, they are usually more afraid of you than you are of them.
My niece wrecked her car hitting a deer just a couple of weeks ago. As for mountain lions, in California they are everywhere, not uncommonly turning up in suburban neighborhoods, especially when drought or other conditions drive them from more rural areas.
We had a family friend that was in Alaska on vacation. He was driving down the road and a moose walked out in front of him... he hit the moose. He didn't make it, the moose just walked off. The pictures of the accident looked like he had hit an invisible brick wall. Fun "fact" (not really a fact... just a general rule) about scorpions. The larger the claw, the less potent their sting. A deathstalker scorpion... great, very apt, name... tiny little claws. An emperor scorpion... giant claws, about as bad as a bee sting. The emperor doesn't have strong venom, so they have big claws to fight/defend with... the deathstalker, they just DGAF... "bring it on, and good luck" I don't know why sharks keep ranking so high in these... "more than a dozen a year..." it's fearmongering. Hot dogs kill more people than that. More people die getting thrown off of horses. Cats trip and kill more old ladies than that... Having been stung by a lionfish before, I worry more about them than a shark.
I was always told hit a deer instead of a tree and hit a tree instead of a moose. I can't think of anyone who lived hitting a moose although I'm sure there are some. Quite a few in Maine
I cannot stress enough how much tourists need to follow any and all safety signs and warnings as well as reading up about this kind of stuff BEFORE coming for a visit. We have had a huge uptick in visitors from other countries getting hurt in recent years. This video shows just how dangerous these critters are. And believe it or not but this is just the top ten, there are many more. This is a really big country with tons of wildlife so please be careful when you travel here.
Yes, but if they only visit cities, especially in the northern parts of the U.S., their chances of encountering one of these is virtually zero, with the exception of deer.
Public Service Announcement, 842. My dear, evidently not too bright, Fellow Americans. Wild animals are not standing around waiting for you to pet them. They are minding their own business and just want to be left alone. Those bison you see out in a field? They aren't tame. Don't try to pet them, because chances are very high, that they will kill you. I'm not joking. Google it. If you get yourself killed doing something stupid with/to wild animals, we will feel grief for your parents, but not you. You have been told to leave wild animals alone for decades, but every year, some nitwit thinks it's all exaggeration. It's not.
Feral hogs are no joke. I remember reading an article awhile back, before I moved(it's an article titled Apocalypse Sow by Texas Monthly for thise interested) about the damage they do. They cost something over $100M in damage to the Texas economy every year and are such a problem that the state legalized shooting them from helicopters back in 2011.
I live in Massachusetts and it’s rutting season. In the last two weeks I’ve seen live deer on six occasions including two that we narrowly missed hitting with our truck. I’ve also seen two dead deer with the cars that hit them on the side of the road with airbags deployed.
There are ways to minimize potential exposure to local dangerous critters. I live in a rural setting and I keep my grass cut to deter snakes from setting up a home in the tall grass. They have zero desire to be around people. We spray for spiders around the house to keep them from coming in. I try to avoid driving near dusk and dawn so I can see the deer. The deer are usually just out at night anyway.
Moose are terrifying and territorial. They usually avoid humans, but don’t come near a mom(cow) and it’s kid(calf). I’ve saw cougar’s also. Actually, I’ve saw all these animals in the wild and I wouldn’t recommend it.
I once lived in Boulder, Colorado and there was a walking trail in the foothills above the city I used to hike in. At the trailhead, there was a big sign on how to deal with a mountain lion encounter. The best thing to do was to walk in a group or at least a pair, because the cougar will perceive you as prey that is too large for it to take on, or if there’s enough people, see you as a herd! So act like a herd of animals, but don’t run away - predators go after the stray that falls behind or wanders off.
Great seeing Sally & Millie doing a reaction together. My grandmother, when I was a teen, was picking raspberries w/ our family. She thought some of the needles caught around her ankle and she moved away pretty quickly. Found out a bit later she was bit by an eastern massasauga rattler (Pygmie rattlesnake), fortunately, for her it hit her dry, and very little venom was around it. the doctor extracted 2 fang shaped amber colored... scabs? or a scab/venom combo? Not sure. She got a bit sick, but not too badly ill, the doc I think gave her anti-venom anyway, just in case. We're in the center (slightly N, slightlt west, but center still) Of Ohio.
a couple of months ago a young cougar was in our backyard laying in our grass, and We had them in our yard several other times.. We live in the outskirts of Phoenix... Most would avoid people, but a small dog or cat would be a nice snack. coyotes are much more common.. the golf cources are great places for them to hunt Rabbits. Black bears were often seen in Wisconsin where we used to live.. Lots' of wooded areas, and they can come near to homes in smaller towns. Here in AZ I've seen rattle snakes several times and scorpions several times. It's sad that Europe, Great Briton seems to have killed off most of the larger animals that used to live there, but I guess it's been highter poplulated with humans for much longer. Deer definitely are an issue, Especially in Midwest, like WI.. it's VERY Common to hit a deer when driving.. the real issue death of the person, but then the car is also usually badly damaged, but folks who drive a lot on country roads almost always have either hit a deer or have come close, you have to watch for the light of the eyes in the headlights. The only reason the Bison hurt folks is people ARE STUPID!!! and want a photo.. Just like so many folks die at grand canyon because they want a photo shot. And also at the Grand Canyon there are A LOT of Elk all over near the tourist area.. and DO NOT go near them.. especially the males.. they are Very dangerous. But because they are so cool to see.. they are tolerated by the park apparently, and folks know to NOT go up to them.. to walk around the males especially.. but to see a herd of them is really cool to see when visiting the Park.
Two top rules with a predator are one never show fear and two never run. As soon as you run, you go from a possible threat or fellow predator to prey. Millie, please can you and James react to one of the documentaries about those 1916 attacks. I live where Timber Rattlesnakes are as well as Copperheads. Deer are very adaptable creatures, specifically the Whitetail deer. Moose are very dangerous mostly due to their size. They are able to cause a train to derail if hit by one. The antlers are also dangerous if the moose does charge you.
My sister had to call the state Wildlife Department to remove Cougars from a Ponderosa Pine on her property, twice in a few weeks. She had lived there for at least 20 years, and never seen one before. Fortunately, they haven't seen one since. I always check that tree now, before heading for my car..
I used to live in Vermont. There are some sightings of mountain lions there, though the state likes to deny it a lot. Mostly due to not wanting people to go hunting for them. Moose, however, are far more common. Especially during rut season. Only time I got to stay home from school due to an animal incident. No sense trying to go to school when there are eight bull moose fighting for mating rights in the middle of an apartment complex (apartment complex was on top of a hill and across from a farm with large, mostly empty fields.)
I commented on another review of this that one thing that isn't mentioned but is a growing concern is ticks. They are small and can carry a number of diseases and infections. The two most concerning are the deer tick which carries the bacteria responsible for Lyme Disease and triggers swelling and premature degrading of joints, and the lone star tick which carries an enzyme that can trigger an allergy to meat.
If we have a wet/cold winter, occasionally cougars will come down. One did last year, it's actually not a huge deal: the police will cordon off an area around it, animal control tranquilizes it and does a quick health check. Then they transport it back up into the mountains. Myself, and my neighbors keep a rifle near the veranda door just in case though... 2 other dangerous animals are the Mojave Viper and Arizona Bark scorpion. The Mojave Viper has the deadliest venom-and a bite can be fatal if not treated quickly. Fortunately its habitat is primarily around Baker/29 Palms and very Southern NV. The Bark is a small arachnid (adults are only about 3"/7cm long), but its venom while not normally fatal to humans can be VERY painful; and you should always get to an emergency room to be checked out. Luckily like all arachnids they are not aggressive and will run/hide rather than fight.
Ive lived in Arizona over 30 years seen lots of scorpions, sometimes theyre just crawling around the tub when you get ready to shower. Run across a couple brown recluse spiders too but never seen one of those bark scorpions
Most of the of the time, an attack by bison is due to people not respecting their space and it's honestly really really hard to feel bad for those who get attacked by them. I'm on the bison's side in that instance. 🤎🦬
Most of the bison attacks in Yellowstone and other state parks are due to human stupidity. People get too close trying to get photos , selfies or just wanting to touch them. There are tons of videos on this. You and your mom could check those videos out . God bless!
We definitely have deserts! I was born and raised in the Mojave desert and I lived in the Chihuahuan desert for a couple years. Texas has a lot of desert!
Milly, try to find a video of a guy walking away from a cougar who is following him, and he is recording it and walking backwards.. could be a lerning video that sticks with you if you happen to be in that sort of predicament.
Totally enjoyed your reactions to this video, you guys were great. Growing up around wild country, one of the first things we learned was NEVER pick up a rock or log without looking it over first for any snake. Never sit on a rock or log without checking it first for any snake or spider. Scorpions we didin't worry about so much as they were just pretty much only found in desert environments. However, once we moved to the Midwest, I learned very quickly that scorpions are found just about anywhere they want to be. The second thing we were taught was that when on a walk in the country, make noises...like talk a lot, sing, have a solo conversation. You really don't want to surprise a bear or mountain lion by being too quiet. And that part of the video about the moose? The animal with the outstanding rack of antlers is actually a bull wapiti in his prime for mating. Also not to be messes with, but we see tourons doing it all of the time in the parks, who then get upset about being tossed and gored.
I camp the winter in the desert in arizona, and scorpions and black widows are everywhere. I have been stung by a scorpion, once it stings you it keeps coming after you, it stung me on my side while I was sleeping. I experienced numbness in all my limbs and nose and lips for exactly 24 hours, but it just faded away ,kinda like when you sleep on your arm and it becomes numb. No lasting effects and it didn't even raise a bump.
One night as I was driving Semi Tractor Trailer on I-5 preparing to take exit offramp I saw a huge Bull Elk that was at least 9 feet height at withers standing in the highway center median. I live in the area and see herds of Elk in fields all around Azalea, Oregon so I am always especially at night keeping alert for them to avoid collision even with a large 80,000 gvw Semi Truck and Trailer they can do expensive damage to your rig.
My mother hit a deer once, during a rainy day and the impact totaled her car. She was alright but the airbag burned her arm. She only had that car for a month and a half.😢
I have been dogsledding in northern Wisconsin and Minnesota and the dog owners were more worried about the moose than they were the wolves. A pack of wolves are unlikely to attack a "pack" of dogs although if they are not attached to the sled they might attack an individual. Moose will attack a pack of their main enemies. Many mushers on the Iditarod have been attacked by moose on the route.
11:42 during an expedition tour, National Geographic, a private organization that promotes exploration, discovered a rattlesnake with no rattle on one of the islands of Channel Island National Park, off the coast of California! Apparently they evolved without rattles because there are no large mammals on that island (aside from man). Just as deadly, but without the rattle! Scary 😲
3:02 I was not my a brown recluse while camping when I was only 17. I spent over a week in the hospital. I had veins with black looking ink running through my veins around the bite. It was awful!!! I’d have 1,000 more c-sections and the recovery over having one more brown recluse bite. It was awful!
Been close to or bit by some of these. Much of America, even not far from domesticity, is wild. In the forests and hills beyond Nashville suburbs, there are lots of rattle snakes and water moccasins. Deer also. Deer attract puma. They enjoy nature as much as we do ;-). Spiders are often found in yards and inside your house.
I met a grizzly mom and her 2 cubs at the campground I was in back in '84. They first walked several blocks away along the river, then decided to come through the campground. No problems, probably because she wasn't surprised by us, and nobody came toward her and the cubs. Most of the time, bears leave you alone if they know you're there. The problems come when she's separated from her cubs by people, or they're surprised by us. Thus, making noise solves most problems before they even start. Also, it will definitely happen at national parks that the park rangers give you bear proof canisters, as well as telling you to hang your food between 2 trees. The big problem is when it gets put in the tent. I'm 76, and have yet to see either of the spider species. Wolves are usually very timid around people. The extra stuff on the bark scorpion's back is her brood of baby spiders. Re. deserts in AZ, there are 3 of our 5 there: Mojave (moe-HAH-vee); Sonoran (suh-NORE-un), and Chihuahuan (chee-WAH-wahn). The other 2 are the Great Basin (Death Vallley N.P.), and the Kobuk in Alaska's Arctic region. In the bison section, I'll never understand went from showing bison to (at 14:57) wildebeest in east Africa. Most of the injuries in Yellowstone and elsewhere are caused by ignorant tourists getting too close while trying to get the perfect picture. Duh!
If you are prepared and alert, you really have very little to worry about when camping in the US wilderness. Don’t keep your food in your tent, don’t sleep in the clothes you cook in, bring bear spray, stay alert of what is around you, make a lot of noise. I’ve camped multiple times in very deep wilderness. I’ve seen bears, moose came up near our tent, I’ve heard wolves howling at night, and I seen mountain lion (cougar) poop on the trails. It’s really not a big deal.
Moose and bison can go into a roids rage at the drop of a hat. Just beeping your car horn to tell them to move out of the way can trigger them. They see it as a challenge. Other than deer, you won’t see most of the ones on the list unless you purposely go looking for them. The US is not Australia with dangerous wildlife at every turn. There is this one town in Texas that is famous for rounding up rattlesnakes every year though. Rattlesnake anti venom is pretty widespread and available in areas where they are. Cool fact, with the exception of the coral snake, all snake bites are treated with the same anti venom.
In the midwest, more personally about Indiana. Deer cause an incredible large amount of damage and death as the jump out of corn fields. What they didn't say about Moose is that they kill so many people per year by going through windshields. If you ever seen in life a moose, you'd know they are real giants, and their legs make up half their body's
Florida has all kinds of creepy crawlers that can hurt you.....stay on the path and don't wander off into the grassy areas.....here in oklahoma scorpions are common, pesty little beasts. Millie, you need to watch the original Jaws, it's a classic.
We went to Yellowstone one year and there were a number of what I would call really dumb people who got out of their car to take a picture of the Buffalo. There are also people who will try to feed them from inside the car. But the Buffalo could not only cause damage to a car, but also tip it over. In Michigan, this is the season to really be on the lookout for deer. It is not only hunting season, but the deer are out and about, especially during the twilight hours. In 2021 there were 52,218 vehicle-deer crashes reported. Many of my family have hit them and we have narrowly avoided hitting them as well.
Bear attacks are rare, generally because they are afraid of humans, but if they feel threatened, they attack. Most attacks by a female bear are because they are trying to protect their cubs, if they have any, because they see us as a threat to the cubs. I think every mother can understand why a female bear is defensive and attacks anything that gets too close to her cubs. Mothers have the same protective instinct towards their children. (Although not all mothers, whether animal or human, have maternal instincts, in animals, more frequent when the female becomes a mother for the first time!).
A number of the video clips and photos in this video were the wrong animal. For example, the opening photo of a "moose" was actually an elk. And one of the shots of "bison" looked like antelope or something.
You see many Deer lying dead on roadways, mainly during the (Rut) mating season in the Fall. I can see many Deer each night and morning in my yard and the field behind and in front of my yard.
The experience camper always has at least one firearm . Best to have a powerful Rifle and a side arm pistol in case of a attack. Bear ...Wolf and Cougar are dangerous but the most dangerous is human beings.
Hi girls! I've had personal experience with a number of these creatures. Including 4 Brown Recluse bites, 1 scorpion sting, several near misses from rattlesnakes ( in addition to rattlesnakes, we have Coral snakes, Copperheads, and Water Moccasins, the Coral snake being related to the cobra. We also have some annoying critters like Tarantulas and racoons. The reason for all those brown recluse bites is that I worked in a woodshop that used to be a barn. As their name implies, they are a very light brown, very small, and reclusive. When bitten the first thing you feel is the most intense itching imaginable. It itches so bad you have to restrain yourself to keep from drawing blood. This subsides after about 15 minutes followed by a dull ache and the formation of a red spot about the size of your fingertip which, as necrosis develops over the next few days, sloughs off leaving a crater, which kinda heals over, but leaves a permanent scar, of which I have 4.
GB has a tiny scorpion that can barely sting you ;-) My boss hit a male deer while 50 mph on a moped. Nearly killed him. Buffalo are so agile they can jump a fence!
If you go to Texas in the spring, you can go to a "rattlesnake round-up" they sell snakebite kits & have hundreds of snaked in clear boxes , you can watch guys compete to see who can stay in a sleeping bag full of rattlesnakes the longest 😮😂 I tried rattlesnake meat, it's gristly. But it's a "Hootin' Good Time!"
I was bitten by a brown recluse spider while living in Florida.The spider dropped down the back of my shirt while I was talking with a friend in my fiancee's garage. I had my hands above head perched on the top beam of garage door. Within three hours of being bitten. The bite formed a boil like pustule, I was in the E.R. having dime size piece of flesh being removed from my back, having wound flushed out and been given an antibiotic i.v. to prevent further necrosis.
Moose will leave you alone if you leave them alone. They're not scary monsters or looking for a fight.They're what you see, big deer. But corner a mother with calves, she will put you down for her kids, so just try not to do that.
I recommend reacting to the Omak suicide race, it's the craziest wildest horse race in the world and it takes place every August in the town of Omak in Washington state. Despite its name no riders or horses commit suicide or die, although there have been injuries to riders and horses over the years, some serious, it's been held since 1933 and is part of the Omak Stampede which is a huge native American gathering and rodeo. The race consists of 20 riders racing across a field plunging over the edge and down a very steep hundred or so meter bank into the Omak River where they have to swim and ride across to the other side and and race about two blocks into a stadium and across a finish line, the first horse to cross the finish line with a rider aboard is the winner. The entire race last maybe a minute and a half to 2 minutes I would recommend watching a couple, specifically the 2021 and 2012 races. Thanx!
The "moose" segment contained a lot of photos of elk, a completely different species. But you should maintain your distance from each! They can and will attack you if you get too close or otherwise become too annoying.
What they don't tell you about those spiders is that they're extremely reclusive and bites are rare. They can sometimes be found in houses though, especially the Brown Recluse, which makes your chances of running into one a bit more likely. Don't let him kid you, cougars are found in New England rural and mountain areas as well, and in Florida. There are four Jaws films and your ma's right, the first is by far the best. One funny thing about moose that bears mentioning: They're exactly as aggro as the narrator said, but also pretty stupid. That doesn't help a potential victim at all (Beware of morons in large numbers, yes?) but does result in the more than a few damaged vehicles. Among them cars, buses, the very occasional train, and at least one 747.
I think it's kinda funny that the chances of hitting a deer in Montana is about 1 in 88, it's over 4,000 in Hawaii, you actually have a better chance of getting struck by lightning lol
In my opinion most accidents with the first group of deer in this video could be avoided if people would simply let up on the gas. Sometimes slowing down just a little is enough time for them to get out of the way...unless at night. Deer are blinded by the head lights. As for the Bison, it is almost always the humans fault, as they often will get out of their cars and approach them to for a chance at that "perfect" picture.
Honestly I don’t see much other than the odd squirrel, maybe a few birds, and some very harmless black racer snakes that roam the neighborhood. I saw a black bear once but that’s because a state park is near me. There was news of an eastern diamondback rattlesnake a bit further than my location which was caught by wildlife trappers not too long ago. A kid found it and called his grandma who called wildlife control. In the end no one got hurt and the snake was removed safely. That snake was let go in a wildlife area later. It made news as that snake is rare even in Florida especially in a suburban area.
I used to wrangle Buffalo and I can attest to all that was said about them. They are ill-tempered and do not see any reason to be friendly to humans even if they provide food and water. And they are very fast!!
There’s a good rule that when you’re driving in the forest in America if you hit a deer, the deer will die; if you hit a moose, you will die, and the moose will be fine. It’s like driving into a concrete wall head-on.
My dog was bitten this summer by a baby rattlesnake. The baby has no rattles yet because they have yet rushed their skin and are more deadly than adults because theirs poison is more concentrated and they haven’t learned how to control it yet. My dog lived but it was close. Here in the Deep South they’re everywhere.
With bear your not supposed to turn and run or with most deadly animals black bear you can usually yell at the bear like hey beat and hold your ground even if they bluff charge you. With grizzlies if you are attacked you should lay down face down get in the fetal position keep your hand ove the back of your neck amd head dont show the bear your face or it will usually disfigure you in a attack the fetal position works best with a back pack always carry bear spray or have someone with you who can carry a firearm in most states you can openly carry and borrow firearms from people who know you well .

A lot of the bison attacks in the US National Parks are caused by idiots trying to take a selfie next to said animal. The result is usually not good.
I never understood that. Guys, bison are typically pretty chill but that's unless you get in their space. Not provoking the natural tank should be obvious but common sense isn't common.
Shame the bison won't clean our gene pool of the idiots who do that. Every time you hear about those people, it's usually followed by a , "How stupid can you be???". Maybe we should stop saying that -- those people are obviously taking it as a challenge
Either that, or try to pet them...idiots.
I worry more about people who act like animals than I do animals themselves
I mean you do interact with wayyy more people than these animals sooo yea
True. The #1 most dangerous animal in the US is the Homo Sapient also known as Human. They are normally a gentile and social animal but are known to attack without provocation and injure or kill for no reason.
Lots of feral hominids roaming the streets.
Humans are definitely more dangerous and less predictable than other animals...
The most dangerous game.
MILLIE, you should locate the video of a man actually getting out of a bad situation with a mountain lion. He was hiking on a trail in Utah when he happened to come across her babies and then momma showed up. Frightening, but he did it right by never turning his back on her. I can say for sure she would have attacked him if he turned and ran.
When you turn and Run it Sparks their Prey drive
I was bitten by a Brown Recluse spider about 15 years ago. Theses spiders can appear inside houses, not just outdoors. In my case, it caused so much discomfort in my arm that it fealt tlike I had a really bad case of the flu, but my arm ached. It was so bad that It hurt to stand, to sit, and to ly down and try to sleep. Because of the nerve damage, I could not raize my arm, when out straight, above my shoulder. If I did, it felt like someone was trying to pull the nerves out of my fingertips. It was a good 18 months before the nerves repaired themselves, and all is good now.
Ouch when I hurt my wrist it hurt so bad. Had to sleep not knowing if it was broken.
I made the mistake of getting the Covid vaccine…and I now have severe nerve damage in my left arm…after those 2 injections… Weakness, loss of sensation and pain in my fingers…
Yep…a “Duh” decision on my part…
I have learned my lesson, believe me!!
With most predators, to minimize attacks, you should walk backwards slowly.
Jaws was filmed on Martha's Vineyard as some of the beaches I swam in as a child and teenager. That added to the effect of the movie for me.
No it wasn't
@@jahnj2523it was filmed in Martha's Vineyard
My family has been on the island of Martha's Vineyard for over 100 years. It is on when referring to the island. It is in when referring to the individual towns. But that isn't the point I was making. My point was that movie scenes of attacks have more of an impact when it is a familiar location. Especially considering my mother would warn us not to swim out too far. Our dad saw "20 footers out there". Although those were nurse sharks, not great whites.
I met a man who worked in Alaska laying railroad ties on a bridge. One worker dropped a pancake between two closely placed ties. Took 6 men to move one tie. The grizzly ripped the tie off the bridge with one paw and threw it into the river below to reach the pancake. those ties were 12 feet long. I saw one stand up in a zoo once. I stepped back.
Millie, you should show your mum the 911 boatlift video. I think she'd be really touched.
My two daughters have camped a lot in Girl Scouts. We live in Florida. Most of yhe time, we are taught about apex predators and how to be safe in the face of one. Remember, they are usually more afraid of you than you are of them.
My niece wrecked her car hitting a deer just a couple of weeks ago.
As for mountain lions, in California they are everywhere, not uncommonly turning up in suburban neighborhoods, especially when drought or other conditions drive them from more rural areas.
We had a family friend that was in Alaska on vacation. He was driving down the road and a moose walked out in front of him... he hit the moose. He didn't make it, the moose just walked off. The pictures of the accident looked like he had hit an invisible brick wall.
Fun "fact" (not really a fact... just a general rule) about scorpions. The larger the claw, the less potent their sting. A deathstalker scorpion... great, very apt, name... tiny little claws. An emperor scorpion... giant claws, about as bad as a bee sting. The emperor doesn't have strong venom, so they have big claws to fight/defend with... the deathstalker, they just DGAF... "bring it on, and good luck"
I don't know why sharks keep ranking so high in these... "more than a dozen a year..." it's fearmongering. Hot dogs kill more people than that. More people die getting thrown off of horses. Cats trip and kill more old ladies than that... Having been stung by a lionfish before, I worry more about them than a shark.
I was always told hit a deer instead of a tree and hit a tree instead of a moose. I can't think of anyone who lived hitting a moose although I'm sure there are some. Quite a few in Maine
I cannot stress enough how much tourists need to follow any and all safety signs and warnings as well as reading up about this kind of stuff BEFORE coming for a visit. We have had a huge uptick in visitors from other countries getting hurt in recent years. This video shows just how dangerous these critters are. And believe it or not but this is just the top ten, there are many more. This is a really big country with tons of wildlife so please be careful when you travel here.
Yes, but if they only visit cities, especially in the northern parts of the U.S., their chances of encountering one of these is virtually zero, with the exception of deer.
Public Service Announcement, 842. My dear, evidently not too bright, Fellow Americans. Wild animals are not standing around waiting for you to pet them. They are minding their own business and just want to be left alone. Those bison you see out in a field? They aren't tame. Don't try to pet them, because chances are very high, that they will kill you. I'm not joking. Google it. If you get yourself killed doing something stupid with/to wild animals, we will feel grief for your parents, but not you. You have been told to leave wild animals alone for decades, but every year, some nitwit thinks it's all exaggeration. It's not.
Brown bears are not through out the US, but check on where you are going first.
@@fridaylong2812I’m from Vermont, we have both black and brown bears here.
@@marydavis5234In the U.S. brown bears can be found only in Alaska and several northwestern states.
In Texas, both whitetail deer and feral pigs are traffic hazards. A friend had her car totalled hitting a hog.
Feral hogs are no joke. I remember reading an article awhile back, before I moved(it's an article titled Apocalypse Sow by Texas Monthly for thise interested) about the damage they do. They cost something over $100M in damage to the Texas economy every year and are such a problem that the state legalized shooting them from helicopters back in 2011.
I live in Massachusetts and it’s rutting season. In the last two weeks I’ve seen live deer on six occasions including two that we narrowly missed hitting with our truck. I’ve also seen two dead deer with the cars that hit them on the side of the road with airbags deployed.
Florida has cougars, Northern Michigan, Minnesota, Northern Wisconsin. Although the natural resources departments dont like to admit it.
There are ways to minimize potential exposure to local dangerous critters. I live in a rural setting and I keep my grass cut to deter snakes from setting up a home in the tall grass. They have zero desire to be around people. We spray for spiders around the house to keep them from coming in. I try to avoid driving near dusk and dawn so I can see the deer. The deer are usually just out at night anyway.
Moose are terrifying and territorial. They usually avoid humans, but don’t come near a mom(cow) and it’s kid(calf). I’ve saw cougar’s also. Actually, I’ve saw all these animals in the wild and I wouldn’t recommend it.
Or males during mating season.
Come on let's be real...us guys have had our fair share of run ins with cougars
We used to have them in our yard but we let them be, beautiful animals and they are tasty 😋
Every Summer, we have a Moose family show up across the street in a big field .
@@marydavis5234 that’s really cool.
I once lived in Boulder, Colorado and there was a walking trail in the foothills above the city I used to hike in. At the trailhead, there was a big sign on how to deal with a mountain lion encounter. The best thing to do was to walk in a group or at least a pair, because the cougar will perceive you as prey that is too large for it to take on, or if there’s enough people, see you as a herd! So act like a herd of animals, but don’t run away - predators go after the stray that falls behind or wanders off.
And always make sure that one of your herd is slower than you (jk).
Great seeing Sally & Millie doing a reaction together.
My grandmother, when I was a teen, was picking raspberries w/ our family. She thought some of the needles caught around her ankle and she moved away pretty quickly. Found out a bit later she was bit by an eastern massasauga rattler (Pygmie rattlesnake), fortunately, for her it hit her dry, and very little venom was around it. the doctor extracted 2 fang shaped amber colored... scabs? or a scab/venom combo? Not sure. She got a bit sick, but not too badly ill, the doc I think gave her anti-venom anyway, just in case. We're in the center (slightly N, slightlt west, but center still) Of Ohio.
Again, your mother is such a sweetheart and a gentle soul. She's awesome ❤️🪖
I actually had a friend that died recently trying to dodge a deer while driving.
Mum is amazing! Enjoy seeing her in the videos with Millie and James👍👍👍
a couple of months ago a young cougar was in our backyard laying in our grass, and We had them in our yard several other times.. We live in the outskirts of Phoenix... Most would avoid people, but a small dog or cat would be a nice snack. coyotes are much more common.. the golf cources are great places for them to hunt Rabbits. Black bears were often seen in Wisconsin where we used to live.. Lots' of wooded areas, and they can come near to homes in smaller towns. Here in AZ I've seen rattle snakes several times and scorpions several times. It's sad that Europe, Great Briton seems to have killed off most of the larger animals that used to live there, but I guess it's been highter poplulated with humans for much longer. Deer definitely are an issue, Especially in Midwest, like WI.. it's VERY Common to hit a deer when driving.. the real issue death of the person, but then the car is also usually badly damaged, but folks who drive a lot on country roads almost always have either hit a deer or have come close, you have to watch for the light of the eyes in the headlights. The only reason the Bison hurt folks is people ARE STUPID!!! and want a photo.. Just like so many folks die at grand canyon because they want a photo shot. And also at the Grand Canyon there are A LOT of Elk all over near the tourist area.. and DO NOT go near them.. especially the males.. they are Very dangerous. But because they are so cool to see.. they are tolerated by the park apparently, and folks know to NOT go up to them.. to walk around the males especially.. but to see a herd of them is really cool to see when visiting the Park.
That's the Beesley's next reaction video, Jaws! lol 🙂
Two top rules with a predator are one never show fear and two never run. As soon as you run, you go from a possible threat or fellow predator to prey. Millie, please can you and James react to one of the documentaries about those 1916 attacks. I live where Timber Rattlesnakes are as well as Copperheads. Deer are very adaptable creatures, specifically the Whitetail deer. Moose are very dangerous mostly due to their size. They are able to cause a train to derail if hit by one. The antlers are also dangerous if the moose does charge you.
My sister had to call the state Wildlife Department to remove Cougars from a Ponderosa Pine on her property, twice in a few weeks. She had lived there for at least 20 years, and never seen one before. Fortunately, they haven't seen one since. I always check that tree now, before heading for my car..
I used to live in Vermont. There are some sightings of mountain lions there, though the state likes to deny it a lot. Mostly due to not wanting people to go hunting for them.
Moose, however, are far more common. Especially during rut season. Only time I got to stay home from school due to an animal incident. No sense trying to go to school when there are eight bull moose fighting for mating rights in the middle of an apartment complex (apartment complex was on top of a hill and across from a farm with large, mostly empty fields.)
Mountain lions (cougars) don’t roar, they purr. Which is cute af
Love seeing you on the channel.
I commented on another review of this that one thing that isn't mentioned but is a growing concern is ticks. They are small and can carry a number of diseases and infections. The two most concerning are the deer tick which carries the bacteria responsible for Lyme Disease and triggers swelling and premature degrading of joints, and the lone star tick which carries an enzyme that can trigger an allergy to meat.
There’s are deserts out in the western US the largest being the Sonoran Desert, but also scorpions are found in Florida as well
If we have a wet/cold winter, occasionally cougars will come down. One did last year, it's actually not a huge deal: the police will cordon off an area around it, animal control tranquilizes it and does a quick health check. Then they transport it back up into the mountains. Myself, and my neighbors keep a rifle near the veranda door just in case though...
2 other dangerous animals are the Mojave Viper and Arizona Bark scorpion. The Mojave Viper has the deadliest venom-and a bite can be fatal if not treated quickly. Fortunately its habitat is primarily around Baker/29 Palms and very Southern NV. The Bark is a small arachnid (adults are only about 3"/7cm long), but its venom while not normally fatal to humans can be VERY painful; and you should always get to an emergency room to be checked out. Luckily like all arachnids they are not aggressive and will run/hide rather than fight.
I was bit on the back by a brown recluse about a month ago it’s still healing 😂
Ouchy.
Ive lived in Arizona over 30 years seen lots of scorpions, sometimes theyre just crawling around the tub when you get ready to shower. Run across a couple brown recluse spiders too but never seen one of those bark scorpions
Most of the of the time, an attack by bison is due to people not respecting their space and it's honestly really really hard to feel bad for those who get attacked by them. I'm on the bison's side in that instance. 🤎🦬
I been bit by a brown recluse twice..left with scars..iv ran into alot on this list just from camping...and the cougar will see you before you see it
Most of the bison attacks in Yellowstone and other state parks are due to human stupidity. People get too close trying to get photos , selfies or just wanting to touch them. There are tons of videos on this. You and your mom could check those videos out . God bless!
We definitely have deserts! I was born and raised in the Mojave desert and I lived in the Chihuahuan desert for a couple years. Texas has a lot of desert!
Milly, try to find a video of a guy walking away from a cougar who is following him, and he is recording it and walking backwards.. could be a lerning video that sticks with you if you happen to be in that sort of predicament.
Totally enjoyed your reactions to this video, you guys were great. Growing up around wild country, one of the first things we learned was NEVER pick up a rock or log without looking it over first for any snake. Never sit on a rock or log without checking it first for any snake or spider. Scorpions we didin't worry about so much as they were just pretty much only found in desert environments. However, once we moved to the Midwest, I learned very quickly that scorpions are found just about anywhere they want to be. The second thing we were taught was that when on a walk in the country, make noises...like talk a lot, sing, have a solo conversation. You really don't want to surprise a bear or mountain lion by being too quiet. And that part of the video about the moose? The animal with the outstanding rack of antlers is actually a bull wapiti in his prime for mating. Also not to be messes with, but we see tourons doing it all of the time in the parks, who then get upset about being tossed and gored.
I camp the winter in the desert in arizona, and scorpions and black widows are everywhere. I have been stung by a scorpion, once it stings you it keeps coming after you, it stung me on my side while I was sleeping. I experienced numbness in all my limbs and nose and lips for exactly 24 hours, but it just faded away ,kinda like when you sleep on your arm and it becomes numb. No lasting effects and it didn't even raise a bump.
One night as I was driving Semi Tractor Trailer on I-5 preparing to take exit offramp I saw a huge Bull Elk that was at least 9 feet height at withers standing in the highway center median. I live in the area and see herds of Elk in fields all around Azalea, Oregon so I am always especially at night keeping alert for them to avoid collision even with a large 80,000 gvw Semi Truck and Trailer they can do expensive damage to your rig.
Hello from Oregon, the land of bears and cougars LOL. Great video, thanx! Notice gators and crocs didn't even make the list.
My mother hit a deer once, during a rainy day and the impact totaled her car. She was alright but the airbag burned her arm. She only had that car for a month and a half.😢
I have been dogsledding in northern Wisconsin and Minnesota and the dog owners were more worried about the moose than they were the wolves. A pack of wolves are unlikely to attack a "pack" of dogs although if they are not attached to the sled they might attack an individual. Moose will attack a pack of their main enemies. Many mushers on the Iditarod have been attacked by moose on the route.
So to the moose, the dogs are the same as a pack of wolves…their enemy?
That’s interesting.
11:42 during an expedition tour, National Geographic, a private organization that promotes exploration, discovered a rattlesnake with no rattle on one of the islands of Channel Island National Park, off the coast of California! Apparently they evolved without rattles because there are no large mammals on that island (aside from man). Just as deadly, but without the rattle! Scary 😲
Mountain lions are found in way more than 16 states and scorpions aren’t exclusive to deserts at all, they can be found in at least 27 states
3:02 I was not my a brown recluse while camping when I was only 17. I spent over a week in the hospital. I had veins with black looking ink running through my veins around the bite. It was awful!!! I’d have 1,000 more c-sections and the recovery over having one more brown recluse bite. It was awful!
@10:42 I agree G- mum the 1st jaws movie iscthe best.
Been close to or bit by some of these. Much of America, even not far from domesticity, is wild. In the forests and hills beyond Nashville suburbs, there are lots of rattle snakes and water moccasins. Deer also. Deer attract puma. They enjoy nature as much as we do ;-). Spiders are often found in yards and inside your house.
My kids (when small) called them "stinkin' scorpins" I got stung felt like a bad wasp sting😢
I met a grizzly mom and her 2 cubs at the campground I was in back in '84. They first walked several blocks away along the river, then decided to come through the campground. No problems, probably because she wasn't surprised by us, and nobody came toward her and the cubs. Most of the time, bears leave you alone if they know you're there. The problems come when she's separated from her cubs by people, or they're surprised by us. Thus, making noise solves most problems before they even start. Also, it will definitely happen at national parks that the park rangers give you bear proof canisters, as well as telling you to hang your food between 2 trees. The big problem is when it gets put in the tent.
I'm 76, and have yet to see either of the spider species.
Wolves are usually very timid around people.
The extra stuff on the bark scorpion's back is her brood of baby spiders.
Re. deserts in AZ, there are 3 of our 5 there: Mojave (moe-HAH-vee); Sonoran (suh-NORE-un), and Chihuahuan (chee-WAH-wahn). The other 2 are the Great Basin (Death Vallley N.P.), and the Kobuk in Alaska's Arctic region.
In the bison section, I'll never understand went from showing bison to (at 14:57) wildebeest in east Africa. Most of the injuries in Yellowstone and elsewhere are caused by ignorant tourists getting too close while trying to get the perfect picture. Duh!
Always remember - the natural areas are not petting zoos, even if they are part of a park.
@@thomasmacdiarmid8251 , bingo!
I live in a decent size city in Texas and we get scorpions in our house. I thought they were only out in the country, but no.
If you are prepared and alert, you really have very little to worry about when camping in the US wilderness. Don’t keep your food in your tent, don’t sleep in the clothes you cook in, bring bear spray, stay alert of what is around you, make a lot of noise. I’ve camped multiple times in very deep wilderness. I’ve seen bears, moose came up near our tent, I’ve heard wolves howling at night, and I seen mountain lion (cougar) poop on the trails. It’s really not a big deal.
Moose and bison can go into a roids rage at the drop of a hat. Just beeping your car horn to tell them to move out of the way can trigger them. They see it as a challenge.
Other than deer, you won’t see most of the ones on the list unless you purposely go looking for them. The US is not Australia with dangerous wildlife at every turn. There is this one town in Texas that is famous for rounding up rattlesnakes every year though. Rattlesnake anti venom is pretty widespread and available in areas where they are. Cool fact, with the exception of the coral snake, all snake bites are treated with the same anti venom.
In the midwest, more personally about Indiana. Deer cause an incredible large amount of damage and death as the jump out of corn fields.
What they didn't say about Moose is that they kill so many people per year by going through windshields. If you ever seen in life a moose, you'd know they are real giants, and their legs make up half their body's
We have the Florida panther here along with Gators and other things
Florida has all kinds of creepy crawlers that can hurt you.....stay on the path and don't wander off into the grassy areas.....here in oklahoma scorpions are common, pesty little beasts. Millie, you need to watch the original Jaws, it's a classic.
We went to Yellowstone one year and there were a number of what I would call really dumb people who got out of their car to take a picture of the Buffalo. There are also people who will try to feed them from inside the car. But the Buffalo could not only cause damage to a car, but also tip it over.
In Michigan, this is the season to really be on the lookout for deer. It is not only hunting season, but the deer are out and about, especially during the twilight hours. In 2021 there were 52,218 vehicle-deer crashes reported. Many of my family have hit them and we have narrowly avoided hitting them as well.
Bear attacks are rare, generally because they are afraid of humans, but if they feel threatened, they attack. Most attacks by a female bear are because they are trying to protect their cubs, if they have any, because they see us as a threat to the cubs. I think every mother can understand why a female bear is defensive and attacks anything that gets too close to her cubs. Mothers have the same protective instinct towards their children. (Although not all mothers, whether animal or human, have maternal instincts, in animals, more frequent when the female becomes a mother for the first time!).
You should watch Casual Geographic next
A number of the video clips and photos in this video were the wrong animal. For example, the opening photo of a "moose" was actually an elk. And one of the shots of "bison" looked like antelope or something.
The thing to remember about predatory animals is that humans maybe easier prey than their regular prey.
Suggestion: do a few reaction videos to wild West history. Begin with Olive Oatman, John Colter, and Herman Lehman.
I got to pet some buffalos when I tossed hay to them. I was very careful and watched their demeanor.
10:40 Millie’s mom is so amazing! I hope they never stoo doing these reaction videos together! ❤
You see many Deer lying dead on roadways, mainly during the (Rut) mating season in the Fall. I can see many Deer each night and morning in my yard and the field behind and in front of my yard.
Yellowstone has the last remaining truly wild herd of buffalo
Surprised alligators didn’t make the cut
The experience camper always has at least one firearm . Best to have a powerful Rifle and a side arm pistol in case of a attack. Bear ...Wolf and Cougar are dangerous but the most dangerous is human beings.
Hi girls! I've had personal experience with a number of these creatures. Including 4 Brown Recluse bites, 1 scorpion sting, several near misses from rattlesnakes ( in addition to rattlesnakes, we have Coral snakes, Copperheads, and Water Moccasins, the Coral snake being related to the cobra. We also have some annoying critters like Tarantulas and racoons.
The reason for all those brown recluse bites is that I worked in a woodshop that used to be a barn. As their name implies, they are a very light brown, very small, and reclusive. When bitten the first thing you feel is the most intense itching imaginable. It itches so bad you have to restrain yourself to keep from drawing blood. This subsides after about 15 minutes followed by a dull ache and the formation of a red spot about the size of your fingertip which, as necrosis develops over the next few days, sloughs off leaving a crater, which kinda heals over, but leaves a permanent scar, of which I have 4.
DONT TURN AROUND AND RUN!! I know it sounds counterintuitive but. That’s the last thing you do which most of the animals
GB has a tiny scorpion that can barely sting you ;-) My boss hit a male deer while 50 mph on a moped. Nearly killed him. Buffalo are so agile they can jump a fence!
If you go to Texas in the spring, you can go to a "rattlesnake round-up" they sell snakebite kits & have hundreds of snaked in clear boxes , you can watch guys compete to see who can stay in a sleeping bag full of rattlesnakes the longest 😮😂 I tried rattlesnake meat, it's gristly. But it's a "Hootin' Good Time!"
I was bitten by a brown recluse spider while living in Florida.The spider dropped down the back of my shirt while I was talking with a friend in my fiancee's garage. I had my hands above head perched on the top beam of garage door. Within three hours of being bitten. The bite formed a boil like pustule, I was in the E.R. having dime size piece of flesh being removed from my back, having wound flushed out and been given an antibiotic i.v. to prevent further necrosis.
Moose will leave you alone if you leave them alone. They're not scary monsters or looking for a fight.They're what you see, big deer. But corner a mother with calves, she will put you down for her kids, so just try not to do that.
I recommend reacting to the Omak suicide race, it's the craziest wildest horse race in the world and it takes place every August in the town of Omak in Washington state. Despite its name no riders or horses commit suicide or die, although there have been injuries to riders and horses over the years, some serious, it's been held since 1933 and is part of the Omak Stampede which is a huge native American gathering and rodeo. The race consists of 20 riders racing across a field plunging over the edge and down a very steep hundred or so meter bank into the Omak River where they have to swim and ride across to the other side and and race about two blocks into a stadium and across a finish line, the first horse to cross the finish line with a rider aboard is the winner. The entire race last maybe a minute and a half to 2 minutes I would recommend watching a couple, specifically the 2021 and 2012 races. Thanx!
They did show moose but a lot of what they were calling moose were actually elk.
Totally listen to mum and watch Jaws 1 & 2 XD Seriously, its the best shark movie.
The "moose" segment contained a lot of photos of elk, a completely different species. But you should maintain your distance from each! They can and will attack you if you get too close or otherwise become too annoying.
What they don't tell you about those spiders is that they're extremely reclusive and bites are rare. They can sometimes be found in houses though, especially the Brown Recluse, which makes your chances of running into one a bit more likely.
Don't let him kid you, cougars are found in New England rural and mountain areas as well, and in Florida.
There are four Jaws films and your ma's right, the first is by far the best.
One funny thing about moose that bears mentioning: They're exactly as aggro as the narrator said, but also pretty stupid. That doesn't help a potential victim at all (Beware of morons in large numbers, yes?) but does result in the more than a few damaged vehicles. Among them cars, buses, the very occasional train, and at least one 747.
I still haven't actually seen a Brown recluse though. Mostly just black widow and Garden spider.
It’s safe to come here as long as you follow the safety guidelines
They keep showing ELK and not Moose 😂
Millie you're Mom's hair looks beautiful...
Plus you look amazing having a newborn baby...
I think it's kinda funny that the chances of hitting a deer in Montana is about 1 in 88, it's over 4,000 in Hawaii, you actually have a better chance of getting struck by lightning lol
In my opinion most accidents with the first group of deer in this video could be avoided if people would simply let up on the gas. Sometimes slowing down just a little is enough time for them to get out of the way...unless at night. Deer are blinded by the head lights. As for the Bison, it is almost always the humans fault, as they often will get out of their cars and approach them to for a chance at that "perfect" picture.
Honestly I don’t see much other than the odd squirrel, maybe a few birds, and some very harmless black racer snakes that roam the neighborhood. I saw a black bear once but that’s because a state park is near me. There was news of an eastern diamondback rattlesnake a bit further than my location which was caught by wildlife trappers not too long ago. A kid found it and called his grandma who called wildlife control. In the end no one got hurt and the snake was removed safely. That snake was let go in a wildlife area later. It made news as that snake is rare even in Florida especially in a suburban area.
I used to wrangle Buffalo and I can attest to all that was said about them. They are ill-tempered and do not see any reason to be friendly to humans even if they provide food and water. And they are very fast!!
Yeah basically what I expect from a Buffalo. They will eat us up.
There’s a good rule that when you’re driving in the forest in America if you hit a deer, the deer will die; if you hit a moose, you will die, and the moose will be fine. It’s like driving into a concrete wall head-on.
Much of Arizona is hot, and somewhat desert-ish.
With bears, there is a saying:
If it's black, fight back.
If it's brown, lie down.
If it's white, kiss your ass goodnight.
My dog was bitten this summer by a baby rattlesnake. The baby has no rattles yet because they have yet rushed their skin and are more deadly than adults because theirs poison is more concentrated and they haven’t learned how to control it yet. My dog lived but it was close. Here in the Deep South they’re everywhere.
With bear your not supposed to turn and run or with most deadly animals black bear you can usually yell at the bear like hey beat and hold your ground even if they bluff charge you. With grizzlies if you are attacked you should lay down face down get in the fetal position keep your hand ove the back of your neck amd head dont show the bear your face or it will usually disfigure you in a attack the fetal position works best with a back pack always carry bear spray or have someone with you who can carry a firearm in most states you can openly carry and borrow firearms from people who know you well .
Talking about moose and showing elk😂
I'm just glad that snapping turtles aren't poisonous, because they are without doubt the most truculent animals on God's green Earth.
This video makes me as scared of our country as I am as Australia and all their crazy organisms!
the info on cougar/mt. lion is wrong ....i have seen them in NJ
NEVER run from predator animals!!!
The most dangerous animal in North America is the drunk driver!
I was bitten by a brown Recluse, out me in the hospital for 4 days. I have a massive scar from it.
