@Liquid_Calcium28 yeah that seems pretty unlikely assuming the rhinoceros attacked fist and rhinoceros normally do that but also the hippo definitely couldn't just one shot a rhino things have some thicc skin mean if it's in the water the rhino is at a disadvantage and that's really the only way that I can imagine the rhinoceros Losing but the hippo is still a strong Opponent so one shot from the horn would likely not be enough to completely kill it Instantly definitely depending on where it's hit though.
clint should absolutely write his own reptile rumble... and it will be insanely comprehensive, with like 500 different reptiles (which are all his favourites) with reasonable matchups in sensible locales.
95% of the match-ups are "these animals are not inclined to fight each other. They completely ignore each other whilst continuing on their merry way, therefore withdrawing from the match"
The bear is hibernating and moving slowly! The rabbit runs away, stepping on a loose rock as it exits the bear's cave. The cave collapses, killing the bear. Rabbit wins! 😂
No elephants allowed- anyway, Douc Langur vs Golden Mole! Golden Mole 's tunnel collapse causes a sinkhole that swallows up the Langur! Golden Mole wins!
The chuckwalla enters the final round with its first contestant - the huge gharial with its mouth full of teeth. The chuckwalla is tiny and is a herbivore, and so doesn't stand much of a chance. The chuckwalla looks pretty nervous, standing in silence when - **ZAP!** A bolt of lightning strikes the gharial who falls to the floor immediately. **CHUCKWALLA WINS!** In the second part of the final round, the chuckwalla is facing the Inland Taipan, with its strong venom. The chuckwalla backs in fear, completely helpless, when - **SPLAT!** A sudden asteroid falls and lands on the Inland Taipan's head, killing it instantly. **CHUCKWALLA VICTORY !!**
@@kellybraun7048why not take it a step further and read some old children's dinosaur books. Stegosaurus with two brains and fire breathing parasaurolophus are pretty wild ideas I've read about as a kid lol
Incidentally, in "The Ultimate Jungle Rumble", the black mamba competes and loses in the EXACT same way...except that in this case, a gorilla threw the rock at it.
@@killdozer7792 to be fair, at least a gorilla would actually be smart enough to do that at a snake, I don't think a chuckwalla would actually have the forethought to cause a loose boulder to fall on a snake lol
I think the real reason the mamba died is because the author realized the mistake of their lineups halfway through writing the book and needed a more diverse final.

@@GoofyAhhBoxy Ant VS Tiger Obviously the tiger is far bigger than the ant, so it should win. Right? So to make the fight more fair, it’s a baby tiger. The young tiger hasn’t been taught basic survival instincts and as soon as the ant crawls onto it and bites it, the tiger runs into a tree causing a branch to land on its head. The ant is small enough to fit into small gaps in the branch and escapes unharmed. Ant wins!

Please review all of these for as long as they are published. My kids and I had such a laugh at the commentary. "In the water, the green sea turtle could win by watching," has us in stitches. Your videos are so fun and educational.
Clints reactions to these 2 things made me laugh so much. Im wiping tears 😂 1. The turtle on turtle violence 2. The chuckwallas success Side note: im still laughing at the gharials possible aneurysm
This was great and made me smile. I am a special education primary teacher and can't wait to play this for my class. They love anything about animals. We have watched many of your videos as I am a new crested gecko owner and they want to know what I'm talking about . Yes please review the other books. Thank you

"a rock fall and crush the combatant" is literally a running gag in DnD on how to cut fight fight shortly and anticlimactically. That was so ridiculous to see, thanks for the laugh !
I'm going to go with these books are a win. Yes they are silly and absolutely absurd, but that basically sums up my boys (and their friends) when they were young. A book that can hold the interest of a child, sprinkle some facts and education, and foster a love of reading is a win imo. That being said, Clint's reactions are a win for the adults who've had to suffer the absurd, so please do more
You're absolutely right. My Mom was an elementary school teacher and was given a lot of grief when the other teacher's found out she was allowing her students to read Goosebumps, animè, and comic books. Mom's answer was to get the kids "reading anything! As long as they're reading!" I forgot that. Thank you.
@alicecain4851 You're welcome. I love books, and when my kids started school, I was blessed with teachers who had the same beliefs in books and reading as I did. My boys love reading, not so much at them moment as it's all university text books now, but I firmly believe they wouldn't be as successful today without the access to material they enjoyed as children.
it's a win to teach kids completely inaccurate and misleading information? and as to the 'as long as they're reading something' - what an asinine comment. Would you give greys anatomy to kids? would you let them read mein kampf? would you have them read the kama sutra? This complete disregard for critical thinking, or accuracy in something portraying itself as scientific, is actually the opposite of what we should be teaching kids. Entertaining for them sure, but just like I wouldn't dare let my children watch Keeping up with the Kardashians, because it isn't age appropriate and provides no real insight or value, this book perpetuates ignorance and encourages a lack of critical thinking. Both things that are vitally important in a childs development.
Minus the misinformation, I think these books are a fun idea! I remember I loved a sort of similar book called “101 most dangerous things on the planet” or something which taught me about a lot of cool weird stuff. Like ball lightning! It even gave survival tips for all of them (like how to get off of thin ice) This sort of stuff is a great way to get kids interested in science. And at least the misinformation isn’t… that bad? Like, the ocean rumble book had actually incorrect numbers for the sailfish 😂😂😂
@@kezia8027 There’s a lot of correct and interesting facts in this book. Clint says as much with his little “that’s true!” contributions. This book is a fictional scenario of animals kids think are cool having a fighting tournament. Could it be done better? Yes, definitely. Like, why disqualify so many of the coolest reptiles? Why is this the luckiest Chuckwalla in the universe? Why the heck did they have the gharial use its tail (which isn’t even whip-like) as a whip? Reptile Rumble isn’t even as bad as Ocean Rumble (which had actually incorrect fun facts (sailfish speed), a narwhal using its tusk like a shishkebab, an incorrect picture/name for the sea snake, venom being called “poison” multiple times, a stone fish killing a polar bear, squid arms being called “legs”, and a man o’ war defeating a leatherback sea turtle… which is a gelatinovore. That’s like horse vs grass and somehow the grass wins) Clint himself said in his review of Ultimate Ocean Rumble that the facts being accurate was the only strength of the Ultimate Reptile Rumble. And even ocean rumble did have some interesting and true information, like that man o’ wars are actually a bunch of smaller sea creatures not just one. Something I think is worth noting: the author seems to at least be improving their accuracy as they go. The infamously horrible Ocean Rumble was published in 2015. The comparatively less horrible Reptile Rumble was published in 2021. So, there’s that lol I agree that this book isn’t great, but it is still educational. It gets kids interested in science, particularly zoology. There are much better educational books for kids (like one of my absolute favourite books as a kid “First Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs and Prehistoric Life”) but a lot of kids won’t be interested in books that are overtly educational (especially if they have encyclopedia in the title lol), so silly “what if?” books can get those kids interested in learning. Also I can’t believe the outrageous comparisons you’re making lol I’m gonna write a whole other comment on those 😂😂
Okay, the ULTIMATE reptile rumble should definitely not have included a chuckwalla or an amphisbaenian, or anything that stood a chance against either one. Here are my picks for an actual ultimate reptile rumble. I'm choosing these because they each have unique abilities and are what I would consider to be the most powerful members of their category: Salt Water Crocodile - the biggest and most powerful crocodilian Komodo Dragon - the biggest and most powerful lizard, also venomous Reticulated Python - the longest snake King Cobra - the largest venomous snake Inland Taipan - the most venomous snake American Alligator - not as big and powerful as the Salty, but with much better mobility out of the water Common Snapping Turtle - It doesn't stand a chance, but this is probably the most dangerous kind of turtle, and they deserve some representation Spitting Cobra - Not only a venomous snake, but one with a ranged attack Green Anaconda - the heaviest snake Black Mamba - Fastest snake, still large and highly venomous Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake - The longest viper, with excellent camouflage and very long fangs. Crocodile Monitor - Another big monitor to make an even 12 I know that this list is weighted toward snakes, particularly venomous ones, but snakes seem to have the most unique gimmicks to them, and venom is a great equalizer in these kinds of fights. Snakes also hunt lizards a lot more than lizards hunt snakes, which kinda already knocks most lizards off the list. The poor snapping turtle is way out of its league, but it's the only turtle with any serious offensive capabilities, and it might even defeat one or two of the smaller snakes if it gets lucky. The Salt Water Croc definitely has the power to beat anything on this list if it gets in a bite, but it is not a sure winner by any means. Constrictors can and do take out crocodilians, and I think both the Retic and the Anaconda could take out even a Salty if they got a wrap on it. Of the venomous snakes, I think the King Cobra would be the most likely to emerge victorious. It does, after all, make its living by eating other snakes, and it has quite potent venom. The Rattlesnake could probably pierce the tough crocodilian hide with its long fangs, and could use its camouflage to surprise other opponents. The Spitting Cobra would be a bit of a wildcard, given its ranged attack, but I think the crocodilians, with their widely-spaced eyes and nictitating membranes would be able to beat it without much trouble. The Komodo Dragon would be a very strong contender, and could probably defeat most of the other animals in the lineup under the right conditions. The Anaconda, Retic, and Salty would be the biggest challenges for the Dragon, though, and I honestly don't see the Dragon beating the Salty. I would give the advantage in a battle between the American Alligator and the Komodo Dragon to the Dragon, though, since the Dragon has at least as good mobility and has the advantage of venom. One fight that I think would be interesting for showing off the relative abilities and the differences between the venomous snakes would be the Rattlesnake vs. the Spitting Cobra. The cobra could spit its venom and blind the rattlesnake, but the rattlesnake could in turn use its heat-sensing pits to locate and defeat the cobra, despite being blinded. The Retic vs Anaconda fight, if it happened, would be really hard to call, but I think I'd give the advantage to the Anaconda, since it's the heavier snake and doesn't have much of a length disadvantage. It might also be able to survive longer without oxygen, considering how much time it spends submerged in water, and so it might be able to win that way.
Yeah, that's an actually impressive lineup. Note that Komodo dragons don't hunt the way most people think they do (they rely almost entirely on physical damage, the venom is at best an aid to making the effects of that physical damage worse), and are far faster and more effective at killing prey than often assumed (they do NOT bite prey and then track it as it dies, but outright bring down and dismember stuff on the spot), so its chances are actually much better than you mentioned. Frankly, I'd assume it would win against everything except the saltie and the alligator - given that it's an active hunter it's more likely to be the one making the first move against either giant constrictor rather than vice versa and neither the retic nor the anaconda would be in any shape to fight from the moment the dragon bites them with its theropod-esque ziphodont teeth. I'd also have swapped out the eastern diamondback for the gaboon viper (heaviest viper, longest fangs, even better camouflage, possibly the fastest strike of any snake), and swapped either the snapper or the inland taipan for the narrowheaded softshell turtle as that thing is probably even more formidable than a common snapper (MUCH larger, even faster strike with greater reach, pretty nasty bite).
One major issue with any “who would win” things is a lot of it is complicated or doesn’t have one right answer and can go differently based on a number of factors. Like, who would win between a wolf pack and a moose? That’s a scenario that actually happens in nature plenty and has all sorts of results!
Was just thinking about the Steve Irwin documentary about the deadliest snakes in Australia, such a great documentary. When he was climbing under that house and lifted up the rubbish and that taipan was just looking at him like "Oh! Hey, how's it goin, mate?" 😆
You have no idea how your channel has changed my life. Since you've started this series of books, I have had an INTENSE fear of my pet chuckwalla. I have also begun to check my house for loose, overhanging rocks; lest I incur the wrath of Sir Charles Wallaby the 3rd. I have also been noticeably more antagonistic of green mambas in the wild. I made a few vulgar Yo Mama jokes at the expense of a green mamba recently, and was giving him obligatory boops between jokes. I felt confident in my ability to defeat a green mamba since a chuckwalla was capable of the same feat, and I know (or at least I once thought) I was capable of turning the tide on a chuckwalla. How wrong I was. I have now lost 60% of my booping finger, and have locked myself in my room for fear of reprisal from Sir Charles Wallaby the 3rd should he deem any of my previous affections worthy of punishment or should he just have the meer sense to. Please. Please stop reading these books. Or at least create your own new version of an Ultimate Rumble book. I beg of you, set the world right and tell people and mambas, alike, how to defeat the mighty chuckwalla.
Clint, I know it might be a tall order with how busy you are between family, your reptile room, and filming for RUclips, but I think it would be an amazing idea for you to write your own “Reptile Rumble”. I’d buy it and love it, my toddlers would love it as long as it wasn’t too graphic, and I’m sure many other fans would feel the same way! Much love from the Marshalls
Hi, Clint I just wanted to let you know that I just finished watching every one of your videos(except some of the live streams but I'm on that too). I started watching them on the 11th of January this year so you can say I do enjoy them quite a bit. :) Keep up the great work you are doing educating people!
@@ClintsReptiles I watch almost all videos on 2x speed and that helps :P The only problem with that is when I watch on 1x everyone seem to speak so slow :D
These books are insane I remember when a Brown Bear and Polar bear fought the polar literally said there is no point in fighting and the brown bear won. But the craziest one was T-Rex vs a velociraptor pack, the velociraptor somehow won! I have no idea how a few raptors would win against a mega apex predator.
Oh, I can explain that. The reason the Velociraptor won because the pack consisted of about 50+ individuals with the mentality of hornets and all swarmed the T. rex at once. Yeah, never mind the fact that an actual Velociraptor pack would probably be about eight at most, more likely a family group than an actual "pack" and certainly not be coordinated in that same manner as very social insects.
That's like saying 100 jackals can beat an African elephant it may annoy it to leave but it's just gonna get nibbled feet and the smaller animal die by the dozen lol
You should definitely react to dinosaur match ups next. I'd also like to hear your commentary on this kind of animal fight mentality that a lot of people seem to have, especially when it comes to dinosaurs.
PLEASE review more of these! I love these books mostly for nostalgic purposes, but even as a 5 year old i knew that some of these had very unlikely outcomes to say the least. I need to you rip into these!
Clint is going to write a very long dissertation-like letter to the author of this particular book I think.... On another note Clint now needs to make a lucky Chuckwalla t-shirt and/or keychain for his channel.
More! I am not a zoologist, but an animal nerd, so my kid didn't believe me when I had very similar predictions. I wholeheartedly think that any animal books that are anywhere near the realm of "non-fiction" need to be fact-checked by a zoologist!
I loved watching Animal Face Off back in the early 2000s. It was very absurd and the CGI was poor quality. But I have to admit that there was something addictive about it despite its own absurdity. This brings me back to those days.
Oh yeah, big guilty pleasure of mine. The pointlessly elaborate robots and all the time and budget spent on their scenes, the awful CGI, the insane choreography of the fights, and the most ridiculous part- getting zoologists to trash talk each other.
Thank you for reminding me of the chuckwalla, I had a model of one as a kid but I didn't really know anything about them. I'm glad it used the power of luck to make it so far.
Haha please do the other books! I work in a library and these books are super popular in the kid section. They always looked pretty absurd to me, an adult, and this video confirms my suspicions🤣 That chuckwalla was a pro though, I gotta give credit where credit is due
The Chuckwalla was that fighting game player that accidentally disrupts the bracket by playing a character so weak that none of the other players know the match up, but then after they make it up the bracket they get destroyed.
I do think a Gharial would have serious difficulty with a large sea turtle. Especially something like a leatherback that also has advantages in metabolism and weight. Still, it's kinda hilarious that it's even an option.
Ah yes, I remember these books, I had every one of them back in second grade. I personally remember questioning how a Deathstalker Scorpion could beat an adult female Goliath Birdeater. 😅
This video is absolute gold!! 😂 Would love to see more reviews (if you can bear to read the other books 🤭)! Your channel is so awesome, thank you for all of the great content!!! It's a joy to watch. 💛
this video made me laugh "the Fer-De-Lance gets struck by lightning and the Gharial has a brain aneurism" is the best thing I think ive heard in a while XD
Absolutely read those other two books!. I had a great time I had a great time and switched my vote to the luckiest chuckwalla in the world. And laughing out loud at Clint's assessments of the battles!
Just saw you in Tyler Nolans video at Chandler's! What'd you think of his property, animals etc? That baby Camel is ridiculously cute & his set up for the Eurasian Eagle Own is super cool. His snake building is really coming along as well, Kevin's enclosure is huge. It's refreshing to see big snakes, reptiles etc being kept in enclosures that are actually big enough for them to thrive in.
This reads like a bad wrestling script. "Garial has Chuckwalla pinned! What is going on!? Tyrannosaurus Rex has invaded the ring to back up his old tag team partner, Chuckwalla!"

Entertaining for them sure, but just like I wouldn't dare let my children watch Keeping up with the Kardashians, because it isn't age appropriate and provides no real insight or value, this book perpetuates ignorance and encourages a lack of critical thinking. Both things that are vitally important in a childs development.
Minus the misinformation, I think these books are a fun idea! I remember I loved a sort of similar book called “101 most dangerous things on the planet” or something which taught me about a lot of cool weird stuff. Like ball lightning! It even gave survival tips for all of them (like how to get off of thin ice)
This sort of stuff is a great way to get kids interested in science.
And at least the misinformation isn’t… that bad? Like, the ocean rumble book had actually incorrect numbers for the sailfish 😂😂😂
@@kezia8027 There’s a lot of correct and interesting facts in this book. Clint says as much with his little “that’s true!” contributions. This book is a fictional scenario of animals kids think are cool having a fighting tournament. Could it be done better? Yes, definitely. Like, why disqualify so many of the coolest reptiles? Why is this the luckiest Chuckwalla in the universe? Why the heck did they have the gharial use its tail (which isn’t even whip-like) as a whip?
Reptile Rumble isn’t even as bad as Ocean Rumble (which had actually incorrect fun facts (sailfish speed), a narwhal using its tusk like a shishkebab, an incorrect picture/name for the sea snake, venom being called “poison” multiple times, a stone fish killing a polar bear, squid arms being called “legs”, and a man o’ war defeating a leatherback sea turtle… which is a gelatinovore. That’s like horse vs grass and somehow the grass wins)
Clint himself said in his review of Ultimate Ocean Rumble that the facts being accurate was the only strength of the Ultimate Reptile Rumble.
And even ocean rumble did have some interesting and true information, like that man o’ wars are actually a bunch of smaller sea creatures not just one.
Something I think is worth noting: the author seems to at least be improving their accuracy as they go. The infamously horrible Ocean Rumble was published in 2015. The comparatively less horrible Reptile Rumble was published in 2021. So, there’s that lol
I agree that this book isn’t great, but it is still educational. It gets kids interested in science, particularly zoology. There are much better educational books for kids (like one of my absolute favourite books as a kid “First Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs and Prehistoric Life”) but a lot of kids won’t be interested in books that are overtly educational (especially if they have encyclopedia in the title lol), so silly “what if?” books can get those kids interested in learning.
Also I can’t believe the outrageous comparisons you’re making lol I’m gonna write a whole other comment on those 😂😂
I was thinking the chuckwalla would need divine intervention to win the fight with the mamba, and it did get it.
This has easily become my favorite video lmao. I love seeing Clint so passionate and trying to contain his rage 😂😂 We love unhinged Clint
Unhinged Clint needs to be a t-shirt.😅
I got so much enjoyment out of watching Clint rage at this book. Somebody please send him more outrageous children's books that he can scream at.
You need to check out the Halloween vids and Clint having a tear at animal skeletons, usually bought at the dollar store.
@@CraftyZanTubYes! Those are great vids also!
Okay, the ULTIMATE reptile rumble should definitely not have included a chuckwalla or an amphisbaenian, or anything that stood a chance against either one. Here are my picks for an actual ultimate reptile rumble. I'm choosing these because they each have unique abilities and are what I would consider to be the most powerful members of their category:
Salt Water Crocodile - the biggest and most powerful crocodilian
Komodo Dragon - the biggest and most powerful lizard, also venomous
Reticulated Python - the longest snake
King Cobra - the largest venomous snake
Inland Taipan - the most venomous snake
American Alligator - not as big and powerful as the Salty, but with much better mobility out of the water
Common Snapping Turtle - It doesn't stand a chance, but this is probably the most dangerous kind of turtle, and they deserve some representation
Spitting Cobra - Not only a venomous snake, but one with a ranged attack
Green Anaconda - the heaviest snake
Black Mamba - Fastest snake, still large and highly venomous
Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake - The longest viper, with excellent camouflage and very long fangs.
Crocodile Monitor - Another big monitor to make an even 12
I know that this list is weighted toward snakes, particularly venomous ones, but snakes seem to have the most unique gimmicks to them, and venom is a great equalizer in these kinds of fights. Snakes also hunt lizards a lot more than lizards hunt snakes, which kinda already knocks most lizards off the list. The poor snapping turtle is way out of its league, but it's the only turtle with any serious offensive capabilities, and it might even defeat one or two of the smaller snakes if it gets lucky.
The Salt Water Croc definitely has the power to beat anything on this list if it gets in a bite, but it is not a sure winner by any means. Constrictors can and do take out crocodilians, and I think both the Retic and the Anaconda could take out even a Salty if they got a wrap on it. Of the venomous snakes, I think the King Cobra would be the most likely to emerge victorious. It does, after all, make its living by eating other snakes, and it has quite potent venom. The Rattlesnake could probably pierce the tough crocodilian hide with its long fangs, and could use its camouflage to surprise other opponents. The Spitting Cobra would be a bit of a wildcard, given its ranged attack, but I think the crocodilians, with their widely-spaced eyes and nictitating membranes would be able to beat it without much trouble.
The Komodo Dragon would be a very strong contender, and could probably defeat most of the other animals in the lineup under the right conditions. The Anaconda, Retic, and Salty would be the biggest challenges for the Dragon, though, and I honestly don't see the Dragon beating the Salty. I would give the advantage in a battle between the American Alligator and the Komodo Dragon to the Dragon, though, since the Dragon has at least as good mobility and has the advantage of venom.
One fight that I think would be interesting for showing off the relative abilities and the differences between the venomous snakes would be the Rattlesnake vs. the Spitting Cobra. The cobra could spit its venom and blind the rattlesnake, but the rattlesnake could in turn use its heat-sensing pits to locate and defeat the cobra, despite being blinded.
The Retic vs Anaconda fight, if it happened, would be really hard to call, but I think I'd give the advantage to the Anaconda, since it's the heavier snake and doesn't have much of a length disadvantage. It might also be able to survive longer without oxygen, considering how much time it spends submerged in water, and so it might be able to win that way.
I very much prefer this lineup of reptiles than the ones we got in the actual book
Yeah, that's an actually impressive lineup.
Note that Komodo dragons don't hunt the way most people think they do (they rely almost entirely on physical damage, the venom is at best an aid to making the effects of that physical damage worse), and are far faster and more effective at killing prey than often assumed (they do NOT bite prey and then track it as it dies, but outright bring down and dismember stuff on the spot), so its chances are actually much better than you mentioned. Frankly, I'd assume it would win against everything except the saltie and the alligator - given that it's an active hunter it's more likely to be the one making the first move against either giant constrictor rather than vice versa and neither the retic nor the anaconda would be in any shape to fight from the moment the dragon bites them with its theropod-esque ziphodont teeth.
I'd also have swapped out the eastern diamondback for the gaboon viper (heaviest viper, longest fangs, even better camouflage, possibly the fastest strike of any snake), and swapped either the snapper or the inland taipan for the narrowheaded softshell turtle as that thing is probably even more formidable than a common snapper (MUCH larger, even faster strike with greater reach, pretty nasty bite).
The seriousness and indignation with which you address this book is one of the reasons we love you, Clint. Never change.
Omg the reactions to the book was hilarious!!!! Please please review the other books!!!!
I hope this becomes a series because this is what we need. Clint reacting to childrens books ahaahha 😂
One major issue with any “who would win” things is a lot of it is complicated or doesn’t have one right answer and can go differently based on a number of factors. Like, who would win between a wolf pack and a moose? That’s a scenario that actually happens in nature plenty and has all sorts of results!
Between a wolf pack and a moose? The chuckwalla, obviously.
Obviously all the wolves have heart attacks as they get ready to ambush the moose, and the moose unknowing is safe and wins by default obviously
Incidentally, there are a surprising number of cases of even single wolves killing moose.
This was hilarious. When I heard the result of the green mamba / chuckwalla fight I realized whoever wrote this book has a sense of humor.
Was just thinking about the Steve Irwin documentary about the deadliest snakes in Australia, such a great documentary. When he was climbing under that house and lifted up the rubbish and that taipan was just looking at him like "Oh! Hey, how's it goin, mate?" 😆
"sneaky chuckwalla with those legs" was my favorite line
"Gharial. Brain aneurysm. Dead."
- A rage-induced fever dream, orated by Clint Laidlaw
You have no idea how your channel has changed my life. Since you've started this series of books, I have had an INTENSE fear of my pet chuckwalla. I have also begun to check my house for loose, overhanging rocks; lest I incur the wrath of Sir Charles Wallaby the 3rd. I have also been noticeably more antagonistic of green mambas in the wild. I made a few vulgar Yo Mama jokes at the expense of a green mamba recently, and was giving him obligatory boops between jokes. I felt confident in my ability to defeat a green mamba since a chuckwalla was capable of the same feat, and I know (or at least I once thought) I was capable of turning the tide on a chuckwalla. How wrong I was. I have now lost 60% of my booping finger, and have locked myself in my room for fear of reprisal from Sir Charles Wallaby the 3rd should he deem any of my previous affections worthy of punishment or should he just have the meer sense to. Please. Please stop reading these books. Or at least create your own new version of an Ultimate Rumble book. I beg of you, set the world right and tell people and mambas, alike, how to defeat the mighty chuckwalla.
Chuckwalla dislodging the rock was hilarious. Great commentary 😂 Do the other books.
That Chuckwalla had main character syndrome
As an Aussie the blue-tongue lizard/inland taipan fight made me laugh so much.
This video took me back to second grade when I would reread these on repeat.
Please do more of these!
Clint, I know it might be a tall order with how busy you are between family, your reptile room, and filming for RUclips, but I think it would be an amazing idea for you to write your own “Reptile Rumble”. I’d buy it and love it, my toddlers would love it as long as it wasn’t too graphic, and I’m sure many other fans would feel the same way!
Much love from the Marshalls
Hi, Clint I just wanted to let you know that I just finished watching every one of your videos(except some of the live streams but I'm on that too). I started watching them on the 11th of January this year so you can say I do enjoy them quite a bit. :) Keep up the great work you are doing educating people!
Holy cow! That is a lot of watching!
@@ClintsReptiles I watch almost all videos on 2x speed and that helps :P The only problem with that is when I watch on 1x everyone seem to speak so slow :D
I'm trying to do the same thing right now. 2x the speed is genius! Too bad my phone doesn't have that capability
These books are insane I remember when a Brown Bear and Polar bear fought the polar literally said there is no point in fighting and the brown bear won. But the craziest one was T-Rex vs a velociraptor pack, the velociraptor somehow won! I have no idea how a few raptors would win against a mega apex predator.
Oh, I can explain that. The reason the Velociraptor won because the pack consisted of about 50+ individuals with the mentality of hornets and all swarmed the T. rex at once.
Yeah, never mind the fact that an actual Velociraptor pack would probably be about eight at most, more likely a family group than an actual "pack" and certainly not be coordinated in that same manner as very social insects.
Oh man he needs to look at the others
That's like saying 100 jackals can beat an African elephant it may annoy it to leave but it's just gonna get nibbled feet and the smaller animal die by the dozen lol
"I have no enemies"
-polar bear
as an elementary school teacher with an entire library full of these books, this might be my favorite video you've made lmao
You just unlocked a hidden memory for me. I remember reading those books in elementary school. That’s so cool that you have the books.
"sneaky chuckwalla with those legs..."
You should definitely react to dinosaur match ups next. I'd also like to hear your commentary on this kind of animal fight mentality that a lot of people seem to have, especially when it comes to dinosaurs.
Oh god those were even more random
PLEASE review more of these! I love these books mostly for nostalgic purposes, but even as a 5 year old i knew that some of these had very unlikely outcomes to say the least. I need to you rip into these!
Clint is going to write a very long dissertation-like letter to the author of this particular book I think....
On another note Clint now needs to make a lucky Chuckwalla t-shirt and/or keychain for his channel.
This was perfect. Genuinely hilarious
Yes please review them. I have never laughed so hard watching one of your videos before!
I'm definitely waiting for parts 2, 3, and possibly more. This was hilarious and so entertaining 🤣 next episode Please, Clint 🐍
More! I am not a zoologist, but an animal nerd, so my kid didn't believe me when I had very similar predictions. I wholeheartedly think that any animal books that are anywhere near the realm of "non-fiction" need to be fact-checked by a zoologist!
I loved watching Animal Face Off back in the early 2000s. It was very absurd and the CGI was poor quality. But I have to admit that there was something addictive about it despite its own absurdity. This brings me back to those days.
Oh yeah, big guilty pleasure of mine. The pointlessly elaborate robots and all the time and budget spent on their scenes, the awful CGI, the insane choreography of the fights, and the most ridiculous part- getting zoologists to trash talk each other.
Blast from the past
This is the most calm, passive-aggressive anger I've seen from clint
Thank you for reminding me of the chuckwalla, I had a model of one as a kid but I didn't really know anything about them. I'm glad it used the power of luck to make it so far.
This has quickly become one of my favorite videos from Clint, his sarcasm and reactions got me laughing 🤣
Haha please do the other books! I work in a library and these books are super popular in the kid section. They always looked pretty absurd to me, an adult, and this video confirms my suspicions🤣 That chuckwalla was a pro though, I gotta give credit where credit is due
Lol. Maybe my favorite Clint video ever! This was awesome!
Definitely need to make this a series
The Chuckwalla was that fighting game player that accidentally disrupts the bracket by playing a character so weak that none of the other players know the match up, but then after they make it up the bracket they get destroyed.
I do think a Gharial would have serious difficulty with a large sea turtle. Especially something like a leatherback that also has advantages in metabolism and weight. Still, it's kinda hilarious that it's even an option.
I never knew I needed this.....now I want more. Critiquing amateur media on things you're an expert on.
I would love a comic book about the Chuckwalla that has super luck.
Ah yes, I remember these books, I had every one of them back in second grade. I personally remember questioning how a Deathstalker Scorpion could beat an adult female Goliath Birdeater. 😅
Fierce snake getting hit by lightning and the gharial having a brain aneurysm almost gave me a spit take. Well done.
"I AM NOT MAD" Clint is hilarious. As is this book.
I felt so bad for the blue tongue and the chuckwalla like why were they entered into the heavyweight championships
Seriously who the hell thought the blue-tongue should go up against a goddamn inland taipan? Like, how the hell is that remotely fair?
When the chuckwalla wins against the mamba, that wasn’t a battle to the death. That was a workplace accident.
Oh you poor, sweet man! You showed great patience, courage and fortitude against formidable odds.
Great video!
I love how irritated clint was seeming to get with some of these matchups lol
This video is absolute gold!! 😂 Would love to see more reviews (if you can bear to read the other books 🤭)! Your channel is so awesome, thank you for all of the great content!!! It's a joy to watch. 💛
This was so entertaining 😂 please read the other ones as well
More book readings please, this was hilarious 🤣
Your "I got betta" was the cherry on top.
Oh mylanta, yes! Please read the other two, as well. This was a hoot!
Thanks Clint ! I’m really liking these “review “ videos and hope they continue!
Yes please review more books I love your reactions lol this is definitely one of my favorite videos of yours 🙂
Your frustration had me cracking up. This was so entertaining lol
yes, please do more. this was hilarious
I would adore seeing you review the other 2 the slow descent into madness was amazing
Sea turtle vs leatherback would be nature's submarine battle. Seems like a missed opportunity to cover it.
this video made me laugh
"the Fer-De-Lance gets struck by lightning and the Gharial has a brain aneurism" is the best thing I think ive heard in a while XD
Absolutely please review the dinosaur rumble! Really fun video :D
At this moment I cannot imagine wanting anything more then you reviewing the rest of books.
I loved every part of this video and find the book so funny 😂 😂😂
OMG - this was the most fun video you've ever done! Your comments and expressions are too funny!!!
and absolutely review the other two books, please!!! 😂😂🤣
I love this! Please go through the others :)
My son LOVED this video and was laughing all night. He would love for you to review a few more of the books… because he’s into that kinda stuff.
Absolutely read those other two books!. I had a great time I had a great time and switched my vote to the luckiest chuckwalla in the world. And laughing out loud at Clint's assessments of the battles!
This is hilarious “struck by lightning” 😂😂😂😂
I remember also getting really upset with one of these books as a mini-zoologist, though I can't remember which one. This was hilarious 😂
This 23 min were the shortest of my life, i really need more of this
Just saw you in Tyler Nolans video at Chandler's! What'd you think of his property, animals etc? That baby Camel is ridiculously cute & his set up for the Eurasian Eagle Own is super cool. His snake building is really coming along as well, Kevin's enclosure is huge. It's refreshing to see big snakes, reptiles etc being kept in enclosures that are actually big enough for them to thrive in.
This reads like a bad wrestling script. "Garial has Chuckwalla pinned! What is going on!? Tyrannosaurus Rex has invaded the ring to back up his old tag team partner, Chuckwalla!"
Clint, you crack me up.
Also, more dinosaur videos, please! 🦎
