After this vid, come say Hello, I’m live on twitch! www.twitch.tv/adamcouser
You seriously didn’t know chipmunks were rodents? You never seen a squirrel before? 😅
Spiders aren't animals, they're arachnids.
Spider story time! 🫣
So one time.. an I never wear shorts, especially in the high desert, had my pants rolled up. Eating lunch behind the shop sittin ona stump.. dang ole man I tell you what.. that spider was big as my hand and running right for us! We jumped back an the flipping thing went For My LEG! good lord! I'm so glad I didn't freeze.. missed by inches and shot under the other pile of spare welding junk .. No shorts no way.. lol
Do you live under a rock? Yes the grand canyon is near Las Vegas....geez I thought Americans were bad at geography.
@@Sugarsail1 Do you know how for it is between certain cities in the UK? I doubt it.
So something they never mention is that Gators can climb fences and trees. They aren't very good at it but it's good to keep in mind that up is a direction they can go.
And yes. Gators can sprint up to 35 mph.
Just saw a video of a 'gator getting its head and front arms onto the side of a boat, and one of the fishermen tapped it on the nose and said, "Get outta here! Go on!" so the 'gator left, lol.
@@just_kos99 American alligators are kinda like the German shepherds of crocodilia. They're huge and have lots of raw power- but most of them don't seem to actually realize how big or powerful they are. It's not unusual for even house cats who stand their ground to scare them away.
I mean, don't go out there looking to mess with 'em. Keep your pets and kids the hell away. But know they're considerably docile regarding humans and easy to scare off. Nothing like their crocodile cousins.
@@Chupicron1:57 1:58
Yes, Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon are close. It's about a two hour drive. Hope you get to see it.
Make reservations for the Phantom Ranch. Stay two nights. One is not enough.
You should totally do this.
Google maps says it’s a 4.5 hour drive
@@reconsoldier135 might depend on which section you are going to, there are multiple options and the canyon is huge.
Grand Canyon West is at most 100 miles. And, so can get a day bus tour to either the main park or to GCWest for maybe $100. It's one of the more surreal things on Earth; definitely worth going outta your way to do, if you're at all interested.
In Colorado as kids we learned that when encountering a Mountain Lion - you make yourself look big, stare into it's eyes and yell and be aggressive. WOn't hurt if you also have a stick to swing at it. You DO NOT turn and run from it - then you are prey. People have attacked mountain lions that have grabbed their dogs and beaten them off to save their dogs. To say the mountain lions are shocked is an understatment.
Exactly! There's a reason the attacks that are reported are usually people running. 🤷♀️
Cats in general rely on surprise ambush attacks. They will almost never attack you from the front. Also, predators like easy meals that don't fight back. They will avoid most situations where they could sustain injuries. They can't just go to a doctor and get fixed up like we can. For them it could mean death.
@@humansymphony - Most predators want food that doesn't fight back. The more fighting, the more the predator maybe injured or killed. It's why most predators will look for weak or injured prey.
Correct, the worst thing you can do is run. Think of how a domestic cat gets all excited and pounces once you make that sudden movement. You don't want to do that with this big kitty.
Saw a video of a housecat scaring the shat out of a bear intruding into the cat's yard. That bear turned tail and RAN from this whacked out cat charging at it!
Alligators are surprisingly fast on land. They can sprint up to 35 mph. So, it's wise to give them plenty of room. If you don't get too close, they won't bother you. I am in South Carolina and several live in a pond behind my house, and have never had problems with them.
Truth. They're fast
And can jump high
And climb, break into houses. Oon of the reasons I stay in the upper Midwest. 😂😂😂
@@Ripley1994 we eat them where I live lol
@@ChristaFree oh, I've had gator!! It's delicious!!!!
2:30
humming birds can seriously injure you. my brother was attacked by one when we were going up. YES. he was antagonizing it. and it STABBED him in the arm... I laughed the whole way to the hospital...
Dude, you don't necessarily have to harass one! Not that it's a good idea of course, but I got chased by one once. I've seen them fight each other and chase bigger animals too. Considering they have that pointy beak and move so fast, you would be screwed if they had it in for you☹️
Wow, he must have really pissed it off. I have had hummingbirds buzz my head alot over the years, even stop in front of my face to stare at me, but I have NEVER been attacked by one. LOL I used to sit out on my porch with the feeder and have them buzz all around me, and even had them zip all around me while they were fighting each other. He must have REALLY been annoying it a lot to get attacked. Never heard anyone ever say that, are you pulling people's leg. LOL The things are tiny.
My brother was chasing a groundhog for the heck of it and got in cornered in a fence row. You know what they say about cornered animals. It turned and chased him right back and he fell and broke his arm.
A good time was had by all.
@@sues3218 IDK, I finally noticed a hummingbird nest in one of my bushes. That can definitely be a trigger for an attack. I guess it just depends on the kind of environment your yard is. I never knew them to be so aggressive either, but once I moved to a place where they had more brush to make themselves at home, all bets are off! Any mama becomes a mother bear around their kids😂
@@gohawks3571 If you found a hummingbird nest in your bush, I suggest shaving.
So Punxsutawney Phil is from Pennsylvania (he’s actually like the tenth edition or so). He’s a groundhog and every year on February second, the town throws a huge party and they bring him out. Then he predicts the weather.
If he sees his shadow, there’ll be six more weeks of winter. If he doesn’t, there’ll be an early spring! It’s been a tradition since like colonial days, and it’s obviously a bigger holiday if you live in the Northeast. Other states have their own groundhogs, but Phil is the famous one.
It's based in British weather lore about Candlemas.
"If Candlemas Day be fair and bright. Winter will take another flight;
If Candlemas Day be foul and rain, Winter is gone and won't come again."
The Puritans didn't like that sort of weather lore attached to religious holidays, though, nor were they all that keen on Candlemas at all (they considered it "Papist"), so they transferred all the weather lore to the native groundhogs and renamed Candlemas "Groundhog Day."
Phil was afraid to say he saw his shadow. ....groundhog stew if he did. For those of you that take offense...it's a running joke here in SW PA
albertville alabama has their own season predicting critter, an opossum named sand mountain sam
I've always found Punxsutawney Phil to be too high-falutin, I prefer Staten island Chuck, who is definitely blue collar 😆
I think this Brit sees his shadow he pees hisself.
Adam! While I was hiking yesterday I got a photo of a wetland giant wolf spider. Which was awesome but then she turned to me and said, "Tell Adam I'm coming for him." 😨
I used to have a "pet" wolf spider. She kept me company while I washed the dishes. Outside the window, of course 😂 She was always fighting with her food, sometimes it got away, sometimes she ate. I miss that spider (I moved)!
The Grand Canyon is about 2 hrs from Vegas. There are even tour companies in Vegas that bus people to the Canyon. Its definitely worth the ride.
I was a trucker for 28 years in the US, parts of Canada and Mexico... Wild animals are the largest cause of issues next to humans out on the road. (In my opinion anyway, lol)
I saw where a Snake and a Boar had been fighting on the road in San Antonio on the SW side once a Rig had sustained engine damage and lost several tires because the snake got tangled and the boar was the size of a smart car. I actually thought it was a bear but couldn’t check, I called family about it cause I was late to work, they confirmed it was a boar. The snake however they didn’t see. So it may still be out here somewhere.
Valid option. I hate when they're running around at dawn and dusk. I walk in the early morning, so I have a flashlight. If I see coyotes running around, if they're going towards the street, I try to hold my light on them so people notice. Javalinas I gotta book it for, though😬😁
@@WingManFang1That's crazy and scary!
We need more wildlife crossings like they have in the midwest. They actually work to reduce roadkill and allow animals to travel to find mates, preventing extinction from lack of genetic diversity
Most North American rodents are cute. The wild ones can carry bubonic plague. Squirrels are supposed to be tasty and a real pest in heavily forested areas. Rabbits and hares can carry tularemia. A woodchuck is a fairly big rodent and a menace to trees since they like to girdle them.
Armadillos carry leprosy. Opossums are as dumb as rocks.
Male grouse have air filled sacs on their chest that they inflate to attract a mate.
Snakes eat a lot of pests like shrews, mice and rats.
The Kentucky gray fox is the only foxes that can climb trees.
Salamanders are amphibians like frogs.
North American bats eat insects. They usually live in caves or hollowed out trees. At night thousands of them swarm out in a big cloud. On moonlit nights it is a stunning sight. Most large bats are fruit eaters.
Alligators and crocodiles when they want to can run pretty fast. They also use their muscular tails and swimming skills to hunt.
“Opossums are as dumb as rocks.” That’s an insult….. to rocks. 🤪
Lot of people eat armadillos, a good white meat
Mycobacterium leprae is the primary causative agent of Hansen's disease or leprosy. Besides human beings, natural infection has been described in animals such as mangabey monkeys and armadillos. Leprosy is considered a global health problem and its complete pathogenesis is still unknown.
The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that each year, there are 200,000 new cases in 120 countries. There have also been reports of people getting leprosy after coming in direct contact with nine-banded armadillos, which can carry the bacteria that causes leprosy.
The nine-banded armadillo is found in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and southeast Kansas southeastward to Georgia and most of Florida. In the U.S., the nine-bandd armadillo's range has been expanding to the north, east, and west. It is also found in Mexico, Central America, and South America.

I don't recommend handling or eating armadillos.
the armadillo one is kinda a myth, you would basically have to eat their raw livers to get leprosy, which dogs end up doing.
Ah yes chipmunks, the most terrifying of all the animals. :P
Still have nightmares of the chipmunk uprising of '92. Dark times my friend, dark times.
@@confuzedpenguin9974 They just had a helluva time getting their troops to scamper single file and that's why they lost.
I had a friend in Colorado who had one in the walls of his house. One day he was sitting on the toilet and one ran between his legs. LOL He found where they were coming in and sucked them out with the shop vaccumn, then let them go and plugged the whole on the outside.
When I visited the Grand Canyon, we were having lunch on an outdoor patio. A chipmunk decided to climb up on my foot and take a nap! Have you ever experienced feline paralysis (where you can't move because a cat is sleeping on you)? Chipmunk paralysis is similar, lol!
Ever been in the woods alone and had a chipmunk run across dry leave? It sounds like a bigfoot!
Fun fact: panthers/cougars/mountain lions are both the largest species of the family felidae, the same family that house cats belong to, and the largest species of feline still able to meow and purr. They are, taxonomically, giant house cats. Although, in my experience, tigers behave the most like giant house cats.
You do realise that a house cat is always making plans on how to kill you. They tolerate us because they don't have thumbs and can't operate a can opener. Still, you are their backup food supply.
Prairie dogs are actually one of the smartest animals on the planet, and they have their own complex language, almost as complex as human language.
3:03
at my childhood home (my dad still lives there) out in the country, we had Diamondback Rattlers and Water Moccasins... we had to kill several each week during the late spring, all summer, and early fall.... I can't even count the number of times I was almost bit... luckily I never was...
we also had plenty if chicken snakes, garter snakes, king snakes, and even a few hognose snakes
1:06 When I lived in the Rocky Mountains, Larimer County, Colorado, we had a family of chipmunks that lived under our front porch. They sure were entertaining. Lots of nervous energy but cute as all get-out. Now that we live in the low desert of Arizona, we have learned to love the Tarantula species of spiders. While ugly and frightening at first glance, they kill and eat scorpions which can really harm people. We live in the middle of Phoenix and we have Wild Pigs called Javelinas which are the ugliest mammal there is as well as coyotes in our yards all the time since we live near a dry riverbed.
When my son was in the Navy one of his shipmates had never heard of chipmunks, evidently they're not a thing in the deep south. They actually called me to explain them bc my idiot firstborn told him "think feral hamsters..." and the poor guy thought Pennsylvania had a feral hamster problem.
Javalina encounters were my favorite part of living in Arizona. The scorpions were my least favorite. There are scorpions everywhere I've ever lived, but they were way more common in Tucson.
@@jlgavittwe have chipmunks in the deep south
@@elenahickman4329 then his shipmates was an idiot, bc he didn't know what they were. And it took :You know the critters that sing the Christmas song about wanting a hula hoop?" to get the image of huge feral hamsters out of his head.
Gators have a surprisingly fast charge, but expend all their energy quickly and will go limp after putting up a little bit of a fight.
Just clamp the jaws shut and keep them that way and you only have to worry about the claws... and the tail... and the fact that they weigh up to five times an average human man's body weight...
yeah, I'm saying don't fight a gator.
Yeah, they can hit 35mph in those short bursts, which is way faster than I can run!
Unless you're allergic, a garter snake bite is like a large mosquito bite.
A correction on the "Florida Panther": that is one of it's names, but they roam all across the US. For example, I'm 100 miles south of the Canadian border. They don't hang out here, but they come through during their migrations.
Talking about Cougars, or Mountain Lions, in general, yes, of which the Florida Panther is a slightly smaller version, but same species (I’m pretty sure).
This is what I was thinking, we live in Kentucky near the Appalachian mountains but not in them… near several populated cities. We’ve lived here 6 months and have had 5 + sightings. Of the lions/ cougars. The neighbors tell us there’s black ones here too… what’s crazy is according to the government, there aren’t any here…. But we have them on camera so…
we saw them in Michigan too and not even that far north. Near I 94. The authorities up there also told us there weren’t mountain lions in that area…. I’m not sure why all the denial
@@jrs3359 It could be misidentification of course. People get scared or want to tell a tale or just don’t know. They could be Coyotes or, more likely Bobcats, which can definitely look like a small Cougar.
There are a couple confirmed sightings.
“When somebody asked us about cougars, we didn’t say, ‘They’re not here,’” Markum says. “We said, ‘There’s never been good evidence that cougars are here.’ And then they misconstrue that to say, ‘The agency said there are no cougars here.”
DNA testing later revealed that the Bourbon cougar traced its genetic origin to the Black Hills of South Dakota.
Recent sightings have been confirmed in Obion, Humphreys and Carroll counties in western Tennessee. DNA tests from a fur sample show that the Carroll County cougar is a female, also with genetic origins traced to the Black Hills in South Dakota and Wyoming. Biologists believe it is possible that all three sightings are the same cat migrating further east.”

We had one in our yard for awhile
Yes, the Grand Canyon is near Las Vegas, and you should definitely go! The main cities that are access points to the canyon are Las Vegas and Flagstaff/Williams, Arizona.
I know the GC is the big attraction, fun to walk the rim trails (S. Kaibab Trail), more than a few videos on here of that.. certainly a good way to bypass the overcrowded spots if one tackles that.
But there are six or so state parks nearby LV too. . great hiking trails, some easy free climbing. . . certainly, more expansive views if you've got some skill and/or climbing equipment. Get quite a few stunning photos, film out there as well.
ruclips.net/p/PLEAOr3u_w0AI8XpzmtKU9cfgst4TaqMZ1
(Flagstaff is great in the winter, too.)
I wrote a book called MESA that comes out in June on Amazon, and YES the Grand Canyon is 100 miles from Las Vegas, I say so in my book too! TONS of snakes there, please be careful.
And watch out for scorpions and tarantulas, too!
Florida panthers are the local variety of puma.
Gators are fast for very short distances and they can jump really high. There is a park called Gatorland in Orlando and they do shows of them jumping up to grab a chicken like 10 feet high! It’s a fun place to go 😂 great reaction ✌🏻🫶🏻
Snakes :If their eyes are shaped like a human , they are non toxic, aka. harmless to humans ( even though they may still bite you). If however they have Cat eyes, they are highly poisonous and can make your experience unpleasant or un alive.
Vipers also have a diamond-shaped head where constrictors' are more curved. "If it looks like a shovel already whacked it, you know you want to get away!"
5:32 no, but I do however celebrate Weasel Stomping Day on the fifth Saturday in January (when it happens) “Put your Viking helmet on, spread that mayonnaise on the lawn, don’t you know it’s Weasel, Stomping Day?! People up and down the street, crushing weasels beneath their feet! (It’s a weird Al Yankovic song 😂)
That song is a panic, but still not as good as "Fat"
We lived in Southern Georgia on a military base. The playground had a sign that read, "Beware: alligators may be present."
Well as an American I pronounce Patriot as pay-tree-ot. So I would pronounce Patreon as pay-tree-on.
Glad that the word 'patreon' doesn't depend how an "American" pronounces "patriot". 😂
@@AlbertaBoundd It comes from the word patron, aka a financial supporter.
@@marcobering3945 thanks for telling me what I already know. My comment was obviously directed to the "American pay-tree-ot" whose pronunciation depends on him being from the USA 🤣
@@AlbertaBoundd Well, no, patron is pronounced pay-tron.
5:34 Punxsutawney Phil is a long line of groundhogs that this town, Punxsutawney, has used to ‘predict’ whether or not there will be an early spring. Supposedly, if he doesn’t see his shadow, winter will end early. In reality, he’s only ever correct about 35-41% of the time.
Garter snakes are harmless to anything with skin. (Their "fangs" are ridiculously underpowered and can't break through the outer layer of skin.) They're dangerous to insects, though.
Yes, the Grand Canyon is fairly close (by American standards of distance) to Las Vegas. The western end of the canyon, in particular, is pretty close to the Arizona/Nevada state line. The main park entrance that most people go to (approaching from Phoenix), is somewhat farther away, but still within one-day driving distance.
On land, alligators and crocodiles are capable of only very short bursts of speed, more like a lunge than a sprint. They don't have the stamina for chasing down prey on land for any significant distance. Also, their signature attack move, the death roll, only works if they can drag their prey into the water.
So, I take it that you are not planning to watch a video on the top 25 most dangerous spiders in the world?
Prairie dogs have been known to carry bubonic plague so that's fun.
What foreigners don't understand the USA.... Each state is basically it's own government and can also have different terrain with different animal life.
So I'm from Pennsylvania (north eastern U.S.), but I lived in florida in my late 20s. The first thing I did was jump in a pond in the middle of the apartment complex and people I didn't even know came out screaming for me to get out. I learned very quickly that gators are common and Florida doesn't remove them from civilian habitats until the gator is over 6 feet long. Yep, I was dumb to the fact. And to answer your question- they're INCREDIBLY fast on land. I only ran into them twice and they were smaller than 6 feet. The trick is, you run in circles around them and keep making the circles bigger until you can run off. Nice vid ❤
Gators are fast on land and water, some gators have a Jumping run on land and can propel themselves quickly much quicker than most Olympic runners.
As a Canadian, I always get a kick out of these "animals only found in America" videos.
I know, right?😂😅 It's pretty standard tho for people from the USA to forget they're not the only "Americans". Canada, Mexico, and the countries in South America are all American countries as well.
@AlbertaBoundd We don't forget! It's just something that people have heard all of their lives at this point. Our parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, great-great grandparents, have heard it all their lives. Now, WHY they chose "Americans" rather than "U.S. Citizens," I don't know.
@@AlbertaBounddWe don't forget, but we've just heard "Americans" from everyone, including people from other countries, for several generations now. It actually got started when the British living in Britain would refer to Brits in the New World as 'British American' or 'American British' or simply 'American.' As more and more came over and we won our independence from Britain, 'American' stuck. We don't forget we share the continent or the hemisphere, but what else could we use? 'Statesian,' 'U.S'er'? Those don't really work. Plus, Canada's citizens are Canadians, Mexico's are Mexicans, Brazil's people are Brazilians, Venezuela's are Venezuelans, etc.
Canada is in north America
@@garycamara9955
If you look closely, you'll see it doesn't say "animals only found in North America." And by your logic, the video should have included animals from the Amazonian rain forest because Brazil is in South America.
About an hour north of Vegas, on Highway 15, is a State Park called the Valley of Fire, because of the red sandstone formations. It's not the Grand Canion. But it's still a beautiful area.
I grew up in the Sierra Nevadas. Every year, the elementary school I went to as a kid used to get flyers sent home with us to notify parents that it was "cougar season" again. 🤣
We have deadly spiders but we do share them with Canada and Mexico. Look out for black widows and brown recluses. I do not have them in my area but we do see tarantulas which are big and hairy with teeth and I don't care if they are venomous or not as they are just scary looking.
My daughter had 2 Garter snakes. We live in PA. They don't grow as long as the ones in CA. Here in PA they're friendly.
I had a garder snakes as a teen. I was mowing the grass and hit it. A neighbor was a veterinarian so I picked it up and took it to his house. He looked it over, told me it was female then stitched her up. She had 7 stitches. I kept her until the stitches were removed then took her to the river about 300 yards from my house and released her ( after I had given her a good feeding of small crickets.) 😊 I named her Serpentina.😊
I drove tractor-trailer for 25 years. I've never seen the Grand Canyon, but I've driven IN it. From St. George, Utah to Flagstaff, Arizona
Someone in my city recently caught a cougar on a home security camera. (near an elementary school.) It was a cougar, NOT a bobcat.
We have garter snakes where I live. They eat bugs. They're considered good addition to your garden.
Condors eat carrion (re: dead animals) so they don't have feathers on their heads to limit exposure to harmful bacteria.
10:31 A piece of bacon 😂
My family took a trip to the Grand Canyon when I was 5 (we live in Arizona). There's a pretty cool train you can take as part of the tour, and every ditch we passed by, my older siblings (10 and 12) would say, "Look! The Grand Canyon!" It got old quickly. When we finally got to our destination, I very loudly and sassily exclaimed, "Oh, wow, what's this- the Grand Canyon?" as if I were completely unimpressed and unaffected.
As far as the battle of the siblings was concerned, I felt like came out on top. My brother and sister were embarrassed, but other tourists laughed and thought it was adorable. Lesson learned: don't taunt your sarcastic baby sister for 2 hours on the train.
(But really, it's a sight entirely worth seeing, and as it's been over 25 years, I'd like to see it again myself!)
I'm an Oklahoma native, and I remember when me and my sister were little and were staying at our grandparents' house way out in the country. We would go out and catch grasshoppers to feed their chickens, and one day while we were looking around near their old shed, we both turned around there was a giant cottonmouth snake that had slithered out and had us both cornered against the fence and the shed. We had to scream for our grandparents and my Papa, a very religious man who really hates snakes, came out and shot it with a shotgun.
The Grand Canyon is about 280 miles from Las Vegas. So, close to four and a half hours. Vegas is great!! So much to do.
The grand canyon west where the skywalk is located is only 125 miles, it takes about 2 hours.
Depending on what part of the grand canyon it could take you 2 1/2 to around 5 hours by car. So by US standards yeah its pretty close 😂
I came here to say that. lol.
I just discovered you a few days ago, and have enjoyed watching several of your videos related to America. You are SO funny and charming as well. So I just subscribed.
I am an American, brought up in and around Kansas City, Missouri. I've also lived in both Florida and Colorado. We currently live in a rural area about 10 miles east of a small town in TX. We are Kansas City Chiefs fans and also love the UFC. Our house is on an acre of land. We have two dogs (a Boxer and a Pit Bull Terrier mix) and a Calico cat. We also feed a small group of feral cats, as well as birds, hummingbirds, squirrels and wild rabbits.. The dogs go wherever we go (outside or inside). The cat isn't allowed outside because of the large predators (coyotes, bobcats, wild boar, etc.) we have here.
Anyway, glad I discovered you; and 'll definitely be looking forward to your entertaining reactions.
We have the cougars here in Central Oklahoma too. One was in my neighbors front yard once, and my aunt/sister saw one in a tree. I've only seen the black panthers, though. I've seen 4 of them. Makes me wonder how many I didn't see. Two of them followed my Aunt Catherine once while she was doing yardchores.
If I reacted to spiders (or any dangerous animal) with fear, the way some people do, my mother would have laughed at me and told me to 'buck up and be a man, son." And I think she was right. There is no reason for people to be so namby-pamby.
About ten years ago I went out on my patio to enjoy my morning cup of coffee. About ten feet from where I sat was my fence gate and something was odd. There was half a deer up against the gate. Everything from the ribcage down was gone. So much blood and carnage.
This was no dog attack. Whatever it was ate half a freaking deer. One of respectable size, I might add. I called Fish and Game. They said it was a clear cut bear attack when they saw it. They called the local cops and everyone went on a bear hunt.
They used to relocate bears that came too close to people, but they discovered that, regardless of how far away they took it, they always found their way back. One bear made a TWO HUNDRED mile journey back to our town. And it did it ridiculously fast. So this bear was shot. He'd become way too comfortable.
My terrible neighbors always left their dog in the back yard. Rain or shine. That dog was insane with neglect and barked constantly. Had it not been for the deer, I know for certain that poor animal would've been on the menu. The fence was only about three feet high and they kept the dog in the yard with a chain.
If you leave your pet outside unattended, it will become something's kibble. Some people have no sense.
Had a run-in with a cougar back in 2004. A coyote tried to take my dog three separate times during potty runs before someone put an end to her nonsense. (Not us. She was a notorious goat and chicken killer in our area.) For many of us in the USA, guns aren't just for bad guys. Much of our country is legitimately wild and we do have to contend with real threats.
I like the line, "you can't say it's not dangerous! It scared me!"
fun fact, growing up in florida in school i was taught how to avoid gators, serpentine, they suck at turning on land but dont be fooled, they are FAST in a straight line
Yes. Vegas is near enough to the Grand Canyon to take a side trip or a tour. Also, I live in Florida, and Gators can run about 35 mph. They told us in school when I was younger that they are not very good at turning, so to run in a zigzag pattern if you have to run away from one. I have seen plenty of them including while kayaking, but luckily never had flee from one.
Grew up & still live in Central California & have NEVER heard it be called a wetland!! I’ve seen maybe 3 or 4 Garter snakes in my life, but I’ve seen even more Mountain Lions, Black & Brown Bears, poisonous spiders, (majority are Black Widows) Wild Rabbits, Deer, Coyotes & Bats. (individually not combined) I’ve also seen exponentially more Rattlesnakes than any other snake. Also, Salamanders are also found in the foothills of Central California, so are Moose.
in illinois i can tell if spring has arrived by the return of the Redwing Blackbirds, lovely things, they only come back once all danger of frost is gone
I grew up in southern Indiana near a defunct quarry pond. Due to the “lake” (as we called it), our property attracted four different species of snakes (three of them venomous): garter snake, black racer, water moccasin, and diamondback rattlesnake.
The chipmunks are not that timid when they live in campgrounds and get used to being fed jelly beans, which is something we always did. Also I live in a town of about 100,000 people and have had mountain lions crossing the street in our downtown area.
there were a few he didn't mention, the Eastern Indigo Snake, Alligator Snapping Turtle, and the American Green Tree Frog just to name a few
The Grand Canyon is very close to Las Vegas. There several different excursion tours to the Canyon, including rafting, hiking, and helicopter. You can even do mixed tours that combing the 2 or 3 options, but they can take a lot more time. I opted for the helicopter tour, which can be pricy. We flew over and landed in the canyon, had brunch, and then few out. I even saw the Hoover Dam and a herd of wild horses. I will say this, pictures do not do justice to the canyon, it is a LOT deeper than you think it is.
😂😂😂 His reaction to the snakes, "Stop saying it's harmless, that's a lie!"
Most of the big dangerous animals of the British & Irish Isles like bears or wolves were rendered extinct centuries ago. There are some wildcats in Scotland, but they're interbreeding with feral domestic cats and gradually vanishing. The potentially dangerous animals which remain are quite shy and incidents involving them are rare.
The largest animal left, which is potentially dangerous in special circumstances, is red deer. In 2013, Dr. Kate Stone and her coworkers came back home to their holiday place in Scotland. This holiday home was surrounded by a garden and a fence. Somehow, a red stag had gotten into the garden while they were gone, and when they came back he bolted past them to leave through the gate. He _accidentally_ stabbed Kate in the throat with his antlers so deeply that he had to shake her off. All of this caused severe throat, neck, and spinal injuries. Kate was hospitalized for weeks, nearly died, and couldn't eat solid food for months.
One red stag named Callum was known to solicit food from tourists and had to be put down when his health deteriorated from the awful crap morons were giving him. Among other issues, his teeth were rotting.
I grew up in the Sierra Nevada foothills and every other year or so, they'd announce that the city park was closed because there was a mountain lion in it. I had a girlfriend friend who raised sheep for 4H (a youth farming organization) and had half her flock eaten from her back yard. We'd also catch garter snakes in the spring, keep them as pets, and release them in the fall. Had rattlesnakes but in 20 years, only saw them like twice. Also bears, but they were further up the mountains. Only needed to worry about them when we went camping.
Just to answer a question you had: Alligators are generally pretty slow on land, but they can sprint pretty fast. My papaw, who lived in Louisiana described it as "a mouth that is too big, with too many teeth, hauling ass at you as fast as a car."
On a related note, deep fried gator is tasty.
Oh, I gotta tell this story. A few years ago I was camping with friends in the mountains of Colorado. I set my camp a little away from everyone else so I could be further from a road people were driving on (too much noise for me to sleep). After dinner, talking, etc, we all went to sleep. I was in a hammock setup about 150 feet away from everyone else, and I woke up at 4AM to go to the bathroom. I started walking away from my hammock towards a gathering of trees that was about 80-100 feet away, and in the beam of my flashlight I saw eyes staring back at me in the darkness. I just stood there, thinking maybe it was just something reflective out in the treeline . . until one blinked, and then a few seconds later the other blinked. I went back to my hammock and kept my flashlight on that spot for 15 minutes and the animal never moved. I grabbed my sleeping bag and pillow and went back to my Jeep and slept in the Jeep. Came back after the sun had risen, probably around 8AM, and found big cat paw prints in the dirt around my hammock . . . always wondered if the cat checked out my hammock before or after I had gotten up to pee.
Watched all the way to the end but only subscribed through youtube. Don't know anything about those other platforms. Not sure if I, the device I use or the service I get out here can handle much else. A sneeze might throw off the delicate balance that keeps things going, ya know?
Very glad you will be visiting the States. Vegas is its own thing as is the Grand Canyon - both definitely worth visiting but not representative of whatever might be considered "typical" in America (not sure there really is such a thing actually). Hope to see videos from you about your experiences here.
Hummingbirds are my favorite. When I lived in Colorado, I used to sit out on my deck with the feeder and watch them feed and buzz all around me. Their flying skills are crazy. They also beat the tar out of each other from time to time. I once saw one pin another and start poking him like crazy. I had to go over and break it up. LOL They also will shoot straight up in the air at crazy speeds, way over the trees, and then come shooting down like a rocket and then pull up suddenly before they crash. Their agility in the air is AMAZING! I don't know how their tiny bodies take the G-Force pressures. I have even seen them out flying during hail storms. It is like they have a force field around them. The most impressive birds I have ever seen. I heard even physicists can't figure out how they are doing what they are doing. We have no math to explain it yet.
Alligators can run up to 35 miles per hour (mph) on land, but their average speed is around 11 mph. They can only maintain high speeds for short bursts, as they aren't built for endurance. Alligators are known to sprint at top speeds when chasing prey near the water's edge, but they typically only run long distances to escape threatening situations.
Alligators can run faster than a horse, so they can surely outrun a human. The US has it’s own native species of crocodile that lives alongside our alligators so if you visit the southeastern states, be aware. There’s a saying here, “If there’s a puddle, there’s a gator in it.”
Came for terrifying animals and holy fuck those pygmy rabbits must be related to the Rabbit of Caerbannog to make it in this video.
Yes- if you're oing to Vegas, the Grand Canyon is not to be missed! Vegas is one of the closest large cities to the Canyon. Helicopter scenic flights out of Vegas, or rent a car and drive to the North Rim- about a 4.5 hr. drive. Zion National Park and Bryce National Park can be visited on a 2-3 day roadtrip loop out of Vegas. The "Redrocks" just west of Vegas are similar scenery.
Yes, you can do a day trip from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon! This popular excursion allows visitors to experience some of the most stunning sights in the American Southwest. From Las Vegas, you can drive to the West Rim or Grand Canyon National Park along the picturesque Route 66.
What's fun is when mountain lions get caught on ring doorbell cameras. That's when you look to see where that neighborhood is in relation to yours, so you can avoid it. It happens often here in western Nebraska.
Number 14 the red salamander is a part of the amphibian family and group includes frogs, toads, salamanders, and newts. All can breathe and absorb water through their very thin skin.
I’m a frog breeder and I have to be very careful when I’m handling my Frogs because their skin will absorb any soap residue or any lotion or chemicals on my hands because they intake their breath or their air via their body. Toads can be a little bit more hardier. They do have a different system than a lot of of the others in the family, but you still want to be very careful.
If you're going to Vegas, you can get a cheap car rental and drive out in the desert. We went to see Devils creek in Death Valley. You'll be right next to Hover Dam, you must see it! It's amazing. A little further out and it's the Grand Canyon. All just a drive away
Hey, we used to pick up Garter Snakes, when we were kids, and play with them!! Never got a single bite from any of them. They're pretty mellow. They DO however emit a pretty nasty smell! LOL
14:30 They're very fast if they jump at you, like how a snake has lightning fast strikes. They sprint faster than most people, at about 20mph, but only in a straight line and not for very long, the common strategy is to zig zag if one is coming after you, they can't turn their long bodies very quickly.
Chipmunks are somewhat like squirrels but cuter. Ever watched, Disney's cartoons with Chip N Dale, it's a must to watch. They are the quintessential chipmunks doing their thing, getting food for winter.
Right at about the 9:00 stops in case we stop watching to remind to subscribe, and then immediately gets traumatized on the next one 😂
I think it's always interesting that people from other countries always talk about the Florida puma as if there aren't puma/ mountain lions in other parts of the US. Mountain lions used to be found all over the US, I think Florida puma is the only species left in the eastern part but we have a lot out west in Colorado, Oregon, Washington, California and several other states. There are estimated to be between 20,000 and 40,000, so that 170 are only the subspecies found in Florida. Yes, yes I know the other kind are found also Canada, Central and South America, but they ought to at least mention the other ones like they did the bald eagles and grizzly bear.
I personally love the cowboy outfit 🤠 you wear it well my friend. Thank you for making me laugh during this reaction. I had a horrible day at work today and I knew I could count on you to get me out of my bad mood! 😂
As someone who lives in the central valley (Fresno CA) i can attest to the garter snakes being harmless, they honestly dont even try to bite and you can pick them up. Ive never even had one coil up on me before and ive ran into a few of them, they really enjoy the ponding basins around here lol.
Yes, gators can run actually pretty fast on land, so don't think you're safe if you make it out of the water. They will chase you.
Hello Adam! I've got a friend in Australia that came for a backpacking trip to Yosemite National Park just to see Bears so I took him out to a backcountry site . Oh, He saw bears alright ! One came thru the bedrolls in which we were sleeping about 2:00 AM (all four of us,spread out on the ground next to individual piles of stones with which we discouraged interlopers)
Your reaction to the grouse, hahaha that was chuckle worthy!
You're in luck. You can easily get Grand Canyon day trip tour packages from Vegas. It's a 4 hour bus ride.
In elementary school in Florida, we were taught to run in zigzags to escape an alligator because they can only run in a straight direction. Thankfully, I never had to try it.
Adam keeps us entertained with his great videos. 💚💚💚💚
The Grand Canyon is close to Las Vegas -- about a 4 hour drive. You can also sign up for a tour from Las Vegas. There are several tour companies that take people from Vegas to the Canyon. Some of the tours go by bus or Van or you can take plane or helicopter tour over the Grand Canyon from Las Vegas. Check with your hotel's concierge for the different tours.
Two of the mountain lions live 25 miles from here. I live in Oklahoma. I have three roaming packs of coyotes, hawks, eagles, vultures, rabbits, mice, rats, squirrels, snow geese, owls, eight deer, two cranes, seven types of snakes, over thirty smaller birds identified, more than I have identified, skunks, opossums, beavers all live or visit frequently visit my seven acres. I even had two large pigs stop by, and a large goat twice come say high. Withing two miles there are also horses, llamas,cows, lots of dogs, cats, and chickens.
Garter Snakes were really common where I grew up. Probably not the smartest thing to do but I regularly played with them and picked them up.
When you called the Condor Voldemort I laughed so hard.
It’s our Bark Scorpion that can kill…on rare occasions some Brazilian Wandering Spiders have been found as far north as Oklahoma…but like the mountain lion…they seem to have trouble moving past climate and geological barriers…
We call the last canid a coy-wolf in the Mid-Atlantic region. They are kind of a creature of myth and legend, but they're around.
There are shuttles from Las Vegas to the South Rim of the Canyon. You can't possibly grasp it's size or beauty without going there. I took a rafting trip that took me 88 miles downriver before I hiked out. Don't even ask how much that costed.
They taught us in elementary school to run in a zig zag pattern if chases by a gator. I kid you not!! They can run fast in a straight line but if you make fast turns back and forth it confuses them.
"TERRIFYING ANIMALS"
Proceed to show a chipmunks..........i am petrified
Check out Antelope Canyon ( at Grand Canyon), it’s so vivid and colourful it looks like a different planet
I still remember the childhood trauma of seeing a wolf spider for the first time with its babies swarming over its back. As an adult now, I'd worry more about the brown recluse.
If you're in Vegas, definitely take the 2 hour drive to the Grand Canyon. There are also tour buses for around $50 if you don't want to rent a car. I've been there once, and it didn't look REAL. It looks like a painting.
I live in Utah, we have all of the big 6.
Buffalo bear, moose, elk,cougar and sheep.
Chipmunks, squirrels, and prairie dogs will come right up to you if you bring friut and nuts.
We have the largest collection of bald eagles outside of Alaska.
The first known jack-a-lope also came from utah
As someone already mentioned, Las Vegas is actually quite close to the Grand Canyon. A day trip is totally doable though you won't be able to see that much. And alligators are fairly fast sprinters on land, about 11 miles per hour for short distances. They can't keep it up for long distances and they're more of an ambush predator, snagging mammals that get too close to the water, but I'm betting that most, if not all of those deaths by gators happened in the water.
Small alligators can run, though it's more of a bounding movement, and they only do it to escape predators or get back to water quickly. By the time they're large enough to be a threat they've also lost the ability to run, the fastest they move on land is a slow plodding.
But in ancient times, there were crocodilomorphs that evolved to be land-based pursuit hunters like wolves.
