Famously the rattlers in nor cal mountains can get flipping massive, my dad's buddy had one lift itself up to look inside his pickup truck and stare him in the eyes.. 😳 .. oh grandpa was kinda hard of sight and would slam on the brakes to skid across rattle snakes sunning in the pavement 😂 50/50 if it was a snake..
Adam did you know there is a program to re-introduce wolves into Britain? Back in the middle ages and before, there were lots of wolves there. 🙂
btw, there's a national park called Channel Islands national park, I think it has been in your videos. National Geographic does adventure cruises to those islands (you can get a much cheaper ride if you're cool with camping on the island and being picked up the next morning, there's a company contracted to provide that). So, apparently a biologist taking some National Geographic guests on a tour of one of the islands discovered a new species: a rattlesnake that has no rattle. There's no major predators on the island (except man) so it evolved without the rattle!
Observe,
"Crotalus catalinensis is a rattleless rattlesnake endemic to Santa Catalina Island, in the Gulf of California, Mexico. It has been hypothesized that the lack of a rattle in this species is a stealth adaptation for hunting birds in vegetation. We provide detailed data on the diet of C. catalinensis from samples obtained during nine trips to the island in 2002-2004."
(the paper is wrong, Santa Catalina is off the coast of Los Angeles and is in US waters.) 🙂
If you wonder just how fast a bear can react if spooked

I was bitten by a Brown Recluse when I was 19. It got me in the calf muscle. A lot of people don't understand what necrotic venom does. A hole literally rotted out at the site of the bite that I could easily stick my thumb into up to the first joint. The flesh and muscle just... liquified.
" Why is there an alligator walking down the street?"...Because it' is Tuesday and I live near a lake? LoL
Lol
To cross the street
That is my pet Alligator I call him Death Roll!
Because Florida
He’s just going to work, as it’s Tuesday. 😂😂😂😂
"Why did the alligator cross the road?" To get to the other side. Did we learn nothing from chickens?
Lol
I had the same thought ;-)
😂😂😂
Or a chicken was on the other side ..
@@dethincarnate1149”bc the chicken crossed the road”
Cottonmouths are called such because of the white lining around their mouth. They can be found up and down the Mississippi River Valley. Also, my state is known for the aforementioned snake, as well as copperheads, brown recluse and black widow spiders, elk, black bears, and the occasional bus-sized catfish.
We have them here on the east coast in New Jersey too but here most people call them water moccasins.
Yes and dont they also spit on grass that also looks like a little cottonball as well? Idk if its just them that do that lol
@@JDogVids I've never heard of them doing that.
@@JDogVids That is not a thing. What you may have heard of is "snake spit"? If so, that is actually just "spittle" made by little aphids in the grass to protect their nymphs... I don't know all the names for that but I know frog spit and snake spit are among them and have confused more than 1 kid I've come across.
its because when they feel threatened they open there mouth which is all white
I think after this, you deserve a ‘favourite puppy breeds in each state’ video 😂😂😂
Florida would still be a gator.
@@hunterackerman1697 oh right - swamp puppy 😆😂
@@hunterackerman1697 I really need to stop reading comments while drinking something. I just spit my soda out. 😂😂😂
I was eating when you asked, "What's the antlers made of? Wood?" Almost choked 😂 10:40
Lol!!!!!!
Antlers are made of bone, with specific parts composed of keratin. That's the substance that makes up finger nails in humans. They can actually get pretty sharp and do damage if a deer charges.
Especially if it's not a deer but an elk (for people outside the US, an elk is basically a giant deer, and a moose is basically a giant elk).
There is no keratin in antlers. You're thinking of horns.
@@johnathanmartin1504 An elk, in the US is an American subspecies of the European red deer. An American moose, while technically a deer, is a quite different animal from an elk.
Nah, im pretty sure wood was the right answer. They're in forests and forests are made of wood and so are the woodland creatures 😂
In Arizona we commonly can experience seeing coyotes, mountain lions, bears, rattlesnakes, various snakes, black widows spiders, gila monsters, rarely seen cougars, jaguars. It's common to wear your shoes indoors because of various critters that may sneak inside our homes.
When I was a teenager in Arizona I found a scorpion in my bed.
I had a friend who he often saw centipede crawl out his shower drain as he was showering. Mmm, trailerpark life.
I lived in Arizona for nearly a decade. I was so glad to get back home where we only have coyotes, mountain lions, black bears, rattlesnakes, black widows, and scorpions.
I do recall a tiny scorpion on the floor of grandparents house in Texas. Being from Florida (it’s too wet for them to be abundant like the desert), mom wasn’t happy and Dad was like, ‘I almost forgot about those.’ It didn’t help that we had mesh tennis shoes and sandals because we normally don’t need unbreathable materials to protect our feet on daily basis, depending on where and how you live.
@@jcruz4759 new fear unlocked
When I was little I was throwing rocks at a water moccasin swimming across the lake. It turned and came after me! It would have gotten me too if there wasn't a picnic table there for me to climb up on. It circled for a while and gave up. That experience taught me a very good lesson. Never tease and animal.
I believe you! Those snakes are very aggressive. I had one that would attack my aluminum boat. It's head was high above the water. It scared me.
@@moniqueengleman873 Hogwash!!!

"Never tease a critter, now let me be precise.....the critter wouldn't like it and teasing isn't nice!"
My Mom used to say that about all kinds of "critters". Including human critters!!🤣🤣
Oy vey, another “moccasin chased me” story. there has literally never been a single documented case of this happening. Herpetologists work with them in the field all the time, and have mountains of video evidence to the contrary. they are literally the clumsiest snakes on land, and extremely slow. More often, they curl up and gape, and then they flee. These stories are often a case of false perception due to fear. I live in Florida, I literally pulled my kayak up on shore right next to a cotton mouth, all he did was look at me and flee. Which is what they do 90% of the time, unless you have a fish they believe they can steal. To make it worse, most people can’t even discern between the various species of water snakes and a moccasin.
"Is there a snake in each state!?" - check out 'Snake Discovery', but also, yeah, America is just a northern hemisphere Australia.
We also have marsupials
Why is an alligator crossing the street? Are you going to tell him he can't? 😂
😂
All scorpians flouresce under UV light. I have a field blacklight I take camping just to hunt them. There are actually a lot of scorpians across the US.
"Why is there an alligator walking down the street?" I mean, you go tell the giant prehistoric reptile where it can and cannot go.
The alligator you saw walking across the street in a neighborhood is in South Carolina where I live and it's true! We have to keep an eye out for them so most of us with dogs have 6 foot tall (2 meters) privacy fences around our backyards to keep them out!
I'm a lifelong resident of Rhode Island. My mother was bitten by a deer tick and contracted Lyme disease in the 1980s. It was known to medicine then but was still rare, so she suffered for a long time before it was diagnosed. But it only made her uncomfortable. Her life wasn't ended, like the poor woman in Texas just last week whose remains were found in the mouth of an alligator. I could not live in the swampy parts of the southeastern U.S., knowing that a giant predator could appear at any moment. I went golfing once in Florida, and when I hit the ball near the water but not in it, I just hit another ball. It definitely was not worth the risk of being maimed or worse.
Sorry to hear about your mother. I don’t know anyone with Lyme but I hear it’s no joke. Just the thought of ticks make my skin crawl.
Gators are super chill, as long as you’re not swimming around in gator water, or fooling around with them on land, you’ll be fine. Now if you run into an American croc that’s a different story, but luckily they’re nowhere near as common as gators.
@@charlesbrown4483 Thanks. Just my luck that I was in Fort Lauderdale, in southern Florida -- the one place where both animals can be found! Even better, there are now unknown thousands of pythons nearby in the Everglades.
@@JPMadden Definitely don’t have to worry about pythons. Even though their numbers are insane, they’re still extremely hard to find. Plus they’re not venomous so they’re not much of a threat to adult humans.
@@charlesbrown4483 Maybe so, but when there's a chance of being killed and eaten, it can be difficult to be rational. One of several reasons why I don't like ocean beaches, which I live near, is fear of sharks. I know I'm far more likely to die in a car accident on the way to the beach, but travelling in a car is a necessary risk.
When my sister was a teenager she went to visit her father (same mom, different fathers) in Florida and while she was there a sink hole opened up in the back yard and when my sister went out to look at the hole there was an alligator in right there in the hole...about 4ft. away from where she was standing.
I'm a born and raised Virginian and have, on many occasions, had close calls with Cottonmouths.
Hey Adam Couser, I'm in Columbus Ohio.. The most dangerous animal which may sound silly but DEER are the most dangerous animals where I live! Deer are numerous in the wooded areas of the city of Columbus. There are deer crossing warning signs also to be watchful for deer that maybe standing in the road or on the side of the road you are driving on. Deer often run across in front of your car. Deer are also hard to see because their camouflage body color blends in to the surroundings. Deer like to come out during sun rise and sun set. Deer can cost thousands of dollars of damage to your car if hit.
Hit one on the highway in a 1978 Ford LTD at 55mph when I was 16. The impact took out the whole front quarter panel on the driver's side. I considered myself lucky to have come away with only a repair bill for the car.
Hey, at least we had venison that fall!
I’ve heard the same with Pennsylvania cuz the deer population is so high
I'm in Toledo and it's the same here.
I'm in South Carolina and I've been hit twice by deer. Each time the dumb a$$es ran out into the road and into the side of my car. No significant damage to my vehicles, but scared the stuffing out of me.
@@eywine.7762 Yes! i can relate to that!
Here in southern Louisiana we have alligators crossing the street and in peoples back yards.
Big whoop, here in florida we ride them to work
@@spec_opsgaming... ROFL! (Fellow Floridian)
The alligator, like the chicken, is just trying to get to the other side of the road.
Adam, cotton mouth so named because when it opens its mouth its solid white inside- like cotton. As a kid here in north Texas my dad and uncle discovered one in a utility drawer in our shed. It held big stuff like chain saws, etc. When they threw the drawer to the ground she didn't strike. After she was dispatched we discovered 6 whole hen's eggs she'd just swallowed from our neighbors chicken coop. Good times 😉
I've actually seen most of these at some point. I'm a Floridian, and the funny and wild thing to remember here is that there are a lot of these deadly and dangerous creatures living in the state. With snakes, we have diamondbacks, coral snakes, copperheads, cottonmouths, pythons, and so on. We have Gators and Crocs. We have widows, recluses, and all other sorts of venomous spiders. We have coyotes, great whites, hammerheads, panthers, bears, bull sharks, box jellyfish, and the list goes on.
Don't forget our Jurrasic size flying roaches. LOL
@@rosanneshinkle4133 Ugh I wish I could forget them lmao. That reminds me of a funny story. So you know how cats will sometimes bring their owners "gifts," like stuff they've discovered or hunted? I had an orange tabby named Tater who would do this sometimes. Anyway, I'm hanging out in my garage one day chilling. I'm kinda leaned up against my car with my hand resting palm up when I feel this thing drop onto my hand. I could feel the weight and the size of it and I almost instantly could tell what it was. So I slowly turn to check it and... yup... it's a huge fucking roach. Then I look over at my cat. He almost smiles at me and proudly goes, "meow!" THANKS CAT XD I waited until he was out of sight before chucking that unholy abomination as far as I could outside my house. I think it was dead, but can't take chances with those things lol.
@kylewelsh_krossdesu7700 good story, I was swimming in an outdoor pool several years ago when one plopped into the water. I thought it was a bird!
Don’t forget American Crocodiles
I almost peed myself laughing when you screamed when the snake jumped in the Texas section. I would love to see you play a scary game with a lot of jump scares in it. Something light maybe, maybe Friday nights with Freddie! 😂
Who in the heck thinks that scorpions are the MOST DANGEROUS animals in Arizona?! That's actually hilarious! What about our bears, bobcats, mountain lions, coyotes and wolves just to name a couple?! As well as our Gila Monsters, rattlesnakes, black widows and brown recluse spiders.
The man double dipped on Moose and Alligator he can circle back a few times a on Mountain Lion
This list is bs. We dont have Bull sharks in Washington. Cougars and bears are our most dangerous animals.
Certain species of Scorpions are a lot more deadly than some people think, and the Arizona Bark Scorpion is definitely one of them
@brandont1173 maybe in puget sound
Just because you are all use to them in Arizona doesn't make them any less dangerous. They kill 3300 people a year and with numbers like that lands them in the the top 10 most dangerous animals. Probably different more dangerous scorpions in other parts of the world.
10:40 Antlers are basically an extension of the skull. While they are growing they have "velvet", the soft tissue that is delivering blood to the growing bone. When it's done the skin falls off and the antlers dry out to a somewhat flexible but hard weapon and showcase for the ladies.
The Arkansas Alligator Farm has been a tourist attraction in Hot Springs since 1902. If you visit, you can feed 4-year-old little guys with pieces of hot dog or feed the big gators pieces of chicken, either way on a fish pole. Babe Ruth once hit a 500-ft. fly ball from Whittington Park right into the Alligator Farm.
In Ohio I have seen black bear, copperheads, had a mountain lion leave claw marks on our house (tracked him via prints that disappeared into thick brush), black widows were in our basement windows and my aunt spent 3 days in the hospital from a brown recluse bite. Oh, and Mothman (haha)
You must be south east Ohio for you don't see them up north by the great lake it's the deadliest thing in Ohio, other then Cleveland.
don't forget The Grassman in Minerva, OH.
Most of the South has multiple of the animals in this list. Imagine needing to check your garage each spring for copperhead, keep your small pets in due to cayotes, watch every step due to multiple venemous snakes, checotton mouths, body of water for gators and cottonmouths. the woods have bears and mountain lions. Add the coast to some states and you add crocs, sharks, man o' wares, and rays (plus all the above because everything loves the beach). The South is exotic.
If the critters don’t get ya the southern heat will
Yeah, bark scorpions are no joke. I remember house-sitting for a feiend a few years back and we found the place was infested. As the sun went down the ground started to crawl. I've never noped out of someplace faster than that
My mother was born and raised in Alabama. Cottonmouths not only swim but are also found in trees near creeks or rivers. They will drop out of the trees into the water. When my mother was little they would play in creeks during summer to keep cool and had to look out for them up above as well as in the water.
I grew up in Alabama and had some friends up the road when I was little who always had to leave their shoes outside and go into the house barefoot. When I was about 8 one of the kids went to put her shoes on and shook them and beat them against the step as she was told to do by her mother. She opened her hand to show me the "worms" that she got out of her shoe and her 17 year old brother took her hand and slung it back and forth a couple of times until she dropped the contents. She started to cry, thinking he was being mean, but then he explained and showed us both that she had been holding 5 baby copperheads.
I've got family with a cattle and bison ranch, bison are terrifying because all their weight is over their shoulders... they can literally turn on a dime to attack/charge
VINDICATION!!
I thought it was gonna be that stupid timber rattlesnake for Minnesota.
Instead it's the goodest of giant puppers.
I'd argue the moose would be far more dangerous, as a Minnesotan.
Florida native. Alligators can climb fences. Let that sink in.
True story.
My step grandparents lived in a neighborhood in Florida. I'm from Minnesota. I had no idea at 10 years old that I needed to look for gators before going outside to play at their house. I learned that lesson REAL quick after nearly tripping on one. It wasn't huge but it was bigger than me at that point!
I'm actually glad they did repeats instead of just excluding states or trying to find a second place for them.
aligators are so docile they aren't dangerous, what's dangerous in florida's water is blue-green algie but that's not an animal so.. panther.
@@TheGoreforce I would think Florida Man was the most dangerous.
@@brianl8481 legends have it that florida man causes the blue-green algea.
I'm only at Iowa (brown recluse spider) and knowing how many more snakes and spiders there are is just giving me the giggles from having seen this before. Also.. Washington is also Washington DC. I'm from Washington state and I've never heard of a bull shark attack. We got bears. Cougars. Spiders. Killer whales. Naked dudes with axes. But never heard of a bull shark here. We have a beach that human feet wash up in and the government is just like 'meh.. happens'. A lot.
I have lived in New Jersey most of my 45 years, and, in that time, I have only ever seen one Copperhead in the wild.
I didn't even know Indiana had rattlesnakes till today. I know we have Water Moccasins.
I'm 63, born and raised in Washington and I have never heard of any sightings or catching of Bull sharks
While hunting in Mississippi, US President Theodore Roosevelt was guided by Holt Collier, a former slave and expert in the area. Collier cornered and stunned a black bear for Roosevelt, but Roosevelt refused to shoot it. Roosevelt was a conservationist who believed it would be in poor taste to kill the bear in its weakened state.
Cartoonist Clifford K. Berryman drew a cartoon depicting the incident, which was published in The Washington Post.
Brooklyn candy store owner Morris Michtom saw the cartoon and decided to make a stuffed toy bear to honor Roosevelt. Michtom and his wife Rose made stuffed animals, and Michtom called his creation "Teddy's Bear".
Q: "why is there an alligator crossin' the fu@#in road bro"
A: to get to the other side
Because that's where the chicken went.
He's going to the store to get some beer
Because he can. Who’s gonna stop him???😂😂😂
@@slford80 a redneck with a rifle ??
I’m not going to tell the dinosaur it can’t.
Just like the chicken, the alligator crossed the road . . . to get to the other side.
I’ve lived in a whole bunch of the states, and have spotted very few of these animals. My count is: multiple black widow spiders, a few brown recluses, one black bear that I helped a fellow middle aged woman to chase away from her chicken coop, a couple of moose from waaaay far off, and one copperhead snake on my back porch that I chased off by spraying it with a hose, poor thing. It was just out of hibernation, and not at all in the mood for a cold shower. Oh, and plenty of coyotes.
I’ve never lived in a state with brown bear (that I know of) but I’m pretty sure the states I’ve lived in covered the rest of that list of dangerous animals, and most of my time there was spent near their territory.
The thing is, it wound up being basically no danger. Yeah, the idea of them can be scary, but you have to either work really hard to fall afoul of them, or be insanely unlucky. Cars, on the other hand…. There were over 6 million car accidents reported to police last year. Now THAT is terrifying.
Oh, and also, DEER. Deer are trying to kill us all. Talk about car accidents! I’m rooting for the hunters.
10:42 Antlers are made of bone, specifically a type of bone called osseous tissue. They start as a soft, cartilaginous structure covered with a layer of velvet, which is rich in blood vessels and nerves. This velvet provides nutrients and oxygen as the antlers grow. Once fully developed, the antlers harden into bone and the velvet is shed. In the late winter or early spring, the antlers are typically cast off and regrown, starting the cycle anew. This regrowth process is influenced by various factors, including genetics, nutrition, and overall health.
I see snakes quite often when I go play disc golf. Mostly just harmless snakes but every couple months I’ll run across a cottonmouth. The biggest snake I’ve seen was a 7 foot black snake. I’m always super careful when checking areas to find my discs. The craziest thing I’ve seen wasn’t snakes but near one of the lakes at one of the courses there were thousands of baby frogs. They were all about the size of a thumbnail. You couldn’t even walk down the fairway because there were so many of them.
Born and Raised in AZ: had a baby Sidewinder/horned Rattlesnake come in the side door slither across the house and out the courtyard door... nearly stepped on it, then gave it space and watched it. A lot of folks will shake out their close-toed shoes before putting them on, to make sure nothing crawled in overnight. We've also got Hawks and Owls, which will carry off small pets.
3:49 There are 32 species of rattlesnakes in the western hemisphere, Canada to Argentina. They prefer the desert though. Arizona alone has around 17 species.
Only Alaska and Hawaii don't have snakes.
didnt know we have rattlesnakes in canada, maybe the most southern parts of the middle provinces (like desert areas) ? im too lazy to google it ;p
I'm originally from western NY. I now live in FL. The first time I saw an alligator, I lost my mind. I thought it was so cool. My husband is from FL and was like "Yeah, it isn't cute when it's eating your legs. Stay away". We lived in central Connecticut and there's also tons of Black Bears. We also lived in Maine, there's Moose and Black Bears as well.
They're sort of cute when they're eating your legs. Sort of
I live in Tennessee -we had a massive copperhead snake problem at our previous house.
I grew up in North Dakota and live in Minnesota now. Growing up I saw rattlesnakes (and other non-venomous snakes), coyotes, and bison often. We have mountain lions in ND too. Now in MN, when I go camping up in the northern forests, I've heard both timberwolves howling and bobcats screaming off in the distance, but never seen them. Black bears are also prominent here in Minnesota. We always have to protect our food if we're camping because the black bears will sniff it out and pay you a visit. Black bears aren't typically aggressive and will run away if you chase it off (unless there's a cub).
My mother was from Standing Rock, North Dakota and lived in a sod house as a child. She was playing out behind the house when she was 6 or 7 and her grandmother was looking and couldn't find her. When her grandmother opened the back door there was my mother, playing with a pair of full grown grey wolves and trying to push their hindquarters down onto the prairie grass and make them sit like dogs.
The opening scene, south carolina, with the gator crossing the road; actually has most of these, I see
copperheads/diamondbacks/blackwidows/black bears/deer/coyotes almost on a weekly basis. Gators are only around the coast
Refresh my memory. Is Arkansas east coast or west.
There's a map on your phone bud
@@jaythomaso9311 That was me straining to be polite "bud" check you phone. Arkansas is not on either coast. It has alligators in it because of the Mississippi river.
Thanks for playing.
@@waterandsteel4713 strain harder next time
Down in South Carolina, we have all those animals (Except Mountain Lions).
So all these critters are normal here, and are more likely to end up either on our wall, clothes, or become food. It all depends on what you’re carrying with you to prepare yourself from these threats.
As a Kentuckian i can say that if i see a snake that isn't a rat snake or garden snake it is a copperhead and we don't let them live if they are around houses
I laughed harder and harder with each snake. As I was waiting for my state, Texas, I was thinking it could be many of these: snakes, scorpions and come think of it, wolves, coyotes, and spiders, too. I knew Texas wouldn’t disappoint. The snake tried to attack the camera man, and you jumped back and screamed. 😂
I live in the southern interior of British Columbia Canada, and we share our back country with black bears, grizzlies, wolves, mountain lions and wolverines - not to mention the herbivores that can kill you, like moose, elk and even deer.
Anything I do “off-trail” requires a 12 gauge shotgun loaded with slugs as a companion!
Peace (our grizzlies can weigh up to 1400lbs!)
I have no doubt. My neighbor went hunting whitetail up there, and has a massive head mounted on his wall. It is at least twice as big as the biggest American whitetail I have seen. He said it had something to do with how they take care of their ecology, apparently much better than we do. Whatever it is they do, it makes for some huge deer.
@@tattooedman42 you have no idea what you are talking about. Deer in ohio eat from farms, and other things. Has everything to do with heredity, but likely you just never seen one in the states and thought his 10 pointer was big.
@@TheGoreforce I'm glad you know all about me. I've lived most of my life in rural setting and have hunted since I was 12 years old. I have seen tons of deer, never saw one as big as that, and I have seen some big deer where I live. Some as big as 12 points, and a few non-typical with more than that. So I would say that you have no idea what YOU are talking about.
@@tattooedman42 Then you'd know no matter how much you eat when growing, you don't get larger. You'd get fat.
@@TheGoreforce I didn't say anything about eating habits.
I use to walk around my neighborhood trail every morning, then one afternoon I saw a warning sign for rattlesnakes. Then we had a mountain lion and a bear coming out of the mountains and get into peoples yards/garages, also black widow spiders everywhere. We have a few neighborhoods up in the foothills, but these animals were well into town via the creek that starts in the mountains. I stay in the house as much as possible now, but I have had close encounters with deers while driving in town.
I live in Florida. I mostly grew up in FL, so I've seen plenty of alligators. My b/f spent the 1st 12 yrs of his life in South Carolina, near Myrtle Beach. His dad was working at a golf course one day & brought him w/ him. He was exploring a little creek or swampy area nearby, walking through the water. A golf cart full of older gentlemen passed by, stopped, & told him that there was an alligator stalking him! He turned around & saw the gator! He was about 10 at the time, so not too big. He, luckily, was able to get out before that gator decided to attack! So glad those men happened to drive by!
Sometimes you will find alligators laying in the road at night down south.
They’re warming themselves on the road.
They’re called “speed bumps” by the locals.
Bro I started watching when you 1st reacted to hockey and I've enjoyed all your content since 🙌🏽😂
Alabama has the Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake, American Alligator, Cotton Mouth, Copperhead, Brown Recluse Spider, Coyote, Deer Ticks with Lime Disease, Black Widow Spiders, Black Bears, Bobcats. That's just off the top of my head. The Eastern Diamond Back is the one I watch for the most.
For Minnesota they forgot cougars. In Bloomington, seven miles from downtown Minneapolis, I have found their paw prints in my backyard.
My stepdad and Mom owned a zoo called Snake-A-Torium.. had snakes, alligators, birds and animals. My stepdad would take tours through the alligators and snakes, and milk a snake for the tourists. He would walk through hundreds of water moccasins, and usually kept atleast 3 rattlers. He was bit on so many occasions that the anti-venom made him sicker than the bite.
His reactions are hilarious! Snake, snake, snake, snake, wolf, snake, snake, snake, coyote, snake. LOL!!!!
I'll try to keep this short. But, I live in West Virginia USA and one Fall day I decided to go turkey hunting. The woods were abnormally dry due to lack of rainfall. That made a chipmunk sound like an elephant stomping through the woods. I was fully camouflaged, sitting with my back to a large oak tree, and using a turkey call every now and then trying to get one into shotgun range. I heard a slight rustling sound behind me and I very slowly peeked around the tree to see a bobcat had gotten to within thirty feet of me. I assume that it had heard my turkey call and was fixin to make me into lunch. Anyway, once it saw me it took off. Now, I've got over fifty years of hunting and fishing experience, so I kinda know my way around in the woods. It still amazes me just how close that thing was able to get to me before I heard it...and, I'm glad I did. An angry bobcat pouncing on my head thinking that I was a snack wouldn't be fun. Apologies for the ratchet-jawing...I dig the channel and keep the vids comin.
Camping in Maryland one summer I picked up a piece of firewood and discovered two Black Widow spiders, one with an egg sac. I put the wood down and backed away.
The program you’re watching were very nice on Florida’s dangerous animals

The reason water moccasins are also called cotton mouths is because the the inside of their mouths looks like cotton. Most snakes would rather not bite you if they can avoid it. They don't want to waste venom on something they can't eat. I nearly stepped on a copperhead and it made a mock strike at me. We both gave each other a wide berth after that.
My roommate was bitten by a black widow and was in excruciating pain for days. I've also been stung by a couple of scorpions. Unpleasant, but reportedly not nearly as bad as a black widow bite.
In rural areas we lost a number of barn cats to coyotes and bobcats. I have seen a cougar in the wild before, but briefly, they're very shy.
When we were kids, we loved playing in the nearby woods. My mom just told us, "Don't step on a snake!" But she never said anything about poking them with a stick.
😂
I grew up in the woods and wetlands of southern Michigan and I was bit by more snakes and spiders of all varieties than most people see in their lifetime before I was 5 years old.
I live and farm in Kansas. I have seen the bear, the mountain lion, black widow, brown recluse, the massagua rattlesnake as well at the timber rattlesnake. My philosophy is- you leave them alone and they’ll leave you alone. It’s worked so far.
Adam, greetings from Arkansas! Dude, we do have some alligators, but we also have the copperheads, rattlesnakes, cottonmouths, scorpions, black widow and brown recluse spiders, brown bears, cougars, wolves, and the list goes on. Man, you just get used to it. Especially if you're a city boy, you rarely come in contact with any of those. (Side note: Adam, when the rattlesnake struck at the screen it didn't even phase me. But when you screamed and jumped, I damn near pissed myself! 🤣 Don't ever change, man. You're awesome. 👍
LOL!! I live in Arizona and I have scorpions in my backyard all the time, just a regular part of nature 😅. There are also Coyotes in my area as well
Same here, it's the Gila monsters that give me the creeps.
After living in Arizona for 6 years, I think my wildlife bingo card is nearly full. 🤣
None of the animals seem to care that humans are there, they just keep existing in people's yards and doing what they want.
Actually I've seen two Gila monsters. They are good at being intimidating when they want to be, but they are really slow, so they're a bigger danger to a pet who isn't smart enough to back off than to a human.
I live in South Florida. The range for my job is outdoors. When we have to do night qualifications you see eyes glowing in the canal behind us. Stay out of the canals in Florida... Stay out of lakes and ponds too.
Cottonmouths are named as such because the inside of their mouth's a bright pale hue, which they use to scare away potential predators by quickly opening their mouths for a flash of color.
I'm with you on the bear. I've always predicted that my last words will be "Aww. What a cute baby bear!" Rattlesnakes are generally not aggressive, and they will rattle at you if you start getting too close, so there's less of a chance you'll come too close and they'll bite. I live in AZ and have come within a couple feet of them twice. Both times they rattled, and I just backed away without incident. In Florida when it gets cold, large iguanas freeze up - they are aware of their surroundings but can't move - and they like to rest in palm trees. So when the temperature drops too low, frozen iguanas start falling out of the trees.
I'm in Knoxville Tennessee and I came home from work one evening to find a copperhead snake in my living room. Apparently, I forgot to completely close the patio door. Animal Control came out and removed him.
Think of antlers as sports cars: They grow them yearly, and the most attractive antlers are those big ones that show that the deer has enough resources to grow them. "Hey baby... look at these things!"
And then they just fall off, crazy
When I was a kid I lived in CA and at the time we had a wooden garage door that had a dart board on it and behind it lived a black widow spider and it was a really friendly spider. My dad was even able to hold it and play with it. It lived behind that dart board for about 7 years.
0:50 it’s called a cottonmouth because when threatened, they open their mouths to display their cotton-white mouths to warn off predators. I was disappointed to see that they didn’t wxplain that lol.
"Why is the walking across the road?!"
Because the chicken is on the other side.😂
A LOT of those critters in other states are in my state as well as the mountain lions... And tornados.
I don't see how Mountain Lions are the most dangerous animals in Oklahoma when the Oklahoma Wildlife Department keeps denying they're here. Which is also odd because I've heard stories about people shooting them and all of sudden Park Rangers show up wanting to know where the Mountain lion, that isn't in Oklahoma, is buried because they know the person killed it.
Bob cats are so freaking adorable.
I happen to know several "Bears" that enjoy hugs LOL

Antlers are typically made of keratin; the same stuff our hair and nails are made of. It is wondrous how the same basic material can be used in so many ways. Also, I was literally laughing out loud at your reactions.
Dude I’m born and raised in the coastal swamps of South Carolina. Seeing gators wandering is a normal occurrence. I had to laugh though because when you asked the question, “Why is there an alligator walking across the road?”, I actually recognize that particular gator and I know for a fact that he walks the streets because his drivers license is suspended.
This is how we feel watching info on animals in Australia!
In the Smokey Mountains of East Tennessee there is a place called "Cades Cove" we have had a problem with tourists, getting to friendly with the bears!
"Why did the alligator cross the road?"
What, like you're going to stop him? 😂😂😂
The first snake shown for Kentucky is not a copperhead, it’s a harmless water snake in the nerodia family. The vertical labial lines on the mouth, striped pattern on the body, and the large round eyes give it away. The second picture for Kentucky is a copperhead based on the Hershey kiss pattern on the body, ridges over the eyes that give them an “angry” look, and lack of labial lines. FYI if you leave a snake alone, even a venomous one, it will leave you alone. They aren’t going to waste time fighting a losing battle unless they have to. Finally, rattle snakes can be found in all but 4 states in the U.S. The best way to avoid trouble with a snake is to learn about snakes.
Also, as a Floridian, gators really aren’t that big a deal. They aren’t land predators, so stay out of fresh water or stay in your boat and you won’t have to worry about them. When you see them crossing streets it’s mostly because they are looking for new waters or a mate. They won’t bother you if you give them space.
In my hometown in Texas we have the "Rattlesnake Round Up " each year. We collect them for a few months and then thousands of Texans get together for a giant Barbeque. Good eating. Taste just like chicken and it clears our fields of rattlers.
I've seen many of these in life. I wear boots around my property due to the rattlesnakes on one part and the cotton mouths bear the creeks. We have yellow ringed snakes under our porch, they are.... adorable and non-venomous. We have bob- cats that roam our woods and the number of spiders is insane. Wolf spiders are everywhere. The brown recluse are terrifying, but so small. I've also seen bears, elk, moose, etc in other states. We have a lot of different animals around here.
In Georgia we also have Pigmy Rattle Snake. They are small but very dangerous.
7:35 “CaN i PeT tHaT dAwGgG!?!?!”
I didn't even know we had rattlesnakes 🤣 (Michigan). We have coyotes and ticks though. If you want to have some fun, look up the size of a moose, they're much bigger than you think, and listen to the sound an elk makes, it's not what you expect.
Lived in quite a few places and had close run-ins with many of these animals. Rattlers, copperheads (stepped on a baby one in TN), stung by a scorpion in AZ, black widows, brown recluse, and a cottonmouth (swam behind my back in a flat bottomed boat while fishing in TN). Seen several others in the wild from a distance: Moose, wolves, coyotes, and elk to name a few. Drove from Arizona to Alaska for the military, best wildlife trip ever.
I live in Mississippi on the coast. I have seen Bull sharks, Hammerhead Sharks, Great White Sharks, and many others, alligators, black widows, brown recluses, Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnakes, Copperheads, cottonmouths, racers, black bears, and a bobcat LOL
As a child in Florida, I saw that a rattlesnake could be over 6 feet long. My mom’s 3 big brothers taught her to shoot, her last snake she killed was over 6’ in 1969. They are also known to swim in water to relocate, some have been seen in saltwater.
Each of the states has several of these animals. West Virginia has the bobcat, black bear, copperhead, rattlesnake, black widow, brown recluse, coyotes and mountain lions. I’ve only ever actually seen black widows I’ve put them in jars and fed them crickets. I’ve seen bear shit and where they tore up garbage cans and I’ve heard coyotes chasing deer through the woods at night but I’ve never seen them.
Yeah, most of these animals have pretty wide habitats. Utah has basically every single one except the aquatic ones. Well, I guess we do get some of the swimmer snakes too, but they aren't as prevalent as rattlers.
There are venomous snakes in every single state except Maine. I have a Cottonmouth living in my backyard near the creek, a yellow-bellied water snake under my shed, and a rat snake living along the woodline between the creek and my house. Got bunnies, armadillos, and even a few opossoms living in my backyard. I live on 2 acres and my next-door neighbor has 10 acres. She used to have deer on her property, but they all left. And in answer to your question "What are the antlers made of?" They are made of a type of keratin like our fingernails. The antlers are typically shed every winter and are re-grown the following spring. the antlers grow with fur covering them, but by summer the fur has been shed from the antlers. I think they grow at least one new point each year. That's why the more points on a deer antler, the older the deer is.
Every state but
Alaska, Hawaii, Maine, and Rhode Island
The gator crossing the road probably wanted some poodle snacks.
My neighbor had a Rhino
Two elephants a Camel and other exotic animals here in southern Oregon, lucky he was cool and we got to go visit them the Rhino launched a monster truck tire like it was a toy.
