The narrator is dead wrong about the great white shark. The BULL SHARK is far more aggressive and far more dangerous and can be found in salt water and fresh water. BULL SHARKS have been spotted 600 miles inland up the Mississippi River clear up to Ohio
Well the bull shark is definitely far more aggressive and more likely to attack I’d still say the great white attack is way worse for ppl which is maybe why it’s on list instead.
Yes, you're so right! I've also seen it somewhere said that most shark attacks in America happen in Florida and are actually usually attributed to bull sharks.
There have been many instances of bull sharks as far north in the Hudson as Fort Edward, but they get to the Port of Albany regularly. About 250 miles from the delta.
The narrator says that "the only place the Buffalo has lived since prehistoric times is Yellowstone Park" .... I can't even begin to describe how incorrect that statement is...
He’s totally incorrect about Yellowstone being the only place American Bison have lived since prehistoric times. Their historic range covered most of the United States and extended into Canada and northern Mexico.
yeah, he is right about specifically the bison living in yellowstone having been there for a long time, but as a species they did used to cover a very significant portion of the US.
Haha yes, this guy must've just been skimming Wikipedia or something when making this video. The Yellowstone ecosystem is the only place in the US that has continuously contained Bison throughout history. This is because market hunting in the 1800s nearly caused them to go extinct. But yes, they were in a majority or the middle of the country for thousands of years prior to that, and are present in many other states again now.
Scorpions are some of the easiest invertebrates to handle and are arguably better pets than even tarantulas are. Also the baby animals injecting more venom is bullshit and has been proven wrong. I could’ve done a better list than this.
How to tell the difference between a black bear and a grizzly bear, climb a tree. Black bears will climb up after you, the grizzly will just knock the tree down.
The Answer to Your Cougar Question is NO. They are still Wild Animals and if They think or want to become the Alpha and Challenge You, They will and You won't be able to do anything about it. My Uncle had one here in Missouri that His Children got at an Auction and they raised it in the House but moved it outside into an Enclosure once it started Hissing at them, but it loved playing with their German Shepherd. And they need to Remove the Great White Shark off the list and Replace it with the Bull Shark, they are more Aggressive and they can swim in Fresh and Salt Water, some have been found up the Mississippi River into the Great Lakes and are said to be the Actual Inspiration for the Movie Jaws.
@rx7dude2006 My only issue with domestication of big cats is that an adult cougar raised from birth can be as playful as a housecat, but it doesn't know its own strength. A couple who owned a private petting zoo lost a child when one of their big cats accidentally mauled their young son, the cat was just being playful with its human family member, like he would another cat sibling.
There have NEVER been any Bull Sharks in the Great Lakes. It's way too cold for them. If you don't believe me, ask the Shedd Aquarium. If someone released a Bull Shark into the Great Lakes, it's life span would only have been hours. The only way for them to get to the Great Lakes by themselves would be the St. Lawrence Seaway, and the Atlantic is too cold for them to get that far north.
@HemlockRidge you're absolutely right. Over the years there have been reports of fin sittings, but large lake sturgeon are what have been mistaken for bull sharks in the great lakes. Besides the cold, the lakes locks system would keep any adventurous bull shark from entering the lakes.
Muscle spasms is underselling it. The real scariest Black Widow fact, to me, is the bite can cause muscle spasms so intense, it can tear tendons and break smaller bones.
Born and raised in northern Maine, and spent much of my childhood from 13-20 on ATV's and snowmobiles. We used to have so much fun taking the snowmobile trails in the summer because they went through swamps and beaver dams and bogs, and over streams and ponds, etc... naturally, these trails that are not used in the summer, and go through miles of black mud holes and swamps, are where moose love to be. I've seen dozens in the summer, and they seemed surprised so I usually stopped and waited, and if they were too close for me to turn around and speed away, I turned off my ATV to cut the noise and not scare them. I would just talk to them and say hello and sent the most positive energy I could, holding out food in my palm and asking them if they wanted some trail mix or candy. I've had one come and lick peanut M&M's out of my hand and it started sniffing my Red Bull so I held it up and gestured for it to open his mouth and poured a little in. It started smacking it mouth and looked me like "WTF is that sour bitter junk!?!?'', and walked away disappointed. For years after that, once or twice a summer I would take that long deep woods trail, and every time it heard me coming, it was waiting in the same spot next to a beaver dam. I could recognize it because it had a distinct scar in it's face from either a tree or a fight, but it always know it was me, even before I took my helmet off. After the second encounter, it seemed to love raisins, so the next year, I bought the biggest bag of raisins I could find on Amazon and took it with me. Sure as shit, there he was again. waiting. I did the usual routine, except this time I got off my ATV and pulled out the giant bag of raisins. I cut it open and dumped all of it around a tree stump a few feet off the trail. I just said, ''You like these, here come eat, they are for you!'' and pointed. He walked over and started eating them and he did that happy grunt they like to do, and lifted his head up and down to look at me and thank me. I did that for a couple years after, until one year, he wasn't there. He must have died or was killed because I never saw him again. :( However, in the fall of the year and early winter, that happy friendly bull moose would have most likely charged me and tried to kill me. When their rutting seasons starts, all bets are off. They will try to kill anything that enters their turf. I've been chased 4-5 times by bulls, and all of them were during rutting season, and thank fuck I had a Grizzly 600 and a Banshee 350, so if I did see one, it could not keep up. Same with a snowmobile. I had a SRX 700 and and F-6, and there was no chance in hell they were getting me.
Pit bull terriers are also banned in many places in America. A lot of the problem, even with well trained dogs, is if they get out of their yards and away from their owners they can see any person who isn’t their owners as a threat. It does happen.
had a pitbull that would roam our streets and everyone loved him. Was not aggressive at all. That statement is nonsense. Its about how the owners treat them.
I live in Texas. I hear coyote often at night but have only seen them during the day once. I don’t let my pets out in the yard without being supervised. When visiting Alaska National Park, I was given only one warning - don’t approach or go near a moose.
Animals left off the list: Brown Recluse Spiders, Rattlesnakes (11 species, 83 subspecies). At my Parents house I have woken up to both bears and cougars (mountain lion) looking at me through my window. The family dog (a 170lb/ 77kg Great Pyrenees) pissed off a 38 inch (1 m) Diamondback once while I was clearing brush from the retaining wall . The snake reared up to strike and I lopped off its head with my shovel. My Sister had a friend visiting from NY and we had rattlesnake for dinner that night. I gave her the rattle.
Pretty sure rattlesnakes do kill more people than coral snakes. But as soon as he mentioned people being "bitten" by scorpions I figured I'd have to not take this list very seriously.
Great reaction!!! I spend a fair amount of time in the woods fishing here in Western N. Carolina and have seen elk, bears, coyotes. If you try to keep your distance they usually are not aggressive. However, if you get between a mama bear and her cubs you are going to have a bad day and I mean a bad day! Nature here in the US is beautiful. Give respect, get respect!
My dumb ass went up to a bull elk in rut at Prairie Creek wanting to get a pitcher. The elk started stomping at the ground and pissing on itself. I froze and started to slowly walk away.
They left out the bullshark which can swim in fresh water, they have found bull sharks as far up north as Ohio because of our river systems. That's like just above the half way mark of the middle of the U.S I'm pretty sure they have had them in Illinois rivers but I could be wrong.
Bullsharks have been caught way up the Mississippi. That's not counting the ones that weren't caught. I don't remember how far up they were spotted, but it's somewhere between Iowa and Illinois.
If you do go to the southern states that are desert always remember to knock your shoes out before putting them on because sometimes the scorpions decide to take shelter in them
I have two dogs that are part pit and they are nice. One is an adult and the other is a puppy, the adult is more chill while the puppy is more energetic
@@lovey980it’s because the big cats have terrifying agility, speed and can ambush you but with bears you can see them before they see you meanwhile it’s the other way round with cats
Old Coral snake saying. "Red on yell, kill a fellow. Red on white, you'll be alright" The red on white talks about the non venomous milksnake, which people get confused because of very similar patterns.
@@tammierandall864 you’re talking to a person that has seen coral snakes that look like a coral snake but to a person that thinks this rhyme works would get bit and end up going to the hospital. In the United States but also in Central and South America but Asia!
@@josharvin6239grew up and lived in Arizona most of my life. We had King snakes that had the red, black and yellow rings like a Coral snake how we knew which was good if the red ring was touching the black ring it was the King Snake and we wanted them around because they ate rattle snakes. If a red ring touching a yellow or pale yellow ring it was a Coral snake. When I was a kid my sister's and friend found a King Snake. It was a beautiful snake. Most of the time we found different types of Rattlesnakes. I know sometimes the rings don't completely connect.( Going completely around the body) Such as under the belly might be completely pale down the length of it's belly
A bear ran out in front of me one time while driving. It was booking it across the road. Pitbulls breeding throughout the centuries is what can make them a dangerous breed. They were bred to attack. It’s why they are so muscular. The wild instinct is still there and more prevalent than most domesticated dogs.
Another great rection guys. If you get bit by a coral snake, and you can't get to a hospital quickly, it will definitely kill you. They are in the same family as cobras.
I think the reason is that the only people who interact with polar bears understand how to do so. So many people vacation in areas with grizzlies, black bears, and mountain lions that have no clue how to behave around wildlife. Polar bears are a greater threat, but probably almost never cause human casualties, which is not true with the other critters on this list. Not defending the video too much though lol because it does suck.
I would say that youre more likely to encounter a Bull Shark here in the states. They are salt and fresh water sharks, that I think are a lot more aggressive than great whites, and here in Texas will swim closer to shore.
I used to live next to a couple that had two children, and the grandmother lived there as well. They raised their pitbull from a puppy, and it was one of friendliest dogs ever. Very loved by everyone. But one day it snapped and killed one child, the grandmother, and the other child is left with horrible scars. Their vet said with pitbulls that happens sometimes, its in their breeding. Super sad.
Especially here in Texas but if you find yourself lost and without food you can survive on the rattlesnake and scorpion amongst other deadly critters ect...
I wish I could say the marine corps taught me but it was my grandpa when I'd go spend summers with him that if I ever got lost in the wilderness he taught me how to survive at all costs even eating scorpions and rattlesnake and even armadillo and yes even grunbs that taste like the nastiest thing on earth but full of protein I'm not saying to go out eat for the fun of it but If you want to starve to death they are the only options you have my friend 👍
A friend in my Boy Scout troop (Arizona) was hiking with his family and got bit by a rattlesnake. They had to fly him out in a helicopter and give him anti-venom because the venom of that snake was coagulating the blood around the bite mark and killing healthy flesh around it from lack of blood flow. He couldnt walk without a crutch for 8 months and had to do a lot of physical therapy to regain mobility. Happened less than 5 miles from my house
Florida is amazing because it's like living in a jungle state with dinosaurs walking around. You guys would love it down here. I would avoid the big cities and tourist spots like Orlando Tampa and Miami. Traffic and people suck. Lots of activities to do in nature and go out and explore!
I got bit by a widow 4 times this spring and the doctor thought he may have to amputate due to the infection, happened while I was sleeping but 3 days and I had to go too the emergency room.
Grizzly being that low on the list and being behind even a black widow is wild to me...people really hear rumors of black widows and run wild when a bite from them is not even fatal actually
i live in northern Idaho, I once walked out of my house heading to work and found a moose and two babies eating cherries off my tree. I called into work and said I'm not leaving until they're gone. Moose are huge and mess you up and will total a car.
Several years ago near my home a man had a lion he had raised from a cub. It attacked him one day without provocation and killed him. He had raised it for several years and hadn't had any problems before. So, no wild animals can't be completely domesticated.
Yea I think there are a lot of stories of that happening with animals like cougars or leopards. I see RUclips videos of people keeping animals like that and I'm like "why?"
I live around a bunch of cougars. They are fine. The one i worry about is the Tarantula Hawk. You dont not wanna get stung. Had one in my van yesterday. I ran. They are huge!
The Scarlet King snake looks almost identical to the Coral snake. But, the stripes are arranged differently. If you run into either of these in the wild there's a rhyme that helps you to know what snake you're looking at...The rhyme goes, 'red touching black, safe for Jack. Red touching yellow, kill a fellow'.
We have bison in the middle of San Francisco! If you go to Golden Gate Park on the west side of the city, there's a "Bison Paddock", a fenced off area with several bison inside that you can look at. I highly recommend visiting Golden Gate Park and going inside of the California Academy of Sciences, which is a combination zoo and science museum. 🙂
I've lived in West Virginia my whole life, which is a state that is loaded with black bears. I'll be 44 next month, and I've only seen a bear, in the wild, one time.
The worst one I remember is a 11 year old boy got ripped to shreds by 3 pitbulls the child was running home and one seen him and Tor through the screen door and the rest is history
I live where there are a lot of black bears. A mama and her two cubs spent half a day in a tree on the border of my yard. I've only come close to one while hiking once. I just stood still and it lumbered off into the woods. They are very intelligent and playful. Every year there are photos or videos of them playing with children's backyard swings and slides and lounging in plastic kiddie pools.
pitbulls and dogs in general are more dangerous than any other animal in america, not just because of bad owners. dogs are basically just partially-tame wolves. they ALWAYS have that killer instinct, and there is no breeding it out of them
coyotes are smaller version of a wolf. I have heard of dogs killing coyotes. I have seen coyotes, in the city suburbs of my city, in the east U.S. It always comes down to the size of the animal, and whether it thinks your weak looking to take down. A wolf is much more dangerous than a single coyote.
I agree and think anyone’s crazy to take the chance that it won’t revert back to its natural instincts as a predator at any time. I also think the person who keeps a wild animal does not have the animal’s best interest in mind.
I had a pit bull that I totally trusted around my kids because I trained him to protect the babies….I also am a disabled vet and if I fell down or was feeling bad he would go get help and was never trained for that..he was just my baby boy..he was the runt of the litter and no one a stranger unless you came into my house at night and he didn’t recognize your sent or your voice…then you were fair game unless I came out and told him you were one of the kids.
Throughout most of the southeastern U.S., any body of water may have an alligator in residence. A pond, lake, slow river, etc. They're not aggressive, except in defense or running out onto the shore after a small animal. Small dogs are often lost that way by careless people walking them along the shore. Alligators will not climb into your boat or chase you it you're not teasing them. Coyotes are inoffensive and afraid of humans who often hunt them as vermin. They are rather small animals, smaller than many dogs. They are very adaptable and have readily adjusted to living in cities, and almost every large city has a population in residence. They often come around houses at night to prey on domestic cats. You can hear them singing many nights, and you can exchange cries with them.
I drive an 18-wheeler and knew a driver that told of an incident with a moose. He was driving in Michigan's Upper Peninsula on a rural road, when he came across a bull moose standing in the middle of the road. He stopped and put on his hazard lights and was waiting for the moose to move when another truck started to go around him. The first driver tried to call the passing driver over the CB radio to not use his airhorn, but it was too late. The airhorn sounds a lot like a moose's mating call, and it was during mating season. Moose are, like most deer species, rather territorial. The next thing he saw was the moose attacking the second truck, destroying the whole front end of the truck to the point that it had to be towed away after.
The bull shark is far more dangerous… I agree about the pit bull… my pit bull lived to 16 yrs, raised lots of kittens. He loved cats and was the best dog I ever had.
I live in the great smoky mountains national park in gatlinburg, Tennessee. We have a cabin cleaning, staining, ect business and we go inside to clean and come out and a black bear will be in the bed of our truck going thru the trash. Way too many times to count. All you have to do is aggressively approach it and yell at it and it will jump out the truck and run. I've had a few get out the truck and turn look at me and stand up and be around 6 feet tall but you just stand on the side of truck bed and he will drop on all 4s and run. Make your self loud and big they don't want any problems just food. And of course people will act like I have no idea what I'm talking about but I live around them and run into them more time than I can count and never been attacked. Just like the people saying pitbull will just attack there family no matter how you raise them when that is absolutely ridiculous they will not hurt anyone if you raise them correctly I have 6 at this moment and have probly had around 25 of them in my life as a kid to adult never been even growled at nor has my kids. Just people spreading disinformation cause there scared or heard someone say it.
Les Stroud is a Canadian survival expert who has or had a TV show called "Survivorman", anyway, he said the Animal that he feared the most in North America was the Moose. Said he'd rather run across a grizzly.
Moose are very dangerous during the rut and will attack even if not provoked...the rest of the year they are more likely to kill someone in an auto accident.
Lock jaw isn't a real thing in dogs. It was a term used because the jaw strength was so strong that it was difficult to open if bitten, so people thought the jaws locked.
"I'm getting a bit hungry," Fatima says after watching the mating ritual of the female black widow! All while staring directly at Yass! 😂 I cried laughing! Good one!
Sorry but black bears can be ANYWHERE not just national parks. You can generally scare them away by making a lot of noise and appear bigger than it is.
I'm born and raised in Arizona we have a lot of scorpions. Theu taste like peanuts if you roast them over a fire. And rattlesnake is real yummy too, make little deep fried snake nuggets wrapped in bacon with a jalapeno ranch dipping sauce mmmm mmmm
The Cougar's natural habitat is at late night clubs and bars. I've had multiple encounters and they will sometimes literally hold you down for up to an hour at a time not allowing you to escape until sunrise. The married Cougars seem to be the worst.
Dogs, as a species, have been domesticated for 30,000 years, their instinct's are pro-human. Not to say that you can't train one to be vicious, or one can be insane. BUT... Mountain Lions (Cougars) have never been domesticated as a species. If you raise one from a kitten, I'm sure it can be "tame", but the killer instinct is still there. I'm quite sure that Siegfried & Roy loved their "tame" tigers.
You should hear a cougar in heat looking for action at three in the morning. Sounds like someone in the dark woods being tortured with a flamethrower. The Aztec Death Whistle comes close to the sound. Cops have been called out before and ran from the sound, like “NOPE!” I have a friend that owns an enormous female pit bull, and she’s the sweetest thing, been raised right. She forgets she’s not a puppy anymore and tries to climb her 90 lbs into your lap, and it’s like NO! Sorry girl, too heavy! Then she pouts and I have to give her a good back scratching to smooth things over. Second quickest way to a dog’s heart besides feeding the stomach, back scratches.
The Black Bear is pretty common. DON'T leave any food laying around your campsite! Lock it up in your vehicle or bring a pulley and some sturdy rope. Put your food in a heavy duty box and tie it up in a tree higher than they can reach. But...keep in mind Black Bears can climb trees, Grizzlys can't. When I was living in Juneau Alaska they were always roaming around the town at night looking for a garbage can that some idiot forgot to put in the big wooden bins that everybody is required to have. WITH big metal padlocks! One night I was walking home to my apartment from one of the bars downtown and there was one walking straight at me coming the other way. It's a tiny town, at that time of night it's really quiet because most people have already gone home. I just nodded at him and told him "good evening sir, I'll just move to the other side of the street and let you go on your way!" He just watched me cross the street and we both continued on about our own business. LOL
You cannot imagine the size of a moose! I live in NH and one walked by my car. was literally sitting in my car and looking up a a bull moose's belly. How they walk thru the woods with those antlers I will never know
I got Some Doubts about this list, Especially adding the Pitbull at the end. Being raised in Florida the Coral snake is one of the most poisonous snakes but for it to actually bite you is another story. Unlike a rattle snake that has large sharp fangs the coral snake fangs can be so small they may not penitrate the skin first go. They actually have have to latch on and drive thier fangs down in you (if they can). The talk about the great white but the Bull Shark is the most aggressive shark in our water and know for more attacks then the great white
The gray wolf and the rattlesnake aren't on this list either. The rattlesnake does have the courtesy to warn you before it attacks, that's what it's rattle is for.
I am always cautious around Pitties that I don’t know (bc I don’t know how they were raised). However, my brother in law has two of the best pit bulls I’ve ever seen. If I knew I could have one like he does, I’d get it in a heart beat. But I am not the best dog trainer, so I stick with the silly golden doodles.
My pittie was attacked by a golden retriever. She needed almost 30 stitches. When the dog came after her she rolled on her back and the golden attacked her. She went to the vet needing 30 abdominal stitches and when I brought her home I went to the ER needing almost 50 stitches in my hands and forearms trying to protect my dog. I also needed painful rabies shots for weeks because the dog was never found.
Cougars have 4 regional names that I know of: mtn. lion, catamount, cougar, and panther. I've seen a guy in Alaska on a TV program who raised a wolverine from a cub, as well as people who've done the same with grizzlies--either as a pet, or for Hollywood, and they're like part of the family. However, the bison tossing a stupid tourist is proof positive that the national parks aren't zoos--no bars, not tame animals. If you stay in places with tons of people, like Yosemite Valley and Yellowstone's Old Faithful geyser, you'd be totally safe. Then, if in the back country, making noise so as not to startle them will usually keep a person safe. I've lived in the Midwest of the US all my life, and I've never even SEEN a black widow, and I'm going on 77. The man with his head in an alligator's mouth was most likely part of a show for tourists in FL on the Seminole Reservation.
They don't mention deer. They account for about 440 of the approximately 460 deaths per year. Traffic collisions with deer are fairly common and cause the vast majority of deaths in connection with wildlife

Bears run away from moose lol 😂 and it can kick in all directions
Yep. Can confirm irl
So can camels 😎
I used to live in Alaska. I was chased by a moose on 2 different occasions. Scary as hell having 1800lbs of moose running at you.
@jeromeinseattle nice, I had a chance to have moose pot roast while I was up there, it was delicious.
Lived in Anchorage for 7 years. Moose

We used to have so much fun taking the snowmobile trails in the summer because they went through swamps and beaver dams and bogs, and over streams and ponds, etc... naturally, these trails that are not used in the summer, and go through miles of black mud holes and swamps, are where moose love to be.

I would just talk to them and say hello and sent the most positive energy I could, holding out food in my palm and asking them if they wanted some trail mix or candy. I've had one come and lick peanut M&M's out of my hand and it started sniffing my Red Bull so I held it up and gestured for it to open his mouth and poured a little in. It started smacking it mouth and looked me like "WTF is that sour bitter junk!?!?'', and walked away disappointed. For years after that, once or twice a summer I would take that long deep woods trail, and every time it heard me coming, it was waiting in the same spot next to a beaver dam. I could recognize it because it had a distinct scar in it's face from either a tree or a fight, but it always know it was me, even before I took my helmet off. After the second encounter, it seemed to love raisins, so the next year, I bought the biggest bag of raisins I could find on Amazon and took it with me. Sure as shit, there he was again. waiting. I did the usual routine, except this time I got off my ATV and pulled out the giant bag of raisins. I cut it open and dumped all of it around a tree stump a few feet off the trail. I just said, ''You like these, here come eat, they are for you!'' and pointed. He walked over and started eating them and he did that happy grunt they like to do, and lifted his head up and down to look at me and thank me. I did that for a couple years after, until one year, he wasn't there. He must have died or was killed because I never saw him again. :( However, in the fall of the year and early winter, that happy friendly bull moose would have most likely charged me and tried to kill me. When their rutting seasons starts, all bets are off. They will try to kill anything that enters their turf. I've been chased 4-5 times by bulls, and all of them were during rutting season, and thank fuck I had a Grizzly 600 and a Banshee 350, so if I did see one, it could not keep up. Same with a snowmobile. I had a SRX 700 and and F-6, and there was no chance in hell they were getting me.
Had an elk in Michigan!! To the truck, ASAP no more hunting of anything
😅
Interesting they have the same body count as hippos .
Pit bull terriers are also banned in many places in America. A lot of the problem, even with well trained dogs, is if they get out of their yards and away from their owners they can see any person who isn’t their owners as a threat. It does happen.
had a pitbull that would roam our streets and everyone loved him. Was not aggressive at all. That statement is nonsense. Its about how the owners treat them.
I live in Texas. I hear coyote often at night but have only seen them during the day once. I don’t let my pets out in the yard without being supervised. When visiting Alaska National Park, I was given only one warning - don’t approach or go near a moose.
I’m in Pennsylvania, and often hear coyotes. Also have seen one once during the day. They don’t seem to bother anyone around here.
Animals left off the list: Brown Recluse Spiders, Rattlesnakes (11 species, 83 subspecies). At my Parents house I have woken up to both bears and cougars (mountain lion) looking at me through my window. The family dog (a 170lb/ 77kg Great Pyrenees) pissed off a 38 inch (1 m) Diamondback once while I was clearing brush from the retaining wall . The snake reared up to strike and I lopped off its head with my shovel. My Sister had a friend visiting from NY and we had rattlesnake for dinner that night. I gave her the rattle.
wolverine...Badger ...Wolf...water Moccasin
Pretty sure rattlesnakes do kill more people than coral snakes. But as soon as he mentioned people being "bitten" by scorpions I figured I'd have to not take this list very seriously.
" It won't kill you..." unless it does.
There is a video from Utah of a cougar following a guy on a hiking trail. Worth checking out.
National Parks have scenic drives so you can see the wildlife without getting out of the safety of your vehicle.
Mt Lion last week in a backyard in town.
People never look UP.
Great reaction!!! I spend a fair amount of time in the woods fishing here in Western N. Carolina and have seen elk, bears, coyotes. If you try to keep your distance they usually are not aggressive. However, if you get between a mama bear and her cubs you are going to have a bad day and I mean a bad day! Nature here in the US is beautiful. Give respect, get respect!
My dumb ass went up to a bull elk in rut at Prairie Creek wanting to get a pitcher. The elk started stomping at the ground and pissing on itself. I froze and started to slowly walk away.
They left out the bullshark which can swim in fresh water, they have found bull sharks as far up north as Ohio because of our river systems. That's like just above the half way mark of the middle of the U.S I'm pretty sure they have had them in Illinois rivers but I could be wrong.
Bullsharks have been caught way up the Mississippi. That's not counting the ones that weren't caught. I don't remember how far up they were spotted, but it's somewhere between Iowa and Illinois.
They found some up here in Lake Michigan too
@@ValianceXx Different species. Those are the Northern Illinois Mudshark. They are quite deadly as well.
If you do go to the southern states that are desert always remember to knock your shoes out before putting them on because sometimes the scorpions decide to take shelter in them
I had a Pitbull. She was the sweetest, most loving dog, ever!
Yea my pitbull named ocean is the most loving and calm dog ever
I have two dogs that are part pit and they are nice. One is an adult and the other is a puppy, the adult is more chill while the puppy is more energetic
Brits seem terrified of bears. But mountain lions are much more dangerous IMHO.
I’d crap myself either way. But the big cats are way scarier for me. I’ve seen a handful of bears(from my car thankfully), but never a big cat.
@@lovey980it’s because the big cats have terrifying agility, speed and can ambush you but with bears you can see them before they see you meanwhile it’s the other way round with cats
to be fair, it's really quite rare for people to die from a cougar or bear in the US.
Nah grizzly bears are scarier imo bcuz they can run faster than a human
@@kylefam9356 True, grizzlies are the worst. But a cougar can run faster than a human and they're found in more states than grizzlies.
Old Coral snake saying. "Red on yell, kill a fellow. Red on white, you'll be alright" The red on white talks about the non venomous milksnake, which people get confused because of very similar patterns.
One thing about the saying is also coral snakes can also be found with aberrant patterns and colors. 1:07
Red on black venom lack. It has three colors. Red, black, yellow. Now the yellow might be lighter on the belly area so it looks almost white.
@@tammierandall864 you’re talking to a person that has seen coral snakes that look like a coral snake but to a person that thinks this rhyme works would get bit and end up going to the hospital. In the United States but also in Central and South America but Asia!
@@josharvin6239grew up and lived in Arizona most of my life. We had King snakes that had the red, black and yellow rings like a Coral snake how we knew which was good if the red ring was touching the black ring it was the King Snake and we wanted them around because they ate rattle snakes. If a red ring touching a yellow or pale yellow ring it was a Coral snake. When I was a kid my sister's and friend found a King Snake. It was a beautiful snake. Most of the time we found different types of Rattlesnakes. I know sometimes the rings don't completely connect.( Going completely around the body) Such as under the belly might be completely pale down the length of it's belly
The rhymes might be different in other parts of the world depending on what types of Coral Snakes and their connecting patterns.
A bear ran out in front of me one time while driving. It was booking it across the road. Pitbulls breeding throughout the centuries is what can make them a dangerous breed. They were bred to attack. It’s why they are so muscular. The wild instinct is still there and more prevalent than most domesticated dogs.
Its Really NOT That BAD...YOU STAY OUT OF THEIR Territory And Out of Their Business
And YOU'LL BE FINE
-🇺🇲🦅
Another great rection guys. If you get bit by a coral snake, and you can't get to a hospital quickly, it will definitely kill you. They are in the same family as cobras.
Polar Bears should've been on that list too.
Also politicians.
@@ralphpeed3596 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Seriously. Especially since they actually will hunt humans.
Wolves too
polar bears reside in other countries other then the U.S.A. so that is why it is not on the list.
Trips me out they have the black bear on this but not the polar bear.
You're dead if you're close to a polar bear for sure!!
@@user-fr2kx7im7nthe only animal that actively hunts humans
Are there polar bears in Alaska?
@@georgesimon1760 yea, thousands. Up north in the arctic circle.
I think the reason is that the only people who interact with polar bears understand how to do so. So many people vacation in areas with grizzlies, black bears, and mountain lions that have no clue how to behave around wildlife. Polar bears are a greater threat, but probably almost never cause human casualties, which is not true with the other critters on this list. Not defending the video too much though lol because it does suck.
I would say that youre more likely to encounter a Bull Shark here in the states. They are salt and fresh water sharks, that I think are a lot more aggressive than great whites, and here in Texas will swim closer to shore.
I used to live next to a couple that had two children, and the grandmother lived there as well. They raised their pitbull from a puppy, and it was one of friendliest dogs ever. Very loved by everyone. But one day it snapped and killed one child, the grandmother, and the other child is left with horrible scars.
Their vet said with pitbulls that happens sometimes, its in their breeding. Super sad.
You've never experienced the firsthand aftermath of a pitbull attack on a child and it shows.
Especially here in Texas but if you find yourself lost and without food you can survive on the rattlesnake and scorpion amongst other deadly critters ect...
Youre far better off finding anything else…You can still poison yourself eating those without proper prep.
I wish I could say the marine corps taught me but it was my grandpa when I'd go spend summers with him that if I ever got lost in the wilderness he taught me how to survive at all costs even eating scorpions and rattlesnake and even armadillo and yes even grunbs that taste like the nastiest thing on earth but full of protein I'm not saying to go out eat for the fun of it but If you want to starve to death they are the only options you have my friend 👍
But your right brad first thing my grandpa taught me was preparation I'll give you that 👍
Wild animals are always wild. Just because they don't attack you today or tomorrow doesn't mean they won't attack you.
A friend in my Boy Scout troop (Arizona) was hiking with his family and got bit by a rattlesnake. They had to fly him out in a helicopter and give him anti-venom because the venom of that snake was coagulating the blood around the bite mark and killing healthy flesh around it from lack of blood flow. He couldnt walk without a crutch for 8 months and had to do a lot of physical therapy to regain mobility. Happened less than 5 miles from my house
Florida is amazing because it's like living in a jungle state with dinosaurs walking around. You guys would love it down here. I would avoid the big cities and tourist spots like Orlando Tampa and Miami. Traffic and people suck. Lots of activities to do in nature and go out and explore!
Agreed
I had 2 Cougars or mountain lion we call them as pets. Just a big kitty. Both died of old age.
I got bit by a widow 4 times this spring and the doctor thought he may have to amputate due to the infection, happened while I was sleeping but 3 days and I had to go too the emergency room.
Black bear: play big and scary
Grizzly bear: play dead
Polar bear: kiss your butt goodbye
Grizzly being that low on the list and being behind even a black widow is wild to me...people really hear rumors of black widows and run wild when a bite from them is not even fatal actually
Yea I was wondering if that list wasn't in any particular order? Cuz yea, grizzlies are way worse than any spider.
Police had to deal with a puma trapped in a tree in a public park last year ;-)
Did that a couple days ago in someone's back yard in Idaho
“If it’s black, fight back. If it’s brown, lie down. If it’s white, say good night.”
The rules when encountering bears
i live in northern Idaho, I once walked out of my house heading to work and found a moose and two babies eating cherries off my tree. I called into work and said I'm not leaving until they're gone. Moose are huge and mess you up and will total a car.
cant tame a cougar no fn way
Several years ago near my home a man had a lion he had raised from a cub. It attacked him one day without provocation and killed him. He had raised it for several years and hadn't had any problems before. So, no wild animals can't be completely domesticated.
Yea I think there are a lot of stories of that happening with animals like cougars or leopards. I see RUclips videos of people keeping animals like that and I'm like "why?"
I live around a bunch of cougars. They are fine. The one i worry about is the Tarantula Hawk. You dont not wanna get stung. Had one in my van yesterday. I ran. They are huge!
The Scarlet King snake looks almost identical to the Coral snake. But, the stripes are arranged differently. If you run into either of these in the wild there's a rhyme that helps you to know what snake you're looking at...The rhyme goes, 'red touching black, safe for Jack. Red touching yellow, kill a fellow'.
We have bison in the middle of San Francisco! If you go to Golden Gate Park on the west side of the city, there's a "Bison Paddock", a fenced off area with several bison inside that you can look at. I highly recommend visiting Golden Gate Park and going inside of the California Academy of Sciences, which is a combination zoo and science museum. 🙂
I've lived in West Virginia my whole life, which is a state that is loaded with black bears. I'll be 44 next month, and I've only seen a bear, in the wild, one time.
The moose is the most dangerous animal in North America and is second only to the hippo in human attacks.
The worst one I remember is a 11 year old boy got ripped to shreds by 3 pitbulls the child was running home and one seen him and Tor through the screen door and the rest is history
I live where there are a lot of black bears. A mama and her two cubs spent half a day in a tree on the border of my yard. I've only come close to one while hiking once. I just stood still and it lumbered off into the woods. They are very intelligent and playful. Every year there are photos or videos of them playing with children's backyard swings and slides and lounging in plastic kiddie pools.
pitbulls and dogs in general are more dangerous than any other animal in america, not just because of bad owners. dogs are basically just partially-tame wolves. they ALWAYS have that killer instinct, and there is no breeding it out of them
coyotes are smaller version of a wolf. I have heard of dogs killing coyotes. I have seen coyotes, in the city suburbs of my city, in the east U.S. It always comes down to the size of the animal, and whether it thinks your weak looking to take down. A wolf is much more dangerous than a single coyote.
When wolves are in our area the coyotes get silent for ther safety
wolves rarely attack humans they sty away from humans
We have Moose in all the norther states also. Like Minnesota, Wisconsin, North and South Dakota.
Missing animals: wolves, coyotes, badgers, brown recluse spider, Florida panther & snapping turtles.
Wild hogs
A wild animal is just that, wild. Even if you raise it from a baby, its natural instincts will eventually take over.
I agree and think anyone’s crazy to take the chance that it won’t revert back to its natural instincts as a predator at any time. I also think the person who keeps a wild animal does not have the animal’s best interest in mind.
I had a pit bull that I totally trusted around my kids because I trained him to protect the babies….I also am a disabled vet and if I fell down or was feeling bad he would go get help and was never trained for that..he was just my baby boy..he was the runt of the litter and no one a stranger unless you came into my house at night and he didn’t recognize your sent or your voice…then you were fair game unless I came out and told him you were one of the kids.
Grizzly bears are taller than they said.. and that coral snake is related to the cobra, so very dangerous
We, in Chicago area, sometime get coyotes that wander down here. They will kill small dogs and can be dangerous to children.
Throughout most of the southeastern U.S., any body of water may have an alligator in residence. A pond, lake, slow river, etc. They're not aggressive, except in defense or running out onto the shore after a small animal. Small dogs are often lost that way by careless people walking them along the shore. Alligators will not climb into your boat or chase you it you're not teasing them.
Coyotes are inoffensive and afraid of humans who often hunt them as vermin. They are rather small animals, smaller than many dogs. They are very adaptable and have readily adjusted to living in cities, and almost every large city has a population in residence. They often come around houses at night to prey on domestic cats. You can hear them singing many nights, and you can exchange cries with them.
I drive an 18-wheeler and knew a driver that told of an incident with a moose. He was driving in Michigan's Upper Peninsula on a rural road, when he came across a bull moose standing in the middle of the road. He stopped and put on his hazard lights and was waiting for the moose to move when another truck started to go around him. The first driver tried to call the passing driver over the CB radio to not use his airhorn, but it was too late. The airhorn sounds a lot like a moose's mating call, and it was during mating season. Moose are, like most deer species, rather territorial. The next thing he saw was the moose attacking the second truck, destroying the whole front end of the truck to the point that it had to be towed away after.
Mike Tyson had tigers walking around his house
The bull shark is far more dangerous… I agree about the pit bull… my pit bull lived to 16 yrs, raised lots of kittens. He loved cats and was the best dog I ever had.
I live in the great smoky mountains national park in gatlinburg, Tennessee. We have a cabin cleaning, staining, ect business and we go inside to clean and come out and a black bear will be in the bed of our truck going thru the trash. Way too many times to count. All you have to do is aggressively approach it and yell at it and it will jump out the truck and run. I've had a few get out the truck and turn look at me and stand up and be around 6 feet tall but you just stand on the side of truck bed and he will drop on all 4s and run. Make your self loud and big they don't want any problems just food. And of course people will act like I have no idea what I'm talking about but I live around them and run into them more time than I can count and never been attacked. Just like the people saying pitbull will just attack there family no matter how you raise them when that is absolutely ridiculous they will not hurt anyone if you raise them correctly I have 6 at this moment and have probly had around 25 of them in my life as a kid to adult never been even growled at nor has my kids. Just people spreading disinformation cause there scared or heard someone say it.
Les Stroud is a Canadian survival expert who has or had a TV show called "Survivorman", anyway, he said the Animal that he feared the most in North America was the Moose. Said he'd rather run across a grizzly.
Moose are very dangerous during the rut and will attack even if not provoked...the rest of the year they are more likely to kill someone in an auto accident.
We have lots of moose in Canada. When 1 is standing on the road, don't ever blow your horn at it, it will attack your car.
I know the perfect spot for you to visit on thr Pacific. Blue Whales, Great White, Orcas, Dolphins everything in one location every year!
Lock jaw isn't a real thing in dogs. It was a term used because the jaw strength was so strong that it was difficult to open if bitten, so people thought the jaws locked.
It's not loyalty It's making sure you keep the animal well fed
I had a Pitt Bull and handicapped daughter. She would stand guard over my daughter to protect her
Kodiak Brown bears have been know to stand 14 ft high and Orcas hunt great white sharks
When i was a kid one of our neighbors had a pet cougar. We were told not to go anywhere near it
I grew up in Arizona and that bark scorpion is no joke sting. My uncle got stung once and it put him down for a couple days he was sick af
"I'm getting a bit hungry," Fatima says after watching the mating ritual of the female black widow! All while staring directly at Yass! 😂 I cried laughing! Good one!
The most dangerous animal in the US is deer.Deer-car accidents cause about 175 to 200 fatalities and 10,000 injuries annually.
A saying that could save your life. For bears, "if it's black fight back if it's brown lay down."
Moose don't scare easily and in Alaska they will stare down a train coming right at them.
Sorry but black bears can be ANYWHERE not just national parks. You can generally scare them away by making a lot of noise and appear bigger than it is.
I'm born and raised in Arizona we have a lot of scorpions. Theu taste like peanuts if you roast them over a fire. And rattlesnake is real yummy too, make little deep fried snake nuggets wrapped in bacon with a jalapeno ranch dipping sauce mmmm mmmm
Rule for Coral snakes...red next to yellow kill a fellow, red next to black a friend to jack. There are snakes that are similar in color.
I once was stung in the leg by a scorpion in my bed when i lived in rural Texas. Very painful.
The Cougar's natural habitat is at late night clubs and bars. I've had multiple encounters and they will sometimes literally hold you down for up to an hour at a time not allowing you to escape until sunrise. The married Cougars seem to be the worst.
You guys are doing an outstanding job on RUclips keep up the amazing work my friends 👍
STOP BEING STUPID
Dogs, as a species, have been domesticated for 30,000 years, their instinct's are pro-human. Not to say that you can't train one to be vicious, or one can be insane. BUT... Mountain Lions (Cougars) have never been domesticated as a species. If you raise one from a kitten, I'm sure it can be "tame", but the killer instinct is still there. I'm quite sure that Siegfried & Roy loved their "tame" tigers.
Black bears are easily scared away. Brown bears, play dead & pray.
That’s the saying, black fight back, brown lay down, and white say good night!
You should hear a cougar in heat looking for action at three in the morning. Sounds like someone in the dark woods being tortured with a flamethrower. The Aztec Death Whistle comes close to the sound. Cops have been called out before and ran from the sound, like “NOPE!”
I have a friend that owns an enormous female pit bull, and she’s the sweetest thing, been raised right. She forgets she’s not a puppy anymore and tries to climb her 90 lbs into your lap, and it’s like NO! Sorry girl, too heavy! Then she pouts and I have to give her a good back scratching to smooth things over. Second quickest way to a dog’s heart besides feeding the stomach, back scratches.
The Black Bear is pretty common. DON'T leave any food laying around your campsite! Lock it up in your vehicle or bring a pulley and some sturdy rope. Put your food in a heavy duty box and tie it up in a tree higher than they can reach. But...keep in mind Black Bears can climb trees, Grizzlys can't. When I was living in Juneau Alaska they were always roaming around the town at night looking for a garbage can that some idiot forgot to put in the big wooden bins that everybody is required to have. WITH big metal padlocks! One night I was walking home to my apartment from one of the bars downtown and there was one walking straight at me coming the other way. It's a tiny town, at that time of night it's really quiet because most people have already gone home. I just nodded at him and told him "good evening sir, I'll just move to the other side of the street and let you go on your way!" He just watched me cross the street and we both continued on about our own business. LOL
You cannot imagine the size of a moose! I live in NH and one walked by my car. was literally sitting in my car and looking up a a bull moose's belly. How they walk thru the woods with those antlers I will never know
I got Some Doubts about this list, Especially adding the Pitbull at the end.
Being raised in Florida the Coral snake is one of the most poisonous snakes but for it to actually bite you is another story. Unlike a rattle snake that has large sharp fangs the coral snake fangs can be so small they may not penitrate the skin first go. They actually have have to latch on and drive thier fangs down in you (if they can). The talk about the great white but the Bull Shark is the most aggressive shark in our water and know for more attacks then the great white
The gray wolf and the rattlesnake aren't on this list either. The rattlesnake does have the courtesy to warn you before it attacks, that's what it's rattle is for.
In Denver we get Mt Lions and bears and lynx...sometimes they attack humans
We have black bears here in North Carolina. They have been seen in town on occasion looking for food
I am always cautious around Pitties that I don’t know (bc I don’t know how they were raised). However, my brother in law has two of the best pit bulls I’ve ever seen. If I knew I could have one like he does, I’d get it in a heart beat. But I am not the best dog trainer, so I stick with the silly golden doodles.
My pittie was attacked by a golden retriever. She needed almost 30 stitches. When the dog came after her she rolled on her back and the golden attacked her. She went to the vet needing 30 abdominal stitches and when I brought her home I went to the ER needing almost 50 stitches in my hands and forearms trying to protect my dog. I also needed painful rabies shots for weeks because the dog was never found.
Alligators mainly death rolls (which is what it is called) when they are in the water, not as much on land
Another one is wolves. Wolves live beside cougarts, bears and moose which shows how tough they really are.
Cougars have 4 regional names that I know of: mtn. lion, catamount, cougar, and panther.
I've seen a guy in Alaska on a TV program who raised a wolverine from a cub, as well as people who've done the same with grizzlies--either as a pet, or for Hollywood, and they're like part of the family. However, the bison tossing a stupid tourist is proof positive that the national parks aren't zoos--no bars, not tame animals.
If you stay in places with tons of people, like Yosemite Valley and Yellowstone's Old Faithful geyser, you'd be totally safe. Then, if in the back country, making noise so as not to startle them will usually keep a person safe.
I've lived in the Midwest of the US all my life, and I've never even SEEN a black widow, and I'm going on 77.
The man with his head in an alligator's mouth was most likely part of a show for tourists in FL on the Seminole Reservation.
Where I live in Washington State we have a lot of black bears but only one fatal attack has happened in 50 years
They don't mention deer. They account for about 440 of the approximately 460 deaths per year. Traffic collisions with deer are fairly common and cause the vast majority of deaths in connection with wildlife
America also has wolves, wolverines, many species of venomous snakes, gila monsters, and wildcats.
Born and raised in Alaska, the moose is the most dangerous animal, in the bush... so unpredictable and huge!
