A friend of mine used to have spectacled caimans as pets. Once a young caiman (approx. 90cm long) climbed over a 2 meter high brick wall. Luckily he saw it and was able to quickly catch the caiman again.

I like that even the animals are just as fed up with war as the humans. I also like to think that each animal attack is a friendly reminder that humans don't own the planet, they share it.
Awesome video! This reminds me of the time when I was in the US Army in Germany. It was a time when our generals would call an alert. Alerts were.the Army's way of being ready for war and depending on the length they wanted to go to. First, it was confined quarters, next we'd draw weapons, etc. The next step was to go to the training area next to our Kaserne. This was our luck we were spending two days in the TA, training.They brought chow to us and some the troop thought it was ok to throw down their meat scraps from dinner. Later that night and in fact all all night wild European pigs of various ages and size wove in and out of our perimeter all night long. Often they'd walk by us to get to the food scraps and thankfully we were on armored vehicle so had something to climb up on. Ma! That was a crazy night as we watched them through our night vision equipment. It was first gen so it was big and bulky, so were those pigs where one chased him to our tracked vehicle.
I was in the field in a port-a- John one night, while a whole herd rooted around right outside the door. Everyone else was asleep and I was stuck inside for awhile until they finally left.
It’s wild to think how Ukrainian and Russians are fighting what they called mice( they look like rats to me)right now in the trenches of Ukraine. The video said that there were hundreds of mice.
In all honesty I doubt that story. Wolves are timid when it comes to loud noises and humans. When that comes to the scale of a battlefield there is no way a pack of wolves is doing anything near that area other than fleeing
A cool companion piece to this video could be "unusual animals that have been used in war" such as Hannibal's war elephants or the bear that joined the Polish army
I do personally think that the number could have been that high. I am not an expert, but they Japanese soldiers were there for more than just a few days. The crocs would have had a chance to go for seconds even. I watch swamp hunters with my dad and some of those teams can pull dozens of crocs out of a small area of water. And those are only the crocs that take the bait that the hunters put out. Chicken with a hook in it, that is dead and not moving. Having huge creatures like humans thrashing around in the water would attract the ones that just want an easy meal. Let alone the ones that are starving and looking. And over weeks? Easy to believe the account. And the mention of scattered screams, gunfire and crocs spinning is pretty horrifying if you really think about it. Absolutely terrifying. I would rather face my enemy and get killed in battle than keep marching through the mangroves knowing it could be me next.
I do have a random question. Are there some animals that we should not domesticate because they are important to their local ecosystem? I've been seeing (also adoring ) Prairie dogs, fence foxes, jumping spiders, etc. I heard that there are certain animals that we should not get use to human contact.
The Ramree Island incident could very well have happened. The Japanese were on the island for quite some time, and to survive they hunted animals which the saltwater crocs prey on. Because the Japanese hunted and killed so many animals, the crocs would've became hungry and instead went on hunting for humans (which the saltwater crocodile already does, they see us as prey). But this is only a theory for the many casualties. Because 300-900 casualties from crocs alone? That's insane
During the Vietnam War, American soldiers referred to the many-banded krait as the "two-step snake," in the mistaken belief that its venom was lethal enough to kill within two steps. The many-banded krait gathered worldwide attention after a juvenile individual bit Joe Slowinski on 11 September 2001 in Myanmar.
I always think of the Super wolf pack of WW1 where German and Russian battalions had to for a temporary alliance to defend themselves as previously due to the armies hunting all the game in the area, these Wolves turned to the War casualties in No man's land before attacking any soldiers they saw.
I read “somewhere” “sometime “ ago that the crocodiles of Ramree were not true & further that there were no crocs in that area or were at best a very small number!! ???
There's also cassowaries, during WWII. They look so alien, and sound so foolish, that soldiers didn't take them seriously -- until one kick opened an unwary soldier from throat to groin.
Im surprised you didnt include one of the most famous ones where animals participated in the actual Battle; the Battle of the Bees in WW1. British expeditionary force B was trying to take the town of Tanga in German Tanzania, and during the battle, the British and Indian forces disturbed several large Bee hives in the plantations as they advanced, which disrupted and disorganized their advance, which in turn aided in a German victory RUclipsr potential history did a summary on it a few years back: ruclips.net/video/wKTonL0CwiU/видео.htmlsi=zHciOX2AjFdkXY-O
I think most animals take advantage of human wars by eating the dead. It doesn't happen much in modern times, but when travelling was slow, you couldn't always bring the bodies back. A lot of animals dig up shallow graves.
What about the super pack of wolves killing soldiers enough that both sides called a truce , banded together and killed them and then went back to killing each other . WW1
In WWII wolves started attacking both sides to the extent where there was a temporary ceasefire so they could be dealt with, then the fighting resumed. From what I've read the wolves got overconfident, which was their mistake. I reckon if they played it smarter they could have killed a lot more soldiers before anyone figured out what was happening. The problem for animals is when they start attacking soldiers they become combatants, which makes them legitimate targets under the laws of war. I think some animals living in combat zones tend to learn how to get round the potency of human weapons if they want to attack, they have strategies that work but lack the intelligence to mitigate any comeback fir their attacks. But scientists are saying some species are getting smarter due to two factors, one is basic evolution, the inheritance is the human environment they live in with alm its dangers and opportunities.

It’s scary how quick crocs can move,swim and run on land
yeah certain species are better than others but yes it's quite scary. The Cuban crocodile has a very interesting way of running on land
and how well they can climb. fences. trees. look it up.

You forgot the emus that defeated the Australian Army
true but the emus didn't really do any attacking
There was a point in WW1 where German and Russian troops had to declare a ceasefire and join forces to fight off a large pack of wolves.
i looked into this story but found no credible evidence unfortunately
It’s wild to think how Ukrainian and Russians are fighting what they called mice( they look like rats to me)right now in the trenches of Ukraine. The video said that there were hundreds of mice.
No
I looked into this and I called bullshit, sorry

Kea, & Kākāpō. This is because they're so endangered that domestication could shrink there numbers even more
as long as they remain separate populations there really shouldn't be any issue as all domesticated animals would be captive bred
Prairie dogs can carry the plague.
Would love a video over how back breeding animals might bring species back from extinction like quagga, and auroch
Don't forget the Battle of Tanga where a swarm of bees unironically defeated British Indian Expeditionary forces in Tanzania.
The battle is also known as the "Battle of the Bees" because of that incident.
Never get out of the boat.... absolutely goddamn right....
Could you maybe do the largest animals that ever existed in each continent also great video idea
I’m guessing all of those animals would be Sauropods.
Those crocs really helped the allied forces on that one...you're putting it nicely... those crocs killed sooooo many Japanese soldiers
WOW! Another great video, but I did find this a bit disturbing. Thank you.
The movie Apocalypse Now has a tiger attack scene in it. I wonder if it is based off the real event.

what about Wojtek
He was a very interesting bear but i don't think he actually attacked any soldiers on the battlefield?
Thanks for doing ramree island
Great video.
They are not as glamorous, but wild mosquitos have likely attacked and killed more soldiers than any other animal.
Hey Tsuki could you make another video about apex predators that don’t hunt humans
I thought Tsuki was going to include the "rock ape" attacks on US Servicemen in Vietnam. They were called rock apes because they threw rocks.
1:08 - Talks about going back in time as if it’s as easy as chewing gum.

Tsuki never fails to explain animals
He has gotta be one of the animal explainers of all time
@@Welsh7133definitely an animal explainer
@@SPQRcat with a great taste in music as well
How the hell hav I never heard of the whitetips sharks?
It's thanks to Mark Felton that I immediately knew of where the last story was headed.
Never leave the boat, man! Never leave the boat!

Very interesting historical video Tsuki !!😲😲🙂👍. War isn’t good for wildlife or people at all😟.

imagine going through so much planning and setup, just to lose it all in a instance thanks to a bunch a bees
Very dark, Tsuki. Yet more negative animal/human interactions caused entirely by the insanity of humans. 😢
Bro didn’t think I’d notice the Tropicana black canna Lilly behind his dog but I saw it
Why you not put "The Great Emu War" On This Video?
The emus never killed anyway in the war as far as I know.
What about the two step snakes
I think most animals take advantage of human wars by eating the dead. It doesn't happen much in modern times, but when travelling was slow, you couldn't always bring the bodies back. A lot of animals dig up shallow graves.
Canadian artic rangers are issued a high powered rifle. This isn't for killing invaders, but to defend themselves from polar bears.
Siberian tiger that stocked the hunter. I forgot the name of the story, read a book about it years ago.
Ramree Island
Part 2 please
I think the Indianapolis was to bad to be happenstance
so can you do a vid about notable animals to have participated in wars
Emu: AHAHA I FOUGHT IN A WAR
Can you pls make a video about invasive species in the Marshall Island 🇲🇭🏝plss❤❤
Man gets ate by crocodile while running from other men.
"The crocodile fought back."
