Wild pigs are also on Oahu and the Big Island. They can cause auto accidents at night. Feral goats (usually in the dry regions) can cause auto accidents during the day because like antelope, if one crosses a road, a group might hurry to also cross to catch up because of FOMO. Snails and slugs are very dangerous because their slime-trail can contain a parasite called Rat Lung Disease which affects the brain and spinal cord causing paralysis and even death. Touching the slime trail barefoot is enough to get infected. About 3 to 5 ppl are infected with Rat Lung Disease yearly.
Ive studied the rat lung as a scientist. While it is true, some shedding of tissue material into the slime trail is possible, it is highly unlikely. And it certainly cannot penetrate bare feet unless you have a cut and squish against a snail, breaking it open. If you swallow a whole or part snail/slug however small, you are probably not going to feel very well.
Depending on which island you visit, there are Axis Deer. Some were introduced to the Big Island, years ago. Government Hunters were hired to try and irradicate the deer. I don't know if they were successful.
Tiger sharks on big island east side are noted as mostly friendly and sometimes petted by regulars. Kona and Maui are more dangerous especially Maui but still very low chance. Dusk, dawn, fishermen with bait, alone, cloudy water, schools of fish running, shiny things, shoals/cliffsides, frantic splashing/movements etc are no good
Don't forget Cone Shells, Brown Recluse Spiders, Stone Fish, Lion Fish, Portugues Man Of War Jelly Fish, and the various animals that carry things like Rat Lung Disease and Hemorrhagic Fever, as well as Leptospirosis, carried by catchment water and rat turds.
@@baloog8 Yes. You can find them in sandy areas in between rocks and coral, underwater. Just fan the sand away, especially if you can locate their trails, kind of like someone dragged their finger through the sand to make a shallow mark. Another place is in the rocks thrown up on the beach above the high tide mark. When they die, the putrefied body causes the shell to float to the surface where the big waves throw the shell in between the rocks. If you find one in the water, be careful. I read about a diver that found one and stuck the beautiful shell on his chest under his wetsuit, right above his heart. He died.
Do the cone snails, recluse, and man o war make it as far down as pahoa side?😮 thx Crazy to slowly find out we are headed towards Australian lvls of deadly minus the crocodiles, most spiders, snakes (except sea), we still have boars, sharks, snails, slugs, stonefish, baraccuda, staph, recluse, sting rays (combined with staph/etc), your catchment pathogen mentions, and methed homo sapiens.
@@baloog8 Probably. The biggest danger is lava flows, sometimes following lava tubes and surprising everyone by emerging quickly from underground, like the flow that scared people living around that shallow bay next to Kapoho that recently filled up. Kapoho is, supposedly, now unihabited. Compounded by the fact that that area is geologically described as a "graben" and the name of the town, in Hawaiian, supposedly means "sinking." Hydrogen sulfide gas as well as Laze that is caused by lava flowing into saltwater also compound the hazards. Landslides are a danger, especially the potentially lethal slide from the town of Volcano to Pahala. A huge slide that not only endangers the Island with "splash back tsunamis" but also endangers the west coast of continental USA. Pahoa is not immune to any of these hazards and some day may cause its own tsunami by sliding into the sea.

Great info
Bullshit on bullsharks in hawaii
No Bull Sharks here. Great White’s are rare and seasonal at that

What even is "mistaken Identity" for a shark?
- what are you! Are you a god damn dolphin!!
A seal. You look like a seal. When it’s murky, the sharks cant see well. It’s that easy…

I live in Hawaii 😭😱😱😱😱😨 help some one help
