Its surreal to me how every person on earth is scared shitless of any prefator larger than a dog but are absolutely chill in the face of a meat tank with the malicous intent of a crack wasp because it "eats plants".
Right, carnivores will kill me mainly if they need something to eat. Herbivores just do it because they can Edit: I was talking about actual animals not real life humans goddamn Edit: Stop killing each other in the comments for fucks sake
@@kR-qj7rw I mean. A lone wolf would see a roid-bro as a threat and avoid him, and a rock in the hand of the roid bro would definitely be a lethal threat to a wolf. The wolf still wins 4/5 don't get me wrong, but a lone wolf would be an idiot to take those odds.
Similarly, I am so amused by the fact that sharks, star of more animal attack movie than any other, are statistically speaking, really unlikely to kill you, let alone attack.
My Geology teacher in collage told us all about this one octopus who was stored on the same room as his food. Same room, separate tanks, and it took several days and looking at a security camera to find out that the octopus was getting out of his tank, crawling across the floor, getting into the food tank, taking one fish from the tank, and crawling back to his own tank.
@@josephsalmonte4995 they spelled it very slightly wrong and you criticize them so harshly for it, why? Is it your job to make sure people spell things correctly? No one f___ing cares about that tiny little mistake, everyone makes mistakes. You've likely made thousands of mistakes in your life, in fact you made a grammar mistake in your comment I'm replying to. You said "I see it did you *the* world of good" when the correct phrase would be "I see it did you *a* world of good"
Camels are one of the most underrated animals in the entire planet. the fact that they have so many ways to flatline people yet they're domesticated scares me a lot
I started feeding the birds in the park this summer. At first it was mostly pigeons that got some seeds and stale popcorn, but eventually the daily feast drew crows from the nearby woods. The crows let the pigeons eat the seeds and popcorn, cuz they know they get chicken scraps and sometimes fries when the grey crowd thins out. They haven't started following me home or bring me cool shit, but the crows greet me with caws when I get to the benches and the pidgies gladly sit on my arm and feed from my hand at this point. I'm slowly gaining their trust. Looking forward to being the bird guy in the post-apocalypse
My old man once rescued a baby crow that was tangled in some garden mesh in our yard, took it inside and gave it some water. The whole time the family was perched all around the house closely watching. He let the baby go and to this day the while murder trusts him and some are even bold enough to take steak from his hand and perch on his back when he tends to the garden. It's honestly awesome to see
I always wanted to do something like that with crows until I gain the ultimate trust to the point where I AM apart of the murder. So when I get picked on, my feathery friends can go and peck their eyes out while I stand there laughing manically 😈
I really want him to cover Ants too. They are such brilliant creatures like a collection of mini robots that "past tense" any unfortunate arthropod that finds isteld swarmed. While also having brilliant mechanisms and unique traits to protect the colony from sickness and the enviroment.
The thing about crows is true. I used to feed my lunchboxes to crows when I was in Kindergarten and now almost 20 years later the murder will still follow me. Granted they don't get as close as the first generation and I don't feed them on a regular basis anymore but we're still cool
There was an octopus at an aquarium who didn't like that the shrimp in his dinner had apparently gone bad, so he crawled out of his tank, walked cross a hallway and threw the shrimp at his handlier... So yeah, they are smart and communicate pretty clearly lol.
I'm no vegetarian, but I still hate animal cruelty, which includes gutting and eating animals alive. So that image of the Lady who was trying to eat an octopi alive getting face hugged by it while panicking left me with a feeling of joy and satisfaction. I doubt the Chad survived, but at least they left there mark.
@@mastert4432 Based on the fact that he stated the Octopi was getting back at her and the fact that it was maliciously latching on and clinging to her, I'm pretty sure it was still alive. It would be one thing if like a stray tentacle or 2 was latched on, but it was full on head crabbing her. And people do eat animals alive, including octopi and squid primarily as far as I can tell, pretty frequently, so I like to imagine some of the animals got there kicks in.
@@envoltaemla6652 actually the tentacles will actively seek out and grab on to food after the host is dead. That being said yes this octopus was still alive.
Fun fact: Cape Buffalo are known as "The Widower" because the men that go out of hunt them usually don't return. They are a herbivore that uses hunting tactics, and if a cape buffalo goes into some brush/tall grass its time to give up the chase because they will bait you into the grass, sneak up behind you and kill you. They're quite terrifying haha
You have a bolt action gun that can kill maybe 3 of them, yet they hang out in herds of over100 and have each other's backs by attacking the attackers, so the math works out. Also they weigh over a ton
That doesn’t surprise me at all! They’ve been hunted by the best predators on earth for their entire evolutionary arch, I’m sure they’ve learned a thing or two!
I've actually worked with camels, and all I have to say is; "yep, that sounds about right". The ones I worked with were generally really nice, one was young and playfully and the other old and one of the most chill things I've met in person. But sometimes they could be real assholes, especially the younger one who had a tendency of stealing my hat (after a while I just stopped wearing the hat to work anymore). Thats the nice story, once the young one kicked me in the head. Thankfully I'm built like Tanjrio so I got off with only a slight headache, but dam did it feel like it was close to being way worse. And just because he is younger doesn't mean his small, he weights about 700kg (that's 1543 lbs for the Americans). Moral of the story: they're amazing animals and I love them but they can be really dangerous, show them respect and for the love of God don't get on their bad side
In Somalia camels are called the crazy familie we watch auth. They could kill my grandpa was attack and his leg was broken 2 places so they are no choke
Problem with alot of animals is you could end up on the bad side over something you don't even think is serious even though you've been good with them for years. Like the guy that forgot to bring his camel friend the soda. Horses will get mad if they perceive you ignoring them. One of them bit the crap out of someone I know just because he wouldn't give it attention because he was fixing something.
My favorite story about an octopus taking revenge on someone is the one about a male octopus who escaped his tank just long enough to throw a bad shrimp accidentally included in his lunch at the head of the guy who fed him, and then went right back in his tank!
I have two cats, and I think of the speed and intensity when they're playing, how they can be somewhat petty, and how focused they are when they really want something. Then I scale that up about 400 pounds and that's why I'm terrified of tigers.
@just me theyre actually more succesfull hunters than tigers tigers have a 50% success rate in their optimal environment cats have 70% in thejr optimal environment cats are incredible small-game hunters, my grandma's gave her a gutted pigeon every morning, he slowly cut the pigeon like a serial killer with OCD, sepersting each organ and cut of meat, cuz he liked certain cuts more than others
Cats weren’t domesticated in the same manner as dogs. We didn’t deliberately take in the most agreeable wildcats and selectively breed them to reinforce desirable personality traits, _they’re_ the ones that chose to move in with us back during the Neolithic Era. We didn’t have metal tools yet, but we had agriculture, which meant that we had mud hut after mud hut full of woven reed baskets full of grain that were attracting all the mice and rats. The wildcats followed the rodents and eventually realized they didn’t need to bolt once they’d made a catch and could cohabitate with the big hairless monkeys. What I’m getting at is that cats really are just tiny tigers.
I feel so bad for that guy that caught the hatred from those crows over a misunderstanding, I don't know if there'd really be anything you could do to clear that up besides just moving somewhere else to live where the crows don't know you as a baby murderer
There once was a camel that resided in Overton Nevada (he could still be there for all I know, haven't been there in years). There is also in existence, in one of my mother's photo albums, a picture of said camel deciding that 4 year old me looked eatable. Yes, I have seen what the inside of a camel's mouth looks like up close and personal. I can also tell you that having a camel envelope your entire head with it's mouth, lift you off the ground and try to pull you over the fence of its enclosure is NOT a fun way to spend your afternoon. I can also tell you that my father was an asshole because instead of trying to help my mother free me from the jaws of that slobbering beast from hell, he decided it would be a better idea to snap a picture of me dangling in the air from the camel's mouth while my mother screamed in horror. I had such an interesting childhood.
I used to find them cute when I was a kid, then I grew up and saw how much of little psychopaths they are, so glad there aren't any monkeys were I live
I've saw monkeys outside of a zoo multiple times, I live in a small city where monkeys are so common, they are so chill but I've always been scared to go near any of them unless I'm in my dad's car, once I went hiking with friends and we went down a lil "natural tunnel" ?? And when we reached the end of it we were walking under many trees near a Waterfall and the area was filled with monkeys, my day was ruined, the monkeys didn't even bother us, my friends were feeding them and swimming and all while I was sitting on the grass eating a sandwich hoping that we will return home soon, I was sitting im wet pants and shoes (yes my feet slipped when I was crossing the river lol cuz the rocks were too wet and smooth and full of moss) so that probably made my day worse, but fortunately it was sunny.
Monkey/apes are the one animal I think the world may be better off not having. Everyone has a purpose and thiers is to dicks to most other living things for no reason. Everyone but the gentle Giants of the apes can go and the world may be much better offm
other fun fact: chimps can even assassin for nothing but cruelty (like humans). obviously they can do kill for revenge or self defence (the vast majority of time) but also for pure sadism. chimps are next level in the primate world... i don't know if monkeys will do it also gratuitously, i think not, i believe they aren't at chimps level (yet) but they sure can be cruel
The story about the baby crow is terrifying. I rescued a crow a number of years ago - full-grown, wing broken. Called a sanctuary, so it didn't die, but I always wonder if other crows saw that as a good or bad thing. Never been attacked, so I guess I did right by them.
I have a somewhat sadder story. I was on a walk in the summer when I saw a young crow (it still had blue eyes) on the road, dead crow beside it, with a shattered wing. I immediately picked him up and brought him home, but because it was Labor Day, the SPCA wasn't open. (As was my mom's excuse) Since we couldn't get it to expert care, it died the very next morning. So I'm sure the murder has it out for me because all they saw was some large animal kidnapping an injured member, never to be seen again.
You've went up in quality and upload way more frequently, way to go bro , also thank you for mentioning about how demonic camels can be , and what they're capable of , not many people know .
But they can be extremely loving and protective of you and your family only if you do right by them , cause honestly they're fking terrifying if pissed off
I don't know what camels can do. But what I do know is that back then, one way for middle eastern warriors to win against horse riding cavalries is by riding camels. Turns out horse is afraid of camel, and I do know what horse can do
Every time crows get mentioned I'll confirm it once again. Crows carry grudges, but can also grow fond of people. There is a murder of crows living in my local park, and since I went to school nearby, I was able to make friends with them (I spent years sitting along every week day, eating something, and gave them scraps). Not once have I had any issues with them... But you know who does? My ex. He lives near the park, but whenever he has to go somewhere, has to go all the way around it, because every time he walks through, he gets attacked by the crows who noticed he has beef with one of their pals. Last time I saw him, he was covered in crow poop. All over his clothes, in his hair... so much, it was pretty clear they were specifically aiming at him. That's what you get for breaking up with me over text, and then being dumb enough to actually agree to meet me under the eyes of the crowverlords.
This reminds me of that show where a vegetarian contestant got angry on why they were tying the Camel whilst milking it, they had to sit down with her for 10 minutes to explain that if they don't tie it, it would kick them to death. She still called them cruel.
Vegetarians and Vegans are lucky for their entitlement and rose goggles. Just put one with a hippopotamus and they'll tell us not to kill it until it behind to maul them
@@noonespecial9704 you're using that shit wrong. You used the whole group of us to name a minority. That's generalisation done wrong. Generalisation done right is saying plants are green. Despite their being plants with purple or yellow leaves, the overwhelming majority is in fact green so it makes sense in that case to generalise.
I actually worked as a designer for the local paper where this incident happened, and one of our journalists went to the ranch to interview the owner. From my understanding the victim was harassing the camel and it bit the man's face off...like ripped the skin from his face. He was alive when it happened but died when the camel rolled over and crushed him. They never released any photos but it was insane. There's a lot of messed up stuff like that around small towns. My wife and I breed snakes and currently our state is facing a ban from owning any non-local species because a trailer trash family was keeping chickens, Burmese pythons and BCi's around small children, one of which died. The kids were kept in small cages WITH the snakes....Now our Burmese is as sweet as can be, but I would never let it alone with a child. Most of our snakes and tarantulas are used for educational lectures in schools. It's just crazy that some messed up people do this then our government blames and demonizes the animals...
It's also funny that the government thinks these kinds of people will adhere to that law. If they are putting children in a snake tank they clearly are not going to care about illegally owning an animal. Since child endangerment is illegal already.
I volunteered at a moderate sized Zoo years ago, and they told us their top three most dangerous animals were (in no particular order); the sun bear, the cassowary, and the camels. So yeah I'm not surprised to see camels on this list. Thanks for the epic video! I love watching your content!
funny story I heard on another channel: An ex Special Forces Sgt. named Terrence Popp knew not to mess with monkeys in the jungle. He warned one of his guys not to mess with them. But the guy didn't listen. He took a few pot-shots at them. For the reset of the day and into the night this large troop of monkeys followed them and pelted them with a continuous stream of monkey-turds. Monkeys hold grudges. If they leave you alone, leave them alone. If you can't, then don't just pop one, take out any witness monkeys as well.
My ex-wife used to throw rocks at crows. It didn't go well for her. I kept trying to tell her that she had been crow cursed and she needed to make peace with them but she wouldn't listen.
On the monkey/dog situation you described: Those monkeys live in India and are macaques, the same species as the Japanese monkeys. They're known to mimick human behaviour closeley. For example, the type of northern Japanese macaque, that is known as "snow monkey" or "onsen monkey" in the media, learned how to use hot springs for bathing in the 1960s. A single female watched Japanese people bathing in them and decided, that the similarities between humans and monkeys meant, that bathing was also safe for monkeys. There's even a photo of a bathing monkey operating a smartphone, looking at the screen as if it was reading the news. The phone was stolen from a tourist and the monkey mimicked what the tourist did, up to swiping and prodding the phone. The Indian monkeys' behaviour is also based on mimicking humans. They see how humans live together with dogs and also want one. They take puppies, because the're small and defenseless, so they can carry them up into the trees and won't get bitten. And there's a second component: It's often childless females (similar to animal hoarders in the human world), who kidnap puppies as a child substitute. They respond to the same "baby schema" as humans: They find plump little kids with short snouts and big eyes cute and recognise them as babies, even though they're a different species. What makes it easier for them to steal puppies is the fact, that dogs in India are often "pariah dogs". This concepts exists in many cultures, and it means that the dogs in a village don't belong to any specific person. They're often semi-feral mutts, that defend the village (= their source of food and shelter) and are in turn tolerated by the villagers and given leftovers. But they have no owners, usually no names and they're not trained in any way. So nobody makes a fuss, when a monkey takes off with a puppy. There are two problems with macaques: 1. Their mimicking ability has its limits. They kidnap puppies, that still need milk to survive, and try to feed them things that macaques would eat, like fruits. Puppies often starve in the trees or are abandoned on roofs, because they won't eat monkey food. The macaques aren't usually throwing them from heights, but expect them to hold on like a baby monkey... and puppies simply can't cling to their monkey mother like that, so they fall. Sometimes the macaques just get tired of the dogs and ditch them, because they're not monkeylike enough. It's the same with the human baby kidnappings: Cute kid, light enough to carry, monkey mom takes it, panicks when she's hunted down by the parents and drops the baby somewhere - in a well, for example. And just for the record, some of those monkey moms are actually really good, keep the puppies alive, defend them (even against other grown dogs) and ride on them when they're big enough. Those are the most dangerous macaques: They're domesticating their own dogs. 2. Among macaques, only weak group members share food. Feeding macaques means, that you're weak in their eyes. They will from then on just take your food, even if you don't want to share, and they get very bold quickly. Macaque raids on villages aren't uncommon, because they feel entitled to the whole community's food, once a couple of stupid people have thrown them some crumbs. In 2020 Indian macaques became a serious pest in many Indian places frequented by tourists, because a lack of tourists meant a lack of food, so they tried to get it from the locals, who wouldn't share. This gang mentality of macaques is the reason, why the Indian police employs grey langurs in some places. Grey langurs are a different species of tall, slender monkey with beige fur and a black face. Macaques are terrified of them. So the police shows up with their langur squad, when the macaques become too much of a menace. The langurs aren't much bigger or heavier than macaques and can easily chase them across roofs and through trees. Placing langur guards in an area keeps the macaques away, even for a while after the langur has vanished. The police train the langurs and keep them on a leash during work hours (when they're not going after macaques), and they pay them with fruits (unlike macaques, langurs won't treat you like shit for feeding them). You can often see langurs riding on a motorcycle with a policeman on their way to a deployment. The Indian god Hanuman is a langur, too, and this implies, that the langur monkey police does in fact have a long tradition: Even centuries ago Indians were aware, that langurs could protect their settlements from the macaque pest. So, next I'd like to see a video about the Indian monkey police, dear.
@@emPIEror This may surprise you, but I'm not Indian and wasn't involved in one of the numerous langur police procedural shows, that are on air over in South Asia and Southeast Asia (yes, there is also a Thai monkey police; I'm not sure which species they're using... but they put them in little uniforms). So I can't answer that question to your fullest satisfaction - but, yes, physical violence may be the reason, why the macaques sh*t their non-existent pants whenever they see a langur approaching.
Elephants who are treated well by their humans are also incredibly loyal and gentle. A circus that came through town when I was a kid had an elephant as part of the show and they offered rides beforehand. Even though my parents didn't have a lot of money, Dad always paid the few dollars extra so we could ride her. Getting to touch her rough skin and see her reddish-brown hairs up close was *magical.* After the show, Dad and I always found some of the handlers backstage to talk to. They spoke so highly of the intelligence of all the animals they worked with. I was so sad when regulations and pressure from animal rights groups forced them to downsize their animal acts, eventually having to get rid of their elephant. I hope they were able to give her a good home.
@@mndiaye_97 Yeah, they're amazing. It's so sad that ignorance in the past and a few assholes in the present ruined circuses for everyone else. There was no way a poor kid from the Upper Midwest was ever going to get close enough to hug an elephant otherwise.
@@brigidtheirishit’s probably a good thing they don’t exist anymore. A lot of terrible accidents have happened from abusing them and simply do to them being wild animals.
@@brigidtheirish Even if some animals in circus are treated properly, many others aren't and it's a good thing it's illegal now. There is also an inadequate climate for most and some accidents.
@@liviwaslost Perhaps, but what about the ones that weren't abused? And aren't some Asian elephants bred in captivity effectively as domesticated animals? Yes, they'd still be dangerous, but so are cattle, horses, camels...
All of your success is well earned, Mamadou. I, for one, am glad you downloaded TikTok as a joke and started dishing out facts like that creepy guy in the van does with candy. Cheers, and we wish you a great 23.

@@mndiaye_97 idk why the india and chinese authorities didn't do anything to the monkeys after thoses two incidents, because if they're just aggressive ok... But killing babies? Im not taking that disrespect
The funny part of the story about the guy who tried to save the crow is that every crow he hurts now makes things worse for him. There is a way to change that habit but it involves basically putting out a lot of food for the crows while you sit next to it and let them get as much as they want and don't take any aggressive actions. It will be dangerous but it might solve his problem as long as he is able to keep from getting injured.
So... your advice would be to poison the little beasts when they least expect it? Nice, very nice. They'll never see it coming. Plus, there won't be any crow witnesses if he draws all of their attention at once, killing every crow in his vicinity. He better start buying a lot of birdseed to prepare for the crow genocide.
@@virtualwarp I wasn't saying anything about harming the animals and I'm quite offended by your comments saying that it was what I was describing. I was simply describing him putting out viable and healthy food for the animals and staying close by as he eats it or lets them eat it. Harming the animals would be horrible for the birds and him and probably other animals too. Remember that when you use any biologically active agents your probably going to affect many many other things. The best way I can easily explain this is when you spray insects with poison those insects get eaten by lizards and mice and Rats and cats and that builds up in the larger body animals which are then eaten by animals higher in the food chain and some of those poisonous chemicals eventually get into our food and now you're killing us. This is the reason why chemical and biological weapons have been banned for years now and to top it off they have lasting effects on those who survive. I know many of these things first hand from my own family and friends. Yes we have been over using many different things for so long that we have probably caused unrepairable damage to our environment.
@@jedstanaland2897 My initial reply was actually a joke, mate. Don't worry. I'm a big animal lover and would never intentionally harm any living organism. I barely kill insects that wander in my home. I simply catch them with a glass and release them. So, I'm quite the pacifist when it comes to animals.
The vending machine and coconut tree statistics make more sense when you realize both of those are heavy things that people frequently shake violently.
About the macaques in Japan, it definitely could be a troop of monkeys being fed by humans, which makes the humans appear "lower in the ranks" as it were. Then, when a human *doesnt* give food, they punish the "lower rank" by attacking them and trying to get food anyway.
That elephant had to go through the trouble of finding a newspaper stand , buying said newspaper, finding the obituary, Google maps the location, plan the route giving himself enough time to account for traffic, just to stomp on this lady's gravy!! Big props.
I feel bad for the crow guy. I like crows a lot and trying to help an injured or dying bird would have been something I would have done too. I would have been really sad if I earned a generational grudge from a murder of crows due to a misunderstanding.
You probably won't see this but man, your channel is the only thing that brings me joy on some days. the sense of contentment and happiness i feel just by watching a video after another.. can't thank you enough.
Thanks to tigers, elephants, sloth bears, macaques, leopards and now camels, I feel represented as an Indian. Need a special episode on Indian snakes next!
Wait I just realized. How the heck did we domesticate camels ? They are Hella aggressive and they are bigger than zebras and we don't even consider domesticating zebras, not to mention the ways they remove people from the senses is beyond terrifying
Probably because how useful they are outweighs the danger. That and camels are at least a social structure, zebra are together in a herd for safety, but it's not the same as having a social group like horses and wolves and camels.
I’ve been really struggling lately. I had surgery a couple weeks ago and I’m in pain almost all the time, but if there’s one thing that can help me take my mind off it, it’s these videos! I always watch your videos when I feel awful. For some reason, they always make me feel better, and I watched your videos over and over again while I was in hospital, and I always look forward to seeing what you’ll upload next, because I _know_ I’ll enjoy it! So thank you so much for helping me through tough times! I know you don’t know it (and you’ll probably never see this) but you REALLY have helped me and continue to help me when i’m just about ready to unalive myself. ❤
Stay strong mate:) I am passing by the same period as u do , so I know how these videos make the mood rise pretty fast Don't get too rough on urself u will be better soonn
Hey, sorry to hear that and hope you’re feeling better. I had to go through surgery last year and I know how mentally draining it can be but keep pushing through! And thank you, glad my videos are able to help just a bit 😊
Fun fact: the 3700 psi estimate for an AVERAGE 13-14 foot crocodile's bite force. Scientists say the bite force of crocodiles 20 feet or larger is at least 7000 psi. That's almost as much as a T-Rex. That means it would be easier to deadlift a hippo than forcibly open a crocodile's jaws.
Coincidentally closing them is equally easy. Since they're purely designed to slam shut there's not much opposing the force that a humble rubber band could be used to close them
I've actually wondered about that since i saw a video of a guy prying an alligator's mouth open. It's possible that we get those huge numbers for snap shuts, and the animals don't actually maintain that force. Similar to how a sprinter isn't able to go full sprint for very long, muscle fibers that output that kind of force aren't designed to maintain it
My closest encounters with monkeys were when I was a little kid. I used to visit my grandma's house during my summer vacation and basically their locality was quite rural so monkeys were quite common and quite a big pain in the ass. They would steal food from the kitchen, raid storehouses, rip clothes and there was a memorable encounter involving one taking off with my aunt's underwear that was hanging out to dry outside. They're less common now due to urbanization and how there is less vegetation but I still remember those memories with a faint hint of terror knowing now what they're really capable of.
Everyone in my family is terrified of monkeys and I will NEVER understand why anyone would want one for a pet or even think they're cute. They are not. Anything and anyone that can murder a puppy by dropping it from a 3 story building deserves prison time.
I finished reading your book a few days ago, and I was able to read the entire thing in your voice. It just goes to show how good these videos are. Edit: hey wait i recognize some of the lines in this video

I remember seeing a camel when I was younger at this petting zoo type thing when I was like 10 or 11. I fed it some dried corn that they would use to feed the deer at the park, you could buy some dried corn from these machines for 25-50 cents. So me and my aunt grabbed some and fed the camel. It was at least 6ft tall, which to 10 or 11 year old me was super intimidating. It ate the corn from our hands and I remember it smelled awful. Never again….lol
"Cloudy with a chance of puppies." It's that special kind of dark humor (similar to the cat getting shot in Boondock Saints) that makes your videos pure gold sometimes. Much like that movie scene, your comment had no right to be that funny. Well done sir.
I knew Tatiana, the tiger at SF zoo. It was a terrible tragedy that she ended up killed because of those...people. I used to visit the zoo during the calm hours when I lived down the street, I sat and read to politely observe. I believe Tatiana lived with her son, so I felt sad for him having lost her. I hope the zoo didn't keep him alone for the rest of his life. People suck. I like your videos, thanks.
Here's another one: In China, a bunch of stray dogs destroyed the car of a man who kicked another stray dog that was sleeping in a parking spot near his home.
Great stuff. There's this thing going around involving how a normal looking animal can look demonic at night. Was wondering if you could cover something similar to that.
I love the fact that ants were the first slavers ever. Lovely creatures. Furthermore, I think there is a species of ant that takes the queen of another ant hive hostage, blackmailing her people into giving up and slaving for them. I think, not sure about that, but something close.
More or less, can't remember if it's the citronella ant or another visually similar species but they're parasitic queens that will kill the guards of the host colony, use their remains to cover herself in their smell, then proceed to walk in like she owns the place because she will in a few more hours. Also does the same with every worker that opposes her as the first ones until she reaches the original queens chamber and beheads her. The original workers kinda don't really have a choice by this point because the usurper is the only one producing eggs so they eventually go extinct as they die of old age or get picked off by predators as the new invasive workers grow up and eventually completely replace them. Some people think they're cool as pets because of this strange behavior but it's apparently kinda hard to artificially simulate the behavior with sacrifices from another colony and sometimes the workers kill the parasitic queen before she can assimilate into the group

I have a nephew, Sage, who is half Trinidadian and half Anglo-Saxon with very dark skin while the rest of the family is very pale Caucasian. He loves nature and science, but he never used to talk about it or look at opportunities get more engaged because, in his words, "people that look like me don't do science." Those words hurt me as a math teacher that believes that mathematicians and scientists can come from anywhere. We introduced him to the work of Neil Degrasse Tyson, Dr. Hussein Abkallo, Mae Carol Jameson and your videos to show that a love of science goes beyond skin color, background, age, or gender. I am so grateful for your matter-of-fact approach and obvious love for science as well as your willingness to be on camera. He does not love math like I do (sadly), but he has love for the natural world and animal science in a way that makes me proud. Thank you for being a great role model and know that your audience really appreciates you.
That sounds made up.🤔 I have met ppl at Loyala College from Trinidad. So how is this being spouted in 2023/24 by a person descendant from the diaspora?

Similarly, I am so amused by the fact that sharks, star of more animal attack movie than any other, are statistically speaking, really unlikely to kill you, let alone attack.
My Geology teacher in collage told us all about this one octopus who was stored on the same room as his food. Same room, separate tanks, and it took several days and looking at a security camera to find out that the octopus was getting out of his tank, crawling across the floor, getting into the food tank, taking one fish from the tank, and crawling back to his own tank.

I started feeding the birds in the park this summer. At first it was mostly pigeons that got some seeds and stale popcorn, but eventually the daily feast drew crows from the nearby woods. The crows let the pigeons eat the seeds and popcorn, cuz they know they get chicken scraps and sometimes fries when the grey crowd thins out.
They haven't started following me home or bring me cool shit, but the crows greet me with caws when I get to the benches and the pidgies gladly sit on my arm and feed from my hand at this point. I'm slowly gaining their trust. Looking forward to being the bird guy in the post-apocalypse

Fun fact: Cape Buffalo are known as "The Widower" because the men that go out of hunt them usually don't return. They are a herbivore that uses hunting tactics, and if a cape buffalo goes into some brush/tall grass its time to give up the chase because they will bait you into the grass, sneak up behind you and kill you. They're quite terrifying haha
I think you mean "Widowmaker". A widower is something entirely different; it's a man who lost his spouse (the male version of a widow).
You have a bolt action gun that can kill maybe 3 of them, yet they hang out in herds of over100 and have each other's backs by attacking the attackers, so the math works out. Also they weigh over a ton

I've actually worked with camels, and all I have to say is; "yep, that sounds about right". The ones I worked with were generally really nice, one was young and playfully and the other old and one of the most chill things I've met in person. But sometimes they could be real assholes, especially the younger one who had a tendency of stealing my hat (after a while I just stopped wearing the hat to work anymore). Thats the nice story, once the young one kicked me in the head. Thankfully I'm built like Tanjrio so I got off with only a slight headache, but dam did it feel like it was close to being way worse. And just because he is younger doesn't mean his small, he weights about 700kg (that's 1543 lbs for the Americans). Moral of the story: they're amazing animals and I love them but they can be really dangerous, show them respect and for the love of God don't get on their bad side

So why did the youth kick you? Shits and giggles?
In Somalia camels are called the crazy familie we watch auth. They could kill my grandpa was attack and his leg was broken 2 places so they are no choke
Problem with alot of animals is you could end up on the bad side over something you don't even think is serious even though you've been good with them for years.

cats have 70% in thejr optimal environment
cats are incredible small-game hunters, my grandma's gave her a gutted pigeon every morning, he slowly cut the pigeon like a serial killer with OCD, sepersting each organ and cut of meat, cuz he liked certain cuts more than others
Cats weren’t domesticated in the same manner as dogs. We didn’t deliberately take in the most agreeable wildcats and selectively breed them to reinforce desirable personality traits, _they’re_ the ones that chose to move in with us back during the Neolithic Era. We didn’t have metal tools yet, but we had agriculture, which meant that we had mud hut after mud hut full of woven reed baskets full of grain that were attracting all the mice and rats. The wildcats followed the rodents and eventually realized they didn’t need to bolt once they’d made a catch and could cohabitate with the big hairless monkeys.
What I’m getting at is that cats really are just tiny tigers.

I’ve never encountered a monkey outside of a zoo, but I’m starting to take their aggression towards humans personally.
I used to find them cute when I was a kid, then I grew up and saw how much of little psychopaths they are, so glad there aren't any monkeys were I live
I've saw monkeys outside of a zoo multiple times, I live in a small city where monkeys are so common, they are so chill but I've always been scared to go near any of them unless I'm in my dad's car, once I went hiking with friends and we went down a lil "natural tunnel" ?? And when we reached the end of it we were walking under many trees near a Waterfall and the area was filled with monkeys, my day was ruined, the monkeys didn't even bother us, my friends were feeding them and swimming and all while I was sitting on the grass eating a sandwich hoping that we will return home soon, I was sitting im wet pants and shoes (yes my feet slipped when I was crossing the river lol cuz the rocks were too wet and smooth and full of moss) so that probably made my day worse, but fortunately it was sunny.

The story about the baby crow is terrifying. I rescued a crow a number of years ago - full-grown, wing broken. Called a sanctuary, so it didn't die, but I always wonder if other crows saw that as a good or bad thing. Never been attacked, so I guess I did right by them.
Good for you bro
I have a somewhat sadder story.
I was on a walk in the summer when I saw a young crow (it still had blue eyes) on the road, dead crow beside it, with a shattered wing. I immediately picked him up and brought him home, but because it was Labor Day, the SPCA wasn't open. (As was my mom's excuse) Since we couldn't get it to expert care, it died the very next morning.
So I'm sure the murder has it out for me because all they saw was some large animal kidnapping an injured member, never to be seen again.

Crows carry grudges, but can also grow fond of people.
There is a murder of crows living in my local park, and since I went to school nearby, I was able to make friends with them (I spent years sitting along every week day, eating something, and gave them scraps).
Not once have I had any issues with them...
But you know who does? My ex.
He lives near the park, but whenever he has to go somewhere, has to go all the way around it, because every time he walks through, he gets attacked by the crows who noticed he has beef with one of their pals.
Last time I saw him, he was covered in crow poop. All over his clothes, in his hair... so much, it was pretty clear they were specifically aiming at him.
That's what you get for breaking up with me over text, and then being dumb enough to actually agree to meet me under the eyes of the crowverlords.

I actually worked as a designer for the local paper where this incident happened, and one of our journalists went to the ranch to interview the owner. From my understanding the victim was harassing the camel and it bit the man's face off...like ripped the skin from his face. He was alive when it happened but died when the camel rolled over and crushed him. They never released any photos but it was insane. There's a lot of messed up stuff like that around small towns. My wife and I breed snakes and currently our state is facing a ban from owning any non-local species because a trailer trash family was keeping chickens, Burmese pythons and BCi's around small children, one of which died. The kids were kept in small cages WITH the snakes....Now our Burmese is as sweet as can be, but I would never let it alone with a child. Most of our snakes and tarantulas are used for educational lectures in schools. It's just crazy that some messed up people do this then our government blames and demonizes the animals...
It's also funny that the government thinks these kinds of people will adhere to that law. If they are putting children in a snake tank they clearly are not going to care about illegally owning an animal. Since child endangerment is illegal already.

Most flawless transition into an ad about an ant game.
Didn't realize it was an ad till it was over.
On the monkey/dog situation you described:
Those monkeys live in India and are macaques, the same species as the Japanese monkeys.
They're known to mimick human behaviour closeley.
For example, the type of northern Japanese macaque, that is known as "snow monkey" or "onsen monkey" in the media, learned how to use hot springs for bathing in the 1960s. A single female watched Japanese people bathing in them and decided, that the similarities between humans and monkeys meant, that bathing was also safe for monkeys. There's even a photo of a bathing monkey operating a smartphone, looking at the screen as if it was reading the news. The phone was stolen from a tourist and the monkey mimicked what the tourist did, up to swiping and prodding the phone.
The Indian monkeys' behaviour is also based on mimicking humans. They see how humans live together with dogs and also want one. They take puppies, because the're small and defenseless, so they can carry them up into the trees and won't get bitten. And there's a second component: It's often childless females (similar to animal hoarders in the human world), who kidnap puppies as a child substitute. They respond to the same "baby schema" as humans: They find plump little kids with short snouts and big eyes cute and recognise them as babies, even though they're a different species.
What makes it easier for them to steal puppies is the fact, that dogs in India are often "pariah dogs". This concepts exists in many cultures, and it means that the dogs in a village don't belong to any specific person. They're often semi-feral mutts, that defend the village (= their source of food and shelter) and are in turn tolerated by the villagers and given leftovers. But they have no owners, usually no names and they're not trained in any way. So nobody makes a fuss, when a monkey takes off with a puppy.
There are two problems with macaques:
1. Their mimicking ability has its limits.
They kidnap puppies, that still need milk to survive, and try to feed them things that macaques would eat, like fruits. Puppies often starve in the trees or are abandoned on roofs, because they won't eat monkey food. The macaques aren't usually throwing them from heights, but expect them to hold on like a baby monkey... and puppies simply can't cling to their monkey mother like that, so they fall. Sometimes the macaques just get tired of the dogs and ditch them, because they're not monkeylike enough. It's the same with the human baby kidnappings: Cute kid, light enough to carry, monkey mom takes it, panicks when she's hunted down by the parents and drops the baby somewhere - in a well, for example.
And just for the record, some of those monkey moms are actually really good, keep the puppies alive, defend them (even against other grown dogs) and ride on them when they're big enough. Those are the most dangerous macaques: They're domesticating their own dogs.
2. Among macaques, only weak group members share food.
Feeding macaques means, that you're weak in their eyes. They will from then on just take your food, even if you don't want to share, and they get very bold quickly. Macaque raids on villages aren't uncommon, because they feel entitled to the whole community's food, once a couple of stupid people have thrown them some crumbs. In 2020 Indian macaques became a serious pest in many Indian places frequented by tourists, because a lack of tourists meant a lack of food, so they tried to get it from the locals, who wouldn't share.
This gang mentality of macaques is the reason, why the Indian police employs grey langurs in some places.
Grey langurs are a different species of tall, slender monkey with beige fur and a black face. Macaques are terrified of them. So the police shows up with their langur squad, when the macaques become too much of a menace.
The langurs aren't much bigger or heavier than macaques and can easily chase them across roofs and through trees. Placing langur guards in an area keeps the macaques away, even for a while after the langur has vanished.
The police train the langurs and keep them on a leash during work hours (when they're not going after macaques), and they pay them with fruits (unlike macaques, langurs won't treat you like shit for feeding them). You can often see langurs riding on a motorcycle with a policeman on their way to a deployment.
The Indian god Hanuman is a langur, too, and this implies, that the langur monkey police does in fact have a long tradition: Even centuries ago Indians were aware, that langurs could protect their settlements from the macaque pest.
So, next I'd like to see a video about the Indian monkey police, dear.
Do the langur also fight the macaque menaces if they catch them ?
I know they won't slap cuffs on a macaque but I want to believe
@@emPIEror This may surprise you, but I'm not Indian and wasn't involved in one of the numerous langur police procedural shows, that are on air over in South Asia and Southeast Asia (yes, there is also a Thai monkey police; I'm not sure which species they're using... but they put them in little uniforms). So I can't answer that question to your fullest satisfaction - but, yes, physical violence may be the reason, why the macaques sh*t their non-existent pants whenever they see a langur approaching.

Elephants who are treated well by their humans are also incredibly loyal and gentle. A circus that came through town when I was a kid had an elephant as part of the show and they offered rides beforehand. Even though my parents didn't have a lot of money, Dad always paid the few dollars extra so we could ride her. Getting to touch her rough skin and see her reddish-brown hairs up close was *magical.* After the show, Dad and I always found some of the handlers backstage to talk to. They spoke so highly of the intelligence of all the animals they worked with. I was so sad when regulations and pressure from animal rights groups forced them to downsize their animal acts, eventually having to get rid of their elephant. I hope they were able to give her a good home.
One of the many reasons they’re my favorite animal
@@mndiaye_97 Yeah, they're amazing. It's so sad that ignorance in the past and a few assholes in the present ruined circuses for everyone else. There was no way a poor kid from the Upper Midwest was ever going to get close enough to hug an elephant otherwise.
@@brigidtheirishit’s probably a good thing they don’t exist anymore. A lot of terrible accidents have happened from abusing them and simply do to them being wild animals.
@@brigidtheirish Even if some animals in circus are treated properly, many others aren't and it's a good thing it's illegal now. There is also an inadequate climate for most and some accidents.
@@liviwaslost Perhaps, but what about the ones that weren't abused? And aren't some Asian elephants bred in captivity effectively as domesticated animals? Yes, they'd still be dangerous, but so are cattle, horses, camels...

Man, that story about the man trying to save the baby crow is peak "No good deed goes unpunished".
Crow rendition of harambe
*is Peak???? wut is that????*
@@Justin.Martyr like 'cool' or 'the best' i think
It’s honestly really wholesome to see a guy who loved animal books as kid make an animal book himself
The funny part of the story about the guy who tried to save the crow is that every crow he hurts now makes things worse for him. There is a way to change that habit but it involves basically putting out a lot of food for the crows while you sit next to it and let them get as much as they want and don't take any aggressive actions. It will be dangerous but it might solve his problem as long as he is able to keep from getting injured.
So... your advice would be to poison the little beasts when they least expect it?
Nice, very nice.
They'll never see it coming.
Plus, there won't be any crow witnesses if he draws all of their attention at once, killing every crow in his vicinity.
He better start buying a lot of birdseed to prepare for the crow genocide.
@@virtualwarp I wasn't saying anything about harming the animals and I'm quite offended by your comments saying that it was what I was describing. I was simply describing him putting out viable and healthy food for the animals and staying close by as he eats it or lets them eat it. Harming the animals would be horrible for the birds and him and probably other animals too. Remember that when you use any biologically active agents your probably going to affect many many other things. The best way I can easily explain this is when you spray insects with poison those insects get eaten by lizards and mice and Rats and cats and that builds up in the larger body animals which are then eaten by animals higher in the food chain and some of those poisonous chemicals eventually get into our food and now you're killing us. This is the reason why chemical and biological weapons have been banned for years now and to top it off they have lasting effects on those who survive. I know many of these things first hand from my own family and friends. Yes we have been over using many different things for so long that we have probably caused unrepairable damage to our environment.

Quite the contrary, actually.

The vending machine and coconut tree statistics make more sense when you realize both of those are heavy things that people frequently shake violently.
About the macaques in Japan, it definitely could be a troop of monkeys being fed by humans, which makes the humans appear "lower in the ranks" as it were. Then, when a human *doesnt* give food, they punish the "lower rank" by attacking them and trying to get food anyway.
That elephant had to go through the trouble of finding a newspaper stand , buying said newspaper, finding the obituary, Google maps the location, plan the route giving himself enough time to account for traffic, just to stomp on this lady's gravy!! Big props.

I wonder how they domesticate orpas for theme parks
Probably because how useful they are outweighs the danger.
That and camels are at least a social structure, zebra are together in a herd for safety, but it's not the same as having a social group like horses and wolves and camels.

that octopus damn well was told by the fish about his Extended Warranty and the octopus delivered with that punch
Fun fact: the 3700 psi estimate for an AVERAGE 13-14 foot crocodile's bite force. Scientists say the bite force of crocodiles 20 feet or larger is at least 7000 psi. That's almost as much as a T-Rex. That means it would be easier to deadlift a hippo than forcibly open a crocodile's jaws.
Coincidentally closing them is equally easy. Since they're purely designed to slam shut there's not much opposing the force that a humble rubber band could be used to close them
Crocodiles are amazing reptiles for real
@@HM4Hill as a kid, this was actually my plan of survival for a croc-attack: hold their trap shut
steve irwan wrestled a t rex then got hash tagged by a sting ray
I've actually wondered about that since i saw a video of a guy prying an alligator's mouth open. It's possible that we get those huge numbers for snap shuts, and the animals don't actually maintain that force. Similar to how a sprinter isn't able to go full sprint for very long, muscle fibers that output that kind of force aren't designed to maintain it
My closest encounters with monkeys were when I was a little kid. I used to visit my grandma's house during my summer vacation and basically their locality was quite rural so monkeys were quite common and quite a big pain in the ass. They would steal food from the kitchen, raid storehouses, rip clothes and there was a memorable encounter involving one taking off with my aunt's underwear that was hanging out to dry outside. They're less common now due to urbanization and how there is less vegetation but I still remember those memories with a faint hint of terror knowing now what they're really capable of.
Is it legal to hunt konkeys where you are/were from?
Everyone in my family is terrified of monkeys and I will NEVER understand why anyone would want one for a pet or even think they're cute. They are not. Anything and anyone that can murder a puppy by dropping it from a 3 story building deserves prison time.

I remember seeing a camel when I was younger at this petting zoo type thing when I was like 10 or 11. I fed it some dried corn that they would use to feed the deer at the park, you could buy some dried corn from these machines for 25-50 cents. So me and my aunt grabbed some and fed the camel. It was at least 6ft tall, which to 10 or 11 year old me was super intimidating. It ate the corn from our hands and I remember it smelled awful. Never again….lol
"Cloudy with a chance of puppies." It's that special kind of dark humor (similar to the cat getting shot in Boondock Saints) that makes your videos pure gold sometimes. Much like that movie scene, your comment had no right to be that funny. Well done sir.
I knew Tatiana, the tiger at SF zoo. It was a terrible tragedy that she ended up killed because of those...people. I used to visit the zoo during the calm hours when I lived down the street, I sat and read to politely observe. I believe Tatiana lived with her son, so I felt sad for him having lost her. I hope the zoo didn't keep him alone for the rest of his life. People suck. I like your videos, thanks.

Great stuff. There's this thing going around involving how a normal looking animal can look demonic at night. Was wondering if you could cover something similar to that.
I love the fact that ants were the first slavers ever. Lovely creatures.
Furthermore, I think there is a species of ant that takes the queen of another ant hive hostage, blackmailing her people into giving up and slaving for them. I think, not sure about that, but something close.
More or less, can't remember if it's the citronella ant or another visually similar species but they're parasitic queens that will kill the guards of the host colony, use their remains to cover herself in their smell, then proceed to walk in like she owns the place because she will in a few more hours. Also does the same with every worker that opposes her as the first ones until she reaches the original queens chamber and beheads her. The original workers kinda don't really have a choice by this point because the usurper is the only one producing eggs so they eventually go extinct as they die of old age or get picked off by predators as the new invasive workers grow up and eventually completely replace them. Some people think they're cool as pets because of this strange behavior but it's apparently kinda hard to artificially simulate the behavior with sacrifices from another colony and sometimes the workers kill the parasitic queen before she can assimilate into the group

Honestly the way Casual bridges his sponser with the video is so damn good
I have a nephew, Sage, who is half Trinidadian and half Anglo-Saxon with very dark skin while the rest of the family is very pale Caucasian. He loves nature and science, but he never used to talk about it or look at opportunities get more engaged because, in his words, "people that look like me don't do science." Those words hurt me as a math teacher that believes that mathematicians and scientists can come from anywhere. We introduced him to the work of Neil Degrasse Tyson, Dr. Hussein Abkallo, Mae Carol Jameson and your videos to show that a love of science goes beyond skin color, background, age, or gender. I am so grateful for your matter-of-fact approach and obvious love for science as well as your willingness to be on camera. He does not love math like I do (sadly), but he has love for the natural world and animal science in a way that makes me proud. Thank you for being a great role model and know that your audience really appreciates you.
Does he not think that there is any Math or Science on the entire continent of Africa?
That sounds made up.🤔 I have met ppl at Loyala College from Trinidad. So how is this being spouted in 2023/24 by a person descendant from the diaspora? Just saying, very ODD. & the verbiage: anglo-saxon & caucasian. Why not include Celtic Briton? Caucasian meaning from the Caucas mountains ⛰️? Oh please, this is must be spun yarn. If not I'm shocked & boy needs to Google more.
