      Hey Hunter, this is off topic but you should totally look into the BBC's Banned show Ghostwatch, that might be the very first found footage horror programme. It went way too far tho and scared the piss out of the general public who thought it was a real live broadcast. It would be a really funny video

    My boyfriend’s grandfather was a dolphin/seal trainer in the Navy’s Marine Mammal program. FUN FACT: they would strap knives or pressure sensitive guns to the dolphins’ snouts and use them to protect against enemy divers. The dolphins would be rewarded for “booping” people with their snouts, so when dolphins would see an enemy diver, they’d go to “boop” them, and end up stabbing them.

    Wojtek also only ate lit cigarettes. If the cigarettes weren't lit he'd spit them out until they were lit and during his retirement at the Edinburgh Zoo he'd recognize and run up to greet his buddies he fought WW2 with. He also caught a German spy when they were traveling through Iraq on their way to Italy. Really, you could do a whole episode on Wojtek.

    If PapaMeat does another video on animals during wars, he should look at the WWII carrier pigeon that was released with SOS messages when an entire company was entrenched and surrounded by German forces. If I remember correctly, 5 pigeons were sent out and the Germans shot at them to prevent any messages from escaping. Every pigeon got hit, but one survived and kept flying, despite the wound, all the way back to base and delivered the letter! This prevented their own military from accidentally bombing them and saving the company. The pigeon survived and was awarded several medals, living the rest of his life comfortable enough. Bird could have panicked completely and gone anywhere, but stuck to the mission!

She also managed to carry out 51 solo resupply runs to various front line units. She was even able to transport wounded soldiers to safety. Sargeant Reckless was also the first horse in the Marine core to participate in an amphibious landing. Despite getting injured in combat she made it to the United states after the war ended.

    There are various statues of Wojtek in Poland to commemorate him. The first one is in Żagań, its Wojtek standing up and holding a artillery Shell in his paws.
    It was unveiled by “little Wojtek”, Prof. Wojciech Narębski, who is the last surviving soldier of the 22nd KZA in Poland.
    But in my opinion the best way Wojtek was honored is the Statue of him in Poznans Zoo where the Zoo started an asylum for bears that had been previously abused in circuses or in captivity.
    Some of the bears managed to recover enough to go into real winter sleep.
    No better way to honor Corporal Wojtek

    Project x-ray actually was going fine and they had worked out all the kinks until a failure in a cooler to keep the bats in hibernation for one of the live fire tests failed, resulting in an early release of the bats with armed incendiary bombs on them at the air base they were stationed out of. Even with the entire base searching for the bats and ready for the potential fires, come dawn when the timers on the bombs ran out a large portion of the base burned down causing the Army to shelve the program right then and there as they considered this a major failure. A US Marine General was observing the test and he told them that this was, in fact, a successful test as they proved that if they could get the bats to deploy correctly and the timers to be reliable enough, it was impossible to stop large fires from breaking out. So he took over the project and got the Navy to take over development. Since the budget was small and it was later in the war, they didn't get it working before another wonder weapon finished being perfected: the atomic bomb.
    The Fat Electrician here on RUclips has a full episode on the Bat Bomb that covers the story of it if anyone wants to get the whole story. With more resources spent on it, it would have worked. It's just that it sounded completely unhinged because it kind of is, but the idea worked if you perfect a few solvable engineering problems that aren't insurmountable with even 1940's technology.

    There was a very interesting piece about the birds. St. Olga of Kiev, implemented this strategy I believe called Bird Fyrd in order to get revenge on the Drevlians, a group of Eastern Slavs from the 6th-10th century. As a sign of peace, she asked for 3 birds from each of the houses in the city. Once they were given to her, she ordered her men to tie paper to the legs of the birds, or dip them in sulfur, then light them, to which they would be released back to their nests within the city, setting fire to pretty much everything.

They sent all the kids home because yeah no shit but because me and my buddies were older (I was around 14 and so hyped to spend the night at the zoo and then we got there and the next oldest kid was like maybe 8 lmao) we got taken on a private tour in a golf cart. Zookeeper told us about how they used to give the elephants treats but the elephants quickly realized that the local ducks really like the treats too. They would leave the treats out to attract the ducks and then stomp the ducks into little flesh patties. I’ve never looked at elephants the same (although tbf i’d prolly do the same if i was locked in a zoo).

    Burning birds were used as an easy way of igniting houses beyond city walls. They didn't light the bird on fire, but rather attached a burning pouch with a string to the birds. There are records of messenger birds specifically trained to travel certain paths highjacked to bring burning packages. I imagine they also could've/would've sneaked a person into a fortified town to catch a bird from it's nest to specifically have it return to it with a payload.

    You forgot America's Greatest Warhorse, Staff Sergeant Reckless, A race horse turned warhorse during the Korean War. She helped rescue countless soldiers and carried ammunition to the front lines multiple times without failure. All in all, she carried around 4,000 kg of ammo through rice paddies and mountains for more than 35 miles mainly all by herself, while under ememy fire! She bonded so much with the marines she served with that the soldiers would cover her in their own flak jackets to help prevent injury. She is also one of the most highly decorated animals to serve in war in U.S. history and she was buried with full military honors in 1968...kind of a forgotten hero nowadays but the marines that served with her remember I'm sure.

    While not a "weapon of war", there was a pigeon in WW1, Cher Ami, who saved his company while barely alive himself.
    Messenger pigeons were extensively used in WW1, some countries (France, Germany, UK) even using them before that. He was 1 of many English-bred birds to be shipped to the US' Pigeon Service (< an actual military unit).
    In 1918, 1 of the US divisions (US 77th, later known as the Lost Battalion) in France were in bad trouble. Stuck in a small depression behind enemy lines, no food nor ammunition, with allied troops shooting at them (unaware of it being their own people), the Major of the troupe decided to send out messenger pigeons (after human runners kept getting killed). All of which got gunned down.
    When the turn finally got to Cher Ami (the last carrier pigeon), he got to carry the note: "We are along the road parallel to 276.4. Our own artillery is dropping a barrage directly on us. For heavens sake stop it.".
    As he went airborne to fly back home, the Germans shot him down, but he managed to take flight again, arriving at the division's HQ 25 miles (40 km) away in just 25 minutes (only 5 minutes after shooting had ceased). He had been shot through the breast, blinded in one eye, and his right leg (with the Major's message) hanging only by a tendon.
    The army medics saved his life, leading him to recover enough to travel again, at the expense of losing his right leg. Cher Ami's message saved the remaining 194 still stuck in the depression (out of the 550).
    In November 2019, he became one of the first recipients of the Animals in War & Peace Medal of Bravery.
    (apologies for my lack of correct military term usage, I got too confused with the Divisions, the Companies, & whatnot)
    There's many, many more war heroes like this bird though, like:
    Sergeant Reckless (the horse)
    G.I. Joe (the pigeon)
    Unsinkable Sam (the cat)
    dozens of dogs (Chips, Lucca, Nemo, Smoky, etc)
    & many more
    (you can find most of them on the Animals in War & Peace Medal of Bravery Wikipedia, or the official website)

He was rumored to have killed 33 men in an hour long battle, was given the same rations and pay as a soldier, and was buried in an unmarked grave upon his death because the Spanish thought the natives believed he was indestructible. The THREAT of Becerillo was enough to keep them from fighting.

      also maybe the cats are attempting to mark their territory because of overcrowding of the cat population possibly. yes cats "live in colonies", but what happens is after the male kittens get to be about 1 or 2 the female cats kick the males out and then the males go and start their own colonies. male cats are typically solitary.

      another thing is if you dont have any pets and you plan on getting a cat, its actually a good idea to get two cats from the same litter. they will teach each other how to play properly. If you get a singleton they may not adjust and become aggressive as it gets older. the opposite is said for dogs, do not get two dogs from the same litter because they will grow to have a power dynamic where one becomes assertive and sometimes aggressive towards the other.

They are smart enough to get taught too know “that will eat my eggs” by previous generations and it happens globally too so it’s not that uncommon too see an owl being chased down by a murder of crows.

      The pigeon guidance actually worked. It just wasn't taken seriously. Animals are used for quite a bit of tech. We use honey bees to detect bombs

    I played Roam Total War II. And you can use alot of these units. Flaming pigs are fairly effective but are risky. Use of elephants is very effective and can make you feel like a god at times. But there are a few things that can frighten them, and once that happens, you practically lose everything real fast. Love how the game shows you so many units, teaches you alot about them, and what they are effective against and weak to.

    With their soft feet, caltrops were used as an effective measure against elephants and camels alike. The flaming birds were nesting in thatch roofs, so when they returned to their nest with tinder tied to them they lit the place up.

    Papa Meat, How could you not mention the baluga whale that deffected from Russias military and was assisnated this year!? PS, animal body parts are responsible for a lot of our military tech. Psps, I had a dog in Iraq I took as a puppy, he'd ride in the Bradley's and lead our patrols many time. He'd bark at threats. He even pushed a detained combatant down a flight of stairs. American military dogs need hours of rest, as a young mut this thing would go for hours!

    4:55 So the flaming birds situation was once allegedly utilized by Olga of Kiev after some of her people tore her husband apart by attaching his limbs to a bunch of trees because they didn't want to pay taxes anymore and she proceeded to essentially trick them into letting their gaurd down several times by pretending to be chill that they murdered her husband and eventually asked for them to send her carrier pigeons and wjen she sent them back she had attached coals to their feet and it allegedly set the town ablaze. I'm pretty sure this is likely a rumor but it could be true depending on how close the towns were but I'm pretty sure that would toast the birds on the way back. 😐 But yeah. Thats the only time I've ever heard of flaming birds being used historically in war. I mean I guess they weren't at war yet when she did that since women weren't allowed to start wars but they sure let her literal teenage son officially start it for her. And then lost. Because Olga is a baddie. I love her.

      @Dukedogdog She's legitimately one of my favorite women in history tbh Because her greatness isn't even defined by the loss of her husband. This woman went on to become a SAINT?? After literally wiping out hundreds of people. She she kept her people from being put to death for not converting? I legitimately think she's a maniac but back then who wasn't? Especially after someone rips your partner to the four winds. 😐

    In the 1600s the Swedish army tried to train moose as a replacement for cavalry horses. Since they have better stamina, are more sturdy, can eat a wider range of plants AND have antlers for intimidation.
    They worked pretty well, except for the fact that the army could never stop them from running away from cannon fire, so the whole effort was abandoned.
