I agree with the initial comment and honestly that should show how patient orangutans are because they are very capable, strong, and intelligent creatures. They have every right to protect themselves sometimes and yet most of the time they choose a non nonviolent response. Which is surprising due to how much they have been impacted by humans. Which is sad. I get so frustrated that Some animals have just evolved to not be that aggressive and it should be a good thing yet humans time and time again take advantage of that amazing trait like it's a weakness. (Like the DoDo 🦤) where I'm sure the Dodo was a lot like the Kakapo, or Kiwis and yet Humans made the Dodo go extinct. *From a scientific standpoint think of how beneficial the non aggressive traits the Dodo had could have been utilized for? With our modern day advancements in understanding of genetics and biology. It really is a shame we impact these creatures so much. (It's like people aren't thinking that one day the world could only exist of Humans and how horrible would THAT be? Yeah, I prefer living on a planet that has a ton of different critters besides just humans)
I’ve been right next to 4 giraffes, and even though they were calm, I was pretty scared. They’re SO big, and one kick could send you into the next world.
Where was this? I don't know of any zoo that would let you get that close to a giraffe, without a strong barrier. They know that anything could happen that might frighten the animal and make it dangerous. Elephants can be extremely dangerous too. I read once that they can kill a person just with their trunk, it has that many muscles in it and they can use it like a weapon. And if the trunk doesn't finish you off, the legs will. Like giraffes they startle easily and are extremely protective of their young. No way would I walk around any heavily treed park where elephants (or giraffes) were roaming around freely and we couldn't always see each other approaching. That's a recipe for disaster.
I've watched enough videos on dolphins to know that they aren't as nice as people think, but a lot of their aggression towards humans is caused by harassment or abuse
The capybara killing the spider monkey sounds like a one-off. However, it is good to realize that, if startled, those chisel teeth could inflict serious damage on a person. All animals, even the cute cuddly ones need to be respected. I suspect the Dolphin was seeking revenge after suffering abuse at the hands of humans. It was not evil. Good video.
In my hometown there is a leopard seal that annual swims through a popular estuary and some dumb youths thought throwing sticks at the seal witch just caused it to chase them up a wharf and grazed one of them but the teens ran off and decided to leave the animal alone. They where very lucky not to be injured or killed.
I always knew giraffes could kill a human if provoked, but I never knew they would pick a fight and straight up attack a human that was not bothering them. I’m also super shocked that a CAPYBARA killed a monkey. Sad
yeah it's a shame but that's always a downside to keeping animals in captivity, they're always forced to live with each other and there's no real escape
Yeah but most animals protect their babies, the woman probably thought the giraffe and her baby was cute and got way too close without thinking about their danger and as giraffes are huge they can easily kill.
people forget that even if an animal isn’t considered a dangerous predator, they’re still evolved to react to perceived danger with violence. you don’t survive living with lions and hyenas without knowing to start swinging when you’re stressed or startled
People are often surprised to learn that the wild mammal that kills the most people in Africa is the hippopotamus, a herbivore. And elephants are the zoo animals that kill the most zoo workers.
That one dolphins wasn’t to blame. There are plenty of evil dolphins but that one was harassed over and over again and had had enough. Most likely that wouldn’t have happened if people didn’t harass or torture him. Never corner a animal, they will retaliate.
I live close to capybaras and I know they are not so chill as people think. I once saw a large male chasing down a dog that was harassing it, pretty sure that if it managed to get a hold of the dog it would be gone jsut like that spider monkey.
They attack people quite frequently and can inflict nasty injuries. And like most rodents they carry pretty nasty diseases like salmonella and in rare cases even rabies.
We share the same views when it comes to nature and wild animals. It's best to admire them from afar. I had to remind my wife of this awhile back. We were hiking and encountered a deer with it's baby. They were clearly used to humans as they did not run. My wife kept getting closer to photograph. I had to tell her to stop. Looks cute sure but it could still hurt you. Especially since it's baby is near by. Always best to admire from afar and give animals respect.
Giraffes are fairly safe creatures. In Africa I came across a herd of giraffes and every time I tried to sneak up close they spotted me and ran away. But I suppose that if you cornered one of them they might attack.
Capybaras are cute as hell so we should never disrespect them, otherwise they’ll bite back… (I’ve heard of reports of them biting humans too) They’re my favorite rodent after all
The dolphin story seems sad , it tried to be friendly to humans in exchange it was harassed then aggression turned high. I imagined it went off and died
Most animals have killed. There's the famous yet unconfirmed tale of an Eagle and Tortoise who tag teamed Aeschylus, a Greek playwright. People have been killed by RNG attacks, the human body is hilariously badly built (this applies to many species but humans in particular). We have najor blood vessels close to the skin with no protection, no fur to reduce a cuts effectiveness and pretty poor physical reflexes or strength. Somewhere there's probably a case of a hamster taking someone off the census just because it bit them in just the wrong place.
Hell, even a single bite from a dog or domestic cat can kill a person. When my cat was still a kitten she bit a friend of my sister on the hand when she picked her up (after I had warned her not to, as she doesn't like being picked up by strangers). She bled like a stuck pig, and (I heard later from my sister), got blood poisoning even though we had immediately disinfected the wound, and she had to go on a round of antibiotics. I had actually misunderstood what had happened at the time and thought the cat had just scratched her. But no, it was a bite, and cats' bites are among the worst to get because their mouths are crawling with bacteria. My sister joked after that that my adorable little kitty cat "almost killed" her friend. There were no hard feelings, however.
@@KathyPrendergast-cu5ci my neighbour nearly died after a cat scratched her. Old girl was on blood thinners due to a history of strokes. Sometimes getting one-shotted is pure RNG. Glad your sisters mate recovered, that would be a shit way to leave the server.
HORSES 💯 people NEED to be more careful around them. They are always good but never ride or aproach a horse without knowing what your doing. Stupid horse owners get put in there place by their horses
It's strange how people who don't know horses tend to think of the first horse domestication being a scenario like humans going out and capturing full-grown wild horses, and somehow - if they survived that - managing to tame them to the point that they could ride them. Of course it can't have happened that way; they must have taken only very young foals from the wild - maybe ones whose mothers they'd killed, or that had been left behind by their herds - and raised them. Dog domestication probably started that way, too, with people adopting and raising puppies.
@@KathyPrendergast-cu5ci that’s true. Especially because without domesticated versions of animals it’s hard to know their behavior and body language. So easy to get hurt
top two killers in Africa are herbivores, hippos and buffalo, and anyone who think large herbivores are potentially dangerous has never seen a black Angus with a day old calf try to climb into the back of the feed truck to get at your dog(granted not everyone grew up around cattle and horses like i did ) they can be pretty scary and those are the domestic ones
My great uncle had a farm auction when he sold his farm. He had black Angus cows and calves. The cows were tagged with numbers and the calves were tagged with their mothers’ numbers. Then the calves were separated and put in a nearby pen. One of the calves lost his number, so some men went into the pen to put the tag back on. The calf struggled and bawled when the men were putting the tag back on. The cows next door walked over, with their heads lowered. Fortunately the calf stopped bawling when the tag was finally put on. The cows went back to mingling.

@@jase123111 well if you’re gonna eat meat at least with hunting the animal would’ve had a good life contributing to the ecosystem instead of being overfed in the dark and creating antibiotic resistant bacteria. Meat doesn’t just grow out of plastic bags in the back of Walmart

LOVE the way You tell and all the knowledge behind. 😁👍. I would like to start a discussion on domestic animals. On Otters on Japan. Big cats in Russia. So new domestication. Trends and facts.
I can't stand these trends toward "domesticating" wild animals like otters and wild cats. Dogs and cats - HOUSE cats - have lived with human beings for thousands of years, and have evolved to be compatible with humans. Our domestication of them was practical, not self-indulgent; they met a need (dogs protected us and helped us hunt, then later on protected livestock too; cats killed rodents that went after our grains) and in exchange we fed and sheltered them. But we only kept (and bred) the ones that we could share our homes with, not the ones who messed all over our floors, destroyed our possessions, bit our kids, or savagely attacked every visitor. A lot of the wild was bred out of dogs and cats in the process. I don't know why a dog or cat isn't a good enough animal companion for some people, especially when there are so many of them in shelters needing homes.
I had a Capybara as a pet and they can have very different personalities. Mine accidentally bit my girlfriend and was vert upset for the rest of the day. She was feeding her a cookie and had a finger where the Capybara could not see it. It did not even break the skin and she laughed it off immediately. There had been two Capybara for sale when I got mine but that one would bite folks at any opportunity. Another that I met in a zoo and approached the wall with the same gesture mine had used wanting a scratch. When I reached over the wall it tried to bite me and I was able to snack my hand away just in time, but one tooth grazed the hand and peeled away the top layer of skin better than a razor. I think this is true of most animals with more brains than a mouse, and perhaps some with less if you got to know them as indivituals.
If we count unexpectedly killing other animals, sugar gliders (which are misnamed bird hunters), possums (lately seen eating kangaroos), and chipmunks (which regularly eat snakes).
Provoking the most harmless animal or human beyond their limit can result in them becoming a killer. People must stop provoking, tormenting wild animals. Give them their space, they can kill an adult male lion, so a puny human is no contest
In a Readers Digest book on all the Australian creatures that bite, it stated that a wombat once ran towards a person knocking them to the ground. The person fell hit ting their head and died sometime later. While large red kangaroos will attack humans, this is the only attack I have heard of by a wombat but don't think it was malicious.
Here in Southeast Texas(Houston) our bayous/creeks and lakes are full on invasive Nutri. I've seen a few that have been hit by cars and they have Huge teeth!👀
i have seen a short video on instagram of a capy (idk what type nor where) attacking someones dog- luckily no harm was done but the one to blame is the owner of the dog. the owner did nothing but smiled as his dog kept barking at the capy (standing very close to it) and as it tried to flee in the river the dog tried to snap at it, causing the capy to chase after right after it, the owner pulled his dog up into his arms and the capy then left into the water.
Perhaps but if I understand the statistics in Australia the most deadly animal in the country ( after humans) is the horse. i.e the animal that causes the greatest number of human deaths. There is no such thing as an animal that is absolutely safe and would never under any circumstances cause harm to a human.
Very good video, with new information. I'm more familiar with American English pronunciation, because most videos are post by Americans. But I loved your British pronunciation better! It's British, isn't it?
All smart animals, ourselves included, exhibit complex behaviors, and reactions. That 'incident' in Brazil, if it's the same one I heard of before; was totally the humans fault. There was an occasion where two drunk men harassed the dolphin, blocked his escape, pulled on his fins, stuck a bottle in his blow hole, along with pouring alcohol in his blowhole while the dolphin was trying to breathe. Imagine how that would feel if you came up for air, and got some idiot pouring alcohol down your nose as you take a breathe..🤦🏻♂️ I'd beat that man too...🤷🏻♂️
Some wild animals have been tamed-the ancestors of our domesticated animals. Of course, this was a process over thousands of years, and not every animal can or should be domesticated.
The females of the human species have been known to be very dangerous on occasion. One must always show kindness toward them, especially in marriage. Never mention their weight or try to limit their spending, or there may be consequences. If one should become agitated keep all poisons under lock and key, and hide weapons such as knives and pistols. And never ever get in their way in the kitchen, leave a burner on, criticize their driving, or throw away their coupons.
Never use their sewing scissors to cut something other than cloth. Above all, never remark that their dress makes them look fat, even if it's true and they've asked you for your "honest opinion".
@@robertcartwright4374 its true, and you know that dainty little towel that they hang in plain sight? well never dry your hands on that, its just for show...you're up...
Giraffe are the most intelligent of ruminants, iirc, and can form friendships with humans. *They hurt no one, ever, unless you start with them and then you regret it.* What would you expect they would do?
Surprised you didn’t include Swans, while many people love and appreciate them, myself included, they can be dangerous during nesting season. A chicago man was killed by a male mute swan that knocked him out of his kayak and drowned him because he was too close to the nesting female, they have also been seen attacking and killing goslings.
Many years ago, mid-90s, I was out with my parents and family friends on a pontoon boat near Shell Island in FL and we saw a group of wild dolphins. I had on a life preserver so I jumped into the water with them and hand fed them bait fish. It was before it "officially" became illegal fyi lol Anyway it was all fun and laughs until I noticed they seemed to be jostling for position to get fish from me. I could look down into the water below me and see them swimming all around. It didn't terrify me but I suddenly realized mayyyybe I should go ahead and say byebye to my new friends and get back in the boat. I felt safe because I thought they'd protect me from sharks but in my naivety I had no clue they could be dangerous. I got a great picture though! And a wild story. (See profile pic, changed it to my dolphin one)
Americans fear snakes, sharks, bears, and alligators yet fail to realize dogs are 10x deadlier than all of those animals combined. (For the U.S. at least)
I'm surprised that the giraffe killed the little girl. All animals made That God have some kind of defensive part about them. We can usually find that with the mother of the species. My condolences to the mother who lost her child. Now I'm very curious about why was she and daughter so close to that giraffe.
I worked with a guy who went on a bow hunting trip to South Africa (1). One of the hunting permits available which he did not get was for giraffe. One day he's sitting in a hunting blind in a tree and falls asleep. He wakes up to find a giraffe staring at him. 1) What ever your ethical opinions on hunting it was tightly controlled. Shoot something and the permit is used. Even if you do not recover the animal. The hunting camp got the loin cuts. The local employees took everything else. The only thing the hunter could take was the skin or cape (skin from the neck up and horns). Even if the animal was not recovered it was no different to the local ecosystem than if the animal died of natural causes due to the carcass then feeding the scavenger species.
I thought something similar when he said that. I imagine what he meant is that we can't expect to fully tame wild individuals, with creating domesticated versions of the species through selective breeding being a different matter.
@@James-kv6kb I can definitely believe that! My guess is that the sentiment in this video is that even a properly trained lion/tiger/bear etc. will still be naturally and inherently more wild than an animal than has been fully tame for many generations, no matter what we can train them to do. I'm sure there are exceptions, and varying perspectives on how true that is, but it definitely seems less ridiculous than claiming that taming is completely impossible as the video seemed to me to be doing at first glance!
Thank! Interesting info! I heard of parents putting honey on their hands for bears to lick off, I think that at least on one occassion, it ended very bacly for the child. Some parents have no brains.
That may be an apocryphal tale, but it's true that people can be very stupid when it comes to bears. When I was a kid I once saw (from the safety of my parents' car) a grizzly bear charging down a hill on the side of a highway in the Yukon, toward a bunch of kids whose parents thought it was a good idea to let them get out of the car to have a closer look, too close for the bear's comfort, it turned out. Never saw kids run so fast. It turned out the bear was only bluffing and he stopped the charge halfway down the hill and went back up, but there were no people out of their cars after that.
Given your chosen subject, one might naturally suppose that you are a qualified zoologist, specialising in animal behaviour. If so, you have chosen an extremely wide - not to say challenging - range of very different types of attacking and/or defensive animal reactions to a variety of threats in order to make this video. Otherwise, I can only assume that you have for some reason or other chosen to line up a ragbag selection of short videos, and have done some very basic research in order to present what some more credulous people may regard as a serious study of the subject. On the whole, judging by your somewhat mediocre voice-over presentation and your apparent difficulty with reading a script, I would take a guess that the latter is more likely to be the case, and so I ask myself the question: why on earth did you make the video in the first place?
Honestly surprised there haven't been any fatalities caused by orangutans, considering how often they've been trafficked and mistreated

There had been two Capybara for sale when I got mine but that one would bite folks at any opportunity. Another that I met in a zoo and approached the wall with the same gesture mine had used wanting a scratch. When I reached over the wall it tried to bite me and I was able to snack my hand away just in time, but one tooth grazed the hand and peeled away the top layer of skin better than a razor. I think this is true of most animals with more brains than a mouse, and perhaps some with less if you got to know them as indivituals.
I’d like to recommend a video like animals with the pickiest diet or maybe animals with STDs
If we count unexpectedly killing other animals, sugar gliders (which are misnamed bird hunters), possums (lately seen eating kangaroos), and chipmunks (which regularly eat snakes).
Provoking the most harmless animal or human beyond their limit can result in them becoming a killer. People must stop provoking, tormenting wild animals. Give them their space, they can kill an adult male lion, so a puny human is no contest
Dolphins don't usually kill on porpoise.
Anything that's survived 13 billion years of evolution is definitely not harmless.
i did hear that a manatee killed a crocodile once. but i haven't found any proof on the internet
In a Readers Digest book on all the Australian creatures that bite, it stated that a wombat once ran towards a person knocking them to the ground. The person fell hit ting their head and died sometime later. While large red kangaroos will attack humans, this is the only attack I have heard of by a wombat but don't think it was malicious.
Here in Southeast Texas(Houston) our bayous/creeks and lakes are full on invasive Nutri. I've seen a few that have been hit by cars and they have Huge teeth!👀
i have seen a short video on instagram of a capy (idk what type nor where) attacking someones dog- luckily no harm was done but the one to blame is the owner of the dog.
the owner did nothing but smiled as his dog kept barking at the capy (standing very close to it) and as it tried to flee in the river the dog tried to snap at it, causing the capy to chase after right after it, the owner pulled his dog up into his arms and the capy then left into the water.
Durban representing😂 my giraffe experiences have all been pleasant fortunately
Yeah, giraffes are not just really long horses.
Perhaps but if I understand the statistics in Australia the most deadly animal in the country ( after humans) is the horse. i.e the animal that causes the greatest number of human deaths. There is no such thing as an animal that is absolutely safe and would never under any circumstances cause harm to a human.
Very good video, with new information. I'm more familiar with American English pronunciation, because most videos are post by Americans. But I loved your British pronunciation better! It's British, isn't it?
All smart animals, ourselves included, exhibit complex behaviors, and reactions.
That 'incident' in Brazil, if it's the same one I heard of before; was totally the humans fault.
There was an occasion where two drunk men harassed the dolphin, blocked his escape, pulled on his fins, stuck a bottle in his blow hole, along with pouring alcohol in his blowhole while the dolphin was trying to breathe.
Imagine how that would feel if you came up for air, and got some idiot pouring alcohol down your nose as you take a breathe..🤦🏻♂️
I'd beat that man too...🤷🏻♂️
Some wild animals have been tamed-the ancestors of our domesticated animals. Of course, this was a process over thousands of years, and not every animal can or should be domesticated.

The females of the human species have been known to be very dangerous on occasion. One must always show kindness toward them, especially in marriage. Never mention their weight or try to limit their spending, or there may be consequences. If one should become agitated keep all poisons under lock and key, and hide weapons such as knives and pistols. And never ever get in their way in the kitchen, leave a burner on, criticize their driving, or throw away their coupons.
Never use their sewing scissors to cut something other than cloth. Above all, never remark that their dress makes them look fat, even if it's true and they've asked you for your "honest opinion".
@@robertcartwright4374 its true, and you know that dainty little towel that they hang in plain sight? well never dry your hands on that, its just for show...you're up...

That's why they are my favourite Animals😂

🐬: unfortunately I use murder as a response to peer pressure
Giraffe are the most intelligent of ruminants, iirc, and can form friendships with humans. *They hurt no one, ever, unless you start with them and then you regret it.* What would you expect they would do?
Surprised you didn’t include Swans, while many people love and appreciate them, myself included, they can be dangerous during nesting season. A chicago man was killed by a male mute swan that knocked him out of his kayak and drowned him because he was too close to the nesting female, they have also been seen attacking and killing goslings.
Compared to humans there's no animal - none - that is so inclined to murderous behavior.
Not sure if it's okay to blame the victim.
Many years ago, mid-90s, I was out with my parents and family friends on a pontoon boat near Shell Island in FL and we saw a group of wild dolphins. I had on a life preserver so I jumped into the water with them and hand fed them bait fish. It was before it "officially" became illegal fyi lol Anyway it was all fun and laughs until I noticed they seemed to be jostling for position to get fish from me. I could look down into the water below me and see them swimming all around. It didn't terrify me but I suddenly realized mayyyybe I should go ahead and say byebye to my new friends and get back in the boat. I felt safe because I thought they'd protect me from sharks but in my naivety I had no clue they could be dangerous. I got a great picture though! And a wild story. (See profile pic, changed it to my dolphin one)
Did you mention that orcas are the largest members of the dolphin family?
Seems like orcas and bottled nosed dolphins share a darkside.
I checked out the bizarre story about Margaret Howe Lovelle, how insane. She talks about it like it is nothing. How odd.
The fact that humans are not even at the top of the food chain people just say that becuase every animal can kill a human
Americans fear snakes, sharks, bears, and alligators yet fail to realize dogs are 10x deadlier than all of those animals combined.
(For the U.S. at least)
I'm surprised that the giraffe killed the little girl. All animals made That God have some kind of defensive part about them. We can usually find that with the mother of the species. My condolences to the mother who lost her child. Now I'm very curious about why was she and daughter so close to that giraffe.
Imagine being named the lesser capibara 😭
“Really, it is impossible to tame wild animals”. Ok, than how do you explain the domestication of dogs from wolves?
I love how everyone sees capybaras as dumb defenseless chill rodents
That poor dolphin
Girrafes have long necks because if it didnt itbwould be weird to see a floating head
Poor dolphin😢
Sick humans🤮
tht dolphin has every right too hate humans. humans suck.
If one cant "talk" to annials
Surprised you didn’t feature dogs
Everyone knows that canines are very dangerous.
This is my problem with dinosaur movies.
Good and clean. Good for kids to watch thank you.👍
I worked with a guy who went on a bow hunting trip to South Africa (1). One of the hunting permits available which he did not get was for giraffe. One day he's sitting in a hunting blind in a tree and falls asleep. He wakes up to find a giraffe staring at him.
1) What ever your ethical opinions on hunting it was tightly controlled. Shoot something and the permit is used. Even if you do not recover the animal. The hunting camp got the loin cuts. The local employees took everything else. The only thing the hunter could take was the skin or cape (skin from the neck up and horns). Even if the animal was not recovered it was no different to the local ecosystem than if the animal died of natural causes due to the carcass then feeding the scavenger species.
So did he kill it? If he did I hope he dies
@@Hoosje11
No, he did not.
@@mpetersen6 Good, giraffes are endangered as it is
Like way up in a tree the man was endangered by the giraffe. Sounds like a canned hunt, where animal comes right to you and you shoot it.
It's impossible to tame wild animals and yet we've been doing it for thousands of years
I thought something similar when he said that. I imagine what he meant is that we can't expect to fully tame wild individuals, with creating domesticated versions of the species through selective breeding being a different matter.
@@Jamie9727 I come from a performing a background and I've seen animals t
do amazing things when they are looked after properly and trained
@@James-kv6kb I can definitely believe that!
My guess is that the sentiment in this video is that even a properly trained lion/tiger/bear etc. will still be naturally and inherently more wild than an animal than has been fully tame for many generations, no matter what we can train them to do.
I'm sure there are exceptions, and varying perspectives on how true that is, but it definitely seems less ridiculous than claiming that taming is completely impossible as the video seemed to me to be doing at first glance!
Thank! Interesting info! I heard of parents putting honey on their hands for bears to lick off, I think that at least on one occassion, it ended very bacly for the child. Some parents have no brains.
That may be an apocryphal tale, but it's true that people can be very stupid when it comes to bears. When I was a kid I once saw (from the safety of my parents' car) a grizzly bear charging down a hill on the side of a highway in the Yukon, toward a bunch of kids whose parents thought it was a good idea to let them get out of the car to have a closer look, too close for the bear's comfort, it turned out. Never saw kids run so fast. It turned out the bear was only bluffing and he stopped the charge halfway down the hill and went back up, but there were no people out of their cars after that.
Eventually rushed?
Monke disrespecc
Capy pull it up to heaven

Camels also can kill with their bite
Cows and chickens have killed people too.
The chicken part is still hard to believe but I heard chickens kill people through salmonella.
Mostly cows
Sloth 🐻
... DONKEYS kick in all directions, seriously bite and can be very moody. You'd be surprised how many they kill.
Same with people, arent that nice
nope. all lies. they ain't harmful. nope. want believing the cutenesses are evil. that's a fairytale like unicorns, dragons, and a fair trial.
Given your chosen subject, one might naturally suppose that you are a qualified zoologist, specialising in animal behaviour. If so, you have chosen an extremely wide - not to say challenging - range of very different types of attacking and/or defensive animal reactions to a variety of threats in order to make this video. Otherwise, I can only assume that you have for some reason or other chosen to line up a ragbag selection of short videos, and have done some very basic research in order to present what some more credulous people may regard as a serious study of the subject. On the whole, judging by your somewhat mediocre voice-over presentation and your apparent difficulty with reading a script, I would take a guess that the latter is more likely to be the case, and so I ask myself the question: why on earth did you make the video in the first place?
Lol, no animals are harmless.
One would think that such a distinguished accent would also come with correct command of grammar. It should be " We humans often..."
Tom I honestly don't care but thanks for saying I have a distinguished accent
