Not much changed huh 😂

Seems fair!

How cats can simultaneously be perfectly evolved killing machines as well as the biggest goofballs will never not be hilarious to me
Google the _Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass_ character trope
not just that but to be a jaguar and eat just to get high what are they seeing?
Because they know they can't be fucked with.
Reminds me of Sukuna from JJK.
Especially orange cats
I watched this with my 9 lb Norwegian forest cat.
She ignored the big cats section, choosing instead to take a nap on my feet.
She started paying attention when the snow leopard showed up.
She definitely thought the cheetah was a bird.
She purred through the Pallas' cat section, but was confused by the lynxes.
She hated the caricals hissing
When the fishing cat showed up, she went to the foot of the bed to give herself a bath.
This is the only review I trust
What's your cat's rating of this video?
@@V1_Ultrakiller I asked her how many thumbs up she'd give it but she just glared at me because she doesn't have thumbs

That tiger had a full on John Wick backstory. 400 people is crazy
The most annoying thing about cats is they can sleep for 20+ hours a day and still be in better shape than any human who's obsessed with exercising; able to pakour all over the place, leap straight up more than their body length, sprint like crazy and I'm sure they could bench press twice their own body weight if given the opportunity.
My cat broke one of his rear legs and has a cast. SOMEHOW, he still zoombies at 3 am. Only it's LOUDER because his cast is going THUMPTHUMPTHUMP as he runs. The vet visit for the leg also uncovered the fact that his hips straight up dissolved. There is nothing connecting his back legs to his spine bone-wise. His song ends at the thighbone. And yet, he STILL zoombies, jumps, and everything else a cat does.
You eat only protein and see what happens.

He'll hop thru a hole in a screen door, but won't attempt the door itself. It's kinda nice, means he doesn't really try to get outside. But means if I screw up and the door to the litter box is too closed for him to simply slip thru... 🤷♂️
Leopards legit be out here playing real life assassin's creed
And they sure as hell don't need straw to break their fall.
8:17 Snow leopards wasn’t in the panthera genus until recently though. It was first the only cat in the genus Uncia, but was reclassified as a panthera eventually. That’s why it doesn’t really fit in with the rest of the panthers
I’d expect them to be in the same family as the Clouded Leopard. With CLs being closer to felines, and SLs being closer to panthers.
I THOUGHT they were in a different genus! I didn't know they were moved into panthera. Though, now that I think about it, I do remember learning a long time ago that it's closest relative was the Tiger, so I suppose it makes sense to be in panthera.
The clip of the Lynx solving a dispute by screaming at eachother (sounding like humans immitating cats badly) is exactly why 90% of Appalachian folklore is basically "if you heard something in the woods, no you didn't".
Edit: i didn't mean to imply that lynx are the only reason for these stories. There are way to many sources of weird noises to list, and just as many ways to die while wandering around the woods at 3am investigating weird noises. (animals, tripping, cliffs, and getting lost/turned around, ect)
Its also just simpler and more effective to say the woods are haunted than explaining the actual dangers. Plus its more fun to tell a ghost story than give a normal safety briefing.
“You don’t mess with the spookies”
Never investigate if it was a booger or not.
Just assume it was and quickly go back inside pretending you didn't hear anything.

The first time I ever saw an African Wildcat was in the zoo in San Antonio. It took us a few minutes to find it and when we did we were totally confused. I was pretty sure that this was some kind of inside joke the the zoo staff was playing on a credulous public, but eventually found out that, yes, that is absolutely what an African Wildcat looks like. If anyone is wondering why I didn't just pull out my phone and ask the Google machine, it's because that happened in 1990. You had to remember all of your questions and go to the actual library to get them answered. What a strange world that was!
Edit: I have the same confusion about the difference between a lynx and a bobcat, so I appreciate the basic answer you gave here. We need more cat videos from you.
"Lions get bodied religiously... And not just in Detroit."
You're not wrong 💀
Honestly breaking any and all rules possible is a pretty cat thing to do

Cats are my favorite animals, big or small. The idea something so ferocious is wrapped up in such a cuddly package has always fascinated me. I’m all about the sleeper.
Thank you for your videos! I have never heard another narrator for animal behavior do what you do, and I cannot get enough! The number of euphemisms you come up with for getting killed is mind blowing. Do not stop! PLEASE!!
Hey man I just crossed upon this video and I immediately loved it. Educational and funny makes a great combo. Thanks for sharing
I once saw a picture of a black panther standing right behind a jaguar while striking nearly the exact same pose as it, making it look like it was the jaguar’s shadow. It felt right out of an album cover to be frank.

@@BRIANNA_00 oh. So just someone who does not understand a very popular piece of figurative language.
Thank you so much for making this video. As a biologist the amount of times I've had to explain to people that black panthers/white tigers aren't a unique species and what's classified as a big cat are astounding. I hope that with how popular you are, this information reaches many people.
I guess not everyone was like me and had Wings, Paws, Hooves and Flippers teach me this as a kid.
The way I almost exploded when I heard my classmate say that white tigers are the most endangered species of tigers. And my teacher didn’t even correct them. We’re in an animal management course too lmao. If my social anxiety wasn’t so severe I would’ve said something
I get it, I'm specialized in zoarchaeology so its not quite zoology, but I pretty much deal with just animal remains in a human context and the amount of times I have had to explain these or similar concepts drives me nuts, and they still don't believe me! Its like ok what are you an electrician, remind me to tell you how to do your job next time we get together and see how well that goes.

The backstory is really funny

You deserve an emmy for "catamount to a panther".
This dude is awesome. Needs his own Netflix with his own vision
The way he said " Do they roar or purr, no."
Had me rolling for several minutes for no reason
They "nyan" 😸
When
As a botanist and ecologist, I have learned to just not pay too much attention to common names. They are confusing (as you've mentioned with the cats in your video) and in the plant world too often different species end up with the same name. Once you get to know the scientific names, the classification of species become a lot easier to understand 😊
As a current zoology & biology major in my final semester of college, I completely agree. Learning the scientific names just makes everything so much easier.
Common names can be annoying. Like why are there four different types of spider species referred to as a "daddy long legs"
@@enriquegarcia2790 That's why we stick to the scientific names in the tarantula hobby. One species could have around 2 to 7 different common names, and like "daddy long legs" some could cross over to other species.
@@xxghost_preyxx none of you are any of those things lol 😂 too many be on here lying
@@enriquegarcia2790
It's worse than that honestly.
It can refer to Pholcid spiders, Harvestmen (which are spiderlike arachnids but not spiders), and craneflies (insects, not arachnids)
The jaguar getting high made me laugh out loud
13:24 IDK why that particular quote gets me so hard
So if I'm understanding correctly, "panther" is merely an umbrella term to describe the big cats. My mind is boggled.
It’s the genus. Like Homo sapiens for people. We are the last of the genus. There used to be homo erectus, homo habilus, etc. They’re just panthera Tigris, Panthera Leo, etc
@@Jedimindkillerjrwe just interbreed with the others and for some reason our genes became dominate also i think we reproduce quicker i believe could be wrong on the last bit
Define "big cat"
@@coldmoonlight6361Modern taxonomy is defined by an ancestor and all its descendants, usually marked by unsatisfying subtle and/or internal traits. Since divergence and convergence can so often make any easy descriptive traits meaningless for tracking relation.
@@coldmoonlight6361 I don't even know anymore.
My uncle rescued an orphaned cougar once. He managed to train her to be a "hunting dog". I didn't really understand until I was older why I wasn't allowed to pet the big kitty. I'm good with my majestic house panther, I don't care that he's not a big cat, he's a big cat in spirit.
Cougar and possibly most other cats cannot be trained to hunt cooperatively with human, unlike dog and falcon. But there are some exception; cheetah and caracal historically were kept by Middle East and Indian hunter as "hunting cat"
@@prasetyodwikuncorojati2434 I guess you could claim that domestic cats hunt cooperatively with humans in that they will merk anything and bring it to you.
Okay, but serious question: if you ever did pet the house panther, how soft was its fur compared to a domestic cat?
(This channel once said that tiger fur is soft, and I've been heavily invested in 'how soft are the unpetable cats' ever since.)

I have never had so much fun learning as I do with you! Keep up the great work.
The mention of cheetahs sounding like birds cracked me up because my conure started making sounds back when we heard the cheetah
I’d prefer to hear the roar of a big cat over a mountain lion screaming like a woman getting iced any day. I’m not joking, they actually do that and I have unironically lost sleep over it.
In a way, they are the serial killer's best friend.
Bobcats are the same.
Scariest thing while camping is taking a shit in the woods at night and hearing a mountain lion screaming in the distance
@@raine-timeno, taking a shit in the woods at night and hearing one scream in the tree above you.
Lynxes also scream like that, walked home late one night, and ehard tha screams from the forest. I have never run as fast as I did that night haha
Looking for the tiger with the eyes of a deer sent a chill down my spine. It all makes sense how bright orange could work as camouflage and how badly a white tiger would stick out
Tbf even creatures not blind to orange have a hard time seeing tigers cause during daytime the orange and black can camo the tiger perfectly in forests where sunlight and shadows mingle between tree trunks.
White tigers were created in captivity, and can only be found there. They literally can't exist in the wild.

Once I watched a documentary where a tigress noticed fish flopping in a dried up waterhole and learned that during droughts she could eat those and there was even footage of her taking her cubs and showing then and one of her cubs later in life doing the same thing during droughts. I thought it was so interesting and cool
Not very cool for the fish
What a versatile critters
There is a lot we don't know about animal communication. Within my lifetime we have learned that animals like crows can teach others what they know and that they will actually remember. We only learned recently that even trees can communicate with each other via fungus, and certain species of trees will actually tell false information to other trees to maintain resources for themselves

I have a Norwegian forest cat (found him in an alley as a kitten) and he does the tail thing when he's cold. He's also really good at trudging through piles of stuffed animals and loves lying in front of my air conditioner. This animal was built for Russia and wound up living in sunny Southern California.
(yes he's been enjoying the weather recently)
Adorable. How could someone leave a beautiful kitty like that in a random alley. Bless you❤
Do u need to shave it for summer?

By the way, I love cats too and Jaguars are my favorite as well. A few of those small cats I didn’t know about so it was fun learning about them.

I’ve lived in the Mountains most my life. I still get chills hearing the sound of a “screaming woman” in the dead of night. For those who don’t know it’s a Mountain Lion. A lot of folks don’t know the true beauty of the beast.
😧 Yeah, that sounds real... beautiful. 😅
I went on vacation in the Vermont mountains as a child. One night we heard the screaming. 😂 “What’s that? Oh, cool!” -from the safety of the cabin. Can’t remember if it was two screaming back and forth or if there was a disagreement with some audacious raccoons. If it wasn’t with raccoons, then that same trip had raccoons fighting nearby another night.
And this is why we have ghost stories, its just easier to say an area is haunted than to explain all the wildlife and other natural hazards.
Everyone gets freaked out by a ghost story when they hear a mysterious woman's haunting scream, but some idiots will want to find the cougar and pet/photograph it, which will end in a mauling.
My mom and her sister ran into one on a walk in the woods. She said its scream was the single most horrifying sound she has heard to date.

Catamount is a shortened form of what they were called in the past "The Cat of the Mountain". It comes from around the Carolinas and Tennessee in the Appalachian Mountains. Its not very common, but its what I call them and have called them for my whole life.
I have never seen a “catamount” in Tennessee or either Carolina before

They're in Tennessee now-!
@@zsu-23-4shilka2 They were extinct in said areas until recently on account of hunting and territory loss. (I believe, don't quote me on that.)
How do you not have mountain lions? They love Appalachia, saw plenty on my hiking trips through there. We have a family that lives near my childhood home but I'm afraid some real estate company will eventually take their home from them :(
They are called that in northern Appalachia as well. The University of Vermont even has the nickname “the Catamounts.”
8:25 I was playing this through the speakers on my phone, and the sound of the cougar’s “roar” made my cat perk up like “dafuq was that?”

@@DirtyDruid Very, very, very much not. Savannahs are like the wolfdog of cats. They're more wild than not and this is an exception (like a smart orange cat, or a quiet siamese cat).

@@Rapture-nv5vj Housecats are actually domesticated wild cats, specifically from the Middle East and North Africa though. But they are the same species and can reproduce with each other anyway.
@@Oscar97o* semi domesticated
@@Oscar97oFun fact: House cats aren’t actually domesticated. They’re technically “semi domesticated”, but just barely. They’re still over 99% identical to wild cats. We didn’t even _begin_ to selectively breed cats until the late 1800s.
I can’t express how much I love this video. It lives in my head rent free and it is my theme song each morning. 1000/10
But first a word from our sponsors...theres no sponsors...
I was cracking up. Thanks for the laughs, i love it, your soo funny. Keep up the GREAT VIDEOS.
Can we just talk for a second about how epic this guy’s terms for Game over are 😂
Bro casually drops all star hip hop quotables at an insane rate.
His terms for everything are pure gold xD
It's the biggest reason I watch his videos

13:47 The house cat has to sit and calculate for like 10 minutes. Meanwhile, this mofo just roughly eyeballs it and does it perfectly
You pick ANY athletic sport, there's a good chance a cat is doing it better than you.
we're talking about house cats and wild cats though@@jahrusalem3658
@@jahrusalem3658 Hammer throw?
@@rakkis1576 I mean, Tigers are pretty fucken strong, if they got the right grip with their mouths and spun around? I'm not too sure on hammer throw.
@@jahrusalem3658ans also like in the video a leapord just carried a baby rhino to a tree so..
To this day I'm still convinced that giant-sized doggo's would be our giant-sized friends. While giant-sized domestic cats would hunt us to extinction.
Yeh, imagine breeding a cat equivalent of a Great Dane.
@@Sawrattanso a Maine Coon?
If we had giant doggos we would probably ride them around like Princess Mononoke. Cats? Probably not safe to do, and even if it were, the giant kitties would just lie down and take naps at inconvenient times.
Aren’t these just wolves?
This cat is my school mascot 😅😂🥲 15:38
This guy needs his own documentary channel on TV also 🤣
"Strawberry FLAVOURED leopard" yummy! 🤣

Just keep sharing, keep on sharing!!!
He is a really cool narrator tho, right!! Makes learning more funner! 😅
4:06 Man look at that jawline, they did Tai Lung just right 😆
EDIT: 4:34 Okay I think Dreamworks definitely did that tail bite scene because of this 🤣
Yea they did😂
I love how they made Tai Lung insultingly acrobatic too, like real Snow Leopards. Remember that scene on the rope-bridge, where he just casually messes with the balance of the bridge with no problem, meanwhile Tigress has to keep readjusting her stance?
Tysmfor giving leopards some light literally my fav
I love how Runescape music has just become fair game for background music
12:59 That perfectly cut scream between those two Canadian lynx’s
As a Canadian biologist (at least on paper) I can tell the difference between a lynx and bobcat. Lynx have ear tufts and are ganglier, and mostly follow the showshoe hare in terrain and population. Lynx tail is black, bobcat tail is banded.
I knew someone who had a pet serval. It was nuts. It's a wild animal they were treating like a cat cat. Also, today I learned how to spell serval.
I've also never heard a Fisher called a Fisher Cat. Not that Fisher makes it easy to talk about. "no like a big weasel. not that big thats a wolverine. no not an otter.. "
Biologist. I swear...
New England native and avid hiker here.
Fisher Cat is the term in the North Eastern US for the vicious little bastards.... crazy cool animals but mean as hell if you or god forbid your pet run into them.
Lived in the South West for a long time and I totally know what you mean when it comes to describing them to people. "They are basically what happens when you cross the temperament of a wolverine with the size of a mountain lion and the appetite of a wolf....."
Saw a picture of a hunter back home holding one that was over six feet long.... Fishers are crazy lol
Also as a side note since you are a biologist. New England Catamounts are slightly different to your average cougar. Little smaller, little longer. Until very recently thought to be extinct until our idiotic hunting laws (deer were literally starving to death due to overpopulation) brought them back up in numbers. Now wolves are also being seen in new england for the first time in nearly 250 years after Israel Putnam supposedly killed the last one in modern day Mashamoquet (Mash-ah-muck-et) State Park in Connecticut. Nature is crazy lol
@@herrikudo Cool! I don't know dicks about cougars, no large animals on my island. We do have Coywolves though, I've read some papers that show a clear genetic difference. Biggest wild terrestrial animal we have. I've been "hunted" by them a couple times. "Don't go into the long grass!" I've never sen a wild cat.
As a kid I didn't understand why our coyotes didn't look anything like what I saw on tv.
They're here naturally but also haven't been here as long as I have. Crossed the ice in the late 80s/ early 90s.
Couple months ago we had a confirmed deer for the first time in a long time, also came over the ice. And was immediately hit by a truck.
I love your channel I learn so much about outside without going outside . It's great ☺️
I'm so glad you mentioned the black footed cat. It's crazy that the most lethal cat in the world is only like 4 pounds.
I just want to know which friend decided to argue with you and thought they’d win this on this one.
Right? They really argued with the walking Pokedex and stood their ground long enough to almost lose a friendship?
@@Anniekitty1016That friend must be pretty stupid, then. If that's how you're describing them.
Fun fact! Vikings (in Norway i believe) used to give their newlywed daughters a cat for their house as the goddess of fertility Freya has a carriage pulled by cats:) also these cats are endemic to that region (can’t remember what they are called though oops)
That’s very interesting to know, so then did they gift their sons Ravens for Odin?.
They are called norwegian forest cats
Ah the Norwegian Forest cat with the short name “Wegie” lol
Yeah I have one and I love him so much. I didn’t realize how much they meant to their culture until I researched more about them since I wanted to make sure I was properly caring for mine
Norwegian Forest Cats.
@@Kingsaxxy3872 no, but Odin is not as strongly tied to masculinity as Freyja is for femininity so that's fair.
10:00 fun fact: there's a fantasy novel by Michael Peak called Catamount, about a mountain lion teaming up with a bald eagle to find mates for each other.
That's a solid intro 🤣🤣
Also love the Meta Ridley theme. We're friends now.
4:03 - Ice Climbers theme from Super Smash Bros Melee
4:47 - Ropey Rampage from Donkey Kong Country
6:26 - Meta Ridley’s theme from Metroid Prime 1 and 3: Corruption
thank you
Now you're just plain showing off.
0:21 - Inside Peach's Castle from Super Mario 64
13:00 - Gerudo Desert theme from Zelda: Twilight Princess
Plus some other mario music scattered throughout, I recognize the music but they're definitely more modern spinoffs of older tunes so I'm not sure what games they're from (I'm guessing New Super Mario Bros. based on CG's video description)
Niiice.
