In my area we have western rattlesnakes - which are easily avoided. But we also have cougar and bobcat. They are both people shy, but will attack if cornered. We also have coyote which never attack humans. Our sheep and cattle and the local elk and deer have been attacked by the cougar and the bobcat. The coyote prefers smaller animals, lamb, calf and deer fauns. But also, newborn lambs have been taken by golden eagles - the largest bird of prey in the area. I personnally have been bit by a hobo spider. It wasn in blanket that burrowed and it wasn't fun.

They're pretty harmless - except if you're in a vehicle. We have signs in NH all over that say, "Brake for moose. It could save your life." Most people there have known someone who was killed in a car crash with a moose. I knew a few. When it comes to moose and vehicle accidents, they're incredibly deadly.
@@aj897 OK, so what was the reason why? The how was using dogs. The OP is correct, if you see a cougar it's because it wanted you to or didn't care. They can disappear at will.
With the gators some of those men are from a gator sanctuary in South Florida and they had a tv show where they would remove nuisance gators. They are true pros who really care about the animals
A friend of mine who grew up in Wisconsin told me of the day when she was in school and the teacher told them they couldn't go outside during recess because there was a bear in the schoolyard. I am glad I lived in Connecticut where the worst thing you would find when I was young would be a stray dog.
I live in Florida. If there is a pond or lake or gold course with a small pond for an obstacle. Just assume there is an alligator in it cause there usually is. We almost never swim or walk are dogs near ponds in Florida.
I got close to a buffalo in Yellowstone. It didn't know because it was a wooded area and snuck up and stayed behind trees while it was watching other more careful tourists.
Yea he messed a lot of things up and ranking is just in random order it's not even the right order plus the great white shark is only there cause the stereotype that they are killing machines also why is moose not first it's second too the hippo in the most dangerous animals in the world.
Living in Missouri, the most "dangerous" animals you might encounter are coyotes, black bears, coral snakes and cottonmouths, and brown recluse and black widow spiders.
He's absolutely kind of wrong about the great white most great white attacks happen because of mistaken identity. More shark attacks happened from tiger sharks or bull sharks
if you want to see a movie about the great white shark, try Jaws (1975). It was directed by Steven Spielsberg. They used a fake shark at some parts. It's like a horror movie with funny parts to distract you from the horror.
Correction It's a stereotype pitbulls are not as dangerous as people think chihuahua are more aggressive statistically. Pitbulls are, however, preferred for dog fighting Because of their muscular body and broad shoulders. It is how you raise them just like any other kid. After all, they used to be nanny dogs.
My pitbull got stung on the paw by a scorpion while I was walking her. Her paw swelled perfectly round like a golf ball. I'm a truck driver and it was impossible to get her to a vet. We were in the middle of nowhere. She pounded her paw on the truck floor repeatedly all night. The swelling was gone several hours later. She's a very sweet, super friendly, docile dog.
My pittie has been attacked by kids and kittens both and thinks it's the best game ever! The only prob is that he knows how strong his cuteness and smoosh are and he will use these to manipulate you!
Pitbulls are actually very sweet dogs and were used as nanny dogs back in the day. It's the owners that are the real issue but that's something that is glossed over by too many people.
I’m surprised they skipped over the other venomous snakes. Rattle snakes, copperheads, water moccasins, etc. are common in the southern half of the country and they’re typically fatal with no treatment.
Wish I could show the pics of the Black Bear that hangs out where I work. We drag our bins inside at night so that we don't have to pick it up from everywhere in the morning. We had a customer come in once and tell us he was outside, so EVERYONE in the store goes outside to see, which scared him, and he turned around and left towards the woods. Yes, we filmed and took pics. I'm still waiting for him to walk right into the store one night, as our doors are automatic...
You won't see a cougar (mountain lion) early. They keep themselves hidden until they are ready to strike. But they don't typically see people as food. Small children and pets though.
About the corral snake. There is a king snake, that is not venomous, with the same coloring. You can tell which one is deadly by a little phrase. When red touches yellow it is a dangerous fellow. The king snake doesn’t have red next to yellow.
It is all on the person that owns the pitbull dog. My friend has one that always has to sleep next to me. Sweetest dog, he just wants to cuddle all time.
8:39 Moose are built weird. Spindly legs and a body shaped more like container barrel on it's side. I know what you mean. The legs are quite sturdy with very sharp hoofs. The body is all muscle (got to pet one thru a fence). If you hit one in a car, it could collapse the interior on top of you. In the US like most of the rest of the world, the mosquito is probably the most dangerous animal here.
The Coral snake and the King snake look very similar. One is venomous and one is not. Looking at the color bands will tell you which is which. The saying goes: "Red on black is a friend of Jack, red on yellow will kill a fellow. It's best just to keep clear either way.
This list is highly suspect. While coral snake venom is potent, encounters with them are very rare and their fangs are tiny. I’m not sure they could get a good bite thru denim. They definitely can’t get thru a leather boot. Now rattlesnakes are a different story. All are dangerous, but Mojave greens and either diamondback are the worst. Just hope they give you warning…..
@@jeffreynolds922 I know, just wanted to mention this since some people forget that this rhyme is only for the US and try to use it in other countries with very unfortunate results.
Cougars are extremely stealthy and do not often show themselves. They hunt by catching their prey by surprise. So, if you see a cougar, it is not very good news for you. The best thing you can do is square off and try to convince it that you are not prey. If you run, it will chase you. Cougars prefer attacking smaller prey, so children and smaller women are, unfortunately, at more risk than larger males. And don't let Fifi off the leash. Cougars have been known to grab small dogs out for walks with their owners. In fact, they have been known to attack dogs even on a leash -- and the person never knew the cougar was there until too late.
The other list, albeit poorer quality, is more accurate. Sharks don't even hunt people, and attacks are extremely rare. It's the herbivorous animals that end up causing more fatalities. Also, black bears may be smaller than grizzly bears, but black bears are more likely to prey on and eat people.
Careful James ... tonight you might find that she proves she can lift one, when you wake up to find her standing over you, holding a bowling-ball over either your large or small head!😳
I think the top 10 is mostly accurate but would put Grizzly Bears number 1 as the most vicious and most feared. I believe there have been more deaths due to Grizzly attacks than any other animal on the top 10. I would put Mountain Lions number 2. Great topic.
I have a pitbull and he is the sweetest most cowardly dog I’ve ever seen! My neighbor had tall potted plants outside their home and he was scared to walk past them 😂 didn’t even bark, just cowered and refused to go by it!
My little cousin's face almost got ripped off by a pitbull. All kinds of reconstructive surgery. I'll shoot everyone I have a legal right to. No tears. Do some research into what is happening in Detroit. These things are now like pack animals.
Cowardly is actually not a good sign. Animals will attack out of fear. If your Pitbull really is skittish, seek training from a professional to address any issues. Sweet is irrelevant. Dogs that are sweet to members of their pack, i.e. you, have attacked and killed neighbors and even family members.
@@seanbradley5614 He's not skittish, he is great but he has his quirks. I have had him for 10 years and he is trained, never an incident/issue with him when meeting people :) thanks though
Pit's are so sweet until they're not. haha. and yeah it really depends on the owner. I dog sit one who"s 90 lbs. and could tear me apart. We wrestle and he's very gentle so I don't think he'd kill something he loves. But I'm sure if the opportunity came, he would.
I have a pit and she's a complete sweetheart, she loves absolutely everyone. She's the third pit I've had and they've all been sweet and gentle. My previous two were older boys that I rescued and they didn't have a mean bone in their body.
I totally agree. Unfortunately, the idiots who breed them for fighting have also accentuated physical characteristics that can be lethal when the dogs are trained to be hostile. So, I am always extremely cautious when I see a pit bull (and some other breeds) because I do not know their disposition.
Absolutely. Mine is my baby. We raised her right and the only time she is aggravated is when she senses I'm in danger. But one word from her and she's back to trying to stick her tongue in your face.
In the US, just don't bother swimming in the ocean. Up in the northeast, it's far too cold, even mid-summer, but you're pretty safe otherwise. On the west coast, you have sharks and pollution. In the southeast, you have sharks, jellyfish, sea snakes, and about a dozen other things that can hurt you. Fun fact - alligators also occasionally swim in the oceans to kill off the parasites attached to their bodies. It's not uncommon to see an alligator in the ocean near the mouth of a river. I live 5 minutes from the beach, and I love the beach - but I only swim in pools. I don't even dip my toes in the ocean down here in the southeast.
That video understated the size/potency/danger of all those creatures by more than half, a lot more. And pitbulls just snap, no matter how you raise or train them. They were a bad idea and they need to cease from existing.
I came here to say much the same thing, but was beaten by a bot. The bull shark in Florida, especially the gulf coast side is more fearful than the great white. I'm sure Australia cringed. and just as jim said they swim up freshwater rivers. I live in Florida. I love the freshwater and salt water, but I understand that when I step into the water that I am no longer top of the food chain. We always keep our eyes open.
My cousin has 4 American Pitbull Terriers, and my sister has 1. They are all sweethearts. As with any animal (or person for that matter) has the potential to be dangerous.
A Cougar or Mountain Lion, as it’s called in some parts, is a predator. Just like with all predators, you NEVER turn your back and you NEVER run. They are amazing creatures. I have Black Bears at my job. They are totally awesome but you leave them alone they will leave you alone. Black Widows are one of several species that it’s really horrible being the guy in the relationship. Praying Mantises do the same thing. A full grown Moose can weigh upwards of 1600 pounds. It’s also known to be able to derail trains. Great White sharks are definitely dangerous creatures, but I personally would rank a Bull Shark equal to the Great White or above it. The reasons being one Bull Sharks are more aggressive and two Bull Sharks are one of the few animals able to survive in fresh water and in salt water.
Black bears are incredibly docile. They almost never attack. You have to really go out of your way to piss off a black bear enough for it to attack you. Check out the stats. Other bears are way more dangerous, though.
And these are just some of the animals we have. There’s also bobcats, wolves, brown recluse, spider, fire ants, wild hogs, rattlesnakes, of course, copperheads and cottonmouth snakes. You can also find polar bears in Alaska, and recently jaguars have been spotted near Texas border.
The Southwest was once part of the Jaguar's range, but now all you see is a wandering loner who may come over. The northern most point of it's current range is basically parts of Mexico now.
The two pitties I currently have snuggling and snoring on me would disagree with this video's bonus. I've owned a lot of different dogs in my life and I've never owned a sweeter one.
I've had several bad experiences where a pit bull has stolen blankets in the middle of the night. Okay, fine, he's my pittie, and he is highly manipulative because he knows how cute and smooshy he is.
Idk if u guys can get it in Jersey, but look up Gator Boys on UA-cam. Its a group of people who save gators from people and people from gators. They don’t kill them, they try to re-home them and give them better lives. Its pretty cool.
There is nothing wrong with Pit Bulls as a breed, however there are two main reasons they are responsible for so many fatal dog attacks. 1) Their owners trained them that way, or abused them to the point the dog became mean, and 2) Most dogs, when attacking something/someone, will bite down on their prey, either holding that bite or pulling away, Pitts instinctually start chewing, which can can a lot more damage. Pitt Bulls as a breed were ordinally bred for dog fighting, which is why a lot of bad dog owners want them, and why so many people fear them. If you raise a Pitt right, show it love, and make it a part of your family, that dog will fight and die for you and your family.
The info this guy gave was wrong more then right, he said Brown bears get up to 6.8 ft FALSE they can get up to and over 10 ft. I have seen several over 13 ft. (I live and hunt in Alaska where the largest brown bears live) and He has moose at #3 but #1 is and probably always will be Moose as the most dangerous.
Pitbulls are not dangerous. I have 2 Pitbulls. It's the owners. In the early 1900's, pitbulls were known as the nanny dog. They were used to watch kids.
Yellowstone is famous for its high concentration of tourons (the moronic subspecies of tourists). The mingling of tourons who think they're entitled to closeup selfies with bison in Yellowstone guarantees several maulings every year. Unfortunately, the touron is far from an endangered species.
I’ve seen this before. As noted, the narrator is 100% incorrect about the historic range of the bison. I’m in Illinois and there was a cougar that was hit by a car a couple counties over. Very sad. No bears by me but I’ve seen plenty in northern Wisconsin and Michigan. I’ve only seen moose while canoeing In Quetico provincial park, Ontario. Lots of alligators in Florida. Got way too close in the Everglades. Stupid me! I suspect more people are killed by collisions with white tailed deer than with great white sharks. Pitties get a bad rap. Blame the owners. I’ve known some really sweet Pitties. Having said that I had a crazy Dalmatian. Miss that boy.
Pit Bulls it can be a yea or nay. There is a certain amount of instinct that goes along with different dog breeds as well as treatment. My border collie despite being raised indoors is very high energy and tries to herd the humans and cats. I think also when you have a tragedy with a pitbull often the owner forgets that these different dog breeds exist for a reason. Pit Bulls were bred for bull baiting and dog fighting and that instinct can be in there. My cousin's sweet dog that all the children played with mauled his mother when she made an unexpected sound and he had to have it put down.
There are fake coral snakes too, that are similar but not dangerous. The easiest way to tell the difference is the true coral snake has a round, black head. The others have red, pointed heads. The color bands vary too, but the easiest to remember is the difference in their head shape and color. When I was a kid I caught several king snakes that look like the coral, but never saw a true coral. I don't even know if we have them in Arkansas.
Black bears aren't really a worry. You encounter one and it will almost always walk away or ignore you. I have Black Widows around my house outside. I have killed 4 this year. Not fun
When our kids were very young, we lived for a year and a half in southern Georgia. On the army base playground there was a sign that said, "Beware of alligators."
I live in a very small town in northeast Oklahoma. For about 2 weeks people have been seeing a juvenile cougar (mountain lion, puma) in the area. My daughter said it ran across her driveway earlier today, around dusk. pretty animals-but dangerous. All the dogs have taken to hiding in their houses at night. It gets eerily quiet at times at night.
I have a black bear in my backyard. I caught him sniffing around my fire pit the other night. He's been fairly friendly, but I never go into my woods without a dog and my Taurus Raging Bull revolver. I hope I don't have to shoot a bear, but that 454 Casull revolver will smoke it if need be.
A bear. I live in Maine and while they say that a black bear will usually be more afraid of us, there is no guarantee. They can be unpredictable. Best to make noise while walking or jogging along a trail. You don't want to surprise to hide.a wild animal. Give them a chance
I can promise you as an American my most feared animal on this list is the cougar. I had a very close Call in Oregon hunting with a friend of mine I literally had my 9 mm pistol pointed at the d*** things head and she was not having it. luckily we both escaped with our lives and I can promise you I will take a grizzly bear and a Bradley tank over A cougar any day that thing came out of nowhere and I never even heard one single footstep and if I would have not turned around when I did I would not be texting you this right now those things are dangerous.
Cougars are the prettiest kitties on the continent! Nothing like a schwarza-kitty that can jump 15 ft, and will kill you by crushing your skull in its jaws! Also, they are the largest cat that can literally purr like a domesticated animal. You should look up videos. I have great pleasure of being at a wildlife zoo one day at the cougar exhibit when it was out sunning itself and purring. It thrummed about 60 ft through the ground so that I felt it vibrating up the soles of my feet. It was amazing!
Living in the Pacific Northwest area & as a hiker, have learned to also wear my backpack to where the top is at the back of my neck (cougars go for the neck) - they can follow prey for miles without you ever knowing it. Sadly, children or dogs tend to wind up as prey because they're small & run around (never run from the cougar, as explained). The black bear is more of a nuisance than danger, make yourself as big as possible, make loud noises, more often than not, they'll run away (unless there are cubs with Momma in the spring). It's the Grizzly that's scary! Loved the reactions
Hmm. I've heard that advice about bears before. Have you ever done that? Made yourself big and made lots of noise? I wouldn't because you may not see the cubs, which stay with their mom for more than a year. My cat taught me the best way to manage a black bear. I was walking my dog one morning and my cat happened to come along. We were on a back road near our house and there was no traffic or other people. As we walked, a black bear tumbled down a hill, landing in front of us on the road. While my dog and I stood there, not sure what to do, my cat (who was in front of us and closer to the bear), just laid down on the road just as calm as you please, with his back to the bear and even began his wagging his tail. If he could have spoken I'm sure he would have said, "just be cool." Following his lead, I motioned for my dog to sit as I crouched down. The bear considered us and, after a moment or two, continued on, crossing the road. You see, you don't want to pose a threat to them. Jumping up and making a loud noise could be considered a threat, especially if there are cubs somewhere in the area. Also, in this position, if they decide to charge you, you have a better chance of rolling yourself into a ball and covering your head and neck with your arms. Don't try to outrun them. Even downhill, they'll beat you. BTW, the scariest part of the morning was after the bear left the road, when I realized he/she was heading straight toward my house! LOL!
Sorry for my typos. I meant to say that you don't want to surprise a wild animal. Give them a chance to hide. If you are on a trail, sing or kick or throw rocks sometimes. I lived not far from where they fed bears. I sang and kicked rocks and never encountered one, although a neighbor did
This one's ranking doesn't make as much sense as the other one, and they downplayed a lot of animals that have killed many people like moose and bison. They put in multiple non-lethal venomous animals, but left out rattle snakes which have an actually deadly bite, and they even mention that Black Widow venom is more potent than rattlesnake venom without mentioning that rattlesnake bites are more dangerous because of the greater volume of venom; comparing venom from such different animals like it's apples to apples is also weird. The other list wasn't perfect, but this one only makes the first one seem smarter.
In North Carolina we have black widows, brown recluses, coral snakes, Eastern Diamondbacks, water moccasins (cottonmouth), copperheads, black bears, alligators, bull & hammerhead sharks, and multiple kinds of venomous jellyfish. We even have carnivorous plants (Venus flytrap). Hiking is an adventure here.
Two of my friends often go hunting out in the west....Colorado I think. Anyway, one year they had killed a deer and were dragging it out to their truck. But they kept hearing something run by behind them, but it would be hidden when they turned to look. Finally they saw that it was a mountain lion stalking them. They got scared, decided that hunting trip was over, and left the deer to the cat. :)
Alligators aren't much of a worry, as long as you leave them alone. We have them all over in coastal North Carolina. Venomous spiders and snakes are way more scary imo. I laughed when you said you wouldn't golf where there are alligators. My dad golfs constantly. There are occasionally alligators on their course. It's just a fun little tidbit of a story, nothing more. They give it a wide berth and they keep on golfing. He and his friends are 60s-80s. Lol Those men are alligator wranglers. It's a legitimate job in alligator-prone areas. And yes, Millie, some alligator wranglers are women, too! But you're right, most women are smart enough to pick a safer career. haha
Great Whites are dangerous but not as dangerous as most think, most attacks happen when wildlife is nearby or when on a surfboard or something similar. They don't hunt humans but the juvenile do take test bites on the above listed, learning on what they like to eat. Sadly a juvenile is still quite large, meaning it's bite is more likely to be fatal. All I'm trying to say is do not fear them, respect them cause the ocean is their home and territory. We're only visitors entering their domain.
We had a pitbull and he loved anything smaller than him he thought it was a baby kiitens birds smaller dogs human babies, he thought it was his duty to lick it until it was dripping in slobber or until we made him llay down. Which was always near the baby.
We live in the mountain forest in sw Washington . We have cougar and bear . The one thing I learned when we first moved out here is , when bear are foraging in the woods they sound like pigs . So if I’m out in our woods and I hear a pig , I just go to the house .
And just seeing the pitty on this list pisses me off. Pitties are the sweetest dogs I've ever met. They aren't as generally physically dangerous as huskies, malamutes, or ankle biting, piss-off, chihuahuas. God I hate those little things.

'Water Moccasin' a large swamp snake, aggressive, big black snake, deadly. A big 'Diamond Back Rattle snake', deadly.
In my area we have western rattlesnakes - which are easily avoided. But we also have cougar and bobcat. They are both people shy, but will attack if cornered. We also have coyote which never attack humans. Our sheep and cattle and the local elk and deer have been attacked by the cougar and the bobcat. The coyote prefers smaller animals, lamb, calf and deer fauns. But also, newborn lambs have been taken by golden eagles - the largest bird of prey in the area.

if you see a cougar, they wanted you to see them. You will never see them if they wanna attack you until its too late
Keep ones ears open and head on a swivel.
If this logic was true, they'd be the dominant predator on Earth, there's a reason why we hunted them close to extinction, humans are #1
Or as one ranger said - if you see the cougar, it was just curious and didn't care if you saw it.
@@aj897 OK, so what was the reason why? The how was using dogs. The OP is correct, if you see a cougar it's because it wanted you to or didn't care. They can disappear at will.

In the US, pit bulls aren't even in the top fifteen of likely dogs to bite. Number 1 is the Golden retriever.
He said that the grizzly can reach heights of 6.8 feet standing on it's hind legs but in fact they can stand far taller than that.
I think he was confusing a grizzly with Greg Davies.
Yeah, the video in general was full of errors. Grizzlies can stand almost 9 feet tall. As tall as or taller than the ceiling in many rooms.
@@seanbradley5614 The tallest grizzly on record was shot by the US Forrest Service and stood 14 feet and weighed 1600 pounds.
Yea he messed a lot of things up and ranking is just in random order it's not even the right order plus the great white shark is only there cause the stereotype that they are killing machines also why is moose not first it's second too the hippo in the most dangerous animals in the world.
It's ironic because the American pit bull can be traced back to the UK but it's a banned breed there.
Living in Missouri, the most "dangerous" animals you might encounter are coyotes, black bears, coral snakes and cottonmouths, and brown recluse and black widow spiders.
He's absolutely kind of wrong about the great white most great white attacks happen because of mistaken identity. More shark attacks happened from tiger sharks or bull sharks
As we say here in the Sierra Nevada mountains, if you see a mountain lion(cougar) it's probably on top of you.

Correction It's a stereotype pitbulls are not as dangerous as people think chihuahua are more aggressive statistically. Pitbulls are, however, preferred for dog fighting Because of their muscular body and broad shoulders. It is how you raise them just like any other kid. After all, they used to be nanny dogs.
My pitbull got stung on the paw by a scorpion while I was walking her. Her paw swelled perfectly round like a golf ball. I'm a truck driver and it was impossible to get her to a vet. We were in the middle of nowhere. She pounded her paw on the truck floor repeatedly all night. The swelling was gone several hours later. She's a very sweet, super friendly, docile dog.
I've got 5 dogs, and my pit is the biggest baby of them all.
My pittie has been attacked by kids and kittens both and thinks it's the best game ever! The only prob is that he knows how strong his cuteness and smoosh are and he will use these to manipulate you!
Pitbulls are actually very sweet dogs and were used as nanny dogs back in the day. It's the owners that are the real issue but that's something that is glossed over by too many people.
The look on Millie’s face when hubby cracked on her!
I wouldn't go bowling for a while after this 😂
I agree, moose are strange looking
I’m surprised they skipped over the other venomous snakes. Rattle snakes, copperheads, water moccasins, etc. are common in the southern half of the country and they’re typically fatal with no treatment.
Ooooh... That look when he said she couldn't even lift a bowling bowl. I know that look. My husband knows it well, too. Hahaha
We also have Crocodiles in Florida
Wish I could show the pics of the Black Bear that hangs out where I work. We drag our bins inside at night so that we don't have to pick it up from everywhere in the morning. We had a customer come in once and tell us he was outside, so EVERYONE in the store goes outside to see, which scared him, and he turned around and left towards the woods. Yes, we filmed and took pics. I'm still waiting for him to walk right into the store one night, as our doors are automatic...
They we mostly showing a redback spider when talking about a black widow.
I have 2 pits and they are THE best dogs!!!
My pit is a big old smoosh puddle, but he uses his cuteness to manipulate us, and he steals blankets.
bision doesn't eat meat but if you suprise one it will attac to defend itself like all the wild animals they only will attack if they fell endangerd
You won't see a cougar (mountain lion) early. They keep themselves hidden until they are ready to strike. But they don't typically see people as food. Small children and pets though.
About the corral snake. There is a king snake, that is not venomous, with the same coloring. You can tell which one is deadly by a little phrase. When red touches yellow it is a dangerous fellow. The king snake doesn’t have red next to yellow.
As my CDL-A trainer told me years ago; never blow your air horn at a moose.
It'll see it as a challenge and destroy your rig. 😂
It is all on the person that owns the pitbull dog. My friend has one that always has to sleep next to me. Sweetest dog, he just wants to cuddle all time.
8:39 Moose are built weird. Spindly legs and a body shaped more like container barrel on it's side. I know what you mean. The legs are quite sturdy with very sharp hoofs. The body is all muscle (got to pet one thru a fence). If you hit one in a car, it could collapse the interior on top of you. In the US like most of the rest of the world, the mosquito is probably the most dangerous animal here.
Much better list.
Still has some issues
The Coral snake and the King snake look very similar. One is venomous and one is not. Looking at the color bands will tell you which is which. The saying goes: "Red on black is a friend of Jack, red on yellow will kill a fellow. It's best just to keep clear either way.
A note to add here, this rhyme does not work outside of the US since there are many coral snake species with the "safe" pattern abroad.
Avoid all of them and there'll be no trouble.
@@peggedyourdad9560 Good point but this video is of the US. Thanks for the feedback.
This list is highly suspect. While coral snake venom is potent, encounters with them are very rare and their fangs are tiny. I’m not sure they could get a good bite thru denim. They definitely can’t get thru a leather boot. Now rattlesnakes are a different story. All are dangerous, but Mojave greens and either diamondback are the worst. Just hope they give you warning…..
@@jeffreynolds922 I know, just wanted to mention this since some people forget that this rhyme is only for the US and try to use it in other countries with very unfortunate results.
Hi
Actually the timid White Tail Deer causes more deaths than most of the critters listed.
Cougars are extremely stealthy and do not often show themselves. They hunt by catching their prey by surprise. So, if you see a cougar, it is not very good news for you. The best thing you can do is square off and try to convince it that you are not prey. If you run, it will chase you. Cougars prefer attacking smaller prey, so children and smaller women are, unfortunately, at more risk than larger males. And don't let Fifi off the leash. Cougars have been known to grab small dogs out for walks with their owners. In fact, they have been known to attack dogs even on a leash -- and the person never knew the cougar was there until too late.
The other list, albeit poorer quality, is more accurate. Sharks don't even hunt people, and attacks are extremely rare. It's the herbivorous animals that end up causing more fatalities.
Also, black bears may be smaller than grizzly bears, but black bears are more likely to prey on and eat people.
The look on Millie's face when you said "you can't even lift a bowling ball" was hilarious!😁
Seriously i was like.. read the face dude read the face... back away slowly as if from a grizzly bear!
Careful James ... tonight you might find that she proves she can lift one, when you wake up to find her standing over you, holding a bowling-ball over either your large or small head!😳
Facepalm 😞
I think the top 10 is mostly accurate but would put Grizzly Bears number 1 as the most vicious and most feared. I believe there have been more deaths due to Grizzly attacks than any other animal on the top 10. I would put Mountain Lions number 2. Great topic.
Deer are probably the most dangerous just because of how well they get in front of cars going 70mph.
I have a pitbull and he is the sweetest most cowardly dog I’ve ever seen! My neighbor had tall potted plants outside their home and he was scared to walk past them 😂 didn’t even bark, just cowered and refused to go by it!
My little cousin's face almost got ripped off by a pitbull. All kinds of reconstructive surgery. I'll shoot everyone I have a legal right to. No tears. Do some research into what is happening in Detroit. These things are now like pack animals.
Cowardly is actually not a good sign. Animals will attack out of fear. If your Pitbull really is skittish, seek training from a professional to address any issues.
Sweet is irrelevant. Dogs that are sweet to members of their pack, i.e. you, have attacked and killed neighbors and even family members.
@@seanbradley5614 He's not skittish, he is great but he has his quirks. I have had him for 10 years and he is trained, never an incident/issue with him when meeting people :) thanks though
@@tori_trex4927 10 years is a good track record. 👍
Cougars attack you from places that you don't see them...from above or from behind usually.
5:53 "You can't even lift a bowling ball"
*Millie stares daggers through James. 😂
It's the giant American centipedes that freak me out... Very unnerving... 🐛
I had a pit. She was the best dog I’ve ever owned. He was right. It’s the owners who make them mean.
Pit's are so sweet until they're not. haha. and yeah it really depends on the owner. I dog sit one who"s 90 lbs. and could tear me apart. We wrestle and he's very gentle so I don't think he'd kill something he loves. But I'm sure if the opportunity came, he would.
I have a pit and she's a complete sweetheart, she loves absolutely everyone. She's the third pit I've had and they've all been sweet and gentle. My previous two were older boys that I rescued and they didn't have a mean bone in their body.
I totally agree. Unfortunately, the idiots who breed them for fighting have also accentuated physical characteristics that can be lethal when the dogs are trained to be hostile. So, I am always extremely cautious when I see a pit bull (and some other breeds) because I do not know their disposition.
Absolutely. Mine is my baby. We raised her right and the only time she is aggravated is when she senses I'm in danger. But one word from her and she's back to trying to stick her tongue in your face.
In the US, just don't bother swimming in the ocean. Up in the northeast, it's far too cold, even mid-summer, but you're pretty safe otherwise. On the west coast, you have sharks and pollution. In the southeast, you have sharks, jellyfish, sea snakes, and about a dozen other things that can hurt you. Fun fact - alligators also occasionally swim in the oceans to kill off the parasites attached to their bodies. It's not uncommon to see an alligator in the ocean near the mouth of a river. I live 5 minutes from the beach, and I love the beach - but I only swim in pools. I don't even dip my toes in the ocean down here in the southeast.
Usually, the female Black Widow kills and eats her mate after he makes a joke about her not being able to lift a bowling ball.
That video understated the size/potency/danger of all those creatures by more than half, a lot more. And pitbulls just snap, no matter how you raise or train them. They were a bad idea and they need to cease from existing.
Also polar bears, rattlesnakes, wolves, coyotes, and in certain places jaguars
5:55 Millie’s face 😂😂 she was so done with your BS at that singular moment
I'm so glad you posted this! This is just one more reason women live longer than men. When Millie comes to North America we can add her to this list!
Lots of large predators as well as venomous spiders and snakes but I can't stop thinking about that damned brain eating amoeba.
As Robert Heinlein once wrote, "Pound for pound, the amoeba is the most viscous animal on Earth."
@@zuzax1656 Viscous but also vicious.
@@seanbradley5614 lol! I didn't even notice that typo! But yeah, true either way. 😜
Learning things like that made it just a little harder to enjoy life not gonna lie 😂
I thought the Bull Shark would be in there. It is the only shark that can live in freshwater and is found in rivers and lakes throughout the US.
I came here to say much the same thing, but was beaten by a bot. The bull shark in Florida, especially the gulf coast side is more fearful than the great white. I'm sure Australia cringed. and just as jim said they swim up freshwater rivers. I live in Florida. I love the freshwater and salt water, but I understand that when I step into the water that I am no longer top of the food chain. We always keep our eyes open.
My cousin has 4 American Pitbull Terriers, and my sister has 1. They are all sweethearts. As with any animal (or person for that matter) has the potential to be dangerous.
I knew the moose would be on the list!
A Cougar or Mountain Lion, as it’s called in some parts, is a predator. Just like with all predators, you NEVER turn your back and you NEVER run. They are amazing creatures. I have Black Bears at my job. They are totally awesome but you leave them alone they will leave you alone. Black Widows are one of several species that it’s really horrible being the guy in the relationship. Praying Mantises do the same thing. A full grown Moose can weigh upwards of 1600 pounds. It’s also known to be able to derail trains. Great White sharks are definitely dangerous creatures, but I personally would rank a Bull Shark equal to the Great White or above it. The reasons being one Bull Sharks are more aggressive and two Bull Sharks are one of the few animals able to survive in fresh water and in salt water.
Black bears are incredibly docile. They almost never attack. You have to really go out of your way to piss off a black bear enough for it to attack you. Check out the stats. Other bears are way more dangerous, though.
And these are just some of the animals we have. There’s also bobcats, wolves, brown recluse, spider, fire ants, wild hogs, rattlesnakes, of course, copperheads and cottonmouth snakes. You can also find polar bears in Alaska, and recently jaguars have been spotted near Texas border.
The Southwest was once part of the Jaguar's range, but now all you see is a wandering loner who may come over. The northern most point of it's current range is basically parts of Mexico now.
The two pitties I currently have snuggling and snoring on me would disagree with this video's bonus. I've owned a lot of different dogs in my life and I've never owned a sweeter one.
My pittie is an aggressive blanket thief!
How in the world did he miss the Brown Recluse Spider? or the Gila Monster?
Has a pittbul owner it only depends on how you raise them
I've had several bad experiences where a pit bull has stolen blankets in the middle of the night. Okay, fine, he's my pittie, and he is highly manipulative because he knows how cute and smooshy he is.
Glad the narrator pointed out how the dogs are mistreated because of bad owners it's not because these animals are naturally evil or something
Idk if u guys can get it in Jersey, but look up Gator Boys on UA-cam. Its a group of people who save gators from people and people from gators. They don’t kill them, they try to re-home them and give them better lives. Its pretty cool.
There is nothing wrong with Pit Bulls as a breed, however there are two main reasons they are responsible for so many fatal dog attacks. 1) Their owners trained them that way, or abused them to the point the dog became mean, and 2) Most dogs, when attacking something/someone, will bite down on their prey, either holding that bite or pulling away, Pitts instinctually start chewing, which can can a lot more damage. Pitt Bulls as a breed were ordinally bred for dog fighting, which is why a lot of bad dog owners want them, and why so many people fear them. If you raise a Pitt right, show it love, and make it a part of your family, that dog will fight and die for you and your family.
The info this guy gave was wrong more then right, he said Brown bears get up to 6.8 ft FALSE they can get up to and over 10 ft. I have seen several over 13 ft. (I live and hunt in Alaska where the largest brown bears live) and He has moose at #3 but #1 is and probably always will be Moose as the most dangerous.
A grizzly can decapitate a bullmoose with on swipe of its paw.
Pitbulls are not dangerous. I have 2 Pitbulls. It's the owners. In the early 1900's, pitbulls were known as the nanny dog. They were used to watch kids.
Yellowstone is famous for its high concentration of tourons (the moronic subspecies of tourists). The mingling of tourons who think they're entitled to closeup selfies with bison in Yellowstone guarantees several maulings every year. Unfortunately, the touron is far from an endangered species.
I’ve seen this before. As noted, the narrator is 100% incorrect about the historic range of the bison. I’m in Illinois and there was a cougar that was hit by a car a couple counties over. Very sad. No bears by me but I’ve seen plenty in northern Wisconsin and Michigan. I’ve only seen moose while canoeing In Quetico provincial park, Ontario. Lots of alligators in Florida. Got way too close in the Everglades. Stupid me! I suspect more people are killed by collisions with white tailed deer than with great white sharks. Pitties get a bad rap. Blame the owners. I’ve known some really sweet Pitties. Having said that I had a crazy Dalmatian. Miss that boy.
Pit Bulls it can be a yea or nay. There is a certain amount of instinct that goes along with different dog breeds as well as treatment. My border collie despite being raised indoors is very high energy and tries to herd the humans and cats. I think also when you have a tragedy with a pitbull often the owner forgets that these different dog breeds exist for a reason. Pit Bulls were bred for bull baiting and dog fighting and that instinct can be in there. My cousin's sweet dog that all the children played with mauled his mother when she made an unexpected sound and he had to have it put down.
I have a cottonmouth snake that lives in my backyard. I don't go out there, he can keep it 😂
There are fake coral snakes too, that are similar but not dangerous. The easiest way to tell the difference is the true coral snake has a round, black head. The others have red, pointed heads. The color bands vary too, but the easiest to remember is the difference in their head shape and color. When I was a kid I caught several king snakes that look like the coral, but never saw a true coral. I don't even know if we have them in Arkansas.
I remember the saying from when I was a kid!
"Red touch black, friend of Jack. Red touch yellow, kill a fellow"
Black bears aren't really a worry. You encounter one and it will almost always walk away or ignore you. I have Black Widows around my house outside. I have killed 4 this year. Not fun
When our kids were very young, we lived for a year and a half in southern Georgia. On the army base playground there was a sign that said, "Beware of alligators."
3:45 that girl got punted lol always remember bison/Buffalo always have the right of way lol
I live in a very small town in northeast Oklahoma. For about 2 weeks people have been seeing a juvenile cougar (mountain lion, puma) in the area. My daughter said it ran across her driveway earlier today, around dusk. pretty animals-but dangerous. All the dogs have taken to hiding in their houses at night. It gets eerily quiet at times at night.
I have a black bear in my backyard. I caught him sniffing around my fire pit the other night. He's been fairly friendly, but I never go into my woods without a dog and my Taurus Raging Bull revolver. I hope I don't have to shoot a bear, but that 454 Casull revolver will smoke it if need be.
10:19 Because Florida Man
A bear. I live in Maine and while they say that a black bear will usually be more afraid of us, there is no guarantee. They can be unpredictable. Best to make noise while walking or jogging along a trail. You don't want to surprise to hide.a wild animal. Give them a chance
I can promise you as an American my most feared animal on this list is the cougar. I had a very close Call in Oregon hunting with a friend of mine I literally had my 9 mm pistol pointed at the d*** things head and she was not having it. luckily we both escaped with our lives and I can promise you I will take a grizzly bear and a Bradley tank over A cougar any day that thing came out of nowhere and I never even heard one single footstep and if I would have not turned around when I did I would not be texting you this right now those things are dangerous.
Cougars are the prettiest kitties on the continent! Nothing like a schwarza-kitty that can jump 15 ft, and will kill you by crushing your skull in its jaws! Also, they are the largest cat that can literally purr like a domesticated animal. You should look up videos. I have great pleasure of being at a wildlife zoo one day at the cougar exhibit when it was out sunning itself and purring. It thrummed about 60 ft through the ground so that I felt it vibrating up the soles of my feet. It was amazing!
Lynx are cutest!
Surprised the Bull Shark wasn’t number 1. I’m in Pensacola and they are everywhere. Freshwater or saltwater, doesn’t matter.
Living in the Pacific Northwest area & as a hiker, have learned to also wear my backpack to where the top is at the back of my neck (cougars go for the neck) - they can follow prey for miles without you ever knowing it. Sadly, children or dogs tend to wind up as prey because they're small & run around (never run from the cougar, as explained). The black bear is more of a nuisance than danger, make yourself as big as possible, make loud noises, more often than not, they'll run away (unless there are cubs with Momma in the spring). It's the Grizzly that's scary! Loved the reactions
Hmm. I've heard that advice about bears before. Have you ever done that? Made yourself big and made lots of noise? I wouldn't because you may not see the cubs, which stay with their mom for more than a year.
My cat taught me the best way to manage a black bear. I was walking my dog one morning and my cat happened to come along. We were on a back road near our house and there was no traffic or other people. As we walked, a black bear tumbled down a hill, landing in front of us on the road. While my dog and I stood there, not sure what to do, my cat (who was in front of us and closer to the bear), just laid down on the road just as calm as you please, with his back to the bear and even began his wagging his tail. If he could have spoken I'm sure he would have said, "just be cool." Following his lead, I motioned for my dog to sit as I crouched down. The bear considered us and, after a moment or two, continued on, crossing the road. You see, you don't want to pose a threat to them. Jumping up and making a loud noise could be considered a threat, especially if there are cubs somewhere in the area. Also, in this position, if they decide to charge you, you have a better chance of rolling yourself into a ball and covering your head and neck with your arms. Don't try to outrun them. Even downhill, they'll beat you.
BTW, the scariest part of the morning was after the bear left the road, when I realized he/she was heading straight toward my house! LOL!
Lol, bison do not just live in Yellowstone. There’s a population here in Utah that live on Antelope Island in the Salt Lake area.
It's America, we like to play with our wildlife.🤣 I use to catch smaller gators that were like 5 to 6 feet.
Sorry for my typos. I meant to say that you don't want to surprise a wild animal. Give them a chance to hide. If you are on a trail, sing or kick or throw rocks sometimes. I lived not far from where they fed bears. I sang and kicked rocks and never encountered one, although a neighbor did
Nah just keep a metal bat or katana
This one's ranking doesn't make as much sense as the other one, and they downplayed a lot of animals that have killed many people like moose and bison. They put in multiple non-lethal venomous animals, but left out rattle snakes which have an actually deadly bite, and they even mention that Black Widow venom is more potent than rattlesnake venom without mentioning that rattlesnake bites are more dangerous because of the greater volume of venom; comparing venom from such different animals like it's apples to apples is also weird. The other list wasn't perfect, but this one only makes the first one seem smarter.
In North Carolina we have black widows, brown recluses, coral snakes, Eastern Diamondbacks, water moccasins (cottonmouth), copperheads, black bears, alligators, bull & hammerhead sharks, and multiple kinds of venomous jellyfish. We even have carnivorous plants (Venus flytrap). Hiking is an adventure here.
Two of my friends often go hunting out in the west....Colorado I think. Anyway, one year they had killed a deer and were dragging it out to their truck. But they kept hearing something run by behind them, but it would be hidden when they turned to look. Finally they saw that it was a mountain lion stalking them. They got scared, decided that hunting trip was over, and left the deer to the cat. :)
In Az, cougars are also called mountain lion.
Moose are huge a terrifying.
Alligators aren't much of a worry, as long as you leave them alone. We have them all over in coastal North Carolina. Venomous spiders and snakes are way more scary imo.
I laughed when you said you wouldn't golf where there are alligators. My dad golfs constantly. There are occasionally alligators on their course. It's just a fun little tidbit of a story, nothing more. They give it a wide berth and they keep on golfing. He and his friends are 60s-80s. Lol
Those men are alligator wranglers. It's a legitimate job in alligator-prone areas. And yes, Millie, some alligator wranglers are women, too! But you're right, most women are smart enough to pick a safer career. haha
Great Whites are dangerous but not as dangerous as most think, most attacks happen when wildlife is nearby or when on a surfboard or something similar. They don't hunt humans but the juvenile do take test bites on the above listed, learning on what they like to eat. Sadly a juvenile is still quite large, meaning it's bite is more likely to be fatal.
All I'm trying to say is do not fear them, respect them cause the ocean is their home and territory. We're only visitors entering their domain.
We had a pitbull and he loved anything smaller than him he thought it was a baby kiitens birds smaller dogs human babies, he thought it was his duty to lick it until it was dripping in slobber or until we made him llay down. Which was always near the baby.
rattle snake 🐍, gray wolf 🐺, deer tick
It makes me mad that the Pitt Bull was included in this video. ANY dog can be vicious with the wrong person raising/ training it! 🤬
We live in the mountain forest in sw Washington . We have cougar and bear . The one thing I learned when we first moved out here is , when bear are foraging in the woods they sound like pigs . So if I’m out in our woods and I hear a pig , I just go to the house .
