@ I think you’re taking me off context. I think I understand your criticism, but it points to one truth. We are not far from our chimp ancestors. Yes we’re not chimps, but we can be much worse than them. They are just honest. I’m just moralizing, not defining anything as fact. In fact, I watch videos like this to learn everyday
@@Dice-Z That’s why most Autocrats, Dictators and, Tyrants (like Stalin) are notoriously paranoid. Because when you have absolute power the only way someone’s gonna get that power is by overthrowing you. Usually like these chimps; violently.
The Przewalski's horses are near and dear to my heart. When I worked in my local zoo as a teen, a few of the more docile horses were right beside my station. I'd talk to them every day. My local zoo is part of the SSP for these horses and has successfully bred at least 33 foals since the 90s when they joined the breeding program for them.
@@annehatter3319 The majority of the horses were never on exhibit. The zoo had a breeding facility for multiple endangered species outside the city that is not open to the public, where the horses were essentially wild. Human contact was kept to an absolute minimum in order to keep these horses ready for their eventual release back into the Mongolian wilds.
It’s still so adorable we give medals and honor animals as legends and heroes, it gives me faith in humanity and also gives the animals what they truly deserve.
@@drippeeboye607 a medal may not mean much to an animal. But when a human sees one in possession of one or more, that animal gets fucking pampered compared to what the wild ones get.
This guy stole another video and took some talking point from Joe Rogan. This guy is a liar and a sham, he tricked all of you. This is entirely not true, the original video context is different, this ape was from a rival tribe.
I absolutely love that the army not only saved the pigeons life but honoured it with a title and medal. That’s the type of humanity we’re missing these days.
For size scale for the wolf: Tibetan Mastiffs are about the same weight class as a wolf, which makes sense as it’s believed that Tibetan Mastiffs were herding dogs used to defend against them. Although mastiffs in general are still somewhat smaller height and length than a wolf. It’s still fascinating. Also: clarification: dogs were used to defend against wolves but more often than not it was the bark, not the bite. Deep barks like Maremmas and Mastiffs are still used in parts of Europe, although wolves are rare, they do exist and it’s a choice between shoot or dog and I’m choosing dog every single time (I’m a hunter. I could choose shoot. But dog is a win win situation: I get a friend, I don’t have to shoot an endangered animal, and the wolf gets to live)
I’m more likely to see a real wolf for reference before I see a Tibetan Mastiff to reference for size. You should have said a washing machine or anything else except another dog especially one that’s not common to see. But you got ur point “unnecessarily” across. Lol.

"This pigeon saved hundreds of lives, and might be the reason why some of y'all exist". I felt that. Really did. Because my great grandfather was in the "Lost Battalion" of WWI, so that pigeon actually is a vital reason why I exist.
@@dakotajensen6756 My great grandfather kept a diary illegally during WWI. He documented the whole thing -- Lost Battalion -- in real-time. He was gravely wounded during most of it, and was in the same foxhole as Whittlesey. His name was James Larney. My grandmother finally allowed the diary to go out with a historian to be restored after my grandfather passed away.
Eh - he’s on the TikTok and UA-cams, that’s at least a LITTLE attention-seeking… And that’s FINE. Because, let’s be honest, we all deserve a little more attention than we get. The fact that he’s getting it for animal facts and not stupid stunts is just a credit to his smarts.
This Young Man has excellent communication skills. His narrating is full of intelligent humor, and he started each vignette with a sentence that grabbed my attention, keeping me riveted to the end.
As someone who's handled more than a few rescued wolves and wolfdogs, THANK YOU for your continuing respect for these gorgeous animals. As much as I like referring to them as "spicy forest puppers", they do NOT mess around when they're motivated, and I really wish more people and dogs would remember that and leave them alone. (Also, don't send your dog after a bear either, anonymous dude in the clip. You don't know whether there are cubs in the neighborhood, and if there are you'll probably lose your dog.)
Definitely agreed. There needs to be stricter regulations on ownership. My neighbor had a wolf when I was little and they let it out and it came into our yard and mauled me. It lasted a minute or less but it tore all the skin off my shoulder and was chomping down on my head before my grandpa scared it off. The only reason I survived was because the hood of my jacket stayed on. I think people forget they are capable of serious damage
I used to have a neighbor who had a wolf/malamute mix and he was Large. Very leggy and lanky, not as heavily built as you'd think. He was like, 12 so he was pretty chill, but you definitely didn't want to mess with him. And you NEVER approached him first. Just looking at him you immediately understood the rules. He was the undisputed king of the neighborhood.
I once saw something that looked exactly like the wolf in the video dead in the road. I thought it was a black bear, but the legs were clearly doglike, and it was definitely bear-sized. The problem is that this was in New Mexico, where the only wolves, the Mexican grey wolf, is the smallest species of wolf in North America. Plus it was black. I couldn't stop to examine it because it was at the entrance to a narrow bridge with no shoulder. I never did figure out what it was, but this was only a mile or so from a reservation where a coworker and I saw a _massive_ beaver, easily six feet long, that we _thought_ was dead. We got out of our cars and looked at it from just a few feet away and it never moved, but when my coworker went back with a camera to take pictures (this was before camera phones), it was gone, and there was no blood or bits of car at the site as there would have been if it had been hit as we had assumed. Maybe there's some timber wolves living on the rez, too, who knows?
Seeing animals being recognized for heroic acts and receiving medals is the most wholesome but sad thing, sad only because we humans started the war to begin with. As great as it is to honor our men and women in the service for their Valor, bravery, and conviction. Seeing an animal being honored just hits different every time ❤
This channel is so amazing. This man here has put himself in a league of his own. His writing, which is crazy wild, editing, content, research, everything is just so impressive. Just, wow. The animal kingdom thanks him for putting so many lies to rest...
Cher Amie was the last pigeon they had. He was their last chance at being saved. There is a small documentary about what happened. He was given a medal for military animals, and now sits stuffed in a museum.
Imagine if some other species did this to human servants: "this hairless monkey saved 200 of our kind, so we treated his wounds, gave him awards and then skinned and stuffed his corpse when he died. Such a hero!"
"They're afraid of getting stung in their trunks." Completely understandable. I would be too. Good on those army doctors for doing everything they could for Cher Ami!
I imagined getting stung in my nose and I cringed so hard. I can't imagine what it'd be like if my nostrils were bigger and a hundred belligerent bees could enter at their discretion.
@@mrgreenboy644 it'd be worse if we had to use our noses to feel and grasp things too. Like being stung on your hand, that hand is unusable now for a couple days at least. I can't imagine the pain of getting stung in the trunk.
We used to have a German Shepherd who suffered some gene defects that basically allowed him to grow back into wolf size. For him, his first 3 years of life were full of growth pain, but when he was done, he had 110 pounds of pure lean muscle, his head was as wide as my (I'm a 6 foot man) torso (including shoulders), with paws the size of my hands including fingers. It's insane to think about that that's what's hidden in wolf's DNA, just waiting to be activated. My grandpa once said that he probably was "The only dog to fight a boar and walk away alive and victorious". But he was insanely friendly, cuddly and loving, he only wanted to cuddle and chill all day. I miss that big guy so much, he was my best friend...
We had a giant GS like that when I was a child too. They'd put me on his back and let me ride him like a horse - he was insanely large, strong, and smart.
@@thatguynamedgabestyfy8348 Cher Ami by Harry Webb Farrington (1926) Cher Ami, how do you do! Listen, let me talk to you; I'll not hurt you, don't you see? Come a little close to me. Little scrawny blue and white Messenger for men who fight, Tell me of the deep, red scar, There, just where no feathers are. What about your poor left leg? Tell me, Cher Ami, I beg. All the world is at a loss, How you won that Silver Cross. "The finest fun that came to me Was when I went with Whittlesey; We marched so fast, so far ahead! 'We all are lost,' the keeper said; 'Mon Cher Ami - that's my dear friend You are the one we'll have to send; The whole battalion now is lost, And you must win at any cost.' So with the message tied on tight; I flew up straight with all my might, Before I got up high enough, Those watchful guns began to puff. Machine gun bullets came like rain, You'd think I was an aeroplane; And when I started to the rear, My! the shot was coming near! But on I flew, straight as a bee; The wind could not catch up with me, Until I dropped out of the air, Into our own men's camp, it’s fair! But, Cher Ami, upon my word, You modest, modest little bird; Now don't you know that you forgot? Tell how your breast and leg were shot. Oh yes the day we crossed the Meuse I flew to Rampont with the news; Again the bullets came like hail, I thought for sure that I should fail. The bullets buzzed by like a bee, So close, it nearly frightened me; One struck the feathers of this sail, Another went right through my tail. But when I got back to the rear, I found they’d hit me, here and here; But that is nothing, never mind; Old Poilu, there is nearly blind. I only care for what they said, For when they saw the way I bled, And found in front a swollen lump, The message hanging from my stump The French and Mine said, 'Tres bien!' Or 'Very good' -- American. Mon Cher Ami, you brought good news Our Army's gone across the Meuse! You surely had a lucky call! And so I'm glad. I guess that's all. I'll sit, so pardon me, I beg; It's hard astanding on one leg!
The Cher Ami story is even more intense. It wasn't friendly troops firing at them. It was friendly artillery thinking they were the Germans. That feathery bastard was not only hearing constant gunfire, but also the deafening impacts of 75mm and 105mm HE shells and *still* had his shit together enough to get through multiple gunshot wounds
To this day, the story of cher amie is one of the greatest stories I’ve heard. Hundreds of men survived a death sentence in the worst chaos of war possible because of that single pigeon. He survived immense odds to save those people. What that pigeon did is like if a human courier got shot with a cannonball and proceeded to run an ultra marathon back to headquarters to carry his message. Unbelievable.
@@themug406 You'd be surprised of how aware bird brains can get. My dad had a bird averie in the 70's and took a old 50's phone apart for the ringer for a bird toy. One of the bird found out that if they had played with the toy like it was ringing my dad's ex wife would come and see who was calling. That bird did that for weeks till she figured out he made that toy and was livid lmao
@@Truck-kun_01 to support your beliefs, remember that modern pigeons are constantly taking the subway to go to where they want to go. no one knows why, perhaps they just want to integrate with humans.

I had a neighbor who had a wolf hybrid. She actually the sweetest gentlest dog I had met. My large 15 lbs Pomeranian LOVED her. She would let him jump all over her, while she lay on her back. She would put his whole head in her mouth , but not bite down, with him just sitting there looking happy about it. She was HUGE. If she put her front paws on my shoulders she still towered over me by a good head length. It was just amazing how something that large could be so gentle. Amazing that she loved playing with my Pomeranian but was never rough enough to hurt him when she was probably 10x his weight!
Dogs have an uncanny ability to be exceedingly gentle with small things, probably owing to pack instincts for caring for young. It's breathtaking sometimes.
Read a few times that wolves do this put in their mouth without biting thing as social bonding. There's even this crazy dude who spent years pretending to be a wolf and living in the litteral middle of the pack. You'd see these shots when the leader of the pack does it to the human, then when he was leader of the pack for some time, other wolves would kind of expect him to do it and be socially giddy and validated when he'd open his mouth for their heads to try and go in. Ps: cats do something a little bit similar with gentle tiny bites and nibbles too with friends and family even when not play fightning. A little bite or chew then off they go continuing their day. Anyway thanks for sharing, so sweet.
@@goldenpony822 I had not heard that about why they put each other’s heads in their mouths. Thanks for sharing. She put her jaws over his head from the top like /\ and he would sit there with his his tongue hanging out smiling, like he thought nothing of it. It was too cute. They really loved each other.
@@bunnygirl2448 wonderful creatures you describe there. That just sounds so lovely. If you're curious YT has some great shots with a few of those curious wolf interactions. By the way I must specify, the gentle bite I was mentioning from cats is done on the side of the furr, when it's done on paws as they often do is more about dominance.
This guy stole another video and took some talking point from Joe Rogan. This guy is a liar and a sham, he tricked all of you. This is entirely not true, the original video context is different, this ape was from a rival tribe.
Protecting elephants by warding them off with something tiny like bees then turning around and giving bees a home and crops to pollinate only to label their honey as "elephant friendly" is incredibly wholesome.
I am sure A LOT of things could be handled that way. I remember reading that fresh garlic makes a great pesticide around your garden… We just need to think outside the box.
@k.hendrickson8735 This is very true! But keep in mind, it is much less reliable than commercial pesticides. Now, for a garden, this issue is relatively small. If you get 33 tomatoes instead of 36, it's not that big of a deal. The real problem starts to emerge when you start looking at how we feed society and realize that commercial farms have to use these types of pesticides to produce enough food for current consumption rates. Now, there are proposed solutions, both as concepts and plans, but it's a huge WIP. I bring this up only to say that thinking outside of the box is important. However, it can only be done when you understand the results of thinking inside the box and the mechanisms behind those conclusions. So, use garlic in your garden, it's much better. But also recognize this isn't going to be a society wide solution. It's also very much worth mentioning that if food production drops, it isn't us in rich countries who will suffer the most. It will be those who are most vulnerable in the most vulnerable regions of the world.
I understand now why these videos take so long to come out not only all the research but the editing as well must take long enough! It doesn’t go unnoticed.

Random note: Megalania is no longer the name of the massive Australian monitor lizard. It was realized that it is much more closely related to komodo dragons than previously thought, and now it belongs in the same genus as the dragon, in a different species, now known as Varanus priscus.
@@tjarkschweizer I'm sure most people do, for extinct animals at least. No one gives common names to Tyrannosaurus, Stegosaurus, etc. Maybe the rule gets changed when referring to Cenozoic animals, like Megalania, Mammoths, or Saber-Tooth "Tigers", but idk.
The fact that earlier modern humans lived in the same world as the megalania is absolutely terrifying, from a distance though one of the coolest most intriguing animals to me
@@RambunctiousReptilian as I said, self-defence, in a time when the sturdist material your home was made of might be a mammoth ribcage or tusk, you don't got a way to keep a determined predator out at night.
Just a speculation but maybe that's why so many human species went extinct- those who couldn't defend themselves died out. And those who survived had no choice but to hunt the other animals to extinction. Maybe that's how humans even started forming communities. It was definitely much easier to be with a herd than be a lone human in the goddamn stone age when giant lizards were still around...
Early humans specifically hunted them to extinction, like they did to most of the other Pleistocene megafauna. Premodern -and especially pre-agricultural - human history is all about ecocide, wiping out prey animals and “inconvenient” species. Modernity gets so much flak for destroying the Earth, but this is actually the least environmentally destructive era since humans first appeared on this planet. Respect for other animals and the environment is a (relatively) recent innovation.
I raised a hybrid wolf as a 13-14 year old that my step father ordered from the back of a outdoors magazine for 400$ in the early 80s. He was the smartest animal and the most loyal and gentle canine I have ever had the privilege to help raise. They are pack animals and you and your interacting family are their pack. Outsiders that they don’t know be warned. It takes a little while for them to accept you or they just don’t. A truly amazing animal. I still to this day think of him and miss him.
I owned one as well big ol beast. The people that gave him to me taught him to smile at people, scared the crap out of everyone that didn’t know him. Sadly got his chain caught on a stump and was trampled by a moose.
I wanna base my Beast Style Martial Art mastery on the Elephant and agreed I wouldn't wanna risk pissing off a hoard of bees with no bee suit on either.
I think the 2 people called "our hero" and "Dhar man shorts" have the pestilence go touch them(for the dirty minded people get your head out the gutter)
The incident with the chimps reminds me of my 2nd grade. There was a big bully in 3rd grade who used to bully all boys that were weaker than him. At one point during a break we gathered and ganged up on him, leaving him in the fetal position and in tears. He never dared to bully anyone afterwards.
At one point someone asked me who would be more dangerous, someone from the city or someone from the country. And I legit remembered your line "You might be from the hood, but he from the wood, he don't play." Your comentary is god tier my friend.
Maybe it's just because I'm emotionally compromised right now, but I am ugly crying and have tears streaming down my face from hearing about Cher Ami. That's a good fucking bird.
If you want a better comeback story than Przewalski’s Horse, read about the Black Robin. They were down to 5 left on a small island off New Zealand in 1980 including the last fertile female. I remember hearing about the efforts to save them from extinction at the time. It got pretty hairy. There are around 300 today. Great videos by the way.
@@MrJohnnyDistortion New Zealand had no mammalian predators before the Europeans, hence why some of the birds were flightless and/or nested on the ground, and had no fear of the cats and rats that came with the Europeans, which decimated a lot of the local wildlife. Only found in the Chatham Islands the last remaining black robins were caught and transferred to a couple of small islands in the group that had been cleared of cats and rats and with help from conservationists were saved from extinction.
I am currently pursuing a zoology degree in hopes of working in wildlife rehab and one thing I promised myself never to forget is that, regardless of how attached I am to an animal I'm caring for, a wild animal is still a wild animal.
It’s so easy when ur working with animals to eagerly work towards handling the “badass” (ie. dangerous) ones out of excitement, def gotta learn fast why that’s not a great idea even when u see others handle the same individual animal with ease
@@bannedwagoner69 working with "badass" animals isn't my goal at all. I will be just as happy caring for a songbird or squirrel as I would be caring for a hawk or bobcat.

Fun fact: Cher Ami was a female pigeon. They only found that out by the time she was dead, so she was posthumously renamed to Cher Amie, the feminine version of her name.
It's said the only reason creatures like Crocodiles, Komodo and Cassowary aren't big enough to eat a horse whole is because the oxygen content of the air today isn't as high as it was in prehistoric times, so land creatures can't support growing to such sizes anymore.

As someone that has a Husky and spent time living in the Rockies, there are two takeaways from that. Firstly, when my Husky decides he's going to howl or otherwise verbalize himself, there is no question as to whether or not he is related to a wolf. Secondly, I've been within 50 feet of a timberwolf. There is no other canine scarier than that in my opinion.
Agreed, i live in the canadian rockeys, very, very big dogs, the females are 130lbs sure, but the males in the mountains can get close to 200lbs.

My local zoo is part of the SSP for these horses and has successfully bred at least 33 foals since the 90s when they joined the breeding program for them.
I cannot begin to tell how jealous I am of you.
The zoo I worked at used to have Przewalski's Horses but their exhibit was taken down to make room for a new Mexican Grey Wolf habitat.
@@annehatter3319 The majority of the horses were never on exhibit. The zoo had a breeding facility for multiple endangered species outside the city that is not open to the public, where the horses were essentially wild. Human contact was kept to an absolute minimum in order to keep these horses ready for their eventual release back into the Mongolian wilds.
You talk to horses???

Hello Pidgeon god, I highly respect you
For size scale for the wolf: Tibetan Mastiffs are about the same weight class as a wolf, which makes sense as it’s believed that Tibetan Mastiffs were herding dogs used to defend against them.
Although mastiffs in general are still somewhat smaller height and length than a wolf. It’s still fascinating.
Also: clarification: dogs were used to defend against wolves but more often than not it was the bark, not the bite. Deep barks like Maremmas and Mastiffs are still used in parts of Europe, although wolves are rare, they do exist and it’s a choice between shoot or dog and I’m choosing dog every single time (I’m a hunter. I could choose shoot. But dog is a win win situation: I get a friend, I don’t have to shoot an endangered animal, and the wolf gets to live)
A wise choice.
I’m more likely to see a real wolf for reference before I see a Tibetan Mastiff to reference for size. You should have said a washing machine or anything else except another dog especially one that’s not common to see. But you got ur point “unnecessarily” across. Lol.

As someone who's handled more than a few rescued wolves and wolfdogs, THANK YOU for your continuing respect for these gorgeous animals. As much as I like referring to them as "spicy forest puppers", they do NOT mess around when they're motivated, and I really wish more people and dogs would remember that and leave them alone. (Also, don't send your dog after a bear either, anonymous dude in the clip. You don't know whether there are cubs in the neighborhood, and if there are you'll probably lose your dog.)
Definitely agreed. There needs to be stricter regulations on ownership. My neighbor had a wolf when I was little and they let it out and it came into our yard and mauled me. It lasted a minute or less but it tore all the skin off my shoulder and was chomping down on my head before my grandpa scared it off. The only reason I survived was because the hood of my jacket stayed on. I think people forget they are capable of serious damage
If I remember, there is actually a breed of dog that was specifically bred to help hunt bears
There's also a breed of dog bred to take down wolves-even timber wolves. Their skin hangs loose so they can wrestle free from bite-grips.
I used to have a neighbor who had a wolf/malamute mix and he was Large. Very leggy and lanky, not as heavily built as you'd think. He was like, 12 so he was pretty chill, but you definitely didn't want to mess with him. And you NEVER approached him first. Just looking at him you immediately understood the rules. He was the undisputed king of the neighborhood.
I once saw something that looked exactly like the wolf in the video dead in the road. I thought it was a black bear, but the legs were clearly doglike, and it was definitely bear-sized.
The problem is that this was in New Mexico, where the only wolves, the Mexican grey wolf, is the smallest species of wolf in North America. Plus it was black. I couldn't stop to examine it because it was at the entrance to a narrow bridge with no shoulder.
I never did figure out what it was, but this was only a mile or so from a reservation where a coworker and I saw a _massive_ beaver, easily six feet long, that we _thought_ was dead.
We got out of our cars and looked at it from just a few feet away and it never moved, but when my coworker went back with a camera to take pictures (this was before camera phones), it was gone, and there was no blood or bits of car at the site as there would have been if it had been hit as we had assumed. Maybe there's some timber wolves living on the rez, too, who knows?
Seeing animals being recognized for heroic acts and receiving medals is the most wholesome but sad thing, sad only because we humans started the war to begin with. As great as it is to honor our men and women in the service for their Valor, bravery, and conviction. Seeing an animal being honored just hits different every time ❤
What does it matter to a bird whether it receives medals or not. It got handicapped.
The humans fighting in the war didn't start it either.

We used to have a German Shepherd who suffered some gene defects that basically allowed him to grow back into wolf size. For him, his first 3 years of life were full of growth pain, but when he was done, he had 110 pounds of pure lean muscle, his head was as wide as my (I'm a 6 foot man) torso (including shoulders), with paws the size of my hands including fingers. It's insane to think about that that's what's hidden in wolf's DNA, just waiting to be activated.

Cher Ami by Harry Webb Farrington (1926)
Cher Ami, how do you do!
Listen, let me talk to you; I'll not hurt you, don't you see?
Come a little close to me. Little scrawny blue and white
Messenger for men who fight,
Tell me of the deep, red scar,
There, just where no feathers are. What about your poor left leg?
Tell me, Cher Ami, I beg. All the world is at a loss, How you won that Silver Cross. "The finest fun that came to me
Was when I went with Whittlesey;
We marched so fast, so far ahead!
'We all are lost,' the keeper said; 'Mon Cher Ami - that's my dear friend
You are the one we'll have to send;
The whole battalion now is lost, And you must win at any cost.' So with the message tied on tight; I flew up straight with all my might,
Before I got up high enough, Those watchful guns began to puff.
Machine gun bullets came like rain,
You'd think I was an aeroplane; And when I started to the rear, My! the shot was coming near! But on I flew, straight as a bee; The wind could not catch up with me,
Until I dropped out of the air, Into our own men's camp, it’s fair!
But, Cher Ami, upon my word, You modest, modest little bird; Now don't you know that you forgot?
Tell how your breast and leg were shot. Oh yes the day we crossed the Meuse
I flew to Rampont with the news;
Again the bullets came like hail, I thought for sure that I should fail.
The bullets buzzed by like a bee,
So close, it nearly frightened me;
One struck the feathers of this sail,
Another went right through my tail. But when I got back to the rear, I found they’d hit me, here and here;
But that is nothing, never mind; Old Poilu, there is nearly blind.
I only care for what they said, For when they saw the way I bled,
And found in front a swollen lump,
The message hanging from my stump The French and Mine said, 'Tres bien!'
Or 'Very good' -- American. Mon Cher Ami, you brought good news Our Army's gone across the Meuse! You surely had a lucky call! And so I'm glad. I guess that's all.
I'll sit, so pardon me, I beg; It's hard astanding on one leg!

That feathery bastard was not only hearing constant gunfire, but also the deafening impacts of 75mm and 105mm HE shells and *still* had his shit together enough to get through multiple gunshot wounds
To this day, the story of cher amie is one of the greatest stories I’ve heard. Hundreds of men survived a death sentence in the worst chaos of war possible because of that single pigeon. He survived immense odds to save those people. What that pigeon did is like if a human courier got shot with a cannonball and proceeded to run an ultra marathon back to headquarters to carry his message. Unbelievable.

I had a neighbor who had a wolf hybrid. She actually the sweetest gentlest dog I had met. My large 15 lbs Pomeranian LOVED her. She would let him jump all over her, while she lay on her back. She would put his whole head in her mouth , but not bite down, with him just sitting there looking happy about it. She was HUGE. If she put her front paws on my shoulders she still towered over me by a good head length. It was just amazing how something that large could be so gentle. Amazing that she loved playing with my Pomeranian but was never rough enough to hurt him when she was probably 10x his weight!
Dogs have an uncanny ability to be exceedingly gentle with small things, probably owing to pack instincts for caring for young. It's breathtaking sometimes.
Read a few times that wolves do this put in their mouth without biting thing as social bonding.
There's even this crazy dude who spent years pretending to be a wolf and living in the litteral middle of the pack.
You'd see these shots when the leader of the pack does it to the human, then when he was leader of the pack for some time, other wolves would kind of expect him to do it and be socially giddy and validated when he'd open his mouth for their heads to try and go in.
Ps: cats do something a little bit similar with gentle tiny bites and nibbles too with friends and family even when not play fightning. A little bite or chew then off they go continuing their day.
Anyway thanks for sharing, so sweet.
@@goldenpony822 I had not heard that about why they put each other’s heads in their mouths. Thanks for sharing.

@@bunnygirl2448 wonderful creatures you describe there. That just sounds so lovely.
If you're curious YT has some great shots with a few of those curious wolf interactions.
By the way I must specify, the gentle bite I was mentioning from cats is done on the side of the furr, when it's done on paws as they often do is more about dominance.

We just need to think outside the box.
Genius. Pure genius
I love This Guy😂
The human version of “mutualism”.
@k.hendrickson8735 This is very true! But keep in mind, it is much less reliable than commercial pesticides. Now, for a garden, this issue is relatively small. If you get 33 tomatoes instead of 36, it's not that big of a deal.
The real problem starts to emerge when you start looking at how we feed society and realize that commercial farms have to use these types of pesticides to produce enough food for current consumption rates. Now, there are proposed solutions, both as concepts and plans, but it's a huge WIP.
I bring this up only to say that thinking outside of the box is important. However, it can only be done when you understand the results of thinking inside the box and the mechanisms behind those conclusions. So, use garlic in your garden, it's much better. But also recognize this isn't going to be a society wide solution. It's also very much worth mentioning that if food production drops, it isn't us in rich countries who will suffer the most. It will be those who are most vulnerable in the most vulnerable regions of the world.

@@RambunctiousReptilian as I said, self-defence, in a time when the sturdist material your home was made of might be a mammoth ribcage or tusk, you don't got a way to keep a determined predator out at night.
Just a speculation but maybe that's why so many human species went extinct- those who couldn't defend themselves died out. And those who survived had no choice but to hunt the other animals to extinction. Maybe that's how humans even started forming communities. It was definitely much easier to be with a herd than be a lone human in the goddamn stone age when giant lizards were still around...
Early humans specifically hunted them to extinction, like they did to most of the other Pleistocene megafauna. Premodern -and especially pre-agricultural - human history is all about ecocide, wiping out prey animals and “inconvenient” species. Modernity gets so much flak for destroying the Earth, but this is actually the least environmentally destructive era since humans first appeared on this planet. Respect for other animals and the environment is a (relatively) recent innovation.

@@MrJohnnyDistortion New Zealand had no mammalian predators before the Europeans, hence why some of the birds were flightless and/or nested on the ground, and had no fear of the cats and rats that came with the Europeans, which decimated a lot of the local wildlife. Only found in the Chatham Islands the last remaining black robins were caught and transferred to a couple of small islands in the group that had been cleared of cats and rats and with help from conservationists were saved from extinction.

Thank you and thanks to those that saved them. But, are they actually safe?
Great one, although in some years the northern white rhino will have it beat
@@MrJohnnyDistortion humans are disgusting and greedy, that's why.
I am currently pursuing a zoology degree in hopes of working in wildlife rehab and one thing I promised myself never to forget is that, regardless of how attached I am to an animal I'm caring for, a wild animal is still a wild animal.
Good luck
Wild human is just that. A wild human.
It’s so easy when ur working with animals to eagerly work towards handling the “badass” (ie. dangerous) ones out of excitement, def gotta learn fast why that’s not a great idea even when u see others handle the same individual animal with ease
@@bannedwagoner69 working with "badass" animals isn't my goal at all. I will be just as happy caring for a songbird or squirrel as I would be caring for a hawk or bobcat. It isn't about how rehabbing an animal makes me look to other people, it's about helping the animals for the sake of the environment and the animals themselves.

Cher Ami is perhaps the greatest war hero who ever lived. He saved 195 lives, all without shedding any blood but his own.
Survived it too...something was on that birds side that day.
He isn't Hero, he is victim of war...he didn't mean to save those people, he just want to get back to his nest
@@ghufroon4134 which could be said for all the people in war also.
@@ghufroon4134 He is a hero. Heroes don’t go to war to be heroes. Heroes are born because the situation they are in calls them to be
Before the fight Amie was a normal pigeon who was trained to navigate but only wanted to be home. But he’s a hero because despite everything he did what he had to do and saved lives in the process
@@zaganim3813 the different is, this bird don't know he is at war
I gotta say bro I respect how far you've taken this... You actually taught me more than animal planet and discovery all in like 5 episodes lol. Definitely have nothing but respect for the research you do
This guy stole another video and took some talking point from Joe Rogan. This guy is a liar and a sham, he tricked all of you. This is entirely not true, the original video context is different, this ape was from a rival tribe.
The story with the pigeon was heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time.
Thank you for your service, Cher Amie
That pigeon has accomplished more than all the people on TikTok combined. Literally don't even come close. Rest in peace soldier.
It honestly ain’t hard to accomplish more than all of people on that app, simply delete TikTok and you’ll have done it

Whenever I think that humans are the cruelest species, this channel opens my eyes that some species can be a lot crueler.
I think humans are cruelest by far, IMO
Agreed
Your human, so you have a bias to our cruelty
Its only when you try to live as a being not a person, you can really analyze the depravity.
No animal charges tax to live in the woods, and kills or imprisons you for failing to do so in the manner they told you.
The animal would ether kill you or walk away, and humans do that too. . . So please tell me more 😂😂
Well no humans r still more cruel
No I would say it’s a tie between chimpanzees and humans it feels wrong to type that. We are as bad as monkeys that tear other monkeys’s balls off but it’s true.
I'm in my 40's and I'm still learning from this channel. Thank you.
"You might be from the hood but he's from the wood' 😂
That pigeon is truly a badass. If an afterlife exists, he deserves to be in the upper echelons of heroes and legends.
I don't remember seeing anything about animals in the Norse Mythology, but Cher Amie might be able to roost in Valhalla.
But forget the people that died during the war
He flying in Valhalla
@@drewarnett3180 if I were to choose between a bird who saved 140 soldiers and a random dude that didn't save anyone and only did the minimum I'd choose to award the bird
Damn those chimps wanted pimu's blood thatday they had no mercy on him
" -it's a salamander."
I like how you timed that for anyone thinking 'what is that?!' like me. Nice
Fun fact: Cher Ami was a female pigeon. They only found that out by the time she was dead, so she was posthumously renamed to Cher Amie, the feminine version of her name.
It's said the only reason creatures like Crocodiles, Komodo and Cassowary aren't big enough to eat a horse whole is because the oxygen content of the air today isn't as high as it was in prehistoric times, so land creatures can't support growing to such sizes anymore.
I'm from Barcelona and i remember snowflake("floquet de neu" in catalan, there is even a cartoon movie )... he died when i was a child and i remember everybody was so sad... He was so much beloved in Barcelona. He lived 39 years.

All I gotta say about that last story is that its impressive how they were far from their land as they made their stand
A disregarded demand
They will never comply they would rather die
1. Never in my life have I seen a wolf THAT big.
2. I really liked the albino gorilla. It looked pretty happy.
3. Thank you for another informative and educational video. Stay Hood, Nature!
i think i saw the Gorilla first on an album cover by Basement Jaxx.
Bruh that ain’t no gorilla, that’s skips from regular show 💀

I'm litterly bawling at the pigeon story right now. God bless that pigeon, and may the highest military ranks salute him. 😭❤🩹
As someone that has a Husky and spent time living in the Rockies, there are two takeaways from that. Firstly, when my Husky decides he's going to howl or otherwise verbalize himself, there is no question as to whether or not he is related to a wolf. Secondly, I've been within 50 feet of a timberwolf. There is no other canine scarier than that in my opinion.
Hi There! Husky Lover Here Too! I Had 2 Beautiful Sisters!!
Stay Safe and Healthy My Friend!!
That makes no sense btw
Agreed, i live in the canadian rockeys, very, very big dogs, the females are 130lbs sure, but the males in the mountains can get close to 200lbs. Me and my dad ran into one late at night smoking some weed and we had no idea it was on the side of the trail till about 20ft away. Im more scared of them than bears or cougars by far. Cheers!🍻

I had a dog that had enough genetics from a Timberwolf to be considered illegal. Mom got it in nunavik as a "sled dog", we found out when we neutered him, the vet was very lenient and didn't report it lmao
0:50 in the top pic you can see Pimu realizing just how badly he'd f'ed up and also realizing exactly what's going to happen to him
Few years ago i went to an animal park with gigantic enclosures- and i even got the chance to pet one of those przewalsky horses and her foal 🥺 they are so majestic and beautiful and i love how much space to run around they have there
I've heard Cher Amis' story a dozen times, but it never fails to make me tear up a little. R.I.P. little buddy.
YOUR STORY TELLING IS BY FAR THE BEST. NO ONE DOES IT BETTER THAN YOU. GLAD I FOUND YOUR CHANNEL
Chimps are one of our nearest cousin species, but i'd feel safer round a gator or snake then i would a chimp.
Discovery Channel needs to give this man his own show. Haven't seen animal facts like this since I was a kid.
He deserves a show because he can use the internet?
@@KrislaneGC he can use the internet EFFECTIVELY and goes above and beyond to research a topic
@@KrislaneGC it's because he has an amazing view on the world and can share that view. He shared informations in an extremely efficient way while being hilarious and unbiased too.
@@M1N1molo literally anyone can do that, you do know shows have writers? And with discovery Channel I think it's safe to assume they have researchers
@@KrislaneGC You honestly think anyone can do this? Most people can't be bothered to research basic shit they're convinced of, much less be entertaining, persuasive, unbiased, and thorough, all at once. Brother, if everyone could do this the world would be a much better place.
About the Mongolian horses, I have another awesome story, this time about the recovery of a beautiful feline: the Iberian lynx.
The population in Spain was as low as 92 individuals back in 2002. 20 years later, after breeding and reintroducing efforts, they've gone up to a staggering 1365 cats!! That's almost a 15x growth in just two decades!!
Ah, the beauty of cousin-love.
@@userequaltoNull bros really went full Alabama ☠️
That pigeon story actually made me tear up and I don't even know why. The cynical part of me wants to be angry about animals dying for human wars they had no cause in. But it's just too beautiful of a story.
