When I was 21 I moved to New York City. One morning I opened up the medicine cabinet, and found a giant cockroach picking through the bristles of my toothbrush. Then it occurred to me that this might not be the first time it happened, and I had been using a filthy tooth brush for weeks. I burst into tears and had a huge panic attack. I'm 58 now, and I remember it like it was yesterday.
6:30 I was stalked once by a mountain lion. I was hiking alone and figured I had just one chance. I knew acting like prey would just get me killed so I did the opposite: I screamed and ran right at the cat. This startled the cat and he ran off. Scared the hell out of me though, and I was afraid the cat might come at me again, but I never saw it again.
I live in NM and am alone in the mountains often. I hope I never run into one. Who knows how many times I’ve ridden under a tree where a mountain lion might have been resting or waiting for prey. Fortunately, I usually have dogs with me.
@@salliegallegos918 The vast majority of the time mountain lions will nope out of there before you ever see them. It's why attacks are so rare, and why predators that attack humans have to be destroyed. Most animals are terrified of humans, for good reason. If they lose that fear and discover that humans are easy to catch and kill, the become super dangerous. Polar bears are a rare exception. Fortunately polar bears only live in places humans don't want to live in, so encounters are rare. In those few places where humans do live in polar bear habitat laws exist that require people to be armed while outside.
I was confronted by a stray aggressive Dog. Instead of running like most people normally would be inclined to do , I did my best imitation of repeating the growls and lunges back at that Dog. It made a final lunge at me so I charged It and when it turned away ,I chased that Dog as It went yelping away with Its tail so tucked between Its legs that it looked like the tip of the tail was almost touching the "chin" of that Dog. It never tried to come at me again. I had Friends tell me that " Something is wrong with me" to cause me to chase aggressive Dogs when confronted by Them. I guess People can presume whatever , I just have no desire to get bitten .
@El Cruzer ohh I know dude wasn't kidding that way too much emotion, camera twitching, high pitchness. Might have lost his voice and some neighbors and sleep after that episode.... Get a 2 cat they need a friend too
Fun fact, when my brother was 18 a cockroach ( a big one) got inside his ear while he was asleep. He woke up screaming murder and was in incredible pain, he got to the hospital and they pulled out a cockroach and it actually ate his ear drum. We also found out that eardrums repair/regrow! Every one was shocked and horrified. We slept with cotton wool in our ears for months after!
Just remember to purchase a box of Borax next time you go buy Clothes washing soap. Then when you get back home..make sure you can put some into those plastic bottle caps in all corners under your kitchen sink, under sink in batroom, in & around where you usually keep your garbage bin and anyplace where you usually throw food outside preferably in a corner area from water or rain. You see, these critters will usually eat & consume this Brorax Detergent and the Borax when hits the water liquid in its stomach & intestines, will make them die by swelling up their inards!
@@UltimateForceMarketing Yes, we had roaches REALLY bad, when I was growing up. It got so bad that they would even be in the refrigerator. My grandma heard of a borax mixture that supposedly got rid of them. She put it all around the baseboards and stuff. Not long after, there were no roaches at all, from what I remember. We had a lot of what we called ‘teenage roaches’ and baby roaches.
I love that almost anyone I’ve heard talking about their experience of surviving an animal attack never blame the animal AND YOU SHOULDN’T! If you know you’re in dangerous animal territory, you need to put the responsibility on yourself to prepare and know what you’re getting into. A wild animal will behave as a wild animal and no matter how big or small, how seemingly friendly or unfriendly, just leave them alone and keep your distance
i lived in singapore for 5 years and we would always walk around the harbour and see this same family of otters that had 4 babies. it was kinda cool to see them grow up
Miles, i lived there from 1990/2003 and i dont believe that these Otters were there during that time or i would have seen there cause i cycled all over Singapore especially EastCoast Seaside
@underforcemarketing yes, sounds like you were there a little early for this particular phenomenon! From a Guardian article “Singapore’s smooth-coated otter population has more than doubled since 2019, with roughly 17 families fishing for tilapia in waterways, sleeping under bridges and ravaging private fish ponds.” I hope that you get a chance to go back and meet them - maybe you could cycle (or bus) around and see all 17! :)
I don't even know how I stumbled across this video, but the host imitating a mountain lion with a chainsmoker voice is the best thing I've seen all day.
I believe she forgot to mention that Mountain Lions are the only big cats that meow and purr. My information comes from Big Cat Rescue in Florida! If she did mention it, then I apologize!
@@gaylejohnson8808 I'm happy that you learned something. I find myself learning almost every time I'm on the internet! Just goes to show that a person can still learn no matter their age. Thanks and stay safe! PS: I would have replied sooner, but have spent the last 14 hours trying to get my internet to work.
I usually intimidate mountain lions (and other dangerous wildlife) with a 12 gauge shotgun or a revolver chambered in .44 magnum or larger. It works a lot better than yelling and I haven’t been eaten yet.
When we see cockroaches we realise that a vacumcleaner is a weapon of choice, afterwards the vacumcleaner is rewarded with a week long outdoor holiday on the balcony.
I absolutely love this lady she is so funny I dont think she realizes how comical she is and so knowledgable could watch her all day love it keep it up thanks
Funny how us Aussies will tolerate the the threat of a lot of animals- snakes= fine, spiders= fine, crocodiles- shoo it off with a thong...but cockies are TERRIFYING
Cockroaches are universally disliked! Americans and everyone else in the world share these sentiments! She is right you will absolutely destroy a house to figure out where the one you saw went because there can be others!
I love Magpies and yes I have been chased. But I have learnt how to work with them so you dont get swooped. Also the reason why you will get swooped every year is because the male magpie has an exceptional memory, so if you showed or wore something that it deemed threatening than, he will go after you.
@@Paislywalls4767 Me & my wife found that out in Military Housing. One apt would bomb, then the next. ... so on .... Never stopping and we always had roaches after the apartment after us bombed. Wish humans were as resistant and able to survive as roaches.
I've heard and read several accounts of puma attacks on humans. It seems they have a habit of going for skull - this man's description is spot on, with the exception that he saw the cat coming and was able to vigorously fight back with a knife. Pumas are ambush predators and most survivors speak of being caught completely unawares while hiking or jogging.
He did say he came upon the animal while it was with it's prey, so it would not have been hunting at that time. When they are hunting they are good at hiding, even when they are not hunting, they make almost no noise. There are cougars where I live, I have only seen one out it the wild once. I was in a car, so it was fine.
Are they, generally, 'attacks' though? I imagine that what happens, mostly, is that people take the Puma by surprise and force it into a confrontation. What we call 'attacks' are often just really aggressive 'defenses'. They're wild animals. Attack and defense present in very similar ways. Having said that - terrifying! I'd want to always have with me an air horn and some bear or pepper spray. And a big stick. And maybe some rocks to throw to demonstrate, to the Puma, that I'm a sophisticated creature that can throw things. Most of all - I need my first, "Leave me alone!" to be decisive and unambiguous.
@@sylvia106 In Colorado we call them Mountain Lions! Probably because of the beautiful Rocky Mountains! However; I've heard them called "Pumas", just not a common name we say here! Stay safe!
We had someone who was bicycling got killed by a puma and another was attacked here in Washington state. They were tracked down and killed by Fish & Wildlife personnel.
I lived on a farm in Arkansas growing up, and I was meeting my brother outside as he was coming out of the woods after hunting. I heard a scream...like a person screaming. Made a chill run down my spine. My brother said it was a mountain lion.
The Monty Python soundtrack during the otter attack cracked me up. Also, I laughed a lot realizing Ann had exactly the same reaction as me when the dude almost chopped his cat in half. Keep up the good work!

Our dog was scratched on the nose by a river otter once. He wanted to play, but the river otter didn't want to. He was fine, but always had a little scar on his nose.
Boars are insane. Growing up on a big farm in canada We had a neighbor who owned a huge herd and he had a fence break, they were everywhere. And they were so mean, my sister's got trapped in their car by one it was charging the car, they drove up to my granddads house to try and get rescued, the boar started charging the front door of his house and he had to shoot it from the kitchen window with his deer rifle. The farmer who owned the pigs just basically went around and told all the neighbors to start shooting them on sight due to them being so agressive, pretty much the whole area had free pork for a year or more, we shot and butchered 3 that year. One was a massive male that was the size of a friggin bear.
I have to give credit to that farmer, at least he was willing to lose his investment to keep other people safe. I'm sure that some people would have demanded that be handled differently.
Cockroaches have always had wings 👼 even if you have to learn about it for the very first time; in an encounter. This is no breaking news, if you come from the country side.
There are some,which we call"ship-cockroach "who can fly more than 15 metres up......they can attack like a shtukas aeroplane, 5 stories up........pure horrors. ....
I never use to be afraid of cockroaches until we moved to Australia and came face to face with the 2 inch Aussie flying cockroaches I hate them in the house, don’t care when I find them in the garden I leave them alone as you said they have a job to do in the wild. I just don’t want them in the house😹😹😹😹
Kiwi here, I have vivid memories of standing in the middle of my flat kitchen sobbing and calling for help when l lived in Perth. Made the mistake of wandering barefoot into the kitchen for a glass of water. Had to cross to the other side of the room to turn on the light and when l did all I could hear was a sort of woosh click as hundreds of cockroaches flew around me and landed on the walls. Was as close to hysterical as l have ever been.
We have them in the states too, they're called palmetto bugs, are giant flying cockroaches and at night you can hear them banging into your windows as they fly into them attracted by the light. 2 to 2 1/2" isn't uncommon...found in Florida btw
My uncle went boar hunting and a boar got the jump on him. At one point he was holding the boar by his ears, face to face on his back and screaming at his buddy to shoot the dam critter.
@@harrykuheim6107 just so you know my family lives in Central Europe. And based on my uncle i’d say it was a one to 2 year old boar, not a full grown animal. Enough to scare my uncle sh**less.

Oh My! 😂😂😂was not expecting lawn explosion 💥💥💥 cannot stop laughing. Thank you. I had already subscribed on a previous video,first view ever. You are a very fun, natural teacher. I am 66 and am particularly delighted due to the recent removal of an excellent, free, over the air tv channel that was educational and had a wonderful variety of shows from afar. You are a blessing to come across😂😂 I have an ankle injury requiring rest and I appreciate you making good use of my time and mind. Carry on 😊
I love good animal shows, and these are very good videos. I've got to admit that Dr. Ann Jones is more fun to watch than the video about the animals themselves. I wind up watching them twice.
Seals are more like Lions if we consider their size. I've caught seals more than 300 kg. That's like 550-600 pounds, I think. Their teeth are enormous when they are that size.
The hostess is SOOO SWEET and animated, I ❤ her - subscribed - If you keep your place and surroundings CLEAN - don't drop crumbs, use a plate, eat at the table - you will not have roaches or mice even if the complex is loaded with them. It's a proven fact... if they can't eat, they won't stay. Clean behind the oven, fridge, keep cabinet shelves free of crumbs, etc., et al.
Thank you so much. This was in my recommended list for the last couple weeks. I loved the animal body language information especially with the puma. But you are an awesome teacher. I have learned so much and I'm an adult who has lived more than a few decades where we have cockroaches and pumas. I am a new subscriber. You are great.
I was taking a bath in my fourth floor apartment in lower Manhattan, when I saw something fall from the window ledge high up the wall. It was doing the breast stroke next to me! It’s a good thing my roommate was out, because I went vertical, butt naked out of the tub into the living room. I saw plenty of rats while living in NYC, too, but keeping two cats was the key to keeping them out of my living quarters.
I remember the news report-back when it was news, not just propaganda-of a guy in the Philippines who ate cockroaches on a dare. Weeks passed, and he was feeling ill. He went to the doctor. They found the cockroaches had laid eggs, and he had a colony of cockroaches living in his stomach.
OMG. I live where lizards, Anole, live. Twice I've found one, alive but theres someone INSIDE of them, eating their way Out. Its so pathetic. I need to research and find out who's doing this?
Dang! Glad that guy made it somebody😇 was on his side. He was saved. His demeanor makes you realize why. He's smart and respectful. He understands he was in the cat's territory. That respect is needed from all humans. Not to just kill it because it got too close to you. Maybe, you got too close to it? Animals are scary to me even ppls pets. 🙄 I have that through understanding to respect all animals and stay away as much as possible. I like staring at animals too...just in my screen is close enough.💜✌
Hi Ann👐 I'm a new subby from NZ, I just watched your vid, and I just want to say "IT WAS AWESOME", I totally loved it. Thankyou so much for posting it. I'm an animal and nature lover and your vid provided some really useful information. I m looking forward to watching more of your vids, got a lot of catching up to do with your past post vids, it's my day off today so it's gonna be a an ABC Science vid day for me.😉👍❤
Toxoplasmosis Gondi also infects people. It allegedly is part of why we think they're so cute. I often wonder if our friendship with the smaller cats is what gave us the idea to try "befriending" other creatures.
I used to be friends with this family a long time ago, who wanted me to take care of their place while they were all out of town. I went over there the 1st day after they left and there were roaches running across the kitchen floor. So I decided to get nosy and look around. I found roaches inside the oven, I found them in the cupboards, I found them lining the wall lije wall paper behind the refrigerator and all of the cabinets. After that I was too grossed out to watch the place and I never went back. I just told them I did. They were probably in the light switch in this video too. Fkn gross.
@@roolenoir3183 You personify the earth by using a relative pronoun that is only used syntactically to refer to a person or an animal with a name. If you are an animist that believes that all living things are inhabited by a spirit, then I would accept the association that you are also claiming the earth could be inhabited. But the chance is that you're just a run-of-the-mill secular humanist that wholly accepts macro-evolution and would be comfortable referring to this planet as Mother Earth. In my evolving struggle to understand the origin and development of life in our galaxy, I accept the possibility of inherent design and guidance by exo-intelligences which I describe as an omnipotent Creator and (an) alien specie(s), the latter being involved in an unknown capacity at (an) unknown time(s ). Not being able to disprove the existence of either intelligence, have you foreclosed on the possibility of either existing? What I consider the greatest scientific minds post-Renaissance, Newton, Einstein and Tesla, all humbly gave credence to a Creator of the universe and its governing physical laws. Can you?
If I had to go live in Australia I'd seriously be scared of the prospect of living with the spiders and snakes there. I would need a classroom on the indigenous species so I don't auto-panic at every single spider I see.
closer relative of the cougar is not the housecat, but the cheetah and surprising the jaguarundi ( a shortlegged cat) It also had a now extinct relative that was a mix of cheetah and cougar called the Miracinonyx.
I visited my Dad in Indonesia and was fascinated by the HUGE cockroaches they have there. I used to pick up spiders with my bare hands if they needed saving and was not at all afraid, but rather curious by the roaches. Then one suddenly turned around and came right at me at that surprising speed they have... and I shrieked like a Hollywood damsel and jumped backward about a meter up on the bed of the hotelroom. That was when I realised how little one knows oneself. Shocking discovery.
When I was 21 I moved to New York City. One morning I opened up the medicine cabinet, and found a giant cockroach picking through the bristles of my toothbrush. Then it occurred to me that this might not be the first time it happened, and I had been using a filthy tooth brush for weeks. I burst into tears and had a huge panic attack. I'm 58 now, and I remember it like it was yesterday.

Kiwi here, I have vivid memories of standing in the middle of my flat kitchen sobbing and calling for help when l lived in Perth. Made the mistake of wandering barefoot into the kitchen for a glass of water. Had to cross to the other side of the room to turn on the light and when l did all I could hear was a sort of woosh click as hundreds of cockroaches flew around me and landed on the walls. Was as close to hysterical as l have ever been.
We have them in the states too, they're called palmetto bugs, are giant flying cockroaches and at night you can hear them banging into your windows as they fly into them attracted by the light. 2 to 2 1/2" isn't uncommon...found in Florida btw
My uncle went boar hunting and a boar got the jump on him. At one point he was holding the boar by his ears, face to face on his back and screaming at his buddy to shoot the dam critter.
Sure he did...My Uncle did that too.
I lived in West Africa and warthogs can be vicious, too.
@@harrykuheim6107 just so you know my family lives in Central Europe. And based on my uncle i’d say it was a one to 2 year old boar, not a full grown animal. Enough to scare my uncle sh**less.
I love this series!!!
"but without a mouth they go hungry. and they only last about two weeks" ONLY two weeks???
update: otters are necropheliacs?? nobody tell lars von trier
With enough fat humans can go many months without food.
You are an incredible presenter. So easy to listen to and so knowledgeable.
This lady was so fun to watch! I've gotta find more videos with her!
I like Dr. Jones a lot. Great knowledge and sense of humor. Good looking too.
Oh My!
😂😂😂was not expecting lawn explosion 💥💥💥 cannot stop laughing. Thank you. I had already subscribed on a previous video,first view ever.
You are a very fun, natural teacher.
I am 66 and am particularly delighted due to the recent removal of an excellent, free, over the air tv channel that
was educational and had a wonderful variety of shows from afar. You are a blessing to come across😂😂 I have an ankle injury requiring rest and I appreciate you making good use of my time and mind. Carry on 😊
I can’t get enough of the Doctor.
I love Ann Jones' reactions! I hope there are hundreds more videos with her
I just found this series, but Dr. Ann is so fun to watch talk about animals. I could watch this all day, honestly.
I absolutely adore dr Ann! I first found her on u tube shorts n now m binge watching all her vids ❤❤❤
2:29 it doesnt matter what language a man girly screams in.... its always funny AF.....LMAO
BEST video I've seen in a long time. Love your narration.
G'day and welcome! Thanks for watching. You can check out our Down Under series here 👉 ab.co/38ytwFt
Don't forget the giant otter in Amazonas, they rule the waters there.
Biggie watra dargoo?
Thank you. Always enjoy watching this series of videos
The cat: Stand back i am already the god in this house!
The otter attack reminds me of the killer rabbit in Monty Python's Holy Grail...
Love your work Dr Jones. ☮️
This was informative and hilarious!
Hey wow! I watched this three yesterday ago! Enjoyed it just as much today. Ha
I love these so much! the only thing my kids will watch with me!
YOUR PERFECT FOR THIS ANN! I ENJOYED THIS TIME WITH YOU AND YOUR ANIMAL LOVE
Your content is great! 😁
Thank you! 😁
I love good animal shows, and these are very good videos. I've got to admit that Dr. Ann Jones is more fun to watch than the video about the animals themselves. I wind up watching them twice.
Otters and seals are not known for being cuddly they just look that way..they are like dogs of the water.
Dogs.Wild dogs?
Seals are more like Lions if we consider their size.
I've caught seals more than 300 kg. That's like 550-600 pounds, I think. Their teeth are enormous when they are that size.
This Doctor needs her own youtube channel PLEASE
The hostess is SOOO SWEET and animated, I ❤ her - subscribed -
If you keep your place and surroundings CLEAN - don't drop crumbs, use a plate, eat at the table - you will not have roaches or mice even if the complex is loaded with them. It's a proven fact... if they can't eat, they won't stay. Clean behind the oven, fridge, keep cabinet shelves free of crumbs, etc., et al.
Excellent! Thanks for sharing an informative and interesting and well presented video!
Loved this, loved you, soooo.....I subbed!!!!!!!
This is a great show, I love her comments, informative and hilarious 😂😂
Thank you so much. This was in my recommended list for the last couple weeks. I loved the animal body language information especially with the puma. But you are an awesome teacher. I have learned so much and I'm an adult who has lived more than a few decades where we have cockroaches and pumas. I am a new subscriber. You are great.
I love her description and imagery of the caterwaul. A bottle and some cigarettes. Sounds like she is having a trip down memory lane.. ; )
Nah bro - she's going this weekend to become even more legendary. Dr Ann Jones, everybody!
I love you!! Your videos are so informative,and you are so funny.
Thanks Shelly!
I once saw my uncle pick up his acoustic guitar and give it a strum, when out of the sound hole FLEW a giant cockroach.
🤣😂😆
I was taking a bath in my fourth floor apartment in lower Manhattan, when I saw something fall from the window ledge high up the wall. It was doing the breast stroke next to me! It’s a good thing my roommate was out, because I went vertical, butt naked out of the tub into the living room. I saw plenty of rats while living in NYC, too, but keeping two cats was the key to keeping them out of my living quarters.
I remember the news report-back when it was news, not just propaganda-of a guy in the Philippines who ate cockroaches on a dare. Weeks passed, and he was feeling ill. He went to the doctor. They found the cockroaches had laid eggs, and he had a colony of cockroaches living in his stomach.
OMG.
I live where lizards, Anole, live. Twice I've found one, alive but theres someone INSIDE of them, eating their way Out. Its so pathetic. I need to research and find out who's doing this?
@@Paislywalls4767 At first, I thought this was some attempt at humor-then it struck me-bot fly parasites.
@@tomcondon6169 nope, don't seem funny at all. I love those little ones. Hate seeing them that way. Thanks for the info.😊
Did NOT need that nightmare fuel!
The commentary was not just informative, it was entertaining and funny. It was a pleasure to watch and listen, I had to rewind so many times! 🥰
the man shouting at his cat that its "jobless" omgggg
Dang! Glad that guy made it somebody😇 was on his side. He was saved. His demeanor makes you realize why. He's smart and respectful. He understands he was in the cat's territory. That respect is needed from all humans. Not to just kill it because it got too close to you. Maybe, you got too close to it? Animals are scary to me even ppls pets. 🙄
I have that through understanding to respect all animals and stay away as much as possible. I like staring at animals too...just in my screen is close enough.💜✌
It's hard to test the intelligence of wild boar but they stack up favourably against most humans...
MAGA comes to mind. 😁
I love this commentator. She always makes me laugh and I love how you can feel her enthusiasm for the animals. ❤
I cant imagine being eyed by a cougar.......as its eyes dialate from the excitement it is starting to feel seeing me as a prey item! 😳😳🙁🙁☹️☹️😟😟😥😥😵😵😵😵
Agree!
No-one is ever ready when it's Boar Time.
Who is this AMAZING (DOCTOR) ANN JONES?!! IMHO, she should be commentating on absolutely everything! 💕
She's awesome 👌
This was very interesting and well presented. I knew about these animals but this had me look at them a whole different way.
Why on why would you blow up your backyard, especially when your dogs are literally ON THE GRASS!
That was pretty insane!
I enjoyed your video
Its a wonderful place to go to see nature at its best. You communicate with the audiences your beauty captivates
A smart cat best be afraid of rats, they're smart and tough little darlings
The toxoplasmosis infected rats are, effectively, trying to commit suicide though. Toxoplasmosis is fascinating.
I like the exploding yard scene too! Also, the rats chasing cats is hysterical! The narator is also whimsical and humorous❣🐾🐞
lol! With the cougar...the kids are outback.......shhhhh.....mary! Dont wanna scare the cat
Great teacher!
Puma looks at the guy with the "far side" thought: nice pick juicy skin and muscle; no horns, fur or tusks.
Hi Ann👐 I'm a new subby from NZ, I just watched your vid, and I just want to say "IT WAS AWESOME", I totally loved it. Thankyou so much for posting it. I'm an animal and nature lover and your vid provided some really useful information. I m looking forward to watching more of your vids, got a lot of catching up to do with your past post vids, it's my day off today so it's gonna be a an ABC Science vid day for me.😉👍❤
Toxoplasmosis Gondi also infects people. It allegedly is part of why we think they're so cute. I often wonder if our friendship with the smaller cats is what gave us the idea to try "befriending" other creatures.
Thanks Jan, really enjoyed this👍
Tip for people who want to go outdoors. Keep firecrackers and a good lighter with you. May save your life.
Smart !!! That never even occurred to me!!
Bring a gun anytime you leave your house for any reason. Even shopping.
Love the Commentator! She's real! I'm a subscriber because of her!
I used to be friends with this family a long time ago, who wanted me to take care of their place while they were all out of town. I went over there the 1st day after they left and there were roaches running across the kitchen floor. So I decided to get nosy and look around. I found roaches inside the oven, I found them in the cupboards, I found them lining the wall lije wall paper behind the refrigerator and all of the cabinets. After that I was too grossed out to watch the place and I never went back. I just told them I did. They were probably in the light switch in this video too. Fkn gross.
Ugh! 😭 Why or how would anyone let their living space get so infested? Goodness, I’d have a stroke! 🤣.
i JUST FOUND YOUR CHANNEL! I love it, new Sub!
OUR FATHER IS AMAZING WITH ALL HIS CREATIONS...😊
And so is the earth who bore them.
@@roolenoir3183 You personify the earth by using a relative pronoun that is only used syntactically to refer to a person or an animal with a name. If you are an animist that believes that all living things are inhabited by a spirit, then I would accept the association that you are also claiming the earth could be inhabited. But the chance is that you're just a run-of-the-mill secular humanist that wholly accepts macro-evolution and would be comfortable referring to this planet as Mother Earth.
In my evolving struggle to understand the origin and development of life in our galaxy, I accept the possibility of inherent design and guidance by exo-intelligences which I describe as an omnipotent Creator and (an) alien specie(s), the latter being involved in an unknown capacity at (an) unknown time(s ). Not being able to disprove the existence of either intelligence, have you foreclosed on the possibility of either existing? What I consider the greatest scientific minds post-Renaissance, Newton, Einstein and Tesla, all humbly gave credence to a Creator of the universe and its governing physical laws. Can you?
What does your dad have to do with any of this? Is he a biologist?
What has your dad been up to?
I like this show. Keep up the good work
If I had to go live in Australia I'd seriously be scared of the prospect of living with the spiders and snakes there. I would need a classroom on the indigenous species so I don't auto-panic at every single spider I see.
These are amazing! Love your sense of humour 😅
closer relative of the cougar is not the housecat, but the cheetah and surprising the jaguarundi ( a shortlegged cat)
It also had a now extinct relative that was a mix of cheetah and cougar called the Miracinonyx.
I visited my Dad in Indonesia and was fascinated by the HUGE cockroaches they have there. I used to pick up spiders with my bare hands if they needed saving and was not at all afraid, but rather curious by the roaches. Then one suddenly turned around and came right at me at that surprising speed they have... and I shrieked like a Hollywood damsel and jumped backward about a meter up on the bed of the hotelroom. That was when I realised how little one knows oneself. Shocking discovery.
Have you lived in the southeastern US? We have pretty giant flying palmetto bugs like that.
You've got the greatest laugh!
Informative and entertaining !!!!
