- Wildlife biologist Liz Bonnin sets off on a worldwide journey of discovery to find out why animals of different species make friends with each other, and even fall in love.
Wildlife biologist Liz Bonnin goes on a journey of discovery to find out the science behind unusual interactions in the animal kingdom. Some of the surprising associations include a polar bear befriending huskies, a cat mothering ducklings, and an orangutan who keeps a pet dog. These odd pairings are not just limited to different species; animal relationships with humans are also explored, as people have been known to keep exotic pets such as lions, hippos and buffalos. Bonnin investigates the root of the affectionate connections and tries to uncover the reasons for the behaviours.
Some people have sought out unusual, and even potentially dangerous relationships, with some very surprising animals.

the polar bear guy spends so much time with a polar bear he’s starting to look like one
People look like their pets.
So the wife is the one pretty much neglected in this equation
6:49 lol
Pathetic.
hahahahaha you are so mean:-) but as I saw him with the polar bear, they have same hair colour and somehow really similar
I like how the only animal that genuinely attacked her out of all the dangerous/scary animals she interviewed, was the goose
You don't mess with geese.
It smelled her pillow feathers ??
peace was never an option.
I found myself too close to a goose nest at 10. I thought I was gonna die for real, fought that goose for my life!
Geese are shit.
Evil ass creatures should be eaten to extinction. Just like baboons.
I saw the same thing with two half brothers. They were born a day apart and brought up together. I bought the younger one and he never settled. If he saw a grey horse he would always call to it. Then four years later I bought his brother. As I led him from the trailer he saw his brother in the field and he got away from me and jumped the gate still wearing his travelling boots. They squealed with delight and nuzzled together. Don't let anyone tell you animals don't remember or that they don't feel love, because they do..
I realized that the secret to making a million is making better investment. I always tell myself you don't need that new car or that vacation just yet and that mindset helps me make more money investing. Animals are great Investment!!.
What I think everyone need is a Financial Adviser, who can help you get in and out of any investment at any time and you'd sure be in Profit..

@@abdelatifelouazzanithazmi-why would you do that? Would have been better if you gave them the mother and brother as well.
The dog sleeping on the hippo is too much. 😂

they probably best friends.
I've heard a story of a man in Africa who had such a bond with a local clan of Hyenas that they sometimes lead him back to their den to show off their cubs to him. To put it in perspective they don't even do that with *eachother.*

That cracked me up as well xD

@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day??
ESPECIALLY seeing his assumed family member hanging on the wall!! 😰🥺😭😭😭☠️
@@lowkeyloganRight? 🥺 That’s just messed up 💔
I appreciate that the goose was the only animal among all the dangerous and scary ones she interviewed that actually attacked her.
Because they didn't protect her. The rest of them or would have if she got close. The goose doesn't matter
Geese are the most bold animals out there. I live amongst thousands of them (Canadian Geese) and holy are they bold. They will go after my 80lb German Shepherd on leash!
One thing all these humans have in common is that they respect the animal.
Em..
Yeah no sorry not all humans have that
@@theflyingdice6071 he's talking about the people that got interview
Yep
Yea know I said not all humans so of course I knew that
The Hippo sleeping with the dog on her back quite literally made laugh out loud. Memories of my years as a wildlife rehabilitator came flooding back, with tears of joy.
That's awesome you could do that.
Hello Sherry how’s the weather over there I hope you are enjoying yourself.
It's SO special!!! I share your sentiments
I’m Kelly am from Arizona I have been divorce for about 2yrs now and I have one daughter she is 20yrs old her name is Linda Am a Captain and a sailor I own a vessel and a shipping agency located in Louisiana and I do shipments for companies and organizations, I’m also a privet contractor, I work on land and sea and I travel around the world for projects contracts..And tell me more about yourself.
Pll ppl lo I’m mom
I can't believe someone even thought of making friends with hyenas. That's next level
Hyenas are awesome and tough as hell. Anyone who thinks anything else is brainwashed by disneys Lion king
A random raccoon broke into my shop just over a year ago. I am positive she had a bad experience with a large cyote pack that night because I had heard the largest cyote celebration ever.
Molly as we named her, immediately fell in love with my girlfriend, my cat and mostly with me.
We all shared so much love that it felt like a lifetime. At 6 weeks Molly went to a refuge where she still lives with her new family. She is now a momma
Good luck with that
I take care of the raccoons that live in my neighborhood because We call ourselves human beings and all we have done is destroy every single natural habitat that these poor animals have ever known and then we have the audacity to call them pests and put out poison to kill them? I will ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY NOT anywhere near me Will this ever happen to any animal and that includes my raccoons who just instinctively No that they can come to me as they do every Spring and the females come right on up to the porch to the Fighting glass door very early in the season call me usually the beginning of March. They are usually now the full grown babies that I raised the previous year. When I say raised I mean that their mom's bring them to me on their first forage out because They instinctively know when hulinks have ill intentions and they also know when they are completely safe. Being an empath I give off a certain aura or energy that other humans respond to and feel and this is my purpose here. Strangers I have never met before and will never see again comment will stop me or I will know, intuitively, by certain physical feelings that come on within my body that are generally the feelings of another person and I am especially attuned to grief, And when I feel that I will go out of my way to Identify where that energy is coming from and because of the nature of my personality and that is that I am a chameleon that Knows that I need to meet each and every person that I come in contact with for this purpose at their level. I have been $2000 a plate dinners in a $5000 rented dress with CEOs of companies that I Hired to start up and the next day I will be unshowered, Dressed in sweatpants a ponytail no make up and be helping A personOn methadone mile. I judge no one because I am far from perfect. I know when people's intentions are good and I also knowImmediately, Instinctively andSometimes in greater detail than I wish I were able to pick up. Animals are very much like this as well and they can immediately sense danger and ill intention and they also can tell when they can attempt to trust a human. My life is so much better and richer And beautiful because of the animals. I am what is known as a physical impact so I take on the emotions and the physical Paying they have in their bodies and a lot of that is actually emotional trauma that I am feeling but it takes the place inside me as the feeling of what a heart attack would feel like I would imagine, comma knots in my chest stomach and throat and this all has to do with what they carry that I am able to sense and feel. I was built the way that I am Because that's my purpose here this time around. But you can't go around absorbing others energy constantly constantly and not being able to differentiate you're old and not knowing how to cleanse your energy and your spirit especially When an interaction with a human is particularly emotional, it's mine always are call my witch will leave me emotionally exhausted but always it's worth. And then I come home To my indoor animals and They're unconditional love brings me peace and allows me To transmit that negative energy into something that Is at least neutral, if it can't be turn positive and release it. The wild animals that I care for have a neither stronger healing effect on me because I am so aware of how lucky I am to be able to communicate with them without words and the day definitely respond and that they communicate with me without words and they know that Understand them, I love them and I will help them, I will take care of them, I love them and I will protect them. In return, they heal me and they have Also warned me of dangers around my property that I was unaware of in the forms of other larger animals who might not have been as receptive to me as the smaller ones are, and they Will if necessary, do what they must if they feel I need to be protected. Generally I don't because even the wild ones that others don't get near, The coyotes, and such Are come with me. Now I want to go walk amongst the lions and the big cats in Africa and unless they are extremely hungry that day and haven't been fed for a while I am absolutely sure That I could walk amongst them unharmed as long as I respect their boundaries and only attempt to Communicate directly with them if they come to me. There's a reason you're signed a death waiver when you go on a trip like this and if this is how I die, at least it will be doing something I love and I just pray That if that be it for me that They go for the jugular, make it quick and have a good meal out of me! ❤
She's pretty scared, but she's not a coward. Excellent reporting skills. Gotta hand it to this lady, really made the show.
And she has respect for the animal also. Thats why she wont rush the animals to hug them as some people here in the comment section seem to think you can do.
She did an amazing job on this documentary she asked relevant smart questions and acted respectfully it was a good watch
She definitely did an amazing job
No kidding she's not a coward she walked up to a lion. Granted juvenile lions but still more than big enough to kill someone.
@SAP 23
Jesus christ what the fuck
This woman is a good documentarian. She was very good at focusing on the story and not pushing her own agenda. She is quite brave as well.
She is twice as good as you observe. Just so intelligent, articulate, and funny. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you.
The camera man is what's making this possible too. If it wasn't for him she would have to film herself.
Yeah you can tell she has a passion for it
True
yeh shes pretty good at understanding and asking the right questions very good actually
I personally think the greatest creature on this video by far, was the young lady who brought this entire experience to our homes. Thank you for bringing us this experience and opportunity to see these dangerous animals up close in a much different light than I could have ever experienced, as well as showing us your true beauty with your love for these animals. It was truly a wonderful experience getting to see this through your eyes and your experiences. Thank you!
She is only a part of a large team that produced this.
The Lion set up is a eco- tourism scam. You are NOT supposed to live/hangout with Lions 🦁 PERIOD. It’s not “if” someone gets killed, it’s WHEN. This is some Tiger King shit.🤬

That polar bear relationship is incredible!
I had a hummingbird visit me for about 3 years. Not sure why she picked me. She brought her babies to see me once and they all hovered in front of me for 10 seconds and she used to come in my house if I left the back door open. I never fed or tried to tame her but I did talk to her almost everyday. This video makes me miss my little homie.
How sweet, did you ever think about putting up feeders?
@@BOBINDUN yes I do put feeders out and grow flowers with nectar but never had another like me. Whenever I went outside Homie would show up. So sweet.
@@BOBINDUN oh I forgot to mention they are considered protected wildlife in CAL but feeders are permitted.
@@sdsurfgirl60 what a sweet little homie. Animals are so cool
I have birds that constantly budistas me aswell
I love how you have all these guys with massive and dangerous animals
And then one guy whose like, yeah this goose follows me around
hahahaha my thoughts exactly
Have you seen how vicious canadian geese can be? They fit right in
it's the bond i'm the most jeallous on tbh :)
Birds imprint very strongly. I have five geese and they and my ducks all follow us like that. Geese are awesome!
@@clashaccount8737 Indeed. I think the term „mobbing“ in German for „bullying“ (English) came from a psychologist who observed his geese singling out a week member of their flock and bullied it. Building a „mob“ against the goose. Therefore „mobbing“.
I used to volunteer at a wildlife sanctuary. I got to take care of the Bears. I would bring food into their compound and dump it into their trough. There were seven bears, and 3 of them became good friends with me. It was awesome getting real bear hugs. I really miss those days
Having a pet polar bear is like having a bull shark in your swimming pool.
more like a great white
The guy with the polar bear was so sweet. You can tell when he says he loves her, but his logical minds hedges his emotions when he says "It's just a really special bond. I love her a lot. I can't say she loves me. She really is bonded to me." But then his wife so confidently says "She loves him. She loves him. There's no doubt." You can see it in his eyes right there. The very thought that this beautiful animal could love him as much as he loves her means the world to this man, and that can only happen when you love someone else with all your heart.
🥺🥺🥺🥺
You are lovely
Crying brb
@@autumnconway3642 bro trolls have ruined my brain. I thought you said “you are lonely” ☠️

To the women who raised that hippo: You dont have a psycholgical problem. Its nothing wrong to love this hippo like it is your child. It is beautiful! The fact that this hippo still lives with other wild hippos, but always will return to its home and parents is amazing.
Aristotiles von Tight , I believe is the power of love in our soul that being honest and respect over time. It’s almost like putting this realistic world behind and just show love, u will be amaze what you can achieve
No more than the fact that it can suddenly turn and kill the human that raised it.
Tom Evans , you see that kind of thinking can’t be apply I think the animal ca feel it . Trust is a big role to play
Right the hippo is definitely the best relationship here.
@@SovereignStatesman well I guess that makes it even more amazing. Hippos are one of the or the most dangerous animals to humans. There will always be a threat interacting with a wild animal like that. You have to know what you are doing. I assume the women does as she lives right next to hippos. But even you have to admit that they share a special relationship. I saw ducks raised by a cat. Her natural hunter instincts never kicked in as she just gave birth to kittens right before discovering them. They saw each other as kin and I am sure the hippo feels the same about that lady. So I think the chance for the hippo to suddenly forget that and become for no reason aggresive towards her caregiver is very low here. But yeah, a threat is there. And objectively seen its more badass to hang around with hippos than with lions ;)
That Big Polar Bear is Amazing
The dolphin and human interation is AMAZING. It warms my heart ❤
Imagine breaking into a persons home and you hit your flashlight to look around and a Buffalo is just staring at you. Like wtf would you do?
You don't move at all , you become a statue
You turn off your flashlight and breakout
i would kill and dress it. tan the hide and make a coat. use some sinew to rebind my arrows. set up my teepee in the living room. take the family hostage. clean and repair my belongings...making sure to use all parts of the buffalo, expressing gratitude to the beast that gave its life for my survival. seek out and steal the owner’s valuables (again express gratitude to the family that is tied up in the basement). pack up and prepare to leave. get shot by the cops as i exit the house, because someone in the family had a second cellphone on them that i didnt find when i tied them up. determine that the initial shot is a flesh would and start to run.
run through the neighbors yard only to find that they reared lions. the lions smell my blood 🩸 and attack.
i lose a leg (the one that wasn’t shot) before being rescued.
i am arrested and after a difficult recovery that included a bout with COVID-19 i am charged with several crimes and i go to prison.

She's been up close and personal with lions, hippos and polar bears but she only gets attacked by a house. So cute and funny. Love her documentaries. 🌺
houses are truly the most dangerous predator
Trailer got me last week, I’ll never recover from the injuries.
It's the tents that are most aggressive. You don't think much of them because of how small they are compared to the larger predators like houses - but once they get their poles on you it's over.

I'm fascinated by these relationships. And Liz Bonnin did such a great job with these interviews. She brings a lot of comfort and realness out.
RC and the buffalo relationship- that’s amazing!
I love how being a friend with a goose is on the same level as befriending a hippo or a polar bear.
😎😂
You have no idea my friend, goose-friends are magical.
Geese are assholes who feed on the pure fear and sadness of other species, so yes, it is:
geese are way more dangerous than you think
Common scenario when you own a geese they usually attack every creatures they see in your way.
It's like having a war freak body guards.
I love the Buffalo section. You can tell how much the dude respects the bison when he said “Wild Thing knows I do everything for him, that I don’t do anything against him, and that everything is for him”
It's a bison
Edit: He edited after I said this and didn't even comment back lmao™ sneaky ass bastard
@SidKillz yes he knows that he said it was a bison because the original comment called it a buffalo
@@ayeone3870 He only said 'buffalo section' because that's what they mistakenly called the Bison a buffalo. He went on to say 'the bison'
yea in Holland (friesland) farmers bild a fence around there province, against the wolf, that hunts on sheeps, but i say just put a buffel by the sheeps, so the buffel is protecting the sheeps against the wolfs. they do that also in Brazil, but then against the Jaguar.
@ a donkey would be a safer choice.
These were all such sweet stories. I hope nothing but joy for all of them.
Liz' reaction to the buffalo was so funny and relatable 😂
The sheer size of balls required to be able to feed a hippo inside your own house BY HAND is something that's hard to fathom.
Try a fucking buffalo now THAT takes BALLSSSSSS

@@hunbi1875 LMAO good one😂
I would be scared the whole time
@@freya3192 hippos are more dangerous
That hyena that stuck its head in the cage was absolutely adorable. The expression was super sweet.
The stereotypical puppy dog eyes got me. For a minute it seemed no different than a domesticated dog coming over for affection. I know Hyenas are wild and obviously more powerful and dangerous than dogs but they're still seriously misunderstood and have the capacity to love and care just like dogs.

Yeah, those cute cuddly animals... that eat people alive.
Hey you know that guy has a chanell here on youtube.
It's called lion whisperer he mostly works with lions but he does also work with leoperdas and hyenas.
So yeah shotout to Kevin Richardson.
A loving and abuse free relationship combined with an animal appropriate feeding regime is absolutely top of the list in creating a genuine bond.
It would sure be nice if we all treated each other the way our animals appreciate us.
Stevie Anderson 7281 into that it would be a lot better than it would be a lot better world to live. In
She's excellent at how she presents herself with the animals and how she takes instruction from the people. Very respectful.
I was thinking the same thing. She is an excellent presenter with a wonderful approach to animals and humans, and has a great voice for broadcasting.
She has to take instructions to them if she wanna survive if you see it in that way lol
@@shah5824 Absolutely, but I can imagine some reporters would crack too many jokes all the time or act more scared than they already are for “entertainment” purposes. Sometimes it’s just a bit annoying, but she has a different approach and it’s really nice to see.

@@elizzy8754 I love her voice!
I already thought bears were neat as hell but you're telling me they purr too?
purr, wag tail, Love belly rubs theyre like a mox of cat and dogs yet scientifically in the Canine family
@@helliagaming6255 I can see how that might be confusing. Bears are in the family Ursidae. Their order is Carnivora, which includes wolves, dogs, cats, even pandas which are herbivores. Their suborder is Caniformia which is also called Canoidea (literally means "dog-like"). Members of this suborder typically have nonretractile claws and a long snout, giving them a somewhat "dog like" appearance. Other members of this suborder include racoons, skunks, badgers, weasels, otters, seals, sea lions, walruses, etc. While this diverse group of wildlife shares the same suborder as canines, they are not all in the Canidae Family. However, your comment shows that you have likely studied bears. That's awesome!
The classic categories of taxonomy are: Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species. In zoology, these categories have been expanded with further taxa. If we take the classic taxonomical terms and add in taxonomy used by zoologists we wind up with something like the following long, somewhat confusing system: Kingdom, Subkingdom, Infrakingdom, Phylum, Subphylum, Infraphylum, Superclass, Class, Infraclass, Order, Suborder, Infraorder, Superfamily, Family, Subfamily, Tribe, Subtribe, Genus, Subgenus, Species, Subspecies. To add confusion, there is no real barrier to zoologists adding new taxa into the system, as long as they are at or above the Family level and meet requirements for publication. So, in truth, zoologists can use a near infinite group of taxa to name a new species, I've just mentioned the most commonly used. In addition, botanists have their own system of classification as well. And some people in the scientific community wonder why science isn't believed to be more accessible. lol
A Polar Bear's taxonomy is as follows: Kingdom: Animalia, Subkingdom: Bilateria, Infrakingdom: Dueterostomia, Phylum: Chordata, Subphylum: Vertebrata, Infraphylum: Gnathostomata, Superclass: Tetrapoda, Class: Mammalia, Subclass: Theria, Infraclass: Eutheria Order: Carnivora, Suborder: Caniformia, Family: Ursidae, Genus & species: Ursus maritimus

I'm very close friends with a bobcat that I named Cici. I rescued her when she was a kitten and waited til she got older so that I could release her to the mountains. I took her to the vet, feed her food. Played with her. Also my Cat tiger played a role in raising her. Cici saw my cat as a mother figure since her mom abandoned her. Once Cici was old enough I released her in the mountains that is not far from where I live. She still visits me from time to time:) yes it's possible to be friends with a wildcat
Thanx for sharing your story!!you should of made a little film of your relationship!! Greetings from england👍🙂
I think my favourite relationships were the Hippo and the dolphins.
It epitomised a mature relationship where human’s didn’t become dependent upon the animals, or the animals on the human. Instead they were independent individuals in their’ own rights who lived lives both in the wild and with one another.
The sight of the hippopotamus and the dog sleeping is so lovely
I had to comeback and find this comment to like it, they are too cute😂😂
@@jadenhenderson3473 honestly , that was beautiful
Actually no it’s not, google it... hippos are extremely dangerous and aggressive, they will kill instantly, no matter how “well trained” they are unpredictable.... if that dog simply pisses it off somehow the dog would be killed in seconds...
@@TheBaBaTV that hippo came to their house they didn't capture it so they helped him stay alive , he's not captured he can come and go whenever he wants , they can't keep him out for they safety of their dog because he's dangerous
@@avae5343 usually that's the case but some of these human beings are just lovely people who respect animals such as the ones who saved the hippo 🦛
the hippo is probs the most insane bond. Hippos are usually extremely violent towards anything else and sometime their own kind.

That's definitely a Goose for u LoL
this made y day !!!! lol
What about the polar bear?
For those who do not know, that a goose can be very much like a guard dog! Many people who raise chickens will also put a baby goose in with the chickens, and that goose will defend those chickens with its life... A goose will fight off a fox any kind of bird of prey And will probably chase away any human being that comes near the chickens
Robert Maki - The Roman legions 2,000 years ago brought a flock of geese with them wherever they went to act as guards at night. If any person or animal approached their camp, the geese would raise a ruckus and warn the Romans. The Romans probably ate one once in a while.
Our neighbor had a guard goose who cornered a COP! The cop grew up on a farm and was laughing so hard (he knew the goose's human) he could barely stand up.
Sadly, the goose met his match when he took on a pick-up truck going 60 mph.
Robert Maki at the mcdrive there lives a group of goose, they are some smart birds one of them opend my car door for some fries and mcnuggets🤯
Yes good guard dogs. When I was in school my neighbor had 3 which would attack me while I tried to walk the sidewalk past their house.
Look at all those chickens
These animals are proof it’s nurture of nature. The environment creates the personality of any animal or human. If you can raise a polar bear like a dog, imagine the influence you have in a human from birth
47:23 I love how Liz goes off mid-statement "you just let me know at any point something like this this is just a little.....I CANNOT BELIEVE I'm this close to a Hyena" 😂😂
37:27 🤣🤣🤣🤣
40:11 gave me chills, beautiful moment and the smile on Liz's face shows how special it was to her.
Liz loves her non-human animals, can't say I blame her and that I'm not jealous.
Having a good relationship with a goose is honestly the most impressive.
honestly the story w most of these is just being their first and only sense of a mother/someone to imprint on. like it's pretty clear why predators/not friendly animals would be less likely to attack you if youve been their caregiver and acted as their mom since birth. i haven't even gotten to the goose part yet but I think a lot of people who have close relationships w geese or birds have jus raised them since they were young. when I got my first chicken it was a few weeks old and within two days of holding her and taking care of her she would scream the second I was out of sight

Hippos are scary, but Jess is utterly adorable.
Can't imagine how incredible these people's lives are. I mean, I recently met a fox 3 times in three nights at my workplace and I’ve been smiling about it for a week. 8)
You don't understand how big of a commitment that is. People view it as a passion without realizing how much time and money you sacrifice so that an animal could live a decent life... keep in mind 99% of the animals you see in these 'emotional' videos are incapable of surviving in the wild.

I don't know who is braver, the reporter who has probably never been so close to these majestic animals or the owners who live with them.

I work with a black bear regularly, go in the cage with him, play with him, and I would say the reporter is more brave. When a wild animal like that is around you a lot they trust you, so you have no choice but to respect and trust them. They get used to you. They’re much more unpredictable when there’s strangers around, thus much more dangerous. It’s really easy to forget that they’re a dangerous powerful animal and let your guard down. The reporter has never seen the wild animals here before, has no reason to trust them, the animal is more unpredictable because they’re nervous.
So I think the reporter is a little more brave in this situation.
L S I was thinking in the same lines as you. I’ve read some wild animals have turned on their owners and maimed them pretty bad or even killed them. Beautiful animals but I rather watch them in their habitat from far away. I am not a zoo person as it’s sad to see huge animals in a small space.
Totally agree. Seeing them captured just makes it so sad to watch them roam back and forth they seem stressed. Not sure if you ever watched the “60 minutes” special about the woman who had a chimp in Connecticut will shock you what a “trusted” pet can do to its owner. Its shocking what the chimp did to her but she lived, barely.
Or the camera man
I don't consider it brave to take unnecessary risks. Just stupid.
Liz is wonderful and I love these stories.
When i was homeless there was a coyote that every morning just would appear sitting next to me. Never seen him coming but would just all of a sudden he would sit by me and watch me, only stayed about 10 to15 min. Then would take off. I miss seeing him everyday
that’s beautiful!
I bet he or she misses you!
Omg. There’s a ‘BEWARE OF COYOTE’ SIGN ON A CAMPUS I DO MY 10km sprints in. I want thisss
If you have a coyote around keep your cat in the house it's just a good idea
The Coyote was checking in on you to make sure you were ok. Very beautiful and I am sure that the Coyote misses you. Animals can fall in love with people. It is a proven fact!
The reason why animals befriend humans is simple: they find another social creature and is fascinated with us as we are with them.
Actually its because humans make their lives easier... they feed them
Well, maybe. The thing is, it seems that most other animals are not quite as curious as human beings. We have this weird fascination with needing to know how something works, why it works, and how this behavior can be broken or circumvented. Not many other animals share this characteristic.
It really isnt that rare especially when they raise it from youth. Warthog has a close bond with wessels to get a full body spa free of tics and parasites, theres also a bird that leads another species to honeycombs and then the bird is left some of the honey. There are many more bonds of different species. It has alot to do with food.

@@stefanm.734 You haven't spent enough time patiently watching animals. I've seen some interesting things just sitting on my porch. Spiny lizards snuggling and putting arms around each other, a sparrow repeatedly breaking up a fight between two doves, a young woodpecker who lost it's tail and couldn't fly studying the behavior of the thrashers and successfully learning their food gathering method, and thus survived and grew it's tail feathers back and flew away. In Hawaii I was followed by a puffer fish for 15 minutes around a reef, for no other reason than curiosity that I could tell, in the desert I sat down near a desert tortoise and after it realized I wasn't a threat came up to me and put it's front legs on my leg and was looking intently at me. This is a small sample of the things I have witnessed by spending a lot of time in nature. I would say that humans are dull and lacking in curiosity compared to many animals.
I don't know why people think hyenas are ugly, I think they're beautiful and so unique in the animal world.
The presenter has bigger balls than me as I’d never put myself in the scenarios she does. Putting your faith in other people controlling an immensely powerful animal is just crazy in my opinion.
That lady with the lions, that's some trust right there.
Cays love milk. lol.

If you liked the lion and human bond, watch this too. I promise you won't be disappointed.
OneWithStache check out dean schiender he lives with a lion pack
Kept in captivity since birth? Not impressive.
OneWithStache those lions are adorable 😍
My late Dad once told me that animals detected our emotions, they know who have pure hearts or not. Watching this video is going to be my soul filler bc I love animals too. Let's keep spreading this light.
Your daddy was correct. They can
@@BibhuParida_Geology sure, big thanks, he did. He is the best Daddy 😇
I’ve worked with horses, and I can tell you that it is 100% correct. The horse I worked with most (named Gambler) could detect my emotional state from a dozen yards away as I approached down the path each day. When I was happy, she would perk up and be super playful. When I was angry about something, she would be very hesitant and cautious (I generally would avoid working on these kinds of days though). The craziest one though, is that when I was sad, she would always stay very close, nudging and keeping an eye on me. Essentially doing the horse equivalent of a friend giving you a hug and telling you everything will be okay. Absolutely wonderful animals.
@@hexerin OH MY GOD! Your story is so beautiful and precious. Big hugs for you and princess Gambler. This is the most sweetest thing I’ve ever heard today 😍
@@hexerin But is it because they can see your face and read it, your behavior, patterns? It can't be magic.
Crazy see how gentle that Hippo is considering her strength.
The butt shot of the polar bear, going into the pool was the cutest! Bunny tail
Ikr!!! Cutie😍😍😍
I noticed that too!!!☺
And funny also
I love animal stories!
You (and your camera team) are incredible people who bring positive information about animals to the world. YOUR INTERESTING, EDUCATIONAL VIDEOS MAKE LEARNING FUN -
Thank you for proving that a little kindness and "a lot of respect" towards wildlife goes a long way.
she is a great reporter, asks smart, respectfull, intersting, valuable questions
And exotic, which is fitting given the subject matter.
Agreed. Especially the questions she got are all on point! Thank you, Liz Bonnin, for doing great work!
yes, and the whole documentary is absolutely superb
She's also a natural beauty. It certainly doesn't hurt. :)
Jules Mpc and good looking 😉
Dad : What? No! we are not getting a polar bear! I don't want it in this house!
Family : finds polar bear and decides to keep it
Dad and the polar bear :
Dolphins are so remarkable, so much so in their symbiotic relationship with the fisherman. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. They appear to have the men well-trained, apart from anything. The singular aspect of animal behaviourists, which is lost on no one, is their dread fear of anthropomorphism.
Best program i have seen in a while. Eye opening , amazing and heartwarming to see the true love between these majestic animals and their human parents
If I acted unpredictable and bit someone's leg it's jail and a restraining order. A lion does it and gets snuggles from a beautiful woman. Well played, lion.
If someone gets attacked, then a passerby or said victim can call animal control and they will go kill it. Or if a gun is ready then it'll get shot dead.
@@shyryTsr2k its the same with humans Some people would gladly shoot someone who bit their girl
Well played lion, BIG LION
Mankind is the most unpredictable. We kill most of ourselves, often for no good reason. Sad but true.
It was a hickey.
You can just imagine the older dolphins teaching the youngsters. So, we've manged to train this group of humans to force the fish to swim towards us. We have of course known for a long time that humans are quite intelligent but it's surprising how easy they are to train.
😭😭😭😇
😂
I love this comment!😍🤣🤣🤣
hhahha
How the tables turned xD
I must say, the Irish lady is pretty damn brave.....when the wife said 'come on in' to the enclosure I'd have thought Yeh famous last words. Respect
In 2023, I'm surprised anyone would even ask this question. All species have feelings, emotions and the compassion to love.
“I’ve actually got a psychological problem...”
“Awww, you love her”
I think it’s because they’re selling astonishing animal/human relationships and not psychological problems
If you have a hippo coming into your house at dinner,...you got problems for sure.
Oh you got a defense dog?
How about my personal self-defense buffalo?!
Bearded Patriot I’m just imagining someone walking a buffalo in a security vest for some reason.
That was no self-defence buffalo, that was an assistance bison.
Imagine the polar bear or attack hippo!
Bearded Patriot hi
Self defense buffalo? More like house-trashing beast that will trample the intruder along with everything in your house, lmao
No matter how often I watch this, my jaw literally drops every time
Heartwarming. I was thinking of my parrot and our bond and friend ship. These animals love with all their hearts.
I helped fix a baby hawks broken wing and it has visited me every morning since to watch me as I have my coffee or tea on the balcony I leave seeds out and stuff like that in case it wants some it's now a beautiful full grown and we are absolutely best pals :3
Ahhh that's awesome!
I fixed a baby sea turtles shell after I ran it over in my truck . He always swims near my hut and on hot days I ride around the ocean on his back punching seagulls that get to close trying to steal his food . And we have sex in his tail hole

Hyenas to most people: EVIL
Hyenas to the one person who tamed them: very big puppy
they look so much like canids eh, they are actually much closer related to big cats in reality.
It just goes to show hyneas can be more grateful than a human at times...
I swear to fucking god every time I saw cheetahs on tv as a kid a god damn hyena shows up to steal the cheetah's meal and I was so upset the entire day
I always found them weirdly cute, like a misshapen dog
If that puppy has hospitalized you 5 times and constantly tries to make you submit to them.
This man truly embodies everything about service. Through serving all of these beautiful animals, he gains joy. "Man, is that he might have joy"! Thank you for all you do.
The hyenas are huge !! When usually seen against other animals they seem reasonably medium sized, but aginst Kevin they are obviously way bigger that I had appreciated
Man hyenas look so primordial. Like something that should've gone extinct millions of years ago but just didn't.
I agree lol the fact the females have fake male genitals is wild too
@@a.rae. they also give birth through them which means they push out their kids by ripping themselves literally apart.
@SonofEyeaboveall Effoff you know it
@@a.rae. You learn something new everyday...
they are so fascinating! i recently found out that hyenas are actually more related to felines than they are canines, which probably adds to their odd look and behavior.
This gentleman is privileged to be friends with a polar bear. What a beautiful friendship!
Yeah, in the not to distant future, it's likely to be the only one left.
I think it might be more than a friendship 😳
@@CheeseburgerStreaming bro 🤨
Try that with a wild polar bear! Ignorant one!
@@troyottosen8722
I can't because your mommy is sitting on my lap!!
Could u imagine breaking into someone’s home only to find a giant Hippo defending the property
narrator: "and potentially dangerous relationships..."
*seconds later* : shows harmless duck walking with his human buddy
@Sushant Kumar Yeah pretty much. Geese are all show. Have you seen what happens when a person doesn't fall for the intimidation tactics? Even old people are able to grab them and fling them with ease.
ღEmmySama ღ Is a goose
Maybe they're all show, geese..but I have been chased by one when I was a teen and they scare the heck outta me!
Shush, Geese are not only show, some geese species are big af birds and people do have Guard Geese, its a thing.
Geese aren't harmless! Have you ever been goosed?

There was a goose that spent a lot of time on the Salt River Canal in Mesa/Chandler on my way to school growing up. I was probably its friend, considering the reputation of geese. I named him Ginther after a Diablo 2 unique weapon, fittingly. He was not aggressive at all, and only prodded at parts on my bike(foraging). I was more surprised that he would stand around with me and come to me if I was in the area, not to be a bother at all but just to have a friend.
Awesome video!! Personally, I prefer animals over people... most of the time.
If a person gets bit by sn animal, 99.999% of the time, it's because of a mistake the human made.
Otherwise, a sick or injured animal is just protecting itself.
I LOVE the polar bear and the lions the most on this video. The dolphins were keel too. Ty 4 bringing this to us.💜💜
RC ascended into the ultimate cowboy
- Lives in Texas? Check
- Former rodeo star? Check
- House decked out in frontier aesthetic? Check
- Dem cowboys accent? Check
- Powerful, unruly buffalo that accepts him as the one in charge? Check
Man imagine a thief breaks in to your house and finds 3 lions in the living room.
Gotta say that's one cowboy legend for the modern day.
😯😯😯😯😯
Why is it like this????????????
"When you fall in love with a goose, you gotta be aware of what you're getting involved with."
bruh I have trouble falling in love with humans and man's is out here sticking with his goose even after finding out he's a guy
😂😂💯
lol!
It’s 2020. The goose is non-binary.
Yooo hahaha wouldn't that feel weird doing it because he knew the goose is a female ? Lmao
So the goose identifys as female and the man identifys as a male goose perfact match right
IT'S BEEN 3 YEARS, I NEED JESSICA'S BABY HIPPO UPDATE!
Incredible! Enjoyed this so much! Liz, you do an amazing job interviewing and commenting on your experiences with these creatures.
That guy with the hyenas... wow! He really seems to know what he's doing. They're all incredible stories, but that one is quite amazing. Not only does he have the respect of just one animal, but a whole pack 😮
Im not 100% sure but I think he is the lion whisperer. He has a family of multiple groups of lions some panthers and hyenas... idk if their are more. But he plays with all of them!
@@alexhutchins6161 yes that is the lion whisperer... he has a great youtube channel.
These lions are happy in captivity keep them happy I say. It's dangerous out th they re and other animals will be torn apart
@@nikkischoessow4847 .... we cant sustain their population in captivity!we need to let them out so they can take part in the eco system.
I think man's ignorance is the only thing that's prevented this from happening sooner it's not that remarkable we could have had these relationships all along I know I have with all kinds of wild animals and domestic ones you just have to bond with the animal understand this is what the Garden of Eden was
