Bald Eagle: (screeches while flying in front of American flag) Director: “Hold up, CUT! Stop the filming” Bald Eagle: “Is there a problem?” Director: “Look kid, you’re a good actor and all, and I think you’re definitely a powerful and majestic bird but the call really isn’t doing it for me. Can we get the hawk in here for a voiceover?” Cameraman: “He called in sick today, but we got the kookaburras voice acting for dolphins in the studio next door” Director: “….that could work…”
Fun fact about that longhorn beetle: they're not nearly as much of a threat as they used to be because woodpeckers actually LEARNEDD how to get them out of the wood. That's right, they taught themselves how to eat a new bug that burrowed its way into the bark different from our native bugs apparently, if it weren't for that amazing adaptation from our woodpeckers, they might have done so much worse
First the animal noises, then a buncha other random government and doctor mythsss (how long it takes to digest gum, area 51, things like that) what's nextttttt
As a rabid horse girl, I can confirm. Rhinos are better than zebras. And honestly can't believe they're more related to donkies, because the donkies I've met just wanna back that dump truck of an ass up on you, so you'll scratch him, and the other cries at the fence at you when he doesn't get his own pile of hay, and he seems to think you can't walk without him, or go anywhere without him. He scream cries like a baby
Domesticated donkeys are such underrated animals. I actually think they're a lot better than horses...smarter and friendlier. Stubborn, yes, but that comes with "smarter."
Fun (false)fact: Benjiman Franklin didnt want bald eagles to represent America because he saw the eagles as cowardly and belive that turkeys would be a better bird to represent the country arguring that thier recklessly aggressive behaviour would be a better to represent the strength of America.
Specifically, Franklin was referring to the bald eagle's tendency to steal fish from the osprey, rather than catching one itself. Theft of another animal's prey is called kleptoparasitism and is very common among fish eating birds.

@@heiseigojifan2713 When you realize sharks kill less people than cows. You know why? Most people are never around sharks or wolves and we all know they're dangerous. That's such a nothing fact
@@heiseigojifan2713 Because I'm pointing out how much of a nothing fact your statement is. The vast majority of people never even SEE a wolf in real life outside of a zoo. Dogs are literally everywhere humans are found. Not to mention, people don't go starting shit with wolves like they do dogs. Hippos will attack anything that isn't bigger than them and some things that are. Yet dogs still kill more people than hippos. Because again, one's far more common. Shit, you know what basically never attacks humans and is STILL statistically one of the deadliest animals in the world? Fucking deer.
Do you know why we call the Bald Eagle the “Bald Eagle”? It was actually shortened from Old English “Piebald” meaning - Crowned with white.” Also, that’s an awesome Sublime Album.
I mean, you look at Pliny the Elder's original description of a 'Unicorn': "It has the body of a horse, the head of a stag, the feet of an elephant, the tail of a boar, and a single black horn three feet long in the middle of its forehead. Its cry is a deep bellow.". Sounds a lot like a secondhand description of a Rhino.
Remember Leviathan and behemoth from the Bible? Yeah. They weren’t describing anything magical. Behemoth was the African bush elephant, and leviathan was just a really old Nile crocodile.

Oh yeah, every Brit lives in constant fear of seagulls. Did you know there’s one specific seagull in London that figured out how to hunt pigeons by jumping them, dragging them into water and drowning them, then picking the meat off the corpses and sharing it with his mate. These things are straight up flying Lecters
Yep. I remember a group of these flying psychopaths forming a V to dive at students at school, forcing the students to drop flat on the ground, usually dropping their food which the gulls at the end of the V would grab and the group would then land, distribute the goods, eat, then repeat. If you didn't drop to the ground flat on your stomach? The gulls were not afraid to use force to MAKE you give up the goods. And yes, I am talking about the birds and not the mob, mobsters have more mercy than these terrors. Read a book where an island and its inhabitants were enslaved by seagulls: all I could think was "It's just a matter of _when_ this becomes reality for the UK at this point".

Fun fact because the rhino-unicron thing reminded me of it: The vikings used to pay indigenous peoples for narwhal horns - then they sold the narwhal horns but marketed them as “unicorn horns.” Everybody believed them, too.
Unicorns WERE single horned rhinos. Even in the Bible when it talks about unicorns, it talks about their might and brute strength, not how equines are typically described. Some modern translations change unicorn to "young ox" but it doesnt make as much sense in context especially since unicorn literally means ONE horn.
@@esbirdnerd Because the Bible is one of the most well known books that has parts written thousands of years ago, so sometimes people will study older translations for info on historical stuff. It's how you get theories like the Nephilim being evidence of giants actually existing.
"Let's just appreciate that some guy went through years of school and student loans just to end up getting paid to put glasses on a discount octopus." WORTH IT! ;D
I live in the UK, and seagulls down the coast are no joke. You have to literally watch out and protect your food if they're near by because you may be going hungry and they not.
Definitely. I live in a seaside town, and I've been had many a cone of chips 'liberated' by a gull or 3. There's never only one. They are gluttons with no moral compass and they make it everyone's problem
Do you live near Whitby? Official council signs warning about the risk of getting mugged by gulls at one time. Not been since lockdowns, so may have changed. Or have the gulls removed them?

Man the more I learn the more I wonder how I would have turned out if I was not lied to as much as a child. Not all that different to be honest though.
When I was a kid I went to the beach and started feeding bread to the seagulls, until this big ass seagull attacked me. So I refuse to like seagulls to this day, they crap everywhere and attack children..
That "eagle screech" in movies used to throw me off when I was a kid because I grew up in a rural area near the coast in central California. Red-tail hawks were common there, so I knew what they sounded like. Whenever I heard that sound paired with an eagle, I was confused.
It is honestly criminal that in pop culture, leopards are often dubbed over with cougar screams (a.k.a. sounds that leopards are physically incapable of making), and meanwhile lions are dubbed over with either tiger roars, or ACTUAL leopard roars. Just watch The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe for an example. Literally ALL of Aslan's roars are leopard sounds-and meanwhile what do all the leopards and cheetahs sound like? Take a guess...
Honestly... The cougar scream creeps me out the most. Lion and tiger roars are definitely fear inducing, but the scream of a mountain lion just fills me with a creep factor that nothing else matches. Maybe it's because I live around them, idk...
@@scottcantdance804 They also chirp. Mom was inspecting mines, heard chirping and said, “What kind of bird is that?” The mine manager looked at her, horrified. “Ma’am… that’s a mountain lion. Not a bird.” But because Mom never tried looking for the source of the chirping, the lions never tried to intimidate her or chase her away.
Bro…found your channel by mistake but I’m sure as hell glad I did. Been binging for hours now. You got a subscriber for life here so keep the awesome videos coming!!
Your videos work better than my meds and are always an educational joy. Thank you for your brilliant light of knowledge of the animal kingdom that humanity has found so far.
I don't know about Tiger roars but as a kid I found Lion roars quite terrifying. I grew up at Obafemi Awolowo University and it had a functional zoo that had Lions. The zoo was a couple of miles away from the staff quarters where we lived and we frequently heard the Lions roaring. They didn't sound that far away. At a time there were rumours the Lions had escaped and during those times we children felt the roars were coming from a few feet away outside our room.
1:07 See, this is why James Earl Jones is a goddamn badass. His voice is so amazing that it comes with its own intensely modified sound effects. That's why Darth Vader sounds like a Scuba machine built by Lucifer. And now it's why Mufasa roared like a fugging F-16... Sometimes the truth is just better than fiction.
Animal Planet needs to give you your own show dude. Your commentary is so spot on for the younger generations! (I sound old as fuck but im 30) good stuff man please keep it up
The reason why that makes you happy is the fact that people perceived as serious as a scientist only can be - are still only a kid playing videogames in their mom's basement underneath. It makes them as human and as relatable as an UA-cam content creator
3:32 I'm born and raised in Devon, and yes I remember this story abiut the Chihuahua getting snatched here by Seagulls. They're a terrible problem here. One time at a wedding I saw a whole flock of them attack a whole family for seemingly no reason as they didn't appear to have food on them but they were attacking the children and the dogs the most. Also when I was walking with my brother down the highstreet in Exmouth I noticed the seasgulls sitting atop the shelf above the WHSmiths there and knew they were staring at us, my brother had a pizza slice in his hands he got from the Greggs there and suddenly from behind us a seagull came up and attemped to snatch it out of his hand. My brother being quite deft of foot dodged out the way and we laughed only to let out guard down when another swiftly came up and bit his hand causing him to drop it. Then they all piled in from out of nowhere. Even me kicking one didn't scare it off.
@@brigidtheirish you should lmao. Imagine explaining that at a family gathering..."So what are you up to these days Frank?" "Oh I just finished a movie where I growled into a garbage can for the sound effects." Relative just edges away....
When I was a kid and learned that birds evolved from dinosaurs, I couldn't believe it but the more I learn about them and how brutally they live despite being often small and cute, the kids believable it is
I grew up around eagles so I knew how they sounded. I love how they sound irl, it sounds majestic to me. But I can see why people would be disappointed
I live in Los Angeles and once found my cat in the closet with a dead seagull literally petting it with his tongue. I’ve no idea how he got it cause it looked pretty healthy for a dead animal.

The Longhorn Beatles were in Dallas, Texas, in 1961. We had them on three cottonwood trees. They come out during the 4th of July, so we put firecrackers on them or down the borehole. They are very hard to find in any insect books.
Seagulls only have two emotions, here they are: Give me all your food or your eyes are on the menu and unnecessary malicious spite Edit: there’s one more: murder and attack everything

Can confirm. I grew up by the Atlantic ocean and had the "pleasure" of dealing with seagulls on a near daily basis. Goddamn sea pigeons is what they were; aggressive, rude, stupid in all the worst ways, disease ridden. Ugh. Hated them.

I remember a group of these flying psychopaths forming a V to dive at students at school, forcing the students to drop flat on the ground, usually dropping their food which the gulls at the end of the V would grab and the group would then land, distribute the goods, eat, then repeat.
If you didn't drop to the ground flat on your stomach? The gulls were not afraid to use force to MAKE you give up the goods.
And yes, I am talking about the birds and not the mob, mobsters have more mercy than these terrors.
Read a book where an island and its inhabitants were enslaved by seagulls: all I could think was "It's just a matter of _when_ this becomes reality for the UK at this point".
Flipper was my childhood, and I wasn't surprised a bit, when I found this out. I was already pretty up on how they liked to lie, even at a young age.

Honestly, it's one of my favorite channels. This channel makes me feel better when I'm bored or sick or I can't find any brain stimulation. I watch it regularly when I want to go to sleep. Sometimes i leave it playing on its own ,video after video. This is not a dig or insult. It's a legitimately good channel for great entertainment and comedy that always keeps my interest when I need help making my day better!
Fun fact because the rhino-unicron thing reminded me of it: The vikings used to pay indigenous peoples for narwhal horns - then they sold the narwhal horns but marketed them as “unicorn horns.” Everybody believed them, too.
So Vikings were the first ever scam artists?
Indigenous to where? Everyone is indigenous to somewhere.
@@logicplague glad you asked! I forgot to clarify, mostly Greenland but also Nunavut.

Johm Lemon, why’d you name your band after that creepy ah bug (beetle)
Unicorns WERE single horned rhinos. Even in the Bible when it talks about unicorns, it talks about their might and brute strength, not how equines are typically described. Some modern translations change unicorn to "young ox" but it doesnt make as much sense in context especially since unicorn literally means ONE horn.
True, but why bring the bible into it?
@@esbirdnerd to show that back then, people were really describing rhinos instead of a generic horse with a horn?
@@jamesyun8444, but why he gotta bring rhinos into it?
@@esbirdnerd Because the Bible is one of the most well known books that has parts written thousands of years ago, so sometimes people will study older translations for info on historical stuff. It's how you get theories like the Nephilim being evidence of giants actually existing.
@@esbirdnerd because it's relevant to the topic, oh mighty cringe lord.

I live in the UK, and seagulls down the coast are no joke. You have to literally watch out and protect your food if they're near by because you may be going hungry and they not.
Definitely. I live in a seaside town, and I've been had many a cone of chips 'liberated' by a gull or 3. There's never only one. They are gluttons with no moral compass and they make it everyone's problem
Do you live near Whitby? Official council signs warning about the risk of getting mugged by gulls at one time. Not been since lockdowns, so may have changed. Or have the gulls removed them?

Seriously, though. Tigers make lots of sounds and one of them hits the 'evacuate your bowels and run' button on the human brain. From miles away. Also, they actually live in the jungle (sometimes) and they're burlier than lions by a lot. Not sure why they're not king.
Well, tigers should be the kings of the jungle. Jaguars if the jungles are in the Americas.
My sister was a rhino keeper and you are right! They are absolute darlings! And they have peach fuzz!
I would give just about ANYTHING to be able to hang out with a rhino. They are up there with my very very favorite animals--and I grew up on a farm and ran a rescue.
Tell your sister to send some love scritches from a random weirdo on the internet. 😆

Wait people thought the Hawk cry at the start of westerns was an eagle? I thought it was always intended to be a hawk because it shows how hot/aired the land the movie takes place in. Since Hawks are very common in "The old West".
Some showed hawk in the panning wide shot, but some uses bald eagle.

When I was a kid I went to the beach and started feeding bread to the seagulls, until this big ass seagull attacked me. So I refuse to like seagulls to this day, they crap everywhere and attack children..
Yeah I've heard that a lot of officials encourage people to don't feed the seagulls, because it makes them more aggressive
After 2 hilariously educating, entertaining, and creatively thought provoking videos, you sir have flawlessly earned a lifetime subscriber. 😂👍🏾
As soon as I heard about the lion king's actual roar, I realized my whole life is a lie...
That "eagle screech" in movies used to throw me off when I was a kid because I grew up in a rural area near the coast in central California. Red-tail hawks were common there, so I knew what they sounded like. Whenever I heard that sound paired with an eagle, I was confused.
It is honestly criminal that in pop culture, leopards are often dubbed over with cougar screams (a.k.a. sounds that leopards are physically incapable of making), and meanwhile lions are dubbed over with either tiger roars, or ACTUAL leopard roars.
Just watch The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe for an example. Literally ALL of Aslan's roars are leopard sounds-and meanwhile what do all the leopards and cheetahs sound like?
Take a guess...
“Meow!”
“Chirp!”
…my cat, too. She can’t meow, she freaking chirps
Honestly... The cougar scream creeps me out the most. Lion and tiger roars are definitely fear inducing, but the scream of a mountain lion just fills me with a creep factor that nothing else matches.
Maybe it's because I live around them, idk...
@@scottcantdance804 They also chirp.
Mom was inspecting mines, heard chirping and said, “What kind of bird is that?” The mine manager looked at her, horrified. “Ma’am… that’s a mountain lion. Not a bird.” But because Mom never tried looking for the source of the chirping, the lions never tried to intimidate her or chase her away.
cougar "roars" are menacing like the quick death
wut

Your videos are just that good. It’s rare that a person is entertaining and smart without trying too hard.
Your videos work better than my meds and are always an educational joy. Thank you for your brilliant light of knowledge of the animal kingdom that humanity has found so far.
I don't know about Tiger roars but as a kid I found Lion roars quite terrifying.
I grew up at Obafemi Awolowo University and it had a functional zoo that had Lions.
The zoo was a couple of miles away from the staff quarters where we lived and we frequently heard the Lions roaring. They didn't sound that far away.
At a time there were rumours the Lions had escaped and during those times we children felt the roars were coming from a few feet away outside our room.

1:07 See, this is why James Earl Jones is a goddamn badass. His voice is so amazing that it comes with its own intensely modified sound effects. That's why Darth Vader sounds like a Scuba machine built by Lucifer. And now it's why Mufasa roared like a fugging F-16...
Sometimes the truth is just better than fiction.

@@Goku-el3lk OP might, but I certainly do (in re-runs); I'm 55.
The reason why that makes you happy is the fact that people perceived as serious as a scientist only can be - are still only a kid playing videogames in their mom's basement underneath. It makes them as human and as relatable as an UA-cam content creator
3:32 I'm born and raised in Devon, and yes I remember this story abiut the Chihuahua getting snatched here by Seagulls. They're a terrible problem here. One time at a wedding I saw a whole flock of them attack a whole family for seemingly no reason as they didn't appear to have food on them but they were attacking the children and the dogs the most. Also when I was walking with my brother down the highstreet in Exmouth I noticed the seasgulls sitting atop the shelf above the WHSmiths there and knew they were staring at us, my brother had a pizza slice in his hands he got from the Greggs there and suddenly from behind us a seagull came up and attemped to snatch it out of his hand. My brother being quite deft of foot dodged out the way and we laughed only to let out guard down when another swiftly came up and bit his hand causing him to drop it. Then they all piled in from out of nowhere. Even me kicking one didn't scare it off.
*Two of my favourite animals; Tigers and Hawks, are getting credit for their awesomeness👌🏿😇*
Cringe
1:08 they also did alot of the roars by getting a man to do it. That man was Frank Welker. Voice of scooby doo, dr claw and megatron
Ya I remember finding out that some of The Lion King's roars were really just Frank Welker growling into a garbage can.
@@carmeltabby I have such a weird mental image right now.
@@brigidtheirish you should lmao. Imagine explaining that at a family gathering..."So what are you up to these days Frank?" "Oh I just finished a movie where I growled into a garbage can for the sound effects." Relative just edges away....

I believe he also voiced Shaggy and/or Fred at one point. Scooby Doo was a major part of my childhood.

It was.

As my grandpa once said "there is no human being that knows what seaguls do and still likes them"
Can confirm. I grew up by the Atlantic ocean and had the "pleasure" of dealing with seagulls on a near daily basis. Goddamn sea pigeons is what they were; aggressive, rude, stupid in all the worst ways, disease ridden. Ugh. Hated them.
And tourists would coo and aw and give them free food, and it would make my head explode. DON'T FEED THE WILDLIFE, YOU ASSHOLES. YOU DON'T HAVE TO LIVE WITH THEM.
