@@MrYfrank14 pretty different I think. Florida should be one of the easiest places to find on a map. Most people don’t spend time memorizing the locations of every country they’ll never go to though

Raccoons can be very vicious. They have thumbs and claws which means they can get into everything and tear it up. They are able to shred a dog with their bite and claws. Also they breed like crazy. Raccoons carry Leptospirosis. Imagine a 9 kilo ratt with claws and a huge mouth that can run 24 km/h.
I was a zoo professional for several decades and suffered many animal bites over the years from alligators, to cobras and lions. The WORST bite experience I ever had, and the only time I ever believed in demonic possession, was with a PRAIRIE DOG. Rodentia bites are the worst.
Having lived in southwest Florida, many a morning I would wake up with alligators in my backyard. What really bothered me were the Rat Snakes that would hide and ambush you when you walked by. Love the channel.
I lived in Boston most my life then moved to Florida for a few years....what a culture shock in the same country 😅 From city rats, squirrels, and racoons to random alligators walking down the street, small lizards randomly showing up in your house, and giant bugs that would show up after rain. It's like I always knew alligators were common in FL, but until you see one just walking down the street and no1 batting an eye it's pretty crazy.
Another good reason not to live in Florida. We don't get that shizz here in California. Sure we're not perfect but I don't want no snake or alligators near me ty very much.

Fun midweek video, Diane! I'm sure you'll encounter most of these animals when you set off on your great hike across the US given your lifelong love of hiking and the great outdoors.
That thing under the Paddlefish's jaw is the left pectoral fin. If you've ever seen a Garial you know what the jaw of a paddlefish looks like, but it has shorter teeth.
4:19 Prairie Dogs are cute little guys. They can be tamed but probably best not to. We don't worry if Salamanders are in the house Diane. Just deadly snake, spiders, and scorpions. Among other things. LOL!!
Diane, you may also want to check out ocelots. These cats can be found in Mexico and Central America. Though here in the US, they can be found in the wild in areas of South Texas and Arizona. Historically, they were once found in Louisiana and even Arkansas.
Mountain lions, cougars, pumas; all the same thing, are impressively powerful. They are the second fastest cat, right behind the cheetah. A 150 pound tom can jump from a crouch onto a deer's back 20 feet away. At a run they can jump 18 feet high and 40 feet forward.
Florida panthers aren't the same as other's, though. We have lots of cougars on the west coast, but it's a different species. Ours might be larger as well, I know they will attack people here, and are big enough to kill horses. We've had friends lose horses to cougars before. They say you can fight off a Florida panther bare handed, but there is no way that's happening with the cougars we have, which are up to 9 feet from nose to tail. One cougar can take out 2 or 3 hounds, scary as hell to come across when you are not expecting one.

One of the cutest mammals I saw when I was a scuba diver was the harbor seal. It has big, "puppy dog" eyes. Anyway, when I would go spearfishing in Monterey Bay, I used a pneumatic spear gun. It would go CLANK every time it went off. This is the dinner bell to all the surrounding creatures. I was close to shore when I shot a rockfish in front of me. The spear was on an 8 foot lead. I reached out to pull the lead in, and got "one, two, ONLY TWO!" as they used to say on tv wrestling. A "cute" harbor seal had already ripped the fish off the end of the spear. That seal was about 500 pounds and twice my size. I used a pole spear after that. 😬
I live in a small town in Arizona. We just had an incident where I had to notify the neighbors that there was a large female mountain lion on the prowl, that same morning someone else reported a large juvenile male mountain lion near the main roads... It seems like the kid and mom got away from each other and were looking everywhere for each other. We have some BIG mountain lions around here too. They eat well.
You'd love the International Wolf Center in Ely, Minnesota. They always have a few wolves in a large enclosure, which you can watch through huge windows. Of course, they also have their own UA-cam channel and live cam. It's also just down the road from the North American Bear Center, with a similar facility for black bears.
Those are some really cool animals I think cats always look cute but can be fierce. There are prairie dogs in the fields and and college around here, they do communicate and talk to each other. Thanks for the premiere, Diane very enjoyable day. Always good to see Chewbert enjoying the merch. He is very sophisticated and smart.
Prairie dogs are responsible for destroying cattle and horse ranches. They tunnel under the ground, causing animals to fall thru and breaking their legs.
That paddlefish does have its mouth open. It's a filter feeder, but not exclusively so. Unless you happen to live in a fast-running cold stream and are a worm or aquatic beetle, you have nothing to fear from the Red Salamander.
The prairie dog doing the disappointed parent face x and on an unrelated note, you wishing me good luck for my theory test today worked like a charm 😁 38/40!!!! Woo hoo x
There is a place in central Maui, Hawaii named Puu Nene. It sounds like something a child would say to insult another child. It means the home of the Nene.
In the US in Desert cities, we look around for scorpions and occasionally rattlesnakes. The common dangerous predators in PHX are Javalinas ( If you are miles out of town) Cougars or coyotes (if you are at the edge of town), rattlesnakes, scorpions, if you are a little more urban, or black widows or brown recluses. Black widows don't bother you if you don't bother them, but they are good at killing mosquitos and flies. Of course, the city fathers of Tempe have created a huge tropical incubation facility for mosquitos, so now we have West Nile Virus and Malaria.
Thank you sooooo so much for your gift today! It is 100% going toward Chewies immunotherapy. We really really really appreciate it as it is much needed and you are so kind 🥰
About the crocodile at #13: They're all over the place in the wetlands around the Kennedy Space Center. In a lot of places, the walkways are raised up several feet, and have downward sloping "wings" to keep them from getting on the walkways. And the only one I've seen that lives around here is the giant garter snake. Garter snakes are fun. Even though they're not venomous, they'll "strike" like they are if you annoy them I'm not sure that their teeth can even break the skin.
You’re right about seals. I scuba dive, I’ve only seen the seals off the California coast. When the dive boat anchors off an island with a beach full of seals, the seals go crazy. They start barking and rushing to the water the moment they hear the chain dropping the anchor. They love playing with divers. We were at 30 feet, or about 9 meters, near the bottom. This seal kept dive bombing me and swimming under me. A few minutes later I could feel someone staring, I look to my left and just arms length away swimming beside me starring at me. We never touch them though they sometimes make contact with us either accidentally and occasionally on purpose. You can see videos of divers and seals interacting. Some of the best are the harbor seals. They tend to want to hug divers. It’s hard to avoid physical contact with them when they can out maneuver us so well.
Hi Diane ! I used to live in South Florida. The gators there are known the be in the sewers. I heard babies in the sewer once. They were calling mom👀. I ran away. Hi Chewie, from Ditto🐾
The biggest threat for getting in my house is there is a few species of poisonous spiders around here. Friend of mine almost lost his toe in high school when it was bitten by a brown recluse. He kept his work boots in the garage and the spider was in there and bit his toe when he put on his boot. He only noticed an hour later when he went to take his boot off and he couldn't take it off because his foot had swelled up so much. They had to cut the boot off at the hospital but they told him that if he hadn't noticed for another 30 minutes that they would have had to amputate his toe and if he hadn't noticed for another hour they would have had to amputate his entire foot. I keep work gloves in my garage and, because of his experience, I always grab the fingers of the gloves and crush them before putting them on in case anything is in them.
I've had four brown recluse bites. I worked in a wood shop and they would hide in piles of lumber. They are so small and inconspicuous that they're hard to avoid. When they bite it creates the worst itching you have ever felt raised to a power of 10. Then it leaves a red spot about half an inch in diameter and as the affected tissue dies, a small crater is left which heals over leaving you with a nice scar.
Ugh. Just bought a house last fall, and have been keeping the gardening gloves in the garage....well, I guess I'll get another psir at Walmart in a few...😨
In the Pacific Northwest, we have hobo spiders (throughout a lot of the country, really) that get mistaken for brown recluses, but try telling people it's NOT a recluse...anyway, they come indoors in autumn to mate, which is terrifying, they are a large spider. They are fast, too! Run like the wind! And for some reason...they like me. I opened the fridge one time and heard a "thunk"...when I closed the door, one was right behind, on the wall, not even an inch from where my hand had been. Another time, I wasn't wearing my glasses/contacts, and saw a huge dark spot on a wall, and had to get close to see what it was, and discovered a very large hobo spider. Smacked it with a magazine, it fell to the floor with a THUNK, and ran off! Their bites can be dangerous, though I'd never been bitten until last year, and it happened TWICE. HUGE itchy bump surrounded by a larger (4 inches across?) red area. But it didn't necrotize, so that was good. One on my leg, one on my arm.
@@LindaC616 I keep my gardening gloves in my house now, but when they were kept in my garage, I would put them on the garage floor and stomp on them in case there were spiders inside just waiting to ambush my fingers. I've seen several black widows in my garage, plus some species that look like juvenile (albeit large juveniles) tarantulas. Hi from North Carolina.
Once when I was hiking in New York State, I saw something black moving under leaves. I was terrified. Turns out it was a salamander! I lost my balance and slid about 30 feet down a hill. It was not a proud moment.
They left out a few. California has the Kangaroo Rat. Which is actually a marsupial, and The Mojave Green and Mojave Red Rattlesnakes, The Dessert Sidewinder Rattlesnake, The Tulle Elk, the Golden Eagle, the Kit Fox and the Desert Tortoise.
Hi Diane good to see you! Those blue crawfish look really cool. I'm originally from Louisiana and we've got plenty of red crawfish (I know you don't like seafood, but they're delicious). There are also an abundance of alligators in Louisiana, one of whom I had a close call with as I've also had with three of our four poisonous snakes. Hope you and Chewie are doing well, love you and goodbye for now.
They're not poisonous, they're venomous. Easy way to remember: If it bites you and you die, it's venomous. If you bite it and you die, it's poisonous. If you bite it and it dies, you are a public danger, and should be put somewhere for everyone's safety.
I live in New York, everything eventually becomes a New Yorker. Up to even 10 years ago, racoons would get all skittish and either charge or run away if they saw a human. I live accross from a park; now they just walk past you down the street at night and give a little "how ya doin'?" eye contact as the stroll past. Everything gets used to everyone in New York.
I’m always surprised by people from other countries fascination with raccoons! I was at the Hong Kong zoo once and the most popular exhibit was the ‘coons!!! Here they look in my windows at night.
If you visit the US any time soon, you should be sure to visit the zoo. The most famous zoo here is probably the San Diego Zoo in California. It is known for it's conservation efforts. It will take more than one day to see the whole thing.
That zoo isn't the same after the homeless started moving in around it. More so the once living in the parking lot and the ones that hangout around the entrance begging for money.
The 'coon, AKA trash panda, is sometimes rabid. They breed prolifically, are relatively bright, and are the Dickens to get rid of when you figure out that they are more trouble than they are worth.
Over my 62 years I've had a few different types of critters show up uninvited either under or inside my house from snakes to a white tail buck that crashed through a sliding glass door leaving a bloody mess as he trashed the house then left luckily no one was home
11:27 It depends on where in the US you live. Salamanders keep to the woods and they like to hide under rocks and near ponds. They like damp mossy places usually. The worst I've had to deal with (personally) are spiders, moths, and bees coming into the house. The cutest ones that wandered into the house were tiny little tree frogs, and we've had birds fly in and fly out. Honestly just keep screens on your windows, and keep your doors shut if you don't want little forest creatures wandering in. Never open a door for a mountain lion, as majestic as they are, they are still lions, lol. Raccoons are ever the opportunists, they will steal your dogs food if it's outside, steal the fish from your garden pond, steal your chickens, knock over your trash cans, maybe even fight your cat. The only thing raccoons really fear are big dogs brave enough to chase them up a tree. Deer will wander into your house too if you live in a place with a big deer population.
Marmots and prairie dogs are large rodents - just like the "Fluffy Tailed Rat" (better known as the gray squirrel). They are all perfectly adorable, disease bearing vermin. Some squirrels in the US actually carry Bubonic Plague. "But they sure are cute"! 🙂
The animal in that video of the girl pulled into the water was a sea lion, not a seal. Mostly, they're pretty cool water doggos, but sometimes they can be real bastards. I mean that "mostly" in a good way. The performing seals you see in circuses, etc. are actually Sea Lions. Another note: There are plenty of species of seal, like the Leopard Seal, that are not only total pricks but apex predators as well. A full grown Leopard Seal could make a deli plate out of a sailor with little or no effort.
@@DianeJennings another animal that may look scary but is surprisingly chill is alligators, the only time you need to really fear them is if your near a momma gators nest or if you're swimming or fishing. When their on land the the big ones are chill and just kinda lounge around slowly the only ones you gotta fear on land are the small gators cuz their speedy and mean.
you seem to get around the planet a bit. I'd love to see you spend some time in Australia - as fascinatingly diverse as US in many ways, and no shortage of amazing (and terrifying) animals.
Racoons are very smart; my mom growing up in Texas till she was 9yr remembers a liquor store shop owners pet Raccoon that knew the price of candy bars and would collect or tap it's paws for more; you don't present more it would hand you a smaller candy bar and maybe change back.
In Colorado we have tons or prairie dogs and my daughter and I call them "potatoes" because they look like brown potatoes running around the fields. We also have marmots (yellow-bellied marmots) that look exactly like those Alaska marmots. They chatter at each other and can get very friendly with people (unfortunately people will feed them people food and they expect it when they see people}.
Seeing animals (especially Chewie) always brightens my day. I actually had an opportunity to photograph two marmots fighting each other, while on a hike. It was both fierce and adorable.
@@chrisrehm2040 Someone being stationed here is how we got opossums. Homesick soldier at Fort Lewis--his parents sent him a breeding pair, which he let go when he left.
If you come to the US again you should visit Wisconsin, the most beautiful state in the union! We have great hiking trails and no animals that will kill you. Or at least not that many! I’m biased I know.
Thought I'd chime in. Here in Minnesota, we are laden with raccoons, various squirrel species, and chipmunks. All cute as can be. My wife hand feeds wild squirrels and chipmunks. She's an animal whisperer wannabe. By the way, did you know that those clever raccoons (and they are) are the species most likely to be afflicted with, or carry, rabies? They wreak havoc wherever they are; too clever for their own good. Also, if you try to pet a Pygmy rattlesnake, it will completely ruin a month of your life.........at best. Very toxic little worms. Tell Diane the Editor I said she looked exceptionally fetching in this episode.
being able to stroll about one's property and encounter moose and wild turkeys is a great delight (course the mountain lion are out and about too, but very unlikely to see them) - but oddly its the large dogs that run around the back country as though it's all their territory is a reason to keep a firearm handy
We had a lake house just north of Charleston SC . When I was 14 a guy from South Carolina Wildlife taught me how to catch snakes using a stick and my bare hands.
“Nothing bad that can just come in your house”… Well, there was that infestation of my ancestors, who spent 5 generations trying to out-breed the locals before moving to Canada to try the same thing here...
Diane: "Half chicken, half turtle?" Yeah, but it most likely tastes like chicken...just like they tell you about all the other animals you are hesitant to eat. Like rattlesnakes, rabbits, frog legs, alligator...everything except for White Castle's Chicken Rings.
The marmot is also known as groundhog and woodchuck. Same species but their name varies depending on the region of the US. But as my sister refer to them. Chubby little guy 🥰 they are cute but very skittish
There are mountain lions, coyotes, bears, rattlesnakes and scorpions in my state. I see coyotes in my neighborhood all the time and can hear them at night.
That Paddlefish in the picture does indeed have it's mouth wide open. They are filter feeders, like whales, and swim around sucking up huge mouthfuls of water to pick out anything edible that might be floating by. This picture doesn't show it well, but the snout is flat and looks like a paddle, hence the name.
Anyone else out there get a fright after coming across a nutria walking on it hind legs at dusk? After seeing that prairie dog & Alaskan marmot, it occurred to me that the US might have an unusual amount of semi-bipedal rodents.
To echo remarks about raccoons and how smart they are; I saw a gang of them scoping out some trash cans one night. Not sure 'cause it was dark, but I think I a saw one with a battery operated sawzall. You know, in case they ran into a little trouble getting in.
Your mention of spying raccoons reminded me of Operation Acoustic Kitty, where the CIA implanted a listening device in a cat, to try to listen to the Soviets. It wasn't very successful and they wasted about $20 million on the program. No, I don't live in daily fear of the animals here in the US. (But I would definitely be afraid in Australia.) Mostly all we get in our house is small-ish spiders. Twice we have had small lizards get in the house, but it's no big deal. I'm not sure what kind of lizard we have here, but it might be the Desert Spiny Lizard, or at least something that looks similar. One lizard I caught right away and took it outside. The other lizard was living in the house for a few weeks before I caught him and took him outside. But they're small, cute, and harmless, so I wasn't worried about it. My main concern was that it would crawl into someplace inaccessible and die, and then smell. But luckily, it didn't. There are probably so many animals from Hawaii on the list because Hawaii is so far from any other land. Animals in the continental US often have a range which extends into Canada or Mexico.
This is great! I would love it if you reacted to comedian Mitch Hedberg he died young but is one of the best, and chillest comedians we've ever had on Earth
I live in North Carolina in the SE USA and as far as I remember, (at least in the more metropolitan areas) the most common animals to look out for are mostly your typical pest bugs but we do have a LOT of spiders and snakes. If Im ever on the road tho, the thing to really look out for are just deers and pets ( ppl will typically let their dogs and/or cats loose, more so in the rural areas ). Occasionally you run into coyotes but they like to stay away from humans so you dont really see them that often. I think if you were to really look for wildlife, youd probably need to go into some forest or mountains here to see things like bears, wild cats like lynxs, foxes, possums. we got a lot of raptors flying around here now that I think about it also, Ive got a Red tail hawk that lives near my job that usually chase rodents in. you really just learned to live with it honestly, probably only half of the things here are'nt poisonous but the wild life can still mess you up pretty well regardless
Well, mostly the biggest thing we in the US can get in our houses is mice.... Although some friends had a trash-panda come in their dog-door in the middle of the night. It hopped up on their bed. Chaos followed.
10:35 My cats catch those little guys and bring them into the house to play. Several times a year I have to rescue one in a jar, give it some seed as a thank you for entertaining my cats, then turn him loose outside.

Unless you happen to live in a fast-running cold stream and are a worm or aquatic beetle, you have nothing to fear from the Red Salamander.
The prairie dog doing the disappointed parent face x and on an unrelated note, you wishing me good luck for my theory test today worked like a charm 😁 38/40!!!! Woo hoo x
Congratulations we’re so happy for u!
Congrats!
When you said Churttle I started laughing sooooo hard. 😂😂😂😂
There is a place in central Maui, Hawaii named Puu Nene. It sounds like something a child would say to insult another child. It means the home of the Nene.
In crossword puzzles the clue"Hawaiian goose" = nene
In the US in Desert cities, we look around for scorpions and occasionally rattlesnakes. The common dangerous predators in PHX are Javalinas ( If you are miles out of town) Cougars or coyotes (if you are at the edge of town), rattlesnakes, scorpions, if you are a little more urban, or black widows or brown recluses. Black widows don't bother you if you don't bother them, but they are good at killing mosquitos and flies. Of course, the city fathers of Tempe have created a huge tropical incubation facility for mosquitos, so now we have West Nile Virus and Malaria.
Lots of lovely animals in that video. I see a lot of wildlife here as I live at the edge of a forest, but I really love it.
Thank you sooooo so much for your gift today! It is 100% going toward Chewies immunotherapy. We really really really appreciate it as it is much needed and you are so kind 🥰
About the crocodile at #13: They're all over the place in the wetlands around the Kennedy Space Center. In a lot of places, the walkways are raised up several feet, and have downward sloping "wings" to keep them from getting on the walkways.
And the only one I've seen that lives around here is the giant garter snake. Garter snakes are fun. Even though they're not venomous, they'll "strike" like they are if you annoy them I'm not sure that their teeth can even break the skin.
You’re right about seals. I scuba dive, I’ve only seen the seals off the California coast. When the dive boat anchors off an island with a beach full of seals, the seals go crazy. They start barking and rushing to the water the moment they hear the chain dropping the anchor. They love playing with divers. We were at 30 feet, or about 9 meters, near the bottom. This seal kept dive bombing me and swimming under me. A few minutes later I could feel someone staring, I look to my left and just arms length away swimming beside me starring at me. We never touch them though they sometimes make contact with us either accidentally and occasionally on purpose. You can see videos of divers and seals interacting. Some of the best are the harbor seals. They tend to want to hug divers. It’s hard to avoid physical contact with them when they can out maneuver us so well.
We are hardly in the woods but we have chipmunks, squirrels, rabbits, snakes, and deer around us.
Hi Diane ! I used to live in South Florida. The gators there are known the be in the sewers. I heard babies in the sewer once. They were calling mom👀. I ran away. Hi Chewie, from Ditto🐾
The biggest threat for getting in my house is there is a few species of poisonous spiders around here. Friend of mine almost lost his toe in high school when it was bitten by a brown recluse. He kept his work boots in the garage and the spider was in there and bit his toe when he put on his boot. He only noticed an hour later when he went to take his boot off and he couldn't take it off because his foot had swelled up so much. They had to cut the boot off at the hospital but they told him that if he hadn't noticed for another 30 minutes that they would have had to amputate his toe and if he hadn't noticed for another hour they would have had to amputate his entire foot. I keep work gloves in my garage and, because of his experience, I always grab the fingers of the gloves and crush them before putting them on in case anything is in them.
I've had four brown recluse bites. I worked in a wood shop and they would hide in piles of lumber. They are so small and inconspicuous that they're hard to avoid. When they bite it creates the worst itching you have ever felt raised to a power of 10. Then it leaves a red spot about half an inch in diameter and as the affected tissue dies, a small crater is left which heals over leaving you with a nice scar.
Ugh. Just bought a house last fall, and have been keeping the gardening gloves in the garage....well, I guess I'll get another psir at Walmart in a few...😨
Omg 😳
In the Pacific Northwest, we have hobo spiders (throughout a lot of the country, really) that get mistaken for brown recluses, but try telling people it's NOT a recluse...anyway, they come indoors in autumn to mate, which is terrifying, they are a large spider. They are fast, too! Run like the wind! And for some reason...they like me. I opened the fridge one time and heard a "thunk"...when I closed the door, one was right behind, on the wall, not even an inch from where my hand had been. Another time, I wasn't wearing my glasses/contacts, and saw a huge dark spot on a wall, and had to get close to see what it was, and discovered a very large hobo spider. Smacked it with a magazine, it fell to the floor with a THUNK, and ran off! Their bites can be dangerous, though I'd never been bitten until last year, and it happened TWICE. HUGE itchy bump surrounded by a larger (4 inches across?) red area. But it didn't necrotize, so that was good. One on my leg, one on my arm.
@@LindaC616 I keep my gardening gloves in my house now, but when they were kept in my garage, I would put them on the garage floor and stomp on them in case there were spiders inside just waiting to ambush my fingers. I've seen several black widows in my garage, plus some species that look like juvenile (albeit large juveniles) tarantulas. Hi from North Carolina.
Once when I was hiking in New York State, I saw something black moving under leaves. I was terrified. Turns out it was a salamander! I lost my balance and slid about 30 feet down a hill. It was not a proud moment.
They left out a few. California has the Kangaroo Rat. Which is actually a marsupial, and The Mojave Green and Mojave Red Rattlesnakes, The Dessert Sidewinder Rattlesnake, The Tulle Elk, the Golden Eagle, the Kit Fox and the Desert Tortoise.
Hi Diane good to see you! Those blue crawfish look really cool. I'm originally from Louisiana and we've got plenty of red crawfish (I know you don't like seafood, but they're delicious). There are also an abundance of alligators in Louisiana, one of whom I had a close call with as I've also had with three of our four poisonous snakes. Hope you and Chewie are doing well, love you and goodbye for now.
Thanks he’s itchy but good 😌
They're not poisonous, they're venomous. Easy way to remember: If it bites you and you die, it's venomous. If you bite it and you die, it's poisonous. If you bite it and it dies, you are a public danger, and should be put somewhere for everyone's safety.
I owned a Cougar. A 1968 Mercury Cougar XR7. 390 cubic inch V8, automatic transmission and air conditioning. I miss her so much.
😂
I live in New York, everything eventually becomes a New Yorker. Up to even 10 years ago, racoons would get all skittish and either charge or run away if they saw a human. I live accross from a park; now they just walk past you down the street at night and give a little "how ya doin'?" eye contact as the stroll past. Everything gets used to everyone in New York.
Very cute Animals. 🙈🙈🙉🙉🙊🙊🐵🐵🐺🐺🐱🐱🦁🦁🐯🐯🦒🦒🦊🦊🦝🦝🐮🐮🐷🐷🐗🐗🐭🐭🐹🐹🐰🐰
Did she sing the mean girls musical when the alligator was being talking about? "The apex predator" is so, very good.
I’m always surprised by people from other countries fascination with raccoons! I was at the Hong Kong zoo once and the most popular exhibit was the ‘coons!!! Here they look in my windows at night.
If you visit the US any time soon, you should be sure to visit the zoo. The most famous zoo here is probably the San Diego Zoo in California. It is known for it's conservation efforts. It will take more than one day to see the whole thing.
That zoo isn't the same after the homeless started moving in around it. More so the once living in the parking lot and the ones that hangout around the entrance begging for money.
That is so sad. I had no idea.
So very cute Animals.
The 'coon, AKA trash panda, is sometimes rabid. They breed prolifically, are relatively bright, and are the Dickens to get rid of when you figure out that they are more trouble than they are worth.
I live in the Mississippi River Basin (Memphis) and this is my first time learning about the paddefish.
Diane, you are adorable. You're reactions to the cute and fuzzy critters were the best!
she's so adorable yes.
Raccoons are awesome. I knew a guy who used to walk around town with his pet raccoon sitting on his shoulder.
Seals are the dogs of the sea. I saw a seal pup on the beach once in California; it looked like a little armless puppy.
Glad you’re back princess, Buzzfeed can’t stop you. Word of advice, avoid anything buzzfeed. Avoid it like Chernobyl
Over my 62 years I've had a few different types of critters show up uninvited either under or inside my house from snakes to a white tail buck that crashed through a sliding glass door leaving a bloody mess as he trashed the house then left luckily no one was home
Very cool and very cute Animals.
I live in the NW corner of Oregon, and I was late to work once because a cougar was resting on my front porch.
11:27 It depends on where in the US you live. Salamanders keep to the woods and they like to hide under rocks and near ponds. They like damp mossy places usually. The worst I've had to deal with (personally) are spiders, moths, and bees coming into the house. The cutest ones that wandered into the house were tiny little tree frogs, and we've had birds fly in and fly out. Honestly just keep screens on your windows, and keep your doors shut if you don't want little forest creatures wandering in. Never open a door for a mountain lion, as majestic as they are, they are still lions, lol.
Raccoons are ever the opportunists, they will steal your dogs food if it's outside, steal the fish from your garden pond, steal your chickens, knock over your trash cans, maybe even fight your cat. The only thing raccoons really fear are big dogs brave enough to chase them up a tree. Deer will wander into your house too if you live in a place with a big deer population.
Missouri here. And there are very few truly terrifying things in America that are not human.
😂 That is true globally
Diane, that Gunnison Grouse courtship dance looks an awful lot like the Brazilian Bum Bum dance, or at least your version of it.
🤪
Marmots and prairie dogs are large rodents - just like the "Fluffy Tailed Rat" (better known as the gray squirrel).
They are all perfectly adorable, disease bearing vermin. Some squirrels in the US actually carry Bubonic Plague.
"But they sure are cute"! 🙂
The animal in that video of the girl pulled into the water was a sea lion, not a seal. Mostly, they're pretty cool water doggos, but sometimes they can be real bastards. I mean that "mostly" in a good way. The performing seals you see in circuses, etc. are actually Sea Lions.
Another note: There are plenty of species of seal, like the Leopard Seal, that are not only total pricks but apex predators as well. A full grown Leopard Seal could make a deli plate out of a sailor with little or no effort.
Good to know
@@DianeJennings another animal that may look scary but is surprisingly chill is alligators, the only time you need to really fear them is if your near a momma gators nest or if you're swimming or fishing. When their on land the the big ones are chill and just kinda lounge around slowly the only ones you gotta fear on land are the small gators cuz their speedy and mean.
you seem to get around the planet a bit. I'd love to see you spend some time in Australia - as fascinatingly diverse as US in many ways, and no shortage of amazing (and terrifying) animals.
Yeah right? It comes across as everything in Australia wants to kill you, doesn't it? Even drunk Australians in bars :)... Or not, made that one up.
They omitted Alligator Gar, Snapping Turtle and Alligator Snapping Turtle.
Happy Weird Wednesday ! I really love this video.
I’m from South Carolina live on a pond in my backyard full of alligators. I love them they’re my favorite animal
Racoons are very smart; my mom growing up in Texas till she was 9yr remembers a liquor store shop owners pet Raccoon that knew the price of candy bars and would collect or tap it's paws for more; you don't present more it would hand you a smaller candy bar and maybe change back.
Red Salamanders (or any salamanders) don't invade homes, but you can find them in the woods in New England. They're cute and harmless.
In Colorado we have tons or prairie dogs and my daughter and I call them "potatoes" because they look like brown potatoes running around the fields. We also have marmots (yellow-bellied marmots) that look exactly like those Alaska marmots. They chatter at each other and can get very friendly with people (unfortunately people will feed them people food and they expect it when they see people}.
I think Australia probably has us beat with the scary, venomous, deadly creatures 😲and they can keep them all!
Judging from the video, Hawaii is the Australia of the US
@@cnett486 Florida is
Seeing animals (especially Chewie) always brightens my day. I actually had an opportunity to photograph two marmots fighting each other, while on a hike. It was both fierce and adorable.
I had one jump out of some large rocks along a busy roadway in Spokane, WA as I was walking by. I about came out of my skin!
@@AhNee I was hiking up on Mt. Rainier when I photographed the feuding pair.
@@chrisrehm2040 I haven't been up there in ages! Though otherwise regularly trek in the Cascades and the Blues.
@@AhNee I miss being stationed in the PNW.
@@chrisrehm2040 Someone being stationed here is how we got opossums. Homesick soldier at Fort Lewis--his parents sent him a breeding pair, which he let go when he left.
As always, you and your adorable editor are the highlight of my day...
Diane: nobody would miss you if you were gone
Apache Trout: 😔
Thank you so much for reacting to it Diane! 🙆♀️
🥰
If you come to the US again you should visit Wisconsin, the most beautiful state in the union! We have great hiking trails and no animals that will kill you. Or at least not that many! I’m biased I know.
Thought I'd chime in. Here in Minnesota, we are laden with raccoons, various squirrel species, and chipmunks. All cute as can be. My wife hand feeds wild squirrels and chipmunks. She's an animal whisperer wannabe. By the way, did you know that those clever raccoons (and they are) are the species most likely to be afflicted with, or carry, rabies? They wreak havoc wherever they are; too clever for their own good. Also, if you try to pet a Pygmy rattlesnake, it will completely ruin a month of your life.........at best. Very toxic little worms. Tell Diane the Editor I said she looked exceptionally fetching in this episode.
Hm. So she obviously didn't do much research. We have raccoons in Canada.
being able to stroll about one's property and encounter moose and wild turkeys is a great delight (course the mountain lion are out and about too, but very unlikely to see them) - but oddly its the large dogs that run around the back country as though it's all their territory is a reason to keep a firearm handy
We had a lake house just north of Charleston SC .
When I was 14 a guy from South Carolina Wildlife taught me how to catch snakes using a stick and my bare hands.
“Nothing bad that can just come in your house”… Well, there was that infestation of my ancestors, who spent 5 generations trying to out-breed the locals before moving to Canada to try the same thing here...
Diane: "Half chicken, half turtle?"
Yeah, but it most likely tastes like chicken...just like they tell you about all the other animals you are hesitant to eat. Like rattlesnakes, rabbits, frog legs, alligator...everything except for White Castle's Chicken Rings.
No, Randall from Monsters, Inc. wasn't a red salamander. He was a type of monster gecko, considering he had scales and could change colors.
The marmot is also known as groundhog and woodchuck. Same species but their name varies depending on the region of the US. But as my sister refer to them. Chubby little guy 🥰 they are cute but very skittish
There are many Americans that would miss the trout because they taste delicious!!! And Americans LOVE fishing! 🎣 ♥️
What I worry about getting in my house are wolf spiders. I could be overrun by salamanders and would be delighted.
There are mountain lions, coyotes, bears, rattlesnakes and scorpions in my state. I see coyotes in my neighborhood all the time and can hear them at night.
That Paddlefish in the picture does indeed have it's mouth wide open. They are filter feeders, like whales, and swim around sucking up huge mouthfuls of water to pick out anything edible that might be floating by.
This picture doesn't show it well, but the snout is flat and looks like a paddle, hence the name.
When I was 10 my parents would let me catch and pick up rattle snakes 😂 she wasn’t a fan, but I was obsessed lol
The only animals i seen up close on this list are number 13 the alligator and number 1 the chipmunk and the Chewie in the middle lol
Yay Chewie and hi frand!
As a kid I used to gather and sell the red salamander to other locals as insect control for basements and farms.
Anyone else out there get a fright after coming across a nutria walking on it hind legs at dusk? After seeing that prairie dog & Alaskan marmot, it occurred to me that the US might have an unusual amount of semi-bipedal rodents.
I think…
I think that one might be just you Matthew
@@DianeJennings 🤣
You really won't see nutria outside certain places, even now.
As a dog lover, I agree about the red wolves. They may not be exactly dogs, but they're canines, and that's close enough for me.
To echo remarks about raccoons and how smart they are; I saw a gang of them scoping out some trash cans one night. Not sure 'cause it was dark, but I think I a saw one with a battery operated sawzall. You know, in case they ran into a little trouble getting in.
I like Editor Diane's natural look, coupled with the sky-blue nail polish. It nicely offsets her doomsday personality.
Your mention of spying raccoons reminded me of Operation Acoustic Kitty, where the CIA implanted a listening device in a cat, to try to listen to the Soviets. It wasn't very successful and they wasted about $20 million on the program.
No, I don't live in daily fear of the animals here in the US. (But I would definitely be afraid in Australia.) Mostly all we get in our house is small-ish spiders. Twice we have had small lizards get in the house, but it's no big deal. I'm not sure what kind of lizard we have here, but it might be the Desert Spiny Lizard, or at least something that looks similar. One lizard I caught right away and took it outside. The other lizard was living in the house for a few weeks before I caught him and took him outside. But they're small, cute, and harmless, so I wasn't worried about it. My main concern was that it would crawl into someplace inaccessible and die, and then smell. But luckily, it didn't.
There are probably so many animals from Hawaii on the list because Hawaii is so far from any other land. Animals in the continental US often have a range which extends into Canada or Mexico.
'Why cant I love on it!?'
Well cause as a cat it would rather not, and as a Mountain Lion, you should rather not lol.
This is great! I would love it if you reacted to comedian Mitch Hedberg he died young but is one of the best, and chillest comedians we've ever had on Earth
Thanks!
Love your pillow!💚
Regular chipmunks (short tails) are in other places. Just not here on the island. I miss them.
Unless you have a flowing stream running through the middle of your house... I wouldn't worry too much about seeing a salamander inside it. ;-)
Bummer he didn't mention the Black-footed Ferret!!! They are a critically endangered species...they really look cool imo.
And your reaction to the critters in America, is how Americans view Australia'6 creepy crawlies 😆.
I live in North Carolina in the SE USA and as far as I remember, (at least in the more metropolitan areas) the most common animals to look out for are mostly your typical pest bugs but we do have a LOT of spiders and snakes. If Im ever on the road tho, the thing to really look out for are just deers and pets ( ppl will typically let their dogs and/or cats loose, more so in the rural areas ). Occasionally you run into coyotes but they like to stay away from humans so you dont really see them that often. I think if you were to really look for wildlife, youd probably need to go into some forest or mountains here to see things like bears, wild cats like lynxs, foxes, possums. we got a lot of raptors flying around here now that I think about it also, Ive got a Red tail hawk that lives near my job that usually chase rodents in. you really just learned to live with it honestly, probably only half of the things here are'nt poisonous but the wild life can still mess you up pretty well regardless
Holy, I'm gonna have to clockwork orange my eye lids open next time. I blinked a few times and missed most of the show. 😅 Thanks for the live Di. 🍁
Ya welcome 🤗
Well, mostly the biggest thing we in the US can get in our houses is mice....
Although some friends had a trash-panda come in their dog-door in the middle of the night. It hopped up on their bed. Chaos followed.
Your little noises crack me up.
10:35 My cats catch those little guys and bring them into the house to play. Several times a year I have to rescue one in a jar, give it some seed as a thank you for entertaining my cats, then turn him loose outside.
