Why aren't humans on this list
Some animal took their place, and won't give it back.
Scientific Humanist have you considered that you are a terrible person for saying this
Scientific Humanist death to the WEST!

It's hard to explain food puns to kleptoparasites because they take food literally.
Master Therion *the smile is fake the pain is real*
Ooooof
lol
That was way too good
I think that pun stole my dignity.
Speaking of stealing I remember witnessing an interesting relationship with carpenter bees and bell flowers where the bees that are rather a bit too large to fit into the narrow openings of the flowers to get the nectar and thereby help to pollinate the flowers actually bit at the base of the flower to get directly to the nectar and bypass the pollination completely. You can even see the little scars where they have repeatedly done it before.
2:42 That's the most shifty looking bird I've ever seen.
Oh the black african bird looks shifty to you? I can't believe it.
Dats Ray-Cisss!!!
You obviously have not seen my bird !

I love how chill Michael always is, he has the calmest voice =)
*_wait, that’s illegal_*
kremit the frog are you the same Kermit the Frog that was behind the Ephemeral Rift cursing video campaign?
Good luck explaing those animals your constitution!

"It seems pretty brutal...cause it is"
My cat learned how to open the fridge, does that count?
Alex Haywood what a little bastard
Alex Haywood I mean, if its your cat, then the house belongs to your cat. It is just taking what is theirs!
My cat paws open his food cabinet and spills his dry food all over the floor. Then, he eats till he's sick. He also refuses to drink water unless it's out of a glass and he thinks it belongs to someone else.
Yes your cat evolved. Soon your cat will became u.s president
I like how he clarified that the bird doesn't know he's a liar.
*Stealing food* - Level 1 crook
*Stealing random stuff and holding it hostage until the humans give you food* - Level 100 macaque

*Raccoon.* Sad but true story: Once, camping in the woods, I let my family go explore while I unpacked lunch from our car. I start setting food out on our fold-out table, when I spot a raccoon watching me from like 10 meters in front of me on the other side of the table -- not moving, just watching. I know they're sneaky, so I watch him back, _like a hawk._ I watch him as I slowly step back, grab the next food item, and set it on the table -- watching him the whole time. Then I hear a rustle right _behind_ me...
Yeah, I'd say it's literally the oldest trick in the book, except that it predates books, and probably even predates people. One critter holds your attention in front, while the other sneaks up from behind. Well, an oldie but goody trick, 'cuz it worked just fine on me.
I quick turn around to see my family's huge loaf of french bread racing up the hill on the other side of my car, with a raccoon's tail sticking out from under it. Outraged at being _so_ quickly and easily fooled, I race after it like a mad man. I'm gaining ground (raccoon's have short legs), but as I get close, I have to stoop to reach down, and can't quite close the gap. Luckily, I realize in time that I have no idea what I might do if I _catch_ the raccoon -- wrestle with a wild woodland critter full of teeth and claws? I come to a stop, just as the first raccoon running a wide path around me catches up, and they both plunge into this big bush, along with my bread. I hear lots of raccoon chattering; apparently there's a big raccoon den in there, overjoyed at the giant french bread feast that probably outweighs all of them combined.
I'm annoyed, defeated and depressed, but get even more so when I walk back to our table, with all the food planned for our lunch: peanut butter, jam, canned tuna, cold cuts, mayonnaise, mustard ... and no bread ... for the next three days.
Bear Mro Yes a raccoon will do quite a bit of damage if you try to get physical with one, but they're not as bad as badgers or wolverines. I suppose if you have a big stick, you could beat up a raccoon with one that's stealing food.
Take care and God loves you.
Thank you. Yeah, I just had my bare hands. Besides, even if I won the fight, I'd then go to the ranger station to get the bites and scratches patched up, and have to explain, "well, I attacked this raccoon because he took some food I left out..." I'd get fined and kicked out of the campground forever. Grabbing a raccoon is lose-lose, at best. I'm not a skilled fighter; It's possible I could've gotten _seriously_ injured. Worse case, it's possible wild animals carry rabies. (!).
And, after all, the little buggers are still kinda cute. I can't stay angry just because I'd been outclassed by a superior species. I respect them. I hope they take better care of the planet than we did after we're gone.
Bear Mro Well in my case, they couldn't exactly permanently kick me out if I beat up a raccoon with a broom or something because they are around the houses next door, and I live here, but they haven't given me reason to harm them.
Take care and God loves you.
As you mentioned the remaining food I lol'd hard.
Waiting for the sad part of this story.
Give me a minute to understand this. Ha!!
Actually made me laugh, thx
Bear Mro lol, I love this!
Well done! 😂
Bad bugs, bad bugs, whacha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do when- Hey, who took the rest of my lyrics!
You missed out squirrels, they steal from each other (often by faking stashing), from birds and from humans.
Who ever would have thought that a snail...A SNAIL! (let that slowly sink in)...would be on the "Top Animal Thieves" list?
Tube worms. that's who.
Hank evolved to steal my heart
They didn't include my dog who barked at the door, making me go answer it, then ran to my table and are the food off of my plate.
I cant believe khajiits didnt make the list smh
Mai’q the liar does not steal
www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/44uz7n/khajiit_stole_nothingkhajiit_is_innocent_of_this/
Jake the Snake Um, that’s offensive and a stereotype
Agent Washingtub they always talk like they’re going to stab you. There’s only one khajit that doesn’t steal but he has dragon powers and doesn’t talk
That’s racist...er...specist
I was in Gibraltar last summer, and next to the door at the mountain top cafe is placed a stick. A stick used by the staff members to beat back the macaques that would sneak in and steal tourists' sandwiches. Got the pleasure to see this in action.
I worked in Gibraltar a few years back. They had monkeys that looked awfully similar to those in the video there. I heard they could steal stuff, but never saw it happen.
I did see this mom with its young having a small bag of chips that it probably got from someone or just stole it. I assume it was given to it because it had its baby in its lap and sat on a stone wall next to a path with a bunch of tourists around it.
The monkey pulled on the bag to open it and it worked. But it was the underside of the bag that broke and not the top. All the chips went on the baby and the mom picked it up and basically put its entire head in its mouth and pulled the chips of with its lips. It was hilarious!
I wish I had filmed it. But I was in a hurry somewhere work related. I was an assistant for this businessman and ran errands for him. But it's a fond memory and I smile every time I think of it.
Another funny memory was when these British girls compared me to a Cornetto when I was sunbathing... But that's another story. Hahaha.
If they have evolved to steal then they also have evolved to go to jail.
Good one😂😂😂
Lock them up!!! Lock them up!!!😅
Arrest that snail!
Throw them in prison!
Stealing is natural. Jailing is not.
"Surviving on this planet is tough"
What are you talking about? I've yet to fail doing so even once.
EVEN MADSEN you know what Heller would say: we all live forever or we die trying.
That's because you come from an unbroken line of Winners; every generation of your family for 3 billion years. Nary a one of them died a virgin.
Where's the plant kingdom shoutout?! Plants can steal too! They're not just helpless victims! I think about the dodder vine immediately.
There's this bird (in Dutch it's called Koekoek; cuckoo in english, maybe?) and they're knows for laying their huge eggs in other birds' nests, pushing out the actual eggs or crushing hatchlings. The baby Koekoek then manages to quickly grow in an almost parasitic manner as their appetite is much greater than the original hatchlings'.
What about dogs and cats? They evolved to steal our hearts...
@Scientific Humanist You're right! I'll edit my comment ^_^
I love cats too, but I'm allergic :(
I've seen you and your puns on so many videos. I've been kind of binging SciShow over the past week...
We bred them for that, actually.
@@melvinshine9841 Binging SciShow is time well spent.
Go make a pun for the shower&curtain video. I have one for you I saw a week ago.
bees say you forgot humans
# 0: Hustle Hank
# -1 people who steal my identity and pretend to be Muscle Hank
Muscle Hank Lololol
@Muscle Hank *We all know who the real thief is.*
You're the 2014 Muscle Hank, not the 2013 Muscle Hank.
I don't see myself on the list. I always steal stuff from the fridge
So it's *YOU!* Where's my double-dutch-chocolate ice cream!?
My sister worked at Disney World and Seaworld parking and watching strollers. So many squirrels are also thieves like the monkeys. They apparently can open Tupperware and unopened chip bags. Never leave your food unattended lol
Really, no magpies? There’s even an opera called The Thieving Magpie.
I don't think they are evolved thieves, it's just that the shiny things they 'find', often belong to humans.
Raccoons are my favorite little thieves
Yeah, they're pros. Even got masks.
They stole my garbage!
Police! Help! Not my *garbage!*
Racoon, the often used icon for stealing, suprisingly not on this list....lol
Raccoons are Scavengers
They dont choose the obvious animals. It's not as interesting.
ive been binge watching your videos for 2 days now i love it i love this this is the information i have been craving
"The average commenter is like a dewdrop spider, finding a good and funny thing thing to comment and then uses it on a different video"- Other commenter
You stole his joke?
Danny Landrum
That itself is the joke
Well researched and well presented... Thumbs up!
You're brilliant! Thank you so much.
Don't mention it.
Michael steals my heart with that lovely speaking voice of his. 😙
You guys do such amazing things
one of the best ones so far!
LMAO
"Little monkey mobsters"
😂🤣 I laughed out loud, I needed to hear that. Didn't know I did, but I sure did. I love this show.
Great episode guys
I love his voice and how he explains. He's the best
A sincere thank you to all of those people studying bugs to allow this lazy person to have that same knowledge without all that icky work.
Thiiiiieves! Curse it and crash it! We hates it foreveeeer!
once had toothpaste stolen by a monkey in Borneo. We found the tube with big bite marks in it on the ground just outside where we were staying (it had gotten inside while we weren't there), the part that made this go from annoying to slightly entertaining was when shortly after we spotted a monkey... with toothpaste still on its face and I don't think it liked it very much...
Yesssssssss he’s back!!!
The alliteration on this video is awesome
Black bears are becoming increasingly more reliant on humans, at least here in New Jersey, USA. I've literally had bears walk up to me while taking the garbage out because it wanted to take the bag.
I think the most favorable outcome for animals who's theft is discovered is to get together to form a Jane's Addiction cover band.
Wow great video
Perhaps raccoons weren’t on this list because everyone already knows and perhaps has experienced a darn raccoon with their sneaky little hands.
1:16 no wonder they are called DEWdrop spiders
Today I learned that facultative parasites exist, before I thought a parasite must be obligated. Thanks u guys, loveya!
Stop! you violated the law. Pay the court a fine or serve your sentence .
Your stolen goods are now forfeit.
8:50 My friend got his glasses stolen by the monkeys. The amazing thing it another monkey did the stealing from behind, while a younger monkey was acting as a distraction.
There should be more list videos like this like loudest insects or something
#1 UA-camr compilation channels
The new Theif Simulation looks great
I wish I could post that gif from Over the Garden Wall with the horse saying “I wanna steal!”
In Yellowstone grisly bears have been known to drive wolves off their kills. Bald eagles, foxes, coyotes, ravens, buzzards, and other animals also steal from wolves. Wolves also steal kills from coyotes and mountain lions.
Nr 1 is Starlord. "Skinny kid, could fit in places we couldn't. Good for thieving"

"Fork-tailed Drongo" is such a great name for a bird
Part 2 please
That's how Mafia works.
2 questions I need you to answer please.
1. Why do our bodies get welts on them? When we bump or bruise we have welts?
2. What can babies see in the first year of life? New mom here and I'd like to know my baby's eye development.
Thanks for the videos.
I remember when I traveled to Iguazu falls as a kid. A quati stole a whole hamburger from the mouth of by brother as he was biting it. Hilarious.
Why isn’t Michael blinking lmao
In Aus and NZ, drongos are PEOPLE!
Similar to the bird too...except stupid.
Yeah, as a kiwi, it always cracks me up so hard when I hear an Ozzy with a thick accent calling someone a drongo.
@@michaelheliotis5279 I'm a kiwi too and my mum would call people drongo or Yobbo haha. Since wanker was more 'rude'.
Oh! be quiet, you Gallah!
(I knew 'Drongo' sounded familiar.
Steller's Jays will mimic red tailed hawks in order to get other species to vacate areas with food.
Wow! Most of the animals/creatures/whatever on this list perform acts that I can DEFINITELY see human beings doing, as well. Makes me wonder if we saw the behaviors of some of these and thought, "I bet I could do that!", prior to corporate takeovers, murder, etc. Scary thought...
So THAT'S what Junkrat's been talking about this whole time
lol, i went to that temple in bali and got a bottle of vitamin c stolen from my pants pocket when i was like 6. i sulked for hours and decided i never want to go there anymore, especially since now i have to wear glasses X'D
but the thing is, those monkeys actually have a symbiotic relationship with the humans around the temple, sort of. many tourists don't usually bring around a lot of food to feed the monkeys, so many locals set up fruit stands around. when a monkey steals something, local humans would offer fruits for a price to feed the monkeys. so basically humans and monkeys have learned to work together to con tourists.
A gull tried to steal my chips once... ONCE!
I think you my want to add eels, My Siblings keep stealing my fish.
Took a lesson from Kazuma.
I need yall to make a video about fish oil, please!
It's not stealing. Its survival of the fittest.
5:15 - All of your hive are belong to buzz.
My cat stole my ❤
and then there's *the* *politician* ...the most evolved kleptoparasite
The fork-tailed drongo is the Garak of birds.
You know something's going on when Taikamuna, kremit the frog, Muscle Hank, and Avery Lopez-Baines are commenting on the same video.
7:40... my husky does this. Takes the food right from my mouth with no resistance from me.
2: „You‘re a thief! A lier and a thief!“
magnifique!
Yes, there are about 8-10% of those comments you thought about as of now(out of 116), mostly on the bottom.
Thanks so much, i can totally use this to debate mortality vs. criminality in human existence. The Churches action against this psychological struggle and the governments way to handle this phenomenon.
Huh?... My comment... ? My great comment! Where did it go? I left it right here and... *THIEVES!*
I call humans being the top one
@Cesar Rabbit Humans don't parasitize, they make their own stuff, and what they don't they obtain fair and square.
This Video was about animals who steal other animals, I dont heard about a human steal something from a deer
@@kamishin7135 honey... classic kleptoparasitism. and god damn it i like honey...
Dewdrop spiders class changed from assassin to thief.
Fork tailed drongo - this is South Africa's ANC goverment
Living in Australia I have had more Kookaburras steal from me then any other bird
Dewdrop Spiders quit the Dark Brotherhood and joined the Thieves Guild instead. Makes sense.
that pic with the beehive triggered my phobia. I'm sure I'm not the only one. It might need to be edited out of this video
