"Hyenas never get tired" which means that their depiction in the game Conan Exiles was accurate. As they will just keep chasing you unless you jump off a cliff or climb up one. And sometimes they'll still find a way to get to you.
Even when there isn't enough food for the whole pack, african wild dogs will still always let the pups eat first. They don't really care if they don't get to eat for a few days or if they have to live off scraps as long as the pups stay well fed. They really are one of my favourite animals. They're also one of the few animals that been found actually mourning the loss of a pack member
That’s the thing that makes me sad about it too. They’re so amazing, yet they’re critically endangered. It’s getting a bit better, but for such amazing animals it’s very sad.
Lions do the same too. The lead lioness often wont eat if the pride is hungry. Males eat first if they are around but cubs get priority. Lionesses will rebel against the pride males during take over and break away from a pride or die just of the chance her cub may live. Motherhood in the animal kingdom is amazing.
Apologies if this is weird its cool to see someone my age doing really well researched list-style videos with well-written scripts that make me nose exhale, for once. You and Lindsay Nicole have this corner of youtube on lock.
Well Researched? He parrot'd the global warming myth vs polar bears. That's pure political money scam, polar bears are doing better than ever due to the limiting of hunting by inuit populations and global warming hasn't been happening for a few decades which is why they re branded the scam to " climate change ". It's about as well researched as narrating a wikipedia page.
I knew a guy who went on an African Safari. He told me that when he got there, the guide told them to stay in the trucks regardless of what happens. Someone raised their hand and said "because of lions, right?" The guide straight up laughed and said "no, lions run. Hyenas chase."
@@aduckingod5328 yeah but knowing me I wouldn't want to cause a fuss so I'd just be like "oh, you want to eat me? Well, as much as I disagree with this, I'm not one for confrontation, so I suppose if you absolutely must eat me, then so be it."
I misread that and missed the word "the" before chills and thought you meant the funny countdown voice guy would come for you and my reaction was "understandable, have a nice day"
Chills? When I see one, they'll be in my rearview before my visual cortex can identify it. I've seen too much about those fat grey terminators with an underbite and the worst attitude in the animal kingdom.
Growing up in Australia we (most of us anyway) are taught very early not to touch anything unless someone else shows you how and that its safe, also never go into an area you havent been before without finding out the dangers first and how to mitigate them as much as possible. Ive litterally broken up with partners because I didnt want to witness their death, I like remote camping and stupidity isn't tolerated by the aussie wilderness.

Not only do you start bleeding after the Komodo dragons bite, another plus is that as you run away dripping with blood, it smells it to find you after you've slowed down from the bacteria in your system. Literally you can't run or hide after a bite.
I'll always remember that old footage (some of it shown in this video) where the Komodo dragon bites the water buffalo (?) and tracks it while it waits to die. How awful would it be to have this gaping, festering wound in your leg and have a couple of dragons just following you around for days and days on end, constantly pestering and taunting you, keeping their distance but occasionally nipping at your heels like "Haha sucka, you gonna die!" while you're just trying to walk away and live another day?
@@sluttymctits4496 ya komodo dragons as casual geographic said r deathly underrated I'd rather get put out by a shark over them aleast that sht can take 1 to 30 seconds unlike with them that will follow you for days on end constantly looming over you as stress and fear eats at ur sanity
The reason ive always been scared if them, like when one came near the glass in the zoo i was kinda scared. Just a small layer of gladd between me and that demon.
The picture of the emaciated polar bear you used was actually from a documentary on polar bears, and was the sister who didn’t learn to hunt early so she struggled later for it when her brother who was honing his hunting skills long before she even tried had no problem finding food for himself. She didn’t make it long after she was filmed in that state but her brother was much healthier than her thanks to his ability to hunt better than her and was found doing quite well as he aged.
What a sad situation 😔 I know that not all animals make it in the wild but it's still really heartbreaking to see. Do you know why she struggled to learn or be taught? Like could she just not get the hang of it for no real obvious reason or were there's other factors that caused problems?
@@Nodeal757 I found the documentary again, it’s “two polar bear siblings struggle to survive” on free documentary nature on YT. From the commentary of the narrator and from watching it again it really does look like sister bear just enjoyed playing too much and didn’t put in enough effort to learn hunting so she didn’t make it. It is sad regardless, anyone who doesn’t think an animal (edit)*dying is sad is a big red flag to me. But it’s harsh being on your own. Nature has no participation trophies.
@@part-timebrock1126 This is North America rules. The rules for other places might be different. Probably the same in Europe and North Asia. You won't see white bears at all in India. If you see any bear in Africa get out your camera you just found a cryptid.
@@fillequixote bestie, ryan thompson didn't say "simile" they said "synonym" a synonym is a word for a word or phrase that is similar to or has the same meaning as another word for example, kill is a synonym for murder
Fun Fact: Cape buffalo tend to not die even if u shoot them vitally with an elephant rifle. They get a ridiculous burst of adrenaline after being shot so it's basically like dealing with a 1 ton methhead.
There used to be a specialty gun for cape buffalo called a 4 bore. Essentially a smoothbore rifle; that was comparable to a 4 gauge shotgun, that shot a projectile the size of a steel ball bearing.
Really glad to see the murdercow get the recognition it deserves. All you ever hear about is goddamn hippos. There's a reason hippos aren't a part of the big 5. For a big game hunter, a hippo is only really good for being bait to catch a lion or leopard. Hippos are cowards against anything that can actually fight back. Cape buffalo don't care, they'll fuckin' fight you. They'll attack anything from armored trucks to elephants. They don't tend to win these fights, but it doesn't matter. They're hateful enough to pick fights they can't win just because fuck you. Australia thinks they have scary wildlife. LOL. Africa has COWS that are one of the most dangerous animals on the planet.
Fun fact about the blue ring octopus when handling it, if the rings aren't vibrant, it's not feeling overly threatened. One those rings are bright, you'd better leave them alone cause that's the only warning you've got before they bite
@@aeiztaloraezi7687 you can study them without being suicidal We can study the most brute force homicidal animals on the planet But we really about to do the opposite with one of the most venomous creatures on the planet that can kill you without mauling you Cut the shit
"Anything that tries this hard to be seen is probaply more toxic than the future. This goes for Octopus and People." You really have a way with words, this statement is spot on.
African Wild Dogs have an interesting hunting technique. So while the whole pack is chasing the prey, there will be some in the front right up on the animal, while several others hang back. Then when the ones in the front get tired, they will slow down to regain energy, and allow the ones in the back to push forward. It’s awesome.
Someone hire this man for a documentary, I guarantee you, as traumatizing as it might be, I'd definitely flash back to 1st grade where I was excited to learn about animals.

In my first aid class, the instructor told us about a guy who had been bitten by a blue ringed octopus. That neurotoxin paralyses you completely, but you're still completely conscious of everything going on around you. He said he remembers the two people performing CPR on him considering giving up on him because they didn't understand the details of the venom and how it works/what it does. They didn't know he wasn't dead.
Natures only goal is to inflict maximum pain. Animals are strong physically almost indestructible… but they are evil and only care about depravity… humans are smart but we are pathetic. We are powerless maggots that sadly are the one who was the ability for compassion… shows that creation feeds of our agony… nature is a parasite. It deserves to be destroyed
Honestly, who needs horror movies when this guy has a UA-cam channel? The shining has nothing compared to the horror. This guy explains to you in a daily basis, in the most monotone and chill way possible.
one thing to mention is that the way primordial humans hunt is the same as those hyenas. just slower. just imagine half a dozen humans with pointy sticks walking, not running, after you for days. except if they feel impatient, in which case you need to remember, a "marathon" is human recreation. and they didnt sleep. they just walked after the prey for days until it was too exausted to even stand, and would just lay there waiting to get its ticket punched by pointy sticks.
You know if animals could watch this video, humans should be on it. Because even people kill there food before eating it, they keep it in captivity in really poor conditions for it's entire life basically torturing it (well some people) and sometimes don't even eat it, not to mention how well some people can track the animals they are hunting if a "human" has even found a footprint of that animal... its toast
Let's just take a moment to appreciate the mad lad picking up the Komodo dragon and giving it a big ol hug. I will say as an aside, monitor lizards are wildly smart, and with proper rewarding interactions some species can become quite tame and even affectionate with humans. If you put in the work, some species make wonderful companions.
For my very first presentation in school, I chose Komodo Dragons & made a big diorama. Some girl called them gross & I kicked her. Not my proudest moment, but... Also not my absolute worst moment. 😆🤣
This channel is so good. I used to be a guide/educator at a zoo facility. I have a Biology and Theatre degree so I was a natural at speaking to the public about animals. (I don't like bragging, but I want my compliment to mean as much as possible). It can be very difficult to educate people about animals. There's a ton of misinformation out there, people's attention spans can be shockingly short. Also, a lot of people want to believe that nature is way nicer/less cruel than it really is, and can become angry when that belief is challenged. This is frustrating because a lot of times the things we need to teach the general public are uncomfortable facts. The point of this is that I'm absolutely stunned at how great this channel is. He makes it look so much easier than it is. He has a very fun and interesting way of presenting the raw reality of nature. I wanted to send this as a private message so I could compliment (Just realized I don't know the gentleman's name) him on his talent, but I'm over 40 and don't know how to do that. LOL. I hope he is able to continue doing this work for a long time, maybe even get a Netflix deal. Great Job, Man!

Ignore the rude people. It's a very nice comment especially coming from a animal specialist. I hope you don't let negative people keep you from spreading kindness to others. We all need to hear when we are doing good, as it reinforces our commitment and interest in doing so. Positive reinforcement is FAR more effective and practical than negative renforcement, ask anybody who studies behavioral science and psychology. To the assholes who are gonna say something smart towards this or anyone else; firstly, don't bother because it's your time you're wasting not mine. Also if you want to persuade someone to think or act the way you do then don't be a dick. A wise woman once told me "sugar catches more flies than vinegar, but do we really want to catch flies?" Hope all is well, and you have a wonderful day. I love his videos too, and really hope he sees your comment.
Can we all agree that this channel is a stroke of educational, entertainment and social media genius? That clip with the hyena goin for the "family jewels" was .... (whew!) ... well .... sobering.
Well, he ain't lying when he said every male will feel that and oh my I did cover my bumbersack like how racoons hold their food when that footage shows up
Same, not even a dude and I cringed for the family jewels I don't even have on behalf of the men I know 😂 Owww, I sure hope adrenaline & shock helps animals not feel it as much, or at all. 😳 Many ppl say even nasty bites or attacks aren't immediately painful. I want to think it works the same way in animals.
My uncle is a vet that worked in tiger reserves all across India, he said that every time a tiger was found gravely injured and needed a stitching up. It was nearly always bears. He is right, sloth bears do attack unprovoked and tigers being the very confident animals that they are often venture too close to these bears and get caught off guard often.
I remember the huge story made when a mother accidentally dropped her toddler in the African Wild Dog exhibit at a zoo‼️ Everyone was helpless to watch as the whole pack twax-feasted him from the moment he hit the ground till the staff got there 10-15min later 🤕🥩🐕🐕
@@simplyrohith2163 We are pretty weak, us humans don't have much bite force and muscle strength. We are actually fit, wich means that we have more stamina, this is because of an ability called sweating. Sweating cools us off whilst running, because of that we can last longer running. Humans are very smart, spears and fire made us one of the most dangerous species alive of course. We're also omnivores, so when we couldn't find prey we would just eat fruits. Those are the reasons that we are on the top of the food chain, so even if we were weak, we still overcame every obstacle.

10:55: In the old days, my Inuit ancestors always said:" The nanoq (polar bear) can hear your thoughts." That is because they sometimes stalked humans, who were out on the ice in winter, catching seals. And they would stalk for DAYS! I have a book, where old folks tell about polar bear encounters. In one story, a bear broke into an Inuit HOUSE, while the family was inside! Luckily, the dad shot the bear. In another one, a man in a kayak saw a polar bear using its enormous paw to keel over another kayak, and eating the man, who tried to hunt it! They were three men, but only two came home...
@@_Eternos I searched it up and the last time they hunted polar bears were Literally this year, they still hunt them so the old days literally could be talking about they're childhood, plus polar bear attacks are now more common.
It'll honestly never cease to amaze me how we as humans were surrounded with all these animals and some how survived and now we're learning about them online, or seeing them in zoos. That's wild to me honestly. Like we have the tools/weapons to "fight" or "contain" these animals but without that there's really no competition
The exact reason why. We’re physically weak nor durable, but we got thumbs and creative af also determined to snuff out anything that is a threat to us.
The "moose steppin on nutsack" statement really got to me because I've recently been researching Alaskan wildlife for a Fallout campaign I'm building and this, naturally, led me to the moose, and I've been learning about moose (among other animals) and I now know how terrifying they are!
You may think you now how terrifying they are, but the moment you're up close and personal you will understand it. Thing is they are huge. Yes. yes I know you've read that already and seen the videos. But being physically close to one really brings it home. You are not at the apex when a moose is staring you down from a few feet. Even if you have a gun you will know you are not the one in control of this situation, and if your weapon of choice is a camera you will probably forget about it the moment you realize just how insignificant you are to this wall of muscles that is staring at you while deciding if you are better of as a smear on the ground or if it has something better to do with it's time... So moose are best viewed from a distance, and then they can be appreciated for what they are, but you do not get the full experience...

It’s funny that humans have the same hunting strategy as African wild dogs, run until the prey gets exhausted. We are made to run miles and miles without getting tired.
@@vinay2004p We have not evolved from that point actually. It'll take a lot longer still for that to no longer be a thing for us. its just the average lifestyles people have are absolute garbage. only the people who legit care about their fitness and cardio at this point can do it because they're reconditioned to do it. people being able to run marathons should not be amazing to us, before we got fat and lazy as a species that was EVERY DAY for EVERYONE.
Love your delivery + content. Learning made differently refreshing. Info. Humor & the delivery is a great mix. Especially for my Junior High students with discussion after the video. Thanks. It is keeping them engaged. Much more interested in the animal world. Ideas of Conservation is where the conversation ends.
The way that the hippo's mouth can open to like a 150 degree angle is absolutely terrifying. Nature is really scary when you stop and think about it lol
@@lukky6648 People get like that too, when they have to hustle all day to get by. It's exhausting and removes a lot of energy they might use otherwise on feelings. You can see it in kids living in tough parts of a city, and also in high pressure corporate jobs. Just a thought.
And, about those cape buffalo - I' was told that once they've marked you for death, they can use their tails to flick urine into your eyes, effectively blinding you before moving in for the kill. I also heard about a hunter who wounded one that turned around and chased the guy up a tree. The tree was very small, though, so the man couldn't go very high and his bare leg (he was wearing shorts) hung down far enough to where the buff could lick it. Their tongues, apparently, are rougher than lions'. The buffalo licked all the skin off the man's leg until he bled to death. They found him still in the tree, with one of his legs reduced to sheer bone.
I'm glad he put hippos so high on the list. I hate them, they make my sleep paralysis demons seem fking precious. I don't know why people think they are a cutesy harmless animal.
I feel weird enjoying learning about this but it's morbidly fascinating the way true crime is... Don't worry, I'm not one of the weird ones, I just find the psychology aspect interesting.
Fun fact: some scientists think that the same "venom" found in komodo dragons was also found in the t-rex. This would actually make sense as the t-rex ate anything from fresh kills to rancid carrion left in the sun which would have been collecting bacteria and germs. This would have benefited the t-rex as though they couldn't run very fast for too long if anything was able to survive the disrespect that was that one shot bite it would still either bleed to death or have a slow, painful, infected last day on earth.
@@AGenericFool a very cool hypothesis mind you, and one that furthers the connection between the long gone and what we have around today. Also think of how horrifying that would be, like not only can this thing rip us a collective new one with that bullshit bite, but also if you somehow manage to live through it ur fucked either way.
@@dhirenwirasinha6655 Yeaaaah, there's one BIG flaw with the hypothesis though: There's fossils that show bitemarks of t-rex that have healed. If they utilised a venom like the Komodo, that shit wouldn't happen. Hell, any venom even.
Tigers still considerate sloth ans asian black bear as a potential prey Just that instead of horn and hoove on a 100-1000 kg muscular deer/buffalo/gaur/Boar It's a medium sized hyperaggressive bear with theeths and claws
growing up in new zealand i heard a lot about komodo dragons. so when i saw pictures of people taking them for walks and hanging around them knowing they could kill you i was so confused and concerned for thier safety.
The most dangerous thing that could happen from the cause of an animal here is like a frickin kea stripping your car down in some hiking park car lot lmao
This actually made me think how strong, or rather fit and strategic, our ancestors must be to survive some of those beasts. Not to forget that in the past the Smilodon and other species could murder us really easy.
There are several animals that can murder us easily today but yet we survive, you have people still living in remote parts of the world today with out modern technology surrounded by all sorts of animals that could easily kill them but they are surviving.
A really sharp stick that's been reinforced by charring it in a fire and thrown by a human trained since birth to send it right into the neck of a predator can do some unbelievable damage that can be repeated by the other ten guys in the hunting party with multiple spears.
@@midoevil7 also lets not forget humans umatched ability in long distance running. If a human hunts you eahter make him loose your trail or he will eventually catch up.
The worst story I've heard about the blue ring octopus is when a dude got bit and he was paralyzed face up and couldn't tell the people keeping him alive that he was staring into the sun. He burned his retinas and went blind.
That's... pretty oblivious of the rescuers. It's great that they're helping, but it would also be great to use some thought. This is why it's good for people to start learning to be empathic.

As a South African who grew up spending time in nature and on school trips and going on safari holidays and just grew up awarebof the native wildlife... My biggest irrational fear isnt getting stuck in the bush with a lion. Its getting stuck in the bush with hyenas or wild dogs. Because you arent getting out of that situation.
Hearing about the African spotted dogs and hyenas makes me think about how terrifying human persistence hunters must be to the animals we hunt this way
That's actually how ancient cavemen hunted in the African savannah I heard. We'd run down big game like the mammoths and such until they were so exhausted someone could get the killing blow. I could be wrong, but it's something I heard.
@@Zeeboklown nope its the truth, although unlike hyenas and african wild dogs humans would keep sweating to stay cool, unlike exhausting them we'd kill them with heatstroke or we would hit them with some ranged weapon making them bleed while they run.
i remember the story of a guy that survivied a wild dogs attack, he basically said that the key to survival is jump, not to escape but to attack, you have to stomp with both feets on every dog you can without stepping in the same spot twice, i did some maths on how this could be possible and i found out that the average wild dog weight is around 22kg while the average human weight is 80kg, which means that if you jump over a wild dog theres 58 kg (maybe more due to gravity) that will crush their bodies, especially their legs because they are not made to bear that much weight, so in a few moments the dogs retreat due to injuries and deaths.
I weigh 55 kg. I guess I'll just die. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But seriously if you're attacked by 10-15 wild dogs I don't think becoming a Mario to squish them should work. That guy gotta be insanely lucky to survive.

“With a vice grip for a mouth and the eating habits of a coffin, If a clan of Hyenas is your series finale then the only thing your family will have left to bury is memories.” Quote of the decade.
The Blue Ring octopus doesn't seem _so bad in comparison_ - does it eat you while you're *still alive* … No, it doesn't even eat you. And it won't even hunt you and chase you down. You'll just have to spend some uncomfortable time on a ventilator - and it's not like _those_ are currently in short supply due to high demand … … Oh.
while i will say it is a less painful death compared to the rest, imagine swimming or surfing in the ocean and then you just cant move, you fall underwater, you cant breathe ,move or scream as you sink into the depths of the ocean helpless, waiting to pass out from lack of oxygen, never even knowing what happened. Its scary stuff
5:02 this is actually also how humans would sometimes hunt, especially on plains/flatlands. Our ability to sweat is one of the most efficient ways among mammals to cool down and keep going (especially as it can cool us without having to stop and rest). Most prey can't complete a marathon at a human's pace.
Humans marathon for fun. Even untrained people can complete a half-marathon at a slow jog. I think it's easy to forget that we were an apex predator in Africa before we started considering ourselves as above the classification
@@hartincmajor202 humans were not exactly apex predators where we first evolved in sub-saharan Africa. However, our extreme adaptability made humans the most effective invasive species to ever exist on earth, eventually becoming apex predators.

what? dude humans are shit at anything athletic... we hold our breathe the worst. we can't run fast because we only use 2 legs. and we arent even scary without a gun because our teeth aren't pointy and our nails are soft. we cant handle heat well. and we cant handle the cold. our skin is soft and we cant eat food without cooking it. we are also the weakest sob, especially compared to our ancestors, apes. if humans didnt have big brains we would be extinct. we die to everything, scared of everything and can't fight anything or run from anything. we need a vehicle, gun, or armor. squirrel is small, runs faster. mosquito is tiny, kills us with a bite. bee can sting us and kill us. bear is huge, runs faster. elephant has tough skin and can crush us. fish can bite us and cause disease. we literally suck.
Sloth bears are like the honey badgers of India. They can and will attack literally anything that threatens them. Including breaking glass windows from cars because why not? But the thing is they are so calm initially you would have no idea when it might pounce on you.
The sloth bear is smaller and therefore potential prey for the strong and dangerous animals around it, and because of that, it compensates by being extremely aggressive and using hyperviolence to keep itself safe? Sounds like every Joe Pesci character
The polar is feared on the land. When I went go off onto an island nearby many other islands, I always had to watch my back since polar bears could stalk us on the land. Always watch your back out on the Arctic. Also I love ur videos Casual, keep them up
My buddy is originally from northern Manitoba, and he had a crazy story from when he was visiting family there. One of his late father's friends had a big ass Husky, idk if it was like 80-100lbs or something (seen pics of the dog, but never met it) but anyways. Owner goes to call in the dog cuz the sun is starting to set, and the dog doesn't come in. He goes to look, and sees the dog playing with a polar bear. (Truthfully idk how much was playing and how much was fighting to try and kill eachother but regardless) after a little while I think about 5 minutes, the bear eventually remembers it's a bear and pimp slaps the dog. The owner, becomes enraged, grabs the biggest metal shovel he has and charges the bear, hits the bear directly over the head, and the shovel literally shatters on this tanks head. Bear ain't having that shit and smacks the dude unconscious. Somehow he lived, but I'm not sure how mobile he still is. Not sure if the dog made it or not.
@@BTpaintballer while I don't know you're right or wrong about this. What I do know is that one rifle shot isn't doing much to a white privilege self driving truck
With polar bears, it's not a starving situation to go after humans, it's just being near them and them being the slightest bit hungry...they know humans tend to be less capable of getting away than most of the other animals in the area. Also, for white bears, the Spirit Bear is also a white bear, but it's a black bear species.

"Hyenas never get tired" which means that their depiction in the game Conan Exiles was accurate. As they will just keep chasing you unless you jump off a cliff or climb up one. And sometimes they'll still find a way to get to you.
They chase you really far, but they do actually go back to their spawn in the game.
Cannon they chase you so I often try find other animals to eat them when I was early in game
I think that's just serendipity. Hyenas aren't the only persistent buggers in that game, no?
Too real 😂😂
Couldnt agree more
Even when there isn't enough food for the whole pack, african wild dogs will still always let the pups eat first. They don't really care if they don't get to eat for a few days or if they have to live off scraps as long as the pups stay well fed. They really are one of my favourite animals. They're also one of the few animals that been found actually mourning the loss of a pack member
That’s the thing that makes me sad about it too. They’re so amazing, yet they’re critically endangered. It’s getting a bit better, but for such amazing animals it’s very sad.
My favorite African animal…like wolves in this country they are considered pests. They are slowly coming but are still in great trouble.
The only good part about them is you get to see a cute dog as you get mauled to death... cursed dogs...
That's really cool, it shows some level of understanding about how future generations are so important.
Lions do the same too. The lead lioness often wont eat if the pride is hungry. Males eat first if they are around but cubs get priority. Lionesses will rebel against the pride males during take over and break away from a pride or die just of the chance her cub may live.
Motherhood in the animal kingdom is amazing.

Not only do you start bleeding after the Komodo dragons bite, another plus is that as you run away dripping with blood, it smells it to find you after you've slowed down from the bacteria in your system.
Literally you can't run or hide after a bite.
I'll always remember that old footage (some of it shown in this video) where the Komodo dragon bites the water buffalo (?) and tracks it while it waits to die. How awful would it be to have this gaping, festering wound in your leg and have a couple of dragons just following you around for days and days on end, constantly pestering and taunting you, keeping their distance but occasionally nipping at your heels like "Haha sucka, you gonna die!" while you're just trying to walk away and live another day?

The picture of the emaciated polar bear you used was actually from a documentary on polar bears, and was the sister who didn’t learn to hunt early so she struggled later for it when her brother who was honing his hunting skills long before she even tried had no problem finding food for himself. She didn’t make it long after she was filmed in that state but her brother was much healthier than her thanks to his ability to hunt better than her and was found doing quite well as he aged.
😢 that’s actually heartbreaking though.
@@kuroe-chan5190 Sad, but it's what happens to animals that don't learn the way of the hunt. It's not instinct so much as a learned skill.

What a sad situation 😔 I know that not all animals make it in the wild but it's still really heartbreaking to see. Do you know why she struggled to learn or be taught? Like could she just not get the hang of it for no real obvious reason or were there's other factors that caused problems?
@@Nodeal757 I found the documentary again, it’s “two polar bear siblings struggle to survive” on free documentary nature on YT. From the commentary of the narrator and from watching it again it really does look like sister bear just enjoyed playing too much and didn’t put in enough effort to learn hunting so she didn’t make it. It is sad regardless, anyone who doesn’t think an animal (edit)*dying is sad is a big red flag to me. But it’s harsh being on your own. Nature has no participation trophies.

There used to be a specialty gun for cape buffalo called a 4 bore. Essentially a smoothbore rifle; that was comparable to a 4 gauge shotgun, that shot a projectile the size of a steel ball bearing.

African Wild Dogs have an interesting hunting technique. So while the whole pack is chasing the prey, there will be some in the front right up on the animal, while several others hang back. Then when the ones in the front get tired, they will slow down to regain energy, and allow the ones in the back to push forward. It’s awesome.
Yeah thats incredibly Insidious
Play smarter, not harder.

This channel is so good. I used to be a guide/educator at a zoo facility. I have a Biology and Theatre degree so I was a natural at speaking to the public about animals. (I don't like bragging, but I want my compliment to mean as much as possible). It can be very difficult to educate people about animals. There's a ton of misinformation out there, people's attention spans can be shockingly short. Also, a lot of people want to believe that nature is way nicer/less cruel than it really is, and can become angry when that belief is challenged. This is frustrating because a lot of times the things we need to teach the general public are uncomfortable facts. The point of this is that I'm absolutely stunned at how great this channel is. He makes it look so much easier than it is. He has a very fun and interesting way of presenting the raw reality of nature. I wanted to send this as a private message so I could compliment (Just realized I don't know the gentleman's name) him on his talent, but I'm over 40 and don't know how to do that. LOL.

The "moose steppin on nutsack" statement really got to me because I've recently been researching Alaskan wildlife for a Fallout campaign I'm building and this, naturally, led me to the moose, and I've been learning about moose (among other animals) and I now know how terrifying they are!
How is it going?
The campaign I mean
You may think you now how terrifying they are, but the moment you're up close and personal you will understand it. Thing is they are huge. Yes. yes I know you've read that already and seen the videos. But being physically close to one really brings it home. You are not at the apex when a moose is staring you down from a few feet. Even if you have a gun you will know you are not the one in control of this situation, and if your weapon of choice is a camera you will probably forget about it the moment you realize just how insignificant you are to this wall of muscles that is staring at you while deciding if you are better of as a smear on the ground or if it has something better to do with it's time...
So moose are best viewed from a distance, and then they can be appreciated for what they are, but you do not get the full experience...

It’s funny that humans have the same hunting strategy as African wild dogs, run until the prey gets exhausted. We are made to run miles and miles without getting tired.
But we have evolved from that point my dude , can't even climb stairs.
@@vinay2004p lol yeah
we used to be two legged hunting machines to people that can't even climb stairs
@@vinay2004p i mean we still could, it's just our way of lifestyle which prevents us. Professional sport athletes for example
Yessiree.. persistence hunting
@@vinay2004p We have not evolved from that point actually. It'll take a lot longer still for that to no longer be a thing for us. its just the average lifestyles people have are absolute garbage. only the people who legit care about their fitness and cardio at this point can do it because they're reconditioned to do it. people being able to run marathons should not be amazing to us, before we got fat and lazy as a species that was EVERY DAY for EVERYONE.

Love your delivery + content. Learning made differently refreshing. Info. Humor & the delivery is a great mix. Especially for my Junior High students with discussion after the video. Thanks. It is keeping them engaged. Much more interested in the animal world. Ideas of Conservation is where the conversation ends.
The way that the hippo's mouth can open to like a 150 degree angle is absolutely terrifying. Nature is really scary when you stop and think about it lol
Seriously , few animals such as dog and cats are intelligent enough to actually "Care" at all , others are just pure evil and hunt with no remorse
90 degrees is a bit of an understatement that looked like almost 180 degrees
90? That’s a whole 160
A gape of up to 150 degrees.

And, about those cape buffalo - I' was told that once they've marked you for death, they can use their tails to flick urine into your eyes, effectively blinding you before moving in for the kill. I also heard about a hunter who wounded one that turned around and chased the guy up a tree. The tree was very small, though, so the man couldn't go very high and his bare leg (he was wearing shorts) hung down far enough to where the buff could lick it. Their tongues, apparently, are rougher than lions'. The buffalo licked all the skin off the man's leg until he bled to death. They found him still in the tree, with one of his legs reduced to sheer bone.

Fun fact: some scientists think that the same "venom" found in komodo dragons was also found in the t-rex. This would actually make sense as the t-rex ate anything from fresh kills to rancid carrion left in the sun which would have been collecting bacteria and germs. This would have benefited the t-rex as though they couldn't run very fast for too long if anything was able to survive the disrespect that was that one shot bite it would still either bleed to death or have a slow, painful, infected last day on earth.
Fun fact : T. rex pooped .
that’s actually a myth
@@MagnusTonitrum117 It's currently a hypothesis, nothing more nothing less.
@@AGenericFool a very cool hypothesis mind you, and one that furthers the connection between the long gone and what we have around today.

@@dhirenwirasinha6655 Yeaaaah, there's one BIG flaw with the hypothesis though: There's fossils that show bitemarks of t-rex that have healed. If they utilised a venom like the Komodo, that shit wouldn't happen. Hell, any venom even.

This actually made me think how strong, or rather fit and strategic, our ancestors must be to survive some of those beasts. Not to forget that in the past the Smilodon and other species could murder us really easy.
There are several animals that can murder us easily today but yet we survive, you have people still living in remote parts of the world today with out modern technology surrounded by all sorts of animals that could easily kill them but they are surviving.
A really sharp stick that's been reinforced by charring it in a fire and thrown by a human trained since birth to send it right into the neck of a predator can do some unbelievable damage that can be repeated by the other ten guys in the hunting party with multiple spears.
it’s not necessarily them that were just more fit, you’d be surprised how many of us humans could survive without modern technology
You don't need that much fit if you have fire, weapons, projectiles and numbers
@@midoevil7 also lets not forget humans umatched ability in long distance running. If a human hunts you eahter make him loose your trail or he will eventually catch up.
The worst story I've heard about the blue ring octopus is when a dude got bit and he was paralyzed face up and couldn't tell the people keeping him alive that he was staring into the sun. He burned his retinas and went blind.

Humans, an endurance hunter from Africa: “He does exactly what I do!”
African Wild Dogs & Hyenas: “But better.”
I always forget that we started out as endurance hunters. All we needed was something pokey, time, and something that would make a great meal.
Humans are the ultimate endurance hunters though.
The complimentary hunting methods and equal desire to pack bond is one of the reasons dogs were domesticated so early on.

As a South African who grew up spending time in nature and on school trips and going on safari holidays and just grew up awarebof the native wildlife...
My biggest irrational fear isnt getting stuck in the bush with a lion. Its getting stuck in the bush with hyenas or wild dogs. Because you arent getting out of that situation.
I have learnt more from this guy than any wildlife series. Love his unique style of narrating.
Hearing about the African spotted dogs and hyenas makes me think about how terrifying human persistence hunters must be to the animals we hunt this way
It's like that horror movie "It Follows" but actualy scary
That's actually how ancient cavemen hunted in the African savannah I heard. We'd run down big game like the mammoths and such until they were so exhausted someone could get the killing blow. I could be wrong, but it's something I heard.
@@Zeeboklown I remember seeing an educational video about an African tribe that still engages in persistence hunting. It was amazing to see
There is a chance that it causes fear in the animals that the hunters would chase given that they are wearing the skin.
@@Zeeboklown nope its the truth, although unlike hyenas and african wild dogs humans would keep sweating to stay cool, unlike exhausting them we'd kill them with heatstroke or we would hit them with some ranged weapon making them bleed while they run.
The blue-ringed octopus despite being so toxic, is actually very shy and has caused a very small amount of deaths.
Let me guess, most deaths were because people are idiots
Unlike my ex
@@giannakisxatzigiannis1394 your ex even caused deaths!!??
Can confirm
@@CLuB_Z can you confirm that octopi are shy or that the other commenter's ex murdered people?
i remember the story of a guy that survivied a wild dogs attack, he basically said that the key to survival is jump, not to escape but to attack, you have to stomp with both feets on every dog you can without stepping in the same spot twice, i did some maths on how this could be possible and i found out that the average wild dog weight is around 22kg while the average human weight is 80kg, which means that if you jump over a wild dog theres 58 kg (maybe more due to gravity) that will crush their bodies, especially their legs because they are not made to bear that much weight, so in a few moments the dogs retreat due to injuries and deaths.
I weigh 55 kg. I guess I'll just die. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
But seriously if you're attacked by 10-15 wild dogs I don't think becoming a Mario to squish them should work. That guy gotta be insanely lucky to survive.
Umm I will shoot in the air with a gun. And maybe the sound will scare them away.
And if that doesn't work, I will just shoot myself.
@@paridhigupta4958 If gun shot scares them then you'd rather try shooting one of them, even if you miss it would scare them off and if you hit there's one less doggo to deal with. And yes shooting yourself will definitely solve the problem, permanently.

5:02 this is actually also how humans would sometimes hunt, especially on plains/flatlands. Our ability to sweat is one of the most efficient ways among mammals to cool down and keep going (especially as it can cool us without having to stop and rest). Most prey can't complete a marathon at a human's pace.
Humans marathon for fun. Even untrained people can complete a half-marathon at a slow jog. I think it's easy to forget that we were an apex predator in Africa before we started considering ourselves as above the classification
And yet most Westerners would drop after two blocks...
@@hartincmajor202 humans were not exactly apex predators where we first evolved in sub-saharan Africa. However, our extreme adaptability made humans the most effective invasive species to ever exist on earth, eventually becoming apex predators.
@@capbarker theres a study from Tel-Aviv university that would disagree with you. I'll post the link or you can search the following phrase.

what? dude humans are shit at anything athletic... we hold our breathe the worst. we can't run fast because we only use 2 legs. and we arent even scary without a gun because our teeth aren't pointy and our nails are soft. we cant handle heat well. and we cant handle the cold. our skin is soft and we cant eat food without cooking it. we are also the weakest sob, especially compared to our ancestors, apes. if humans didnt have big brains we would be extinct.
we die to everything, scared of everything and can't fight anything or run from anything. we need a vehicle, gun, or armor.
squirrel is small, runs faster.

Sloth bears are like the honey badgers of India. They can and will attack literally anything that threatens them. Including breaking glass windows from cars because why not?
But the thing is they are so calm initially you would have no idea when it might pounce on you.
Would a honey badger have any chance against a sloth bear, I wonder?
...This is why Romans had animal fights, isn't it?
Yeah they are so aggressive pretty much everything hates them. Read up that even elephants and rhinos won't tolerate them.
The way the sloth bears flashes its gums is outright terryfying and calling it a demon would be correct.
The sloth bear is smaller and therefore potential prey for the strong and dangerous animals around it, and because of that, it compensates by being extremely aggressive and using hyperviolence to keep itself safe?

My buddy is originally from northern Manitoba, and he had a crazy story from when he was visiting family there.
One of his late father's friends had a big ass Husky, idk if it was like 80-100lbs or something (seen pics of the dog, but never met it) but anyways. Owner goes to call in the dog cuz the sun is starting to set, and the dog doesn't come in. He goes to look, and sees the dog playing with a polar bear. (Truthfully idk how much was playing and how much was fighting to try and kill eachother but regardless) after a little while I think about 5 minutes, the bear eventually remembers it's a bear and pimp slaps the dog. The owner, becomes enraged, grabs the biggest metal shovel he has and charges the bear, hits the bear directly over the head, and the shovel literally shatters on this tanks head. Bear ain't having that shit and smacks the dude unconscious. Somehow he lived, but I'm not sure how mobile he still is. Not sure if the dog made it or not.

What are you supposed to do if you see a polar?
With polar bears, it's not a starving situation to go after humans, it's just being near them and them being the slightest bit hungry...they know humans tend to be less capable of getting away than most of the other animals in the area.
Also, for white bears, the Spirit Bear is also a white bear, but it's a black bear species.
Yes we humans are helpless and completely pathetic. Even with a gun the only way we can defeat an animal is in an ambush.
