The reason wels catfish grow damn big in Chernobyl cooling ponds is the lack of human presence. Without anyone actively trying to hunt them and also a good and undisturbed ecosystem, they can grow larger than what people usually expect. Im sick and tired of people saying that the radioactive pond causes them to mutate and grow huge. It isnt the case. It just really angers me since its a pretty straightforward answer.
Catfish get fucking huge even in the Southern United States. There was even a (probably made up) tale about a massive catfish that could drag small animals down, and capsize small rowboats.
The animals in Chernobyl have a higher rate of mutations than otherwise, but these mutations are small patches of discoloration (tiny white spots). Mutations like extreme deformities were recorded in stillborn wildlife immediately after Chernobyl exploded. These animals did not reproduce obviously.
If it isnt the stonefish its probably wrong. Stonefish aren't activley trying to hurt you but they camoflauge super well and can kill you if you step on one
But stingrays are adorable goobers. Barracuda are cool too. Gar do look like a prehistoric murder beast, but they're super docile unless you're trying to catch one. Hell, perch are more dangerous, because they could slash tendons with their spines. Gar would, at worst, cut you with their scales a bit and leave some painful ( but easily treated) puncture wounds.
@@Tallgeese-Enthusiast by saying that you are literally going against Steve’s wishes he literally said to not blame the stingray and that he got too close.
I have been binging a lot of your vids recently and I can confidently tell you this same voice made a similar video with the exact same intro and reused audio down to the animals, just in a different order from a previous video you have watched lol. They even copied the threat's audio too. Lol some of these top ten videos are so effing lazy. Love your videos.
Attacking shiny things isn't even special to barracudas if that is what they're basing its classification as "dangerous" lmao. Not even unique to fish in general. SO MANY animals are drawn to shiny things and will target you for it (even if just because they wanna take it). And I STG, the fear mongering of stingrays and the death of Steve Irwin is so damn disrespectful, even without him literally using his last moments to say not to do so. Besides, I've literally pet and fed stingrays that were pretty much just aquatic dogs lmao. They'd literally brush against my hand of their own accord even when I wasn't paying attention and actively petting because they just liked the attention so much. Far from "naturally aggressive" lmao.
- what is the most dangerous fish in the world? - great white shark - ok, but why? - because they are scary, and big, and eat meat, and big -any other reason? - big fish
About shark fearmongering, can confirm sharks are actually pretty chill. A nurse shark swam like within 3 feet of me at the beach one time, or at least that’s what I think it was. It was sharklike, it has shark sorta scales/fins, but it had more catfish-like proportions and it was like 4 or 5 feet or so, so I think that’s what it was. Anyway, the thing didn’t attack me or even acknowledge my existence. Guy was just kinda vibing. Not gonna lie, though, bolted toward the beach the moment I saw the thing lol. Didn’t quite know that they were chill yet. A second nurse confrontation, though, happened in the fl keys on a snorkeling trip. Thing was majestic! It was about 10 or so feet below me so it’s hard to tell the size but it seemed fairly large. Cool shit’s out there.
No one is afraid of nurse sharks though. I don't think there is a single reported nurse shark attack. I would be very afraid of a tiger shark or bull shark though. I'd be irrationally afraid if I saw a great white.
@@bananaraptor7747 Hot take; Nurse sharks show Convergent Evolution with catfish. They have the same sort of body shape and the game plan of just kind of swim around on the bottom and just eat whatever
Matt M There’s photos/videos of a guy that got bit on the arm by a juvenile nurse snark. He had to go to the hospital to get the shark removed from his arm because it just kinda locked in and wouldn’t let go. Word is the guy was messing with the shark and wouldn’t stop even after the shark tried to hide, so the shark finally had enough and bit him. Poor sharky.
Lots of the time animals are named after mythical creatures because people tend to think of a really weird creature, then go exploring and find something similar and name the new animal after the cryptid. For example, the Okapi was a myth before it was actually discovered, same with leopards and lions (for example, lions are on the UK coat of arms yet there obviously aren't any lions in the British Isles. They were a mythical creature that represented strength, similar to a dragon, then it turned out they were actually real)
11:24 there was a case in my homeland of Poland where someone out of no where started drowning. Lucky there were people near by and saved him. And altho he did managed to survive the damage was horific. The skin on his legs looked as if somebody scrubed sandpaper on them. Looking at all of this the catfish seems like the only possible atacker out of fish that live in Poland.
He himself in other video said in his state there is a lake with those catfish and there are a lot of dissapearances in the area, I dont know what to think.
Reason most people are 'scared' of gar is they are often in bodies of water that are fairly small for their size. Mostly due to being able to breath atmospheric oxygen, they end up in dried river beds and small pools left behind after rains and flooding. Finding a 4-6ft fish with inch long teeth in what amounts to a kiddie pool would put a shock into anybody not expecting it.
Here’s a “fun” fact, a writer of a book had a collection of about 1.2 million wasps and could fit a toothbrush up his…man part… bristle end first. Let that sink in.
The TV presenter Jeremy Wade literally hung out with Piranas in a pool and was fine. My dad did stand on and get stung by a stingway and although it hurt really bad he was given a bucket of soapy hot water to soak his leg in and was fine, we were in a national park so got first aid by the park ranger and didnt have to go to the hosptial/a doctor. Of course if you get stung multiple times or near your heart you're going to want to get to a hospital but it is not a huge danger, far far more ppl drown than die from a sting ray.
a quick story-I grew up in the South Pacific, and spend a good chunk of my time in the water. Dive regularly, have swum with large sharks, dolphins and various large marine organisms. the other day I was diving at the Poor Knights reserve(a spot called the "Northern Arc", if anyone is interested). there is this fascinating geological formation, its this "crack" in the cliff face that looks to be about a meter wide above the surface, but opens to about 10 meters wide underwater. a massive school of short-tail stingrays (maybe 50?) had gathered in the archway, stacked in layers. there is powerful wave action through the gap, which I was not prepared for, and I was thrown right into the middle of the pack (im pretty sure I ran into some of them). My BCD was a loose fit, so I was struggling around (not a little panicked), and they (the stingrays) just circled out of the way. excellent dive by the way-all the photos I found online dont do i justice. give it a go if you are in the vicinity.
There is actually a river monsters episode that talks about the candiru catfish was actually removed from a man's urethra. The episode shows actual pictures video of the operation and the doctor actually preserve the fish in a specimen jar did Jeremy Wade was actually able to look at. Check it out thank you for your opinion on it it :-)
@@iTzNikkitty This is the only known instance of a Candiru doing that to a human. It's basically an urban legend now. Don't pee in the Amazon and you'll be fine. The Candiru finds it's prey by following urine streams.
I personally think the deadliest fish is the blue crab, I mean, when trapped they sit still with their claws up ready to pinch anything in range of them. They become so aggressive once they are trapped it is no joke
"There's huge catfishes near Chernobyl" It's amazing how fishes can grow when you forbid fishermen to go there :p Sorry but no fishing for fifty years seems a way more likely reason to the supposed huge size of catfish than radiations ^^
Alligator gar are one of my favorite animals. They’re so cool. They’re just these massive peaceful monstrous-looking cuties. I feel similarly about alligator snapping turtles. Just give them a pet on the back, toss them a fish, and leave them alone.
reminds me of how when I was 6 I had a book called 'the deadly creatures dictionary' and it had things like microscopic worms and parasitoid wasps that only sting spiders
Should make a video that's just "top 10 dangerous youtubers", and then talk about how people like the lemon *could* swing an axe at you and thus are highly dangerous.
Mukellunge and Pike never “attack” people. There have been cases of bites according to River Monsters, but those were (I think) in self defense in shallow waters where big fish are less comfortable. They do have very sharp teeth, but as long as you don’t put your hand all the way in their mouth when unhooking them, you’re fine. Not dangerous, and I will stand up for them because Esocidae are my favorite fishes!
The penis fish story is true. The “river monster” guy talked with the man, and they even went to the place where the fish is stored (I’m not sure what place it was). It happened, but I did not see any other story about it happening. The guy apparently was at the wrong place, at the wrong time, and the fish did a big mistake.
people don't go into Chernobyl to fish because the government doesn't let them = environment recovers, more food for predators = wels catfish gets bigger not because they are mutants or whatever
So nice to see someone who appreciates gar fish! I actually got upset on a family fishing trip and my guardian caught a gar. Her: Ew! I caught something awful! What is that thing?! Ew! Get it off the line! Me: Aw! It's a little Florida gar, they get up to three feet long... Her: But I don't want a gar! Still don't know how we caught a gar fishing for strikers. (for trout/bass bait the next day)
12:19 right, my teacher was saying that they do grow larger bc of that and everyone was so shocked, i tried telling him its not true but ofc he didnt listen
FUN SAWFISH FACT! In the aztec festival in honor of the goddess Huixtocihuatl, her human avatar would be sacrificed using the blade of a sawfish’s snout, before her heart was removed by use of an obsidian blade, of course.
I always thought barracuda must be super scary cus of stories about my grandad being chased by them off the coast of Africa (?) in WW2. He was terrified of water by the time he left the RMN. The fact that they can't really even hurt you makes that a lot funnier 😂
The penis fish has only ever been reported to do that ONCE without any credible evidence. Also, it's actually been recorded WITH EVIDENCE to swim up the vaginal tract instead. So it should be the vagina fish!
Me and my 1 year old son fed sting rays, from the palms of our hands, at the St. Louis Zoo. They have fun little sucker mouths that feel strange as they nibble the food away.
About the odds of a stingray killing Steve Irwin, it actually doesn’t seem too unlikely since he was constantly around animals more so than most people. If you work with, study, or handle animals, your gonna be at a higher risk of injury or death from animal attacks even if the animal isn’t particularly dangerous.
literally i once watched a documentary about like, massive medical emergencies and one of them was a woman who was impaled by a barracuda while she was on her boat. SHE LIVED.
My mother pushed me off a platform when i was sitting at the maldives and said i saw a stingray (i was 7) and so she thought to push me off into the water without any warning and me wearing my normal clothes and then i was absolutely terrified cause i was told by her that they are extremely dangerous (i know now they arent) and she found it funny and was laughing as i was splashing and screaming about the stingray, then mu daddy pulled me out and wasnt happy with her and she was grumpy saying he ruined it and was still kinda laughing though and i was very unhappy for the rest of the holiday
Gawr are only really dangerous if you serve your ankles in fishsauce on a silver platter, but even then you'd probably have enough time to just pick it up and throw it some distance
"The Goonch" Ha, what a dumb name! "-is a catfish that is large enough to swallow people whole, and has actually killed some on record." *Actively fucking shiver.*
Can I just say it's fucking insane how Mother Nature came up with a SAWFISH? It's the same deal with the helicoprion. Like holy hell, these FISH who have been here for MILLIONS OF YEARS look like they've been fused with manmade tools. It's so lit
when they show that clip of stingrays with people in the background the video is actually called "Swimming With Stingrays In The Cayman Islands (60p)" where it shows people practically hugging stingrays.
I think it would be quite sick to see and actual tierlist of the truly most dangerous fish to humans, i know the top spot would have at most like 50 kills a year because is venemous and people eat it by error, but it would still be cool to hear the whole story about goonchs and others
I like your thinking! Just one thing, venomous is when something injects you and kills you; poisonous is when you ingest it (eat or drink) and it kills you
Funny how these lists never include the Oceanic Whitetip shark, the species which may have killed more humans in 4 days than the Great White has in the last 200 years.
They are really aggressive because the lack of food in the open ocean forces them to be highly opportunistic. Outside of shipwrecks we rarely come in contact with them though, so people will never view them in the light as other “dangerous” sharks.
God the stingray slander is especially fucked up because literally with his dying breaths Steve Irwin pleaded with the world not to demonize stingrays just because he was unlucky enough to be killed by one. By implying stingrays are dangerous monsters, you are straight up just shitting on the legacy and dying wish of one of the most incredible conservationists and science communicators who has ever lived. Thinking about it actually makes me want to cry. Steve Irwin was my fucking hero and spent his life doing so much good for the world. To go against his wishes like that is fucking vile.
I use to own a gar of some kind, I dont remember what kind he was but my dad caught him and brought him home and we had him for like 8 years. His name was Moby
I deal with muskellenge and northern pike almost day. The only way you can get hurt is if you willingly put your hand in it's mouth. Or near it's mouth. Most of us use gloves when putting our hands near the mouth anyways.
I'm scared of all sharks just because if they just try to 'nibble' or test you it can leave you with deep and horrible punctures not to mention the bacterial infection. But the number one shark I'm terrified of is the bull shark. It's just naturally aggressive and has the ability to swim in salt and fresh water. I'll stick to getting a swimming pool if I ever want to take a dip.
jellyfish may not taxonomically be a fish, but they do fit the first Merriam-Webster definition, 1a : an aquatic animal -usually used in combination starfish cuttlefish

The only bad thing about those red freshwater fish is if u have ur feet in the water and your like getting out they like to go for your heel and knip it and give you a little cut
There’s a bay in Australia which I sometimes go to and there’s a plethora of stingrays some bigger then a child and people just touch them all the time they are not dangerous

Is crabzilla
More than 70% OF OUR PLANET is water? What about the part below the water? lol
Water all the way down, just a big ol' ball of water.
At cherynoble at least one or two catfish were half the average size for their age
If I die from an animal I absolutely want the footage posted on UA-cam.
My mother pushed me off a platform when i was sitting at the maldives and said i saw a stingray (i was 7) and so she thought to push me off into the water without any warning and me wearing my normal clothes and then i was absolutely terrified cause i was told by her that they are extremely dangerous (i know now they arent) and she found it funny and was laughing as i was splashing and screaming about the stingray, then mu daddy pulled me out and wasnt happy with her and she was grumpy saying he ruined it and was still kinda laughing though and i was very unhappy for the rest of the holiday
"21 minutes long? Such a waste of lifetime"
*Immediately starts playing the video*
Saw fish can be dangerous and they have injured people in the past but it's really rare
There are only two dangerous things you can meet in the ocean: humans dumping trash and that one slimy long seaweed touching your leg
the urethra fish dude’s face was already funny but then the “OOF” from chat just took me out
Gawr are only really dangerous if you serve your ankles in fishsauce on a silver platter, but even then you'd probably have enough time to just pick it up and throw it some distance
most dangerous fish:
zucchini
Nah eggplant
Bro muskies are so fun to catch, only caught one but it was a blast
"The Goonch"
Ha, what a dumb name!
"-is a catfish that is large enough to swallow people whole, and has actually killed some on record."
*Actively fucking shiver.*
Dude, muskies are genuinely terrifying. Basically, don't dangle your feet in a great lake lol -- many many stitches might be required.
A gar bit my grandfather's ankle once he has a pretty cool scar I walk in the river with them all the time though never attacked me
Can I just say it's fucking insane how Mother Nature came up with a SAWFISH? It's the same deal with the helicoprion. Like holy hell, these FISH who have been here for MILLIONS OF YEARS look like they've been fused with manmade tools. It's so lit
the fish that was in the stock video for the Muskie was a PIKE
I slapped someone with a jellyfish once picked it up and just Swung it at my friend
7:48 was not expecting that
Jokes on you biologist, I do in fact consider every person to be incredibly dangerous, and therefore trust almost nobody.
when they show that clip of stingrays with people in the background the video is actually called "Swimming With Stingrays In The Cayman Islands (60p)" where it shows people practically hugging stingrays.
ive literally snorkeled in open sea with multiplr barracudas under me. yes they look scary but i doubt they’d attack out of nowhere
I think it would be quite sick to see and actual tierlist of the truly most dangerous fish to humans, i know the top spot would have at most like 50 kills a year because is venemous and people eat it by error, but it would still be cool to hear the whole story about goonchs and others
I like your thinking! Just one thing, venomous is when something injects you and kills you; poisonous is when you ingest it (eat or drink) and it kills you
Googled it apparently on 1 case ever of sawfish attacking someone without being provoked
13:25 if your bye dolphins forb lomg enough you will see them ..... passing the puffer
The guy who was with Steve Irwin when he died is now teachin Steve’s son Robert about handling venomous snakes and other animals
i LOVE petting stingrays at tha zoo lmfao
Barracuda farmers is something I need in my life.
6:57 i am on the floor in my backyard hysterically laughing at this fuck man oh my god
i have an image of stingrays going apeshit on someone for stepping on them in my head after watching this
i have a prince albert, baracuda;s scare the crap out of me
Funny how these lists never include the Oceanic Whitetip shark, the species which may have killed more humans in 4 days than the Great White has in the last 200 years.
Whitetips are like the vultures of the ocean, lots of stories about shipwrecked sailors being preyed upon by them
They are really aggressive because the lack of food in the open ocean forces them to be highly opportunistic. Outside of shipwrecks we rarely come in contact with them though, so people will never view them in the light as other “dangerous” sharks.
God the stingray slander is especially fucked up because literally with his dying breaths Steve Irwin pleaded with the world not to demonize stingrays just because he was unlucky enough to be killed by one. By implying stingrays are dangerous monsters, you are straight up just shitting on the legacy and dying wish of one of the most incredible conservationists and science communicators who has ever lived.
Thinking about it actually makes me want to cry. Steve Irwin was my fucking hero and spent his life doing so much good for the world. To go against his wishes like that is fucking vile.
I got bitten once by an alligator gar it stung a bit, i needed a bandaid but no permanent damage
I use to own a gar of some kind, I dont remember what kind he was but my dad caught him and brought him home and we had him for like 8 years. His name was Moby
I deal with muskellenge and northern pike almost day. The only way you can get hurt is if you willingly put your hand in it's mouth. Or near it's mouth. Most of us use gloves when putting our hands near the mouth anyways.
I'm scared of all sharks just because if they just try to 'nibble' or test you it can leave you with deep and horrible punctures not to mention the bacterial infection. But the number one shark I'm terrified of is the bull shark. It's just naturally aggressive and has the ability to swim in salt and fresh water. I'll stick to getting a swimming pool if I ever want to take a dip.
jellyfish may not taxonomically be a fish, but they do fit the first Merriam-Webster definition,
1a : an aquatic animal -usually used in combination
starfish
cuttlefish
Guys a marine biologist, maybe hold your tongue with this
@@fishyboopkins1336 hes using a scientific definition, but the video hes reacting to is for the layman and therefore would be using the layman’s definition, one being the first definition listed in a major dictionary
12:17 the show was river monsters featuring every ones favorite insane asylum's inmates Jerome Waders thankfully he did not jump into the water
They are meaning what it looks like it could possibly do
The only bad thing about those red freshwater fish is if u have ur feet in the water and your like getting out they like to go for your heel and knip it and give you a little cut
There’s a bay in Australia which I sometimes go to and there’s a plethora of stingrays some bigger then a child and people just touch them all the time they are not dangerous
