Michal Olender yeah joe would get one on, blow a load of dmt smoke in its face and weed smoke then begin the podcast with the croc sitting there opposite him like “ Look Joe, you need to understand....” 🤣🤣
There’s a story about a Croc that attacked a group of friends in Australia and it managed to get one of them. What’s truly disturbing about it is that one of the survivors said that not only did they see they’re friend in the crocs mouth, the croc just sat there for a few minutes and just stared right back at them. They said it felt like it was taunting them and telling them that were next before disappearing back into the water. Their friends body was never recovered btw
I remember that story The croc just set up underneath them for hours while they were clinging to dear life in a tree all night. One of them even fell in the water at some point when the croc wasn’t there but it came back and just waited all night they only escaped because rescuers found their car and came looking
@@bushratbeachbum just do a search for “Mr. Ballen” , that’s the name of the UA-cam channel and I think the video is titled “ this is why you don’t go swimming in Australia” or something like that.
Dude fuck yeah he would have been an excellent guest and it was a little known fact Steve was actually a big fan of MMA and trained regularly in it so it could have been a double whammy
@@darthstarkiller6605 of course he was. You think steve never had to bottle someone on the head.. or got into a bar fight? He had a head like a half sucked mango!
My grandfather fought in Burma and when he got Alzheimer’s he used to tell me the same story over and over again about how he watched the crocodiles eat the Japanese soldiers, some crazy shit.
I remember hearing a story about a tiger killing alot of people in this village, all because it realised how defenceless human beings are. How weak we actually are
Nina Tote They probably did but they’re in close quarters walking through swamps. they didn’t stand a chance against how big those Nile crocs are and how many are probably in that swamp. You can’t expect a gun to solve everything
@Nina Tote even still Crocs are not easy to kill, once they have you It's hard to fight back. I promise Crocs eat bullets, and they don't stop fighting.
Was actually quite a bit worse than Forrest said, there’s accounts of British soldiers who surrounded the swamp hearing the screams and all sorts like that
@Nina Tote because shooting a croc or gator actually isnt that easy, they have a coin size kill spot for instant death. The rest of the time they will keep tearing you up. A high calibre bullet would shatter the skull, but then you'd be peppered with shrapnel of the skull.
There is a guy in northern Australia who was stalked by a croc over number of weeks. He would be fishing and or fetching fresh water and he could see this giant croc stalking him and studying his pattern. So he called a mate to asking him to bring a gun and when his mate turned up, he found the guy missing, beer can half empty, pot on the stove, fishing line where still out but no where to be seen. Eventually they declared him dead and likely to be taken by the croc.
I remember watching a video of a Morelet's crocodile somewhere in Central America (or maybe Mexico) that had the corpse of a woman in it's mouth. The woman was homeless and was washing clothes in a lake where she ended up either falling in, drowning and then scavenged by the croc or just directly ambushed and killed by it. The eerie part was that as the croc dived beneath the surface with the woman in it's jaws the croc just vanished when it went just a couple of feet underwater and you could only track it by the bright clothes the woman wore. Not a lot of people realise how easy it is for a massive animal like crocodilians can hide themselves in unassuming places, and this croc was like 10 - 13 feet long
Indeed, that happened in a lagoon called "Laguna del Carpintero" that is located in the middle of the city of Tampico, Tamaulipas in Mexico. It is known that there are around 300 morelet's crocodiles in that lagoon and several people and pets from the surrounding area have been eaten for ignoring warnings. Steve Irwin made a documentary where he visited this place and mentioned... "this lagoon is a model for the rest of the world of how human beings can live in close harmony with large wild animals".
the episodes featuring Forrest always tend to be some of my favorites. such fascinating stories, and seems like such a cool dude. id love to have a drink with him
An Expat got eaten by a croc in Queensland. I think they found his watch. A local was on the radio and as a typical straight up Aussie said' Yeah we got a deal you don't go near them, they don't eat ya'. This guy had been going to the same spot every day for weeks. Pattern hunters for sure.
I’ve never been to Australia but I believe more creatures can kill you there than any place on earth from the time you get up in the morning to put on your shoes, walk out your door down the grassy sidewalk, to stroll by the riverbank, until you take a dip in the ocean at the beach. You need a training course to prepare to visit.
@@JohnMegaton2062 If you stay away from the water and the poisonous snakes, not really. It's actually not even a top 5 deadliest continent as far as large terrestrial wildlife goes. In fact it pretty much has by far the smallest wild animals out of any continent.
5:27 great point. Most animals, even those that occasionally kill people, aren’t actively hunting us. Crocodiles absolutely are, and that’s freaking insane.
Crocs hunt anything near the waters edge that's big enough to chomp on. That's just what they do. To suggest they are consciously deciding to hunt humans gives them too much credit, they aren't that smart.
Those who doubt the amount of crocodiles on Ramree Island aren’t realizing how many of these saltwater crocodiles hunted in the surrounding oceans. Once they get big enough, they go into the ocean to hunt. If there were 4,000 Japanese soldiers in the mangrove swamps, the blood, noises, and struggling would have brought these large crocodiles back from the sea to investigate. That’s how that small island could have so many crocodiles at once. Crocodiles routinely swim between these island chains hunting for prey.
The Pacific Theater of WW2 has to be one of the most interesting periods in history, Shipwrecked Americans eaten by sharks, Japanese soldiers slaughtered by crocs, Cargo Cults, and then, to finish it all off, the first Atomic Bomb.

I would love to hear Joe talk about The Ghost and The Darkness. They're not crocs but they were a pair of lions that ate a bunch of people in very similar fashion to how they're describing the crocodiles
Sadly, this story isn't true, lol. For one thing, he erroneous said that the story took place in World War 1, but the only account from it is from the Battle of Ramree Island, which took place towards the tail end of World War 2 around January of 1945. Japanese troops were retreating along the coast of Burma - modern day Myanmar - from the advancing Commonwealth troops (largely composed of Indian and East African troops). These troops made amphibious landings on the island, since it was a major defense point along the coast. Although it is claimed that many Japanese troops were killed by the saltwater crocs, most (roughly 500 Japanese) were in fact killed while in combat with the West Africans and Indians. Most of the remaining troops were evacuated into the mainland sometime during mid-February. Modern day zoologists and historians have largely dismissed the story as an exaggerated tall tale.
I'll never forget Steve Irwin when he was first starting out getting known and filming his conservation work with crocs, while capturing a croc in the wild ( jumping on its back then the rest of his crew piling on, then taping its jaws closed and roping it ) they thought they had subdued it as they had secured it with the ropes but it somehow snatched Steves arm in its jaws and immediately spun its body into the " Death Roll ". It happened so quickly but Steve instead of trying to free his arm rolled and flipped his body somersaulting in the same direction the croc was rolling all the while with Steves arm in its mouth, until his team could pile onto the croc again to stop its movement. Steve ended up with a broken arm but most of us would've lost our arm, he certainly was something to watch.
I was on a tour in Europe when Irwin died and there were some Australians on the tour. People of course said they were sorry about it, being nice. The Ausies didn't like him because they said he made them all look backwards to the world. Kind of sad and simple minded. Like everybody thinks Americans wear cowboy hats and ride horses lol.
Crocodiles are insane. I got stalked by a 4 or 5m Crocodile up in far north queensland. Throwing cast a net for bait Crocodile swa by then unturned and went under our tinny. We went down into the mangroves a fair distance away and guess who popped back up. They stalk and hunt. I'll never forgot that day.

I’ve been listening to Joe now for about a month. I love his interest in bringing in guests who discuss science, history, and tech. This is so much better than pop culture to me. I still have a hard time wrapping my head around the changes that occur over time….millions and billions etc etc. I mean I have a hard time remembering what I had for breakfast yesterday morning.

@@adamantiumlife9875 Nope wrong, just the accent (kinda thought I said that). People from New Zealand seem to use mostly the same language set, and I don't mind their accents. Just personal preference, we all have them
Everyone has an opinion an accent relates to a specific dialect. Such as there’s American English but people from New York have their own accent. There’s British English but those that live towards the north have their own accent. Same with Australian English... if you don’t like a specific dialect within, alright, but you just don’t like the Australians English at all, as you’ve stated, you prefer New Zealand dialect of that English. And even if you say American, British, Australian and New Zealand have their own dialect of the English language, you STILL don’t like the Australians English as a whole.
Reminds me of the Far Side comic with two crocs basking on the shore with full bellies and one saying "That was wonderful, no horns, no hooves, just soft and pink."
I’ll never forget a video I saw of a saltwater crocodile in Australia that made me truly appreciate what kind of creature crocodiles are. This thing was 15-20 ft long and was able to conceal itself perfectly in water no deeper than 3-4 feet. Even sitting there studying the water you could not tell there was a giant, sitting, waiting only a couple yards away from shore ready to attack whatever unfortunate creature that stops in that spot just a little too long. They definitely are a creature nature has seem to perfected for life on our planet.
It's a fictional story but it's reminds me of the crocodile from Peter Pan that ate Captain Hook's hand and how once the croc got a taste of Hook it liked it so much that it followed him around everywhere ever since hoping to get another taste and gobble him up.
It's very true, crocodiles are much smarter than people think. I remember watching this Australian couple on TV that survived a croc attack while camping, it had waited outside their camp site for days just learning their sleeping patterns so it could wait when they're asleep for an easy meal. The husband lost a leg to it.
The scariest part about crocodiles is just how perfected yet simplistic their hunting strategy is. Everything needs water so it just waits in the water and when something leans down to drink it bites it’s fucking head of with the strongest jaws on the planet. They’re able to go a year without food so when they set their eyes on something they are tactical and precise.They’re the ultimate ambush predator.
@@WittyOriginalUsername Mostly night hunters ??? Not here they're not they will eat you anytime of day or night , They are a opportunist hunter meaning they take any opportunities for easy meals . Crocs here have been known to stalk their victims over days and in some cases stalk them for over a week .
I always forget how much I love that movie till I stumble across it. Saw it in theaters as a kid and it was one of those flicks that was a real experiance seeing it on the big screen.
The story about the crocs eating tons of Japanese soldiers reminds me of that one scene in Jaws where Robert Shaw talks about a WWII boat sinking and the survivors are just left floating in the ocean and then suddenly sharks start feeding on a bunch of them.
My step dad was camping in North Queensland. He went to the shower block, had his shower, opened the shower door and a croc was there waiting for him. He had to climb the door then up onto the roof 🤣
Crocs learn patterns so if you live near water that has crocs you should change locations constantly as in never go to the same spot twice or two days in a row, they are extremely patient hunters, they will watch your daily pattern and learn it like clock work and wait for the moment your least on guard to strike Had a mate on a fishing trip in the NT he’d get up late every night to take a piss and he’d always go to the back of the boat (just habit I guess) but this one night for some reason he decided to shine a spot light on the water before going, and sure as anything there was a croc just waiting in the water, it had actually watched him for however long learned his pattern and sat and waited for him to go to the back of the boat for his nightly ritual, luckily his spidey scenes tingled and he saw the thing before going to the toilet, they are crazy smart animals
Or maybe since this was the first time the guy shined thenwater the croc had been there every night and he didn’t know it. The croc had been getting pissed on every night and didnt care
That's why you don't go in little boats around Crocs you go in a big boat and even better yet a big boat with a really tall overhang and you could piss off that thing if you wanted it's not going to jump 20 ft in the air to get you it doesn't like to work that hard you're safe as long as you're not close to the damn water
Been stalked by crocs while fishing at the mouth of the Ord River where it flows into the Cambridge Gulf in the East Kimberley region of north Western Australia. Cunning and stealthy and you do need to keep your mind on the game.....one tried to bulldoze me into the river by crashing through mangroves onto a small beach area I had been fishing on. I had move up the bank out of the strike zone and watched the action. I moved to another place to carry on fishing after that.....

David Taylor alligators are more fierce than crocs? Okay buddy. Alligators only attack when you’re annoying them and they just want to be left alone. Come down to Australia and tell me gators are worse than crocs.
@David Taylor alligators averages 3-4meters long and up to 250kg, saltwater crocs are 5m+ and can weigh up to a 900kg+, and due to their distribution in remote areas, it is common for them to go over 6 meters.
4:35 Joe: "It was probably one of the crocodiles that ate the japanese during the massacre" Forrest: "Yep heh heh" *licks lips* Forrest Gallante is one of the reptillians Alex Jones warned us about
Read a story where locals living next to a river who liked a daily jog near the river bank were advised to alternate their pattern i.e. time and direction on a daily basis as the crocs were watching, and taking in their movements. It had been known some of the crocs had ambushed the runners if they had kept to a regular pattern.
Crocks have a 4 valve heart witch allows them to stop the blood flow to a limb that has been ripped off and prevents them from bleeding out ..... absolutely amazing dinosaur
Robert Welch He doesn’t need evidence that it is false. I claim crocodiles can do math problems and create paintings. You say it’s not true? Prove it isn’t true. The person making the assertion is the one who has the burden of proof.
@@Rokaize I wouldn't consider your last statement true but I'm really just here to shit on a guy that seemed a little too upset about some guy's innocent assertion of certain crocs recognizing firearms as a threat
Some predatory land mammals learn to fear humans through experience. Some were shot and wounded, others witnessed a killing second-hand. But not crocs and alligators.
Warm blooded animals can think and adapt/learn how to act around other predators or prey. Cold blooded can’t feel any emotions and the honestly only think about their next meal. I’ve also seen videos where they protect their young, through instinct I suppose.
“Are you familiar with the ramree massacre?” “No.” “You’re gonna love this.” *proceeds to explain one of the most horrific tragedies in human animal encounters.*
The crocs probably still massacred less people than the Japanese did civilians that day. I love our Post-WW2 Japanese friends, but their invasion and occupation of Asia was brutal against the civilian populations.
@@Chooopy "But their invasion and occupation of Asia was brutal against the civilian population." Yeah, that seems a common trend among nations. I would provide a list of nations that decimated civilian populations, but it would be easier to just say the history of most nations is written in blood.

Crocs don’t discriminate, if they can kill it they will eat it.

You have that backwards. Crocs don't wait until their prey is dead to eat. So if they can eat it, then they kill it.

I was on a tour in Europe when Irwin died and there were some Australians on the tour. People of course said they were sorry about it, being nice. The Ausies didn't like him because they said he made them all look backwards to the world. Kind of sad and simple minded. Like everybody thinks Americans wear cowboy hats and ride horses lol.

Crocodiles are insane. I got stalked by a 4 or 5m Crocodile up in far north queensland. Throwing cast a net for bait Crocodile swa by then unturned and went under our tinny. We went down into the mangroves a fair distance away and guess who popped back up. They stalk and hunt. I'll never forgot that day.

I’ve been listening to Joe now for about a month. I love his interest in bringing in guests who discuss science, history, and tech. This is so much better than pop culture to me. I still have a hard time wrapping my head around the changes that occur over time….millions and billions etc etc. I mean I have a hard time remembering what I had for breakfast yesterday morning. I am skeptical of the age of the earth and the universe they discuss, but I do find the topics intriguing!
Sadly, this story isn't true, lol. For one thing, he erroneous said that the story took place in World War 1, but the only account from it is from the Battle of Ramree Island, which took place towards the tail end of World War 2 around April of 1945.
Japanese troops were retreating along the coast of Burma - modern day Myanmar - from the advancing Commonwealth troops (largely composed of Indian and West African troops). These troops made amphibious landings on the island, since it was a major defense point along the coast.
Although it is claimed that many Japanese troops were killed by the saltwater crocs, most were in fact killed while in combat with the West Africans and Indians. Modern day zoologists and historians have largely dismissed the story as an exaggerated tall tale.
I wish that Steve Irwin were alive, you know Joe would have him on frequently.
That would be the best podcast in the world. Fuck that stingray.
Steve Irwin is exhausting to watch, but he knows his stuff. But of an annoying accent be he had bucket loads of animal empathy!
Everyone has an opinion Annoying? Just sounds like you don’t like Australian English lol
@@adamantiumlife9875 Nope wrong, just the accent (kinda thought I said that).
People from New Zealand seem to use mostly the same language set, and I don't mind their accents. Just personal preference, we all have them
Everyone has an opinion an accent relates to a specific dialect. Such as there’s American English but people from New York have their own accent. There’s British English but those that live towards the north have their own accent. Same with Australian English... if you don’t like a specific dialect within, alright, but you just don’t like the Australians English at all, as you’ve stated, you prefer New Zealand dialect of that English. And even if you say American, British, Australian and New Zealand have their own dialect of the English language, you STILL don’t like the Australians English as a whole.

Cutting edge humor
Reminds me of the Far Side comic with two crocs basking on the shore with full bellies and one saying "That was wonderful, no horns, no hooves, just soft and pink."
"Like muscles just growing on the beach, pluck em" so accurate it's scary..
I’ll never forget a video I saw of a saltwater crocodile in Australia that made me truly appreciate what kind of creature crocodiles are. This thing was 15-20 ft long and was able to conceal itself perfectly in water no deeper than 3-4 feet. Even sitting there studying the water you could not tell there was a giant, sitting, waiting only a couple yards away from shore ready to attack whatever unfortunate creature that stops in that spot just a little too long. They definitely are a creature nature has seem to perfected for life on our planet.

Out in the bush Aboriginal people throw sticks in first to see where the crocodiles are, they react instantly.
Become of the reptilians perhaps 🤔 😆😆😆
They will live and die and go extinct on this planet and we will evolve into the stars passed this planet!
Moral of the story become a basic ass b**** and you can survive hundreds of years.
Lion smacking his lips while eating a human:
“Not bad! Real easy to catch!”
Boy, I HOLLERED!
It's a fictional story but it's reminds me of the crocodile from Peter Pan that ate Captain Hook's hand and how once the croc got a taste of Hook it liked it so much that it followed him around everywhere ever since hoping to get another taste and gobble him up.

It's very true, crocodiles are much smarter than people think. I remember watching this Australian couple on TV that survived a croc attack while camping, it had waited outside their camp site for days just learning their sleeping patterns so it could wait when they're asleep for an easy meal. The husband lost a leg to it.
Let me guess, they slept at night?
@@SanxBile Lmao
The scariest part about crocodiles is just how perfected yet simplistic their hunting strategy is. Everything needs water so it just waits in the water and when something leans down to drink it bites it’s fucking head of with the strongest jaws on the planet. They’re able to go a year without food so when they set their eyes on something they are tactical and precise.They’re the ultimate ambush predator.
Crocodiles are mostly night hunters, so this makes sense. It wasn’t “learning their sleeping patterns”, it just waited for a good moment 🤣🤣🤣
@@WittyOriginalUsername Mostly night hunters ???
Not here they're not they will eat you anytime of day or night , They are a opportunist hunter meaning they take any opportunities for easy meals . Crocs here have been known to stalk their victims over days and in some cases stalk them for over a week .

The ghost and the darkness is an incredible movie
I loved that movie
I’ve never seen it I’m have to watch it
Love the movie and the Jerry Goldsmith soundtrack. The Edge is also a great animal attack movie.
I saw that movie when I was 16, in the theatre, after smoking my first blunt.
It was an experience I'll never forget. (I'm 37 now)
I always forget how much I love that movie till I stumble across it. Saw it in theaters as a kid and it was one of those flicks that was a real experiance seeing it on the big screen.
The story about the crocs eating tons of Japanese soldiers reminds me of that one scene in Jaws where Robert Shaw talks about a WWII boat sinking and the survivors are just left floating in the ocean and then suddenly sharks start feeding on a bunch of them.
Yeah that’s also a true story the indiapolis, that story is the same as this but with sharks
My step dad was camping in North Queensland. He went to the shower block, had his shower, opened the shower door and a croc was there waiting for him. He had to climb the door then up onto the roof 🤣

Crocs learn patterns so if you live near water that has crocs you should change locations constantly as in never go to the same spot twice or two days in a row, they are extremely patient hunters, they will watch your daily pattern and learn it like clock work and wait for the moment your least on guard to strike
Had a mate on a fishing trip in the NT he’d get up late every night to take a piss and he’d always go to the back of the boat (just habit I guess) but this one night for some reason he decided to shine a spot light on the water before going, and sure as anything there was a croc just waiting in the water, it had actually watched him for however long learned his pattern and sat and waited for him to go to the back of the boat for his nightly ritual, luckily his spidey scenes tingled and he saw the thing before going to the toilet, they are crazy smart animals
@Steven Stolar Crocs can hurl themselves out of the water with ease.
ua-cam.com/video/cL0mS5chwYY/v-deo.html
Or maybe since this was the first time the guy shined thenwater the croc had been there every night and he didn’t know it. The croc had been getting pissed on every night and didnt care
That's why you don't go in little boats around Crocs you go in a big boat and even better yet a big boat with a really tall overhang and you could piss off that thing if you wanted it's not going to jump 20 ft in the air to get you it doesn't like to work that hard you're safe as long as you're not close to the damn water
Definitely could have grabbed him from a lowered edged boat. Glad he lived to tell the tale

Been stalked by crocs while fishing at the mouth of the Ord River where it flows into the Cambridge Gulf in the East Kimberley region of north Western Australia. Cunning and stealthy and you do need to keep your mind on the game.....one tried to bulldoze me into the river by crashing through mangroves onto a small beach area I had been fishing on. I had move up the bank out of the strike zone and watched the action. I moved to another place to carry on fishing after that.....

@David Taylor alligators averages 3-4meters long and up to 250kg, saltwater crocs are 5m+ and can weigh up to a 900kg+, and due to their distribution in remote areas, it is common for them to go over 6 meters.

Read a story where locals living next to a river who liked a daily jog near the river bank were advised to alternate their pattern i.e. time and direction on a daily basis as the crocs were watching, and taking in their movements. It had been known some of the crocs had ambushed the runners if they had kept to a regular pattern.
Crocks have a 4 valve heart witch allows them to stop the blood flow to a limb that has been ripped off and prevents them from bleeding out ..... absolutely amazing dinosaur
the coolest thing to me is that crocs in Australia that were around when croc-shooting was common recognise and avoid guns

Thats because Crocs and alligators are souless and dead inside. They don't feel shit. Especially not fear.
Zachary Roach guess you haven’t seen that guy “dance” with his pet crocodile
Warm blooded animals can think and adapt/learn how to act around other predators or prey. Cold blooded can’t feel any emotions and the honestly only think about their next meal. I’ve also seen videos where they protect their young, through instinct I suppose.

It’s fascinating! We are talking about hundreds of people being decimated by savage life. As a dominant specie this isn’t a normal case.
