"There are more tigers in the United States than the rest of the world." That is both horrifying and depressing.
It's true. At this point we are keeping them safe and alive in zoos. It's really the only way to keep them from going extinct due to humans over hunting them for herbal medicines and such.
technically, there are more tigers in TEXAS than the rest of the world
Nah thats fascinating, white/black/latino/native people are more dangerous
@@thewen Florida man disagrees. He pops those out like ammo on a machine gun. Along with his side arm, the gater gat.
And a good few of them are owned…by Carole *Fuckin’* Baskin!
"The monsters weren't the sharks."
As someone who has lost loved ones to suicide, this is true.
Wow. Sorry for you losses.🙏

No truer words every spoken. That was fucked.
I'm very sorry. I hope things are going better for you
We should all Thank God that Eagles and hawk aren't bigger. Can you imagine the equivalent of a flying tiger?
Describing sloth bears as having "all the tools of a predator but the mindset of prey" alone managed to simply yet succinctly put into words why they're a terrifying animal far more effectively than I could in the span of an entire paragraph.
I’d honestly rather run into a grizzly bear, rather than a sloth bear.

What’s more terrifying of Gustav’s story is that researchers observing him witness many times Female Crocodiles easily submitting to him the moment he rolls up. Which means he may very well have generations of offsprings.

What the Navy did to one of their own, throwing Capt. McVay under the bus like that, was absolutely SHAMEFUL. Disgusting.
Hey welcome to the world :D
Unfortunately all branches do i mean look at the government who runs these agencies
The fact that the enemy that litteraly clapped his ship even tried to justify McVays actions really says something
@@highcountrydelatite Where was this??
The same thing happened in 2020. The captain of the USS Theodore Roosevelt reached out for help because half his ship got infected with the virus and didn't want his sailors to suffer. Because his request went public, the Navy removed him from the ship for pretty much embarrassing the Navy in front of the whole world
The part about the navy captain who took his life holding onto a toy sailor he treasured as a kid is legitimately one of the saddest things I've heard. 🥺
I started crying
Yes. And another aspect of this tragedy was how forgotten it was. It is entirely possible that without the movie Jaws, his name might not have been cleared. Robert Shaw's portrayal of Quint left us with the idea that the sharks were the only reason men died, but it was memorable. I think entire generations would have forgotten this completely without that film (mine included).
Without that portrayal as reminder, would enough people have heard of it to make the Navy reconsider?
If you want to hear more abt the story, Wendigoon made a great video on the US Indianapolis
If it makes you feel better had he not been court martialed he would have continued serving in the navy that kept all of Asia working in slave/sweat shops and ensured that the neither rose up nor traded the goods they made without paying a cut.
Oh and the people who unfairly Court martialed him continued to be influential and highly regarded for the rest of their lives.
@@41052 😂
Yo...the story about Capt. McVay made tears well up in my eyes. The way, he was blamed, vilified, terrorized which ultimately led up to him taking his own life for something he didn't cause or couldn't fix is just wild...smh...I hate to he didn't get to experience his redemption. RIP Capt. I pray you found it🙏🏾
So true the true monsters were not the sharks. They looked like the Capt. the sharks were just being sharks
if you cried about that you're not ready to life in this world
@@Rush47. I've been lifeing, whatever that is for 44 years or do you mean LIVING? Be quiet...instead of trying to check me you should have been checking the autocorrect.

Ignore the other comment.
You're right, it is very sad and quite honestly disgraceful. Nobody deserves what happened to him, nevermind someone who was a military leader who tried to help his crew and went through the hell of the ocean that he did.
@@kyleguajardo lmfao how do you get through the day when you're constantly crying and sobbing about life HAHAHA Weak weirdo
The fact that a group of people who were his enemies were like "there is NOTHING he could have done" really says something about the unfairness of the situation.
If you make a part 2 of animal serial killers, add the story of the Japanese brown bear ' kesagake' that was 12ft tall who hunted and killed 7 people but the number was allegedly 12 in total. The story of the last seven victims is pretty gruesome and what the villagers / Japanese govt. did to try and stop him is pretty interesting
i was expecting that to show up, maybe in the next one
Let's not forget the Leopard of Panar and the Njombe Lions.
Sankabetsu bear?
Oh, is this the bear that inspired Yoshihiro Takahashi to write Ginga Nagereboshi Gin?

“Generational trauma means you have an animal with the tools of a predator, but the mindset of prey.”
A chillingly accurate description of most large primates, in fact.
Bears are not primates.
Primates are not predators by nature. Most truly powerful animals are peaceful creatures unprovoked
@@kissit012 Chimps, bonobos, and humans are predators by nature, and tarsiers are fully carnivorous. Predators aren't inherently less peaceful than non-predators, either. Many herbivores are plenty willing to kill, and pretty much any animal will eat meat opportunistically.
@kissit012
Primates may be more opportunistic than outright predatory, but no one can deny that most of them have the tools of a predator due to their intelligence alone.
And then we have a hairless ape that has physically evolved into a prey, but has the mindset of a predator (yes I'm talking about humans)

You might wanna use plural for the penultimate story because there's no way only one infected hyena harmed so many people.
If I remember correctly they made a movie about the Lions in Tsavo I know who was in in I just forget the name of it.
I remember hearing the story about Gustave , from what I remember it became a man eater cause of fights or wars that happened in Africa between 2 groups , whenever people got killed the dead bodies would get tossed into the river were the Crocs are and that's how the croc known as Gustave developed a taste for human flesh , that's when he started going after live people to eat
I think you're referring to the Rwandan genocide. Not sure if Gustave was living in Rwanda at that time, but crocs can travel far and maybe he moved after the genocide ended. Interesting theory. Also terrifying, because it implies that he would not have been the only one eating the bodies. 😨😱
@@audreydimmel6674i think there were other fights that happened way before the Rwandan genocide that happened , so I think he's been eating people way before that ......who knows maybe he's not the only biggest croc around over there , Gustave def was more in a sense popular cause they could recognize him by the scars that he has and supposedly he killed and ate 200 to 300 hundred people including the already dead people that he ate , so it might be way more people than estimated
@@audreydimmel6674 Maybe Gustave didn't just have NordVPN. But also a travel visa. He is nothing if not resourceful.
You know it’s serious when a Casual Geographic video suddenly becomes just like a Mr Nightmare one.

YOOOOOOOOOOOOO IKR
My god I was thinking the same thank god you mentioned this
Shit gets real when Casual Geo puts on the ominous music and doesn't crack jokes.
Especially when he talks normal and doesn’t use slang
As soon as I heard "Took is own life holding a sailor figure from childhood" just absolutely destroyed me... honestly felt a genuine hit to my gut.
Fffuuhhh, I know right? I will probably never forget that line, poor guy. I choked up.
That part also hit hard. I hope he found peace he deserves it.
Humans are the cruelest species. I've known this most of my life.
You ever hear something like that and youre whole body just feels like every nerve has come alive and your skin is buzzing uncomftably? Yeah, when he said that part it was like my stomach dropped and i had that feeling. I mean the enemy captain even said he couldnt have done anything. And those families sending hate mail and death threats? They suck too
@@dreadcthulhu5 Yes and you are one of them.
you should've mentioned the sankebetsu brown bear incident! during the period of time where hokkaido in japan was being explored and settled, there was one bear that absolutely terrorized one of the villages that cropped up. it kept coming back for five days, killed seven people, and it took several hunters and gunshot wounds to take it down.
Out of all these stories, the Tsavo Maneaters are by far one of my favorites, and the film based around the story amplifies this statement. Because imagine being a worker working on this railroad before your back end meets a lion's jaws, that would be one of the most terrifying things to see before you end up getting past tensed.
The Man-Eater has a bigger story. The Royal Army attempted to hunt it down by using a broad sweep consisting of more than 400 men. Somehow the tiger managed to evade them and even looped behind their lines. A dissection after it was killed showed some unusual features. Several parts of its brain that were linked to pattern development and reasoning were much more developed than normal meaning it knew what it was doing and was learning new attack methods. Additionally its teeth and claws were much more worn down than they should have been which would have limited its hunting options. Finally its stomach was larger than normal which would have accounted for why was so prolific.
Sounds like that big boi was a bit smarter than it's peers
@@KitsuneFyora and hungry

So that tiger is actually a abnormally tiger 🐅
None of this is true. I was there.
Was originally expecting CG's regular joking banter, but got hit with a video with the atmosphere of a creepypasta reading. And I loved it.
Major Mr. Ballen vibes.
Same
Ok
Creepypasta is childs play and literally nothing compared to stories of monsters like the ones in the video that actually existed and actually did kill us and sow fear into the minds of men.
Just that tigers roar in the video alone spooked the shit out of me more than any creepy pasta or horror movie ever could
@thedoomslayer5863 yeah how many ppl do creepypasta characters kill? 1? 3? 5?
Still doesn't have much on lions killing a hundred + men and a group of sharks taking out hundreds of US sailors
A single crocodile eating a hundred men? Wild. Dude is beyond any horror movie creation
Don't even get me started on the bears
For anyone interested, the story of the murderous lions was turned into a movie back in the 90s starring Val Kilmer and Michael Douglas called The Ghost and the Darkness. It's actually a really great movie.
I watched it when I was a child. In VHS tape. It was terrifying, imagine it happening in real life 😢
I remember seeing a wiki page about The Wolves of Ashta, a pack of six, man eating wolves that killed around 17 children in Ashta, Madhya Pradesh in 1985. There were two adult males, one adult female, one subadult female and two pups. From what I remember on the page, all the wolves except the pups were killed and they couldn’t find any evidence as to why they started hunting humans.
There was a Maneater here in Sweden in the 1800s called the Gysinge Wolf. It was a wolf that was raised in captivity in a small remote village and when it grew too big they released it into the wild. Since the wolf had never learned to hunt, it eventually set it sights on the village children since they were considered easy prey...resulting in the death of around 12 children i think. In one instance a little girl had to hide inside a chickencoup while she watched her baby brother get devoured by the wolf. They eventually caught and killed the wolf after a few weeks but this wolf was one of the reasons that made Sweden pretty much eradicate the wolf population here. I might have gotten some details wrong but look it up if you want to know more. A truly horrendous tale!
sounds like people failed the animal and it came back to bite them no pun intended so the country ignorantly killed off a species because people screwed up sounds about right humans can't do nothing wrong
@@AD_Ministry Indeed, i dont blame the wolf at all. The whole story is just a tragic tale about what happens when you mess with wild things...
That’s… dumb. Not the wolf killing the children but the fact that an animal that HUMANS RAISED have been simply left into the wild with no idea how to hunt and because of that incident that could’ve been avoided if people were a tad bit smarter they decided that EVERY WOLF must be eradicated. We truly are our greatest enemy, feel bad for the kids and the wolves that died from human stupidity
It has an wikipedia page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_of_Gysinge
It is not clear if the wolf, captured as a pup in 1817, was released or escaped on its own four years later.
And as usual, it was from the hands of human influence to begin with.
Fun animal fact: Spiders have very large brains for their size, some spiders have brains that take up 80% of their body. Spider brains can also take on very interesting shapes, existing not only in the spiders head, but spilling into other body cavities and legs. These large brains are important for spiders for executing activities like web building or hunting.
there's a fact about one of my favourite creatures i didn't know about.
As interesting as this is, I don't think I'll ever not be terrified of them. During a camping trip when I was maybe 4 years old, I put my hand in my jacket pocket. Something felt weird so I pulled my hand back out to look. There was a big black b@stard clamped onto my thumb. I screamed and shook it off. I can't be sure, but that might be why I'm so d@mn scared of them. I don't even like seeing the word typed out, which is why I avoided using it. Pathetic, I know lol
Still a cool fact, though. Oh, and just for the record, I don't kill them. I make my husband or one of my kids trap them and put them outside.
@@katie7748 I respect the hell out of you. I adore spiders but my best friend was arachnophobic. It took me years to convince him to not just kill them on sight and let me relocate them. I know how difficult it can be. Well done.
@@katie7748 I woke up on the top bunk of my bunk bed just as this big spider was repelling down from the ceiling, right over my face. I rolled out of the top bunk like it was a normal bed, not sure how I made it over the rail so easily and that right there is the moment I blame lmao.

It’s so weird to see you so serious, I’m honestly impressed at the fact you’re able to be so entertaining no matter the tone.
I remember learning about the USS Indianapolis in boot camp. I heard that when some sailors were picked up, they had been in the ocean so long, that when they were pulled up skin was coming off of the sailors.
could be
“Japanese submarine slammed two torpedoes into her side, Chief. We was comin’ back from the island of Tinian to Leyte. We’d just delivered the bomb. The Hiroshima bomb. Eleven hundred men went into the water. Vessel went down in 12 minutes.
Didn’t see the first shark for about a half-hour. Tiger. 13-footer. You know how you know that in the water, Chief? You can tell by lookin’ from the dorsal to the tail. What we didn’t know, was that our bomb mission was so secret, no distress signal had been sent. They didn’t even list us overdue for a week. Very first light, Chief, sharks come cruisin’ by, so we formed ourselves into tight groups. It was sorta like you see in the calendars, you know the infantry squares in the old calendars like the Battle of Waterloo and the idea was the shark come to the nearest man, that man he starts poundin’ and hollerin’ and sometimes that shark he go away… but sometimes he wouldn’t go away.
*Sometimes that shark looks right at ya. Right into your eyes. And the thing about a shark is he’s got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll’s eyes. When he comes at ya, he doesn’t even seem to be livin’… ’til he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then… ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin’. The ocean turns red, and despite all your poundin’ and your hollerin’ those sharks come in and… they rip you to pieces.*
You know by the end of that first dawn, lost a hundred men. I don’t know how many sharks there were, maybe a thousand. I do know how many men, they averaged six an hour. Thursday mornin’, Chief, I bumped into a friend of mine, Herbie Robinson from Cleveland. Baseball player. Boson’s mate. I thought he was asleep. I reached over to wake him up. He bobbed up, down in the water, he was like a kinda top. Upended. Well, he’d been bitten in half below the waist.
At noon on the fifth day, a Lockheed Ventura swung in low and he spotted us, a young pilot, lot younger than Mr. Hooper here, anyway he spotted us and a few hours later a big ol’ fat PBY come down and started to pick us up. You know that was the time I was most frightened. Waitin’ for my turn. I’ll never put on a lifejacket again. So, eleven hundred men went into the water. 316 men come out, the sharks took the rest, June the 29th, 1945.
Anyway, we delivered the bomb.”

I had a teacher in elementary school who served in the army during Vietnam. He told us a story about an encounter with a tiger. They were patrolling through the jungle when the bushes rattled and a tiger ran right between the middle of the platoon. Didn’t kill or injure anyone directly but one of the soldiers suffered a major mental breakdown. He had to be sent back state side and was discharged. The tiger wasn’t trying to attack so they first thought it was running due to an imminent ambush but nothing happened after so they must have accidentally got too close and spooked it themselves.
I think the general stress of jungle patrols in the Vietnam War (constant fear of VC ambush, landmines, losing friends) would have been piling up anyway. The tiger was probably just the straw that broke the camel's back.

That last black and white picture of the man with the tiger wasn't the man eater of champawat, it was the bachelor of powalgarh, (who wasn't a man eater but was really big, which is why people were trying to get him as a trophy.) They were both killed by the same person, Jim Corbett. There's an old book he wrote on all the different man eating tigers he hunted called 'Man-Eaters of Kumaon', its a super interesting read, definitely recommend it.

I read about the USS Indianapolis in 5th grade. The captain was blamed, but also argued that if he dodged one torpedo with zigzagging, he could easily hit another one. The people in charge needed someone to blame, and no one was better than the person in charge.
Never trust the government.

The worst part about the scapegoating of Captain McVay came out decades later: There were people much more directly responsible for the lack of response and enormous death toll who were known to the navy, but not punished in order to save face. From Wikipedia:
"The vessel's failure to arrive on schedule was known at once to Gibson, who failed to investigate the matter and made no immediate report of the fact to his superiors."
"Declassified records later showed that three stations received the signals but none acted upon the call. One commander was drunk, another had ordered his men not to disturb him, and a third thought it was a Japanese trap."
Hell, the Japanese captain who sank the ship - who **lost his family to the bomb that the ship delivered** - did more to help McVay than his own superiors.
The scapegoating of McVay may have had something to do with the fact that his father had reprimanded a junior officer who, by WWII, was in command of the entire US Navy.

The Captain of the USS Indianapolis is one of the stories from WW2 that hurts the most. When even an enemy commander says that there was nothing to be done, then blaming the captain was just petty foolishness.
I sincerely hope that every person who sent him hate mail and death threats got what they deserved for causing a good man to break.
The mission was so top secret that no-one realized the ship had gone missing. The survivors were found by coincidence by a scout plane.
The people sending him hate mails and death threats were most likely relatives of the dead sailors. They probably didn't know he was screwed over.

Hello sire
Those fuckers can snap the leg bone of a giraffe.
The first story with the lions. There is a very good movie that was originally a book about that story, called “The Ghost and The Darkness” those were the names given to those lions. They also found the lions den. And it was FULL of human bones and no other kinds. These lions had been eating nothing but humans for YEARS. The taxidermied lions are on display in a museum in Chicago if I remember correctly. And it is said that if you make eye contact with the lions, you will feel a strange, inexplicable fear. Even in death, we still know these lions are evil. The natives said that the lions were physical incarnations of Satan. And I don’t really disagree.
Saw it after watching the episode on history buffs.
I don’t understand why they let the lions kill off the people like that, those lions killed 135 innocent humans, and the lions got away with it. No one was able to kill off the lions.
@@Cordray. They didn't let them. They were trying to kill them the whole time, but the lions were simply so good at it, it took them that long to kill them. The movie is very good, and if you can find it, I would recommend you watch it.
@@OR56 I still can’t believe the lions were smarter than the humans though. May the people that lost their lives to those monsters may rest in peace.

One of my favorite moments in film ever is in Jaws where Quint recounts the USS Indianapolis, it's an utterly chilling moment of realism in that movie
“Japanese submarine slammed two torpedoes into her side, Chief. We was comin’ back from the island of Tinian to Leyte. We’d just delivered the bomb. The Hiroshima bomb. Eleven hundred men went into the water. Vessel went down in 12 minutes.
Didn’t see the first shark for about a half-hour. Tiger. 13-footer. You know how you know that in the water, Chief? You can tell by lookin’ from the dorsal to the tail. What we didn’t know, was that our bomb mission was so secret, no distress signal had been sent. They didn’t even list us overdue for a week. Very first light, Chief, sharks come cruisin’ by, so we formed ourselves into tight groups. It was sorta like you see in the calendars, you know the infantry squares in the old calendars like the Battle of Waterloo and the idea was the shark come to the nearest man, that man he starts poundin’ and hollerin’ and sometimes that shark he go away… but sometimes he wouldn’t go away.
*Sometimes that shark looks right at ya. Right into your eyes. And the thing about a shark is he’s got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll’s eyes. When he comes at ya, he doesn’t even seem to be livin’… ’til he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then… ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin’. The ocean turns red, and despite all your poundin’ and your hollerin’ those sharks come in and… they rip you to pieces.*
You know by the end of that first dawn, lost a hundred men. I don’t know how many sharks there were, maybe a thousand. I do know how many men, they averaged six an hour. Thursday mornin’, Chief, I bumped into a friend of mine, Herbie Robinson from Cleveland. Baseball player. Boson’s mate. I thought he was asleep. I reached over to wake him up. He bobbed up, down in the water, he was like a kinda top. Upended. Well, he’d been bitten in half below the waist.
At noon on the fifth day, a Lockheed Ventura swung in low and he spotted us, a young pilot, lot younger than Mr. Hooper here, anyway he spotted us and a few hours later a big ol’ fat PBY come down and started to pick us up. You know that was the time I was most frightened. Waitin’ for my turn. I’ll never put on a lifejacket again. So, eleven hundred men went into the water. 316 men come out, the sharks took the rest, June the 29th, 1945.
Anyway, we delivered the bomb.”
My late father in law had history with both the Indianapolis and Ramree tragedies .He lost several friends and relatives in the Indianapolis sinking and he knew a couple of survivors also .He was a former POW of the Japanese during his service .Both of these had a huge and traumatic effect on him for the rest of his life .There are legitimate and horrifying reasons for the expression war is hell .

Wow, spooky campfire stories AND factual and potentially educational stories about animals? It's like two of my favorite weirdly specific things rolled into one and it weirdly works.
The Tsavo brothers, or as they are nicknamed "the Ghost and the Darkness", may have been a terrifying story. But they were tame housecats, compared to the lions of Njombe. 😬
Story goes that in the Njombe District in southern Tanzania, humans exterminated the natural prey of lions to protect livestock from the rinderpest virus. So a pride of lions started preying on people instead. Unlike the Tsavo brothers, the Njombe pride attacked mostly during the day, instead using nights to move up to 20 miles to the next unsuspecting village; even worse, the mothers passed down to their cubs how to hunt and eat humans. In the end, the region was terrorized by three generations of lions that, between 1932 and 1947, killed up to 1,500 (!) people.
The Lions of Njombe sound terrifying, just wish I could read about it instead of a watching movie.
See, that's why you BEFRIEND the lions! Then they only eat a FEW of you! Mostly the weak ones you don't need anyway... >:3
😬
And then we went on a killing spree like we always do, and made lions an endangered species in the 2000s, they're now at "Vulnerable" but their population is still decreasing.
And this folks is why we should care about what we do to our environment, the lions don't eat you if they don't have to!
The fact the sub commander testified and was ignored is the saddest part. Indianapolis was alone when it was detected, as the delivery mission was so secretive. The enemy absolved McVay, but someone had to go under the bus, right? Sad tale for a good man.
My grandfather was a part of that crew of the ship that was sunken. He never talked about it with us kids. I only know stories from my dad from childhood.
Great vid, you make me interested in nature videos again. My grandparents used to watch a lot of the old PBS nature shows and I remembered watching with them. Brings back good memories.

My step-dads father was one of a few marines that were asked to switch ship assignments right before the USS Indianapolis took off and was sunk. I got to go to the premier of a documentary they released a while back, interviewing the remaining survivors to tell their story. It was harrowing. They said that there were so many sharks beneath them, that they could walk along their backs. The most horrific thing that's never really brought up was when the sailors were finally rescued, they were so waterlogged that their flesh would rip right off their arms when they were pulled into the ship.
In addition to dehydration, salt poisoning, and exposure, most were covered in tar and oil from their ship, blinding a lot of men.
Some of the men would simply give up, and sink beneath the waves to allow themselves to be eaten by sharks as well.
Funny thing is that the captain of the Japanese submarine was actually officially made a member of the survivors group.
Holy crap. Im imagining it and its not a good sight.
Damn
Man what kind of life can one expect to live after survivng something like that. Death would be better.
Dang dude 👀
Makes it all the more disgraceful how the captain was treated after everything that happened.
The 1st story: 'The Ghost and The Darkness' staring Val Kilmer. Excellent movie! The story about the Indianapolis, I 1st heard about from the movie 'Jaws'. I had asked my grandfather about it once and he said that he knew a bunch of the men who were on the Indianapolis when it went down. Only 1 he knew survived. And that's all he would say about it.
The ad transition was a work of genius. Love your content, keep up the great work!
I am a Navy veteran. That one horrible miscarriage of Justice with Captain McVeigh actually fills me with shame for the disgusting scapegoating perpetrated on the captain. I actually feel a helpless rage when I come across this story. I remember vividly when I first came across the story and it was watching Jaws in the theater when I was about 16 years old.
Its crazy you type this, a comment just two above you says that the captain was done dirty, because even enemy commanders commented that nothing could be done, but people still blamed the captain. The dude got death threats apparently, when it doesnt seem to be his fault :/
I fucking misread ur comment Im such a dumbass 💀

@@acid_tongue_4315 I mean what hell could he have done, his ship was hit and sinking in shark infested waters.
@Acid_tongue _ And they refused to give him any escort destroyers to protect them in case of a sub attack, which was against Navy protocol, but they arrogantly shrugged him off as being paranoid. We foolishly just assumed the Japanese were defeated & had nothing left like they were gonna just lay down without a fight. Cpt. McVeigh knew they wouldn't & begged them to reconsider & when he turned out to be completely right they scapegoated him instead of having the balls to admit they were wrong.
@@a.u.t.057 when horrible things happen humans have a tendency to try to find a way to blame it all on someone so they can pretend is was avoidable so it won't be as scary. It leads to things like persecutions and inquisitions
Fun fact: The second story about the sharks was featured in the movie Jaws as a story told by one of the protagonists, Quint, a character that had sailed on the Indianapolis. His account is nearly identical to the one CG tells.
And the first story got a whole movie adaptation (the ghost and the darkness)

I remember that one. They didn't mention them being maneless, though. And the lions used certainly weren't maneless, which is likely why it's not mentioned.
This video certainly was different. He stopped using his usual censors like "chalk outline" "unalive" and "statistic" for the most part. The whole thing has a completely different atmosphere from anything else that's been made on this channel, and I love it.
That’s when you know shit is about to get dark.
He did say "Took (x number) of people off the census" which of course is a euphemism we understand the meaning of. But other than that, he was incredibly respectful of the fact that the families of the deceased and who endured these terrors are very much alive and traumatized by what happened- and he was being very empathetic to that fact while creating this video. :)

My great Uncle was one of the few survivors of the Indianapolis, and only ever spoke of it once that I know of. I asked him why he didn't want to come to the lake (I was really little at a family reunion then) and all he ever said was that he held onto his best friend's hand as long as he could, and he was scared sh*tless of going back in there and never coming out. He refused to get in open water of any kind and would only take sponge baths sitting on a bucket in the bathtub with less than 8 inches of water.
Im sorry to hear about that man, my Grandfather was also a survivor of the USS Indianapolis' sinking. Wish I got to know him, because he died after my birth. He was there when I was born, but uh.. Yeah, I never saw him again other than in pictures.
Some phobias are understandable.
true PTSD in its strongest form
Shoooo man. Your uncle And his friend. Man that's just idk. Gruesome..
That story was much more heart-wrenching than terrifying if I'm being honest. And its understandable that he wouldn't ever go into open water again. I wouldn't ever wish PTSD like that on anybody.
This video unlocked a primal fear I've never felt before, that maybe my ancestors haven't felt in centuries. We tell so many horror stories about the supernatural that sometimes it's easy to forget how absolutely terrifying real animals can be.

There was another similar gruesome story regarding sailors stranded at sea, one survivor of a ship sunk due to bad weather said that he found this sailor floating in a donut tube, and when he tried to pull him up onboard only to find the bottom half missing. I think the Slothbear was an inspiration for The Bite of '83!
I had not seen a video of yours with such a serious, almost horror-like tone. I love it.
Bruh Gustavo is like a horror villain or a mythological being the way he’s described. Almost like a story to keep children out of dangerous waters but he actually existed.
In a similar story with the horror monster being human (arguably) was Tarrare a French peasant who according to surviving autopsy reports after his death was basically a mutant (and not the X Man kind) his entire body was structured in such a way that it focused everything on the singular purpose of eating, with extremely enlarged Stomach, Intestines, Throat and Mouth. He was said to have such a large sagging mouth that he could fit a dozen eggs in his mouth with no issues, and could eat a quarter of a cow by himself as a 13 year old kid, you’d think he’d be fat but he was actually only 100 pounds as an adult because his body processed and burned through the food inhumanly fast that when he wasn’t fat on food he had large stretched out flaps of skin. He was kicked out because his family were poor peasants and his parents could not afford to feed him. He would resort to eating trash and becoming a street performer just to sate his unending hunger. Even this wasn’t enough because he eventually found himself in the care of doctors wanting to see what was wrong with this bottomless pit of a man who was never not hungry. The list of things he ate was a full course meal meant for 12 all on his own, a living real that he ate whole, a cat that he snapped in half, drank it’s blood, ate whole and later coughed up its hair like an owl, and (all this food not being enough) he would regularly sneak out to drink blood from patients, nearly eat cadavers, eat trash and a 4 month old baby. I may not be a doctor but they these people were looking over a demon.
There are theories in historical circles about how leviathan from the Bible was likely a saltwater crocodile, just like the “dragon” St. George fought in his tale was likely a Nike monitor.

He even warned them it was foolish to not have any destroyers escorting them in case of an attack & they shrugged him off as paranoid.

Agreed!
If you want another crazy Navy coverup story like this, check out the USS Liberty.
Exactly! When your own enemy admits that there was literally nothing that could’ve been done and they still get ignored you know the people calling these shots are truly evil
And nothing has changed since. The people in charge today are just as bad, if not worse, than them.
YES! For That, Fuck The Navy.

I really like this style of content. This is great work!
You should look up Jim Corbett, who wrote lots of books about man eating cats when he served as a commissioner in India. He thought that it was injuries that made many animals turn to hunting humans. He also thought that once they had tasted human flesh, they shunned their normal prey thereafter. I believe I read somewhere that in Fiji, where cannibalism was an acceptable practice for captured competitive tribesmen, the word for these unfortunate souls translated into English as "Long Pigs".
“Fun fact?”, Jaws was the first movie To bring the USS Indianapolis incident to the public, in fact, a crew member skipped out on a party celebrating the films release and success, cause he discovered one of his sons had been killed by a Shark during the incident.
:(
This is a fact of WW2 ship sinkings thats not really talked about much is all the people who got ate by sharks floating in the waters hoping for rescue.

Gustave and the Tsavo Lions were probably the most terrifying of them all. One of the lions was shot several times at close range with a rifle and even as it was in it's death throes it STILL tried to kill the guy who shot it.
Gustave has a kill count of allegedly 300 plus and is borderline unkillable given the scars on his body indicate that people have tried and failed. Unlike most of these animals listed, Gustave *might still be out there*
It's reported that, while unlikely, Gustave may have survived a blast from a rocket launcher that barely missed him. He's surprisingly durable. His skin had gotten so thick that the only widely available gun in that area (an ak-47) wouldn't even pierce his hide. The only effective way to get Gustave to get away wa to drop a live grenade in the water, which shows just how intelligent this reptile is.
r we sure gustave is a normal croc? he seems way too powerful to have gotten those mutations in a handful of generations.

@@spingus_bingus987 yeah, no. There's tough, and then there's 'take a weapon that rips apart tanks' fantasy. Regardless of surviving a close impact (which he likely wouldn't), there would be the countless sharpnel that would imbed and infect him, which is lethal in the wild.
Additionally, his size would make it pretty hard to miss him, so the whole 'he could still be out there' thing is bogus.
@@blake3631 the whole "he could still be out there" thing isnt bogus, yes the rpg would've killed him, but how do we know someone even shot him with an rpg?, the real question should be "how the hell did he get that big" because normal crocodiles DONT get that big, oh and also most crocodiles are pretty much immune to diseases.

Many (not all, though) of those railway workers from India were indentured labors. The lives and experiences of these workers form a large body of absolutely fascinating literature in India. As a kid, I was introduced to Mombasa, the Black Mamba, and various aspects of east, central, and south-central African culture and wildlife through these writings. One novel in particular is very well known. It's called "The Moon Mountain": the story of one such railway worker whose journey starts in Mombasa, then takes him through a long and complex journey starting with the lion attacks you discuss in this video, all the way to South Africa. And yes, the protagonist gets to see Mount Kilimanjaro, the moon mountain.

The story of the man-eating lions of Tsavo is probably the scariest story I’ve ever heard. I think what makes the story so scary is that it taps into the primal fear of man.
People very very very easily forget today that there's a reason we made it out of the bush
There’s a movie on it. The Ghost and the Darkness
If you haven't read John Patterson's "The Man-eaters of Tsavo" I highly recommend it. At the beginning of the film Ghost and the Darkness it says "even the most unbelievable parts of this story are true.". Well, it's more like "ONLY the most incredible parts are true." Patterson recounts it in such a matter-of-fact way, but the horror of the incident is not diminished.
