Hey Clint Laidlaw, Why don't you get to think of a suggestion and creating a UA-cam Videos all about the 🦔Insectivore Group🦔 (Insectivora), such as Shrews, Moles, Hedgehogs, Solenodons, Gymnures, Moonrats, Desmans, the Extinct West Indian Shrews, Etc. on the next Clint's Reptiles on the next Saturday coming up next?!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍👍👍
I've also seen a video where a bunch of guys in Turkey (I think) are scared after seeing what I think was an owl chick in its nest. So it doesn't even need to be a threat display!
that stare means I'm not alone. I've seen that same look from this biologist in the mirror I tend towards molecular bio, so I love em ALL. Don't make me choose between any organism. Clint shares a same fire and love in the soul of the living world. Curiosity may have killed the cat, but gave this chica a way to live.
I just imagined someone filming Bigfoot screaming like "What's that? It's Bigfoot, man! That's crazy!" and meanwhile, poor Jim the animal photographer being like "Why's that person screaming? I went through all the trouble of getting an amazing camouflage and now it's useless because that dude is scaring all nearby animals. I'll better leave silently." That does actually explain many Bigfoot films, if you think about it.
Honestly probably the case for several of them. My personal favourite theory is that people keep accidentally getting footage of people out in their fursuits. And they're too embarrassed to speak up
I was driving through Ontario Canada with my bro and i saw a Bigfoot just walking in the bush on the side of the road. Both me and my bro where like what the hell?!? Then like 20 seconds later we passed a sigh for the sasquatch creek, then the sasquatch lodge. So ya, obviously is was a guy dressed up, but why? some kind of advertising?
@@ToxicFaith42I'm just going to pretend in my head that you saw a real sasquatch, the one that the whole local economy is based around, and that the locals somehow never manage to satisfactorily document. Just imagine, you could have been famous if you had offered it a ride.
@@ToxicFaith42Yeah, it was a type of advertising, but for people who want to believe that sasquatch is out there and they can find it. It's probably so people will take pictures from their car and post it online and mention the general area in the post, then people who are out to find bigfoot will google that area and see the hotel and probably figure that that place has tips for how to see it for themselves if they stay there. Granted there are also probably people who would go just because they want a themed experience without necessarily thinking it's real. Cryptid tourism is an actual thing so some people want in on it.
This worked on me. Before I knew to look for the owl it was a stocky small-headed beast with the most giant big horned sheep horns I ever saw in my life. Nope. Those 'd be WINGS.
That guy that walked the bear out is never going to stfu up about this experience and no one is ever going to be able to tell him he’s wrong about anything.
Pretty sure he was drunk af. But for sure, the story of how he once kicked a bear out of their gathering and even got swiped by it on the way out will be retold for generations lol. Especially with the video to prove it.
Aaabsolutely. He will show literally everyone these cuts until they are completely gone (at least on video they look really shallow and not like they will scar)
Black bears act like raccoons. They aren't very violent, very curious, and its the size that makes them dangerous. I haven't had to deal with one, but I ran into a mountain lion once. I was stopped on the trail when it walked into view and saw me. We both froze. My brilliant idea was to give it the turkey sammich in my pocket. Take a bite first, so the cat knew it was food, then toss it to him and leave while he was eating. That didn't work. That sandwich was devoured before I could get turned around all the way. The lion walked over to me, sniffed, butted its head into my leg a couple times, then left. And I jelly-legged it home to get new pants. That kitbull must have been named Thak The God-Hammer. Because if it was Princess, I wouldn't be here.
It makes me so sad how many of the "unidentified creatures" have the creepy and foreboding music over them. They're fascinating and beautiful! It shouldnt have to be passed off as some alien thing just to get attention on social media.
On the flip side of that, people seeing these clickbait videos, especially kids, is how some get interested in the animal kingdom at all and might end up becoming conservationists.
Yeah, but picking these appart it's just so much fun to laugh my head off. It's fun to realize how exactly these apparently mythical beasts walk ammoung us. What is this giant bigfoot-like creature raming the wilderness? Maybe that's a small llama? moves creepily, indeed . . . Oh wait--I've got the scale wrong -- it's a bird, so it's got brown puffed out feathers, not thick fur. It's one of those very tall water birds with its feathers puffed out. I guess long legged water birds walking is kinda a creepy movement, when you can't make sense of it. Or this massive shapeless thing in the deep. What horrible monster blob is this? Why a jellyfish of course, and again, scale is quite deceptive. Hard no to feel bad for the leemur though -- it seems to have met with considerable injury. Whoever thought to repackage it as a demon animal? Odd that that presentation works so well, given these guys usually meet with human abuse because of how cute they are and stupid people trying to make them pets.
Yeah, the guy's audio from the flying lemur vid was originally from a viral vid of a guy just finding a creepy looking cat in his backyard. It got overlayed a bunch of other stuff about people finding weird animals in backyards
Same I kind of looked away a few times because I was so anxious, I know there wouldn't be any liveleak type death videos on this channel, but.. that definitely felt like it was going to be one
The thing I love so much is that in our day and age, when everyone and their mother has a 4k HD supercamera on their phones, cryptids and UFOs still only show up on grainy, blurry, shaky, unfocused footage and pictures. What a coincidence!
Used to be a SCUBA instructor. Once got b**ch slapped by a Tiger Shark in a similar manner to the first shark video. I was cleaning the bottom of the dive boat, and felt a thump on my tank, then my mask got knocked up as I turned around, watched a bunch of stripes pass my face, then she 'swam' a notch faster, tail-slapping me in the face. I took it as my cue to scrape barnacles some other day... Got a black eye and a sandpaper burn across my right cheek from I would guess the pectoral fin dragging across my cheek.
@@kR-qj7rw honestly? That was more the feeling I got from the encounter. Scraping barnacles makes some pretty awful noises underwater, like someone using a file on your teeth. And that's to human perception. Imagine for a tiger shark, whose senses are so much more acute than ours. Nails on the chalkboard. And the bay we were anchored in was mostly known as ideal turtle habitat. There was little chance the shark was hungry. Middle of the day. She wasn't hunting, and it wasn't an attack or curiosity. There was no bite on the tank or strap holding it. She knew what I was, what I was doing, and wanted it to stop. And I just about dolphin jumped onto the duckboard out of the water about 5 seconds later to oblige! Edit: Most of my friends in the industry refer to sharks as female until proven otherwise. This thing might have identified as an Apache Attack Helicopter for all I cared. I identified as an Exocet Missile for a few seconds afterwards lol
People don't know how to act around cats, imagine around sharks. We're in the infancy of animal interaction and I think that's beautiful. They will never learn to talk to us, they are already doing it, it's just us that can't understand them yet.
I pride myself on speaking a little cat. If someone warns me that their cat scratches, I can usually fake enough body language to formally introduce myself to it, at which point it gets much less aggressive. I don't really understand what the cat's saying back but it's still a surprisingly useful skill.
People are pretty weird compared to most animals. We bare our teeth as a sign of friendliness, we bark loud noises at each other, I mean the fact that we're bipedal is super rare in the animal kingdom. Animals tend to speak through body language, which a lot of humans tend not to pay conscious attention to.
@@moon-moth1 While I really dislike this AI trend lately, that is a legitimately cool and helpful use of it. Now if only octopuses were more talkative, eh?
Clint, buddy, you can't casually mention that male/juvenile blanket octopuses will use man o' war tentacles as weapons, and then just move on without elaborating or showing any footage!
I mean the blue dragon nudibranch from earlier in the video also steals man o war tentacles to use as weapons. It’s a surprisingly common behavior for sea creatures, especially if they regularly eat man o wars or jellies.
@@Tinyvalkyrie410poison dart frogs also get their toxicity from the prey they eat, and the golden one is the most poisonous animal in the world. How they developed their immunity to the 100+ different toxins they consume and redistribute through their skin is still a mystery
I was dying when you said that crocodile defending the village was "the dude" because all I could think of was him going up to other crocs saying "This aggression will not stand, man!"
I especially love the ‘unidentified animal’ videos where they have the creepiest music possible playing over footage of an animal that they’ve never seen or heard of before but that is very common somewhere, to someone. Bittern was the best one, for me!
I didn’t realise what was going on at first. I though it was just distressed from being on the open ground next to a human. But than I realised that the situation was way worse with the line. This is absolutely not a video that should get a comedic audio. Absolutely inappropriate.
I have a feeling that bear only swiped at the guy because the guy had his arm out, making the bear think he was gonna swing first, and when he didnt retaliate, the bear just left
@@useyourdelusion6807That is not how you do that at all. It's much easier to look big and scary to the bear from a safer distance so that it doesn't want to stick around . Not follow it into a corner and point to the exit as if it'll understand that
Sometimes I feel like religion is because kids didn’t understand what the parents were saying, attributed supernatural qualities to it, and it’s been a game of telephone spiraling out of control 🤪😂😂
I would LOVE a gastropod video. Everyone thinks of snails as icky but they can be so beautiful!! And even have chlorophyll and look like living little leaves!!
Clint making 1000% sure to never say that any wild animal is safe to approach. Bear seems friendly? It's going to maul you. Croc seems patient? Not for long! Just leave em be! 😂
True, the vast vast vast majority of the time, there is no good reason to approach a wild animal. The downside is huge and the upside is minimal. I remember going to Catalina as part of a 7th grade trip for a week and there are wild bison living on the island from IIRC a movie they were brought in for in the 30s or 40s. These are wild bison, breeding. And we were kicking soccer balls at them occasionally like complete idiots when a protective mother or big bull could have easily killed us. Still amazed we were allowed to just run around on a playground with wild bison roaming around.
He didn't say anything about secretly surviving sauropods! As far as Im concerned, Clint's given his 100% approval to not just appproach but touch, play with, even feed any non-avian dinosaur I come across.
Seeing that blanket octopus glide past your boat could easily make a person believe in mermaids. Imagine long red flowing hair and an iridescent tail. The ocean is a crazy and wonerful place.
i know close to nothing about animals and i was like “is that an octopus??” but called myself stupid. then i found out it actually was and i was confused on how i guessed that right 😭
Why we like these videos is, not the tiktoks its, how much does Clint know... like just generally... these are the conversations we would have with you in person.
That sleeping mama whale was hands down the craziest animal moment I have seen so far. I have NEVER seen a whale sleep with it's tail out of the water like that!
@@katelillo1932 I'd assume it's easier to keep their tail up because more of their body mass is located towards their head instead of tail. In this case, sleeping with most of your head out of the water (whales can't breathe through their mouths unless they have an atavism condition) would be like trying to sleep while balancing a top on its tip; it's a point of unstable equilibrium. I'm guessing in calm water, their body is probably most stable in a vertical position.
The Owl at the end was an Eurasian Eagle Owl. I used to work with them quite a bit, and I'd recognize those patterns and face anywhere! They're basically the Eurasian, larger version of the Great Horned Owl.
@@DJFracus It very much could be. Without much to tell me how big it is I can't be certain. It's colours are close enough to be either one, and I can't tell their patterns apart.
From what I can tell, "unidentified creature" to TikTok just means "I saw this video and uploaded it to TikTok and have no interest in identifying it myself"
The big puppy dog eyes you got when watching that shark nuzzle it's human diving friend is exactly how I feel whenever I see that clip. If I remember right, they've been friends ever since the diver helped remove either a hook or spear from the shark, who recognizes them every dive, even if it's been over a year since they last met.
Also the ideal skunk policy! "Oh i see, i was going to put my laundry on the line, but i now realize I was mistaken, this is your yard now. Understandable, I will use the dryer."
several years ago there was this huge black bear that was just wandering around the town i grew up in for a couple weeks. one guy who was running for mayor not too long after used it in his ad campaign. also there was a black bear that broke into a bank there once in the late 80s
@@hypergirl6703 There's a member of the heron family that are now becoming established in England but I've never seen one. Oh well, je ne egret rein, as the French say!
I’m five months late but I immediately recognized the humpback because they’re one of my fav animals, and I got so envious of the guy in the transparent boat that I started tearing up 🥺 I love these beautiful animals so much
The bear one was painful to watch. Despite what you might hear in media, almost all bear "attacks" are actually provoked by people acting stupid like that.
Yeah. Trying to escort it out is one thing. But standing in front of it and pointing to the exit is absurd. It's a wild animal, it won't understand your human gestures
Yeah. At one point that guy had the bear cornered and that’s a bad thing to do to almost any wild animal, but to do it to a bear must be the supreme height of stupidity. Then he had himself cornered with the bear in front of him, which is also stupid! If the bear decides to get rowdy, he had no chance at escape at all. Even with skittish house cats I am careful not to corner them or corner myself because both are a good way to get scratched or bitten by a scared animal that wants you to go away and thinks it has no other choice. I take that kind of care with cats, or hamsters, or pet mice, but this guy is out here blundering around and cornering a friggin _black bear_ !
Bears that are "comfortable" with and accustomed to being around people are some of the most dangerous ones. When they are in a good mood (like this one is) they seem to be pretty harmless and easy to deal with. But, if it ever gets aggressive or stressed these guys would have been a mess.
When i was a child in the bayous of louisiana, my grandpa, an alligator trapper, kept a large, bull gator near the fishing camp well fed and socialized so that the kids can be safe when we would come to the camp.
Sorry for the ignorance, not any sort of expert, but how does the gator keep the kids safe? Is it just a matter of scaring off other, more aggressive ones?
But that's the thing they say not to do feeding alligators because they lose their fear of humans and serk out humans for food seems like out of ignorance he was putting the kids in more danger
@@noelramirez1551 well, that's why you feed the biggest one. Clint spoke about it in the video. If you feed a really big one he'll scare off the others. It's probably not full proof, but it's probably very effective.
@@haeilsey Dislike most of them and stuff like flatworms and milli- and centipedes, among many others, creep me the hell out. But I still think we should let them be. I'm also super glad that where I live there's only two species of spiders that could be considered harmful to humans. Diving bell spiders (Argyroneta aquatica) that live in nature and Chilean recluses (Loxosceles laeta) that, legends say, emigrated here in fruit boxes in the 70's and started a colony in the Museum of Natural History in Helsinki.
@@haeilseyme to a fault, except I’m not killing the freaky inverts, I’m getting he heck away. Logically I know they’re harmless but my lizard brain does NOT like. (Spiders are ok though. They’re bros, it’s the ones that exceed the eight leg limit that have me acting a fool.)
@@haeilsey I am not scared of spiders or roaches, just disturbed by the latter. however put me in the same room as a cattepillar and I'll start fighting for my life
The one with the friendly tiger shark, theres a story behind it. The man in the video in the past helped her with a fishing line that was stuck on her while he was diving, ever since then she likes to interact with him whenever he dives in the area
About sharks, two things: 1. I saw some studies from biologists, mostly studying California great whites, stating that these sharks have one of the best eyesight's from all sea creatures, and that is very, VERY unlikely that they mistake surfers for sea lions or seals. What these biologists think happens is that the shark just happens to be passing by when a surfer is there and that the shark doesn't know if that "thing" is something that they can eat or not, so the only way to find out is by biting the surfer. 2. Another thing is that great white burn tremendous amounts of energy regularly, so they need to feed on high fat sea mammals, which means they actively chose to not eat anything that isn't a sea mammal due to the fact that they need high fat diets in order to not die, and if they digest other prey that cannot replenish that energy effectively, they will burn more energy than they get from the prey itself only from digestion, which is really interesting, they are really not looking to eat people at all!
Thank you for you comment. Not long ago I watched a video about white sharks where they explained how these sharks live and why they bite people and I was realy confused when Clint said the myth about Surfers looking like sea lions. I think Clint is just not up to date. I mean it's impossible to know every New Informationen about animals
Eating something other than a sea mammal probably wouldn't take more energy to digest than the energy in the food. It's just that sharks can better spend their digestion time on something more nutritious.
to be fair theres plenty of humans especially off the coast of cali that have plenty enough fat for a shark to want to eat them lol. though they arent the same people that are out surfing and things regardless. (also i do believe the eyesight thing but given they can be tricked by just a regular black pad that looks even less like a sea lion than a humans limbs hanging off a surfboard i find it hard to believe its good enough that they know people on boards arent sea mammals)
This makes me wonder whether you could run a programme where you teach wild sharks that things which smell like surfboards aren't edible. I don't know if they're social enough to pass the information on between each other. Doping the surfboard with something which smells distinctive --- not necessarily bad, just something that makes it clear that this isn't a sea lion --- might help. It could be as easy as mooring foam buoys doped with this stuff out in shark territory. They bite this, discover it's not edible, so that they know not to try when they come across a surfer which smells similar.
The fact that he opened the door for the bear. Like bruh, that’s the tiniest, most useless fence. A person could clear that. It was probably more effort for him to squeeze through the gate than jump it.
I appreciate the fact that Clint is a fellow biologist that gets really excited by things he's not seen yet. I'm sorry to say that the longer you are a biologist the less you get to find new weird things, but I'm a few decades in and I'm still finding new things or at least new information about old things. I also adore watching other people get to experience oh my gosh look at this crazy new thing. Sharing interesting critters with people is one of my favorite things. I once bet my college professor $5 that giant salamanders were real. Easiest $5 of my life but he was so incredibly happy when he realized that they were real that that was the biggest prize.
I was shocked at how small axolotls could be when i first saw them in person. I love watching Lockstin & Gnoggin's videos on Pokemon, because i learn so much about animals and nature, history and society.
Aawww that's a sweet little story! You seem to be a big hearted person, may that never change. AND chin-up because new animals or at least species are found quiet often.
Love it. Those I actually knew the American Bittern. It was about 4 or 5 years ago, a friend and I was taking the back way to the zoo. When I saw a bird on the side of the road with its head straight up. We both were like “what was that?” My friend is a lifetime bird watcher, didn’t know. We actually stopped in the middle of the road and watched it cross. So when we got back to her house, we pulled out all her bird books until we found it. She keeps a bird diary, she wrote down the date, time and what she was doing when she saw it for the first time. Thank you for your videos. I appreciate you and your crew and all the work you do.
Everglades would be brackish and definitely a bull. They're terrifying but anyone who grew up in Florida would tell you sticking any part of your body into unclear water is a way to get got.
Seriously! Dude was lucky it was a small bull shark and not a gator, he could’ve lost his hand or even his life. Absolutely insane thing to do and the guy filming is repeatedly warning him not to.
@@fuunygurl10 If you look right after the guy fell in, you could see where his hand very quickly brushed the edge of the boat, and left a blood mark. It must have been a pretty big gash if that much blood came out that quickly.
Sharks are such friends. They're so cute and curious. Of course, not as friendly as manatees (I love manatees), but they're so misunderstood and deserve many pets.
As a watcher of Casual Geographic, seeing those blue dragon things made me tense up. And you didn't even mention that holding them could be a not so great decision LOL I was expecting it because Casual Geographic always zeroes in on that.
Yup, just like the blanket octopus, they can collect the venomous spikes from man O Wars and use them for their own defense. So, while not inherently dangerous themselves, picking them up is like picking up a man O war.
I like how the cryptid videos always have to have this creepy music to make sure we know that we are supposed to be creeped out by it. They know that the video won't stand on its own :)
Alligators are generally more placid than cros, but that doesn't mean they're friendly. Clint is 100% right, if one manages to clamp down on you, there is almost nothing you can do to stop it.
@@ferretyluv They’re not though, they’re based on a 235 pound black bear that was all beat up and tied to a tree. Teddy Roosevelt felt bad and didn’t want to shoot it.
I stumbled upon you by accident when I was doing titanoboa research and I just fell in love with your content it's so fascinating and I love how calming your voice is. Thank you for your videos.
The last "Bigfoot" definitely looked like a Ghillie suit. The camouflage was very well matched to the environment of proper Ghillie suits tend to be. Also, while perhaps not consistent with actual military activity, that was a classic "Call of Duty" crouch walk.
Definitely! Neither one of the guys in the video were walking straight! I bet he freaked when he saw the footage after he sobered up....he actually doesn't come across as someone that sobers up,
I love these types of videos, I love it when I go "hahaha lol this is fake I wonder how they faked it" only for clint to say "this is a snout-nosed sniffer schnoz, native to south-west-east madagascar, they're SUPER cool and here's why"
Yeah, the "bittern", I could have SWORN was CGi (but I'm watching on a tiny phone screen;. I didn't see a bird, at all- I saw some weird, cartoonish, bipedal mammal, kinda half-kangaroo, half "Where the Wild Things Are")
a wild alligator coming up to a boat full of people like a puppy expecting treats from visitors is something i thought i would never see and it just makes alligators cuter to me
So much of the “unidentified animals” reminds me of the whole UFO thing. Anything is an Unidentified Flying Object/Animal if you’re bad enough at identifying things!
@@kitkatboard yea that one was hilarious to me😭 how do you even use the internet and grow to be an adult without having at least seen a picture of an owls face. I didnt even know they lowered their head in their defensive posture but it was so obviously just a regular old owl that it was insane to see someone take the video, edit, and post it without realizing its just a very well known bird
Genuinely, this is one of my favorite series on UA-cam. I really really hope you keep doing these reactions. I just love hearing what all you have to say about each thing. It's both fascinating and like hanging out with a friend.
I once saw what looked like people in giant beaver costumes in the middle of the woods holding sticks. To this day I have never been able to figure out what I saw.
I really love your calm and very factual breakdown of these! Yay for Muntjak mention! And also that Blanket octopus looked amazing! The Jaguarundi is actually exactly that, according to Lindsay Nicole here on UA-cam, who's pretty into cats (not gonna call them big cats, since they're not). She has repeatedly shown this clip in her videos and shorts.
about that social poison thing... they do kinda inject it into us sometimes, no? altho i guess you do have to install the app to let it inject anything into your feed...
Re: the Great White Shark 'bump': This is a common behaviour with sharks. They bump a potential prey item, their rough skin knocking off skin etc that the shark then tastes/smells (chemoreception in water basically means that both senses are much the same for a fish), and get an idea of how palatable said item is. Lucky for the diver, Great White's don't like the taste of neoprene.
That's actually why humans wear wetsuits, humans used to get eaten all the time so we started coating ourselves with the worst-tasting materials we could. come back for more real internet facts
10:11 aww the bear just wanted to join in with the picnic and I like to think when he smacked the guy the bear was saying "ffs yes I'm going quit rushing me I know when I'm not wanted, damage humans hogging all the fun"
At 50:00: Depending where it was taken, maybe an Eurasian Eagle Owl? We got quite a few of them around here and I directly thought about them, when seen it.
That mutjack deer literally looks like a fever dream from a science fiction author 😂😂 I woke up to a black bear sniffing my head through a screen when I was a kid. I'm so glad my body choice freeze out of all the automatic responses. As soon as it walked away I slammed my window shut and went screaming for my mommy! Bed was moved at first light 😂😂😂
I grew up in Montana and they teach you from very young how to handle bear encounters. The closest encounter was a young black bear while hiking in the Bob Marshall Wilderness. I walked around a corner and this huge black shape leaped out of the bushes right next to me and onto a nearby tree, and just hung there and looked at me, maybe 8 feet away. Normally you want to stay still when near a bear, but in this situation I thought it felt cornered, so I backed up slowly to give it room to leave. After a few seconds it hopped down and away, stopping to look at me a few times.
One thing i find extemely facinating with sharks is their dental plan, they spent so many evolution points on that skill tree. Not only they grow new rotating set all the time because they tend to lose them, but they also have such high fluorite concentration, that they literally cant get cavitys in their teeth even if they dont shed/lose them.
50 years ago a park ranger told us: "A bear is stronger than a human, runs faster than a human and climbs trees better than a human. If the bear wants to get you, there is not a darn thing you can do to get away. Stay away from the bears." I have never forgotten that very good advice!
What a delight! The last TikTok video and this one were wonderful! I love that you cover a wide variety of animals and topics in one video. I'd definitely love to see more!
The dude with the clear kayak also has a clip where a water snake comes up, check the kayak out, then swims away. May have two like that actually. Its a crazy thing to see too, one is a weird species thats quite large - maybe a yellow belly sea snake? Awesome vid!
The guy with the salt water crocodile actually went out of his way to save it when it was starving! It comes to see him, and if it doesn't he'll hop on a boat and go find the croc, and it'll swim right up and say hi! then he gives it some food, plays around a lil, then leaves it alone
I gotta say that watching your face during some of those videos- phew! Intense af. The way you looked so locked on and your brow furrowed and your eyes had this incredible sharp keen look in them, it was almost my favorite part of the whole video! Please do more of these! Your content is so much fun and going over these little bite sized different pieces is great. Love it!
The blanket octopus looks so cool! They should make baby blankies that look like them. Like, blankets with a rabbit head are cute and all, but an octopus is way cooler, and if it was anatomically accurate?! Wow, that would be so cool! I would love that as an adult! And it would be a great way to start young with teaching your child biology. Once they were old enough to start learning about different animals that would be such a cool thing to show them what their baby blanket was modeled after!
I just love zoologists. People are like "OMG a scary unknown creature from space an unseen monster terrifying" and Clint is just like "it's a jellyfish"
I bet the guy thought he really showed that bear who's boss lol Also skipping over the "how dangerous is it" portion for the blue sea dragon was kinda funny
Please more!!! I love the animal encounters section! I'd love to hear more about the behaviours of the animals and how to understand their intentions!!
The great white booping the back of that guy's head...not many of us have vids "and this is the time I was one electrical impulse from losing my head" LOL

I've also seen a video where a bunch of guys in Turkey (I think) are scared after seeing what I think was an owl chick in its nest. So it doesn't even need to be a threat display!
@@Oscar97o yeah white ones, they surely looked like aliens lmak

Alternate title: Zoologist stares into your soul before reacting to viral animal videos.
Can’t decide if I love or hate that stare tbh
Clint has beautiful blue eyes, but that also makes the stare more piercing and I can't decide if I'm unsettled by the stare or not
that stare means I'm not alone. I've seen that same look from this biologist in the mirror I tend towards molecular bio, so I love em ALL. Don't make me choose between any organism. Clint shares a same fire and love in the soul of the living world. Curiosity may have killed the cat, but gave this chica a way to live.
I didn't notice until a little after 11:04 😂😂😂 I don't mind it, anyone who is as passionate about animals as I am can stare away lol
why has everyone started calling blue eyes creepy recently i feel so attacked 😭😭😭
"A lot of time they don't have hands" implies great white sharks who Do have hands, which is perhaps more terrifying😂
Well they'd fondle you with their shark hands, which would be less hurtful than chewing on you, but much more awkward.
be gentle senpai
I love the idea that some Bigfoot footage is just accidentally filming animal photographers in camouflage.
I just imagined someone filming Bigfoot screaming like "What's that? It's Bigfoot, man! That's crazy!" and meanwhile, poor Jim the animal photographer being like "Why's that person screaming? I went through all the trouble of getting an amazing camouflage and now it's useless because that dude is scaring all nearby animals. I'll better leave silently."
That does actually explain many Bigfoot films, if you think about it.
Honestly probably the case for several of them.
My personal favourite theory is that people keep accidentally getting footage of people out in their fursuits. And they're too embarrassed to speak up
I was driving through Ontario Canada with my bro and i saw a Bigfoot just walking in the bush on the side of the road. Both me and my bro where like what the hell?!?
Then like 20 seconds later we passed a sigh for the sasquatch creek, then the sasquatch lodge. So ya, obviously is was a guy dressed up, but why? some kind of advertising?
@@ToxicFaith42I'm just going to pretend in my head that you saw a real sasquatch, the one that the whole local economy is based around, and that the locals somehow never manage to satisfactorily document. Just imagine, you could have been famous if you had offered it a ride.
@@ToxicFaith42Yeah, it was a type of advertising, but for people who want to believe that sasquatch is out there and they can find it. It's probably so people will take pictures from their car and post it online and mention the general area in the post, then people who are out to find bigfoot will google that area and see the hotel and probably figure that that place has tips for how to see it for themselves if they stay there. Granted there are also probably people who would go just because they want a themed experience without necessarily thinking it's real. Cryptid tourism is an actual thing so some people want in on it.
“secret unidentified creature” with creepy music:
literally a horned owl
I'm pretty sure it's an eagle owl, judging by the proportions and colouration.
@@andreyradchenko8200 yeah i think youre right looking back, maybe it really is a secret unidentified creature to me 💀
This worked on me. Before I knew to look for the owl it was a stocky small-headed beast with the most giant big horned sheep horns I ever saw in my life. Nope. Those 'd be WINGS.
i also thought it was a weird ram head until i saw the owl face. it immediately went from "satanic ritual offering" to "spooked fluffy goofball"
i saw the face of the owl immediately and i was confused why the music was playing 💀
That guy that walked the bear out is never going to stfu up about this experience and no one is ever going to be able to tell him he’s wrong about anything.
Yuuup the immediate bragging he lapsed into was bewildering.
It’s pretty clear that’s why he did it to begin with.
Pretty sure he was drunk af. But for sure, the story of how he once kicked a bear out of their gathering and even got swiped by it on the way out will be retold for generations lol. Especially with the video to prove it.
Aaabsolutely. He will show literally everyone these cuts until they are completely gone (at least on video they look really shallow and not like they will scar)
Black bears act like raccoons. They aren't very violent, very curious, and its the size that makes them dangerous. I haven't had to deal with one, but I ran into a mountain lion once. I was stopped on the trail when it walked into view and saw me. We both froze. My brilliant idea was to give it the turkey sammich in my pocket. Take a bite first, so the cat knew it was food, then toss it to him and leave while he was eating.
That didn't work. That sandwich was devoured before I could get turned around all the way.
The lion walked over to me, sniffed, butted its head into my leg a couple times, then left.
And I jelly-legged it home to get new pants.
That kitbull must have been named Thak The God-Hammer. Because if it was Princess, I wouldn't be here.
how that bear swatted him reminded me so much of a cat taking a swipe at its owner when they have annoyed it a little
It makes me so sad how many of the "unidentified creatures" have the creepy and foreboding music over them. They're fascinating and beautiful! It shouldnt have to be passed off as some alien thing just to get attention on social media.
On the flip side of that, people seeing these clickbait videos, especially kids, is how some get interested in the animal kingdom at all and might end up becoming conservationists.
People are scared of what they dont know
Yeah, but picking these appart it's just so much fun to laugh my head off. It's fun to realize how exactly these apparently mythical beasts walk ammoung us. What is this giant bigfoot-like creature raming the wilderness? Maybe that's a small llama? moves creepily, indeed . . . Oh wait--I've got the scale wrong -- it's a bird, so it's got brown puffed out feathers, not thick fur. It's one of those very tall water birds with its feathers puffed out. I guess long legged water birds walking is kinda a creepy movement, when you can't make sense of it. Or this massive shapeless thing in the deep. What horrible monster blob is this? Why a jellyfish of course, and again, scale is quite deceptive. Hard no to feel bad for the leemur though -- it seems to have met with considerable injury. Whoever thought to repackage it as a demon animal? Odd that that presentation works so well, given these guys usually meet with human abuse because of how cute they are and stupid people trying to make them pets.
That's just a part of the brain rot that is tik Tok and social media
Half of those people who make those videos have never gone outside
Yeah, the guy's audio from the flying lemur vid was originally from a viral vid of a guy just finding a creepy looking cat in his backyard. It got overlayed a bunch of other stuff about people finding weird animals in backyards
WADDAFAK IS DAT MAAAAAAA
That clip of the guy splashing around with the crocodile was one of the most anxiety inducing things i've ever seen
Same I kind of looked away a few times because I was so anxious, I know there wouldn't be any liveleak type death videos on this channel, but.. that definitely felt like it was going to be one
Yeah, even though I knew it wouldn't be bad if it was on this channel, every fiber of my being was yelling DANGER
nice pfp fellow ebi
Yeah... that one got me so bad. I had to pause the video. The one I had to skip was the poor lemur though. Poor thing.
I had to pause for a moment and start reading comments cause it was just baaaad
The thing I love so much is that in our day and age, when everyone and their mother has a 4k HD supercamera on their phones, cryptids and UFOs still only show up on grainy, blurry, shaky, unfocused footage and pictures. What a coincidence!
Used to be a SCUBA instructor. Once got b**ch slapped by a Tiger Shark in a similar manner to the first shark video. I was cleaning the bottom of the dive boat, and felt a thump on my tank, then my mask got knocked up as I turned around, watched a bunch of stripes pass my face, then she 'swam' a notch faster, tail-slapping me in the face. I took it as my cue to scrape barnacles some other day... Got a black eye and a sandpaper burn across my right cheek from I would guess the pectoral fin dragging across my cheek.
😱
The way my neoprene suit would be stained if that happened to me
''jeez i get it alright alright im going''
@@kR-qj7rw honestly? That was more the feeling I got from the encounter. Scraping barnacles makes some pretty awful noises underwater, like someone using a file on your teeth. And that's to human perception. Imagine for a tiger shark, whose senses are so much more acute than ours. Nails on the chalkboard. And the bay we were anchored in was mostly known as ideal turtle habitat. There was little chance the shark was hungry. Middle of the day. She wasn't hunting, and it wasn't an attack or curiosity. There was no bite on the tank or strap holding it. She knew what I was, what I was doing, and wanted it to stop. And I just about dolphin jumped onto the duckboard out of the water about 5 seconds later to oblige!
Edit: Most of my friends in the industry refer to sharks as female until proven otherwise. This thing might have identified as an Apache Attack Helicopter for all I cared. I identified as an Exocet Missile for a few seconds afterwards lol
@@altakiri4001 Pretty good indicator you have a male shark is the pair of hemi-penises or claspers near their butts.
People don't know how to act around cats, imagine around sharks. We're in the infancy of animal interaction and I think that's beautiful. They will never learn to talk to us, they are already doing it, it's just us that can't understand them yet.
I pride myself on speaking a little cat. If someone warns me that their cat scratches, I can usually fake enough body language to formally introduce myself to it, at which point it gets much less aggressive. I don't really understand what the cat's saying back but it's still a surprisingly useful skill.
@@bewilderbeestie yeah, same, grew up with cats so I have a very easy time understamding them and making them feel at ease!
People are pretty weird compared to most animals. We bare our teeth as a sign of friendliness, we bark loud noises at each other, I mean the fact that we're bipedal is super rare in the animal kingdom. Animals tend to speak through body language, which a lot of humans tend not to pay conscious attention to.
@@moon-moth1 While I really dislike this AI trend lately, that is a legitimately cool and helpful use of it. Now if only octopuses were more talkative, eh?
Clint, buddy, you can't casually mention that male/juvenile blanket octopuses will use man o' war tentacles as weapons, and then just move on without elaborating or showing any footage!
But really😂
For real! I want to see it!
I mean the blue dragon nudibranch from earlier in the video also steals man o war tentacles to use as weapons. It’s a surprisingly common behavior for sea creatures, especially if they regularly eat man o wars or jellies.

I especially love the ‘unidentified animal’ videos where they have the creepiest music possible playing over footage of an animal that they’ve never seen or heard of before but that is very common somewhere, to someone. Bittern was the best one, for me!
The video of the flying lemur made me super sad for that animal. It was probably so scared and may have been in pain 😢😔
Yes I feel the same way, very sad!
I didn’t realise what was going on at first. I though it was just distressed from being on the open ground next to a human. But than I realised that the situation was way worse with the line. This is absolutely not a video that should get a comedic audio. Absolutely inappropriate.
@@nablamakabama488 the audio is also extremely unfunny by it's own

I love how politely he says people are being dumb. Like hes afraid of offending someone walking abear out of their yard. 😂
I have a feeling that bear only swiped at the guy because the guy had his arm out, making the bear think he was gonna swing first, and when he didnt retaliate, the bear just left
I think the bear was trying to teach him the rule of "don't point at people with your finger"
The dude was trying to impress his friends with his bravery and humor
Good catch. It probably did look like a swing to the bear, they fight like that with other bears.
@@BriDia3i think he was trying to get the besr out of the gate calmly before someone else got hurt. But maybe
@@useyourdelusion6807That is not how you do that at all. It's much easier to look big and scary to the bear from a safer distance so that it doesn't want to stick around . Not follow it into a corner and point to the exit as if it'll understand that
I LOVE these. Doesn't have to be tiktoks, if you want to avoid the cesspool, but identifying unidentified animals is the best section
The “village crocodile” show how people could end up worshiping animals as gods and seeing them as “protectors”
or utilizing their environment to the fullest so they can collect/traverse water with minimal risk
@@theeroticsponge1256No
Exactly! I was just watching some videos about Sobek and how ancient Egyptians worshiped crocodiles in Crocodopolis.
True, especially when an animal gets as massive as saltwater crocodiles do
Sometimes I feel like religion is because kids didn’t understand what the parents were saying, attributed supernatural qualities to it, and it’s been a game of telephone spiraling out of control 🤪😂😂
I would LOVE a gastropod video. Everyone thinks of snails as icky but they can be so beautiful!! And even have chlorophyll and look like living little leaves!!
Clint making 1000% sure to never say that any wild animal is safe to approach. Bear seems friendly? It's going to maul you. Croc seems patient? Not for long! Just leave em be! 😂
True, the vast vast vast majority of the time, there is no good reason to approach a wild animal. The downside is huge and the upside is minimal.
I remember going to Catalina as part of a 7th grade trip for a week and there are wild bison living on the island from IIRC a movie they were brought in for in the 30s or 40s. These are wild bison, breeding. And we were kicking soccer balls at them occasionally like complete idiots when a protective mother or big bull could have easily killed us. Still amazed we were allowed to just run around on a playground with wild bison roaming around.
He didn't say anything about secretly surviving sauropods! As far as Im concerned, Clint's given his 100% approval to not just appproach but touch, play with, even feed any non-avian dinosaur I come across.

Seeing that blanket octopus glide past your boat could easily make a person believe in mermaids. Imagine long red flowing hair and an iridescent tail. The ocean is a crazy and wonerful place.
That's what i was thinking! I wonder if they had any part in the myth of mermaids....
They must have had their part! It completely makes sense 😊😅
i know close to nothing about animals and i was like “is that an octopus??” but called myself stupid. then i found out it actually was and i was confused on how i guessed that right 😭
Why we like these videos is, not the tiktoks its, how much does Clint know... like just generally... these are the conversations we would have with you in person.
That sleeping mama whale was hands down the craziest animal moment I have seen so far. I have NEVER seen a whale sleep with it's tail out of the water like that!
Same! I thought they would sleep with their head poking out so they could breathe normally 😮
I wonder if she wanted to make sure her calf stayed close to the surface while she slept?
My guess is it stayed near the surface to protect the baby.
Have you ever seen a whale sleep without its tail out of the water?
@@katelillo1932 I'd assume it's easier to keep their tail up because more of their body mass is located towards their head instead of tail. In this case, sleeping with most of your head out of the water (whales can't breathe through their mouths unless they have an atavism condition) would be like trying to sleep while balancing a top on its tip; it's a point of unstable equilibrium. I'm guessing in calm water, their body is probably most stable in a vertical position.
The last Bigfoot one literally looked like someone walking around in a Chewbacca cosplay.
The Owl at the end was an Eurasian Eagle Owl. I used to work with them quite a bit, and I'd recognize those patterns and face anywhere! They're basically the Eurasian, larger version of the Great Horned Owl.
I thought so. The video not showing the distinct eye color threw me. Thank you! It's freaky how human the face looked on video though.
Cool! I know next to nothing about owls, but my first thought was eagle owl! I’m going to assume this is correct, because then I was also right! lol
Could be an Indian Eagle-Owl? They are extremely similar to Eurasian Eagle-Owls, to the point where they used to be considered a subspecies.
@@DJFracus It very much could be. Without much to tell me how big it is I can't be certain. It's colours are close enough to be either one, and I can't tell their patterns apart.
Agreed. I used to work with them too and very much looks like one.

The bear one was painful to watch. Despite what you might hear in media, almost all bear "attacks" are actually provoked by people acting stupid like that.
Not where I'm from.
I just think of the Grizzly Man and how he died.
Yeah. Trying to escort it out is one thing. But standing in front of it and pointing to the exit is absurd. It's a wild animal, it won't understand your human gestures
Yeah. At one point that guy had the bear cornered and that’s a bad thing to do to almost any wild animal, but to do it to a bear must be the supreme height of stupidity.
Then he had himself cornered with the bear in front of him, which is also stupid! If the bear decides to get rowdy, he had no chance at escape at all.
Even with skittish house cats I am careful not to corner them or corner myself because both are a good way to get scratched or bitten by a scared animal that wants you to go away and thinks it has no other choice.
I take that kind of care with cats, or hamsters, or pet mice, but this guy is out here blundering around and cornering a friggin _black bear_ !
Bears that are "comfortable" with and accustomed to being around people are some of the most dangerous ones. When they are in a good mood (like this one is) they seem to be pretty harmless and easy to deal with. But, if it ever gets aggressive or stressed these guys would have been a mess.
XD Clint‘s trauma with the „who would win“ books is still strong! 😂
He's not alone!
When i was a child in the bayous of louisiana, my grandpa, an alligator trapper, kept a large, bull gator near the fishing camp well fed and socialized so that the kids can be safe when we would come to the camp.
Sorry for the ignorance, not any sort of expert, but how does the gator keep the kids safe? Is it just a matter of scaring off other, more aggressive ones?

The one with the friendly tiger shark, theres a story behind it.
The man in the video in the past helped her with a fishing line that was stuck on her while he was diving, ever since then she likes to interact with him whenever he dives in the area
About sharks, two things:
1. I saw some studies from biologists, mostly studying California great whites, stating that these sharks have one of the best eyesight's from all sea creatures, and that is very, VERY unlikely that they mistake surfers for sea lions or seals. What these biologists think happens is that the shark just happens to be passing by when a surfer is there and that the shark doesn't know if that "thing" is something that they can eat or not, so the only way to find out is by biting the surfer.
2. Another thing is that great white burn tremendous amounts of energy regularly, so they need to feed on high fat sea mammals, which means they actively chose to not eat anything that isn't a sea mammal due to the fact that they need high fat diets in order to not die, and if they digest other prey that cannot replenish that energy effectively, they will burn more energy than they get from the prey itself only from digestion, which is really interesting, they are really not looking to eat people at all!
Thank you for you comment. Not long ago I watched a video about white sharks where they explained how these sharks live and why they bite people and I was realy confused when Clint said the myth about Surfers looking like sea lions.
I think Clint is just not up to date. I mean it's impossible to know every New Informationen about animals
Eating something other than a sea mammal probably wouldn't take more energy to digest than the energy in the food. It's just that sharks can better spend their digestion time on something more nutritious.
to be fair theres plenty of humans especially off the coast of cali that have plenty enough fat for a shark to want to eat them lol. though they arent the same people that are out surfing and things regardless. (also i do believe the eyesight thing but given they can be tricked by just a regular black pad that looks even less like a sea lion than a humans limbs hanging off a surfboard i find it hard to believe its good enough that they know people on boards arent sea mammals)
Bru you kind of just reiterated what he said in #1 😭
This makes me wonder whether you could run a programme where you teach wild sharks that things which smell like surfboards aren't edible. I don't know if they're social enough to pass the information on between each other. Doping the surfboard with something which smells distinctive --- not necessarily bad, just something that makes it clear that this isn't a sea lion --- might help. It could be as easy as mooring foam buoys doped with this stuff out in shark territory. They bite this, discover it's not edible, so that they know not to try when they come across a surfer which smells similar.
That bear just didn’t understand why he wasn’t invited to the party 😂
The fact that he opened the door for the bear. Like bruh, that’s the tiniest, most useless fence. A person could clear that. It was probably more effort for him to squeeze through the gate than jump it.
Maybe he was concerned that the bear would break it if it wasn’t open.
Man should have been satisfied it didn't decide to break his spine.
He was showing off to his guests trying to be brave and funny
That dude was a total asswipe, he subjected everybody present to a high potential of becoming witness to a mauling.
Animals are lazy, give them an easier way to do something and they'll do it.
39:18 LOVE how it sounds like “a lot of times they don’t have hands”

In that second video, if anything that bear is in danger. Bears that get too used to humans get killed.
The strangest place you can find bull sharks is golf course water features after a flood. It's a surprisingly common occurrence.
I appreciate the fact that Clint is a fellow biologist that gets really excited by things he's not seen yet. I'm sorry to say that the longer you are a biologist the less you get to find new weird things, but I'm a few decades in and I'm still finding new things or at least new information about old things. I also adore watching other people get to experience oh my gosh look at this crazy new thing. Sharing interesting critters with people is one of my favorite things.

Those I actually knew the American Bittern. It was about 4 or 5 years ago, a friend and I was taking the back way to the zoo. When I saw a bird on the side of the road with its head straight up.
We both were like “what was that?” My friend is a lifetime bird watcher, didn’t know. We actually stopped in the middle of the road and watched it cross.
So when we got back to her house, we pulled out all her bird books until we found it. She keeps a bird diary, she wrote down the date, time and what she was doing when she saw it for the first time.
Thank you for your videos. I appreciate you and your crew and all the work you do.
Everglades would be brackish and definitely a bull. They're terrifying but anyone who grew up in Florida would tell you sticking any part of your body into unclear water is a way to get got.
Seriously! Dude was lucky it was a small bull shark and not a gator, he could’ve lost his hand or even his life. Absolutely insane thing to do and the guy filming is repeatedly warning him not to.
Yep! It's why we were all told to never swim in canals.
@@fuunygurl10 If you look right after the guy fell in, you could see where his hand very quickly brushed the edge of the boat, and left a blood mark. It must have been a pretty big gash if that much blood came out that quickly.
Sharks are such friends. They're so cute and curious. Of course, not as friendly as manatees (I love manatees), but they're so misunderstood and deserve many pets.
As a watcher of Casual Geographic, seeing those blue dragon things made me tense up. And you didn't even mention that holding them could be a not so great decision LOL I was expecting it because Casual Geographic always zeroes in on that.
Yup, just like the blanket octopus, they can collect the venomous spikes from man O Wars and use them for their own defense. So, while not inherently dangerous themselves, picking them up is like picking up a man O war.

@@ferretyluv They’re not though, they’re based on a 235 pound black bear that was all beat up and tied to a tree. Teddy Roosevelt felt bad and didn’t want to shoot it.
@@annataymond9529 235lb black bear is a baby. Full grown, they’re 500lbs.
I stumbled upon you by accident when I was doing titanoboa research and I just fell in love with your content it's so fascinating and I love how calming your voice is. Thank you for your videos.
25:28 I was waiting for the video to end and Clint to say, "That's a plastic bag."
Me too 😂
Or a lost fishing net lol
As a floridian that alligator just wanted a little fishy. Gib him fishy.
The last "Bigfoot" definitely looked like a Ghillie suit. The camouflage was very well matched to the environment of proper Ghillie suits tend to be. Also, while perhaps not consistent with actual military activity, that was a classic "Call of Duty" crouch walk.
It looked cgi to me alot
I’m pretty sure that clip was confirmed to be someone dressing up near a popular tourist spot in order to garner attention
Sharks are a lot like human babies. They put stuff in their mouths to find out what it is. It's like babies with 3 rows of 48 razor-sharp teeth
Don't be like Mike with the bear. I suspect Mike had enjoyed a beverage or 6 before escorting the bear to the gate.
Definitely! Neither one of the guys in the video were walking straight! I bet he freaked when he saw the footage after he sobered up....he actually doesn't come across as someone that sobers up,
He really showed how strong of a man he was by confronting the non-aggressive bear that was trying to avoid conflict
Clint’s stare of wonder at 46:06 was so intense they replayed the clip and the amazement never left his face!
PS: I thought it was a jaguarundi.
I love these types of videos, I love it when I go "hahaha lol this is fake I wonder how they faked it" only for clint to say "this is a snout-nosed sniffer schnoz, native to south-west-east madagascar, they're SUPER cool and here's why"
i love myself a snout-nosed sniffer schnoz
lmao this is such an underated comment i giggled
Yeah, the "bittern", I could have SWORN was CGi (but I'm watching on a tiny phone screen;. I didn't see a bird, at all- I saw some weird, cartoonish, bipedal mammal, kinda half-kangaroo, half "Where the Wild Things Are")
a wild alligator coming up to a boat full of people like a puppy expecting treats from visitors is something i thought i would never see and it just makes alligators cuter to me
So much of the “unidentified animals” reminds me of the whole UFO thing. Anything is an Unidentified Flying Object/Animal if you’re bad enough at identifying things!
maybe they're the same people who think birds aren't real, so when they see one they have no idea what it is
"secret footage of a strange creature" HAVE YOU NEVER HEARD OF OWLS ?
@@kitkatboard yea that one was hilarious to me😭 how do you even use the internet and grow to be an adult without having at least seen a picture of an owls face. I didnt even know they lowered their head in their defensive posture but it was so obviously just a regular old owl that it was insane to see someone take the video, edit, and post it without realizing its just a very well known bird
Genuinely, this is one of my favorite series on UA-cam. I really really hope you keep doing these reactions. I just love hearing what all you have to say about each thing. It's both fascinating and like hanging out with a friend.
I once saw what looked like people in giant beaver costumes in the middle of the woods holding sticks. To this day I have never been able to figure out what I saw.
Blud found a cult
Smoky the bear cosplay?😂
beaver furries...?
Probably depends on what type of drug you were on.
I really love your calm and very factual breakdown of these!
Yay for Muntjak mention! And also that Blanket octopus looked amazing! The Jaguarundi is actually exactly that, according to Lindsay Nicole here on UA-cam, who's pretty into cats (not gonna call them big cats, since they're not). She has repeatedly shown this clip in her videos and shorts.
this is the only format in which i want to ingest tiktoks XD
about that social poison thing... they do kinda inject it into us sometimes, no? altho i guess you do have to install the app to let it inject anything into your feed...
I do not do tick tock otherwise!
Holey... that dude with the crocodile had my heart in my threat the whole time. Your explanation makes that experience so awesome thnx!
Clint is so chaotic wholesome. The best kind of wholesome
The first footage of bigfoot was just the shadow of a bird on the mountain, like the camerman said "it's a bird"
Re: the Great White Shark 'bump':
This is a common behaviour with sharks. They bump a potential prey item, their rough skin knocking off skin etc that the shark then tastes/smells (chemoreception in water basically means that both senses are much the same for a fish), and get an idea of how palatable said item is. Lucky for the diver, Great White's don't like the taste of neoprene.
That's actually why humans wear wetsuits, humans used to get eaten all the time so we started coating ourselves with the worst-tasting materials we could.
come back for more real internet facts
10:11 aww the bear just wanted to join in with the picnic and I like to think when he smacked the guy the bear was saying "ffs yes I'm going quit rushing me I know when I'm not wanted, damage humans hogging all the fun"
I gotta love how 'who would win' book became this channel's Resident Demon.
Them and AI Clint are my nemeses...
@@ClintsReptiles 🤣😂
At 50:00: Depending where it was taken, maybe an Eurasian Eagle Owl? We got quite a few of them around here and I directly thought about them, when seen it.
That mutjack deer literally looks like a fever dream from a science fiction author 😂😂 I woke up to a black bear sniffing my head through a screen when I was a kid. I'm so glad my body choice freeze out of all the automatic responses. As soon as it walked away I slammed my window shut and went screaming for my mommy! Bed was moved at first light 😂😂😂
At 48:30 nudibranchs are awesome. Zefranks video about them is wonderful.
I grew up in Montana and they teach you from very young how to handle bear encounters. The closest encounter was a young black bear while hiking in the Bob Marshall Wilderness. I walked around a corner and this huge black shape leaped out of the bushes right next to me and onto a nearby tree, and just hung there and looked at me, maybe 8 feet away.
Normally you want to stay still when near a bear, but in this situation I thought it felt cornered, so I backed up slowly to give it room to leave. After a few seconds it hopped down and away, stopping to look at me a few times.
One thing i find extemely facinating with sharks is their dental plan, they spent so many evolution points on that skill tree.
Not only they grow new rotating set all the time because they tend to lose them, but they also have such high fluorite concentration, that they literally cant get cavitys in their teeth even if they dont shed/lose them.
50 years ago a park ranger told us: "A bear is stronger than a human, runs faster than a human and climbs trees better than a human. If the bear wants to get you, there is not a darn thing you can do to get away. Stay away from the bears." I have never forgotten that very good advice!
You don't have to be faster than the bear, you just have to be faster than the other person you're with :B
What a delight! The last TikTok video and this one were wonderful! I love that you cover a wide variety of animals and topics in one video. I'd definitely love to see more!
Thanks Clint now I'm manually breathing
Thanks Lymborium, now I'm manually breathing, again
@roboman260 Great now I'm doing it again
Same. Also, you’re now manually blinking. You’re welcome :)
@@HomeSlice97 Manually blinking and breathing. Again. My day couldn't be better
I'd like to like this but it's at 69 likes and I can't ruin that
The most intense thing about this video is clint just staring into your soul for the duration of the tiktoks
The dude with the clear kayak also has a clip where a water snake comes up, check the kayak out, then swims away. May have two like that actually. Its a crazy thing to see too, one is a weird species thats quite large - maybe a yellow belly sea snake? Awesome vid!
Yes it was a sea snake!
The guy with the salt water crocodile actually went out of his way to save it when it was starving! It comes to see him, and if it doesn't he'll hop on a boat and go find the croc, and it'll swim right up and say hi! then he gives it some food, plays around a lil, then leaves it alone
I knew the croc had to have been well trained, but seeing the man splash next to the face of that saltwater made my heart skip a beat.
I gotta say that watching your face during some of those videos- phew! Intense af. The way you looked so locked on and your brow furrowed and your eyes had this incredible sharp keen look in them, it was almost my favorite part of the whole video!
Please do more of these! Your content is so much fun and going over these little bite sized different pieces is great. Love it!
The blanket octopus looks so cool! They should make baby blankies that look like them. Like, blankets with a rabbit head are cute and all, but an octopus is way cooler, and if it was anatomically accurate?! Wow, that would be so cool! I would love that as an adult! And it would be a great way to start young with teaching your child biology. Once they were old enough to start learning about different animals that would be such a cool thing to show them what their baby blanket was modeled after!
Such a good idea! I may or may not be stealing your idea to make one for my daughter!
@@sophiegolightly9160 Aww! If you do let me know how it goes and maybe share the pattern?
I just love zoologists. People are like "OMG a scary unknown creature from space an unseen monster terrifying" and Clint is just like "it's a jellyfish"
I bet the guy thought he really showed that bear who's boss lol
Also skipping over the "how dangerous is it" portion for the blue sea dragon was kinda funny
Please more!!! I love the animal encounters section! I'd love to hear more about the behaviours of the animals and how to understand their intentions!!
The great white booping the back of that guy's head...not many of us have vids "and this is the time I was one electrical impulse from losing my head" LOL
