Actually form what I’ve seen, when you’re being attacked by a big cat you want to shove your fist down it’s throat to hit it’s gag reflex then hop on it’s back then go for the eyes like he said or if you have a cutting weapon the throat again.
You ever notice that house cats hate having their ears touched? Thats because cats ears are sensitive. Its no guarantee of survival but boxing a big cats ears can be just what you need to escape it.
Funniest comment all day. So fun to imagine gaggles of geese waddling after screaming people. Someone locks themselves in a car to get away, and..... HISSS!! There's a bloodthirsty goose already in the car!!
Australian magpies aren't the same kind of bird as a crow. They're passerines and crows are corvids. ETA: Australian magpies are Artamidae, or more specifically Cracticinae.
Fun fact: not only the tiger pattern is a good camouflage, but it's prey can't distinguish orange and green, so tigers, as a matter of fact, look green to those animals, which is awesome in dense foliage.
Tigers also have mimic eyes on their ears, to seem like they have eyes on the back of their heads and have been speculated to fool or deter predators or prey!^^

It’s true that petting a tiger is an amazing feeling and experience. When I was 10, for a gift my mum and I paid for an experience at our local zoo to feed the lions during their feeding time, after we fed them in their behind the scenes enclosures one of the tigers was pacing near a fence that lead to the tiger enclosure and the keeper with us (who also worked with the tiger) asked us if we wanted to pet its back/side. The keeper was near its face while my mum and I got to pet it for about 5 minutes. We have photos of it and it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life and one I don’t think I will ever really have the chance to do again

@@Glowstick48 Eurasian Magpies have a reputation for being thieves. They like to "steal" shiny things like coins, jewelry...burning cigarette butts. There are stories of fires that were caused by magpies who deposited their glowing treasure in their nests.
11:40 Forrest is incorrect when he says that you could not train a horse to kick on command. While a difficult and time consuming thing to train, Spanish carvery horses were often times trained to rear up and flair their front legs or kick out with their hind legs on command. This was a defense for if the rider and horse were surrounded by enemy foot solders. Probably the easiest example to find of this in modern times would be the Lipizzan Stallions, which are worth looking into if anyone is curious.
I appreciate you mentioning this! Wasn't there a famous English lord that dedicated his career to those horses? Lucy Worsley made a documentary on him.
King Henry VIII trained his horses to do this as well as like do really high leaps when carrying a rider in full armour. I think what Forrest meant is, it's hard to get an average horse to do it on command. Like, if you went to your local stable and tried to get the horses there to kick on command you'd be in for a long day.
I love crows. Because when I was in high school I fed one a single chip, and it proceeded to constantly bring me little rocks and shiny things it found at the same time every day
My friend works at a farm and there is one horse in particular thats scared of plastic bags. It's so freaking funny because they have to put a plastic bag in her stall and rub it all over her to get her used to it and it looks so freakin stupid.
We had a horse at college that was scared of brooms, so if we were taking it back to the stable we had to let everybody know what we were doing, then check the whole route to make sure there weren't any brooms lying on the floor 😅
Kwansu I’ve seen two bats indoors before. We have one that lives in the corner on our front porch for about 8 years now. Almost every night I take the dog out I can peak up and see him.
"I'm not quite understanding how horse butt is the same consistency as a bounce house." Favorite quote by far! I've been kicked in the thigh by a Haflinger & didnt fall back, so that's accurate & hilarious. 🤣🤣
The comanche tribe actually did the thing with the hanging on the side of the horse. They could do it at full speed and to use the horse as a form of cover in a fight.
@@DJSkittles365 it's common knowledge in the equestrian world. The Cossacks invented trick riding and they did it better than any Indian. ua-cam.com/video/ewctVlxOPvw/v-deo.html
they shouldn’t have used “the birds.” the whole point of the movie is that the birds aren’t acting like birds should; they aren’t trying to accurately portray birds.
Adam Sagers He specifically comments on how they made that intention present by changing the birds behaviour compared to what it would be like in the wild. He points out the differences and why they chose to make these changes so I really don't see Why they shouldn't have used it?
Dalila M he was comparing how the animals behave in the movies to how the same animals behave in real life, but we already know the animals in “the birds” don’t behave normally because it’s kinda common knowledge that birds don’t group up and attack people. so there wasn’t really a point in using that movie at least in my opinion
Mark C he’s analyzing how realistic the birds’ behavior is, but the point of the movie is that the birds are crazy so we don’t need an animal expert to tell us that
They live on opposite poles of the planet. Penguins don’t live farther north than the Galapagos and Polar bears don’t live farther south than James Bay, Ontario. 6000+kms away...
@@JesseMerrick9797 I didn't get that far because I had to pause to go off about the Haast eagle he lied about too at 3 ish minutes. The haast eagle taking children was a myth. The bird, native to New Zealand, has been extinct for 620 years, and was able to carry a max of 5lbs. That's less than the average newborn.
On Joe Rogan podcast he also called a Jaguar a leopard because leopards are much larger 🤔🤔 for a wildlife expert that honestly seems to know his stuff, he says some weirdly erroneous things
it may not be very realistic to weaponize a horse kick, but there's just something about that shot thats amazing. one of my favorite moments in an action movie
Oh you mean like how Clint shoots 11 people 4 times each without reloading his six shooter? This needs to happen. As a gun enthusiast this is the most annoying thing for me in movies haha
I have to contradict Forrest here on the statement 'you couldn't command a horse to kick'. Because you can. It's called capriole and is a so-called air above the ground as taught and ridden in high levels of classical dressage. It wouldn't look like what the horse in John Wick is doing but that movement can also be trained.
I think he meant you can't just command a random horse to kick successfully, like John Wick is doing. Clearly the movie horse has actually been trained to kick on command, but you can't just walk into a stable of horses you don't know and point it's butt at someone and have it kick on command. I mean, unless those are his horses and he's specifically trained them to do this.
The Birds birds in Australia would have been Magpies, not cassowaries. Because Aussies are far more scared of Magpies- they live everywhere and there are heaps of them. Cassowaries are super dangerous, yes, but only live in far northern Qld, and there aren’t that many of them (which means they need to be protected, they’re a beautiful bird).
Melissa Burke but emus don’t fly. If it is going to be large flightless birds, the scary ones are the cassowaries. If it’s a crow type bird, it’ll be Magpies. Plus you know, they actually do swoop, so it would be heaps more accurate.
Him saying crows don't bomb out of the sky, or attack, indicates he has clearly never been to Vancouver BC during their mating season. We have friggen virtual maps that indicate the hot spots because they are so frequent.
I was just going to say the same and funnily also it was in Vancouver! I saw a woman attacked by one there and while she was flailing around she ran into the road and almost got hit by a car!
Yeah, but there's a difference between a bird dive-bombing you with the intention to kill you and a bird acting out of maternal defense. I think that's more what he meant.
dear Forrest, thank you! your 3 videos helped me to overcome acute feeling of being depressed and burned out after my exam, and to remember that I still love biology (tho molecular one). thank you! will wait for a book about all your bizarre experiences! ;)
@@harshal_bh watching the videos on his entire life doesn't change the fact that this video was full of incorrect information. Between referring to ravens and crows interchangeably, saying polar bears are predators to penguins, and that it's impossible to have a horse kick on command, his "expertise" leaves something to be desired.
18:20. While I agree that a lone penguin doesn't really have much of a chance against a polar bear, it's a bit strange that this guy doesn't know they live on opposite sides of the earth. Other then that, great show.
And bats do bite if they get trapped like the bat in the clip! We have had a local woman die of rabies because she was bitten by a bat and didn’t know that she needed a rabies shot until it was too late. Some wildlife expert he is 🤦🏻♀️
@@kimberleyjanemcnab5343 They can bite if provoked. They don't if left alone, and that's quite obviously what he meant. Even rabid bats rarely just become aggressive and attack.
For those that wondered The Haast Eagle he is talking about in the beginning was the biggest bird by weight, but not necessarily by wingspan. He got the size a bit wrong. Although they had a weight of 10-15 kg (22-33lb) for the females and 9-12 kg (20-26lb) for the males, they only had a wingspan of 8-10ft similar to the biggest living eagles now
To be fair, Crows haven't historically hurt people but another type of Corvid has; Magpie's. I think if a Crow wanted too they could do a fair bit of damage. Going for the eyes would be a pretty effective strategy. Some lady here in Australia lost her eye when a Magpie swooped her
Yeah, this really made me go "WHAT?". Like that was a ridiculous comment that made me question the expertise of the "expert". Also, I have seen children be attacked by flocks of seagulls in Spain, when the babies start to waddle around seashore towns, and I wouldn't be surprised that flocks of crows could attack if they thought their babies are in danger too...
@@davidpassadouro383 He's a herpetologist (reptile specialist). And would still probably face palm at his own mistake here. When you see him on his show he pretty clearly knows what he's doing.
Imagine having this dude in a movie theater and he just start rumbling facts and then you'll lost interest to the movie and just keep listening to him.
Best idea for a tiger horror movie or attack scene is character jumps into lake/river/ off waterfall into pool below to escape it, only for Tiger to come in and start swimming towards him.That would be far more terrifying then generic chase and lunge.
1:46 I love the break down videos and Forrest is really enjoyable to hear but just one small correction: CG did not exist when The Birds were made. (CG = computer-generated). So, these special effects were really good for this time (1963).
11:06 As a horse lover myself, I know you should never get too close to a horse's rear end. If you have to walk behind a horse while you're grooming it, make some type of sound ie. talking or singing to let the animal know that you are there. Also, the bigger the horse, the more severe the injuries can be when they kick you. BTW I think the breed of horse in that clip is either a Quarter Horse, a SaddleBred, or a Thoroughbred
There are more than one horse breed in that clip, but I guess you're referring to the "kicker". That's not the croup and hip of a Quarter or Thorouhgbred, my guess would be on a Morgan, but might be a saddlebred.
Bearded Bjorn he’s not a ornithologist, he mainly focuses on marine biology. He wouldn’t know much about birds and crows. And crows only Attack humans when defending their young or territory. That’s why most kids are attacked because they don’t know that they’re scaring the crows. In the wild a crow would never go and hunt its prey. They mainly eat fruits nuts and insects. This shows that in the wild(what he would study) they do NOT Attack. All those reports you see are due to crows living in an urban area and having to constantly watch out for people who it thinks are trying to Attack it. You clearly have little to no experience and just says stuff based on news reports, which are true, but not relevant since you can’t compare a wild crow to a crow in the city.
Solid Water I know I’m not saying he was correct. I’m saying you should pardon him because he doesn’t study crows in the town or city and wouldn’t know much. So he would talk about the ones in the woods which is wrong but it’s all he knows. Basically forgive him and don’t give him such a tough time
Solid Water he can’t choose the movies and they aren’t told to him until the video starts. That’s why there are some mistakes. Also, if u did some research he studies and specialises in Animals on the brink of extinction(critically endangered). Crows are not and he probably knows basic knowledge about it. He is considered and expert since he is an expert in a subcategory of wildlife biology. There is almost no man who has majored or has a degree in every subcategory of wildlife biology and thus u can’t say he’s not an expert since he doesn’t know something out of his range
"Mom! Mom! We found a bat!" The kids, playing with super-soakers, accidentally knocked down a bat roosting under our deck. I grabbed a box and came out and covered the poor little bat. I then questioned all the children and determined that none of the children had touched the bat - these were 10 to 12 year olds and relatively truthful. I sent them off to go fill their super-soakers at a different hose tap. I opened one end of the box and had everyone step back to let the bat fly out when it was ready. Only then did it occur to me to called all the parents of the children who weren't mine and to tell them about the bat encounter and also to ask them to talk to their children to ensure that none of the children had touched the bat. If any of them had told me that they had touched the bat, the bat would have had to go off to the county animal control to be tested for rabies and there is no way to do that without killing the bat. After the bat was released, any child who admitted to touching it would have had to have gone for rabies shots.
I seriously was thinking he was calling them “Gen 2” penguins. As if there’s a Gen 3 out there that’s the bigger model or something...LMAO. My wildlife biology skills aren’t quite the same as Forest Galante. 😂😂
When my dad was a teenager he had a bat come into his room through an open window at night. He got up off his bed and the bat landed on his back. 63 years old and he's still creeped out by them lol.
A group of ravens can be called many things depending on location, including a “rave,” “treachery,” “conspiracy,” or an “unkindness.” I thought that was kind of interesting. :)
I will admit although not proudly that I did put my glasses on the back of my head to not get swooped by magpies only to walk into a pole.... my friends found it funny, I did not.

Forrest is incorrect when he says that you could not train a horse to kick on command.
While a difficult and time consuming thing to train, Spanish carvery horses were often times trained to rear up and flair their front legs or kick out with their hind legs on command.
This was a defense for if the rider and horse were surrounded by enemy foot solders.
Probably the easiest example to find of this in modern times would be the Lipizzan Stallions, which are worth looking into if anyone is curious.
I appreciate you mentioning this! Wasn't there a famous English lord that dedicated his career to those horses? Lucy Worsley made a documentary on him.

I think what Forrest meant is, it's hard to get an average horse to do it on command. Like, if you went to your local stable and tried to get the horses there to kick on command you'd be in for a long day.
He never said that you couldn’t

Katrin Calverley what kind of horses. . . Nvm
My friend works at a farm and there is one horse in particular thats scared of plastic bags. It's so freaking funny because they have to put a plastic bag in her stall and rub it all over her to get her used to it and it looks so freakin stupid.
We had a horse at college that was scared of brooms, so if we were taking it back to the stable we had to let everybody know what we were doing, then check the whole route to make sure there weren't any brooms lying on the floor 😅
It all really depends on the horse one of my horses freaks out at running and I can run and jump on another some are just chill and some are nuts lol
It depends on the horse’s personality cause they are veeeery personable animals
I would happily sit and watch this man talk about animals in movies for hours.

The comanche tribe actually did the thing with the hanging on the side of the horse.
They could do it at full speed and to use the horse as a form of cover in a fight.
Actually, Middle Eastern tribes did that, too. Maybe it was a bedouin who showed them how to do it, once they got the horses...

Paramedic reviews emergency medicine scenes in movies

"Kick Cannon!" I literally laughed out loud. Classic!!
they shouldn’t have used “the birds.” the whole point of the movie is that the birds aren’t acting like birds should; they aren’t trying to accurately portray birds.
Adam Sagers He specifically comments on how they made that intention present by changing the birds behaviour compared to what it would be like in the wild. He points out the differences and why they chose to make these changes so I really don't see Why they shouldn't have used it?
Dalila M he was comparing how the animals behave in the movies to how the same animals behave in real life, but we already know the animals in “the birds” don’t behave normally because it’s kinda common knowledge that birds don’t group up and attack people. so there wasn’t really a point in using that movie at least in my opinion
He doesnt watch the movie...idiots
He did bring up the bird sounds
Mark C he’s analyzing how realistic the birds’ behavior is, but the point of the movie is that the birds are crazy so we don’t need an animal expert to tell us that
Okay but is no one going to talk about the wildlife expert saying a POLAR BEAR is a predator for PENGUINS??

@@JesseMerrick9797 I didn't get that far because I had to pause to go off about the Haast eagle he lied about too at 3 ish minutes. The haast eagle taking children was a myth. The bird, native to New Zealand, has been extinct for 620 years, and was able to carry a max of 5lbs. That's less than the average newborn.

@@beardedbjorn5520 You're meant to believe he reloads in the time the old western actors do their "death fall"
I have to contradict Forrest here on the statement 'you couldn't command a horse to kick'. Because you can. It's called capriole and is a so-called air above the ground as taught and ridden in high levels of classical dressage. It wouldn't look like what the horse in John Wick is doing but that movement can also be trained.
I think he meant you can't just command a random horse to kick successfully, like John Wick is doing. Clearly the movie horse has actually been trained to kick on command, but you can't just walk into a stable of horses you don't know and point it's butt at someone and have it kick on command. I mean, unless those are his horses and he's specifically trained them to do this.
As soon as he said cassowary I thought: "If they would have filmed Birds in Australia it would have been a different horror movie."
The Birds birds in Australia would have been Magpies, not cassowaries. Because Aussies are far more scared of Magpies- they live everywhere and there are heaps of them.
Cassowaries are super dangerous, yes, but only live in far northern Qld, and there aren’t that many of them (which means they need to be protected, they’re a beautiful bird).
Neartmhor what about emus I mean we did loose a war to them and they can do some damage.
Melissa Burke but emus don’t fly. If it is going to be large flightless birds, the scary ones are the cassowaries. If it’s a crow type bird, it’ll be Magpies. Plus you know, they actually do swoop, so it would be heaps more accurate.
Neartmhor true but I do wonder how an emu would a) attempt to fly and b) attack people in swarms
Melissa Burke it would be pretty amusing to watch. Especially if they do that weird neck thing and dance they do when they get excited! 😂

Hitchcock's birds were not good CG or bad CG. They were hand-drawn animated birds. This guy has a great presence and a pleasant delivery.
Him saying crows don't bomb out of the sky, or attack, indicates he has clearly never been to Vancouver BC during their mating season. We have friggen virtual maps that indicate the hot spots because they are so frequent.
I was just going to say the same and funnily also it was in Vancouver! I saw a woman attacked by one there and while she was flailing around she ran into the road and almost got hit by a car!
lol thought I was the only one. vancouver also
@@toesly Hello fellow Vancouverite and stay safe during the crow season! Hah.
Yeah, but there's a difference between a bird dive-bombing you with the intention to kill you and a bird acting out of maternal defense. I think that's more what he meant.
Same in Australia, but it's territotial not vengeful haha.
"I'm not quite understanding why horse-butt is the consistency of a bounce house"

dear Forrest, thank you! your 3 videos helped me to overcome acute feeling of being depressed and burned out after my exam, and to remember that I still love biology (tho molecular one). thank you! will wait for a book about all your bizarre experiences! ;)
Magpies at least do attack in spring, when they breed. There is lots of stories of this in my town. A friend of mine was attacked by two of them.
Thank you! Ive had the same experience around the same time of year.

Between referring to ravens and crows interchangeably, saying polar bears are predators to penguins, and that it's impossible to have a horse kick on command, his "expertise" leaves something to be desired.
18:20. While I agree that a lone penguin doesn't really have much of a chance against a polar bear, it's a bit strange that this guy doesn't know they live on opposite sides of the earth. Other then that, great show.

And bats do bite if they get trapped like the bat in the clip! We have had a local woman die of rabies because she was bitten by a bat and didn’t know that she needed a rabies shot until it was too late. Some wildlife expert he is 🤦🏻♀️
@@kimberleyjanemcnab5343 They can bite if provoked. They don't if left alone, and that's quite obviously what he meant. Even rabid bats rarely just become aggressive and attack.
For those that wondered
The Haast Eagle he is talking about in the beginning was the biggest bird by weight, but not necessarily by wingspan.
He got the size a bit wrong. Although they had a weight of 10-15 kg (22-33lb) for the females and 9-12 kg (20-26lb) for the males, they only had a wingspan of 8-10ft similar to the biggest living eagles now
Heaviest *flying* bird, I assume! Though NZ did also have the heaviest bird, full-stop, right? The moa.

Aren't penguins and polar bears living on opposite poles?
Anyway, love that guy!
The polar bears only eat the movie cgi penguins on the north pole. ;)
I thought the same. I’m sure he knows that and it was a momentary lapse/slip. Very entertaining video otherwise
To be fair, Crows haven't historically hurt people but another type of Corvid has; Magpie's. I think if a Crow wanted too they could do a fair bit of damage. Going for the eyes would be a pretty effective strategy. Some lady here in Australia lost her eye when a Magpie swooped her
That's a magpie. Magpies ARE a different species than Crows!
@@zaynes5094 he says that? Whats the point of ur post lol
Magpies aren't actually corvids, they are more closely related to butcherbirds.
Wildlife expert: Says how penguins are going to loose against polar bears one on one
Me: Polar bears in Antarctica ?
Yeah, this really made me go "WHAT?". Like that was a ridiculous comment that made me question the expertise of the "expert". Also, I have seen children be attacked by flocks of seagulls in Spain, when the babies start to waddle around seashore towns, and I wouldn't be surprised that flocks of crows could attack if they thought their babies are in danger too...
I thought I was the only one

@@davidpassadouro383 He's a herpetologist (reptile specialist). And would still probably face palm at his own mistake here.

Lol haha yeah that would be hilarious
Best idea for a tiger horror movie or attack scene is character jumps into lake/river/ off waterfall into pool below to escape it, only for Tiger to come in and start swimming towards him.That would be far more terrifying then generic chase and lunge.

11:06 As a horse lover myself, I know you should never get too close to a horse's rear end. If you have to walk behind a horse while you're grooming it, make some type of sound ie. talking or singing to let the animal know that you are there. Also, the bigger the horse, the more severe the injuries can be when they kick you. BTW I think the breed of horse in that clip is either a Quarter Horse, a SaddleBred, or a Thoroughbred
There are more than one horse breed in that clip, but I guess you're referring to the "kicker". That's not the croup and hip of a Quarter or Thorouhgbred, my guess would be on a Morgan, but might be a saddlebred.
GQ: "Ravens & crows... they're not aggressive animals...no one has ever been attacked by a crow"
Japan & Australia: "Hol' up"
YES! Some of the stuff this guy says makes me question his authenticity
@Hazz JL not at all, but I know enough and have enough irl experience to recognize he can be full of it at times.
Bearded Bjorn he’s not a ornithologist, he mainly focuses on marine biology. He wouldn’t know much about birds and crows. And crows only Attack humans when defending their young or territory. That’s why most kids are attacked because they don’t know that they’re scaring the crows. In the wild a crow would never go and hunt its prey. They mainly eat fruits nuts and insects. This shows that in the wild(what he would study) they do NOT Attack. All those reports you see are due to crows living in an urban area and having to constantly watch out for people who it thinks are trying to Attack it. You clearly have little to no experience and just says stuff based on news reports, which are true, but not relevant since you can’t compare a wild crow to a crow in the city.
Solid Water I know I’m not saying he was correct. I’m saying you should pardon him because he doesn’t study crows in the town or city and wouldn’t know much. So he would talk about the ones in the woods which is wrong but it’s all he knows. Basically forgive him and don’t give him such a tough time
Solid Water he can’t choose the movies and they aren’t told to him until the video starts. That’s why there are some mistakes. Also, if u did some research he studies and specialises in Animals on the brink of extinction(critically endangered). Crows are not and he probably knows basic knowledge about it. He is considered and expert since he is an expert in a subcategory of wildlife biology. There is almost no man who has majored or has a degree in every subcategory of wildlife biology and thus u can’t say he’s not an expert since he doesn’t know something out of his range
"Mom! Mom! We found a bat!" The kids, playing with super-soakers, accidentally knocked down a bat roosting under our deck. I grabbed a box and came out and covered the poor little bat. I then questioned all the children and determined that none of the children had touched the bat - these were 10 to 12 year olds and relatively truthful. I sent them off to go fill their super-soakers at a different hose tap. I opened one end of the box and had everyone step back to let the bat fly out when it was ready. Only then did it occur to me to called all the parents of the children who weren't mine and to tell them about the bat encounter and also to ask them to talk to their children to ensure that none of the children had touched the bat. If any of them had told me that they had touched the bat, the bat would have had to go off to the county animal control to be tested for rabies and there is no way to do that without killing the bat. After the bat was released, any child who admitted to touching it would have had to have gone for rabies shots.
I seriously was thinking he was calling them “Gen 2” penguins. As if there’s a Gen 3 out there that’s the bigger model or something...LMAO.
My wildlife biology skills aren’t quite the same as Forest Galante. 😂😂

Umm, actually only a group of crows is a murder, a group of ravens is a conspiracy.
A group of ravens can be called many things depending on location, including a “rave,” “treachery,” “conspiracy,” or an “unkindness.” I thought that was kind of interesting. :)
