F..k your shitty pubblicity
People are just stupid when it comes to animals and NEVER follow the rules and wanna blame everyone else except for their own stupidity
I agree
@Ghost-n7i i have ZERO sympathy for people not wanting to follow the rules if they get killed or hurts its their OWN fault not the animals nor theme park when they get hit by a rollercoaster or ride etc
@@mastersword123456789 I know
Facts
ExACTLY
No animal should be put down because of something an ignorant human does. As a child I enjoyed going to zoos but now that I’m way older I realize that they are not nice places. Animals should never be removed from their natural habitat to be put on display.
Sometimes a life in captivity is better than a life in the wild with poachers
Not all zoos are bad. The one in Zurich puts a lot of effort into creating big enclosures to make the animals feel at home. Right now they are building one for lions and such. Its really cool to see.
The zoos are the last refuge for some animals that have been hunted to extinction in the wild, fueled in part by the neverending demand for aphrodisiacs in China. If none were in the zoos under captive breeding programs, then none of these certain species of animals would exist at all! There needs to be a special Go Fund Me page set up so that the international community can help fund, provide aid for the millions in China with a dire need for Viagra, Cialis etc. That way, the Siberian tigers (down to 500 in the wild!), the elephants, the scaly pangolin, the remaining rhino species can be left alone. We need to help those in China out with the vital pharmaceuticals they need so they can leave these rare animals alone! In the meantime, we're counting on the zoos and other wildlife facilities to save & propagate the few remaining representatives of many rare species, while the rest of them continue to be hunted down for the commercial they hold as aphrodisiacs in traditional Chinese medicine. Apparently herbs alone, or the myriad of combinations that Chinese herbalists are familiar with, aren't effective enough to deal with the bedroom issues that many many men in China have. Therefore, a harmonious Ying/Yang☯️style balance of concern is needed so that the needs of those living in China and that of the planet's endangered animals can be properly addressed. That way, it's a win/win for everyone.
...so truth 🙏🏼🐾🫂
Some of those animals cannot be introduced back into the wild bcse they don't have the hunting techniques needed to survive bcse of humans.
You're really testing fate when you name an alligator Darth Gator
haha indeed!
The dark side is strong with that gator (literally, with the jaws)
At least the woman apologised, most people haven’t even done that.
Tragic
The Lion or any animals should never have been put down
It's not their fault
I agree 👍 the lion was reacting to the man running away triggering a chase and predatory instinct that all cats have! He may have had more positive results if he stood his ground....maybe 🤔

The narrator is excellent! Their voice is clear and engaging, making the video so much more enjoyable to watch.
Wow, thank you!
Q: Why did a lion turn on the owner that raised him?
Answer: Umm.... it's a LION
Or maybe it wasn't fade that well..
Even in the wild, they are separated from their parents very quickly
Humans should leave animals alone in the jungle
Not much jungle left.
@@zoe486the jungle will always be there
Why do humans continue to harass and bother animals? Not only is it disrespectful, its dangerous!
One simple answer…..$$$
I'm glad some people in this video acknowledge that it's not the animal's fault. Animals will do what they're programmed to do, what their DNA tells them to do. Yes, humans can definitely form bonds with animals, but we don't understand them as deeply as we think we do. And putting animals into enclosures often gives them a negative change in behavior. If you go to a predatory animal and test its patience, don't be shocked when it doesn't go well. Trying to swim with polar bears is probably the stupidest thing I've ever seen in my entire life.
Am I the only one pulling for the animals in some of these attacks
Most of these brother most
Most of these brother most
Every single time
Nope 🙅♀️ I am too
Nope
Look, I'm a medic and an EMT (attained through Army Medical Training). I'm already blunt as is. If I EVER see something like this happen, I will help and do what I can to keep you alive but the last words you might hear are "You're a fu**ing dumbass. You Fu**ed around and found out."
I'll help the animal first 😢
You,re right.My late father was in North Africa and talked about the animals he saw in Africa.He mentioned Nubian lions, if they came close to camp, they,d shoot at them, that,s one example.
I mean now there's a lady swimming with sharks? 1 guy has a octopus as a pet called lucy.. oh my god talking to it as if it's a human... ( gets all excited to see me ) like..... really????? People are commenting oh my word how cute she is.. ???? People are now saying dogs are usless... cats protect you better then dogs can.. dogs are stupid animals.. some guy has a wolf as q pet even a alligator he swims with it?????😮😮😮😮😮 Wtf has this world come to? People are getting dumber and dumber 😊
Instead of putting down an animal it's important to educate humans to respect their habitat
I hate the way we kill a animal for there natural instincts even though we are the ones that keep them in capacity 😢 its sickening! I hate humans 🤬
Dang, we humans get a lot of hate.. and Yes Ik why, we're destructive and treat animals bad, even caused species to go extint....
I wanna be a different animal, I'm tired of being apart of the bad guys
So you hate yourself?
@@Mrs_Green125 Hey if I talk to God and asked if he can turn me into a different animal(Grizzly Bear, a Maned Wolf, or a Falcon), you think he'll do it?
No sometimes its not a human mistake though.
@OriFan4Life2 that would be great or to at least come back and be one in the next life 🥰 not another stupid human 😂
I detest zoos and aquariums. These animals need to be free in their own habitat unless they are endangered. It's not fair to blame the animals when things go wrong. They are doing what comes naturally but then they have to pay with their lives, it's totally the people's fault.
People just bein’ stupid, animals just being animals, go animals 👍
Deadliest Zoo attacks.
Me: "Rock the f*ck on.
VIDEO: Close calls only, no deadly attacks
Me: "Well... damn."
LOL still a fun video! Well done!
I really really angers me that animals get euthanised because of human stupidity
The woman who jumped into the part bear exhibit was suffering from depression and was attempting to take her own life, sad
Looks like she changed her mind kinda quick.
Still dumb
Wait ✋️ so I shouldn't jump into a lions den ? That's crazy news
Should not put animals down because of the stupidity of humans.
What's messed up Is that
They take these animals out of the wild just to have them stuck in these cages and they put them down if people fall in the cage. Why is it animals have to die for people's choices?
These poor bloody animals kept in cages and enclosures with humans gawking at them, none of which is natural, and can only be described as animal cruelty.
Natural and nature is very cruel. Hunger, disease and all die with suffering at the end. They don't just get old and die peacefully in nature, they die in fights, starvation, injuries, disease, no pain killers, no peaceful euthanasia. Life in a zoo is an easy, peaceful life.

Jaguar:"I was enforcing the privacy & trespassing laws.",☺️
It's almost as if these animals are acting like animals.

The orangutan:
"You listen here bub i want a cheesecake and 17 gunmy worms"
Call me insensitive, cold or whatever, I feel empathy for none of these people shown in the video. For me it's just wild animals living a miserable life in enclosures showing humans how stupid they really are. Just a few rightful paybacks from nature.
ps: I understand the point of zoos helping preserving some species but obviously, many, likely the vast majority, exist and keep animals for the only purpose of people's amusement and somebody making money out of it.
*That guy with the lion is an absolute* 🤡:
1) enters pen w/ agitating odor present
2) thinks he has “unbreakable bond” w/ lion
3) turns his back and RUNS, triggering predator instincts guaranteeing the attack.
And gets the lion killed.
Cats in general go insane if they smell weird stuff. House cats will try to kill their owner if they can't recognize their smell and smell something else. They literally go by smell to recognize their owners and such. The lion probably had no idea that was his owner if the smell was strong. K9s can recognize faces too, but cats can't seem to.
I was at the wildlife zoo in Arizona when the jaguar incident happened. I didn’t see it happen but I was there at the exact time and day.
Why was the lion euthanised when it is human stupidity that resulted in the incident?
Was not any fault of the lion...what a tragedy.
It was? He killed his own keeper and he knew it was him
@hamzaabdulkhaleq3396 I think you need to watch the video again lol. The keeper turned his back on the lion and invoked it's hunting instinct so it's not the lion's fault ....Keeper also survived with a smile...(to be fair, the keeper probably did not blame the lion either).
And yes, the lion was euthanized unjustly.
@@hamzaabdulkhaleq3396 When did he kill a keeper? The keeper here survived and was smiling for his photo while in recovery. Did he kill someone else after this event? I don't think that was mentioned here if it did.
Are you on drugs ?
He should not of been killed it was the man's fault for going in with the lions.
Finally. One of the zoos with the black jaguar did not put down the animal for the stupid influencers mistake.
Wild animals belong IN THE WILD!!!!!
Literally just respect the boundaries and these animals won’t die like it’s not there fault that they attacked it’s their instinct
I appreciate breeding programs, but other than that they shouldn't be in cages
They should be battled against other animals so we can finally see which ones would prevail instead of just talking about it or using limited examples online.
i watch youtube a lot and haven't seen you in years. i said, "it's pepper!" lol. good to see you on a vid again, good work
A polar bear will stalk you for dinner
There's been two people and a small child just recently deleted in Alaska in two separate incidents.
Thank you for speaking out for these poor animals!
the excess use of unrelated stock footage in this video is really distracting... =/
2:18 to skip the sponser😂❤❤❤
It’s lowkey sounds like a good app tho.. don’t stop his bag lol..
All animals should be in their environment.
I wouldn't taunt a caged animal because i'm not a bloody moron.
I wouldn't taunt anything that could possibly eat, maul or maim me on a whim.
This would never happen if these animals were in their own habitat.
Idk the proper story, but at a zoo in the UK (i think Hamilton Zoo) one of the workers either died or got injured from a white tiger :(
Im hoping they survived, but idk..
When the pollo bear tried to attack the seal it made me feel so bad that the seal was just chilling and the pollo bear jumped out of nowhere and tried to attack the little cute seal. Like if you also felt bad (optional)
I do feel bad for the seal 🦭
but I guess Polar Bears do gotta eat if their hungry? 🐻❄️ 🥩
I feel really bad they are putting these amazing animals down due to stupid people. It breaks my heart.
RIP Shamba. Way to go Mike! Bravo
Don't keep animals in zoos.
Full stop
Loved the way you presented the stories in this video! It's crazy how some people just don't respect the wild, thinking they can get too close. But honestly, isn’t it a bit hypocritical to visit zoos for entertainment and then be shocked when an animal reacts instinctively?
Darth gator was simply following the rule of 2.
The alligator one, he clearly thought she was giving him food. He didn't even lunge. Her hand was there, right near his face. He bit it thinking it was being offered. He thought she didn't let go of the 'food'. He had his eyes closed. He kept trying to get the 'food'. Random people jumped on him. He let go.
Video duration 16:00 minutes, explaining 14:00 minutes attacking video clips 2:00 minutes 😂😂
Kids would have thought it was the best birthday party they had ever been to.😅😅
The lady with the polar bears 🐻❄️ I’ll blame coca cola 😒
Bro, just go straight to the videos
Man! At 6:56, that lion cracking that window. 😮
I want this man drummed out of Show Business
Polar bear:"I was enforcing the privacy & trespassing laws".😁
Bro no just poler bear no that's not how you do it and i.m a. Fox so I am a animal not irl but still
😢
I'm not going to the zoo ever again
😅😅😅😅 Hahaha
A 700 pounds Tiger?
Yeah sure, why not...
Not sure what you’re “yeah sure”-ing about?.. Siberian and Bengal Tigers can both reach 700lbs especially in captivity
@LiveFreeOrDie2A
He should've mentioned that in his video, I know obese captivity animals can be heavier, I can say: Polar Bears can reach 2000 pounds, which is I believe a record for a captive Bear, Bart the Bear was 1700 pounds.
Plus that stupid 650 psi Lion bite force, they mean to tell us that Some Dogs, Wolves and Gorillas have a stronger bite force than the Lion?
I hate it when people don't properly provide well researched information to the public, either do it right or don't.
@@bttawfiq Yep, lions actually have a relatively weak bite force for a carnivoran of their size. They rely more on body weight and numbers to bring an animal down and choke it, rather than on crushing jaw power. Despite (because of?) this, you very often find people saying 'this animal had a bite force THIS MUCH STRONGER than an African lion!' to prove how powerful it is, because we all love to think of lions as icons of power. Of course they're powerful, but they don't need the strongest crushing bite in the world to do it.
@whitmerule2753
While your analysis makes sense, it still doesn't explain why a Rottweiler has the same bite force, or how lone male Lions are able to take down Buffalo and Giraffe then chocke them out with the neck bite (we all have seen the videos on TH-cam, several)
Plus, if numbers are a factor, then Hyenas and Grey Wolves won't need that 1000 psi crushing bite force!
@@bttawfiq Because there are more ways to overpower prey than to crush its bones. (Just ask a t. rex vs a giganotosaurus or spino!)
You're implicitly equating bite force with effectiveness as a predator. But there's a lot of different ways to hunt, and every animal adapts differently. Snakes and birds of prey, for example, have fairly weak jaw muscles - macaws' jaws are much stronger than those of eagles, because a macaw has to crack very hard nuts, whereas an eagle just has to pin prey with its powerful hind limbs and rip off bite-sized chunks (neck muscles, not bite force).
Lions aren't trying to crush a buffalo's bones. That would be practically impossible. Their tactics are basically piling onto the prey, combining shock and exhaustion with attempting to choke off the air supply by hoping one of them gets the throat. Blood loss and the sheer impact of heavy bodies play a factor too. Their shoulder and arm muscles are formidable weapons and more than enough to keep them attached to their prey while they try to clamp down on the weak area with their jaws.
As for rotties and hyenas - rotties have been bred as guard dogs to hang on with a defensive grip, and hyenas are literally crushing and eating bone. Hyenas aren't really using that to hunt, but to consume parts of the prey that other predators can't access easily.
They are wild respect them…some people are foolish
I don't understand why you only show 3 seconds of the real video, & 35 clips of every videos. This video needs a new title
Because this is TH-cam, not some random gore site
😂😂 i stopped watching. I have already seen clips of the 3 seconds incidents on the video before. No need to waste my time.
Good advice ❤
I thought humans are supposed to have the largest brain obviously not
I have not visited a circus or a zoo for decades. I cannot bear the misery of the animals
It's lack of respect! People are so arrogant. You don't just walk into their territory. 😡
14:15 Who is this guy??
Animals should never be captured and placed in zoos for stupid humans to gawk at them. Let them roam FREE in the wild where they belong. I feel so sad when i see animals in cages.😭😭😭
There is not much difference between your hairstyle and lion’s.
Honestly zoos shouldn't be a thing unless it's to save endangered species ....like most people I liked zoos as a child and once I grew up and once arrested myself... those animals deserve to be free where God made them to be
3:12 polar bears foot looks like another animals head 🤔
wait till u see the 7 meter crocs over here in australia 😂
It may be a good idea not to keep gigantic wild predators in zoos.
Especially when you have stupid people visit the zoo…
Supermaxxed prison lol
What do you want to be when You grow up son ' I'd like to do survival videos for the zoo'
11:48 "the jaguar is not at fault for the woman being stupid" is what she probably wanted to say
Yelling, clapping and trying to distract the tiger is a good move, but I'd hardly call it heroic. Heroes typically risk their own well-being to help another person. The onlookers were safely behind a steel enclosure and had nothing to lose. If that makes them heroes, then we're all heroes, and if we're all heroes then what's the big deal?
Killing animals that humans CHOOSE to keep knowing the risk should never be killed. Leave them alone and stay away from them. They do what they know.
The Kaleningrad one got me thinking... I feel like people shouldnt continue filming when someone is about to get got by an animal
Save the lengthy ad for the end and ill watch it.....i promise
Lovely reminder that captive does not mean friendly. Dont be an idiot, dont poke the bear
Alle sowas von selber schuld.. ich habe null Mitleid mit diesen Menschen..🤨
these crocs becames a very expensive bags 😂😂😂
Didn’t this guy used to host another youtube channel?
It's so sad for animal to keep in cage😢.. There should not be any Zoo in earth 🌍
If the people die from being dumb it’s there own fault
This why I tell everyone and I mean everyone. all animals do not need our protection, they do not need us, they can defend themselves and they will eventually turn on you.
The roaring lion from 5:50-5:55 is actually from my zoo
I think that cat is on drugs💀 7:56
Alligator hero was so stupid. Doing too much
That's why I don't like coming into zoos.
I never have nor would I ever "taunt" an animal, caged or uncaged.
That is not something I would ever do whether at a zoo or in the wild.
Being a Native Cherokee, I was raised to respect all animals as we are taught as children that animals are our relatives, which is why all animals understand our Cherokee language.
That's not meant as a joke either. I've spoken Cherokee to all types of animals and they've all responded to me very nicely.
Also, my Native name, Kiasax, means Bear on the Left. So, why would I disrespect any animal, when they're my relatives?
Blessings to you and yours, and wado, which means thank you, for your excellent video.

The tiger at Kaliningrad Zoo only played with her, otherwise she would have been dead within a few seconds...
I guess it’s the polar bears fault right, I am soooo sick of hearing how these dumbass people do dumbass ass shit then the animal gets murdered for instinctive behavior
I'm planning on a trip to Africa and doing a safari trip. I've had concerns because if a raccoon looks like it's going to approach me, I'd piss my pants!! So I'm still not sure. Another fear that I won't actually try is jumping into the ocean! It's not going to happen ever, and I don't even want to try.
This is one thing that bugs me,if zoos are meant for the protection of wild animals from wild human pred@ors and preserving the animals, why kl it when it acts like an animal(obviously to protect the person) but at the end of the day still goes against what it was meant for.
I could never understand killing and animal for them doing what they do. That's like getting angry at a bunch of sharks for biting you when you should have keep out of the water
Those photo ops are also terrible. They declared and detooth the animals and give them drugs to make them placid. I can't even imagine what that would be like. Having my nails and teeth removed and kept doped up while people take selfies all day, then thrown in a cage at night.
