Yes and no. Would it be better if those animals where free? Absolutely. But it would be worse if they weren't there at all. And: Most "wild" animals that are held as pets are in fact bred from capivity and would propably not survive in the wild. They are not "subtracted" from the wild popularity. Even more so: Many handlers do truely care for the animal and will provide enough space, food and mental stimuly. Sure, then you'll have the Tiger King-guys but they are the minority... But those are the ones who generate more media attention, so...
@@Kremit_the_Forgnah bro, you're looking at it all wrong. Just because the cats exist doesn't mean anything. They sit in an enclosure for their entire lives and have absolutely no effect on the environment they're from. We need wild tigers. An ecosystem needs many moving parts to function properly and if tigers are completely taken out of that equation, a lot of stuff will change.
Everyone seems to love seeing pet tigers and lions on Instagram without questioning "Hey, what's that tiger doing in a guy's living room anyway?" so it's not really that surprising. Same with servals, ocelots, cheetahs, and other big cats. Bring it up with people and you'll be told you're killing the mood. Meanwhile when these "pet" owners run out of money to care for them or have some kind of accident when their actual wild animal acts like an actual wild animal and they want to ditch them, the big cat either dies or gets dumped at a rescue struggling to keep up with care for all the others that met the same fate. Write your representatives.
I do the whole quickstep thing with my little house cat whenever she tries to pounce on me. And I can confirm that it definitely works, even though she’s clearly not a lioness, a tigress, or even a cougar.
There's a saying amongst cat experts: "A cat is a cat" Even though there are obviously some important differences between the different cat species, their overall behavior is VERY similar to one another. That's why it's totally possible to keep a large predator cat as a pet - though 99.9% of people have no absolutely business doing so.
Wow!! so good to see Dr. Mark here!! I remember first hearing about his tracking work with lion prides throughout Kruger from a professor at Uni. It is essentially his work in Kruger that has inspired myself and a few others to pursue field studies on the lion populations (some of which he mentions briefly at 7:29) particularly throughout Botswana and Tanzania. If you haven't seen or read about his work, definitely check him out. Some amazing field work this man has accomplished, not just with big cats but also wolves. Nice to see him bringing factual information and busting a few fabricated myths without completely shading the work of the film industry haha. One that particularly amuses me is film depictions of apex predators making guttural and loud vocalizations (obviously for dramatic effect) as they approach a hunt. The same can be said for dinosaurs as well in some depictions, but the point is, why on earth would a hungry predator with the objective of stealth want to announce its presence?.
As a cat lover and a dedicated animal rescuer, his job is the envy of my heart. More of him please, would even better if there's a whole series on just him and big cats. Love it! ❤
10:12 I feel like in the slow-mo the tiger is moving too slow. I remember seeing a slo-mo video of a domestic cat swatting a dog's face, and the cat looked like they were moving at a normal speed while the dog was in slow motion. Cats are terrifyingly fast at striking with their paws.
The expert was great and very enjoyable to watch, but how are you not going to have him rate “The Ghost and the Darkness” with Val Kilmer and Michael Douglas? This film is based on the Tsavo man-eaters, probably the most famous historical account of a big-cat attack.
Perhaps because it was a terrible film - absolutely appalling. For the record, the Michael Douglas character is complete fiction and made up. Anyone genuinely interested in the infamous Man-Eaters of Tsavo story is better served reading the original book, by Lt. Col. John H. Patterson (the Val Kilmer character), orig. published in 1907 (and written in the style of the times).
@@alexs.1242Worst possible take. The movie could’ve used another round of edits to smooth out the pacing, but Remington is a spectacular Great White Hunter archetype, among Clayton & Roland Tembo, and it is a great Africa movie
I love all cats in all their shapes and sizes and appreciate how different yet similar in their behavior they are, from the smallest to the largest 😊 One film that is missing here and which would provide quite a bit to unpack for this gentleman, is 'The Ghost and the Darkness'. I'm hoping you bring him back for more, because I enjoy his passion for these wonderful creatures!
I was just about to complain about that. Not discussing Ghost and the Darkness in a video like this is like not discussing Jaws in a video about shark-movies.
Huh, I didn't realize there were so many cougar attacks in movies. I live in an area where cougars are pretty common, even found cougar tracks over mine when I went out on a hike once and was on my return trip, and I'm just not scared of them at all. Cougars don't attack humans very much, and even when they do the human pretty much always surprised unless they're a child. They're just really bad at killing humans, and I'm pretty sure they know it. Honestly they tend to just be incredibly shy; 99% of the time if you're in an area with a cougar you won't see them. If you _do_ see them it's usually because they spotted you and are in the process of leaving the area in a hurry, lol.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. In my experience, mountain lions - aka pumas in the southern Americas - are shy and retiring, and more inclined to run and hide than attack people. In my career as a journalist, there was one case of a mountain lion that jumped on a rider on a horse, and another (unrelated) instance of a cougar trying (and failing) to nab a jogger. In both cases, the cat was a young male in thin condition, on the verge of starvation, likely an inexperienced hunter newly separated from its mom and struggling to fend for itself on its own. A far cry from the savage, marauding beast these ratty movies often make them out to be.
Someone has never played Red Dead Redemption… (They’re one of the scariest animals to encounter because you don’t spot them. Good to know they’re not likely to go after you in the wild.)
Cat attacks of any kind are much more rare than people realize. ...but yeah, cougar attacks are extremely rare. There are something like 40k cougars in North America and on average, only about 5 of them attack a human per year. ..and if I remember correctly, less than 1 of those attacks per year is deadly. There's actually a guy in Russia who has a pet cougar named Messi and it literally lives inside the house like a normal pet. It's one of the sweetest, most chill cats I've ever seen. Lol His videos are so entertaining. They also have a pet cheetah. Cheetahs and cougars are actually close cousins when it comes to evolution.
Yepp, there are other big cat movies, The Ghost and the Darkness (1996), Prey (2007), Rogue (2020), Burning Bright (2010), Maneater (2007), the South Korean "The Tiger" (2015), and sure some I missed to mention. Also there was a Dutch movie Prooi (Prey) (2016).
Stand still, maintain eye contact, make yourself appear larger than you really are (by holding your arms out, better if you're wearing a jacket and can spread the sleeves out to look like part of your body) and most cats will quietly back off and walk away. "Whatever you do, don't run" is a common refrain in the bush, and with good reason. Cats are opportunistic hunters, and running is a trigger that you may be something worth eating, even if they're not particularly hungry at the time. It's a survival reflex in cats - all cats. Instinctive from birth.
one important thing is to note is that predators are looking for victims, not opponents, going confrontational towards big cats is generally advised, with tigers being a notable exception as all you'll accomplish there is to raise your status from prey to hated enemy. best way to survive a tiger attack is to bring a friend who's a more enticing target than you, because chances are you don't know that there even is a tiger until one of you is already dead.
That's because all predators try very hard to avoid getting hurt. The predator thinks "Okay, this one looks really tough and there's a very real chance they could permanently handicap me. I will back off because if I do get hurt, then I won't be able to get food anymore and I'll starve."
The Lion King Movie was very underrated in my opinion. As I had lived with house cats for my entire life, I was in awe about the movement and face gestures of the animated lions. It was very natural (in the setting of the movie). People bad talked this movie a lot and found it weird. But I liked, that the lions behaved very realistic. Best "cat" movie, I have ever seen.
Aww this expert is such a sweetheart! Such a gentle take on even the dodgiest of scenes. 🙂 If you have him on again I would love his take on Chunky the Death Cat from "The Croods" - I immediately thought of that film when he mentioned that hunting cats try to be as quiet as possible rather than announce their presence to their prey.
Too bad they didn't include the black jaguar attack from the movie "Apocalypto", which is pretty accurate, from what I read: this species favors a penetrating bite into the skull for the kill, as opposed to going for the throat for many other big cats.
I'd have loved to hear your opinion about a few more big cat attacks from movies: Burning Bright, Prey, Gladiator, Jungle Book, Sandokan, Tarzan, Two Brothers...
Sad fact about the Lion in Beast: The movie tried to make you view that poor cat as the main villain, when really it’s the poachers who were the main villains and what this Lion was doing was getting revenge on the group of poachers that killed its entire pride. I felt sad for the Lion I honestly don’t blame it for going rogue.
I work in Vfx industry, heart and soul goes into making everything real including animals. I can not describe here how lengthy, time consuming and detailed oriented the whole process is. thanks for mentioning it.
Good point on cats and lung capacity. People always say why are cats so lazy or sleep all day. That's because when they are hunting for food or active, it's actually a very intensive activity for them.
p.s. also Out of Africa (1985, dir. Sidney Pollack) - for me, the lioness charge was both realistic and utterly credible. Wild lions can be relatively disinterested, bored even, when you're in a vehicle, but when you're on foot it's a whole different story. Out of Africa is just a movie - Robert Redford is miscast as the real-life character Denys Finch Hatton, for starters - and completely made up, I get that. That said, I was taken aback by just how realistic that scene with the lioness in Out of Africa really is. The silences for one. Movies as a rule don't do silence well, especially not in action thrillers set in the wilds of Africa.
That was such a great movie. Beside the actual big cat thing the acting was filled with so much passion and feelings those days. I miss movies like those ones. I cannot watch a movie which is all about the spectacular action scenes and sight but no story at all.
Couple of honourable mentions of you happen to make another one of these videos. Apocalypto - There's a pretty decent panther attack. Uses a real panther (which the main actor actually ran in front of!) then switches to a fake one. Tiger: An Old Hunters Tale - Amazing CGI! *A lot* of attacks on humans, some on animals. Homeward Bound maybe? - There's a scene where a mountain lion chases two dogs, but there's no attack so to speak. But it was a real cat. The Ghost and the Darkness - About the man eating lions of T'savo. Again a lot of attacks on humans. A lot of camera angle tricks, but 99% of the shots are with real lions.
1:46 My Maine Coon didn't listen to that memo. If he is on his back he's expecting belly rubs, and loads of them, because if he doesn't get them, he'll sit on your keyboard until he does, meowing and nosebumping all day, if he has to.
At 14:48 where he says ‘..it’s the domain of the wolves!’ you could feel the dread that he has about wolves. No animals comes close to ingenuity of wolves when it comes to killing its prey, or its competitors.
Actually, wolves have significantly lower success rates than mountain lions when it comes to hunting and have been seen following mountain lions around so that when the lion makes a kill, the wolves can steal it. Researchers have also witnessed mountain lions making extra kills and storing them away to bring out later after the wolves have taken their other kill. When the researchers followed the cougar around themselves, the cougar would lead them to kill its made in an attempt to get the researchers to go away because it thought they were doing what the wolves do. Not to say wolves aren't really cool because they are, and their social dynamics are fascinating; just saying cougars are also very smart and interesting 👍
Yeah I don't think anything in this comment holds up 😅 I don't see why would a wildlife expert feel any dread towards an animal that never attacks humans. As for the ingenuity part, I'd remind you that dolphins and orcas exist.
About Beast, I agree with the lethal prognosis haha. The end of the movie shows him in a hospital and apparently he's fine, but there is no god damn way a real person would survive an attack like that. We didn't see the entire clip here, but the lion bites *deep* into the man's torso multiple times (with it's oversized fangs lol) so in real life it would have punctured multiple organs. It ripped up the guys arms and legs, torn blood vessels. So even if they got him to an operating room immediately, which they couldn't because they were in the middle of nowhere, dude would be dead. No way he'd survive.
Missed opportunity to talk about the Ghost and the Darkness, underrated movie based on a true story about lion attacks would have loved a discussion of the movie and events surrounding it.
One thing I just love about cats in general is their confidence. I think we've all seen the clips of house cats chasing away dogs, bears, gators, what have you. And while they are built for hunting, what really makes them impressive and scary is that defense mentality. It's like they're signaling that even if you can beat them, they're gonna hurt you so bad it's not worth it.
What the film "The Lion King" gets wrong is that lion families are matriarchal, not patriarchal. Males come only for mating, and often kill the cubs from a previous mating. And the film at 0:36 isn't a cartoon; it's the live action remake.
That being the ring tone on his phone is amazing to me. If I was a lion/big cat guy always surrounded by death machines, I wouldn't want to be jump scared by their voice at random places. But whatever gets the guy off. Absolute legend of a dude. very interesting stuff.
The Bear was set in an mountainous area with lots of Trees so that was accurate setting. If it was taken place more up towards Alaska than he would have a point about accuracy wise.
7:43 I can confirm this fact. I worked with several male lions in a big cat sanctuary in South Africa . I am convinced that you could ride one into battle.
Mark Elbroch's books about how to track animals are so amazing. Just by reading through his Mammals of North America tracking book, I've learned how to collect the right data to identify tracks, how to tell how an animal died, etc. So very cool and so worth checking out if you have an interest in the natural history in your area.
I've seen an impala disappear into the darkness 15m from me, just from the impact of a lioness at full tilt. Crazy how big they are, and the strength! I was on a game drive at night in South Africa, in an open Land-Rover and we came across a whole herd of impala just starting to go manic, lions were on the hunt...and after a few moments the guide swivelled the the spot light to the left, there was a split second when he stopped on an impala, it looked up at us, and then it was gone in a blur...swivel the light a bit to the right and there was the lioness right on top of its prey...all within 15m from where I was sitting in an open topped vehicle...what an experience!
I was so glad to see beast in here, one of my favorite movies relating to realism, I absolutely love how they ended the movie with the lions fighting other lions, totally realistic and awesome to see
No, no, no, NO. Dereck and Beverly Joubert are experts, Steve Winter is an expert, Dr. Laurie Marker is a top-tier expert. This guy, not in the same league.
I'm not convinced I'd ever have the confidence to try and intimidate a big cat like that, if one ever confronted me like he suggested. I definitely don't have the stamina to out run one either! It would be quite a roll of the dice on what my brain goes with.
0:43 One catch the Lions have quite weak hind legs if compared to other cats so they can't rly stand for long times on their hind legs and they generally fight with 3 legs on the ground and one striking paw. If they wrestle then the amount of time they spend on standing on the hind legs is quite low
Where I live, we have mountain lions. A huge amount of people also go hiking, backpacking, or camping often not to mention ORV usage. We’re taught as children that going into the woods we need to look around everywhere to not only watch for bears, wolves, and coyotes but also up in trees for mountain lions. We have small cats too, as bobcats are common as well.
Loved this video!! Also, “cats are predominately silent” Yeah, as a horse owner I relate. Name one horse scene in movie, the r tv; without a horse vocalization (whicker, neigh, snort etc.)
3:13 the Jaguar would not approach and attack pray in that way. Jaguars have the second strongest jaw of any animal, this means it hunts in a different way to all other cats. It's aim is to bite on the skull and it does this by sneaking up from behind and jumping onto that back, this is because it's jaws are so powerful it will penertrate straight through the skill and into the brain, bascially an inst-kill. It's interesting that they rarely go after humans as it is known that they will go after anything that walks into their terroirty from bears to crocodiles.
Definitely, i love seeing experts talk about something they’re knowledgeable and passionate about, they’re always so excited and it’s always so wholesome lol.
Everything mentioned is spot on, just one small note, the Lion King scene, when Cats are fighting and one rolls onto its back, it’s primarily a Submissive behaviour “I’ve lost, please leave”, if the fight continues they will try to get back onto all fours, then go back down on their back to submit once again.. they have a small advantage of all four paws facing up when on their backs but they won’t try to take advantage of that 👍🦁
I saw a show about the making of L'ours/The Bear, and what Dr. Mark said is spot on. The director noted that it was very hard to get the mountain lion to come anywhere near the bear cub. It wanted no part of her.
To be fair, the lion in Beast was definitely fatigued and hurt from all the restless killing throughout the movie and the fact that he was burnt from the previous car scene so it's fine that the guys survives in my opinion. I'm no big cat expert but this is still convincing enough.
This guy is the kind of teacher that will rate your paper: "You barely knew about the topic, you arrived to a conclusion with no procedure, your conclusion was pulled from chatgpt...but you showed great curiosity during class, 7/10"

Many handlers do truely care for the animal and will provide enough space, food and mental stimuly.
Sure, then you'll have the Tiger King-guys but they are the minority... But those are the ones who generate more media attention, so...
@@Kremit_the_Forgnah bro, you're looking at it all wrong. Just because the cats exist doesn't mean anything. They sit in an enclosure for their entire lives and have absolutely no effect on the environment they're from. We need wild tigers. An ecosystem needs many moving parts to function properly and if tigers are completely taken out of that equation, a lot of stuff will change.
@@Kremit_the_Forgi honestly have no clue what I'm talking about, but it sounds good, no?
Everyone seems to love seeing pet tigers and lions on Instagram without questioning "Hey, what's that tiger doing in a guy's living room anyway?" so it's not really that surprising. Same with servals, ocelots, cheetahs, and other big cats. Bring it up with people and you'll be told you're killing the mood. Meanwhile when these "pet" owners run out of money to care for them or have some kind of accident when their actual wild animal acts like an actual wild animal and they want to ditch them, the big cat either dies or gets dumped at a rescue struggling to keep up with care for all the others that met the same fate.

I do the whole quickstep thing with my little house cat whenever she tries to pounce on me. And I can confirm that it definitely works, even though she’s clearly not a lioness, a tigress, or even a cougar.
There's a saying amongst cat experts: "A cat is a cat"
Even though there are obviously some important differences between the different cat species, their overall behavior is VERY similar to one another.
That's why it's totally possible to keep a large predator cat as a pet - though 99.9% of people have no absolutely business doing so.
they may not be a big cat, but they sure think they are!

Wow!! so good to see Dr. Mark here!! I remember first hearing about his tracking work with lion prides throughout Kruger from a professor at Uni. It is essentially his work in Kruger that has inspired myself and a few others to pursue field studies on the lion populations (some of which he mentions briefly at 7:29) particularly throughout Botswana and Tanzania. If you haven't seen or read about his work, definitely check him out. Some amazing field work this man has accomplished, not just with big cats but also wolves.
Nice to see him bringing factual information and busting a few fabricated myths without completely shading the work of the film industry haha. One that particularly amuses me is film depictions of apex predators making guttural and loud vocalizations (obviously for dramatic effect) as they approach a hunt. The same can be said for dinosaurs as well in some depictions, but the point is, why on earth would a hungry predator with the objective of stealth want to announce its presence?.
Thanks for the informative comment, just got his survival book!
Cool
As a cat lover and a dedicated animal rescuer, his job is the envy of my heart. More of him please, would even better if there's a whole series on just him and big cats. Love it! ❤

10:12 I feel like in the slow-mo the tiger is moving too slow. I remember seeing a slo-mo video of a domestic cat swatting a dog's face, and the cat looked like they were moving at a normal speed while the dog was in slow motion. Cats are terrifyingly fast at striking with their paws.
Would of loved to hear from him about 2 things.
1. Mufasa vs the hyenas
2. Idris Elba’s Shere Khan
The expert was great and very enjoyable to watch, but how are you not going to have him rate “The Ghost and the Darkness” with Val Kilmer and Michael Douglas? This film is based on the Tsavo man-eaters, probably the most famous historical account of a big-cat attack.
Perhaps because they felt the movie was too disturbing to show? Not disturbing because of the lion kills but more Kilmer's terrible Irish accent.
Perhaps because it was a terrible film - absolutely appalling. For the record, the Michael Douglas character is complete fiction and made up. Anyone genuinely interested in the infamous Man-Eaters of Tsavo story is better served reading the original book, by Lt. Col. John H. Patterson (the Val Kilmer character), orig. published in 1907 (and written in the style of the times).
Agreed it should have been in video.
@@alexs.1242 I second this. If anyone is interested, I think it's like 99c on Kindle or perhaps even free.
@@alexs.1242Worst possible take. The movie could’ve used another round of edits to smooth out the pacing, but Remington is a spectacular Great White Hunter archetype, among Clayton & Roland Tembo, and it is a great Africa movie
I love all cats in all their shapes and sizes and appreciate how different yet similar in their behavior they are, from the smallest to the largest 😊
One film that is missing here and which would provide quite a bit to unpack for this gentleman, is 'The Ghost and the Darkness'. I'm hoping you bring him back for more, because I enjoy his passion for these wonderful creatures!
I was just about to complain about that. Not discussing Ghost and the Darkness in a video like this is like not discussing Jaws in a video about shark-movies.
Could've had something related to the Beast of Gévaudan, too (like Brotherhood of the Wolf).
Yes
I like this gentleman, he's so generous with even the ridiculous ones, he was very pleasant to watch and listen to his explanations :)

Huh, I didn't realize there were so many cougar attacks in movies. I live in an area where cougars are pretty common, even found cougar tracks over mine when I went out on a hike once and was on my return trip, and I'm just not scared of them at all. Cougars don't attack humans very much, and even when they do the human pretty much always surprised unless they're a child. They're just really bad at killing humans, and I'm pretty sure they know it. Honestly they tend to just be incredibly shy; 99% of the time if you're in an area with a cougar you won't see them. If you _do_ see them it's usually because they spotted you and are in the process of leaving the area in a hurry, lol.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. In my experience, mountain lions - aka pumas in the southern Americas - are shy and retiring, and more inclined to run and hide than attack people. In my career as a journalist, there was one case of a mountain lion that jumped on a rider on a horse, and another (unrelated) instance of a cougar trying (and failing) to nab a jogger. In both cases, the cat was a young male in thin condition, on the verge of starvation, likely an inexperienced hunter newly separated from its mom and struggling to fend for itself on its own. A far cry from the savage, marauding beast these ratty movies often make them out to be.
Someone has never played Red Dead Redemption…
(They’re one of the scariest animals to encounter because you don’t spot them. Good to know they’re not likely to go after you in the wild.)
Cat attacks of any kind are much more rare than people realize. ...but yeah, cougar attacks are extremely rare. There are something like 40k cougars in North America and on average, only about 5 of them attack a human per year. ..and if I remember correctly, less than 1 of those attacks per year is deadly.
There's actually a guy in Russia who has a pet cougar named Messi and it literally lives inside the house like a normal pet. It's one of the sweetest, most chill cats I've ever seen. Lol His videos are so entertaining. They also have a pet cheetah. Cheetahs and cougars are actually close cousins when it comes to evolution.
Yes
These videos are always great stuff. I love seeing someone talk about something they're passionate about and have tons of expertise with.
Mark was cool, please bring him back for more.
Yepp, there are other big cat movies, The Ghost and the Darkness (1996), Prey (2007), Rogue (2020), Burning Bright (2010), Maneater (2007), the South Korean "The Tiger" (2015), and sure some I missed to mention. Also there was a Dutch movie Prooi (Prey) (2016).
Had the misfortune to be face to face with a mountain lion and you have to fight every gut reaction to turn and run.
Stand still, maintain eye contact, make yourself appear larger than you really are (by holding your arms out, better if you're wearing a jacket and can spread the sleeves out to look like part of your body) and most cats will quietly back off and walk away. "Whatever you do, don't run" is a common refrain in the bush, and with good reason. Cats are opportunistic hunters, and running is a trigger that you may be something worth eating, even if they're not particularly hungry at the time. It's a survival reflex in cats - all cats. Instinctive from birth.
Woah o.o I would probably freeze because my brain shuts down

Does this work with lions and tigers?@@alexs.1242
@@alexs.1242and don’t make stupid sudden movements! Actually theory is great, but in reality the most will run or just surrender 😂😂😂😂😂
one important thing is to note is that predators are looking for victims, not opponents, going confrontational towards big cats is generally advised, with tigers being a notable exception as all you'll accomplish there is to raise your status from prey to hated enemy.
best way to survive a tiger attack is to bring a friend who's a more enticing target than you, because chances are you don't know that there even is a tiger until one of you is already dead.
"I don't need to outrun the tiger, I just need to outrun you!"

Can we get this guy to rate the leopard scenes from Tarzan (the animated one?) Loved his enthusiasm!
I love that the first line of defense in the bulk of nature is some combination of change size/make loud noises/be as scary as possible
That's because all predators try very hard to avoid getting hurt. The predator thinks "Okay, this one looks really tough and there's a very real chance they could permanently handicap me. I will back off because if I do get hurt, then I won't be able to get food anymore and I'll starve."
I think having a title of a Big-Cat Expert is a dream for a lot of us.
The Lion King Movie was very underrated in my opinion. As I had lived with house cats for my entire life, I was in awe about the movement and face gestures of the animated lions. It was very natural (in the setting of the movie).
People bad talked this movie a lot and found it weird. But I liked, that the lions behaved very realistic. Best "cat" movie, I have ever seen.
It's my cats favorite movie. I think I should be worried about that😂
This gentleman is both passionate and knowledgeable 🐅🐆🦁🐯
Aww this expert is such a sweetheart! Such a gentle take on even the dodgiest of scenes. 🙂
If you have him on again I would love his take on Chunky the Death Cat from "The Croods" - I immediately thought of that film when he mentioned that hunting cats try to be as quiet as possible rather than announce their presence to their prey.
A fellow Croods fan I see!😊
Too bad they didn't include the black jaguar attack from the movie "Apocalypto", which is pretty accurate, from what I read: this species favors a penetrating bite into the skull for the kill, as opposed to going for the throat for many other big cats.
Fun fact about that. The main actor actually ran in front of the real panther!
Yes! That is why jaguars have such a strong bite. They prefer to penetrate the skull for a quick kill rather than a slow bleed.
Yeah
I would have liked to have seen your response to the Jaguar scene in Apocolypto.
Again, these lists tend to be very lazy and made up on the fly. I doubt this fellow is even aware of Apocalypto, let alone seen it.
Yeah
I'd have loved to hear your opinion about a few more big cat attacks from movies: Burning Bright, Prey, Gladiator, Jungle Book, Sandokan, Tarzan, Two Brothers...
Apocalypto should have been on here! That's a pretty great and graphic scene and accurate on how Jaguars bite through skulls of their prey
Sad fact about the Lion in Beast: The movie tried to make you view that poor cat as the main villain, when really it’s the poachers who were the main villains and what this Lion was doing was getting revenge on the group of poachers that killed its entire pride. I felt sad for the Lion I honestly don’t blame it for going rogue.
I work in Vfx industry, heart and soul goes into making everything real including animals.
I can not describe here how lengthy, time consuming and detailed oriented the whole process is.
thanks for mentioning it.
Oh boy, another expert react video! Made my day!
Good point on cats and lung capacity. People always say why are cats so lazy or sleep all day. That's because when they are hunting for food or active, it's actually a very intensive activity for them.
p.s. also Out of Africa (1985, dir. Sidney Pollack) - for me, the lioness charge was both realistic and utterly credible. Wild lions can be relatively disinterested, bored even, when you're in a vehicle, but when you're on foot it's a whole different story. Out of Africa is just a movie - Robert Redford is miscast as the real-life character Denys Finch Hatton, for starters - and completely made up, I get that. That said, I was taken aback by just how realistic that scene with the lioness in Out of Africa really is. The silences for one. Movies as a rule don't do silence well, especially not in action thrillers set in the wilds of Africa.
That was such a great movie. Beside the actual big cat thing the acting was filled with so much passion and feelings those days. I miss movies like those ones. I cannot watch a movie which is all about the spectacular action scenes and sight but no story at all.
Couple of honourable mentions of you happen to make another one of these videos.
Apocalypto - There's a pretty decent panther attack. Uses a real panther (which the main actor actually ran in front of!) then switches to a fake one.
Tiger: An Old Hunters Tale - Amazing CGI! *A lot* of attacks on humans, some on animals.
Homeward Bound maybe? - There's a scene where a mountain lion chases two dogs, but there's no attack so to speak. But it was a real cat.
The Ghost and the Darkness - About the man eating lions of T'savo. Again a lot of attacks on humans. A lot of camera angle tricks, but 99% of the shots are with real lions.
Love this guy's expertise and teaching demeanor

Assuming he is average height, if a lion’s eye level with his chest, that means I would be eye-to-eye with a lion. That is terrifying and amazing
At 14:48 where he says ‘..it’s the domain of the wolves!’ you could feel the dread that he has about wolves. No animals comes close to ingenuity of wolves when it comes to killing its prey, or its competitors.

Actually, wolves have significantly lower success rates than mountain lions when it comes to hunting and have been seen following mountain lions around so that when the lion makes a kill, the wolves can steal it.
Researchers have also witnessed mountain lions making extra kills and storing them away to bring out later after the wolves have taken their other kill. When the researchers followed the cougar around themselves, the cougar would lead them to kill its made in an attempt to get the researchers to go away because it thought they were doing what the wolves do.
Not to say wolves aren't really cool because they are, and their social dynamics are fascinating; just saying cougars are also very smart and interesting 👍
Yeah I don't think anything in this comment holds up 😅 I don't see why would a wildlife expert feel any dread towards an animal that never attacks humans. As for the ingenuity part, I'd remind you that dolphins and orcas exist.
About Beast, I agree with the lethal prognosis haha. The end of the movie shows him in a hospital and apparently he's fine, but there is no god damn way a real person would survive an attack like that. We didn't see the entire clip here, but the lion bites *deep* into the man's torso multiple times (with it's oversized fangs lol) so in real life it would have punctured multiple organs. It ripped up the guys arms and legs, torn blood vessels. So even if they got him to an operating room immediately, which they couldn't because they were in the middle of nowhere, dude would be dead. No way he'd survive.
Missed opportunity to talk about the Ghost and the Darkness, underrated movie based on a true story about lion attacks would have loved a discussion of the movie and events surrounding it.

Always great to see this kind of knowledge and passion about the theme, 10/10.
One thing I just love about cats in general is their confidence. I think we've all seen the clips of house cats chasing away dogs, bears, gators, what have you. And while they are built for hunting, what really makes them impressive and scary is that defense mentality. It's like they're signaling that even if you can beat them, they're gonna hurt you so bad it's not worth it.
What the film "The Lion King" gets wrong is that lion families are matriarchal, not patriarchal. Males come only for mating, and often kill the cubs from a previous mating. And the film at 0:36 isn't a cartoon; it's the live action remake.
That being the ring tone on his phone is amazing to me. If I was a lion/big cat guy always surrounded by death machines, I wouldn't want to be jump scared by their voice at random places. But whatever gets the guy off. Absolute legend of a dude. very interesting stuff.
The Bear was set in an mountainous area with lots of Trees so that was accurate setting.
If it was taken place more up towards Alaska than he would have a point about accuracy wise.
7:43 I can confirm this fact. I worked with several male lions in a big cat sanctuary in South Africa . I am convinced that you could ride one into battle.
Mark Elbroch's books about how to track animals are so amazing. Just by reading through his Mammals of North America tracking book, I've learned how to collect the right data to identify tracks, how to tell how an animal died, etc. So very cool and so worth checking out if you have an interest in the natural history in your area.
Please come back and do another clip, really enjoyed this!

I've seen an impala disappear into the darkness 15m from me, just from the impact of a lioness at full tilt. Crazy how big they are, and the strength! I was on a game drive at night in South Africa, in an open Land-Rover and we came across a whole herd of impala just starting to go manic, lions were on the hunt...and after a few moments the guide swivelled the the spot light to the left, there was a split second when he stopped on an impala, it looked up at us, and then it was gone in a blur...swivel the light a bit to the right and there was the lioness right on top of its prey...all within 15m from where I was sitting in an open topped vehicle...what an experience!
I was so glad to see beast in here, one of my favorite movies relating to realism, I absolutely love how they ended the movie with the lions fighting other lions, totally realistic and awesome to see

One catch the Lions have quite weak hind legs if compared to other cats so they can't rly stand for long times on their hind legs and they generally fight with 3 legs on the ground and one striking paw. If they wrestle then the amount of time they spend on standing on the hind legs is quite low
It may not be totally accurate but RRR is an INCREDIBLE movie
RRR was a shitfest of a movie. Unbelievably overblown overhyped movie. The VFX was utter dross and embarrassing.
Where I live, we have mountain lions. A huge amount of people also go hiking, backpacking, or camping often not to mention ORV usage. We’re taught as children that going into the woods we need to look around everywhere to not only watch for bears, wolves, and coyotes but also up in trees for mountain lions. We have small cats too, as bobcats are common as well.
Wow this guy did a fantastic job. I love the one on the Lion King.
And if you look at the original version, they also did the same thing. But they did observe real lions.
Great video. How literally they shoot with big cats and they shows with neat storyboards to represent them. All big cats are very intelligent.
Loved this video!!
Also, “cats are predominately silent”
Yeah, as a horse owner I relate.
Name one horse scene in movie, the r tv; without a horse vocalization (whicker, neigh, snort etc.)
3:13 the Jaguar would not approach and attack pray in that way. Jaguars have the second strongest jaw of any animal, this means it hunts in a different way to all other cats. It's aim is to bite on the skull and it does this by sneaking up from behind and jumping onto that back, this is because it's jaws are so powerful it will penertrate straight through the skill and into the brain, bascially an inst-kill. It's interesting that they rarely go after humans as it is known that they will go after anything that walks into their terroirty from bears to crocodiles.

Everything mentioned is spot on, just one small note, the Lion King scene, when Cats are fighting and one rolls onto its back, it’s primarily a Submissive behaviour “I’ve lost, please leave”, if the fight continues they will try to get back onto all fours, then go back down on their back to submit once again.. they have a small advantage of all four paws facing up when on their backs but they won’t try to take advantage of that 👍🦁
Shut up professor, cats fight on their back because it's a defensive posture to protect the spine.
I saw a show about the making of L'ours/The Bear, and what Dr. Mark said is spot on. The director noted that it was very hard to get the mountain lion to come anywhere near the bear cub. It wanted no part of her.

To be fair, the lion in Beast was definitely fatigued and hurt from all the restless killing throughout the movie and the fact that he was burnt from the previous car scene so it's fine that the guys survives in my opinion. I'm no big cat expert but this is still convincing enough.
