Gators are NOT slow and lazy. They move like lightning when they are hunting. Which is why standing at the water's edge for a sunset/sunrise selfie is a dangerous idea in Florida.
Run might not be the right word. They are a "quick strike" killer. Surprise is their weapon. They have a good sprint in them, but they don't really have distance.
Alligators can reach up to 35mph in just a few seconds but can't run for any real distance. Mainly just around 20ft. They are quick strike, sneaky, very well camouflaged in the water, and stubborn.
@@samanthacarter9527 2 restaurants in Buffalo, NY claim they where the first to serve Buffalo Wings they both started the same day of the Super Bowl game. Nobody really knows which restaurant served the first wing. Up until that time people didn't eat chicken wings because there wasn't that much to a wing. Both restaurants run out of chicken, wings was all they had left. They added some spices, deep fried them give out some sauce with the wings and they have been popular since then.
@@Crow-l6k i was referring to the fact that Lewis is too dumb even after seeing this in previous videos to know this. he can't retain a memory of this. he is not able to remember what he's watched.
The scariest thing about a Mountain Lion (cougar), is seeing its fresh tracks. You know it's nearby, yet you can't see it, but you know it can see YOU!
Or how about when you are walking in the foothills and one is stalking you for miles while you are hiking/walking. Happened to me several times, I always hike with my 45 on me and bear spray.
I grew up in the northern mountains of the state of Utah. We actually have most of these there. I have had scorpions in my shoes, had a cougar that would frequent our back yard weekly, had a black bear come in our tent at night, been chased by a bull moose, watched a moose ram a semi truck and walk away, got rattlesnakes all over the foothills of the mountains, lynx, badgers, a few rare sightings of wolverines. When you live around it, you generally learn to respect it and learn how to handle situations. Loved seeing your reactions!
As a native Arizonan, I can confirm that scorpions DO in fact make their way into our houses. One time I was woken up from being stung multiple times on my back by a scorpion that was IN MY BED! Arizona has plenty of dangerous wildlife, including; rattlesnakes, javelinas (wild boar), brown recluse spiders, coyotes, Gila monsters, and mountain lions (although most of these animals won't attack unless provoked.)
In California visiting my dad in Arizona, I was so scared of scorpions as a child I've still never seen 1 in person. We have our own scary things here too.
i lived in Tuscon a bit and those spiders are more of an issue than the other animals, they want to bite. I thought the scorpions were cool, let me hold it to look and release. I'm in Nebraska and we have issues with rattle snakes and coyotes too. snakes really are a silent danger because by the time you hear that rattle its gonna be too late. coyotes were domesticated by the Native tribes and don't really do humans harm unless provoked or starving, they are opportunists
Oklahoman here, I have woken up bring stung by a scorpion once, and woken up to a brown racer snake wrapped around my ankle one fall. Safe to say I flipped the #$%& out when I realized what it was, until I realized what species it was, then I let it hang out in the sleeve of my hoodie, wrapped around my wrist lol
Alligators aren't lazy. They are ambush predators so they wait until you get close. They are quite fast even out of the water. Sharks don't 'chew'. The bite off chunks of meat and swallow the whole chunk.
Even more terrifying is how effective they are at it...they have patience of steel, they will wait until you are within inches of them almost even touching, you will not get away like the people in these clips
They left quite a few animals out. A Bull Shark is more likely to get you than a Great White. They have caught Bull Sharks in the Mississippi River as far north as Illinois.
Really enjoyed having your mom on again! She’s very funny. “That cougar (mountain lion) is so cute, you just want to take it home”,😂😂 Nope, not a good idea- an American mountain woman
I saw a crazy video about a guy picking on up by the scruff of its neck like it was a cat, yelling at it the whole time. It was half his size but he was mad it was threatening his kids or his pets and threw it over a fence. There's also pictures floating around of someone's donkey absolutely destroying a mountain lion out West. Do not recomment, 0 out of 10 to "psst,psst,psst." :)
@@wittsullivan8130 OMGOSH, that would have been worth seeing! They tell us to be careful not to disturb or threaten wild animals young, but don’t mess with ours either! That’s where the saying “Mama Bear” comes from. Most mothers (and fathers) go berserk when anyone or anything attempts to harm their babies. (Yes, I said “most”. There’s some parents out there that could care less, sadly). Donkeys do kick like crazy, but the mule can be deadly. Though I do love a good mule. Haha
As someone who survived Rocky mountain spotted fever with 10 days in the hospital and 5 months to fully recover I would suggest taking prevention against ticks
Lyme Disease is no fun either. My niece was sick for years. She was a kid, wasn't hospitalized, it was a long drawn out illness. Hope you're better now.
I feel like ticks should have made it onto this list. Bc of how sick you can get to after getting bit. Also they are more prolific than any of these animals. Unlike bears, black widows, and the like ticks can be found even in the rural places of America. You have to be close to those animals’ habitats to see them, but ticks could be found in a park if it is a certain part of the country like New Hampshire.
@thebibliobibuli6395 it took about a week after I got bit ( I never found the tick ) for the symptoms to start and it was brutal by the time I was admitted to the hospital my liver was shutting down I was dehydrated and rapidly losing weight because everything including water I threw up I had a high temperature, they did all kinds of tests I had IVs in both arms and just kinda in a daze for about the first 5 days in the hospital they kept me 5 more days to make sure all my organs were still good and I gained a little weight, I was 21 at the time in peak shape and it took about 6 months to fully recover and everything has been good for the 43 years since
@@thebibliobibuli6395Not really, black widows are far more common then you think. I used to work for a Vineyard company, my job was basically installing irrigations and would see them multiple times in a day creeping out of pipes as for some reason they enjoy dark humid areas. The same goes for houses, they creep their way in on cold places and could be very dangerous for toddlers. As for ticks, they are only a problem when there is a house pet as long as the pet is tended to properly and kept outside of the house it would be no problem. Black widows on the other hand, don't give a damnn, if your house is clean or not, it don't matter
Buffalo Wings first originated in BUFFALO, New York which is how they got the name Buffalo Wings! Of course these are Chicken Wings and in no way related to Bison/Buffalos! Lewis, you look just like your Mum and she looks as if she could be your Sister! I really like her. Bring her back. She already has a Fan Base who would Love to see more of her. As far as the dangerous animals and/or spiders, snakes, etc; there are some that are more common to peoples homes/towns if the people have chosen to live in these more wooded, secluded areas but others that are common in less populated states and Most people who reside or visit these places are aware of the possible threat they represent and will be very cautious and aware of their surroundings. Then there are those people who foolishly attempt to get too close or to entice these Wild Animals without thinking. Unfortunately! But in the case of say, wild Cougars, their lands have been so encroached upon by housing developments and roads for the convenience of man that they often wander onto property that was once part of their wilderness domain, with no fault of their own, and that is when, where and how tragedy can take place just by the mere presence of humans where there were none previously. Can't blame these wild animals for doing what wild animals do; such as defending their territory, looking for food, raising their young, only to be interfered with by some human who thinks because he's built a home there he maintains dominance there. It's just silly and selfish to think that way. Give these animals some space to roam and be free and steer clear of their known hunting grounds if you know what's good for you. Anyway, being educated about the area you live, take precautions and always Be Aware!!
@@EdwardJones-w3g Same here. I stopped one of them last night here in CA and asked them 'where are you headed next?' She said 'Back to New York' - My response was 'make sure your arms land in BBQ sauce."
@@bradywilliams5195 LMAO not trying to shame here I promise, but how old are you and where do you live? Also, what would have been your previous guess as to why they are called Buffalo Wings?
@@tommygilbreath Replying in the same manner I promise; not everyone grows up with the same foods.... I grew up in a very Polish culture as my parents were WWII Refugees from Poland who came to the US in 1951...I did not really realize till I was a bit older that there was a difference between what my mom thought of as pancakes; (a variation on crepes); and what most of the US thought of as pancakes; (buttermilk flapjacks)... Also my mom's idea of "fried chicken" is nothing like what most US people think of as "fried chicken". My mom would actually boil a chicken first to get a good base for a chicken broth she would later use for soups. but then she would remove the breast meat off the bones and dip it into a series of flour, eggs and bread crumbs and then she would fry it in butter....THAT was my mom's fried chicken...Oh and her dumplings for soup were made out of Cream of Wheat as the main ingredient... (Something I still have yet to master).... 😁
@@teresavandal4973 Wow that's a super interesting history you have! TBH And your Mom's food sounds really good :) The person I was replying to said they were American though so it just seemed odd they wouldn't know the Buffalo Wings thing since you can't walk 2 Blocks in this Country without running into a food spot that sells them.
@@tommygilbreathyou answered your own question.... Doesn't matter what street in whichever state you are..... Every where sells buffalo sauce or wings.
They can actually do short bursts of up to 35 miles per hour, useful for ambush hunting coming out of the water.. The fastest human run ever recorded was just under 28 miles per hour. They've got the best of us outpaced by 7 mph.
Yeah but they usually don't mess with anything large. The young elderly and pets are at most risk. Hogs can be deadly af. Alligator's also have a powerful tail, and sharp claws. Got them in every state in the east Virginia and below. I live in Georgia we got plenty. Even got a alligator park Okeefenokee.
I am from Texas. We have most of these here. Mountain Lions sound like a baby crying or a person screaming in real life. It's super creepy. Bison steak is delicious. Gator is good. It looks like fish but tastes like chicken. There were Black Bears in my yard a couple of months ago. The only animals I haven't seen is a Grizzly Bear and a Moose in Texas. Pits are big baby's. Out pit is over 100lbs and still climbs in our laps trying to be held.
LEW: to clarify... cartoon bears of the 1950s/1960s were starring characters Yogi and friend Booboo; their home was called Jellystone Park, a spoof on the real Yellowstone Park. Bison, aka buffalo are actual massively large animals that are eaten for tneir meat but mostly managed due to overkill to near extinction. Buffalo wings are marketed smacks derived from actual chicken wings with spices and credited of being started in the location of Buffalo New York.
What I've realized watching this, is how amazing the wildlife in America is and how often we forget about it. Seeing people from abroad learning about the things we take for granted is extremely cool. I'm from Michigan and we have bears, bobcats, cougars, wolverines, (not sure if still in the wild or not) moose up north. Too many to name. Cheers!
Mum is HILARIOUS!!! Her saying she wanted to take the cougar home reminded me of my own mom (in Goergia) feeding this "weird looking cat". Come to find out, she was feeding a bobcat (North American Lynx) because it "looked hungry". 😮😬🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It must not have made much noise around her… do a search for bobcat vocalizations-they are _terrifying_! It’s funny that mountain lions can sound like babies, but bobcats can sound like saber-toothed tigers.
@ 😬A simple google search would show you that they are two different animals. They are not the same. As someone that has studied animals & was becoming a zoologist, I would know more than a simpleton like yourself. But nice try though.🙄🫠
I've lived in Florida my whole life 30 year now. When I used to go fishing you normally see the gators in the water there eyes would be sticking out looking at you. Good to be aware of your surroundings when near water in this state.
I live in Oregon and several years ago we had a cougar on campus on the first day of school. Imagine 500 elementary kids told they don't get recess on the first day
You should make a channel for your mom! Btw at 18:37 I live in FL so I got taught this since I lived by a lake where gators were common and someone died there you poke their eyes and it blinds them for a couple seconds and you run and get inside ASAP And with sharks you can do the same or poke,stab or pull their gills and they can’t breath and try to get away asap
Lewis we all can see where you get your sense of humor from 😊 Your Mum is hilarious and the videos with you two together are so fun! ....of course we want more reactions with her 💁🏻♀
We have TONS of cougars. Especially in Montana in the western states. When I bought a house in North Carolina there is a lake I can see from my house. The 1st day I moved in, I saw about a 6' gator 100ydd from my new home. Bison used to be in every state. Now they're making a comeback thanks to conservation. They were almost totally eradicated in the 1880s. We have crazy scary animals in the US
They say cougars/mountain lions, have been ran out of NC. So many move here to military towns in NC and don't realize we have alligators and many other animals and bugs. NC has mountains, coastal and swamps.
@@19MichaelDixonI was reading about that recently-apparently, even when cougars don’t “live” in a state (meaning they don’t breed there), they regularly pass through other states. I guess it happens mostly when young cougars head out to find their own territories. So, it’s definitely possible!
I am from Montana (Big Sky country) and yes there are bison and they are common so is the grizzly bear. Both animals are massive and can be deadly. Big problem is many tourists think that the Yellowstone park is a petting zoo. Petting and approaching is not advisable.
we still have bison in Nebraska and Colorado too. nice to know they are booming, once almost extinct. I'm Nebraskan and this used to be their native habitat, the plains are so farmed out no room to roam anymore
Even a baby bison can kick a person's ass. I had the privilege of bottle feeding a rejected baby bison. She was fairly controllable for the first couple of days, but after a week she was able to throw me, a 6'1" 235lb 18 year old that benched 300 as my average set.
The rhyme we learned to tell a coral snake (venomous) and an also very common King snake (harmless) is this: Red touch black, friend to Jack. Red touch yellow, kills a fellow. Look up each snake to see how close alike they look.
Bison tastes just like beef, but they're way healthier! Buffalo wings are chicken, but the hot sauce that goes on them was invented in Buffalo, New York.
@@Steve-hq4fm I wouldn’t say it tastes just like beef, but to the average person it probably would. Have you ever done a side by side of various cuts from grass fed beef and bison? I got a chance to try that once and I noticed a subtle difference. Even so, if I’d had them a week apart instead of side by side I might not have noticed as much or at all.
I live in (and love) Oregon. Either regularly or seasonally, there are interactions on our property with cougars, foxes, coyotes, black widows, black bears, scorpions, and rattle snakes. We are ALWAYS aware of our surroundings and prepared to deal with true threats accordingly. For the most part, we make our human presence known and fence in livestock (and trash) with secure enclosures. Lastly, we have 2 trained farm dogs who take their jobs seriously and have scared off more than a few bears, foxes, coyotes, and even a cougar. Love them dogs!
Anita I live in ore too thought scorpions were only found in eastern Oregon? I've never seen them in western ore! When I lived in Tucson I encountered scorpions!
I was born in Oregon and lived here most of my life, I remember my surprise when I found a dead scorpion on the Collawash River, there is a spot near the road with large smooth rocks, we pulled over to jump in the river and swim to the other side, the river was fresh snow melt, VERY cold, beautiful crystal clear water, you could clearly see the bottom (25-35ft deep) we would swim to the other side (maybe 12-20ft wide) and lay on the sun baked rocks to dry before swimming back, then jump back in the 86 Toyota 4runner and drive home wet lol, Baker City in the 90's was a great childhood experience! I could go anywhere on my bike, as long as I was home before the street lights came on mom and dad didn't care, I wish I could go back.
This most common place to get stung by a scorpion is your foot because they like to hide in your shoes. If you're ever in the US in a place that has scorpions make sure to shake your shoes out well before putting them on.
Yes, love the mom, son relationship, neat. My son's would never do this with me, I WOULD EMBARRASS THEM, even at their old age, 23 and 30, I'd embarrass them somehow😮😂. Oh well that's what us parents do, embarrass our kids! LOL
Your mum is amazing, you two have the same infectious positive energy. To answer your question on how we sleep at night, many of us are armed, especially the more rural you get. Love the video
I always love when Mama Lew joins! The black widow spider likes to hide so bites often occur when you're walking through the woods or cleaning out your attic, etc. Regarding the American Pitbull, there are a lot of organizations that take in pitbulls that have been trained poorly and retrain them. There's a prejudice here against them but many people recognize that it's not the breed, but the training that has to be fixed.
@L3WG the reason alligators and crocodiles dont bite in those scenes is because they were stunned beforehand. If hit/smacked on the nose, they become stunned for a short while. The people putting hands or anything else were demonstrating this trick. The bites happen when they were not sufficiently stunned and recover faster.
I used to have a 4-poster bed. It was really high, so my nightstand was also tall. One night, I leaned over toward my nightstand and caught a glimpse of a black spider in the corner behind the leg. I got down to see and it was a black widow. I actually left it there for a while - a couple of weeks - because I know they aren't aggressive. But one night, I had a sudden image in my mind of an egg sac. I was suddenly not so passive anymore. Lol
I love your mom! I live in the Yosemite National Park area of California. One time I was gold prospecting in the Merced river in the summer when the water was really low. Well, I was bending down using my pan, when I noticed about 15 feet away from me was a mountain lion dragging a deer that was bigger than I was! I stayed still until it passed, and slowly backed up and got into my jeep and got the hell away from there!!🤣 Love Grandma Debbie
You show them Yellowstone when they visit us & I will show them Lake Michigan & The Dunes National Park in Indiana ❤ they need to see both those places if they ever visit us.
Yeah, mountain lions are frequently smart enough to avoid getting into conflict with humans. Unlike, say, Bison, which are almost as dumb as hippos and may decide to charge across a field to attack you just because it's Tuesday.
Good thing it was already distracted! I knew someone who was hiking alone (not too smart) who sat on a cliff watching a group of bighorn below. He said he heard something, looked around, and there was a mountain lion behind him-also watching the bighorn. I wish I could remember how he got out of that, but I do remember he was very lucky he wasn’t as appetizing as the sheep. And you should never hike alone, btw!
When I was growing up My aunt in Vermont Would take a wooden spoon and dish pan with her while she was hanging wash on the line. When a bear showed up, she would beat on the dish pan with the spoon to chase them away
You know what I've noticed? When you're with your mom your accent comes out even more 😂 I love it! I'm American from California and moved around to Texas, Arizona and now Oregon. I was a truck driver for 6 years and have been everywhere!
ive moved around a bit when i was a kid, ppl get soo confused trying to place my accent. its a mixture Mo and Tx. sometimes i sound like a country boy, and then a city boy lol
Buffalo wings are chicken wings in sauce. Apparently they came up with them in Buffalo NY. I once found a pale scorpion in the bathtub. Washed it down the drain with hot water. Then there was the vinagarone which is a relative of the scorpion that exudes a major vinegar scent. And, no, Grizzly bears and plain old brown bears are a leetle different from each other. Out of all of these, the black widow spider is my absolutely least favorite spider. I know, the brown recluse is probably more dangerous, but widows look nasty. And your Mum is lovely.
If you see a gator. You keep your distance. Lol, I live in Alabama, and they are in all water mass in the south. Gators lay on the banks during the day. Then they go in the water and hunt at night.
24:27 It's so sad that pit bulls are used in such a way that causes them to be euthanized. So many of them are just good sweet dogs that want to love everybody around them! It's the owners that make them monsters. The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree, you know. If you nurture something a certain way it's going to come out that way.😊
My father got a pit that was used as a 'bait' dog. It was very skittish and growled a lot at first. After several months it was very loving to family members but still avoided strangers or infrequent visitors.
Advice on bears most of the time they’ll run away, but if they are with another mate or if it’s a mother with Cubs, if they see you as a threat, they will attack and they will not give you a chance. A lot of people see a mother bear with its cubs and they think how cute it is and they wanna get their pictures in up close and find themselves waking up in a hospital days later.
I live in a part of Alaska that gets a TON of Moose traffic. The amount of times I've heard "DON'T let the dog out, there's three moose outside" is hilarious. Generally they will try to avoid you. I remember being a kid and school teaching us what to do if we find ourselves face to face with a moose. Made walking home from the bus stop spooky haha!
You are right about American pitbull terriers. Our Pittbull, Angel, fit her name. She tried to take care of us when we were sick, protected us from bad people, worked to lift us out of depression, and loved us unconditionally. It's how the owners train them Angel was part of the family until she died and is greatly missed.
The worst part about my brother's pit is when she's sitting at your feet on the couch... she looks into your eyes, you resign yourself to your fate as she launches full force into your face to give you kisses. She's sweet, but not the coolest thing with a 60 pound dog. ;-) (RIP to your pup).
One year on the 4th when I was like 14 me and my friend had some sparklers and we lined them up, stuck them in the dirt and then lit them. My families pitbull was inside watching us. When they lit up she busted the door, ran over and threw herself in between me and the sparklers and laid down on top of them. She would have given her life for me, my mom and dad. All she wanted was to curl up in your lap and be covered by a blanket. She use to sleep with our cat wrapped around her. She was the best dog. I still cry when I think about her and she’s been gone for nearly twenty years. Pitbulls are fantastic dogs, it’s all how they’re trained.
Alligators can ambush you if you're standing near a river bank. A few years ago, a four year old boy was grabbed from the side of a pond by an alligator at Disney World in Florida and killed. BTW, your mom being on the show is awesome!
P.S. pit bulls are some of the best family dogs. The breed is naturally loyal and gentle. The sad part is that people have bred the least friendly ones they could find, and then treated them horribly and made them so mean that they will try to kill one another, just for sport. Humans are the problem, not the dogs. Humans sometimes just suck! Except not you and your mom! You both rock!
Wrong. My sister raised them, she was like you. Was a pit bull advocate. Raised them very loving. Then 1 day it went all wrong. 2 white pitbulls slaughtered a small horse, all her chickens 9 goats, 5 cats, and 3 weenie puppies. Worst part, her 2 kids were getting off bus at 3:45, and usually she doesn't get home till 4:30 from work. Long story short, she didn't feel that well that day, and went home about 3pm. When drove up, she said, her whole front yard was red and grisley, she had 2 side pastures, she saw the horse and goats from a distance, at this time, she did Not think it was her dogs, in fact was afraid what ever did this might of killed her dogs too. Maybe a bear, which in Texas, they do come occasionally. She preceeded to go to her gate of her front yard, and opened it up. She saw the dead cats first, then the very deep slow growl, she froze. All she saw was two large lumps of red. She realized they were her once white pits. She slowly inched about 20 feet from them to the front door, ignoring the growl, she actually got the door open in one try, even though her hand was shaking. She went and got her 45. Went back to the front yard 15 feet away, blew her dogs heads in. In our family no one tells her, we told you so. No one. She and her kids could of died horrible deaths that day. But a God thing said for her to go home before the bus got there. Something set the dogs off, maybe a cat smacked one of the dogs after getting too close? Who knows, in back of house is where she found the dead puppies and a broken fence the pitbulls got out of. To say having good homes, loving, training will save you or a child, elderly you are very ignorant of the breed. The snap, they get blood -lust, and they like to kill. Texas we have pitbulls that owners bring after wild, very large hogs, that also can tear you up. Anyways. No one in my family has pitts, and I never let my kids go to houses that had pits.
@@RunningGrass-we7tm I am so sad to hear of your sister’s horrible experience! How absolutely terrified she must have been, and I’m glad the children didn’t get home before her. In this case I would have done the same thing she did, out of self defense and for the safety of the children. I realize there are always things that can go awry, not just with the bully breeds. Some herding breeds and guarding breeds sometimes can snap. Unfortunately some (only some) is due to bad breeding practices. My personal opinion on is that the more aggressive individual dogs should be desexed so they can’t breed. In some cases (again, only some) people breed the most aggressive dogs and this can result in those genes being passed on and on. Breed one dog with aggressive genes to another dog with aggressive genes, and then those puppies to others with aggressive genes, and they are just looking for trouble. There are breeders who just don’t think also, who just breed for color, etc. I understand all this. I’m saying all this, just to point out that it isn’t just a matter of breed alone. Yes, some breeds have the ability to kill , such as your sister’s dogs. Every pit Bull has that physical ability, as do the shepherd breeds, the setters, the herding breeds, and so many others. Even a chihuahua can go into a wild rage, but just aren’t capable of as much damage. Bottom line is every dog breed descended from wolves. While we have domesticated them, they still have natural instincts that can arise. Again, I’m sorry for the trauma your sister and family have experienced, and for the loss of her other animals which I’m sure she cared very much for.
Not to belittle the suffering of your story but there's always anecdotal instances like this with animals and especially dogs. I've raised six pitties. Four from pups and two rescued from troubled homes. And only one from the rescues had an aggression issue that we were able to love out of him. But I can find you a horror story of every breed of domesticated canines. It's vastly from dogs that suffered some kind of trauma prior.
There’s more than what was in this video. 1. Wolfs. They range from Alaska to Arizona and New Mexico and even in northern Mexico. 2. Bobcats. Which are all over the Southwestern United States again all over Arizona. 3. Rattle Snakes. various types and range throughout the United States.
I guess to add to the stories about camping and bears - Once went camping in middle school for summer camp and one girl I had to share a tent with had never been outside the city before then and apparently hated how the outdoors smelled (so ridiculous). She absolutely hosed our tent down with one of those victoria's secret body spray perfume things - like enough to give us all headaches. We woke up the next morning to the outside of the tent being slimy and wet and one of the counselors showing us a video he had gotten of a black bear licking our tent. I slept through the whole thing lol
The black bears are why I use my garbage disposal. I put the scraps down it . Sometimes one comes down out of the mountains and gets in the garbage for an easy meal. The black bear can get about 350 pounds. That's not as bad as the grizzly but it can take you down. One got my sister's garbage can and walked upright carrying the can across the road. Here in Kentucky and farther south the black bears don't go into full hibernation in the winter. So you might see them in the winter. City people are the people that act like they're petting zoo animals.
My story of scorpions is from a guy talking about his house in Texas. He had been ignoring millipedes in his house until he woke up to find scorpions gobbling them up
I grew up in Alaska. Huge moose!! I've seen a few cars vs moose. They're so tall a car hit them at the knees, they roll up the hood ripping the roof off and land in your lap and kill you. And never get in-between a mother and her baby. A friend of mine and myself got stalked by a grizzly once. Another friend of mine was sleeping next to the camp fire and woke up with a black bear standing over him licking his face. Alaska was a fun place to grow up!
Black bears in Canada are pretty much like really big squirrels. They'll come and hang out in your back yard, go for a swim in your pool and will leave if you ask them politely.
"What do you do you do if you dont have tape?" Well, you probably start by NOT jumping on the alligator 😂😂 And to add to this, even with tape, you would never try and tackle an alligator that is in water. Alligators are extremely proficient swimmers and would buck you off in about a second in water. Not to downplay their murderous efficacy on land though. They are extremely fast, even on land.
I once saw a foreign tourist trying to walk up on a very agitated badger to take a photo. Badgers didn’t make this list, but trust me, you don’t want to corner one. We were all shouting at him to back away. Luckily he did.
Sharks swallow the chunks they get when they take bites. Also, hearing a cougar (mountain lion/puma) cry at night is terrifying. It sounds like a baby crying. And buffalo wings are just chicken wings baked or fried and covered in buffalo sauce.
Scorpions in general are found in warm places and they like to hide under cover like a sleeping bag, tarp, under or inside your tent, in your shoes or boots, like spiders or snakes. It's always a good idea to sheke out your shoes or boots, or lift up a tarp with a stick to make sure nothing is underneath to bite or sting you. Usually a scorpion sting is about like a bee sting but people have allergies and some venom is more powerful than others. Scorpions have thermal vision and glow in UV light. In the 80's, when I was a teenager, they re-introduced cougars to our area (Lee county, Mississippi) to control the coyotes and other critters that were over populating. A neighbor's goat was killed and then a neighbor's horse was attacked. One night I heard a woman screaming in the woods by my house. I ran outside with a big flashlight and yelled if someone needed help. I heard another scream and freaked out and went back in the house. I found out later if you hear a scream like that, it's trying to trick you into exposing yourself and it's dangerously close to you. One guy was jogging down a trail and was chased by a cougar but shot it. Buffalo and bison are the same thing. Bison is the proper term. Buffalos are in Africa and Asia and look more like cows, like the Cape Buffalo or water buffalo. You can buy ground buffalo and buffalo steaks. They're extremely lean like deer meat. Tupelo, Mississippi, a nearby town, has the largest herd of buffalo east of the Mississippi river, raised at Tupelo Bufalo Park. You can feed some of them out of your hand, but some of them are extremely dangerous either mean or clumsy. The second largest herd in the east is on a ranch in Pennsylvania. Ted Turner has the largest private herd in Montana. They've re-introduced the black bear to Mississippi, also. A lot of people have seen them in their neighborhoods and on their game cameras in the woods. They're very common in Tennessee in the Smoky Mountains. It gets dangerous when they lose their fear of humans and expect food, breaking into people's dumpsters, cars, and even people's homes. Black widows have a neurotoxic venom like most venomous snakes in the US. it breaks down your nervous system so you're paralyzed and stop breathing. Brown recluse spiders have a hemotoxic venom, which breaks down your blood, causing it to congeal which ultimately keeps your from moving because your muscles can't get oxygen. Before that happens, you end up with gangrene and sepsis around the bite. A lot of people lose limbs to stop the spread of the infection and venom. The snakes and spiders, even some toads, found in Latin and South America, Africa, and Australia put our snakes and spiders to shame. :) I've never seen a coral snake in person, just in zoos. The coral snake is extremely venomous but it's jaw doesn't open wide like a viper, it can only bite you on a finger or bare foot. Rattlesnakes and other vipers can bite you through your clothing or even leather boots or gloves. We've had copperhead snakes (a viper), brown recluse spiders, and black widows in our house, mostly in the garage where they're not disturbed. My air conditioner guy found a snake skin in my attic, but it was probably from a rat snake hunting for mice or squirrels. We've had water mocassins/cottonmouth vipers in the yard, looking for water. They're usually found in or around ponds, lakes, or streams. They're related to the rattlesnake and copperhead, being pit vipers. Wolf spiders are common, but they're completely harmless, eating insects. Moose have derailed trains and walked off. When my son was deployed in Alaska, moose would come on to the base, eat some grass in the yard, take a nap, and then walk off base when it felt like it. They have a bull moose (breeding age male moose) come hang out as well as a mama moose and her kids and their kids. They don't mess with the moose and the moose don't mess with the soldiers. :) He never saw any grizzly bears, just a lot of caribou, elk, and moose. When you come to America to rassle a gator, have fun with that. I'll be over there recording it for the Darwin Awards. :) Best thing to do if you know an alligator is nearby, get far away, quickly. :)
I live in the northeast and in the 45 years of living here, I saw a bear once, running across the road and I saw a baby Moose. I have never seen anything else. Pitbulls Or Pitties as many responsible loving "parents"call the are fantastic dogs like you said. In the 80's and 90's I had 2 Doberman Pinchers females. Everyone warned me about them but they were loving, wonderful creatures. They were very protecive of the family but cound not beat their way out of a wet paperbag. They are beautiful, smart and they don't shed. Great video
It's all about how both of these dogs were raised! But a Chihuahua is a different story! Those little bastards are just plain mean! It's kinda like they've gotten tired of being laughed at for their size & now they gonna show everyone how size really doesn't matter! They'll attack your back before you can even say hi! "Did that guy just breathe? I'll show him😠!!!" I've had a Dobie & my grandson has a Pittie, both sweet sweet loving dogs❤!!!
@@christinemathies7236 Yes, and the statistics on those bites are faulty. They lump about 20 different breeds into a "pit bull" category whereas stats for other breeds are just for their individual breeds, for example, all mastiffs are not lumped into one group for the analysis. I have a Dogo Argentino Staffordshire terrier mix and even though he is 105 pounds and looks more Dogo than Staffie, some would ignorantly label him a pit bull (I also have seen many, including a vet, label him American Bulldog). PS he is the biggest, neediest baby of all the dogs I have ever had.
Yayeeee mom! You guys are great! By the way, bears will attack campers that are sleeping. They are NOT just there for food and walking away all the time. They will go after people who just happen to be around, attack cabins….. they are not chill. I’m just saying this because I have heard way too many accounts. Black bears a a little less likely.
Yes there was a couple in Canada that was attacked by a black bear. The girl was bleeding pretty bad but managed to get into a boat. She bled to death. Her boyfriend was viciously mauled and eaten.
Love your shows. I'm from Texas and we have all kinds of dangerous animals. Last week my daughter and I were hiking around a lake in Dallas and a cougar was roaming around . At an early age You learn to respect wild animals and just leave them alone . Your mother really should be your co-host, she's GREAT !!!!
Alligators are not slow or lazy. I was fishing at a popular swamps edge near Houston when an elderly couple's dog started barking at the water, and before I had a chance to say, "Get your dog", it was gone. I live on a property about an hour east of Houston that has about a seventeen acre lake, and we have eight Alligators in it. I don't worry about them, but when they just show up two feet away, it will wake you up for sure.
First, I love your mom! She’s great! Second, I once came face-to-face with a cougar about a quarter of a mile from my house when I lived out in the country. They are pretty common around here. I live in Washington state. Both bears and cougars are seen fairly often. The cougar I came face-to-face with was about 60 feet from me when it saw me and it hunkered down like it was ready to pounce. But it was sniffing the air and just waiting to see what I was and what I was going to do. I love the woods, I love nature, and I love animals and happen to have a good sense of animal and what they will do. So I stood still and didn’t blink an eye and pretended like I was a tree. I don’t think it fooled the cougar, but I was downwind from it, which means the wind was blowing toward me instead of toward it so it couldn’t smell me. After what seemed like forever, but was actually only a couple of minutes,I’m sure, it calmly stood up, turned and walked off into the forest and I just made as much noise as I could. I picked up a big stick and started swinging it around to look big and dangerous, and walked past where the cougar had been and went home. I often heard a cougar out in the woods, screaming not far from my front door at night. It sounded like a woman screaming, and the first time I heard it I thought some woman was being attacked by somebody or something. I called my neighbor up the road to make sure she was OK and she started laughing and told me not to worry, that it was just a cougar. So yes, cougars are very very common here. They just usually hide from people so most people don’t know how close they are to them. We don’t have many grizzly bears in this part of the country, but we do have black bears which are smaller and not as vicious. Love your videos, yes, please more of your mom.! 🙂
In Derry, NH we have bears that come into our back yards, especially in the spring when they are waking up. We are given warnings to bring in our bird feeders as they will lure the hungry bears in. Derry is a small town of about 35,000 people and an area of 36 sq miles. But, it's not out in the boon docks - Manchester is just a town away!
Growing up I was taught that Alligators can only run in a straight line so when trying to get away from one you have to run as fast as you can in a zigzag pattern in order to get away in time.
Gators whip with their tails and snap to the side. They can sneak up on ya with just a couple inches of water. My hubby and I were stationed in New Orleans. We went fishing one day. Hubby was fishing & I took a walk. He called for me and I did an about face, took 2 steps and a gator ran out from where I was standing. I ran back to him. And we saw 2 more gators in the water coming at us. We grabbed the poles, tackle box and ran. 🤣
I'm in Arizona at an elevation of over 5000 feet. Snow in the winter, and scorpions too. And snakes, centipedes, bears, big cats, and don't forget the elk can get pretty cranky, especially during rut. A man a couple of miles from me was outside enjoying his morning coffee when a bear got ahold of him. The bear dragged him off and was consuming him by the time a neighbor could shoot the bear.

Buffalo wings are chicken wings covered in Buffalo sauce which is equal parts melted butter and hot sauce
I had a scorpion encounter in the Smoky mountains Tennessee during a rented cabin.
👍
Google an image of an 'Orb Spider's ' I had one in Florida that looks like more of an alien bug than anything. The weavers to spin unbelievable webs
Your mom asked, "What do you do." I live in the country. And if I'm in the forest, I have two boom sticks with me.
Gators are NOT slow and lazy. They move like lightning when they are hunting. Which is why standing at the water's edge for a sunset/sunrise selfie is a dangerous idea in Florida.
Can’t they run like 20 mph?
Or like.. gallup?
Run might not be the right word. They are a "quick strike" killer. Surprise is their weapon. They have a good sprint in them, but they don't really have distance.
They are fast as hell but in short spurts. As they’re cold blooded they have bursts of speed but cannot sustain a run like a horse
Alligators can reach up to 35mph in just a few seconds but can't run for any real distance. Mainly just around 20ft. They are quick strike, sneaky, very well camouflaged in the water, and stubborn.
I believe they can move very fast on land when they need to. They are faster on land than in water.
BUFFALO WINGS were first made in Buffalo, New York
from bison... come on Lewis
@@michaelsmith-iu1be Get real Buffalo wings are chicken wings
Buffalo wings are actually chicken wings with sauce on it and I guess it originated in New York Buffalo New York.
@@samanthacarter9527 2 restaurants in Buffalo, NY claim they where the first to serve Buffalo Wings they both started the same day of the Super Bowl game. Nobody really knows which restaurant served the first wing. Up until that time people didn't eat chicken wings because there wasn't that much to a wing. Both restaurants run out of chicken, wings was all they had left. They added some spices, deep fried them give out some sauce with the wings and they have been popular since then.
@@Crow-l6k i was referring to the fact that Lewis is too dumb even after seeing this in previous videos to know this. he can't retain a memory of this. he is not able to remember what he's watched.
The scariest thing about a Mountain Lion (cougar), is seeing its fresh tracks. You know it's nearby, yet you can't see it, but you know it can see YOU!
Or how about when you are walking in the foothills and one is stalking you for miles while you are hiking/walking. Happened to me several times, I always hike with my 45 on me and bear spray.
One lives in my area outside of Dallas. They have a 200. Sq. Mile territory.
Had pictures my friend took in almost all of them there was a cougar trailing us the entire hike.
Yup,
or if you a bunch of bear cubs alone.
or maybe not so alone.
I grew up in the northern mountains of the state of Utah. We actually have most of these there. I have had scorpions in my shoes, had a cougar that would frequent our back yard weekly, had a black bear come in our tent at night, been chased by a bull moose, watched a moose ram a semi truck and walk away, got rattlesnakes all over the foothills of the mountains, lynx, badgers, a few rare sightings of wolverines. When you live around it, you generally learn to respect it and learn how to handle situations. Loved seeing your reactions!
I grew up in Utah as well. I second all of this!
Soooo, what you're saying is....never travel to Utah. Got it 👍 😅
I'm from Utah as well and I thought all those animals were normal everywhere. Lol 😂
As a native Arizonan, I can confirm that scorpions DO in fact make their way into our houses. One time I was woken up from being stung multiple times on my back by a scorpion that was IN MY BED! Arizona has plenty of dangerous wildlife, including; rattlesnakes, javelinas (wild boar), brown recluse spiders, coyotes, Gila monsters, and mountain lions (although most of these animals won't attack unless provoked.)
In California visiting my dad in Arizona, I was so scared of scorpions as a child I've still never seen 1 in person. We have our own scary things here too.
i lived in Tuscon a bit and those spiders are more of an issue than the other animals, they want to bite. I thought the scorpions were cool, let me hold it to look and release. I'm in Nebraska and we have issues with rattle snakes and coyotes too. snakes really are a silent danger because by the time you hear that rattle its gonna be too late. coyotes were domesticated by the Native tribes and don't really do humans harm unless provoked or starving, they are opportunists
Umm javelinas and wild boars are different animals.
And Arizona has both javelinas and wild boars. Wild boars are also known as feral hogs.
Oklahoman here, I have woken up bring stung by a scorpion once, and woken up to a brown racer snake wrapped around my ankle one fall. Safe to say I flipped the #$%& out when I realized what it was, until I realized what species it was, then I let it hang out in the sleeve of my hoodie, wrapped around my wrist lol
Alligators aren't lazy. They are ambush predators so they wait until you get close. They are quite fast even out of the water.
Sharks don't 'chew'. The bite off chunks of meat and swallow the whole chunk.
On behalf of the alligators please stop sharing their secrets. 😁
Even more terrifying is how effective they are at it...they have patience of steel, they will wait until you are within inches of them almost even touching, you will not get away like the people in these clips
@@MatthewvMayo😂😂😂😂

For gators with no tape... just cover its eyes with something. It calms them like owls
They left quite a few animals out. A Bull Shark is more likely to get you than a Great White. They have caught Bull Sharks in the Mississippi River as far north as Illinois.
There are bull sharks in some of the Bayous in Louisiana!
And the wolverine walks in and says, "oh really". "Whos next? " The wolverine is the honey badgers cousin.
Bull sharks are are crazy
@@rushfan9thcmd wolverine aint afraid of anything,,,,
Bull sharks males, have the most testosterone of any male animal in the world. Hormones super charge their aggression.
Yogi and BooBoo are from Jellystone now Yellowstone! lol "But Yogi, what about the ranger?!"
"I'm smarter than the average bear."
Came to say the same thing 🎉
Your mom is so adorable and now I know where you get your humor from 😂
Really enjoyed having your mom on again! She’s very funny. “That cougar (mountain lion) is so cute, you just want to take it home”,😂😂 Nope, not a good idea- an American mountain woman
The most dangerous one she likes.
I saw a crazy video about a guy picking on up by the scruff of its neck like it was a cat, yelling at it the whole time. It was half his size but he was mad it was threatening his kids or his pets and threw it over a fence. There's also pictures floating around of someone's donkey absolutely destroying a mountain lion out West. Do not recomment, 0 out of 10 to "psst,psst,psst." :)
@@wittsullivan8130 OMGOSH, that would have been worth seeing! They tell us to be careful not to disturb or threaten wild animals young, but don’t mess with ours either! That’s where the saying “Mama Bear” comes from. Most mothers (and fathers) go berserk when anyone or anything attempts to harm their babies. (Yes, I said “most”. There’s some parents out there that could care less, sadly). Donkeys do kick like crazy, but the mule can be deadly. Though I do love a good mule. Haha
As someone who survived Rocky mountain spotted fever with 10 days in the hospital and 5 months to fully recover I would suggest taking prevention against ticks
Lyme Disease is no fun either. My niece was sick for years. She was a kid, wasn't hospitalized, it was a long drawn out illness. Hope you're better now.
I feel like ticks should have made it onto this list. Bc of how sick you can get to after getting bit. Also they are more prolific than any of these animals. Unlike bears, black widows, and the like ticks can be found even in the rural places of America. You have to be close to those animals’ habitats to see them, but ticks could be found in a park if it is a certain part of the country like New Hampshire.
@thebibliobibuli6395 it took about a week after I got bit ( I never found the tick ) for the symptoms to start and it was brutal by the time I was admitted to the hospital my liver was shutting down I was dehydrated and rapidly losing weight because everything including water I threw up I had a high temperature, they did all kinds of tests I had IVs in both arms and just kinda in a daze for about the first 5 days in the hospital they kept me 5 more days to make sure all my organs were still good and I gained a little weight, I was 21 at the time in peak shape and it took about 6 months to fully recover and everything has been good for the 43 years since
Ugh, ticks give me the heebie geebies. I’d rather have leeches feasting on me than ticks.
@@thebibliobibuli6395Not really, black widows are far more common then you think. I used to work for a Vineyard company, my job was basically installing irrigations and would see them multiple times in a day creeping out of pipes as for some reason they enjoy dark humid areas. The same goes for houses, they creep their way in on cold places and could be very dangerous for toddlers. As for ticks, they are only a problem when there is a house pet as long as the pet is tended to properly and kept outside of the house it would be no problem. Black widows on the other hand, don't give a damnn, if your house is clean or not, it don't matter
Mom: "Well, of course not, they don't have wings" !!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I am so dead.. I laughed so hard 😂
Buffalo Wings first originated in BUFFALO, New York which is how they got the name Buffalo Wings! Of course these are Chicken Wings and in no way related to Bison/Buffalos!
Lewis, you look just like your Mum and she looks as if she could be your Sister!
I really like her. Bring her back. She already has a Fan Base who would Love to see more of her.
As far as the dangerous animals and/or spiders, snakes, etc; there are some that are more common to peoples homes/towns if the people have chosen to live in these more wooded, secluded areas but others that are common in less populated states and Most people who reside or visit these places are aware of the possible threat they represent and will be very cautious and aware of their surroundings. Then there are those people who foolishly attempt to get too close or to entice these Wild Animals without thinking. Unfortunately!
But in the case of say, wild Cougars, their lands have been so encroached upon by housing developments and roads for the convenience of man that they often wander onto property that was once part of their wilderness domain, with no fault of their own, and that is when, where and how tragedy can take place just by the mere presence of humans where there were none previously.
Can't blame these wild animals for doing what wild animals do; such as defending their territory, looking for food, raising their young, only to be interfered with by some human who thinks because he's built a home there he maintains dominance there. It's just silly and selfish to think that way.
Give these animals some space to roam and be free and steer clear of their known hunting grounds if you know what's good for you.
Anyway, being educated about the area you live, take precautions and always Be Aware!!
What do you mean that they don't have wings? I see flocks of them flying around all the time.
@@EdwardJones-w3g Same here. I stopped one of them last night here in CA and asked them 'where are you headed next?' She said 'Back to New York' - My response was 'make sure your arms land in BBQ sauce."

Buffalo wings and their sauce are named after the city of Buffalo, New York, not the animal 😂😂
I'm from America and you just taught me this
@@bradywilliams5195 LMAO not trying to shame here I promise, but how old are you and where do you live? Also, what would have been your previous guess as to why they are called Buffalo Wings?
@@tommygilbreath Replying in the same manner I promise; not everyone grows up with the same foods.... I grew up in a very Polish culture as my parents were WWII Refugees from Poland who came to the US in 1951...I did not really realize till I was a bit older that there was a difference between what my mom thought of as pancakes; (a variation on crepes); and what most of the US thought of as pancakes; (buttermilk flapjacks)... Also my mom's idea of "fried chicken" is nothing like what most US people think of as "fried chicken". My mom would actually boil a chicken first to get a good base for a chicken broth she would later use for soups. but then she would remove the breast meat off the bones and dip it into a series of flour, eggs and bread crumbs and then she would fry it in butter....THAT was my mom's fried chicken...Oh and her dumplings for soup were made out of Cream of Wheat as the main ingredient... (Something I still have yet to master).... 😁
@@teresavandal4973 Wow that's a super interesting history you have! TBH And your Mom's food sounds really good :)
The person I was replying to said they were American though so it just seemed odd they wouldn't know the Buffalo Wings thing since you can't walk 2 Blocks in this Country without running into a food spot that sells them.
@@tommygilbreathyou answered your own question.... Doesn't matter what street in whichever state you are..... Every where sells buffalo sauce or wings.

No Gators can move about 20 mph. They are very dangerous.
They can actually do short bursts of up to 35 miles per hour, useful for ambush hunting coming out of the water.. The fastest human run ever recorded was just under 28 miles per hour. They've got the best of us outpaced by 7 mph.
@@donaldwatson7698 Which is why you're supposed to zig zag when you run away from them. Apparently their legs don't let them change direction quickly.
Yeah but they usually don't mess with anything large. The young elderly and pets are at most risk. Hogs can be deadly af. Alligator's also have a powerful tail, and sharp claws. Got them in every state in the east Virginia and below. I live in Georgia we got plenty. Even got a alligator park Okeefenokee.
Like most animals they want to be left alone.
I am from Texas. We have most of these here. Mountain Lions sound like a baby crying or a person screaming in real life. It's super creepy. Bison steak is delicious. Gator is good. It looks like fish but tastes like chicken. There were Black Bears in my yard a couple of months ago. The only animals I haven't seen is a Grizzly Bear and a Moose in Texas. Pits are big baby's. Out pit is over 100lbs and still climbs in our laps trying to be held.
LEW: to clarify... cartoon bears of the 1950s/1960s were starring characters Yogi and friend Booboo; their home was called Jellystone Park, a spoof on the real Yellowstone Park. Bison, aka buffalo are actual massively large animals that are eaten for tneir meat but mostly managed due to overkill to near extinction. Buffalo wings are marketed smacks derived from actual chicken wings with spices and credited of being started in the location of Buffalo New York.
Also, in Buffalo, NY we call them chicken wings or just wings.
What I've realized watching this, is how amazing the wildlife in America is and how often we forget about it. Seeing people from abroad learning about the things we take for granted is extremely cool. I'm from Michigan and we have bears, bobcats, cougars, wolverines, (not sure if still in the wild or not) moose up north. Too many to name. Cheers!
I always find it funny Aussies look at american wild life the way we look at aussie wildlife.
"$%^& that" lol
Mum is HILARIOUS!!! Her saying she wanted to take the cougar home reminded me of my own mom (in Goergia) feeding this "weird looking cat". Come to find out, she was feeding a bobcat (North American Lynx) because it "looked hungry". 😮😬🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It must not have made much noise around her… do a search for bobcat vocalizations-they are _terrifying_! It’s funny that mountain lions can sound like babies, but bobcats can sound like saber-toothed tigers.
🤦🏼♀️ A bobcat & lynx are two different animals. Lynx’s are bigger than bobcats & have longer tufts on their ears.
@mileenacosens4889 bobcat = Lynx rufus, but ok. 🤦🏾♂️🤷🏾
@ 😬A simple google search would show you that they are two different animals. They are not the same. As someone that has studied animals & was becoming a zoologist, I would know more than a simpleton like yourself. But nice try though.🙄🫠
I live in Georgia and my coworker did the same thing lol
I've lived in Florida my whole life 30 year now. When I used to go fishing you normally see the gators in the water there eyes would be sticking out looking at you. Good to be aware of your surroundings when near water in this state.
Don't forget killer bees, fire ants, & brown recluse spiders😅
And black widows and hobo spiders 😂
Yeah, Brown Recluse has a much higher ER count than the Black Widow.
And chupacabras!

Wolves in Yellowstone as well.
I live in Oregon and several years ago we had a cougar on campus on the first day of school. Imagine 500 elementary kids told they don't get recess on the first day
Yep here in Roseburg we had one in the middle of our down town, also a few months back a bear was spotted near our Dairy Queen.
Yogi Bear is in the fictional park of Jellystone.
And an actual RV/cabin park around the country. Named after Yogi Bear.
Hey boo-boo, what’s in the picnic

You should make a channel for your mom!
Btw at 18:37 I live in FL so I got taught this since I lived by a lake where gators were common and someone died there you poke their eyes and it blinds them for a couple seconds and you run and get inside ASAP
And with sharks you can do the same or poke,stab or pull their gills and they can’t breath and try to get away asap
Lewis we all can see where you get your sense of humor from 😊 Your Mum is hilarious and the videos with you two together are so fun! ....of course we want more reactions with her 💁🏻♀
We have TONS of cougars. Especially in Montana in the western states. When I bought a house in North Carolina there is a lake I can see from my house. The 1st day I moved in, I saw about a 6' gator 100ydd from my new home. Bison used to be in every state. Now they're making a comeback thanks to conservation. They were almost totally eradicated in the 1880s. We have crazy scary animals in the US
They say cougars/mountain lions, have been ran out of NC. So many move here to military towns in NC and don't realize we have alligators and many other animals and bugs. NC has mountains, coastal and swamps.
@alenslumbeeangel There are still people in NC who swear theyve seen cougars. Especially in the Brunswick county area
We get cougars in the Twin Cities sometimes.
Yes mountain lions still exist here in the smokey mountain national park and surrounding areas just FYI so maybe don't come here!
@@19MichaelDixonI was reading about that recently-apparently, even when cougars don’t “live” in a state (meaning they don’t breed there), they regularly pass through other states. I guess it happens mostly when young cougars head out to find their own territories. So, it’s definitely possible!
Buffalo wings had me cracking up.
Buffalo wings are chicken wings and drums seasoned with buffalo sauce - i think it comes from Buffalo, New York. They are awesome
Yes, scorpions do come in the house. Even in Arizona.
In Texas it is common to find them in the bathroom. Then like the cool tile.
And they’re not only found in the desert. In temperate Georgia, we have different scorpions, but I’ve found them inside plenty of times
@@sailorellie9133 Yes, we have them in Alabama too. Smaller than the ones in the desert.
It depends what part you're in but we get them in Colorado too. Yes they get in the house too
And Peachtree City, Georgia.
You and mom are a dynamic duo. Keep em coming!
I am from Montana (Big Sky country) and yes there are bison and they are common so is the grizzly bear. Both animals are massive and can be deadly. Big problem is many tourists think that the Yellowstone park is a petting zoo. Petting and approaching is not advisable.
we still have bison in Nebraska and Colorado too. nice to know they are booming, once almost extinct. I'm Nebraskan and this used to be their native habitat, the plains are so farmed out no room to roam anymore
Montana, our most beautiful state imo.
Even a baby bison can kick a person's ass. I had the privilege of bottle feeding a rejected baby bison. She was fairly controllable for the first couple of days, but after a week she was able to throw me, a 6'1" 235lb 18 year old that benched 300 as my average set.
We get cougars roaming around here at least twice a year here in south Georgia. But we bobcats at least once a month
The rhyme we learned to tell a coral snake (venomous) and an also very common King snake (harmless) is this: Red touch black, friend to Jack. Red touch yellow, kills a fellow. Look up each snake to see how close alike they look.
Ha! I forgot about that rhyme! Thatd a fun bit of nostalgia unlocked, thanks for that.
Oh yeah I've also heard. Red touches yellow, you're a dead fellow.
I heard red on black your ok Jack, red on yellow will kill a fellow
Buffalos shed their wings once they reach adulthood. The wings are collected, cooked, and seasoned with sauces. Tastes just like chicken! lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Oh my gosh. That is snorting funny.
I am picturing the tiniest buffalo flying around my plate… 😂

Bison tastes just like beef, but they're way healthier! Buffalo wings are chicken, but the hot sauce that goes on them was invented in Buffalo, New York.
@@Steve-hq4fm I wouldn’t say it tastes just like beef, but to the average person it probably would. Have you ever done a side by side of various cuts from grass fed beef and bison? I got a chance to try that once and I noticed a subtle difference. Even so, if I’d had them a week apart instead of side by side I might not have noticed as much or at all.
Its better than beef and melts in your mouth when cooked just right
Sweeter than beef
Montana grill does that were you get one bison one beef@ryankieth1675
Bison has much less fat, so more care needs to be taken cooking. Or it becomes dry, and tough.
Mum is real cool bruh, love the family bond
I live in (and love) Oregon. Either regularly or seasonally, there are interactions on our property with cougars, foxes, coyotes, black widows, black bears, scorpions, and rattle snakes. We are ALWAYS aware of our surroundings and prepared to deal with true threats accordingly. For the most part, we make our human presence known and fence in livestock (and trash) with secure enclosures. Lastly, we have 2 trained farm dogs who take their jobs seriously and have scared off more than a few bears, foxes, coyotes, and even a cougar. Love them dogs!
Anita I live in ore too thought scorpions were only found in eastern Oregon? I've never seen them in western ore! When I lived in Tucson I encountered scorpions!
I was born in Oregon and lived here most of my life, I remember my surprise when I found a dead scorpion on the Collawash River, there is a spot near the road with large smooth rocks, we pulled over to jump in the river and swim to the other side, the river was fresh snow melt, VERY cold, beautiful crystal clear water, you could clearly see the bottom (25-35ft deep) we would swim to the other side (maybe 12-20ft wide) and lay on the sun baked rocks to dry before swimming back, then jump back in the 86 Toyota 4runner and drive home wet lol, Baker City in the 90's was a great childhood experience! I could go anywhere on my bike, as long as I was home before the street lights came on mom and dad didn't care, I wish I could go back.
This most common place to get stung by a scorpion is your foot because they like to hide in your shoes. If you're ever in the US in a place that has scorpions make sure to shake your shoes out well before putting them on.
The Buffilo conversation 😂😂😂❤❤❤
Buffalo don't got wings they don't fly😂
And yogi omg.😂😂❤
Gaters & Crocs are not always slow .
I so enjoyed seeing your mom with you again. She's quite lovely. I love that it seems y'all have a really good relationship. Cherish each other.
Yes, love the mom, son relationship, neat. My son's would never do this with me, I WOULD EMBARRASS THEM, even at their old age, 23 and 30, I'd embarrass them somehow😮😂.
Oh well that's what us parents do, embarrass our kids!
LOL
Your mum is amazing, you two have the same infectious positive energy. To answer your question on how we sleep at night, many of us are armed, especially the more rural you get. Love the video
I always love when Mama Lew joins! The black widow spider likes to hide so bites often occur when you're walking through the woods or cleaning out your attic, etc.
Regarding the American Pitbull, there are a lot of organizations that take in pitbulls that have been trained poorly and retrain them. There's a prejudice here against them but many people recognize that it's not the breed, but the training that has to be fixed.
@L3WG the reason alligators and crocodiles dont bite in those scenes is because they were stunned beforehand. If hit/smacked on the nose, they become stunned for a short while. The people putting hands or anything else were demonstrating this trick. The bites happen when they were not sufficiently stunned and recover faster.
I used to have a 4-poster bed. It was really high, so my nightstand was also tall. One night, I leaned over toward my nightstand and caught a glimpse of a black spider in the corner behind the leg. I got down to see and it was a black widow. I actually left it there for a while - a couple of weeks - because I know they aren't aggressive. But one night, I had a sudden image in my mind of an egg sac. I was suddenly not so passive anymore. Lol
BUFFALO WINGS 🪽 🤣🤣 that was a good laugh 😆
Yes 👍, more MOM!!!
Yes! Very charming.
Give her her own microphone❤
In Florida, at my job, I see snakes, alligators and spiders. But, you have to expect that when you build a million dollar community on top of a swamp.
I love your mom! I live in the Yosemite National Park area of California. One time I was gold prospecting in the Merced river in the summer when the water was really low. Well, I was bending down using my pan, when I noticed about 15 feet away from me was a mountain lion dragging a deer that was bigger than I was! I stayed still until it passed, and slowly backed up and got into my jeep and got the hell away from there!!🤣
Love Grandma Debbie
Grandma Debbie.... 🏃🏼♀️💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You show them Yellowstone when they visit us & I will show them Lake Michigan & The Dunes National Park in Indiana ❤ they need to see both those places if they ever visit us.
Good job!
Yeah, mountain lions are frequently smart enough to avoid getting into conflict with humans. Unlike, say, Bison, which are almost as dumb as hippos and may decide to charge across a field to attack you just because it's Tuesday.
Good thing it was already distracted! I knew someone who was hiking alone (not too smart) who sat on a cliff watching a group of bighorn below. He said he heard something, looked around, and there was a mountain lion behind him-also watching the bighorn. I wish I could remember how he got out of that, but I do remember he was very lucky he wasn’t as appetizing as the sheep. And you should never hike alone, btw!
When I was growing up My aunt in Vermont Would take a wooden spoon and dish pan with her while she was hanging wash on the line. When a bear showed up, she would beat on the
dish pan with the spoon to chase them away
I’m from Vermont, I live on a back road , every Summer, across the road, three moose show up
You know what I've noticed? When you're with your mom your accent comes out even more 😂 I love it! I'm American from California and moved around to Texas, Arizona and now Oregon. I was a truck driver for 6 years and have been everywhere!
Persephone's is my son's cats name! Goddess of the underworld!
ive moved around a bit when i was a kid, ppl get soo confused trying to place my accent. its a mixture Mo and Tx. sometimes i sound like a country boy, and then a city boy lol
Buffalo wings are chicken wings in sauce. Apparently they came up with them in Buffalo NY. I once found a pale scorpion in the bathtub. Washed it down the drain with hot water. Then there was the vinagarone which is a relative of the scorpion that exudes a major vinegar scent. And, no, Grizzly bears and plain old brown bears are a leetle different from each other. Out of all of these, the black widow spider is my absolutely least favorite spider. I know, the brown recluse is probably more dangerous, but widows look nasty. And your Mum is lovely.
If you see a gator. You keep your distance. Lol, I live in Alabama, and they are in all water mass in the south. Gators lay on the banks during the day. Then they go in the water and hunt at night.
24:27 It's so sad that pit bulls are used in such a way that causes them to be euthanized. So many of them are just good sweet dogs that want to love everybody around them! It's the owners that make them monsters. The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree, you know. If you nurture something a certain way it's going to come out that way.😊
My father got a pit that was used as a 'bait' dog. It was very skittish and growled a lot at first. After several months it was very loving to family members but still avoided strangers or infrequent visitors.
Advice on bears most of the time they’ll run away, but if they are with another mate or if it’s a mother with Cubs, if they see you as a threat, they will attack and they will not give you a chance. A lot of people see a mother bear with its cubs and they think how cute it is and they wanna get their pictures in up close and find themselves waking up in a hospital days later.
I live in a part of Alaska that gets a TON of Moose traffic. The amount of times I've heard "DON'T let the dog out, there's three moose outside" is hilarious.
Generally they will try to avoid you. I remember being a kid and school teaching us what to do if we find ourselves face to face with a moose. Made walking home from the bus stop spooky haha!
You are right about American pitbull terriers. Our Pittbull, Angel, fit her name. She tried to take care of us when we were sick, protected us from bad people, worked to lift us out of depression, and loved us unconditionally. It's how the owners train them
Angel was part of the family until she died and is greatly missed.
😢
The worst part about my brother's pit is when she's sitting at your feet on the couch... she looks into your eyes, you resign yourself to your fate as she launches full force into your face to give you kisses. She's sweet, but not the coolest thing with a 60 pound dog. ;-) (RIP to your pup).
One year on the 4th when I was like 14 me and my friend had some sparklers and we lined them up, stuck them in the dirt and then lit them. My families pitbull was inside watching us. When they lit up she busted the door, ran over and threw herself in between me and the sparklers and laid down on top of them. She would have given her life for me, my mom and dad. All she wanted was to curl up in your lap and be covered by a blanket. She use to sleep with our cat wrapped around her. She was the best dog. I still cry when I think about her and she’s been gone for nearly twenty years. Pitbulls are fantastic dogs, it’s all how they’re trained.
I've got 3 pitties and they are all afraid of my gang of maine coon cats. The cats rule the house and the dogs rule my workshop
My pitty is a sweetheart too!
Buffalo wings are chicken wings in buffalo hot sauce 5:30
This part was genuinely funny to watch
Also, to further clarify, buffalo sauce comes from Buffalo, NY, has nothing to do with the animal.
Alligators can ambush you if you're standing near a river bank. A few years ago, a four year old boy was grabbed from the side of a pond by an alligator at Disney World in Florida and killed. BTW, your mom being on the show is awesome!
Ha!! The Buffalo wings part actually made me laugh out loud😂😂😂Buffalo is a city in New York where chicken wings snack originated
P.S. pit bulls are some of the best family dogs. The breed is naturally loyal and gentle. The sad part is that people have bred the least friendly ones they could find, and then treated them horribly and made them so mean that they will try to kill one another, just for sport. Humans are the problem, not the dogs. Humans sometimes just suck!
Except not you and your mom! You both rock!
Wrong. My sister raised them, she was like you. Was a pit bull advocate. Raised them very loving. Then 1 day it went all wrong. 2 white pitbulls slaughtered a small horse, all her chickens 9 goats, 5 cats, and 3 weenie puppies.
Worst part, her 2 kids were getting off bus at 3:45, and usually she doesn't get home till 4:30 from work.
Long story short, she didn't feel that well that day, and went home about 3pm.
When drove up, she said, her whole front yard was red and grisley, she had 2 side pastures, she saw the horse and goats from a distance, at this time, she did Not think it was her dogs, in fact was afraid what ever did this might of killed her dogs too. Maybe a bear, which in Texas, they do come occasionally. She preceeded to go to her gate of her front yard, and opened it up. She saw the dead cats first, then the very deep slow growl, she froze. All she saw was two large lumps of red. She realized they were her once white pits. She slowly inched about 20 feet from them to the front door, ignoring the growl, she actually got the door open in one try, even though her hand was shaking. She went and got her 45. Went back to the front yard 15 feet away, blew her dogs heads in.
In our family no one tells her, we told you so. No one. She and her kids could of died horrible deaths that day. But a God thing said for her to go home before the bus got there. Something set the dogs off, maybe a cat smacked one of the dogs after getting too close? Who knows, in back of house is where she found the dead puppies and a broken fence the pitbulls got out of.
To say having good homes, loving, training will save you or a child, elderly you are very ignorant of the breed. The snap, they get blood -lust, and they like to kill. Texas we have pitbulls that owners bring after wild, very large hogs, that also can tear you up. Anyways. No one in my family has pitts, and I never let my kids go to houses that had pits.
Everybody says their pittie is the sweetest dog ever until it mauls a child. They should be banned.
@@RunningGrass-we7tm I am so sad to hear of your sister’s horrible experience! How absolutely terrified she must have been, and I’m glad the children didn’t get home before her. In this case I would have done the same thing she did, out of self defense and for the safety of the children.
I realize there are always things that can go awry, not just with the bully breeds. Some herding breeds and guarding breeds sometimes can snap. Unfortunately some (only some) is due to bad breeding practices. My personal opinion on is that the more aggressive individual dogs should be desexed so they can’t breed. In some cases (again, only some) people breed the most aggressive dogs and this can result in those genes being passed on and on. Breed one dog with aggressive genes to another dog with aggressive genes, and then those puppies to others with aggressive genes, and they are just looking for trouble. There are breeders who just don’t think also, who just breed for color, etc. I understand all this.
I’m saying all this, just to point out that it isn’t just a matter of breed alone. Yes, some breeds have the ability to kill , such as your sister’s dogs. Every pit Bull has that physical ability, as do the shepherd breeds, the setters, the herding breeds, and so many others. Even a chihuahua can go into a wild rage, but just aren’t capable of as much damage. Bottom line is every dog breed descended from wolves. While we have domesticated them, they still have natural instincts that can arise.
Again, I’m sorry for the trauma your sister and family have experienced, and for the loss of her other animals which I’m sure she cared very much for.
Not to belittle the suffering of your story but there's always anecdotal instances like this with animals and especially dogs. I've raised six pitties. Four from pups and two rescued from troubled homes. And only one from the rescues had an aggression issue that we were able to love out of him. But I can find you a horror story of every breed of domesticated canines. It's vastly from dogs that suffered some kind of trauma prior.
My brother had 2 pits. They are big lap dogs who will not move!
We LOVE your Mom.....you too Lewis! 😃
There’s more than what was in this video.
1. Wolfs. They range from Alaska to Arizona and New Mexico and even in northern Mexico.
2. Bobcats. Which are all over the Southwestern United States again all over Arizona.
3. Rattle Snakes. various types and range throughout the United States.
I guess to add to the stories about camping and bears - Once went camping in middle school for summer camp and one girl I had to share a tent with had never been outside the city before then and apparently hated how the outdoors smelled (so ridiculous). She absolutely hosed our tent down with one of those victoria's secret body spray perfume things - like enough to give us all headaches. We woke up the next morning to the outside of the tent being slimy and wet and one of the counselors showing us a video he had gotten of a black bear licking our tent. I slept through the whole thing lol
Buffalo wings get their name from Buffalo, New York
your mom is awesome!
Agreed she's pretty cool 😎
The black bears are why I use my garbage disposal. I put the scraps down it . Sometimes one comes down out of the mountains and gets in the garbage for an easy meal. The black bear can get about 350 pounds. That's not as bad as the grizzly but it can take you down. One got my sister's garbage can and walked upright carrying the can across the road. Here in Kentucky and farther south the black bears don't go into full hibernation in the winter. So you might see them in the winter. City people are the people that act like they're petting zoo animals.
My story of scorpions is from a guy talking about his house in Texas. He had been ignoring millipedes in his house until he woke up to find scorpions gobbling them up
5:05 buffalo sauce from buffalo New York
Poor Lewis 😂
@@sector986poor Lewis? Poor mum!
Buffalo are bison. Buffalo wings are chicken wings with a sauce that was first created in the city of Buffalo, New York
I came here to say that.
love it when Mum is on
I grew up in Alaska. Huge moose!! I've seen a few cars vs moose. They're so tall a car hit them at the knees, they roll up the hood ripping the roof off and land in your lap and kill you. And never get in-between a mother and her baby. A friend of mine and myself got stalked by a grizzly once. Another friend of mine was sleeping next to the camp fire and woke up with a black bear standing over him licking his face. Alaska was a fun place to grow up!
So happy to see Mum again. Please keep making videos with her! 😊❤
Your mom is absolutely adorable. The banter between you two is so fun. Had me rolling with the Buffalo wings 😂
Love your mom. Come back mom 😄
Black bears in Canada are pretty much like really big squirrels. They'll come and hang out in your back yard, go for a swim in your pool and will leave if you ask them politely.
"What do you do you do if you dont have tape?"
Well, you probably start by NOT jumping on the alligator 😂😂
And to add to this, even with tape, you would never try and tackle an alligator that is in water. Alligators are extremely proficient swimmers and would buck you off in about a second in water.
Not to downplay their murderous efficacy on land though. They are extremely fast, even on land.
And they cling fences. That’s why we have trappers.
I once saw a foreign tourist trying to walk up on a very agitated badger to take a photo. Badgers didn’t make this list, but trust me, you don’t want to corner one. We were all shouting at him to back away. Luckily he did.
Only clueless or stupid people would mess with a badger. They don't play at all.
Sharks swallow the chunks they get when they take bites. Also, hearing a cougar (mountain lion/puma) cry at night is terrifying. It sounds like a baby crying. And buffalo wings are just chicken wings baked or fried and covered in buffalo sauce.
Scorpions in general are found in warm places and they like to hide under cover like a sleeping bag, tarp, under or inside your tent, in your shoes or boots, like spiders or snakes. It's always a good idea to sheke out your shoes or boots, or lift up a tarp with a stick to make sure nothing is underneath to bite or sting you. Usually a scorpion sting is about like a bee sting but people have allergies and some venom is more powerful than others. Scorpions have thermal vision and glow in UV light.
In the 80's, when I was a teenager, they re-introduced cougars to our area (Lee county, Mississippi) to control the coyotes and other critters that were over populating. A neighbor's goat was killed and then a neighbor's horse was attacked. One night I heard a woman screaming in the woods by my house. I ran outside with a big flashlight and yelled if someone needed help. I heard another scream and freaked out and went back in the house. I found out later if you hear a scream like that, it's trying to trick you into exposing yourself and it's dangerously close to you. One guy was jogging down a trail and was chased by a cougar but shot it.
Buffalo and bison are the same thing. Bison is the proper term. Buffalos are in Africa and Asia and look more like cows, like the Cape Buffalo or water buffalo. You can buy ground buffalo and buffalo steaks. They're extremely lean like deer meat. Tupelo, Mississippi, a nearby town, has the largest herd of buffalo east of the Mississippi river, raised at Tupelo Bufalo Park. You can feed some of them out of your hand, but some of them are extremely dangerous either mean or clumsy. The second largest herd in the east is on a ranch in Pennsylvania. Ted Turner has the largest private herd in Montana.
They've re-introduced the black bear to Mississippi, also. A lot of people have seen them in their neighborhoods and on their game cameras in the woods. They're very common in Tennessee in the Smoky Mountains. It gets dangerous when they lose their fear of humans and expect food, breaking into people's dumpsters, cars, and even people's homes.
Black widows have a neurotoxic venom like most venomous snakes in the US. it breaks down your nervous system so you're paralyzed and stop breathing. Brown recluse spiders have a hemotoxic venom, which breaks down your blood, causing it to congeal which ultimately keeps your from moving because your muscles can't get oxygen. Before that happens, you end up with gangrene and sepsis around the bite. A lot of people lose limbs to stop the spread of the infection and venom. The snakes and spiders, even some toads, found in Latin and South America, Africa, and Australia put our snakes and spiders to shame. :)
I've never seen a coral snake in person, just in zoos. The coral snake is extremely venomous but it's jaw doesn't open wide like a viper, it can only bite you on a finger or bare foot. Rattlesnakes and other vipers can bite you through your clothing or even leather boots or gloves. We've had copperhead snakes (a viper), brown recluse spiders, and black widows in our house, mostly in the garage where they're not disturbed. My air conditioner guy found a snake skin in my attic, but it was probably from a rat snake hunting for mice or squirrels. We've had water mocassins/cottonmouth vipers in the yard, looking for water. They're usually found in or around ponds, lakes, or streams. They're related to the rattlesnake and copperhead, being pit vipers. Wolf spiders are common, but they're completely harmless, eating insects.
Moose have derailed trains and walked off. When my son was deployed in Alaska, moose would come on to the base, eat some grass in the yard, take a nap, and then walk off base when it felt like it. They have a bull moose (breeding age male moose) come hang out as well as a mama moose and her kids and their kids. They don't mess with the moose and the moose don't mess with the soldiers. :) He never saw any grizzly bears, just a lot of caribou, elk, and moose.
When you come to America to rassle a gator, have fun with that. I'll be over there recording it for the Darwin Awards. :) Best thing to do if you know an alligator is nearby, get far away, quickly. :)
I live in the northeast and in the 45 years of living here, I saw a bear once, running across the road and I saw a baby Moose. I have never seen anything else. Pitbulls Or Pitties as many responsible loving "parents"call the are fantastic dogs like you said. In the 80's and 90's I had 2 Doberman Pinchers females. Everyone warned me about them but they were loving, wonderful creatures. They were very protecive of the family but cound not beat their way out of a wet paperbag. They are beautiful, smart and they don't shed. Great video
You must live in a city, don't go into the forest, or you're loud when you do.
It's all about how both of these dogs were raised! But a Chihuahua is a different story! Those little bastards are just plain mean! It's kinda like they've gotten tired of being laughed at for their size & now they gonna show everyone how size really doesn't matter! They'll attack your back before you can even say hi!
"Did that guy just breathe? I'll show him😠!!!"
I've had a Dobie & my grandson has a Pittie, both sweet sweet loving dogs❤!!!
@@christinemathies7236 Yes, and the statistics on those bites are faulty. They lump about 20 different breeds into a "pit bull" category whereas stats for other breeds are just for their individual breeds, for example, all mastiffs are not lumped into one group for the analysis. I have a Dogo Argentino Staffordshire terrier mix and even though he is 105 pounds and looks more Dogo than Staffie, some would ignorantly label him a pit bull (I also have seen many, including a vet, label him American Bulldog). PS he is the biggest, neediest baby of all the dogs I have ever had.
Yayeeee mom! You guys are great!
By the way, bears will attack campers that are sleeping. They are NOT just there for food and walking away all the time. They will go after people who just happen to be around, attack cabins….. they are not chill. I’m just saying this because I have heard way too many accounts. Black bears a a little less likely.
Yes there was a couple in Canada that was attacked by a black bear. The girl was bleeding pretty bad but managed to get into a boat. She bled to death. Her boyfriend was viciously mauled and eaten.
Love your shows. I'm from Texas and we have all kinds of dangerous animals. Last week my daughter and I were hiking around a lake in Dallas and a cougar was roaming around . At an early age You learn to respect wild animals and just leave them alone . Your mother really should be your co-host, she's GREAT !!!!
Your mom is lovely! She should be in all your TH-cam videos!
Alligators are not slow or lazy. I was fishing at a popular swamps edge near Houston when an elderly couple's dog started barking at the water, and before I had a chance to say, "Get your dog", it was gone. I live on a property about an hour east of Houston that has about a seventeen acre lake, and we have eight Alligators in it. I don't worry about them, but when they just show up two feet away, it will wake you up for sure.
First, I love your mom! She’s great!
Second, I once came face-to-face with a cougar about a quarter of a mile from my house when I lived out in the country. They are pretty common around here. I live in Washington state. Both bears and cougars are seen fairly often. The cougar I came face-to-face with was about 60 feet from me when it saw me and it hunkered down like it was ready to pounce. But it was sniffing the air and just waiting to see what I was and what I was going to do. I love the woods, I love nature, and I love animals and happen to have a good sense of animal and what they will do. So I stood still and didn’t blink an eye and pretended like I was a tree. I don’t think it fooled the cougar, but I was downwind from it, which means the wind was blowing toward me instead of toward it so it couldn’t smell me. After what seemed like forever, but was actually only a couple of minutes,I’m sure, it calmly stood up, turned and walked off into the forest and I just made as much noise as I could. I picked up a big stick and started swinging it around to look big and dangerous, and walked past where the cougar had been and went home. I often heard a cougar out in the woods, screaming not far from my front door at night. It sounded like a woman screaming, and the first time I heard it I thought some woman was being attacked by somebody or something. I called my neighbor up the road to make sure she was OK and she started laughing and told me not to worry, that it was just a cougar. So yes, cougars are very very common here. They just usually hide from people so most people don’t know how close they are to them. We don’t have many grizzly bears in this part of the country, but we do have black bears which are smaller and not as vicious. Love your videos, yes, please more of your mom.! 🙂
❤Mum is back! Pump it up😂
6:00 yogi bear is from jellystone a pun on Yellowstone
When I was a kid, I thought there really was a place called Jellystone 😆 I thought bedrock was a real place too.
In Derry, NH we have bears that come into our back yards, especially in the spring when they are waking up. We are given warnings to bring in our bird feeders as they will lure the hungry bears in. Derry is a small town of about 35,000 people and an area of 36 sq miles. But, it's not out in the boon docks - Manchester is just a town away!
Loving mom in this video!!! More of her please. Your reactions to each other is classic mom and son. Great video.
Growing up I was taught that Alligators can only run in a straight line so when trying to get away from one you have to run as fast as you can in a zigzag pattern in order to get away in time.
Gators whip with their tails and snap to the side. They can sneak up on ya with just a couple inches of water.
My hubby and I were stationed in New Orleans. We went fishing one day. Hubby was fishing & I took a walk. He called for me and I did an about face, took 2 steps and a gator ran out from where I was standing. I ran back to him. And we saw 2 more gators in the water coming at us. We grabbed the poles, tackle box and ran. 🤣
Polar bears are CARNIVOROUS while Brown and Black Bears are Omnivores
Grizzly bears eat salmon, caribou,deer and humans when they can catch them.
No. No spiders for me. We also have black widows all down south. I love momma shouting out Yogi Bear!!!
Love when Mum shares the screen with you. It is nice to see her first reactions to things and comes at it from a different perspective.
Love the mum videos ❤ 🇺🇸 🇬🇧
Also love Lew educating mum on American creatures 🤣😂
I'm in Arizona at an elevation of over 5000 feet. Snow in the winter, and scorpions too. And snakes, centipedes, bears, big cats, and don't forget the elk can get pretty cranky, especially during rut.
A man a couple of miles from me was outside enjoying his morning coffee when a bear got ahold of him. The bear dragged him off and was consuming him by the time a neighbor could shoot the bear.
Sedona?
Close. Prescott.
@@sjo7869 that was my second guess. My sis lives in Cottonwood and my daughter in Tucson. I moved from California to Georgia
