What the Navy did to one of their own, throwing Capt. McVay under the bus like that, was absolutely SHAMEFUL. Disgusting.
Hey welcome to the world :D
Unfortunately all branches do i mean look at the government who runs these agencies
The fact that the enemy that litteraly clapped his ship even tried to justify McVays actions really says something
@@highcountrydelatite Where was this??
The same thing happened in 2020. The captain of the USS Theodore Roosevelt reached out for help because half his ship got infected with the virus and didn't want his sailors to suffer. Because his request went public, the Navy removed him from the ship for pretty much embarrassing the Navy in front of the whole world
The part about the navy captain who took his life holding onto a toy sailor he treasured as a kid is legitimately one of the saddest things I've heard. 🥺
I started crying
Yes. And another aspect of this tragedy was how forgotten it was. It is entirely possible that without the movie Jaws, his name might not have been cleared. Robert Shaw's portrayal of Quint left us with the idea that the sharks were the only reason men died, but it was memorable. I think entire generations would have forgotten this completely without that film (mine included).
Without that portrayal as reminder, would enough people have heard of it to make the Navy reconsider?
If you want to hear more abt the story, Wendigoon made a great video on the US Indianapolis
If it makes you feel better had he not been court martialed he would have continued serving in the navy that kept all of Asia working in slave/sweat shops and ensured that the neither rose up nor traded the goods they made without paying a cut.
Oh and the people who unfairly Court martialed him continued to be influential and highly regarded for the rest of their lives.

As soon as I heard "Took is own life holding a sailor figure from childhood" just absolutely destroyed me... honestly felt a genuine hit to my gut.
Fffuuhhh, I know right? I will probably never forget that line, poor guy. I choked up.
That part also hit hard. I hope he found peace he deserves it.
Humans are the cruelest species. I've known this most of my life.
You ever hear something like that and youre whole body just feels like every nerve has come alive and your skin is buzzing uncomftably? Yeah, when he said that part it was like my stomach dropped and i had that feeling. I mean the enemy captain even said he couldnt have done anything. And those families sending hate mail and death threats? They suck too
@@moralityisnotsubjective5 Yes and you are one of them.
What’s more terrifying of Gustav’s story is that researchers observing him witness many times Female Crocodiles easily submitting to him the moment he rolls up. Which means he may very well have generations of offsprings.

"There are more tigers in the United States than the rest of the world." That is both horrifying and depressing.
It's true. At this point we are keeping them safe and alive in zoos. It's really the only way to keep them from going extinct due to humans over hunting them for herbal medicines and such.
technically, there are more tigers in TEXAS than the rest of the world
Nah thats fascinating, white/black/latino/native people are more dangerous

Hello sire
Those fuckers can snap the leg bone of a giraffe.
I had a teacher in elementary school who served in the army during Vietnam. He told us a story about an encounter with a tiger. They were patrolling through the jungle when the bushes rattled and a tiger ran right between the middle of the platoon. Didn’t kill or injure anyone directly but one of the soldiers suffered a major mental breakdown. He had to be sent back state side and was discharged. The tiger wasn’t trying to attack so they first thought it was running due to an imminent ambush but nothing happened after so they must have accidentally got too close and spooked it themselves.
I think the general stress of jungle patrols in the Vietnam War (constant fear of VC ambush, landmines, losing friends) would have been piling up anyway. The tiger was probably just the straw that broke the camel's back.

Fun animal fact: Spiders have very large brains for their size, some spiders have brains that take up 80% of their body. Spider brains can also take on very interesting shapes, existing not only in the spiders head, but spilling into other body cavities and legs. These large brains are important for spiders for executing activities like web building or hunting.
there's a fact about one of my favourite creatures i didn't know about.
As interesting as this is, I don't think I'll ever not be terrified of them. During a camping trip when I was maybe 4 years old, I put my hand in my jacket pocket. Something felt weird so I pulled my hand back out to look. There was a big black b@stard clamped onto my thumb. I screamed and shook it off. I can't be sure, but that might be why I'm so d@mn scared of them. I don't even like seeing the word typed out, which is why I avoided using it. Pathetic, I know lol
Still a cool fact, though. Oh, and just for the record, I don't kill them. I make my husband or one of my kids trap them and put them outside.
@@katie7748 I respect the hell out of you. I adore spiders but my best friend was arachnophobic. It took me years to convince him to not just kill them on sight and let me relocate them. I know how difficult it can be. Well done.
@@katie7748 I woke up on the top bunk of my bunk bed just as this big spider was repelling down from the ceiling, right over my face. I rolled out of the top bunk like it was a normal bed, not sure how I made it over the rail so easily and that right there is the moment I blame lmao.

“Generational trauma means you have an animal with the tools of a predator, but the mindset of prey.”
A chillingly accurate description of most large primates, in fact.
Bears are not primates.
Primates are not predators by nature. Most truly powerful animals are peaceful creatures unprovoked
@@kissit012 Chimps, bonobos, and humans are predators by nature, and tarsiers are fully carnivorous. Predators aren't inherently less peaceful than non-predators, either. Many herbivores are plenty willing to kill, and pretty much any animal will eat meat opportunistically.
@kissit012
Primates may be more opportunistic than outright predatory, but no one can deny that most of them have the tools of a predator due to their intelligence alone.
And then we have a hairless ape that has physically evolved into a prey, but has the mindset of a predator (yes I'm talking about humans)
Describing sloth bears as having "all the tools of a predator but the mindset of prey" alone managed to simply yet succinctly put into words why they're a terrifying animal far more effectively than I could in the span of an entire paragraph.
I’d honestly rather run into a grizzly bear, rather than a sloth bear.

😂😭 I literally cannot with this response. It's the most Boomer YT comment I've read all week, lmfao, and I'm cackling 🤣
The worst part about the scapegoating of Captain McVay came out decades later: There were people much more directly responsible for the lack of response and enormous death toll who were known to the navy, but not punished in order to save face. From Wikipedia:
"The vessel's failure to arrive on schedule was known at once to Gibson, who failed to investigate the matter and made no immediate report of the fact to his superiors."
"Declassified records later showed that three stations received the signals but none acted upon the call. One commander was drunk, another had ordered his men not to disturb him, and a third thought it was a Japanese trap."
Hell, the Japanese captain who sank the ship - who **lost his family to the bomb that the ship delivered** - did more to help McVay than his own superiors.
The scapegoating of McVay may have had something to do with the fact that his father had reprimanded a junior officer who, by WWII, was in command of the entire US Navy.
@@Cybermat47oh that’s fucking dirty.
@@Cybermat47yeah that certainly would make the decision easier for him. Especially if he was disciplined bad enough that it's remembered
@@Cybermat47 Sounds about right, good people have little defense against higher ups who wanna save themselves or have a bone to pick. The military is filled with goosesteppers and people that let power control them. And before anyone says anything, I'm military.

Yo...the story about Capt. McVay made tears well up in my eyes. The way, he was blamed, vilified, terrorized which ultimately led up to him taking his own life for something he didn't cause or couldn't fix is just wild...smh...I hate to he didn't get to experience his redemption.

You're right, it is very sad and quite honestly disgraceful. Nobody deserves what happened to him, nevermind someone who was a military leader who tried to help his crew and went through the hell of the ocean that he did.
@@kyleguajardo lmfao how do you get through the day when you're constantly crying and sobbing about life HAHAHA Weak weirdo
The fact that a group of people who were his enemies were like "there is NOTHING he could have done" really says something about the unfairness of the situation.
My late father in law had history with both the Indianapolis and Ramree tragedies .He lost several friends and relatives in the Indianapolis sinking and he knew a couple of survivors also .He was a former POW of the Japanese during his service .Both of these had a huge and traumatic effect on him for the rest of his life .There are legitimate and horrifying reasons for the expression war is hell .

I hope he lives a good life after war, it must very much damaging him :(
War is inhuman
@@sneakysasquatch6014 Yet it is the most human thing. I've yet to see other animals do that. Sure, there are battles/fights but I've never seen any other species go to war.
@@blenderpain8249 I guess it is in our nature as humans
The Captain of the USS Indianapolis is one of the stories from WW2 that hurts the most. When even an enemy commander says that there was nothing to be done, then blaming the captain was just petty foolishness.
I sincerely hope that every person who sent him hate mail and death threats got what they deserved for causing a good man to break.
The mission was so top secret that no-one realized the ship had gone missing. The survivors were found by coincidence by a scout plane.
The people sending him hate mails and death threats were most likely relatives of the dead sailors. They probably didn't know he was screwed over.
I've been in the Marine Corps for several years and it happens more than you think. It's honestly disgusting how political it gets.
@@lekhaclam87 That doesnt make it any better lashing out because of grief is just sad and pathetic
@@Justalilcyn I was not justifying their action, just pointed out where the hatred most likely came from.
My great Uncle was one of the few survivors of the Indianapolis, and only ever spoke of it once that I know of. I asked him why he didn't want to come to the lake (I was really little at a family reunion then) and all he ever said was that he held onto his best friend's hand as long as he could, and he was scared sh*tless of going back in there and never coming out. He refused to get in open water of any kind and would only take sponge baths sitting on a bucket in the bathtub with less than 8 inches of water.
Im sorry to hear about that man, my Grandfather was also a survivor of the USS Indianapolis' sinking. Wish I got to know him, because he died after my birth. He was there when I was born, but uh.. Yeah, I never saw him again other than in pictures.
Some phobias are understandable.
true PTSD in its strongest form
Shoooo man. Your uncle And his friend. Man that's just idk. Gruesome..
That story was much more heart-wrenching than terrifying if I'm being honest. And its understandable that he wouldn't ever go into open water again. I wouldn't ever wish PTSD like that on anybody.
I remember hearing the story about Gustave , from what I remember it became a man eater cause of fights or wars that happened in Africa between 2 groups , whenever people got killed the dead bodies would get tossed into the river were the Crocs are and that's how the croc known as Gustave developed a taste for human flesh , that's when he started going after live people to eat
I think you're referring to the Rwandan genocide. Not sure if Gustave was living in Rwanda at that time, but crocs can travel far and maybe he moved after the genocide ended. Interesting theory. Also terrifying, because it implies that he would not have been the only one eating the bodies. 😨😱
@@audreydimmel6674i think there were other fights that happened way before the Rwandan genocide that happened , so I think he's been eating people way before that ......who knows maybe he's not the only biggest croc around over there , Gustave def was more in a sense popular cause they could recognize him by the scars that he has and supposedly he killed and ate 200 to 300 hundred people including the already dead people that he ate , so it might be way more people than estimated
@@audreydimmel6674 Maybe Gustave didn't just have NordVPN. But also a travel visa. He is nothing if not resourceful.
Fun fact: The second story about the sharks was featured in the movie Jaws as a story told by one of the protagonists, Quint, a character that had sailed on the Indianapolis. His account is nearly identical to the one CG tells.
And the first story got a whole movie adaptation (the ghost and the darkness)
Neat
@@TheLalacream Wow didnt know that. I can see the parallels now.
@@TheLalacream I love the movie, i cant tell what part I loved the most but I do recal that baboon scene made me nearly soil my pants first time I watched it.
@@TheLalacream
I remember that one. They didn't mention them being maneless, though. And the lions used certainly weren't maneless, which is likely why it's not mentioned.
My step-dads father was one of a few marines that were asked to switch ship assignments right before the USS Indianapolis took off and was sunk. I got to go to the premier of a documentary they released a while back, interviewing the remaining survivors to tell their story. It was harrowing. They said that there were so many sharks beneath them, that they could walk along their backs. The most horrific thing that's never really brought up was when the sailors were finally rescued, they were so waterlogged that their flesh would rip right off their arms when they were pulled into the ship.
In addition to dehydration, salt poisoning, and exposure, most were covered in tar and oil from their ship, blinding a lot of men.
Some of the men would simply give up, and sink beneath the waves to allow themselves to be eaten by sharks as well.
Funny thing is that the captain of the Japanese submarine was actually officially made a member of the survivors group.
Holy crap. Im imagining it and its not a good sight.
Damn
Man what kind of life can one expect to live after survivng something like that. Death would be better.
Dang dude 👀
Makes it all the more disgraceful how the captain was treated after everything that happened.
The Tsavo brothers, or as they are nicknamed "the Ghost and the Darkness", may have been a terrifying story. But they were tame housecats, compared to the lions of Njombe. 😬
Story goes that in the Njombe District in southern Tanzania, humans exterminated the natural prey of lions to protect livestock from the rinderpest virus. So a pride of lions started preying on people instead. Unlike the Tsavo brothers, the Njombe pride attacked mostly during the day, instead using nights to move up to 20 miles to the next unsuspecting village; even worse, the mothers passed down to their cubs how to hunt and eat humans. In the end, the region was terrorized by three generations of lions that, between 1932 and 1947, killed up to 1,500 (!) people.
The Lions of Njombe sound terrifying, just wish I could read about it instead of a watching movie.
See, that's why you BEFRIEND the lions! Then they only eat a FEW of you! Mostly the weak ones you don't need anyway... >:3
😬
And then we went on a killing spree like we always do, and made lions an endangered species in the 2000s, they're now at "Vulnerable" but their population is still decreasing.
And this folks is why we should care about what we do to our environment, the lions don't eat you if they don't have to!

Many (not all, though) of those railway workers from India were indentured labors. The lives and experiences of these workers form a large body of absolutely fascinating literature in India. As a kid, I was introduced to Mombasa, the Black Mamba, and various aspects of east, central, and south-central African culture and wildlife through these writings. One novel in particular is very well known. It's called "The Moon Mountain": the story of one such railway worker whose journey starts in Mombasa, then takes him through a long and complex journey starting with the lion attacks you discuss in this video, all the way to South Africa. And yes, the protagonist gets to see Mount Kilimanjaro, the moon mountain. I have read that novel maybe ... 15 times ... and I will still read it when I get a chance, now that I am almost 40 years old.
can you please name the book? I would love to read it.

Bruh Gustavo is like a horror villain or a mythological being the way he’s described. Almost like a story to keep children out of dangerous waters but he actually existed.
In a similar story with the horror monster being human (arguably) was Tarrare a French peasant who according to surviving autopsy reports after his death was basically a mutant (and not the X Man kind) his entire body was structured in such a way that it focused everything on the singular purpose of eating, with extremely enlarged Stomach, Intestines, Throat and Mouth. He was said to have such a large sagging mouth that he could fit a dozen eggs in his mouth with no issues, and could eat a quarter of a cow by himself as a 13 year old kid, you’d think he’d be fat but he was actually only 100 pounds as an adult because his body processed and burned through the food inhumanly fast that when he wasn’t fat on food he had large stretched out flaps of skin. He was kicked out because his family were poor peasants and his parents could not afford to feed him. He would resort to eating trash and becoming a street performer just to sate his unending hunger. Even this wasn’t enough because he eventually found himself in the care of doctors wanting to see what was wrong with this bottomless pit of a man who was never not hungry. The list of things he ate was a full course meal meant for 12 all on his own, a living real that he ate whole, a cat that he snapped in half, drank it’s blood, ate whole and later coughed up its hair like an owl, and (all this food not being enough) he would regularly sneak out to drink blood from patients, nearly eat cadavers, eat trash and a 4 month old baby. I may not be a doctor but they these people were looking over a demon.
There are theories in historical circles about how leviathan from the Bible was likely a saltwater crocodile, just like the “dragon” St. George fought in his tale was likely a Nike monitor.
@@Broomer52 Found the (fellow) Sam O Nella fan.

@Ludvig Renström pretty sure it was never disproven
For anyone interested, the story of the murderous lions was turned into a movie back in the 90s starring Val Kilmer and Michael Douglas called The Ghost and the Darkness. It's actually a really great movie.
I watched it when I was a child. In VHS tape. It was terrifying, imagine it happening in real life 😢
This video unlocked a childhood memory of watching how it was filmed and what it was based off of and it very much solidified my respect/fear for wild animals

I am a Navy veteran. That one horrible miscarriage of Justice with Captain McVeigh actually fills me with shame for the disgusting scapegoating perpetrated on the captain. I actually feel a helpless rage when I come across this story. I remember vividly when I first came across the story and it was watching Jaws in the theater when I was about 16 years old.
Its crazy you type this, a comment just two above you says that the captain was done dirty, because even enemy commanders commented that nothing could be done, but people still blamed the captain. The dude got death threats apparently, when it doesnt seem to be his fault :/

@@acid_tongue_4315 I mean what hell could he have done, his ship was hit and sinking in shark infested waters.
@Acid_tongue _ And they refused to give him any escort destroyers to protect them in case of a sub attack, which was against Navy protocol, but they arrogantly shrugged him off as being paranoid. We foolishly just assumed the Japanese were defeated & had nothing left like they were gonna just lay down without a fight. Cpt. McVeigh knew they wouldn't & begged them to reconsider & when he turned out to be completely right they scapegoated him instead of having the balls to admit they were wrong.

We were taking a tour of a farm on the outskirts of the city and as I came around a corner in one of the animal pens a tiger slapped me on the chest. I walked away but needed quite a few stitches, the farmer simply told us to ignore it until it chose to leave. When it did, a group of cubs were with it.

Like he said, the true mosnters aren't the sharks here. They at least have a good reason to act like this, but not the families. Yes they're hurting, but so is the survivor. I bet you can shut them up if you let them imagine their lost children or family being put in his position. Survived a horrific event, gets probably ptsd and then on top of that years of harrassment and reminders to keep the ptsd fresh.

you should've mentioned the sankebetsu brown bear incident! during the period of time where hokkaido in japan was being explored and settled, there was one bear that absolutely terrorized one of the villages that cropped up. it kept coming back for five days, killed seven people, and it took several hunters and gunshot wounds to take it down.
Gustave and the Tsavo Lions were probably the most terrifying of them all. One of the lions was shot several times at close range with a rifle and even as it was in it's death throes it STILL tried to kill the guy who shot it.
Gustave has a kill count of allegedly 300 plus and is borderline unkillable given the scars on his body indicate that people have tried and failed. Unlike most of these animals listed, Gustave *might still be out there*
It's reported that, while unlikely, Gustave may have survived a blast from a rocket launcher that barely missed him. He's surprisingly durable. His skin had gotten so thick that the only widely available gun in that area (an ak-47) wouldn't even pierce his hide. The only effective way to get Gustave to get away wa to drop a live grenade in the water, which shows just how intelligent this reptile is.
r we sure gustave is a normal croc? he seems way too powerful to have gotten those mutations in a handful of generations.
Allow me to make the hyena slightly more terrifying, unlike in humans, hyenas have a relatively low mortality from rabies meaning it didn't necessarily die, it might have just recovered from the disease and kept living its life
@@spingus_bingus987 yeah, no. There's tough, and then there's 'take a weapon that rips apart tanks' fantasy. Regardless of surviving a close impact (which he likely wouldn't), there would be the countless sharpnel that would imbed and infect him, which is lethal in the wild.
Additionally, his size would make it pretty hard to miss him, so the whole 'he could still be out there' thing is bogus.
@@blake3631 the whole "he could still be out there" thing isnt bogus, yes the rpg would've killed him, but how do we know someone even shot him with an rpg?, the real question should be "how the hell did he get that big" because normal crocodiles DONT get that big, oh and also most crocodiles are pretty much immune to diseases.
Out of all these stories, the Tsavo Maneaters are by far one of my favorites, and the film based around the story amplifies this statement. Because imagine being a worker working on this railroad before your back end meets a lion's jaws, that would be one of the most terrifying things to see before you end up getting past tensed.

Fear, respect, admiration and curiosity. A croc that big would be trouble even for a fully grown bull elephant.
The Tsavo lions also got a really good movie adaption called "The Ghost and the Darkness", starring Val Kilmer and Michael Douglas. It's a great 90s flick that really captures how scary it must have been for those being hunted by these two lions and gives them even a mysterious, unnatural aura.
I remember watching it as a kid, had it on a good old vcr XD. Freaked me tf out, but I still watched it again from time to time.
There's also a video on them by Bob Gymlan that is fantastically narrated and illustrated
Loved this too as a kid but honestly had no idea it was a true story. Pretty damn amazed to have learned this and will probably go watch it again tonight
I just commented this, I’m glad someone else remembered and pointed it out. Very good movie and I’m not a movie person.
Those lions are now actually taxidermy in the Field Museum in Chicago, I used to see them every time we went!
“Fun fact?”, Jaws was the first movie To bring the USS Indianapolis incident to the public, in fact, a crew member skipped out on a party celebrating the films release and success, cause he discovered one of his sons had been killed by a Shark during the incident.

This is a fact of WW2 ship sinkings thats not really talked about much is all the people who got ate by sharks floating in the waters hoping for rescue.

The story of the man-eating lions of Tsavo is probably the scariest story I’ve ever heard. I think what makes the story so scary is that it taps into the primal fear of man.
People very very very easily forget today that there's a reason we made it out of the bush
There’s a movie on it. The Ghost and the Darkness
If you haven't read John Patterson's "The Man-eaters of Tsavo" I highly recommend it. At the beginning of the film Ghost and the Darkness it says "even the most unbelievable parts of this story are true.". Well, it's more like "ONLY the most incredible parts are true." Patterson recounts it in such a matter-of-fact way, but the horror of the incident is not diminished.
I think whats scarier was the companies disregard for han life. No one helped them and those poor men suffered alone. No creature is scarier than a human.

It’s so weird to see you so serious, I’m honestly impressed at the fact you’re able to be so entertaining no matter the tone.
What's even more scary about tigers is that, when you see them note that they've been watching you for the last 30 minutes, I saw this one video with a guy in an elephant's back and as they were going through what looks to be a rice field, you hear the tiger roar, and the thing is, you don't see it until it literally leaped of the grass and over the elephant and almost taking off one of the guys hands with one quick swipe, like it ran through the bushes but you couldn't see or hear it, only it's roar, it's fur might look like one of the worst camouflage but it's actually one of the best
For us is visible, but for many animals, that orange that makes it stand out for us, is completely green. This means that, for many animals tigers hunt... They are like ghosts before they strike, that perspective is simply horrifying
Man, this episode was DARK, but befitting the season. And you presented it with the proper reverence, I applaud you.
The first story was turned into a movie titled "The Ghost and the Darkness" staring Val Kilmer. It is actually a very intense movie and the lions of that area were not only bigger than other parts of Africa, but also lacked manes so the usual lion traps had little effect. Of all the examples here, I had heard of I think four of them before tonight.
I'm sad that more people don't know about it - it's one of my favourite movies. I got punched in the gut with how old I am when I told a coworker it came out in 1996 and she said "aw, that's the year I was born!"
Both lions are mounted in the Chicago Field Museum. Recently the taxidermy was refurbished so they look much more lifelike. Isn't that charming?
This is an amazing movie. I didn't realize it was based on a true story. The scariest part is how accurate it was adapted. I had no idea some of the more crazy parts of that movie actually happened!
@@cosmicturban2797 You’d be amazed at how inaccurate it is. First and foremost the hunter, played by Michael Douglas, didn’t exist. It was only John Patterson. The scene, where Patterson was discussing the number of people killed to the railroad owner, was wrong. Patterson, in the first edition of the book he wrote of the incident, stated 35 workers died not the 40s and higher the movie states. The higher number that was attributed much later, was reporting about 100 villagers were killed, not railroad workers. Subsequent studies of the skeletons and fur of the lions downgraded that number back down to 35 with the lion with the root tip abscess being blamed for at least 25 of the humans being killed.

Gustav is like those old Chinese folklores of an ancient tiger with human intelligence living on cursed grounds (usually a mountain) and preying on innocent souls.
They are told to be the reincarnated spirits of long deceased, but once malevolent and feared warriors, given the ultimate form for them to continue their reign at the top of the food chain. Their rage never-ending, their bloodlust always hungering them, they exist for nothing else but to see living beings breathe their last breath of air at their feet.
Ironic you compare it to a crocodile when we literally have a murder-tiger in the same video. XD
@@azuroslazuli6948 yeah but that’s different from the stories. The murder tigers slaughtered their victims out of pure need, Gustav did it just because he could.
People really underestimate how intelligent animals can be. I saw an article on Gustavo showing that there was an actual bounty put out on him, it was supposed to be $90,000 or something like that to whoever could kill Gustavo. Unfortunately we don't need to be told how that went. Also I would like to point out that we don't even know the limit to a crocodiles age. The life expectancy of a crocodile is supposed to be 20 years but there are Crocs that have been around since Eisenhower was in office and most of them are still alive to this very day.

Seeing the two lions at the museum as a kid gave me chills and my grandma playing the movie over and over before me seeing them did not help😅😅😅. RIP to all who lost there lives to those two man eaters. It’s weird cause of course they didn’t look big cause they’re stuffed and dead so I was confused how these skinny lions would deal so much damage till I realized hell they were alive they where probably giant and then seeing the pictures it finally clicked.
One thing I found out is that they weren't properly treated when stuffed, because of that they actually shrank over time and are now smaller than what they use to be.
@@briannahines627 thanks for the info it still kinda just confused me, but you made it clear.
@@deucethomas3652 You're welcome 🤗. If you want to know more you should check out Bob Gymlan's video where he goes full in-depth about the whole story. That's where I learned about the skin shrinking. It's really interesting and he's a good story teller. It's called The FULL story of the Man-Eating Lions of Tsavo.
I got to see one of them at the Smithsonian, and while he was scrawny remember noticing his paws were massive enough I got a pretty good idea of how much damage he could do.
Wish you talked more about the rabid hyena. Because the hyena attack happened in the village like clockwork every 40 years or so... with frightening consistency of it being a rabid hyena, and the same season. It was why it scared 4,000 people to move away from the village.
So Pennywise's tunnels go that far huh?
@@nathanielhughes8071 Pretty sure Steven King used that story as a basis for Pennywise' coming back.
It happened other years? Then it wasn't a rabid hyena. Rabies kills the animal short after the agressive behaviour starts showing. If that hyena really existed in the first place it died within the same year (even being generous) of the first attack
@@Killmewithfire If it was 40 years apart, it most definitely wasn't the same hyena. But each time the hyena attacked, it acted rabid. No idea if they ever caught or killed any of them.
40 years is too long for nearly any wild animal to be the same. The peculiarity is that it kept happening over and over in the same village.
@@Zachomara Oh 40 years. I missread
The first story about the lions was made in a movie, The Ghost and The Darkness, and I was on the edge of my seat during the whole run time. I can’t imagine the fear and anxiety that those poor men felt as workers died in droves, and wondered who would survive the night.
I remember my parents making my sister and I watch that movie as kids. To this day I have never finished it, and it's probably the reason I stay far away from the horror genre.
Dude, the voice actor they hired to play the lion food part pretty much killed it. He probably has his pick of true crime documentaries at this point.
I'm glad the story of the Japanese encountering man-eating crocodiles was brought up.
It was one of the most interesting (if not horrifying) stories I've heard in all my time studying WWII
That story has been debunked i believe
@@virgilfranken873 is it not just the *number* that’s been debunked? Like most Japanese soldiers weren’t eaten alive by crocodiles (as opposed to what was originally rumored with only 20 surviving) but I thought it wasn’t entirely ruled out that *some* may have been eaten by crocs.
When he said "the true monsters of the story... weren't the sharks" I realized that this is true for most of Casual Geographic stories...
I can see casual geographic actually loves animals, something I appreciate a lot, humans are usually the worst monsters.

I remember seeing a wiki page about The Wolves of Ashta, a pack of six, man eating wolves that killed around 17 children in Ashta, Madhya Pradesh in 1985. There were two adult males, one adult female, one subadult female and two pups. From what I remember on the page, all the wolves except the pups were killed and they couldn’t find any evidence as to why they started hunting humans.

I actually read about the shark attack in a CHILDREN’S book as a kid. It described it in horrific detail, but it’s the details that keep you reading about it. I had nightmares for days. My sister also told me about the Lion attack when I was little. It kind of explains why I can’t sleep without white noise anymore. Silence just unnerves me now.
That sounds like a fked up book if it was for children. Kids don't need to be exposed to the harshness of reality that soon especially not in descriptive detail. I wonder what the motive was for publishing that book.
@@Totalinternalreflection The original Grimm fairy tales were for children and the unsanitized not for Disney version were VERY dark. Such tales were once meant to teach children correct morals for growing into adulthood.
@@Totalinternalreflection It was a fact book about sharks, but you could tell by the font and how short the paragraphs were that it was meant for kids, so they probably just threw that in there. I don’t know how it got in there either
That last black and white picture of the man with the tiger wasn't the man eater of champawat, it was the bachelor of powalgarh, (who wasn't a man eater but was really big, which is why people were trying to get him as a trophy.) They were both killed by the same person, Jim Corbett. There's an old book he wrote on all the different man eating tigers he hunted called 'Man-Eaters of Kumaon', its a super interesting read, definitely recommend it.
There was a movie made based on those lions called The Ghost and The Darkness. It's old but not bad. One of the theories as to why the lions became man eaters was the crews working on the train tracks depleted the lion's prey options by either their own hunting or just scaring everything away. Also the lair of the lions was found to be full of human remains.
Old? 1996 is old now? Now you make me feel old. :D

I love the fact that I knew about more than half of these animals beforehand. I am fascinated by animals who decided human are in fact no longer on the top of the food chain. However, I had not heard about the rabid hyena, would love to learn more about those incidents. Great video as always Casual Geographic.
Although it might be because of a lack of info on the story (and if it is, then it's not Casual's fault), but I would've wanted to hear a bit more about that rabid hyena story. It felt a tad short compared to all the other stories.
Ive never heard about the hyena either! That would be so scary because rabies essentially causes you to go batshit insane and aggressive as hell
Something I find terrible about these storys is that the actions of these singular animals had an effect on the species as a whole. Usually resulting in the hunting of that species around the area to increase even when the true culprit was killed.

the video was so intense and I was staring at my laptop intensely until you went into the sponsor, and it caught me so off guard that I laughed out loud. Awesome transition
For hundreds of years now, many of us humans have forgotten what it's like to be prey to another, more dangerous animal. But no matter how advanced we get, technologically or otherwise, nature will always be a force to be reckoned with. When larger threats, like war and strife, have us beaten, nature will be there to pick us off at our weakest.
Nature is kind of terrifying that way.
These stories just increase my drive to abandon our meaty bodies and ascend to ones made of metal.
I'd transfer my consciousness into a robot body anyday over keeping this meaty one.
Then we can really show nature who's boss. I'd love to blow a hole through each animal in this video with a mini gun arm. Or blast them to pieces with a shoulder mounted rpg
I was a kid when one of my relatives rented "The Ghost and The Darkness" and let me watch it. That account of the maneating lions gave me nightmares for months. Then I hit middle school age and that fear turned into fascination for the case.
Yeah they played that on a tour bus at night, so I was pretty much glued to the screen. When I got to the hotel, I kept imagining the space in between the hotel beds a lion would pounce from there and rip me in half. I couldn’t sleep, and to this day I remember that movie and how terrified it made me lol
One of the best movies I've ever watched
Yeah dude i can imagine.I watched it when i was like 15 (i think) and i was creeped out by the movie .
Imagine that experience in real life!
It really didn't creep me out my dad was the one who got me to watch it I really can't remember how old I was when I first watched it but it's still one movie that gets me and my dad excited to watch
Your content is my new addiction. So thank you! Neat fact about the Lions in the beginning, they were the Ghosts in the Darkness. There was a movie made about the lions of Savo (spelled wrong I'm sure) called the Ghosts in the Darkness and it was my favorite movie growing up.
I definitely want to see that one. It was a while ago that I learned of the man-eating lions of Tsavo. 😮
Another good story is the man-eating leopard of Rydraprayag, A Jim Corbett story that can be found here too on YT. My favorite is on scary Animal attack channel.
After watching this, I researched the most prolific man-eaters. There's a lot of them. There's quite a gruesome case involving a Japanese brown bear actually. It's called the Sankebetsu brown bear incident

You da mvp
Fun Fact: One of the most iconic scenes/speeches in the movie Jaws was actually about the USS Indianapolis tragedy.
Idk why but even as a kid i always had a bad feeling that movie was based on something more brutal. Those poor legends that fought for their countries in the biggest conflict in history did not deserve to go out the way they did.. may they all rest in peace and i thank everyone of these men to the free world i get to live in. Lest we forget!
"The real monsters weren't the sharks"
Ya got me.
I think Gustave the croc, is probably one of the most legendary animals. He was literally a rare animal like in the FC games
Yeah, Gustav was legitimately terrifying, even more so when you realize that crocodiles don’t really die from old age either. Like, they just keep growing older and bigger until either something else kills it or a disease takes them. For Gustav, I guess he became so big he was virtually indestructible and he’d been lucky enough to avoid contracting a disease that would murk it or slow it down. I’m willing to believe he’s dead right about now if there have been no more sightings of him, cause a croc that size can’t go unnoticed for long.
I’m surprised he wasn’t a boss in a Cabela’s game or something.
FC?
Hi, I'm Malawian. I grew up on folklore about people who could turn into hyenas and terrorise entire villages so misconstruing true events with superstition is grounded in mostly folklore. There are also stories about people who can turn into crocodiles and lightning assassins.
What's a lightning assassin? o.o
@@WhistleAndSnap According to folklore, lightning assassin's are lightning strikes sent to kill a specific target. It happens irrespective of rain and can hunt down its target after landing on the ground. Think zeus throwing lightning bolts at a specific person.
@@TheAkdzyn usually it's werewolves not werecrocodiles lol
