Fun fact: A blue-ringed octopus's blue rings only appear when they feel threatened and most of the time they just look brown with brown spots.
so, how many did you hold to figure that out
@@alexheld7453 I wouldn't be here if I did. I know this because the octopus has been studied by people way more qualified than me.
So that woman in the video was *doubly* lucky. Since the blue rings appeared, that means the octopus must have been *this* close to turning her into a statistic at the slightest provocation.
@@Archimonde259 I did see the rings as brownish with a little blue hue. So I believe it either didn't feel THAT threatened, calmed down or was starting to get nervous. It would have deffo bit her if it was threatened.
So basically don't hold a blue ringed octopus if you can identify it as a blue ringed octopus

Draco lizards have wing flaps like squirrels, and they're colored like butterflies & old dinosaur depictions.
There's also flying spiders. They sense electricity in the air, and release threads that both catch the wind, and static charge. Spider flight is called Balooning.

@@lelanddyer9461 I love this comment. Thank you for brightening my day! Have a great week!
I read a story about a blue-ring bite survivor. They were rescued from the surf as the paralysis really started kicking in properly. Lifeguards responded, did mouth-to-mouth and then employed a breathing mask. During all this they were forgetting the finer points of paralysis.. like the fact that you cannot move at all. While they were breathing for this poor person, they were stuck laying on the sand, staring directly into the sun. They survived the blue ring but went blind from their rescue
WTF that's why AIs will make us obsolete
That sucks real bad. Once the breathing mask was secured they could've closed their eyes for them. It'd be more scary not being able to see what's happening but at least stuff won't fall in your eyes even with the sun not being an issue.

@@SingingSealRiana you're overreacting to my comment. I never said that life wasn't worth living and that there aren't ways to adapt to blindness.
Eyesight is a *very* important sense for humans. And most that are legally blind can still see _something._ it'd be very difficult to adapt and you need a good support system/people to help you, but it's doable to adapt to.
Edit: and I'm more than well aware of cpr consequences of ribs bruising and breaking. It seems like you're projecting someone else onto me, about that whole 'not getting involved because aftied of being sued or causing further injury.'

The one about cougars is so true. Fun fact: a cougar wont go after an adult human but they have no issue pouncing on small children. So to avoid this, children are taught to unzip their jacket and hold up the ends to make themselves look bigger.

So about the sharks - my old friend used to be an animal trainer and worked at various aquariums. He said the reason you never see great whites in aquariums is because as soon as the bump their nose on the side of the enclosure, they'll go into that trance, stop moving, which means they don't have water moving over their gills, and they suffocate. One aquarium he worked at did get a great white and it lasted about 24 hours just because my friend was INSIDE the tank with it, physically moving it around so it wouldn't suffocate.... Which was obviously not sustainable. Poor shark :/
Edit: For anyone curious, my friend's name was Colonel Dave Harris, and he trained the original Flipper as well as Lolita the orca. Those animals do not deserve to be in captivity, but holy shit he's also got some amazing stories about them. He also did wild shark "wrangling" for the Sean Connery Bond movies before American Humane Society was a thing 😅
Whats so interesting about great whites is that they often go on long straight paths, rarely ever changing their direction especially if they are not hungry, this is primarily why they cannot be contained within a aquarium because they can often travel hundreds of kilometers before changing direction. The confines of an aquarium is just too small for them to survive, meaning they keep bumping into the walls pathetically until they suffocate or injure themselves to death.
Great whites are amazing predators, they should be respected but shouldn't be feared as fear only hurts them, they are important for the ecosystem by regulating their prey animals and allow for more diversity and sustainability in our oceanic food supply. They aren't out to get anyone though will nibble on you to see if you are food or not which can be fatal.

That clip of the snake that was actively coiling up the tree was a reticulated python, in case anyone was curious. They're super awesome if captive bred, but I wouldn't want to mess with a wild adult by myself. 😂 They're monsters. 🐍🐍🐍

Finally, someone with decent advice on cougars.
I grew up in mountain lion territory and tbh, they’re not so bad. It’s mainly young males who’ve recently started hunting for themselves that are a threat. These guys have no territory and they’re usually pretty desperate, so they’ll target kids and pets. If you ever see one shot, you’ll notice how thin and scraggly they look. 🥺
The old males and the females aren’t so bad. The old man up near where I lived growing up was a cool dude. He was generally silent, you only knew he was there because you felt him watching. He did surprise my bro at the outhouse one time, while he was stalking a deer. All he did was hiss and keep going, tho.
"Stay off my lawn"
I feel like he might not have needed the outhouse after that encounter 😂😂
Theres a couple that live at my favorite hiking spot here in arizona. Very smart, very beautiful animals. My buddy and i have gotten way closer to the male more times than we ever wanted to, most hes ever done is growl, not aggressively but more to say "hey im here dont come any closer"
Good kitty, kitty
A doggo argentino killed a cougar years ago because it tried to get a child the was picking figs while it was in the fig tree. They found the dog wounded, but with the cougar dead still with the dog latched onto it's neck. The dog's name was Morocho.
The "Did'cha know that?" after the "Do you know snakes can fly" sounds like a random counter-argument that doesn't have to do anything with the subject, and the voice he makes is perfect.
Love how this guy explains everithing with humorous intentions, helpful and very informative keep it up🔥
I heard about that lion story on tv. They had a zoological dentist study the jawbone of one of the lions and he theorized that the reason the first lion started attacking the workers was because of its teeth. It showed signs of tooth decay and infection in the teeth that all lions need to chew. Therefore, chewing meat from zebras or wildebeests would have caused searing pain through the lion's jaw. Through instinct, it began to seek prey that had flesh that was considerably softer. The best candidate unfortunately turned out to be humans. The 2nd tagged along because misery loves company.
There was a major Hollywood movie about it starring Michael Douglas and Val Kilmer. _The Ghost in the Darkness._
Damn humans are really the best ‘prey’ huh? We even ducking marinate ourselves if we run away.
@@Bacteriophagebs I was about to say someone should make that into a movie that’s an insane story and I’m definitely adding that to my watchlist
@@Oregonman2011 I just noticed Iactually got the title wrong, it's _The Ghost AND the Darkness,_ not IN the Darkness.
@@Bacteriophagebs Good movie, surprisingly historically accurate.
So, the cougar! She was doing something called literally "escorting," which is exactly what you said, he got too close to her cubs so she was trying to scare him off. Coyotes will do it too! However, with coyotes, instead of trying to scare you away, they'll just follow and watch you from afar to make sure you aren't a threat and that you don't get too close, because they aren't really much into fighting and are also scared of humans.
Fun fact the guy that got escorted out by the cougar actually did several interviews and videos about his experience and harbors no ill will against her since she was just doing what a mama animal do
Yep, that's escorting, and he did everything right. I grew up where there were cougars, coyotes, and the occasional bear. With predators, you want to look big, be loud, and speak in the deepest voice you can. Puff your shoulders and arms out, stand tall, and shout. They respect a fellow predators. Run and scream, then you're prey.

@@OzixiThrill You face those animals, pray they aim for the head and kill you quick.

Great movie!
My man Val best interpretation.
Great channel and content! The now extinct Carolina parakeet was “poisonous” due to its diet of cockleburs. It was also the most cold tolerant species of parrot native across most of the Eastern half of the US. Often called snow parrots. They were driven into extinction by the arrival of Europeans to the area. A real shame our only parrot species was driven into extinction. Also that mother cougar was protecting cubs nearby. Typical behavior of mountain lions when they have cubs. She was not hunting but trying to scare the man away.
also tip about cougars to make them extra unnerving: they let you see them, they are called ghost cats for a reason.
Another trick commonly taught in cougar territory (especially for kids): Always carry some kind of walking stick. If you encounter a cougar, take off your jacket, sweater or t-shirt and hold it up with the stick, above your head. Evidently this confuses the cat into thinking you might be 12 feet tall, and not on the dinner menu

They made a movie about the 2 lions, The Ghost and the Darkness. I watched it when I was a kid and I was terrified to sleep for a week.
Loved the last remark, that was great!
When I was younger, my family lived in a rural town surrounded by forest, so we were taught a lot of things to defend ourselves from wild animals, like making yourself look bigger, speaking loudly, never turning your back, and throwing stuff around it. Because of this I spent most of my childhood in a coat with rocks in my pockets. The rocks were so I wouldn't have to worry about bending down to grand ammunition, and the coat was so I could look bigger. I'd grab the bottom corners and lift it up behind me like a peacock's tail or a cobra's hood. I never got to test it out but I feel like it would work. Not to mention the end would usually go over my head, so if they tried to attack me they'd probably get confused on where to attack
There are many animals in America that making yourself look bigger is just a challenge 😂 grizzly bears, bison, moose, wolves, polar bears. Gotta know what to use and when lol.

- Every great ape
- Most wild cats

I knew about the gliding snakes, actually! When I was a kid, I'm sure I read it in a textbook or encyclopedia somewhere, but I'd completely forgotten that I knew about it. Leave it to Casual Geographic to remind me after all of these years! Thanks, dude!
There's a few different theories as to why the Tsavo lions decided to start gnoshing on railroad workers. One is that an outbreak of Rinderpest, aka Cattle Plague, introduced by European colonial livestock severely limited their natural prey supply and humans were simply the next most readily available food source.
There is also a theory that one of the lions maybe had an infected tooth/teeth, making hunting difficult, so it went in search of easier prey from the rail camp's medical tent which just happened to be full of malaria patients.
I think I've seen a documentary about the lions. They said the same: after getting them, the hunters noticed that one had an infected tooth.

2 is correct. Great movie! Very underrated.
The cougar video starts with him seeing the cub under some trees far away, and if I remember correctly he basically goes “oh shit” before the mother comes out of no where. He also yells at her to go back to her babies multiple times, so yeah he’s spot on with that, as usual.

There are actually MORE poisonous birds, it's a field that isn't well-studied but some quails are poisonous as well, among others
Excuse me but why
I can believe that. They eat berries, insects, and spiders so some probably developed an immunity to the venom or poison and take it on as their own protection. I'm pretty sure I read about a butterfly that is poisonous if it lands on your skin, too....
Oi, I remember watching a movie about those Lions in history class.

150 kills is more than the majority of highly decorated soldiers. Even if it's split between the two, imagine a sniper team with 150 confirmed. Amazing.
Yep, starring Val Kilmer and Kurt Russell, great movie...I forget the name of the movie though
The Ghost and The Darkness
Also, it's Michael Douglas you're thinking of, not Kurt Russell, but Kurt would've been just as good.
1996 Good movie. Recommend. Dang. It doesn't feel like it was that long ago.
@@whosasking8839 Oh yeah, Michael Douglas, thanks
The story about the lions in Kenya were the basis of the movie The Lion and the Darkness, it's a badass movie, and pretty accurate to what happened in real life. I highly recommend watching it.
The Tsavo lions are on display at the Field Museum in Chicago along with both skulls. the museum also has a large collection of photos and other documents related to them.
I know most would freak out over the paragliding snake... but I honestly think it's awesome.
And adorable.
I like Snakes in general.
Yeah but you did hear him right? They usually do that to avoid other animals. If i saw one flying overhead id be terrified of what its running from
@@deadturret4049 Yeah, I watched the video. But how many people are going to freak out over a flying snake vs a flying snake fleeing from something?
Vast majority see the snake and think it is attacking them, which it isn't.
“Happy Halloween”
Me: Dude, it’s November already!😂
But thank you, Happy (late) Halloween to you too Casual Geographic!
He posted the first clip on Halloween on TikTok.
Remember wen it was called hood nature
The bit about bird mamas "Poking and prodding around the cloaca" reminds me of how I have had to pretty much do the same thing to kittens. It's a thing you have to do for them (if there is no parent obvs) because when they are born they can't poop themselves
Oh yeah, the kitten tummy+butt massage. Mama cats lick/massage the babies to encourage them to poop/pee after feeding, but when you're dealing with young orphan kittens you just gotta make do with warm wipes/cloths. It's fascinating to see that other species have similar mechanisms tbh (especially since, by comparison, human babies have no problem shitting themselves all over the place lmao)
@@katsucandy Yeah haha. It's gross but they're so small so it's not like it will make a mess. And as gross as human newborns are, at least we never have to do that for them 💀
The Ghost and The Darkness was a fantastic film
Funny thing about the lions in that story. When I was working with the Ugandans while stationed in Iraq I asked them about this story. They confirmed that the lions were indeed a problem that needed to be dealt with, but mentioned something I hadn't heard about those events that might explain a little more about the estimated number of workers lost. The cannibal tribes in that area were known for being extremely talented with their bows and could both silently, and accurately drop an arrow down from the sky into someones dome piece in a way that makes snipers look obsolete.
😳 whoa
"Lions? Yeah, lions can be a problem, but what you really gotta watch out for is the cannibal archers." "... the.. the what?"
@@thrackerzodthefandomnerd4267 😆 yeah, pretty much how it went
Okay so the tapeworm thing is interesting: So basically, the theory why you lose some of your allergic reactions when you are infected with tapeworms, is that tapeworms and other bigger parasites (ergo everything bigger than bacteria) are actually taken care of by a very specific part of your immune system that, under current modern day circumstances, mostly has nothing to do. But because our immune system sucks at being dormant because it literally is defending us 24/7 and the parasitic risk is so low, it might be looking for other stuff that it can go buckwild on. And because it is not well adjusted since it's never used, it goes completely overboard when that part of your immune system actually has to act. That's called an Allergic reaction or an Allergic Shock
So there have been some studies, in Germany about purposefully infecting people with tapeworms to actually occupy that part of the immune system and so avoiding the consequences of such a bored immune system. It has shown some results, but since it's still needs peer reviewing and all that stuff, this is for now just a theory. Interesting nonetheless.
Thanks for talking about it at least that was the most freaky part for me!
Long story short, allergies happens because your immune system is paranoid, and tapeworms know how to shut it off
@@wilsonweiseng6485 Lupus is similar in that the immune system gets triggered and starts attacking the body itself. (also kinda what happens during the immune T-storm that covid can cause...)

@@gaskamp2 House:Its never Lupus
Best wildlife commentary ever. You need your own TV show just for adults 😂 love your content ❤
Tell you what 2 years later and that title still gets me
Up Next Casual Geographic shall explain scientifically accurate Dune Sandworms
Casual Geographic, dude, not Arrakis Geographic
There's enough nightmare material on earth
Oh god…
Someone say Darude Sandstorm?
Tonight on Top gear: flying snakes, poison birds, and a homicidal golf ball
The shark thing reminds me of how you can hypnotize a rabbit by cradling them like a baby and tipping their head down a bit. They go into a catatonic state, basically hypnotized. I think this is because mother rabbits (like mother rodents) need to lick them down there to get them to pee and poo when they are young and this is the only way you can hold them still. One of my rabbits learned that if she throws her head around or leans to the side she won't go out.
I remember reading about flying snakes when I was a kid, and fascinated by everything.
I’m happy to see you don’t hate lions
Tsavo Lions are actually probably one of the most aggressive mammals on the planet
It seems not many people know of Tsavo Lions .. You don't hear them mention often here in the U.S,
I only recently learned about them.
Anyway, Props to you on your Tsavo knowledge 😉
@@addiegraves3 They are on display in Chicago at the Field's Museum
@@kellysueballard7654 they shouldn't be. Imo.
@@addiegraves3 anyone who has seen The Ghost and the Darkness knows the story of the Tsavo lions.
from my understanding, those two males had an issue with their teeth or something genetic (as evident by the lack of manes) that made it hard for them to eat or at least hunt. Humans are weak in comparison and quite squishy so we make for an easier meal if caught off guard or weaponless. Not saying a human can't do harm to a lion though, those ones were just very desperate and there's little you can do against THAT.
I remember that cougar video. For some reason, it became well know in my town that it was local. People were coming to my small and very new store (in which I sell some outdoor stuff) looking for bear spray and "cougar spray", which I'm fairly certain does not exist.
I got a handful of disappointed people, one woman screaming at me and a month of sending requests to Facebook and Yelp to take down negative reviews from people who 1 starred my store because I didn't have the necessary equipment to deal with the "cougar problem".
Turns out that this video wasn't just from a different town, it was from a different state.
If I recall, the cougar thought he was too close to her cubs. You catch a glimpse of them at the beginning of the video.
Bummer deal, Billy Goat. People are so uneducated and easily scared because of it. ✌
Regular pepper spray is sufficient for either version of cougar. You're probably more likely to need it for a human predator.
@@robertstoneking7916 so at applebees then.
Bro makes learning hilarious. I would love to hang with him for a day. Prolly be the funniest edifying day of my life. 🤣🤣 stau dope , Cas.
for the cougar video, youre correct about what made the cougar follow the guy. he was approaching what he thought were 2 bobcats, but were actually... you guessed it, the cougar's cubs.
The 1000 yard stare when he almost said "hit it from the back" sent me
The Lions of Tsavo is actually a crazy story, estimations go as high as 300 workers killed. Col. Patterson, who was the man who finally hunted them wrote a novel on it. While obviously embellished, it's a great story. Highly suggest it.
It was also adapted into a movie
They used the long method to get rid of the lions, they should have got some maasai , the lions run when they even get a whif of them
Hey, remember like 10 years ago when Portal 2's co-op finale had GLaDOS adopt some birds and vaguely implied she was planning to weaponize them?
Regarding the cougar video: Yeah, the cubs are exactly why this hiker got chased out. He started recording specifically because he saw this cougar's cubs, but he thought they were lost dogs at first. He started recording 'em, took a step or two forward, realized they were cougar cubs, then saw mama. The guy even admitted it in a news interview.
