This guy at the end! What a great experience! Do you have an interview with him talking about his experience studying elephants? I wonder about their memory, their feelings. I've heard they mourn when another elephant passes away. He said they won't usually accept a human, but why? My thinking is that they remember everything, so wouldn't they remember the human that they've seen the day before? How long does it take for them to be fairly comfortable with humans? I bet it was hard to leave this baby anteater!
It looks like you were as blown away as I was. Animals can teach us so much about ourselves, and the world they live in. The gulf is not as vast as we assume it to be.
@@mrrecluse7002 I really was! I'd think the same as you do about the gulf, but who knows?! I was surprised to hear of many different species of insects were seen, but not brought to life. Meaning the indigenous people have seen all kinds of things that we're not aware of. Then, funding was brought up! Of course! Imagine being the first person to see something! Do you know anything about the elephants? Like the differences between Asian and African elephants in their behavior, etc?
@@beachgirl6305 Yeah. There's a treasure chest of life still undiscovered by the "civilized" world, many of which we will cause to become extinct, long before we can study them, or love them. Just google the differences between Asian and African elephants. They are both very intelligent, even though they don't have the ability to manipulate matter, as humans have...to our peril, of course.
The Fer De Lance is a pretty awful snake. 6 months on operations in the Belizian jungle, and this was our most dominating fear. Not the enemy we were there to thwart.
I lived in Costa Rica and I saw what the fer de lance does to people. It made the guy's foot swell so much I thought his skin would rip. His pain was obvious in his SCREAMING. We put him on a boat to the hospital. He didn't lose the foot. His nephew was bitten the night before and lost his whole leg.
Fer de lance is the most common serious threat out there and not to be taken lightly but I’d be more worried about the rare occasion you get bit by a bushmaster. 92% fatality rate with AV 💀
I have seen what fer de lance venom does to people. When I lived in Costa Rica an indigenous boy got bitten and lost his leg. The next morning his uncle was bitten by the same snake and I helped load him on a boat in the surf to go to the hospital. His foot and leg were so swollen his skin looked like it would rip open. His toes looked like a solid mass. He was screaming in pain. Seeing it was a very good lesson. They're common snakes and they're not afraid of being around houses. That uncle was looking for the snake that got his nephew because it was near the house and he found it the wrong way. Go, enjoy Central and South America. Just be careful when you go off the main roads. Use a guide in the jungle. Don't wear sandles. It's a beautiful part of the world, I miss Costa Rica.
Damn, bro! This is one of those interviews that leaves with you wanting more. Right when I didn’t think I could get any cooler with the giant baby aardvark story, we get our mind blown with elephant tales! Dayum! Stay safe out there son! Maybe I’ll see ya in the hostels some day. The backpackers world is a small world indeed.
A great channel I am about to launch a new online radio station here in Perth Western Australia and would love to promote the channel on it and restrean the audios, with your permission. Regards Michael

I was bitten by a black widow that caused my leg to swell so bad it did rupture my skin from the foot up my leg to my lower knee.
@@kiki29073 oh that's good to know because I smashed several widows in a crawl space today and I see a lot of them because I work under houses.
Dang
What an amazing episode!
Fer de lance are not agressive snakes. They are defensive animals born and raised in the most eat or be eaten environment there is.
not a bad podcast but these thumbnails would really indicate otherwise
Yup WTF. Why is Paul in the thumbnail. That’s the only reason I clicked. Where tf is Paul? Not even worth watching. Horrible interviewer.
Excellent episode Jordan.

Less than 1% of snake bites in Costa Rica are fatal.
Bullet ants it’s the sting that feels that you are shot by a .22 caliber pistol bullet not the bite. 3:35
The gaboon viper has the largest fangs at 2 inches
i was hoping for new stuff but hey, still good for thoses who don't listen regularly i guess

The Fer de Lance is also known as the Lance Head or Arrow Head snake in English.

Vang Vieng, Laos. The river tubing scene is no longer like it was (as described) when I first saw it in 2006.
💜🙏🏾❤️
You know the gringo is BSing about the Amazon when they use the word anaconda
he is comparing, only.
@@b0rd3n Irrelevant. Natives do not use that word
he is comparing to what people know of, anacondas - they exist @@ghfudrs93uuu
Fer de Lance is NOT aggressive, most bites are from people stepping on them! This guy lost credibility instantly.
