The reality is that people encounter every single animal/insect/arachnid on a daily basis depending on where you live in the US. I killed a Brown Recluse last week, found a Black Widow in my shed yesterday, had a Cougar run across the farm 3 weeks ago, and had a cotton mouth by my pond today. Rattle snakes aren't in my area generally, but 30 miles South in the bluffs they live there. I suppose people just get used to what's around them and deal with it. And to conclude, nobody is scared of great whites in the US. It's the Bull Shark.
This man is out of touch with Americans. Great White is STILLL, for decades, far and away, the most feared. "nobody in is scared of great whites in the US".
bull sharks have been scene in the Mississippi river as far north as Iowa, and rumer of being scene in lake Michigan, alligators are as far north as S. Carolina
I am 69 years old. I have been bitten by a black widow, brown recluse, stung by a scorpion. I have seen grizzlies, black bears, alligators and bison and I am still here!
What all at the same time without even flinching, you're a hardy gal.🤭 That's a good conversation starter at parties tho. In the UK it wouldn't sound as cool if i said i got slightly pinched by an earwig.🤷♂️
the reason the Moose is so high isn't just the size, it's almost entirely about it's attitude. if T-Rex's still existed but ran away from humans they wouldn't be that dangerous, whereas a giant deer that WANTS to fuck you up just for looking at it is extremely dangerous.
That's true! Moose generally leave you alone if you give them space and respect, but they're big, heavy, can outrun and out*swim* you, and if you catch them in a bad mood they've been known to go on a rampage. Definitely one of the animals I've got healthy dose of respect for.
They also left some of the most dangerous animals in North America being the giant anteater,the camel, Jaguar,and one of the top most deadliest animals in the world the poison dart frog
There's a relatively harmless and non-poisonous snake with red and black markings very similar to that of the coral snake. There's even a rhyme to remember which is the lethal version: "If red touches black, you're okay, Jack. If red touches yellow, you're a dead fellow".
In the US, the top is Great White, and the second is Tiger, and then Bull. I would suspect Bull to be the global leader though. They're nasty bastards.
Back in the '80s I was camping at the Great Smokey Mountains one evening sitting by the campfire when I looked to my right a black bear was sitting next to me on a log. I grabbed an apple and held out my hand, it took it, ate it, got up and walked away.
There's also the jaguar down near the southern border. They are about 20% bigger than the cougar/puma. They stalk and attack from behind, biting through the skull for the final kill. The difficult thing about moose is that the males are in a constant 'roid rage during mating season. If you camp near the river they may notice your existence and just decide to fix that. They are fast and strong. They can kick in all directions, so there is not a safe angle, just a safe distance or a strong shelter. They can also jump over 8 foot fences.
You wouldn't think about the cougar coming out of nowhere but you would also be wrong. I was on my way to a desert party one night when one ran across the path of our vehicle and continued across the highway. This was only about 4 miles from where the party was.
One of the most dangerous thing about #3 moose is that they are often encountered on roads and highways in Northern portions of the US and Canada, where they are struck by cars in areas of limited visibility. Because they stand so tall and are quite heavy, they can end swept over a car hood and slam through the windshield, killing or injuring the driver and/or front seat passenger.
I've got friends way south and west of the North East, and always get a laugh when they're incredulous that I tell them the most dangerous animal where I live isn't the bears, it's the Moose. Then I tell them that, when I was getting my drivers permit, when they were teaching us about the dangers of the road, when deer came up we were taught to pick an end and aim for that, but if you realize you're about to hit a Moose, you just pray. Also, they're even more ornery than any bear or pack of coyotes I've come across. Chances are if you're seeing a cow, she's walking with her calves so she's hyper aggressive, and Bulls got awful moodswings. But they look silly, so a lot of tourists find out the hard way why the locals will go out of our way to completely avoid them unlike any other animal up here.
Wolves, too! And if they’re including Great Whites then Orcas should be number one, as they kill Great Whites! Mediocre list. The Polar Bear should be #1 in my opinion and leave the oceans out. Cheers
Yeah, I'm always surprised It's not included in these lists. It's the only bear in America that has no fear of humans. They will not back down if you get in their sites.
I live next to a green belt so cougars and black bears are common, but typically mind their own business. I’m extra careful when I take my dog out since he thinks every animal could be his friend (he once went into the play position for a beetle), but he’s only 11lbs/5kg so he’d make a nice little snack. My parents have a mountain house and there’s always moose around and they are terrifyingly huge! I also live where rattlesnakes can be common on trails etc and they really just want to be left alone, which is one of the reasons they rattle- to give you a warning.
Everybody forgets about mosquitoes. We in the US have a lot of control measures, but that only underlines how dangerous they are. We have bear and moose and shark and snakes controls, too, but I'm sure the amount of money spent on mitigating mosquito breeding probably exceeds all of those combined.
Mosquitos? They don't knock you down and rip your head off, nor do they affect A poisonous bite that could kill you overnight. They are not talking about disease causing insects.
I’m surprised that there wasn’t a whole category for snakes. In addition to the coral snake, we have rattlesnakes, cottonmouths, and copperheads-all indigenous to the southern states. Brown Recluse spiders are more dangerous than a black widow. I live on the east coast and over the past 20 years or so, sharks have increasingly come closer to shore and there are typically multiple shark attacks each summer. Moose are not predators as are cougars or mountain lions, but people are just plain stupid around them! For entertainment, you should look for some black bear videos. I live in North Carolina and grew up in the mountains. People have encroached on the bears’ territories so now the bears just wander into town and steal peoples’ food from their cars. The bears can open car doors and crawl right in. If they don’t find food, they will often tear the interior of the car to shreds looking for the food belonging to the scent of that last takeout order you brought home.
Black bears can be very big and aggressive. In Pennsylvania, for example, the record killed during hunting season is 875 pounds in 2021, and there are larger ones out there. There are large ones in New Jersey and NY state also (as well as in other states). Stay away when they cubs.
The cougar is actually way worse than the scorpion. Joggers and bike riders are particularly at risk from cougars, also called mountain lions. If you flee or appear to be fleeing its instinct kicks in and you don’t even see it before it clamps down on your head or neck. Bike riders are sometimes saved because they wore a helmet. Never go alone, a woman saved her friend from one. She was playing tug of war with the cougar over her friend. Luckily she survived and made a full recovery. What they left out about the moose, they are most dangerous when you hit them with your car. You basically take their legs out from under them and their body comes flying at your windshield. Many humans end up fatally injured in those cases. I thought it was weird to include black widow spiders and leave out rattlesnakes. And sharks? Really? A North American animal? As for pit bulls, it’s largely how they’re raised but also breeding. A lot of breeders get greedy and do a lot of inbreeding which can result in a mentally unstable pit Bull, you never want that. If you can imagine it, my dog is a basset/pit bull mix. Looks like a body building basset with a pit bull head slightly sad eyes and long ears. He looks a bit like a cartoon. But the biggest mush ball you ever met, his brain is all basset.
I've seen another video like this that's not about the danger of the animals and more about how many deaths they cause. Deer was #1 on that list because of the vehicle accidents they cause.
I grew up where we still had woodland around us and a creek in the front yard. We were taught which snakes were not poison, and what animals were in those woods. Great time to grow up... armadillo, possums, deer, bobcats, Florida panther
Wow! We have it all … all that you guys don’t have!! I’ve seen a black bear and a brown bear on vacation in Colorado!! Cooper Head snakes here are around the water the Indians say if you smell cantaloupe, better get outta there! Of course Louisiana has alligators! And the brown recluse spiders, are bad here down south! 🇺🇸Tennessee
I live in the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia and we have woods behind our house so at least once a week we get a black bear sniffing around the yard or house so we never take the trash out until the morning of pickup and we don’t leave birdseed out for the birds or squirrels. Black bears love birdseed
We've had copperheads on the property even close to the house and twice we had a water moccasin get in the house when they strayed too far from the pond at the back of our property. We have 21 acres so there's a lot of wildlife. We had a panther and a feral hog on our property as well several years ago.
I'm very surprised they included the moose over snakes such as the Cottonmouth, Copperhead or Diamondback. Btw, love the dig on Rob Beckett. The first successful horse-to-human tooth transplant recipient. 🤣
I've always heard it was deer and car collisions that cause the most injury and damage. Driving home late night in Virginia, you must stay alert. I could pass a dozen deer close to the road every night. It wasn't even a deer area. I think a lion would be scarier than a bear. Cats stalk!
Did that video say that Yellowstone was the only place where Bison live? There are also Bison living in Land Between the Lakes in Western Kentucky. There's not alot but they are protected.
Worse than a great white shark is the bull shark... they go up the fresh water rivers as well as the ocean and are more tempermental than the great white. I personally dont swim in water thats too murky to not see if there is one (or certain snakes/fish) in the water
As an American living in the Pacific NW most of these animals are around and I have to tell you most of these attacks are the fault of people who don't respect wildlife. I mean people are dumb. Don't want to be attacked? Leave these animals alone.
We also have White Tail Deer 🦌🦌 more in pa than any other states. Great White Sharks are actually a lot smarter and friendlier then what people give them more people die in car crash and bee stings then sharks attacks. Riddle Snake. Cotton Mouth.
What makes the grizzly bear so scary is if it’s wanting you for a meal it doesn’t bother to kill you first, it’s so big it’ll just pin you to the ground and start making a meal out of you before you even stop screaming.
@@Guns_RedRoses well yeah it is, it’s just a branch of the grizzly family and it’s all isolated on island, so I’m not sure why you’re hitting me with that.
Black bears are more dangerous to humans. Although smaller, they are much more aggressive. They're very fast and can literally chase a deer down. Also more people have died from black bear attacks than from the grizzly.
@@ratdad48 that’s not true at all, black bears wander all over this Colorado town. I live in and sometimes wander into town and they’re much more afraid of humans than grizzlies are. The reason you might be seeing a higher statistic for black bear. Death is because there are far more of them in the country than there are grizzlies. they can definitely kill a human, and definitely do but they’re more than likely gonna run away.
We had a cabin in North Idaho growing up and would often see cougars in the early morning drives into town for Church on Sundays, bears and moose once in a while. Cougars are my favorite wild animal. So gorgeous. They really rarely attack humans. You really have to rile them or as they said, if they are starving perhaps they might get desperate.
My pitbull was stung on her paw by a scorpion. Her paw swelled up round like a golf ball. By morning, it was back to normal. Btw, she was a super friendly, good natured dog.
As most Pittbulls are since people keep repeating data that was proven wrong lol Pittbulls score very well on temperament and are actually much gentler then some popular ‘friendly’ breeds.
They are unpredictable. They have been known to attack their owners out of nowhere. And don't say its how they are treated. I've been around them. They are dangerous as hell. They wreck more havoc than any other dog breed, hands down.
So I’m from Pennsylvania in the U.S. Thankfully not too many deadly things in terms of this video. A few native venomous snakes. The brown recluse a spider, which in some people’s eyes is worse than the black widow. We also have black bears but I’ve only had one close encounter and I’m 29. They also didn’t mention Black Bears can climb trees and Moose can swim underwater and kick in all directions. Also, there is a reason that alligators haven’t had to majorly evolve for the last 8 million years. They are at the top of their food chain and did not need to evolve to survive their ecosystem. They are one of the epitome’s of the Apex predator. Thankfully, we don’t have those where I live. I have only run into one when I was golfing as a child. On a sidenote, they taste really good.
The guy that screamed at the Moose killed it with a pistol when the moose charged him a second time. There is footage of it. They can weigh as much as 1,500 lbs. no joke. But they taste GREAT
And there's a video somewhere of a moose trotting down the median of a highway. It is absolutely massive. And plus (fun fact) they can run on water. Look for the channel Casual Geographic to get more nightmare information about moose!
I live in Oregon, and we have cougars commonly spotted not only on trails, but some have come down to the outskirts of the city to feast on wild turkeys. They do avoid humans when they can, but you can easily round a corner on a trail and surprise each other. They don't like surprises. I carry a .357 magnum revolver hiking even close to town. Because the bears aren't quite as shy.
Hi Dexter Fletcher & his friend. The most dangerous animal in the UK is the hedgehog. Vicious things that if you're in a park will leap from nowhere & rip your throat out....🤔 Or is that Rottweilers?
“Daddy long legs” over here refers to a type of (non-dangerous) spider, so hearing you talk about flying ones was confusing (I’ve since looked up what you’re referring to).
What’s interesting is that the American Daddy long legs is actually known to be the most venomous species however their fangs are not big enough to pierce the human skin.
@@joshc.6706 that is false, the cellar spider (which you are referring to) aren't the most venomous species of spider(that title goes to the Sydney funnel web spider), in fact their venom can't do shit to humans, also they are capable of piercing through human skin.
Grizzly bears actually CAN climb trees, quite well, just rarely do when compared to black bears. There is a very well viewed YT video of one climbing a tree in an effort to get to a young black bear in the tree.
Let me add this if you think your going to hear a rattle snake before you see it, forget it! Many times I've spotted them within striking distance, and zero indication they were there. In arizona "watch your step" has nothing to do with tripping!!
Here in Arizona, it's the rattlesnakes and now it's rattlesnake season! They can be in your garage, in your yard, or outside your front or back door when you go outside! When you go out in the desert walking or hiking they're all over the place! Those Scorpions are all over to I got it one time and it made my hand numb for a week! Pretty much here in Arizona, everything will either bite you sting you, or stick you so you better be careful!
@@BritPopsReact You just have to be careful and watch where you step and put your hands. I learned the hard way when I put my hand in a glove that I had sitting on a shelf. I didn't check it first and there was a Bark Scorpion in it and it get me three times! Even if you live in town and have a small dog you have to be careful because Coyotes will jump your fence and get your dog!
I've lived in the USA for 75 years and never have been harmed by any of these animals. When I lived in Florida there was a coral snake trying make a home in a small hole near the steps I had to use to get into my house so I killed it. Normally I would not harm a snake but that was too much. I was afraid my dog would get into trouble, too. That was the only coral snake I saw in 28 years. Coral snakes have the worst venom but they don't strike with fangs like rattlesnakes. The have small teeth and need to chew through skin. I live in North Carolina now where black bears are plentiful. One regularly raids my neighbor's garbage. A few years ago there was a mama bear and two cubs in a tree bordering my yard. I have not encountered one in 23 years while hiking. I did have a bear with 3 cubs cross the road in front of me. I've had to wait for huge rattlesnakes to decide to move while driving on forest roads and once while hiking. They want to stay out of your way. Copperheads are more aggressive and cause more bites, especially for dogs. For me, the biggest nuisance is the skunk.
I'm 77 years old retired from a government mapping agency 30 years of traveling to different areas of US I have encountered most of these creatures you mention. I tried to use caution when venturing into thier habitat. areas. My avoiding confrontation has been a matter of luck and /or caution.
Interesting for me watching this in my home where I've seen scorpions (only a couple) and black widows, and a mountain lion (cougar) across the road as well as a black bear... all within a mile of where I am right now. Makes me think....
here in Louisiana the gators are just another neighbor. they sleep ANYWHERE. your backyard, your lawn, under your truck, your garage, in the rode, etc. we just go about our day as normal. after their nap they'll just get up and leave on their own. they don't chase or run after people if not bothered. while they are deadly, they are just another case of "leave it alone and it'll leave you alone" type thing. nobody pays them mind 😂. that's why whenever they invade gulf courses or parks everybody just continues playing and doing whatever as if nothing happened.
I drive out from MN to Yellowstone once or twice a year and am used to seeing grizzly and black bears, buffalos, moose, elk, wolves, etc. Here in MN there are about 25-30 thousand black bears. Animals are generally shy and do not want human interaction., except mothers with babies. Watch out then!... And don't forget about the Sasquatch which could be watching you in any forest!
I surfed until I was 57 and there's something about a Apex predator just below you...best not to think of about it. I've backpacked up and down the west and grizzly because of their unpredictability are what always concerned me...make noise to let them know you're in the area. A Warden in Jasper told me: "never back down from a black bear, don't run" and a grizzly? "Who knows, they're unpredictable".
I don't know who produced that pablum. But look up the, Mojave Green (type of rattlesnake. Twice as deadly as an Asian cobra. And the, Brown recluse spider. (It causes necrosis.)
The Great Barrier Reef, has a big population of great whites. Off the coast of South Africa, their great whites are famous for flying body lengths out of the water. And the waters of northern California through southern British Columbia, Cascadia, the Pacific Northwest of N America has a huge great white shark population riding the Arctic waters of the Japanese Current, just off our coast.
I wish people who post these videos would be a bit more careful with what they post. The video about the Grizzly shows the bite force of the bear is 1600 lbs per sq in. The audio claims 1,160 lbs. The audio was correct.
I was about 10 or so and had owned several harmless snakes (gardener snakes, corn snakes etc) i was helping my boy scout troop clean a large campsite up for an upcoming long trip. During said clean up we came accross a small snake hiding in a large pile of logs we were tasked with moving. Somehow everyone managed to listen to me and backed away, i slowly approached the snake held my hand out flat, the snake slowly approached so i slowly continued to pick it up and then moved it to the wooded area a few hundred feet away and placed him on a branch. Wasnt till later i found out it was a newly hatched Diamondback Rattlesnake as hatching season just finished. I was very lucky. Buuuut i still think ive seen plenty of evidence with wild animals that if you show them respect in a basic sense. Giving them space, not acting loud and obnoxious, etc they will generally just leave you alone and go about their day. Im 26 now so who knows 🤷🏻♂️ could just be lucky
Yea I was bitten by a recluse on my stomach after 16 hours my skin blister popped and my stomach fluids started dripping small at first then my blood mixed with stomach fluids started steaming out I spent 4weeks in hospital with them cutting out my gut
Gentlemen! So, there's a critter called a sun spider also in the South West, which looks just like a scorpion, is non venomous and likes hanging out in cool shady places. LIKE YOUR TOILET JUST UNDER THE SEAT! Swear, for real. THAT will wake you up quick, trust me I know! My dad is an avid health nut (California Hippy Health Nut!) so, he lives in the foothills of the San Fernando Valley and used to jog/run the steep roads near his house. UNTIL, in like 92-93 he was jogging and kept feeling like he was being watched. He was, as he turned a corner he saw in the brush line a big male cougar stalking him. He squared off at it, growled, jumped, and yelled till it ran off. He got home, ordered a treadmill, has a TV mounted in front of it and has been running safely in style ever since. BULL SHIT, BP1, That cougar was HUNTING my dad!!! I've eaten bison 🤷 Black bears are common in Monrovia, La Canada, San Gabriel etc! Be careful in the city too. Grizzly Bear............Um..........fuck that nine ways of next Tuesday! SPIDERS ARE OUR FRIENDS! Even those spooky bitches serve a purpose! So what, she's honest about when he's got to go, there was a time when if I was done, you had to go, one way or another. Leave 'em be. Coral snakes are NOT COOL! Moose is so very tasty! We do some bartering with a local veterinarian, he hunts large game, we dabble in hogs. Works out beautifully! BP2, your facial expressions are wonderful today! LMFAO, with the moose, you don't look too fond of them. So, NO gators near me and Chuey! We are too far north and west. They do taste kinda ok though. Sharks, look, if you come into MY home uninvited Hank and Chuey won't be the only ones biting the shit out of you, I'm not above chomping on an intruder. Get what I'm saying? STAY OUT OF THE SHARKS HOUSE, peroid. C-Mama does NOT share food either! ☠
@Chuey's Mama Well, we sure poked a bear on this one.. Thanks for the brilliant comment, we should just do reactions to comments, that would be far more entertaining and no worries about copyright. Thanks for all the chuckles. I think BP1 may have reconsidered his want to visit the US of A after this video. He gets all freaked out of a bird looks at him funny! All the best guys
Deadpans "Get a bigger boat." 😄. Been bitten more than once by a brown recluse. Definitely not pleasant, but there a common garden weed here called plantain that the leaves can be chewed and used as a poultice to help draw out the toxin and reduce its effects. I know it helped me big time! There's anti-venom available for black widow, but not brown recluse.
I lived with black widows the whole 20 years I lived in Northern Nevada. If you leave them alone, they'll leave you alone. I had a big web from the back of my garage freezer to the outside shrub. I pissed them off once by trying to rid them with a high pressure nozzle. That was the only time they came in my house, which was attached to the garage. I only found 2 and then they settled back into their area. I never sprayed the bush again and we lived happily ever after. lol
Cougars are not that rare. We had one come down last winter with the unusually heavy snowpack. No big deal, police cordoned off the area, animal control tranquilized it, gave her some anti-parasitics and transported her back. My neighbors and I did keep a rifle by the veranda door, just in case she surprised some kids. But that's the third time in the 15 years I've lived here and every time it's just not that great an issue. Bison are no joke. They are just ornery, like the most ill tempered bull you've ever encountered. I did a hunt with the Shoshone in WY several years ago, a bull will dress out at 400-500lbs of meat. I took home about 25lbs (lots of burgers from that) and the rest went to the reservation. Black bears are GENERALLY less aggressive than brown bears. In Alaska there were two black bears fishing about 400m from us. They were doing well, better than us actually, and making that huffing sound when they are happy. We slowly packed up and moved away. Rattlers/Sidewinders aren't on the list because bites from them are rare. They rattle as a warning; it is related to using venom to defend itself instead of hunting food. (Like the scorpion, and tarantula).
Hi you two👋you are funny🤣You better come to Norway,we have small snakes,Moose,Brown bears,ice Bears and some other things👍But you are here nearer at home,and can run fast back,or not😀🤪🤗 Stay safe,take care…love from Norway🇳🇴
Near San Antonio, TX Last month we had to call animal control to help us get a young western diamondback rattlesnake out from inside our shower door rail inclosure. Young enough that you couldn’t hear the rattle, but you could see it twitch. These were much more common when we lived in Tucson, AZ.
An honorable mention speaking of Arizona. Whixh is my native state. The Western diamondback Rattlesnake. It's very venomous. We also have Gola monsters here in Arizona too.
Ive seen several of these lists. Many of them vary. Actually in terms of shark attacks ive read bull sharks are more likely to attack humans than great whites.
The cougar or puma or panther or mountain lion are all the same animal. They are 2.8 to 5 feet (86 to 155 centimeters.) Females weigh 75 to 105 pounds (34 to 48 kilograms); Males weigh 116 to 158 pounds (53 to 72 kilograms) They are not likely to attack, but they will if you act in a threatening manner and approach it or if you run. Pretty much, they are ambush predators, but I would not underestimate their power. It is not outside the realm of possibility that they can, at least, severely injure or, at worst, kill a human.
I live in Virginia near the Jefferson National Forest. Every once in a while you'll hear reports of black bears wandering into towns, but there are rarely any attacks. It usually happens during droughts or when mothers wander into towns with their cubs. Usually these are just tranquilized by Animal Control and relocated back into the forest. But you'll be surprised to learn that a HIGH number of fatalities are caused by the white-tailed deer! But NOT from attacks! They are infamous for wandering onto busy highways and backroads causing many car crashes, often resulting in fatalities. That is why the carefully controlled hunting season for deer is VERY important. Unfortunately this hunting season is necessary to thin the herds, otherwise the number of deer on the roads could very quickly get out of hand!
A key thing to understand is that animals that are predators mainly decide whether to attack on if they think you’re worth the trouble of chasing down; prey animals are trying to decide if you’re a threat. Large prey animals are often more trigger happy for this reason
For bears "If it's brown, lay down. If it's black, fight back." Not saying you should, but people tend to be able to be do fine with a black bear if you stay still, or you can try scaring it as they do get spooked.
my cousin is a TH-camr based in phoenix & he invited his little sister to spend time with him, the guest room had scorpions she was bitt twice & rushed to the Hospital her life was barely saved if they would have found her 10 minutes later she would probably be gone..
Do you have Black Widow spiders in the UK? a lot worse spider bite is from the Brown Recluse. The bite rots the skin all the way to the bone if not treated quickly.
We frequently also get Great White sharks off the Coast of New England. Jaws was not wrong in that. We get them off the massachusetts coast near Cape Cod every summer.
Pops, the cougar has several regional aliases: mtn. lion, catamount and panther. See if you can find the smartphone video here of a young man who was out for a run in rural UT when he stumbled upon a mama with young cubs. For the rest of the video he was backing away, and trying to act as big as possible. It's scary just watching. It should be pointed out that the guy in the grizzly section petting and playing with it probably raised it from a cub, and is safe with it. Granddaddy longlegs are completely harmless spiders. In the alligator section, there was a "lunatic' who had his head in the mouth of 1. Most likely he was a member of Florida's Seminole tribe, and people who visit their reservation are able to see an alligator wrangling exhibition while there. Probably the main reason 1 animal didn't make it onto this list is because they live well off the beaten path. I'm speaking of the polar bear, which are only in arctic Alaska, which is roadless.
The reality is that people encounter every single animal/insect/arachnid on a daily basis depending on where you live in the US. I killed a Brown Recluse last week, found a Black Widow in my shed yesterday, had a Cougar run across the farm 3 weeks ago, and had a cotton mouth by my pond today. Rattle snakes aren't in my area generally, but 30 miles South in the bluffs they live there. I suppose people just get used to what's around them and deal with it. And to conclude, nobody is scared of great whites in the US. It's the Bull Shark.
Important to mention also that where the urban areas are makes a huge difference. 5 or 10 miles makes a huge difference in wildlife where I am
I was anticipating the Bull Shark being on the list. The fact that they can swim into fresh water is scary as hell.
@@toddroper7944 Yep, they're making their way up the Mississippi. Been spotted as far north as the southern tip of Illinois.
This man is out of touch with Americans. Great White is STILLL, for decades, far and away, the most feared.
"nobody in is scared of great whites in the US".
bull sharks have been scene in the Mississippi river as far north as Iowa, and rumer of being scene in lake Michigan, alligators are as far north as S. Carolina
Bobcats, Lynx, Bull sharks in the Rivers etc all issues that we deal with. Yes, Coyotes are The Real Issue!
Bobcat will not attack a human.
I am 69 years old. I have been bitten by a black widow, brown recluse, stung by a scorpion. I have seen grizzlies, black bears, alligators and bison and I am still here!
What all at the same time without even flinching, you're a hardy gal.🤭 That's a good conversation starter at parties tho. In the UK it wouldn't sound as cool if i said i got slightly pinched by an earwig.🤷♂️
What's an earwig?
@@momD612 They're slender, long insects with a pair of sharp pincers on their tail end. They look scarier than they are but they can still nip you :)
You’re a legend. 💪
@@GaryHolloway-810 sounds similar to a scorpion?
A pack of coyotes is pretty teriffying. They are very clever.
the reason the Moose is so high isn't just the size, it's almost entirely about it's attitude. if T-Rex's still existed but ran away from humans they wouldn't be that dangerous, whereas a giant deer that WANTS to fuck you up just for looking at it is extremely dangerous.
That's true! Moose generally leave you alone if you give them space and respect, but they're big, heavy, can outrun and out*swim* you, and if you catch them in a bad mood they've been known to go on a rampage. Definitely one of the animals I've got healthy dose of respect for.
As you mentioned they left out the rattlesnake, and another venoumous snake, the cottonmouth. Another venoumous spider, the brown recluse.
They also left some of the most dangerous animals in North America being the giant anteater,the camel, Jaguar,and one of the top most deadliest animals in the world the poison dart frog
Snakes are the main concern, by far where I live in Texas.
The brown recluse has bacteria in its bite, not venom.
There are actually no snakes on our property, there are deer and has been a mountain lion however.
There's a relatively harmless and non-poisonous snake with red and black markings very similar to that of the coral snake. There's even a rhyme to remember which is the lethal version: "If red touches black, you're okay, Jack. If red touches yellow, you're a dead fellow".
“Red touches black, friend of Jack. Red touches yellow, kill a fellow.” Is the one I was taught growing up.
Milk snake
That rhyme is only valid in one region! In other places it will get you (potentially) killed.
Bison need to be a LOT higher on this list. They need to be in at least the top 3.
For the record, Bull Shark attacks are FAR more common than a Great White Shark.
In the US, the top is Great White, and the second is Tiger, and then Bull. I would suspect Bull to be the global leader though. They're nasty bastards.
Yes, and unlike Great Whites, Bull Sharks can swim up freshwater estuaries.
Back in the '80s I was camping at the Great Smokey Mountains one evening sitting by the campfire when I looked to my right a black bear was sitting next to me on a log. I grabbed an apple and held out my hand, it took it, ate it, got up and walked away.
It’s a shame you didn’t have a camcorder!!! One of those amazing stories that no one would believe unless you caught it on camera but we do 👊
There's also the jaguar down near the southern border. They are about 20% bigger than the cougar/puma. They stalk and attack from behind, biting through the skull for the final kill.
The difficult thing about moose is that the males are in a constant 'roid rage during mating season. If you camp near the river they may notice your existence and just decide to fix that. They are fast and strong. They can kick in all directions, so there is not a safe angle, just a safe distance or a strong shelter. They can also jump over 8 foot fences.
i was about to comment this, mainly because it blows my mind
You wouldn't think about the cougar coming out of nowhere but you would also be wrong. I was on my way to a desert party one night when one ran across the path of our vehicle and continued across the highway. This was only about 4 miles from where the party was.
One of the most dangerous thing about #3 moose is that they are often encountered on roads and highways in Northern portions of the US and Canada, where they are struck by cars in areas of limited visibility. Because they stand so tall and are quite heavy, they can end swept over a car hood and slam through the windshield, killing or injuring the driver and/or front seat passenger.
I've got friends way south and west of the North East, and always get a laugh when they're incredulous that I tell them the most dangerous animal where I live isn't the bears, it's the Moose. Then I tell them that, when I was getting my drivers permit, when they were teaching us about the dangers of the road, when deer came up we were taught to pick an end and aim for that, but if you realize you're about to hit a Moose, you just pray. Also, they're even more ornery than any bear or pack of coyotes I've come across. Chances are if you're seeing a cow, she's walking with her calves so she's hyper aggressive, and Bulls got awful moodswings. But they look silly, so a lot of tourists find out the hard way why the locals will go out of our way to completely avoid them unlike any other animal up here.
notably absent from the list is the polar bear which range includes the north slope of Alaska.
Wolves, too! And if they’re including Great Whites then Orcas should be number one, as they kill Great Whites!
Mediocre list. The Polar Bear should be #1 in my opinion and leave the oceans out.
Cheers
Yeah, I'm always surprised It's not included in these lists. It's the only bear in America that has no fear of humans. They will not back down if you get in their sites.
And where is the jaguar?
Watch out for Moose, can be very DANGEROUS!!!!!!!
Watching from Alaska. Big dangerous animal is our jam. 🤣🤣
I own 2 pit mixes and they are marshmallows. 💗💗
@KB Beers
Dangerous animals is our jam 🤣🤣
Lying bullshit. Don't believe these absolute idiots, for a second.
Armadillos nested in my yard and hissed at me; they carry leprosy I want nothing to do with that.
I live next to a green belt so cougars and black bears are common, but typically mind their own business. I’m extra careful when I take my dog out since he thinks every animal could be his friend (he once went into the play position for a beetle), but he’s only 11lbs/5kg so he’d make a nice little snack. My parents have a mountain house and there’s always moose around and they are terrifyingly huge! I also live where rattlesnakes can be common on trails etc and they really just want to be left alone, which is one of the reasons they rattle- to give you a warning.
Everybody forgets about mosquitoes. We in the US have a lot of control measures, but that only underlines how dangerous they are. We have bear and moose and shark and snakes controls, too, but I'm sure the amount of money spent on mitigating mosquito breeding probably exceeds all of those combined.
Mosquitos? They don't knock you down and rip your head off, nor do they affect A poisonous bite that could kill you overnight. They are not talking about disease causing insects.
I’m surprised that there wasn’t a whole category for snakes. In addition to the coral snake, we have rattlesnakes, cottonmouths, and copperheads-all indigenous to the southern states. Brown Recluse spiders are more dangerous than a black widow. I live on the east coast and over the past 20 years or so, sharks have increasingly come closer to shore and there are typically multiple shark attacks each summer. Moose are not predators as are cougars or mountain lions, but people are just plain stupid around them! For entertainment, you should look for some black bear videos. I live in North Carolina and grew up in the mountains. People have encroached on the bears’ territories so now the bears just wander into town and steal peoples’ food from their cars. The bears can open car doors and crawl right in. If they don’t find food, they will often tear the interior of the car to shreds looking for the food belonging to the scent of that last takeout order you brought home.
Black bears can be very big and aggressive. In Pennsylvania, for example, the record killed during hunting season is 875 pounds in 2021, and there are larger ones out there. There are large ones in New Jersey and NY state also (as well as in other states). Stay away when they cubs.
That was one lard ass black bear. Male black bears rarely get over 600lbs.
The cougar is actually way worse than the scorpion. Joggers and bike riders are particularly at risk from cougars, also called mountain lions. If you flee or appear to be fleeing its instinct kicks in and you don’t even see it before it clamps down on your head or neck. Bike riders are sometimes saved because they wore a helmet. Never go alone, a woman saved her friend from one. She was playing tug of war with the cougar over her friend. Luckily she survived and made a full recovery.
What they left out about the moose, they are most dangerous when you hit them with your car. You basically take their legs out from under them and their body comes flying at your windshield. Many humans end up fatally injured in those cases.
I thought it was weird to include black widow spiders and leave out rattlesnakes.
And sharks? Really? A North American animal?
As for pit bulls, it’s largely how they’re raised but also breeding. A lot of breeders get greedy and do a lot of inbreeding which can result in a mentally unstable pit Bull, you never want that. If you can imagine it, my dog is a basset/pit bull mix. Looks like a body building basset with a pit bull head slightly sad eyes and long ears. He looks a bit like a cartoon. But the biggest mush ball you ever met, his brain is all basset.
Thanks for the nice breakdown, sounds awful that story or tug and war! Thanks for watching and coming along 👍🏻👍🏻
I've seen another video like this that's not about the danger of the animals and more about how many deaths they cause. Deer was #1 on that list because of the vehicle accidents they cause.
I grew up where we still had woodland around us and a creek in the front yard. We were taught which snakes were not poison, and what animals were in those woods. Great time to grow up... armadillo, possums, deer, bobcats, Florida panther
Wow! We have it all … all that you guys don’t have!! I’ve seen a black bear and a brown bear on vacation in Colorado!! Cooper Head snakes here are around the water the Indians say if you smell cantaloupe, better get outta there! Of course Louisiana has alligators! And the brown recluse spiders, are bad here down south! 🇺🇸Tennessee
They forgot about alot of other more deadly snakes and so other mammals.
We have rattlesnake, copperhead snakes, watermaccasins and a lot more....
Rattlesnakes and water moccasins are deadly also. Cougars are found in cities here also on occasion
I live in the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia and we have woods behind our house so at least once a week we get a black bear sniffing around the yard or house so we never take the trash out until the morning of pickup and we don’t leave birdseed out for the birds or squirrels. Black bears love birdseed
A rhyme to remember to tell between coral snakes and king snakes is red next to yellow, kill a fellow...red next to black is a friend of Jack
We've had copperheads on the property even close to the house and twice we had a water moccasin get in the house when they strayed too far from the pond at the back of our property. We have 21 acres so there's a lot of wildlife. We had a panther and a feral hog on our property as well several years ago.
@toodlescae
Cheers for the comment, it sounds like you have your hands full there, we are lucky to spot a cat in our back yards.
All the best to you
I'm very surprised they included the moose over snakes such as the Cottonmouth, Copperhead or Diamondback. Btw, love the dig on Rob Beckett. The first successful horse-to-human tooth transplant recipient. 🤣
I've always heard it was deer and car collisions that cause the most injury and damage. Driving home late night in Virginia, you must stay alert. I could pass a dozen deer close to the road every night. It wasn't even a deer area. I think a lion would be scarier than a bear. Cats stalk!
Did that video say that Yellowstone was the only place where Bison live? There are also Bison living in Land Between the Lakes in Western Kentucky. There's not alot but they are protected.
@Rebecca Rockchik
Hi Rebecca, it more than likely did but we did not pick up on it as we had no idea.
Thanks for pointing it out
Depends on where you are. Scorpions aren't an issue in the Pacific Northwest cougars can be. Makes it interesting if you hunt.
Worse than a great white shark is the bull shark... they go up the fresh water rivers as well as the ocean and are more tempermental than the great white. I personally dont swim in water thats too murky to not see if there is one (or certain snakes/fish) in the water
Yeah they chose a bad video to react to. There’s a much better video covering this same topic that has bull sharks in it.
As an American living in the Pacific NW most of these animals are around and I have to tell you most of these attacks are the fault of people who don't respect wildlife. I mean people are dumb. Don't want to be attacked? Leave these animals alone.
We also have White Tail Deer 🦌🦌 more in pa than any other states. Great White Sharks are actually a lot smarter and friendlier then what people give them more people die in car crash and bee stings then sharks attacks. Riddle Snake. Cotton Mouth.
The Whitetail deer is the most dangerous to people via crashing into bikes and trucks.
What makes the grizzly bear so scary is if it’s wanting you for a meal it doesn’t bother to kill you first, it’s so big it’ll just pin you to the ground and start making a meal out of you before you even stop screaming.
Bruh.
Kodiak Bears are worse.
@@Guns_RedRoses well yeah it is, it’s just a branch of the grizzly family and it’s all isolated on island, so I’m not sure why you’re hitting me with that.
Black bears are more dangerous to humans. Although smaller, they are much more aggressive. They're very fast and can literally chase a deer down. Also more people have died from black bear attacks than from the grizzly.
@@ratdad48 that’s not true at all, black bears wander all over this Colorado town. I live in and sometimes wander into town and they’re much more afraid of humans than grizzlies are. The reason you might be seeing a higher statistic for black bear. Death is because there are far more of them in the country than there are grizzlies. they can definitely kill a human, and definitely do but they’re more than likely gonna run away.
@@ratdad48black bears are afraid of people. I used to see them in my mom’s trailer park all the time. They just run away.
We had a cabin in North Idaho growing up and would often see cougars in the early morning drives into town for Church on Sundays, bears and moose once in a while. Cougars are my favorite wild animal. So gorgeous. They really rarely attack humans. You really have to rile them or as they said, if they are starving perhaps they might get desperate.
Bull Shark should be on the list.
My pitbull was stung on her paw by a scorpion. Her paw swelled up round like a golf ball. By morning, it was back to normal. Btw, she was a super friendly, good natured dog.
As most Pittbulls are since people keep repeating data that was proven wrong lol Pittbulls score very well on temperament and are actually much gentler then some popular ‘friendly’ breeds.
They are unpredictable. They have been known to attack their owners out of nowhere. And don't say its how they are treated. I've been around them. They are dangerous as hell. They wreck more havoc than any other dog breed, hands down.
So I’m from Pennsylvania in the U.S. Thankfully not too many deadly things in terms of this video. A few native venomous snakes. The brown recluse a spider, which in some people’s eyes is worse than the black widow. We also have black bears but I’ve only had one close encounter and I’m 29. They also didn’t mention Black Bears can climb trees and Moose can swim underwater and kick in all directions. Also, there is a reason that alligators haven’t had to majorly evolve for the last 8 million years. They are at the top of their food chain and did not need to evolve to survive their ecosystem. They are one of the epitome’s of the Apex predator. Thankfully, we don’t have those where I live. I have only run into one when I was golfing as a child. On a sidenote, they taste really good.
I see you have a picture of me on your thumbnail for this one. Grrr. 🐻
The sickest I’ve ever been is when I got Rocky Mountain spotted fever from a tick bite.
Rattle snakes curl up near a rock and are in my favorite park, Grasslands National Park in Canada.
The guy that screamed at the Moose killed it with a pistol when the moose charged him a second time. There is footage of it. They can weigh as much as 1,500 lbs. no joke. But they taste GREAT
And there's a video somewhere of a moose trotting down the median of a highway. It is absolutely massive. And plus (fun fact) they can run on water. Look for the channel Casual Geographic to get more nightmare information about moose!
Well, I have 4 of them in my backyard +rattlesnakes. Such fun!
@Lynn Soeth
That would definitely not be BP1's idea of fun, he gets all uppity when he sees a small house spider.
I live in Oregon, and we have cougars commonly spotted not only on trails, but some have come down to the outskirts of the city to feast on wild turkeys. They do avoid humans when they can, but you can easily round a corner on a trail and surprise each other. They don't like surprises. I carry a .357 magnum revolver hiking even close to town. Because the bears aren't quite as shy.
Hi Dexter Fletcher & his friend. The most dangerous animal in the UK is the hedgehog. Vicious things that if you're in a park will leap from nowhere & rip your throat out....🤔 Or is that Rottweilers?
@Gary Holloway
Easily confused, the hedgehog and the rottweiler 😂😂
“Daddy long legs” over here refers to a type of (non-dangerous) spider, so hearing you talk about flying ones was confusing (I’ve since looked up what you’re referring to).
What’s interesting is that the American Daddy long legs is actually known to be the most venomous species however their fangs are not big enough to pierce the human skin.
@@joshc.6706 that is false, the cellar spider (which you are referring to)
aren't the most venomous species of spider(that title goes to the Sydney funnel web spider), in fact their venom can't do shit to humans, also they are capable of piercing through human skin.
A bite from a brown recluse is wild. It leaves a hole in you that doesn't bleed. It has to close up over time, like an earring hole.
The #1 animal that causes the most injury or death is the common deer. they frequently are involved in accidents with vehicles.
Grizzly bears actually CAN climb trees, quite well, just rarely do when compared to black bears. There is a very well viewed YT video of one climbing a tree in an effort to get to a young black bear in the tree.
Let me add this if you think your going to hear a rattle snake before you see it, forget it! Many times I've spotted them within striking distance, and zero indication they were there. In arizona "watch your step" has nothing to do with tripping!!
Here in Arizona, it's the rattlesnakes and now it's rattlesnake season! They can be in your garage, in your yard, or outside your front or back door when you go outside! When you go out in the desert walking or hiking they're all over the place! Those Scorpions are all over to I got it one time and it made my hand numb for a week! Pretty much here in Arizona, everything will either bite you sting you, or stick you so you better be careful!
@jmuraidajr
Ah man, you sure must have nerves of steel to even venture out into your own garage!
@@BritPopsReact You just have to be careful and watch where you step and put your hands. I learned the hard way when I put my hand in a glove that I had sitting on a shelf. I didn't check it first and there was a Bark Scorpion in it and it get me three times! Even if you live in town and have a small dog you have to be careful because Coyotes will jump your fence and get your dog!
I've lived in the USA for 75 years and never have been harmed by any of these animals.
When I lived in Florida there was a coral snake trying make a home in a small hole near the steps I had to use to get into my house so I killed it. Normally I would not harm a snake but that was too much. I was afraid my dog would get into trouble, too. That was the only coral snake I saw in 28 years. Coral snakes have the worst venom but they don't strike with fangs like rattlesnakes. The have small teeth and need to chew through skin.
I live in North Carolina now where black bears are plentiful. One regularly raids my neighbor's garbage. A few years ago there was a mama bear and two cubs in a tree bordering my yard. I have not encountered one in 23 years while hiking. I did have a bear with 3 cubs cross the road in front of me.
I've had to wait for huge rattlesnakes to decide to move while driving on forest roads and once while hiking. They want to stay out of your way. Copperheads are more aggressive and cause more bites, especially for dogs.
For me, the biggest nuisance is the skunk.
I'm 77 years old retired from a government mapping agency 30 years of traveling to different areas of US I have encountered most of these creatures you mention. I tried to use caution when venturing into thier habitat. areas. My avoiding confrontation has been a matter of luck and /or caution.
Interesting for me watching this in my home where I've seen scorpions (only a couple) and black widows, and a mountain lion (cougar) across the road as well as a black bear... all within a mile of where I am right now. Makes me think....
here in Louisiana the gators are just another neighbor. they sleep ANYWHERE. your backyard, your lawn, under your truck, your garage, in the rode, etc. we just go about our day as normal. after their nap they'll just get up and leave on their own. they don't chase or run after people if not bothered. while they are deadly, they are just another case of "leave it alone and it'll leave you alone" type thing. nobody pays them mind 😂. that's why whenever they invade gulf courses or parks everybody just continues playing and doing whatever as if nothing happened.
I drive out from MN to Yellowstone once or twice a year and am used to seeing grizzly and black bears, buffalos, moose, elk, wolves, etc. Here in MN there are about 25-30 thousand black bears. Animals are generally shy and do not want human interaction., except mothers with babies. Watch out then!... And don't forget about the Sasquatch which could be watching you in any forest!
people need to check out mating seasons.
I surfed until I was 57 and there's something about a Apex predator just below you...best not to think of about it.
I've backpacked up and down the west and grizzly because of their unpredictability are what always concerned me...make noise to let them know you're in the area. A Warden in Jasper told me: "never back down from a black bear, don't run" and a grizzly? "Who knows, they're unpredictable".
I don't know who produced that pablum. But look up the, Mojave Green (type of rattlesnake. Twice as deadly as an Asian cobra. And the, Brown recluse spider. (It causes necrosis.)
Lols. Don't let the big fluffy cows.
That should have said Don't pet the big fluffy cows. Darned phone!
The Great Barrier Reef, has a big population of great whites. Off the coast of South Africa, their great whites are famous for flying body lengths out of the water. And the waters of northern California through southern British Columbia, Cascadia, the Pacific Northwest of N America has a huge great white shark population riding the Arctic waters of the Japanese Current, just off our coast.
What about the wolf, wolverine?
I wish people who post these videos would be a bit more careful with what they post. The video about the Grizzly shows the bite force of the bear is 1600 lbs per sq in. The audio claims 1,160 lbs. The audio was correct.
I was about 10 or so and had owned several harmless snakes (gardener snakes, corn snakes etc) i was helping my boy scout troop clean a large campsite up for an upcoming long trip. During said clean up we came accross a small snake hiding in a large pile of logs we were tasked with moving. Somehow everyone managed to listen to me and backed away, i slowly approached the snake held my hand out flat, the snake slowly approached so i slowly continued to pick it up and then moved it to the wooded area a few hundred feet away and placed him on a branch. Wasnt till later i found out it was a newly hatched Diamondback Rattlesnake as hatching season just finished. I was very lucky. Buuuut i still think ive seen plenty of evidence with wild animals that if you show them respect in a basic sense. Giving them space, not acting loud and obnoxious, etc they will generally just leave you alone and go about their day. Im 26 now so who knows 🤷🏻♂️ could just be lucky
Yea I was bitten by a recluse on my stomach after 16 hours my skin blister popped and my stomach fluids started dripping small at first then my blood mixed with stomach fluids started steaming out I spent 4weeks in hospital with them cutting out my gut
Gentlemen! So, there's a critter called a sun spider also in the South West, which looks just like a scorpion, is non venomous and likes hanging out in cool shady places. LIKE YOUR TOILET JUST UNDER THE SEAT! Swear, for real. THAT will wake you up quick, trust me I know!
My dad is an avid health nut (California Hippy Health Nut!) so, he lives in the foothills of the San Fernando Valley and used to jog/run the steep roads near his house. UNTIL, in like 92-93 he was jogging and kept feeling like he was being watched. He was, as he turned a corner he saw in the brush line a big male cougar stalking him. He squared off at it, growled, jumped, and yelled till it ran off. He got home, ordered a treadmill, has a TV mounted in front of it and has been running safely in style ever since. BULL SHIT, BP1, That cougar was HUNTING my dad!!!
I've eaten bison 🤷
Black bears are common in Monrovia, La Canada, San Gabriel etc! Be careful in the city too.
Grizzly Bear............Um..........fuck that nine ways of next Tuesday!
SPIDERS ARE OUR FRIENDS! Even those spooky bitches serve a purpose! So what, she's honest about when he's got to go, there was a time when if I was done, you had to go, one way or another. Leave 'em be.
Coral snakes are NOT COOL!
Moose is so very tasty! We do some bartering with a local veterinarian, he hunts large game, we dabble in hogs. Works out beautifully!
BP2, your facial expressions are wonderful today! LMFAO, with the moose, you don't look too fond of them.
So, NO gators near me and Chuey! We are too far north and west. They do taste kinda ok though.
Sharks, look, if you come into MY home uninvited Hank and Chuey won't be the only ones biting the shit out of you, I'm not above chomping on an intruder. Get what I'm saying? STAY OUT OF THE SHARKS HOUSE, peroid.
C-Mama does NOT share food either! ☠
@Chuey's Mama
Well, we sure poked a bear on this one..
Thanks for the brilliant comment, we should just do reactions to comments, that would be far more entertaining and no worries about copyright.
Thanks for all the chuckles.
I think BP1 may have reconsidered his want to visit the US of A after this video.
He gets all freaked out of a bird looks at him funny!
All the best guys
@@BritPopsReact That was a fun one to watch, I loved the looks on your faces. We do have some gnarly critters over here. Keep up the good work!🐾🐾🐾🐾
We have alligators, coral snakes, black bears, cougars, black widow spider AND rattlesnakes and never give it a thought!
Deadpans "Get a bigger boat." 😄. Been bitten more than once by a brown recluse. Definitely not pleasant, but there a common garden weed here called plantain that the leaves can be chewed and used as a poultice to help draw out the toxin and reduce its effects. I know it helped me big time! There's anti-venom available for black widow, but not brown recluse.
I lived with black widows the whole 20 years I lived in Northern Nevada. If you leave them alone, they'll leave you alone. I had a big web from the back of my garage freezer to the outside shrub. I pissed them off once by trying to rid them with a high pressure nozzle. That was the only time they came in my house, which was attached to the garage. I only found 2 and then they settled back into their area. I never sprayed the bush again and we lived happily ever after. lol
Black bears are actually pretty docile animals. If they have cubs they can get aggressive. Grizzlys however are way more aggressive.
I had a pet of Coral Snake as a kid. You don't have to be afraid of them because they don't have fangs.
Yeah, you're right. Its a mystery to me why one can't find them in pet stores🤔
Cougars are not that rare. We had one come down last winter with the unusually heavy snowpack. No big deal, police cordoned off the area, animal control tranquilized it, gave her some anti-parasitics and transported her back. My neighbors and I did keep a rifle by the veranda door, just in case she surprised some kids. But that's the third time in the 15 years I've lived here and every time it's just not that great an issue.
Bison are no joke. They are just ornery, like the most ill tempered bull you've ever encountered. I did a hunt with the Shoshone in WY several years ago, a bull will dress out at 400-500lbs of meat. I took home about 25lbs (lots of burgers from that) and the rest went to the reservation.
Black bears are GENERALLY less aggressive than brown bears. In Alaska there were two black bears fishing about 400m from us. They were doing well, better than us actually, and making that huffing sound when they are happy. We slowly packed up and moved away.
Rattlers/Sidewinders aren't on the list because bites from them are rare. They rattle as a warning; it is related to using venom to defend itself instead of hunting food. (Like the scorpion, and tarantula).
Dude the Courage is much more dangerous! Holy Moly!
Hi you two👋you are funny🤣You better come to Norway,we have small snakes,Moose,Brown bears,ice Bears and some other things👍But you are here nearer at home,and can run fast back,or not😀🤪🤗 Stay safe,take care…love from Norway🇳🇴
Near San Antonio, TX Last month we had to call animal control to help us get a young western diamondback rattlesnake out from inside our shower door rail inclosure. Young enough that you couldn’t hear the rattle, but you could see it twitch. These were much more common when we lived in Tucson, AZ.
An honorable mention speaking of Arizona. Whixh is my native state. The Western diamondback Rattlesnake. It's very venomous. We also have Gola monsters here in Arizona too.
Bears will hunt people, especially polar bears.
Ive seen several of these lists. Many of them vary. Actually in terms of shark attacks ive read bull sharks are more likely to attack humans than great whites.
The cougar or puma or panther or mountain lion are all the same animal.
They are 2.8 to 5 feet (86 to 155 centimeters.)
Females weigh 75 to 105 pounds (34 to 48 kilograms);
Males weigh 116 to 158 pounds (53 to 72 kilograms)
They are not likely to attack, but they will if you act in a threatening manner and approach it or if you run.
Pretty much, they are ambush predators, but I would not underestimate their power. It is not outside the realm of possibility that they can, at least, severely injure or, at worst, kill a human.
Yea where i live in Oklahoma we gonna worry about water moccasins brown recluse, and other creepy crawlies
The video says Buffalo only live in Yellowstone NP. They also live in the Dakotas.
These guys looked pretty nervous after the first two 🤣🤣🤣 Better stay where you are lol.
I live in Virginia near the Jefferson National Forest. Every once in a while you'll hear reports of black bears wandering into towns, but there are rarely any attacks. It usually happens during droughts or when mothers wander into towns with their cubs. Usually these are just tranquilized by Animal Control and relocated back into the forest.
But you'll be surprised to learn that a HIGH number of fatalities are caused by the white-tailed deer! But NOT from attacks! They are infamous for wandering onto busy highways and backroads causing many car crashes, often resulting in fatalities. That is why the carefully controlled hunting season for deer is VERY important. Unfortunately this hunting season is necessary to thin the herds, otherwise the number of deer on the roads could very quickly get out of hand!
A key thing to understand is that animals that are predators mainly decide whether to attack on if they think you’re worth the trouble of chasing down; prey animals are trying to decide if you’re a threat. Large prey animals are often more trigger happy for this reason
Hey! You guys were great in Madness 👍
Hahaha 🤪
For bears "If it's brown, lay down. If it's black, fight back." Not saying you should, but people tend to be able to be do fine with a black bear if you stay still, or you can try scaring it as they do get spooked.
my cousin is a TH-camr based in phoenix & he invited his little sister to spend time with him, the guest room had scorpions she was bitt twice & rushed to the Hospital her life was barely saved if they would have found her 10 minutes later she would probably be gone..
We hear coyotes occasionally but they stay off our mountain for some reason. We also have no snakes on our mountain. We did have a cougar once.
Do you have Black Widow spiders in the UK? a lot worse spider bite is from the Brown Recluse. The bite rots the skin all the way to the bone if not treated quickly.
We frequently also get Great White sharks off the Coast of New England. Jaws was not wrong in that. We get them off the massachusetts coast near Cape Cod every summer.
Only Reason A Cougar Would Attack Is If Its Children Are In The Area. Other Then That They Actually Run Away If Humans Are Around
rattle snakes usually leave people alone.
Pops, the cougar has several regional aliases: mtn. lion, catamount and panther. See if you can find the smartphone video here of a young man who was out for a run in rural UT when he stumbled upon a mama with young cubs. For the rest of the video he was backing away, and trying to act as big as possible. It's scary just watching.
It should be pointed out that the guy in the grizzly section petting and playing with it probably raised it from a cub, and is safe with it.
Granddaddy longlegs are completely harmless spiders.
In the alligator section, there was a "lunatic' who had his head in the mouth of 1. Most likely he was a member of Florida's Seminole tribe, and people who visit their reservation are able to see an alligator wrangling exhibition while there.
Probably the main reason 1 animal didn't make it onto this list is because they live well off the beaten path. I'm speaking of the polar bear, which are only in arctic Alaska, which is roadless.
I saw a bear eating something out of someone's garbage can 😳
