That and the intellect to create the deadly weaponry/tools needed to hunt/subdue many of these huge animals. That croq took 100 people to hunt him, but im sure given a military armored vehicle like an lmg mounted truck or an attack chopper a single crew of like 2-5 people couldve taken it out. That would be going overboard but it gets the message across. We have become the most deadly hunters on the planet by cooperative intellect yet we are still very weak alone. That should be clear by countless horror movies if anything. Numbers matter and if all animals were as big as some of the monsters shown here we would be the ones on the verge of being extinct.
It’s not just opposable thumbs. We’re not the only animals with them. Rats and raccoons, among other species, both have opposable thumbs. It was our combination of our grip ability and our intellect. Our pattern recognition abilities, along with our quick 1-2-3 connection abilities, allowed us to indulge our natural curiosities about experimentation that just doesn’t cross the minds of most other animals.
Dont forget about our endurence, our ancestors could chase an animal until it dies, and our social thinking allows us to make wild animals into pets, using their advantages as our own
I agree with you. These marvels of nature should be returned to their habitat and be allowed to carry on with life. Humans have already destroyed so much natural habitat to the extent of extinction of many living things. Let these miracles of nature alone.
Great reaction, thank you. Lived in the heart of bear country, Black Bear were common & Grizzly were 'around' but didn't want to be seen. You learn to live w/nature, you don't kill it. The bears knew we lived in that cabin & didn't want them around. & We knew where the bears lived & didn't go anywhere around their home. You learn to live w/nature.
Fun fact. There's one shark that is thought to be between almost 300 to 500 years old. Sharks can live a long time, they also have a natural immunity to cancer. The oldest living animal we know of is a clam that's almost eight hundred years old. Unless it's still fascinating now that there's a shark that's double the age of America.
Pancho Villa! Lmao. I'm Mexican American and I had to laugh at the fact that the bulls horns were shaped like Pancho's mustache . Great choice of name. Lol.
Your opening reminded me of a few summers ago when I was cleaning the garage I found the largest black widow I had ever seen. The thing was like a black cherry tomato with legs. I'm pretty desensitized to black widows as they are a common sight in my area but this one terrified me enough to jump away.
Yes, tortoises live a LONG time. Living that long for a human would only work if we didn't age the way we do, Kabir. For their owners, those dogs are very gentle and protective.
Crocodillians didn't evolve from Dinosaurs, like Sharks they evolved WAAAAAY before Dinos, like there's a bigger gap between the first Crocs and Sharks, than between us and the last living T Rex. You should check out more sciencey vids too like Dinos, Space size comparisons and things like that, they really blow your mind.
The 200 year-old animal is an aldabra tortoise. Many tortoises live well over 100 plus years. People keep all types of tortoises as pets in the Southern US. Most start out as the size of a coin and grow huge over their long life span. Most people leave the torioises in their will when they die because they live longer than humans. There are many RU-vid channels about the topic.
If you watch “Anaconda” watch out for this blooper: towards the end of the movie, the scene is the boat moving backwarrds, the waterfall in the background is falling UP! Funniest thing ever!!!
Crocodilia (The family of crocodile and alligators) are actually cousins of dinosaurs. They both come from archosauriformes family. They have changed very little during their evolution so they look more like dinosaurs in comparison to the descendants of dinosaurs.
Doing some quick research I’ve found some animals that can live for disgusting amounts of time! One in particular is purely mind boggling! “Antarctic Sponges - Anoxycalyx (Scolymastra) joubini, the volcanic sponge, is said to live for a minimum of 15,000 years. This sponge species lives in Antarctica and its growth is very slow.” Also, a bit of extra info on Sea Sponges: “Sea sponges are one of the world's simplest multi-cellular living organisms. Yes, sea sponges are considered animals not plants. But they grow, reproduce and survive much as plants do. They have no central nervous system, digestive system or circulatory system - and no organs!”
Some jellyfish are essentially immortal. I've heard we've been studying their DNA to see if we can extend human lives or help cure cancers. Idk how practical it is to expect the study to mount to anything. But still, cool concept to think about.
those measurments of the tall animals? they measure only to the withers (top of shoulder) so the 6'9" horse was prob over 7 ft. at the top of the head.
These animals have to be protected. All of the creatures on earth, in the seas & natural water have to have their natural habitat for them to thrive & man should stop encroaching!! It's awful what greed has done. If people would not purchase items that animals are killed for, there would be no need for certain protections. It's a matter of NO DEMAND NO PRODUCT!! THAT'S how we can protect them
Here in Florida we have a horrible trouble with constrictors people get them as pets they get loose or people dump them in the wild. I've seen pictures of a boa tried to swallow a full grown alligator and blew his sides out. They have hunts every year.
Leatherback sea turtles usually live around 50 years; the oldest on record was about 100 years old. Giant tortoises however live to be closer to 200 years old. Ming the clam lived to be 507 years old when scientists wanting the precise age decided to kill it so they could do more "scientific research". Hope they're proud of themselves.
If you have a dog as big as those shown, what do you do when it wants the steak you're eating? In the early 1970s, a farmer in California bred a whole flock of huge chickens. The federal government seized and destroyed them after they killed an endangered silver fox that invaded the hen house.
Usually to live a long age you need a slow heart rate. The tortoise would be like 15 beats a minute. There's a 600yr old shark in Greenland area. It lives in the deep deep ocean.
4:08 There's nothing terrifying about a flying fox. They are basically dogs that can fly. They are known as "gentle giants". Just watch videos of rescued flying foxes, they immediately become super affectionate and get attached to their care takers, just like a rescued dog. I would love to adopt a non-releasable flying fox.
I don’t know how old it was but a 13 foot sturgeon was caught in the lake by where I used to live in East Tennessee. The lake was man made and was part of the Tennessee Valley Authorities project.
In a nearby lake close to the dam, divers have come across catfish as big as a grown man. Several have refused to dive there again including the husband of a co-worker of mine. I heard rumors for years about giant catfish in that lake and she was the first person I talked to that assured me that yes it was true,
Sorry to comment so much but there’s a jellyfish called the “ immortal jellyfish “ that can technically live forever. Once it get olds it “respawns” into a younger version of itself and keep living. Unless it gets eaten or something
I question the accuracy of this video. It said that big Jake the horse weighed 2.6 tons. That would be 5200 pounds. So I googled it. He weighs 2500 pounds. I’ve raised thoroughbred horses pretty much my entire life and there is absolutely no chance it costs 315 dollars a day to feed that horse. Not even half that. You feed a horse between 1.5%-3% their body weight per day of forage(grass, or hay), and 5-10 pounds of grain per day. Good quality hay is around 200 dollars a ton. Sometimes higher sometimes lower. Grain is 20-40 dollars for a 50 pound bag. Even at 3% that’s 75 pounds of hay a day. Add 10 pounds of grain. That works out to about $15.50. And that’s with everything on the high side.
A 300 year old sea turtle was discovered. I think turtles live longer than any animal that moves around. It's not unusual for parrots to live over 100 years. They say you have to have a person in mind to pass it on to. Sea creatures live amazingly long lives, even though we've polluted the hell out of their environment. Technically, corals are animals. They can live 5,000 years.
"You'll find a 30 centimeter spid..." No. No I won't. SMALL spiders freak me out (and before a spider lover tells me they are amazing and harmless - I've been bitten by: brown recluse, wolf and black widow. If ANYONE is allowed to have a terror of the bastards, I do!) and 'spiders bigger than my HEAD' takes the possibility of me being within 1,000 miles to zero.
That's incredible! I'll bet that chicken was actually a rooster (a male). And I have seen that breed before. I've heard they're very mean, but I don't really know. He's beautiful though!
A clam was found to be from 400 years ago and still alive. It was found in California. A clam first came into the world around Christopher Columbus’s time still lived weird right.
Black widows are easy to catch. They're very reclusive and not very fast. I sometimes get them in my yard. Usually I take them to the cornfield across the street and set them free. They'd rather try to hide than attack.
The good news is you could have the tortoise longevity gene. The bad news is it would take you all day just to hunt down the car keys.🙂 It seems like large reptiles tend live a long time. Some plants live for thousands of years.
Yeah Trees like the redwood in California USA and the Kauri here in New Zealand and they are not just any old plants and some jellyfish cannot die at all they are literally living Jelly
Lol “toxic sting” 😅 sorry. I don’t mean to poke but it’s venomous bite. My grandmother got bite by a brown recluse which is the other venomous spider here in the states. She got to the hospital quick but she got bit on the nose and it ate the skin away from her nasal cavity. She had a near hole in her nose until the day she died
That was definitely a lion. Ligers if I remember right have stripes sooo that's one big lion. They got that wrong. Amur Tiger is the same thing as a Siberian Tiger. Same tiger
I always wonder how they know the age of an animal that's 200 years old, especially an animal in the wild. All I can guess is based on how much the animal is estimated to grow per year.
Wild hogs run rampant where I live so I’ll not be handing over any of my guns any time soon. My neighbor down the road killed one that was higher than my waist while laying on its side. 😟
Just can't imagine living to 200 years. Don't think I'd want to ... definitely do not want to see most any of those... especially the centepede thing... no just no.
Yeah that's probably the oldest known Turtle, but some researchers estimate large turtles can live up to 400 to 500 years. Also it's estimated that Greenland sharks live between 300 to 500 years.
People shouldn't be allowed to fish for extremely old fish like the 100 year old White Sturgeon or whatever animal it is at that point. If it is twice as old as you, it deserves to continue on till its own end. That means the one they killed in 1922 could be 250 maybe 300 years old. Around when you Brits had power. None had ever said the words United States of America. The colonies had been around for a like 60 years when that fish started. The French and Indians burned New York. Then we burnt woman as Witches in Salem. 1670ish to 1920ish. RIP Old Big Ass Caviar Fish.
It's amazing that we humans having opposable thumbs that make it possible to do all the things we're capable of. Big a or small, I see a lion , I'm running for dear life! They be huge, but these animals are beautiful! Geese are nasty.
When the video you are reacting to tells a lie in the first 10 seconds, you should consider the rest of it with a pound of salt. (Biggest creatures to ever live were dinosaurs) The largest creatures to ever live are still alive, i.e., the Blue Whale. Don't get me wrong, I like your reaction. It's the video you reacted to that I don't like.
Someone needs to take that dog away from that woman. You don't put your dog in danger...uhg I really hated that...swans can do some real damage... Also, F hunters and their disgusting trophy pics🤮
