@@MANG00J I swear you could see him start to sweat almost immediately when he understood he was gonna be asked if he wanted to hold it! I respect him for pushing through that concern!
The centipede he was bitten by, S. dehaani, is a species with a pretty potent venom, but it is not the most venomous. Species that are much more likely to be closer to the number one spot include E. rubripes spinosis, sp. "Malaysian tiger," and potentially E. rubripes platycephalus. To my knowledge, centipedes are capable of controlling how much venom they inject, so that is something to consider. A couple other people mentioned this, and I agree. Yeah, that centipede is not healthy. You can tell by the sluggish movement, and it appears it can barely move its anntenae at all. It has pretty severe mycosis, which is a fungal infection that can be caused by dirty conditions, inadequate ventilation, and keeping them too wet. Mycosis appears as black patches that slowly eat away at the centipede, and it can be found on any part of its body. If you do not take care of the infection, it will almost certainly result in death. Keeping centipedes very moist with little ventilation is a common mistake due to all the misinformation online. To get rid of mycosis, you must increase ventilation and completely dry their enclosure, but make sure you have a water dish constantly full so it does not desiccate. This will stop it from spreading any further until the pede reaches its next molt, which will save it if it's not too late already. (In your case I'm quite sure it's too late though.) Another method I have seen is to make a pure rock salt solution by placing a small amount of rock salt in boiling water for 5-10 minutes. Apply it to the infected areas of the centipede with a Q-tip, then gently scratch it away with a toothpick. This is a lot more tedious, considering you have to knock it out before you do it. There are two ways to knock them out: CO2 and ice water. I'd recommend ice water since most people are able to do that rather than CO2, and ice water works well enough. The species in the beginning is a good example of all the misinformation because it is often misidentified as "Scolopendra gigantea," which is not true; it is an unidentified species yet to be described. The problem that occurs when you misidentify species like that, especially in this case, is that they are found in different environments, therefore requiring different care. The species in the beginning is known as "sp. white legs." They are found in a more arid environment in the highlands of Peru. On the other hand, the true S. gigantea that it's being misidentified as is found in a lower, more humid environment, such as parts of Venezuela, Colombia, and Trinidad. I believe it is found in more than just those three places, but I can't remember off the top of my head.
Bugs and Biology a great channel to watch just dropped a video calling out Peterson for the condition of the Centipede in this video so I had to check it out for myself I highly recommend checking out the video yourself
Damn Coyote is what is left of a human after you remove fear 100% and still decide to boost braveness by 500%. He's like the ultimate survivor who is also the last expected person to survive.
For those of you criticizing coyote i think you forgot one thing... the centipede appears to be very unhealthy but not at the fault of coyote and his team. It is more than likely due to the person who sold it to them and it's shipping conditions. We see this in the aquarium trade often as well
The doc needs to redo this video. Get a more potent centipede as mentioned in the comments (such as Malaysian Tiger) and make sure it's actually HEALTHY. And apologise and make corrections based on the lack of information in this video.
@@petsvetczeveryone has a different pain tolerance and i can guarantee he handles these bites better than most. most people probably wouldnt be able to talk through pain like that. that ‘debunking’ is just weird. how can you debunk a pain reaction??
Well, now you have a living hole puncher for your office! Glad you're okay, Coyote, and I'm glad your fundraiser did well! I have no doubt the rhinos thank you! Great job!
This man's been bitten by so many things that he's become a walking antidote. No one survives all those different venoms without next-level poison resistance.
Actually, venom and poison are different categories, not the same thing. He wasn't being poisoned he was being injected with venom see you can drink venom but not poison
@@NapppleDahAppple People drink poison too. People have been doing so for thousands of years. Henbane, datura, foxglove, fly agaric, belladonna, chelidonium majus, hemlock, monkshood etc... the list goes on.
@@vantagepoint9270 that was an accident though wasnt it? I'm talking the many venomous creatures he has purposely had bit or stung him. Hes never purposely put himself in mortal danger for a video. A box full of yellow jackets is pretty wild though
Because it is dying due to improper care/treatment. It has a severe fungal infection and is basically running on autopilot. It’s incredibly sad to see for such a beautiful and rare specimen.
And the streak continues!!!!!!!!!!! also I feel like all the journeys that he has been going throw he 100% has so much experience. And I've learned so much and, it inspires me to look at bugs and critters that i come across to absolutely amazing.
That white legs looks like it's literally on its last leg. poor thing clearly has not been getting proper care. I have NEVER seen a healthy pede move that sluggish with such little mobility in the antennae.
Could also be you know old. Centipedes lifespan is approximately a year. And finding an ambassador which is very tame and docile means that they probably pushing that close as they want to get the most out of it as finding another docile centipede probably isn't a very easy task.
@beni5149 large centipedes can and usually do live up to 7 years. This poor creature is also obviously suffering from mycosis, which is acquired through a consistent falier in husbandry. There's a chance that this was wild caught and at the end of its life, but even then, this isn't an ambassador. This is a dying centipede that has been in someone's care. Someone who is giving it improper care.
Peruvian giant white-leg centipede is not Scolopendra gigantea, it's a separate undescribed species nicknamed "white leg", generally referred to as Scolopendra sp. "white leg". And you can see that whoever owns this centipede didn't know that, cause you can see the centipede has mycosis (Scolopendra sp. "white leg" needs to be kept more dry than S. gigantea), it's so bad that the centipede can barely walk and its antennae are so rotted that it can't move them at all. I don't think they can sense fear, they just sense that the ground under them is shaking, which would probably make them more nervous. The most venomous centipede species (at least one that we know of) is probably "Riau Giant"/"Malaysian Tiger", it's an undescribed species and according someone who's been stung by both this one and Scolopendra dehaani (the one in the video, I actually have one of those at home, just a different color morph) it's been the most painful Allergic reactions to centipede venom are pretty rare, they happen more common with hymenoptera (bees, wasps and ants) stings, scorpion stings, sometimes snake bites, etc. Another thing: pain meds appear to not have much effect when it comes to some centipede stings (similar thing appears to be true with viper bites, you could get a shot of morphine and the pain will drop from 8/10 to maybe like 7/10), from what I've gathered local anesthesia seems to be more effective (also a warm compress might help a bit) They also showed very little of the actual reaction, from 'bite' reports I've read on this species the pain will only keep going up for like an hour or 2, then stay like that for a couple more hours before it starts to drop. The shot he was given certainly helped him get through the worst part. Correction: That centipede is already basically dead, its centralized brain appears to not be functioning and it's basically running on auto-pilot.
The poor White Legs clearly suffered massive mistreatment. I hope Coyote does his due-diligence and clarifies this. That centipede is very much NOT 'fine'.
@@HotAppleKai The whole show is terribly managed, they all clearly care more about views than the animals they're presenting. It's full of factual mistakes and it's not the first time animals were mistreated. The fact that no one noticed that something was wrong with the centipede indicates that no one there actually seems to care about animals or education, it took Coyote 6 years to learn that centipede's forcipules aren't its mandibles.
@@yaboycapone1996 So pointing out that no one there (maybe except for the doctor) has any clue what they're doing is "crying" and that the show supposedly about animals is so poorly managed that they couldn't keep an animal alive for more than few months is "crying"
4:43 Why was this weirdly adorable coming from one of these things? Just imagine the centipede had baby Dorys voice shaking it’s head yes looking up a Coyote confirming it’s comfortable being held 🥹😂
Any animal that pose no harm to humans can be cute. Friendly wolves, snakes, sharks are super adorable. And for this case some centipedes can be kept as pets
@@lukaschen3009 Definitely! No doubt about that, although if you put that way it goes for all animals, the ones that do pose harm to humans can be cute too depending on who you ask. As long as you observe them from a distance, or know what you’re doing, stay safe, and respect their boundaries. Centipedes are one of the nopes for me thought this was hilarious. Solid pfp like exactly lol
@@axiyxav5377Oh fr? I don't know anything about centipede care, since it's the only animal I am terrified of on earth I've just learned ways to make sure I never ever encounter one. But I do wanna ask how you can tell it's dying?
The first one is actually the second largest species ( _S. sp., "Peruvian white leg"_ ), after the true Amazonian giant centipede ( _S. gigantea_ ). There are two species which have caused human casualties, _S. gigantea_ & _S. dehaani_ (Vietnamese giant). The second one (the "cherry red") is actually considered a morph of _S. dehaani_ . I've been pinched by _S. dehaani_ several times for carelessness while working with them. I believe their venom is more cytotoxic than neurotoxic due to the intense localised pain & swelling of tissue. Besides potency, quantities of venom contribute to the potential damage, and that's what makes those New World giants dangerous with the gigantic sizes.
fascinating!! have you read any good papers on the subject or written any yourself? venom and stuff fascinates me, but there aren't really any undergrad courses on it in my uni.
100% correct but just adding a detail reg. the largest sizes. S. subspinipes (originating from Southeast Asia) usually averages at around 20 cm but some far larger individuals have been found, with one even being the current record holder with a massive 36.6 cm in length in Hawaii.There has not been found a larger individual even among the S. gigantea
@royalrovers actually scolopendra sp. white legs is the largest species, they get larger than gigantea. i believe the record right now for white legs is somewhere around 40cm not including the terminal legs and antenna.
@@danielballard3364Any sources for that Hawaiian one? The only one I could find was extremely suspicious, with the supposed centipede not resembling any species that occurs in Hawaii.
Well, with all those other nature/animal/bite channels out there, hardly breaking a sweat after the Bullet Ant, all the crazy Wasps and all, he for sure had to change his game. Still not sure about the Desert Centipede Bite, if it really was so painful, i mean, i guess different people react differently, perhaps different ants pack a different amount of venom, younger ants, who knows, but i gotta say, i was rather amused when i saw these young guys getting bitten and having a laugh about Coyote P.
@@lowandodor1150 The Bullet ants you mean the young guys having a laugh about Coyote? Where was this, I am curious. Also those cultures that do the bullet ant things are probably just used to it by now since they grow up with them and probably have many bites over their lives.
@@piratefilmco No, not the young boys doing the coming of age ritual with the gloves. I am talking about other youtubers with wildlife channels from the U.S.
Kings of pain have done some same species as coyote like the warrior wasp and one thing they noted that the pain index creator noted was that they only sting to inflict pain when protecting their nest. Meanwhile coyote had one away from the nest for a while and really hammed it up acting like it was terrible. Kings of pain neither of them actually could really tell they got stung.
Centepete biting is one of the most hurtful bite out there, my brother was also bites by Centepete on his leg and he said,'' it is like putting the burning charcoal on your leg''.
Worse, I’d bet, being someone who has had a massive burning charcoal jump onto my leg for an extended period of time. I’d prefer that even to a bite from this centipede..
That's one sick and unhealthy "white leg". It's practically rotting away. Quite clearly kept very badly, in totally wrong conditions. I'd be surprised if it's still alive.
The first or the second centipede? And are white legs a sign of bad health for centipedes? If you mean the first one, is white leg also the reason why it's moving so slow?
@@Reptileowner The black spots you see all over it is a fungal disease called mycosis, common in centipedes that are kept in too humid of an environment without proper ventilation. The way it is acting and the lack of movement from its antennae and maxillae leads me to think the nerve cluster in the head that acts as the "brain" of the centipede is dead (either from the mycosis or dehydration), and the body is simply moving on autopilot. If you look at the teaser video they released from 2 months ago, you can tell the centipede was in better health back then (though it appears it still had mild mycosis even then).
I agree that giant Peruvian centipede could barely move. It's probably near death, about to molt or it's really cold in that room. More likely it's near the end of its lifespan.
It's a shame that this livestream wasn't advertised, or available to watch anymore. I would have watched the whole thing if I knew it was going to happen.
They gave each other a fist bump, handshake and a high five. That’s when you know you made a true friend. Incredible video, thanks for all the memories and enjoyment you guys gave me. I’ve been watching you guys since the Stone Age and I still watching you guys now, absolutely amazing! 😁
How could the producers and Coyote miss that the first centipede shown has mycosis and malnourished? What environment did you all have it set up in to make its condition that much worse??
@@deadaccount03791 Centipedes are always moving their antennae. The first centipedes antennae are practically rotted away. It's central brain is most likely dead as well. This centipede is not going to survive
@@PuddingXXL The black spots you see all over it is a fungal growth that is a disease centipedes can get called mycosis. If left untreated for too long, the centipedes will eventually die. In this video, you can look closely at the head of the centipede and notice that the antennae and maxillae (mouthparts) don't move much, this is because the nerve cluster in the head (bug "brain") is dead and likely succumbed to the mycosis infection or dehydration. The rest of the body still moves because the other nerve clusters are still alive and active, but the body is likely moving on autopilot at this point, and without the head alive to eat things, the centipede will die.
It was super awesome your collab with Dr. ER and I hope to see him again with you, maybe even bring DrMike along for the ride too as maybe Dr advice post ER seeing your regular doctor later following up.
