Steve Irwin would appreciate this. He loved nature and died doing what he wanted to do. Nobody thought it would have been from that particular creature. But I know he would have really enjoyed Coyote's work and encouraged him to the fullest. I would have loved to see a conversation between him and Coyote. Nature is their whole lives and an obsession. Stay safe coyote and keep up the best work.
I couldn't help but break down in tears unexpectedly and get really emotional at the beginning/throughout this video... This is one of the reasons why I love watching you so much Coyote. I'm 23 years old but I feel like I'm brought back to my childhood with Steve Irwin every time I watch you, but you of course are unique and fun to watch in your own way as well. And seeing you handling a stingray made me so happy but sad at the same time knowing this was the animal that took Steves life. But he took that risk every day with every animal he encountered because he loved them and seeing you reminds me of that and it just makes me so happy Coyote.. Your love/passion/excitement for animals no matter how dangerous or scary is so incredible and it's just amazing. Please don't ever change.. and Stay Safe Coyote.
Pardon me, but this is not the species that killed Steve. It was the Short Tailed Stingray. It is a very large creature with a huge barb, and usually strikes in the legs, making the wound non-lethal, but with its large size, it has a bigger range of attack. It probably just panicked and used it for defense, so please don’t be mad at the stingrays. Your comment was beautiful, but I had to point this out
Sunshine Draws I think he just generalized it because he didnt know the specific type of ray that killed him. Would kind of be like «my friend got killed by a shark». Not specified if it was a tiger shark, great white etc.
OMG I feel so bad for you! I am really sorry this happened to you. You have been through so much but you never quit. You are a very hearted person. I promise I will prey for you every night. I hope good will and wishes to you amazing and hearted human beang.
lol 9:16 the Ray calmed down when Coyote started petting it. That Ray went from "IM A GONER, FLAILING WILDLY TIME!" too " What is this glorious feeling..."
Jack Edwards the stringray who unfortunatly killed steve was huge, like severel meters in width and it was stated clearly that the puncture of his heart was no no aggressive behaviour. Tragic accident, no stringray going for a kill
Jack Edwards They do not wanna attack People however if They feel threatened They will attack you... happened to Steve Irwin because the stingray thought that he was a shark... and he got stung like 100 times
Please remember that the incident with Steve Irwin was a freak accident! Not only is a sting to the chest really uncommon, the actual reason for his death was because the barb pierced his heart, not due to the venom at all. Of course it's normal to be worried, but no need to freak out.
Wish he'd mentioned Steve Erwin, he was killed by the largest species of stingray. The barb went into his heart, had it gone into his arm he'd be alive today.
Actually, Maleny is about 15-20Kms from Australia Zoo (Steve's zoo that's renown throughout Australia). Could've been a nice shoutout for the Sunny Coast if he brought that up.
Gerardo Herrera thanks 💖 yes my husband is Honduran my little girl whole name is all flowers i didn't even think about it till after lol her name is Isabella Rose Flores lol
R.I.P. Stephen Robert Irwin, AKA, The Crocodile Hunter (1962 - 2006). One of my childhood heroes, he taught me so much about animals, just as Coyote Peterson does today. Love the channel, love the product and the education. Keep up the good work, man! Be brave, stay wild.
You should do an episode with Bindi Irwin and Robert Irwin while ur there in Australia(Steve "Crocodile Hunter " Irwin's kids ) Like this so he could see this
One thing people should be aware of is that the species that killed Steve Irwin is the short-tail stingray. That is the largest stingray in the world with a disc-width of more than 2 metres across and weighing more than 350kg, and it has a barb the size of a bayonet. In general stingrays - with the exception of those freshwater ones in the Amazon - are not particularly venomous, and it is the physical wound by the barb itself that causes the more bodily harm. And because most of them are small, people are usually struck in their lower legs and therefore the injury is not life-threatening. But because of short-tail stingray's huge size, it has a much bigger range of attack. Heck, this animal has even killed a killer whale in New Zealand when it strucked a barb into the predators mouth and the barb broke of in the whale's palate.
fun video!!: * This is Bli Bli/Maroochydore area part of the Maroochy River estuary, not Maleny. Maleny is in the hills. * "Drag your feet guys, so you don't get stung" - stomp stomp stomp lol * "I need to check the temperature of this small water hole first" - plonks the ray directly into it * "I don't want to handle this ray too much" - proceeds to give it a full body massage lmao.... good fun overall - RIP Steve Irwin
I like how he is very careful to mention not just once at the beginning to shuffle through the water only to moments later start stomping through it to catch the ray haha
Is it just me, or did that sting ray liked being petted? Lmao it made such a fuss when he tried holding it up, but didn't move when they stroked its back
I went to an aquarium once they had rays you could pet One really liked being petted and when I wanted to leave it frikin STOOD UP on its tail and flapped its "wings" and splashed me and everyone near me until I went back to pet it 😂
Fun fact: Humans have a tendecy to pet animals, it's a bonding act and social characteristic. Some animals have evolved to this petting structure to realize that it means no harm and you're caring for it. Notice when he started petting it, it wasnt thrashing as much. It's our body language that we mean no harm and it's adorable how humans and animals have evolved from this
KoRRuPT LeGeNDz KoRRuPT LeGeNDz sorry for the miss understanding. No I’m not 12, I know his name is Steve Irwin. I originally wrote crocodile hunter so that people of a younger generation might know who I’m referencing. I’ve already seen children ask who Steve Irwin is so I put the name that the children call him
Steve Irwin was stabbed multiple times from a sting ray twice the size of this one in the video. Coyote had nothing to worry about with this small one.
Sheesh, they really dragged their feet on making this episode, but seeing it uploaded was a ray of light on my youtube page.. Really takes the sting out of boredom.
Loved it guys! I once mistook a spotted stingaree for a skate and went to pick it up, got stung and had to endure the hours of excruciating pain. That experience gave me a new respect for rays and this video makes me like them even more.
Paradises Den he clickbaited once meaning this channel has clickbaited before, so the statement "the only non-clickbait channel" is wrong. So you check your facts
It's crazy seeing all of the responses about Steve Irwin's death....goes to show how much of an inspiration he was for us...if Steve was still around, I believe he would be proud of Coyote and the rest of the Brave Wilderness crew! Be safe Coyote #GoneButNotForgotten
**EDITED** What happened with Steve was with a much bigger species a few times bigger than this one (about 8 feet). It also stung him hundreds of times in the chest, puncturing his lungs and severely damaging his heart. So that was a freak accident where the stingray's venom wasn't technically at fault. Tragic, yes, but a practically one time thing.
" when he pulled it out it killed him" stop spreading this misinformation. Steve and his film crew were experts on the animal life in and around Australia, they're not naive enough to pull out a barbed stinger and have gone on record saying they didn't remove any stinger from Steve
I was at the beach one time and I was shuffling my feet because I knew that there were some stingrays in the water. A wave comes and picks me up off the floor and when I landed I was slipping on a stingray. I never got stung (thank god!) but I was a little bit scared. My bff said that I look weird when I was slipping on the stingray lol. I have fed stingrays before though! It’s interesting and fun!

eddielikesgames true. But you never know. Similar to what happened with the centipede. Coyote is known for taking numerous bites and stings, but the centipede was one he couldn’t even handle. He had to go to the hospital and everything. Nature is just unpredictable sometimes
He's doing that to catch it faster. IDK why people keep commenting stuff like this and they don't even know what they're talking about about. You only drag your feet when your close to it. And start stomping when your far away from it, so you can get to it faster and catch it 😑🙄
Reminder ya'll, steve didn't blame the ray. Steve even actively explained that he scared the ray before he passed. The ray was afraid, steve knew that. he wouldn't want ya'll blaming stingrays for his death. That man loves animals and stingrays are included.
My son loves watching your videos and can even say your name. A few days ago, he told me “momma I want to watch Coyote Peterson. He’s my friend.” ☺️ he’s only 3. Thank you for uploading very informative and adventure-filled videos.
Coyote: Remember to drag your feet guys! Also Coyote: 4:10 If coyote sees this I love your videos been subbed for about 4 years can't get enough of it 😂😄
Here's a story about a stingray Once when I was about six my friend and I were walking along a beach in shallow water and stepped on something slimy and smooth I looked down and there was a stingray and it swung its barb around and hit my ankle and I was severely injured. It was in Australia.
Not sure about this species of ray but most rays or skates that I know have some rough sand paper skin on the top and underside of the side fins. They also have some pretty pointy things that can cut you around that area too, but the rest of the body is slimy and smooth
