SCARED BRITISH GUY Reacts to TERRIFYING ANIMALS ONLY FOUND IN AMERICA! 

After this vid, come say Hello, I’m live on twitch! www.twitch.tv/adamcouser

Yes, Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon are close. It's about a two hour drive. Hope you get to see it.

Alligators are surprisingly fast on land. They can sprint up to 35 mph. So, it's wise to give them plenty of room. If you don't get too close, they won't bother you. I am in South Carolina and several live in a pond behind my house, and have never had problems with them.

So something they never mention is that Gators can climb fences and trees. They aren't very good at it but it's good to keep in mind that up is a direction they can go. And yes. Gators can sprint up to 35 mph.

In Colorado as kids we learned that when encountering a Mountain Lion - you make yourself look big, stare into it's eyes and yell and be aggressive. WOn't hurt if you also have a stick to swing at it. You DO NOT turn and run from it - then you are prey. People have attacked mountain lions that have grabbed their dogs and beaten them off to save their dogs. To say the mountain lions are shocked is an understatment.

Adam! While I was hiking yesterday I got a photo of a wetland giant wolf spider. Which was awesome but then she turned to me and said, "Tell Adam I'm coming for him." 😨

The Grand Canyon is about 2 hrs from Vegas. There are even tour companies in Vegas that bus people to the Canyon. Its definitely worth the ride.

So Punxsutawney Phil is from Pennsylvania (he’s actually like the tenth edition or so). He’s a groundhog and every year on February second, the town throws a huge party and they bring him out. Then he predicts the weather. If he sees his shadow, there’ll be six more weeks of winter. If he doesn’t, there’ll be an early spring! It’s been a tradition since like colonial days, and it’s obviously a bigger holiday if you live in the Northeast. Other states have their own groundhogs, but Phil is the famous one.

2:30 humming birds can seriously injure you. my brother was attacked by one when we were going up. YES. he was antagonizing it. and it STABBED him in the arm... I laughed the whole way to the hospital...

1:06 When I lived in the Rocky Mountains, Larimer County, Colorado, we had a family of chipmunks that lived under our front porch. They sure were entertaining. Lots of nervous energy but cute as all get-out. Now that we live in the low desert of Arizona, we have learned to love the Tarantula species of spiders. While ugly and frightening at first glance, they kill and eat scorpions which can really harm people. We live in the middle of Phoenix and we have Wild Pigs called Javelinas which are the ugliest mammal there is as well as coyotes in our yards all the time since we live near a dry riverbed.

Ah yes chipmunks, the most terrifying of all the animals. :P

I was a trucker for 28 years in the US, parts of Canada and Mexico... Wild animals are the largest cause of issues next to humans out on the road. (In my opinion anyway, lol)

3:03 at my childhood home (my dad still lives there) out in the country, we had Diamondback Rattlers and Water Moccasins... we had to kill several each week during the late spring, all summer, and early fall.... I can't even count the number of times I was almost bit... luckily I never was... we also had plenty if chicken snakes, garter snakes, king snakes, and even a few hognose snakes

Unless you're allergic, a garter snake bite is like a large mosquito bite. A correction on the "Florida Panther": that is one of it's names, but they roam all across the US. For example, I'm 100 miles south of the Canadian border. They don't hang out here, but they come through during their migrations.

We lived in Southern Georgia on a military base. The playground had a sign that read, "Beware: alligators may be present."

Most North American rodents are cute. The wild ones can carry bubonic plague. Squirrels are supposed to be tasty and a real pest in heavily forested areas. Rabbits and hares can carry tularemia. A woodchuck is a fairly big rodent and a menace to trees since they like to girdle them. Armadillos carry leprosy. Opossums are as dumb as rocks. Male grouse have air filled sacs on their chest that they inflate to attract a mate. Snakes eat a lot of pests like shrews, mice and rats. The Kentucky gray fox is the only foxes that can climb trees. Salamanders are amphibians like frogs. North American bats eat insects. They usually live in caves or hollowed out trees. At night thousands of them swarm out in a big cloud. On moonlit nights it is a stunning sight. Most large bats are fruit eaters. Alligators and crocodiles when they want to can run pretty fast. They also use their muscular tails and swimming skills to hunt.

I wrote a book called MESA that comes out in June on Amazon, and YES the Grand Canyon is 100 miles from Las Vegas, I say so in my book too! TONS of snakes there, please be careful.

Gators have a surprisingly fast charge, but expend all their energy quickly and will go limp after putting up a little bit of a fight. Just clamp the jaws shut and keep them that way and you only have to worry about the claws... and the tail... and the fact that they weigh up to five times an average human man's body weight... yeah, I'm saying don't fight a gator.

As a Canadian, I always get a kick out of these "animals only found in America" videos.

Yes, the Grand Canyon is near Las Vegas, and you should definitely go! The main cities that are access points to the canyon are Las Vegas and Flagstaff/Williams, Arizona.

Gators are fast for very short distances and they can jump really high. There is a park called Gatorland in Orlando and they do shows of them jumping up to grab a chicken like 10 feet high! It’s a fun place to go 😂 great reaction ✌🏻🫶🏻

Well as an American I pronounce Patriot as pay-tree-ot. So I would pronounce Patreon as pay-tree-on.

Prairie dogs are actually one of the smartest animals on the planet, and they have their own complex language, almost as complex as human language.

5:32 no, but I do however celebrate Weasel Stomping Day on the fifth Saturday in January (when it happens) “Put your Viking helmet on, spread that mayonnaise on the lawn, don’t you know it’s Weasel, Stomping Day?! People up and down the street, crushing weasels beneath their feet! (It’s a weird Al Yankovic song 😂)

I just discovered you a few days ago, and have enjoyed watching several of your videos related to America. You are SO funny and charming as well. So I just subscribed. I am an American, brought up in and around Kansas City, Missouri. I've also lived in both Florida and Colorado. We currently live in a rural area about 10 miles east of a small town in TX. We are Kansas City Chiefs fans and also love the UFC. Our house is on an acre of land. We have two dogs (a Boxer and a Pit Bull Terrier mix) and a Calico cat. We also feed a small group of feral cats, as well as birds, hummingbirds, squirrels and wild rabbits.. The dogs go wherever we go (outside or inside). The cat isn't allowed outside because of the large predators (coyotes, bobcats, wild boar, etc.) we have here. Anyway, glad I discovered you; and 'll definitely be looking forward to your entertaining reactions.

Garter snakes are harmless to anything with skin. (Their "fangs" are ridiculously underpowered and can't break through the outer layer of skin.) They're dangerous to insects, though. Yes, the Grand Canyon is fairly close (by American standards of distance) to Las Vegas. The western end of the canyon, in particular, is pretty close to the Arizona/Nevada state line. The main park entrance that most people go to (approaching from Phoenix), is somewhat farther away, but still within one-day driving distance. On land, alligators and crocodiles are capable of only very short bursts of speed, more like a lunge than a sprint. They don't have the stamina for chasing down prey on land for any significant distance. Also, their signature attack move, the death roll, only works if they can drag their prey into the water. So, I take it that you are not planning to watch a video on the top 25 most dangerous spiders in the world?

Florida panthers are the local variety of puma.

Prairie dogs have been known to carry bubonic plague so that's fun.

Yes. Vegas is near enough to the Grand Canyon to take a side trip or a tour. Also, I live in Florida, and Gators can run about 35 mph. They told us in school when I was younger that they are not very good at turning, so to run in a zigzag pattern if you have to run away from one. I have seen plenty of them including while kayaking, but luckily never had flee from one.

We have deadly spiders but we do share them with Canada and Mexico. Look out for black widows and brown recluses. I do not have them in my area but we do see tarantulas which are big and hairy with teeth and I don't care if they are venomous or not as they are just scary looking.

Hummingbirds are my favorite. When I lived in Colorado, I used to sit out on my deck with the feeder and watch them feed and buzz all around me. Their flying skills are crazy. They also beat the tar out of each other from time to time. I once saw one pin another and start poking him like crazy. I had to go over and break it up. LOL They also will shoot straight up in the air at crazy speeds, way over the trees, and then come shooting down like a rocket and then pull up suddenly before they crash. Their agility in the air is AMAZING! I don't know how their tiny bodies take the G-Force pressures. I have even seen them out flying during hail storms. It is like they have a force field around them. The most impressive birds I have ever seen. I heard even physicists can't figure out how they are doing what they are doing. We have no math to explain it yet.

Grew up & still live in Central California & have NEVER heard it be called a wetland!! I’ve seen maybe 3 or 4 Garter snakes in my life, but I’ve seen even more Mountain Lions, Black & Brown Bears, poisonous spiders, (majority are Black Widows) Wild Rabbits, Deer, Coyotes & Bats. (individually not combined) I’ve also seen exponentially more Rattlesnakes than any other snake. Also, Salamanders are also found in the foothills of Central California, so are Moose.

fun fact, growing up in florida in school i was taught how to avoid gators, serpentine, they suck at turning on land but dont be fooled, they are FAST in a straight line

My daughter had 2 Garter snakes. We live in PA. They don't grow as long as the ones in CA. Here in PA they're friendly.

I drove tractor-trailer for 25 years. I've never seen the Grand Canyon, but I've driven IN it. From St. George, Utah to Flagstaff, Arizona

So I'm from Pennsylvania (north eastern U.S.), but I lived in florida in my late 20s. The first thing I did was jump in a pond in the middle of the apartment complex and people I didn't even know came out screaming for me to get out. I learned very quickly that gators are common and Florida doesn't remove them from civilian habitats until the gator is over 6 feet long. Yep, I was dumb to the fact. And to answer your question- they're INCREDIBLY fast on land. I only ran into them twice and they were smaller than 6 feet. The trick is, you run in circles around them and keep making the circles bigger until you can run off. Nice vid ❤

😂😂😂 His reaction to the snakes, "Stop saying it's harmless, that's a lie!"

My family took a trip to the Grand Canyon when I was 5 (we live in Arizona). There's a pretty cool train you can take as part of the tour, and every ditch we passed by, my older siblings (10 and 12) would say, "Look! The Grand Canyon!" It got old quickly. When we finally got to our destination, I very loudly and sassily exclaimed, "Oh, wow, what's this- the Grand Canyon?" as if I were completely unimpressed and unaffected. As far as the battle of the siblings was concerned, I felt like came out on top. My brother and sister were embarrassed, but other tourists laughed and thought it was adorable. Lesson learned: don't taunt your sarcastic baby sister for 2 hours on the train. (But really, it's a sight entirely worth seeing, and as it's been over 25 years, I'd like to see it again myself!)

Gators are fast on land and water, some gators have a Jumping run on land and can propel themselves quickly much quicker than most Olympic runners.

10:31 A piece of bacon 😂

5:34 Punxsutawney Phil is a long line of groundhogs that this town, Punxsutawney, has used to ‘predict’ whether or not there will be an early spring. Supposedly, if he doesn’t see his shadow, winter will end early. In reality, he’s only ever correct about 35-41% of the time.

Number 14 the red salamander is a part of the amphibian family and group includes frogs, toads, salamanders, and newts. All can breathe and absorb water through their very thin skin. I’m a frog breeder and I have to be very careful when I’m handling my Frogs because their skin will absorb any soap residue or any lotion or chemicals on my hands because they intake their breath or their air via their body. Toads can be a little bit more hardier. They do have a different system than a lot of of the others in the family, but you still want to be very careful.

Watched all the way to the end but only subscribed through youtube. Don't know anything about those other platforms. Not sure if I, the device I use or the service I get out here can handle much else. A sneeze might throw off the delicate balance that keeps things going, ya know? Very glad you will be visiting the States. Vegas is its own thing as is the Grand Canyon - both definitely worth visiting but not representative of whatever might be considered "typical" in America (not sure there really is such a thing actually). Hope to see videos from you about your experiences here.

Adam keeps us entertained with his great videos. 💚💚💚💚

Check out Antelope Canyon ( at Grand Canyon), it’s so vivid and colourful it looks like a different planet

If you're going to Vegas, you can get a cheap car rental and drive out in the desert. We went to see Devils creek in Death Valley. You'll be right next to Hover Dam, you must see it! It's amazing. A little further out and it's the Grand Canyon. All just a drive away

I grew up in the Sierra Nevadas. Every year, the elementary school I went to as a kid used to get flyers sent home with us to notify parents that it was "cougar season" again. 🤣

As someone who lives in the central valley (Fresno CA) i can attest to the garter snakes being harmless, they honestly dont even try to bite and you can pick them up. Ive never even had one coil up on me before and ive ran into a few of them, they really enjoy the ponding basins around here lol.

14:30 They're very fast if they jump at you, like how a snake has lightning fast strikes. They sprint faster than most people, at about 20mph, but only in a straight line and not for very long, the common strategy is to zig zag if one is coming after you, they can't turn their long bodies very quickly.

I live in Louisiana. I have seen alligators in the wild, and as ambush predators, they don't chase their prey. Generally if they don't catch you on their first lunge, they will not follow you, always provided you manage to avoid that lunge. While they can outrun a person over short distances, they are not good at the long haul. I used to have a small garter snake about 2 feet long as a pet. He loved eating fish, and hanging out with me on my bed in the afternoon sunlight. It wasn't the same species as in the video, but they are an easygoing snake, and people do keep them as pets. Up in Michigan, I once paid a visit to a state park there where the chipmunks would perch on your legs, and beg for food. Again, not the same species as in the video. While they were socialized, to a degree, they were still wild animals, so you would have to take your cues from them. If you do something they don't like, you could find yourself on the receiving end of a nasty bite.

Hello Adam! I've got a friend in Australia that came for a backpacking trip to Yosemite National Park just to see Bears so I took him out to a backcountry site . Oh, He saw bears alright ! One came thru the bedrolls in which we were sleeping about 2:00 AM (all four of us,spread out on the ground next to individual piles of stones with which we discouraged interlopers)

My supervisor had a cougar hiding under a bush in her front yard one morning. She let her dogs out as usual one morning and they went nuts barking, so she came out to see what was up and saw the swole kitty not having fun. She called her dogs off and then called the sheriff's office. They mostly leave humans alone, but small children would be at higher risk alone on a trail.

Yes, Grand Canyon is close enough to Vegas for a day trip. Also, go to Hoover Dam while you’re there. It’ll all close in relative terms. Close in the US is within a few hours drive.

Chipmunks are somewhat like squirrels but cuter. Ever watched, Disney's cartoons with Chip N Dale, it's a must to watch. They are the quintessential chipmunks doing their thing, getting food for winter.

The Grand Canyon is close to Las Vegas -- about a 4 hour drive. You can also sign up for a tour from Las Vegas. There are several tour companies that take people from Vegas to the Canyon. Some of the tours go by bus or Van or you can take plane or helicopter tour over the Grand Canyon from Las Vegas. Check with your hotel's concierge for the different tours.

If you're in Vegas, definitely take the 2 hour drive to the Grand Canyon. There are also tour buses for around $50 if you don't want to rent a car. I've been there once, and it didn't look REAL. It looks like a painting.

Depending on what part of the grand canyon it could take you 2 1/2 to around 5 hours by car. So by US standards yeah its pretty close 😂

The sage grouse courtship display involves singing and displaying his two inflated AIR sacs.

Small alligators can run, though it's more of a bounding movement, and they only do it to escape predators or get back to water quickly. By the time they're large enough to be a threat they've also lost the ability to run, the fastest they move on land is a slow plodding. But in ancient times, there were crocodilomorphs that evolved to be land-based pursuit hunters like wolves.

The Grand Canyon West Rim is the closest rim to Las Vegas. It is located about 130 miles from the heart of Las Vegas. On average, the drive takes approximately two and a half hours. Both the North Rim and South Rim are located over 270 miles from the Las Vegas Strip. As per Google. You need to check out Hoover Dam also. Right by Vegas

You're in luck. You can easily get Grand Canyon day trip tour packages from Vegas. It's a 4 hour bus ride.

Black bears are probably found in other countries, but I came across more than I care to remember. from cubs running past my kitchen door (they're adorable btw) to papa bears, and mama bears and cubs. I was rather surprised at how fast they can run. Closest I came to a bear was when I was stupid enough not to look outside before I went out. got to around 20 or so feet distance before noticing one sitting on a boulder looking at me. All I could think was, what's the safest way to get away from him in 1 piece, and couldn't come up with a single idea, so I just backed up slowly while looking at him. Once I was out of his line of sight I then ran in the house.

The Grand Canyon, West Rim is about 150 miles from Las Vegas. You can also take helicopter tours of the Canyon out of Las Vegas.

Alligators can run very fast, but they don’t have the endurance, so it is possible to outrun them. If you are with a slower friend, then you have nothing to worry about. 🐊😂🤣😂 My brother is heading out to the Grand Canyon on vacation tomorrow! I have been and it’s unbelievable and NO pictures do it justice. We drove there from Vegas, totally a viable day trip. 😎

10:31 do *not* eat bats no matter how reminiscent of bacon they seem 😂

"TERRIFYING ANIMALS" Proceed to show a chipmunks..........i am petrified

It's the "this guy does NOT miss out on chest day" grouse comment for me 😂😂😂💀

I personally love the cowboy outfit 🤠 you wear it well my friend. Thank you for making me laugh during this reaction. I had a horrible day at work today and I knew I could count on you to get me out of my bad mood! 😂

When you called the Condor Voldemort I laughed so hard.

aww, garter snakes are sweet though (as sweet as a snake can get, at least). they aren't fiesty like ratsnakes. my dad almost hit one with the lawn mower and i was just chilling with it on my arm for a while. when my dad took it to put it back, though, it immediately peed on him lol. it they like to swim and hunt fish and can hold their breath for up to 20 minutes

The Grand Canyon isn't very close to Las Vegas. It's about a 4 hour drive to Grand Canyon Village. A 3.5 hour drive to the Western Grand Canyon. The Canyon is huge but what you're likely looking for is the Grand Canyon that everyone thinks about in pics & movies is about 280 miles away from the Las Vegas. Enjoy your stay in the States!

2:48 Garter Snakes eat other snakes, and they don't have fangs. Fun Fact: Garter snakes give live birth, meaning they don't lay eggs. The babies, dozens, just come out in a goo sack that they then wiggle out of. 14:24 25 miles per hour bursts/sprints. Faster coming out of water. Ask me how I know.

The gators can run pretty fast on land, though not for great distances. They generally don't mess with people but with a face like that you know they can be cranky. Always best to watch them from a little farther off.

Yes, the Grand Canyon is very close to Las Vegas. You can actually book a Maverick helicopter ride from Vegas into the canyon.

The Grand Canyon is about 280 miles from Las Vegas. So, close to four and a half hours. Vegas is great!! So much to do.

As someone already mentioned, Las Vegas is actually quite close to the Grand Canyon. A day trip is totally doable though you won't be able to see that much. And alligators are fairly fast sprinters on land, about 11 miles per hour for short distances. They can't keep it up for long distances and they're more of an ambush predator, snagging mammals that get too close to the water, but I'm betting that most, if not all of those deaths by gators happened in the water.

I'm here just for this cowboy fit.

Alligators are not only fast in water, but also on land. A child was killed by an alligator at Disney World several years ago. The parents from out of state didn't understand in Florida No Swimming signs meant not to get near the water. They allowed their child to wade in the water and tragedy struck. Disney World has regular crews constantly removing alligators from the theme park (alligators are a protected species). Actually, any canal or pond is a likely site for alligators in Florida. Disney World has made more explicit signs to keep people away from water that has alligators since the tragedy. Floridians are wary of canals and ponds where the critters might lurk. However, the presence of alligators is not a major concern unless there is a tragedy. They are simply a fact of life like other potential dangers like traffic or driving too fast. They are something just to be aware of. Golfers in Florida often see alligators on the golf courses. Golfers generally avoid them and treat them as another obstacle on the course.

The Grand Canyon is 252 miles or 4 hour and 14 minute drive from Las Vegas. Which in America is just around the corner. It is very beautiful. If you have the time you should go. I’ve been there. It’s unbelievable.

Alligator sprint speeds can get above 30 mph, but since they are cold-blooded that’s only for very short bursts.

I appreciate the “American” costume and settling the mood. Very funny

Two of the mountain lions live 25 miles from here. I live in Oklahoma. I have three roaming packs of coyotes, hawks, eagles, vultures, rabbits, mice, rats, squirrels, snow geese, owls, eight deer, two cranes, seven types of snakes, over thirty smaller birds identified, more than I have identified, skunks, opossums, beavers all live or visit frequently visit my seven acres. I even had two large pigs stop by, and a large goat twice come say high. Withing two miles there are also horses, llamas,cows, lots of dogs, cats, and chickens.

My sister lived in the town of Sook, BC. They would get mountain lion alerts to keep your pets indoors.

If chipmunks scare you, you may want to consider sticking to high rise buildings when you visit the US. I’ve seen one cougar in the wild, crossing a highway in front of me. It looked concerned. I live in a city of 100,000 +/-, and a couple of years ago there was a black bear roaming on my street. It looked lost.

Here in Galveston TX we have red wolfs

I'm an Arizona native so I definitely recommend the Grand Canyon. I don't recommend a helicopter tour or the Sky Walk just because I'm petrified of heights. I think seeing the canyon from some feet away is plenty 😂 Just don't goof off if you're around the edge!

Gators are faster than you think, they just can’t run for long. They’re sprinters. They mostly just hide in the water and wait till you get too close to run away.

The Grand Canyon is extremely close to Las Vegas!!!

I'm watching from Billings,Montana. Your show is awesome.😊❤

Didn’t go to the Canyon when I was in Vegas but the Hoover Dam tour was great.

Gators are quite fast on land they can hit speeds of 35 mph. But they can’t maintain that speed for very long. Love the videos.

You can drive to the Grand Canyon from Vegas!!! We use to do it all the time! Its about a 2 hour drive!

FYI, Adam; the Grand Canyon is about a 4 hour drive from Vegas. [250 miles = 445 km]

Yes, the Grand Canyon is relatively close to Las Vegas; its about 130 miles/210 km from Vegas. Rent a gigantic Cadillac and drive to the Grand Canyon.

This needs and update. Now they have found a hybrid of a wolf and a coyote, AKA the Coywolf, and they are BIGGER than your normal size coyote. And worse off, they do not back down or run away. They just watch you.

Las Vegas is approximately 250-300 miles from the Grand Canyon depending on where exactly you're starting and what part of the Grand Canyon you want to go to.

Heck yeah, spend a day away from the casinos! It is about 4 and a half hour drive from Las Vegas to Grand Canyon village along the south rim of the canyon. If you are short on time, you can visit Grand Canyon West, 2 and a half hours from Vegas. Also in less than an hour I highly recommend Valley of Fire State Park, Red Rock Canyon and Sloan Canyon National Conservation area. Oh, and what the hell, I might as well subscribe to your channel too. I've been enjoying the vlogs.

I’ve never heard of a Florida panther being referred to as a mountain lion. Where I’m from the mountain lion is the cougar

Part of this video is a little misleading. When discussing the Florida Panther, it states that it is also known as a mountain lion, puma or catamount. ALL of the species of mountain lions are known as panthers, mountain lions, pumas and catamounts. Most of those species are plentiful throughout the US, as well as throughout North America and South America. It is only the subspecies known as the "Florida" Panther that is native only to the US and on the endangerd list (some others are considered near-threatened or threatened, but not endangered). Also, Las Vegas is pretty close to the West Rim of the Grand Canyon. A lot of Vegas tourists make a day trip to the canyon. I believe the famous "Skywalk" (a glass bridge with a thick glass see-through floor that extends out over the canyon) is at the West Rim. Most of the photos you'll find of the canyon online are from the North and South Rims in Arizona.

Yes, the Grand Canyon is fairly close to Las Vegas.
