Great episode Mr. Ballen! I just thought I’d let you know for future reference sake that an internal medical examination of an animal is actually called a necropsy while for a human it is an autopsy. Hope that little bit of info helps. 🙂

@ThatorThisTopic 8 месяцев назад

Why necro? What does that derive from? What about auto for humans? Not trying to be a smart ass. I'm genuinely curious

@tarabradford1848 8 месяцев назад

@@ThatorThisTopic Well necropsy is derived from the Greek word “nekros” meaning dead body and “opsis” meaning sight with for autopsy come from the Greek “auto” meaning self. Not entirely sure why they prefer the distinction between the two terms for examining a dead animal versus body.

@kylenorris4068 7 месяцев назад

@tarabradford1848 simply to make sure that there is a distinction between the two so when reading an examination report the interpreters know ahead of time what they're reading about

@@tarabradford1848 When I was a veterinary assistant, I wondered about the difference. Perhaps humans were thought to have a consciousness that could "see" or somehow direct the discovery? Dead is dead. Many of us perform auto surgery for ingrown toenails. We're not dead.

When I first saw the trailer for the movie, I told my dad cause we are both horror fans, and he told me that a bear actually got high on cocaine practically surprising me cause I thought the bear would die from ingesting cocaine and my dad said that bears are big animals. So in context, I actually thought that the story was that the bear ate a bag of cocaine getting high and started attacking people until someone shot it or something without knowing the details or looking it up. I literally didn’t know that nobody was attacked by the bear and the bear actually died from the cocaine.

@thisisnotthechannelyourelo407 Год назад

Bears aren't really that noisy. Walking through a campground I turned a corner of a cabin, bumping into the rear end of a large black bear, then falling over on top of it. As there were black bears around the cabins all throughout the day, I wasn't surprised, but I was afraid that since I just basically jumped onto the back of this bear, that it would immediately turn around and maul me. I stood up and put my hands up, as if I were being mugged lol, the bear slowly turned its head to make eye-contact and when it did, it's eyes got really big, and it hesitantly waddled over behind a very skinny tree, and attempted to hide behind it, hiding it's face against the small trunk, and peeking out every few seconds, and hiding its face again when it saw I hadn't left. It was by far the cutest thing I have ever seen a wild animal do, but also seeing them rip open a large metal dumpster earlier in the day, it was really scary.

@nickibaby64 Год назад

The best part of your story is the bear trying to hide 😂😂 “if I stand real still this weird human who tripped over me won’t see me”

@SilveniumTheDrifter Год назад

Bears are indeed quiet. There was a momma and her cubs in the forest behind my place last week. They were extremely close. I didn't see or hear them until I turned on my truck, and the light reflected off of their eyes.

I think this is a great idea. But I think the profits should go to MrBallen. For a few years now he has gave us brilliant stories over all different media outlets & probably hasn't made a lot of money from this. N we need to remember he has a family.. a wife & kids. I'm sure as much as he loves doing this, he needs to provide for them too. Maybe ina few years he could look into donating the profits to charity but right now his family need to come first.

@equestriagirl8687 Год назад

I agree but i dont think he would want to keep the profits is why i suggested it. I believe he just opened his own non-profit to help victims of crime or similar. But yes i do agree he could keep it all and no one would judge he deserves it!

@@JaneDoe42011 Netflix typically let's the person write it how they want if he was going to do so. So I think it could be a bit better with even more backstory and images he would be allowed to use with the funding. He could also have people track the facts and put the same twist on it he does with his stories to make them more invigorating. He does on occasion take personal liberties to get into the story. Maybe have some of the people involved on their and ask them how to describe the situation to them. Idk.
