-Fun fact (I’m sure this dude has covered it at some point but still): elephants see humans as we would a small cute animal. Yes, you’ve heard right: elephants see us as pets.-
This can be taken 2 ways. It can imply people who make fun of Congress aren't accomplishing anything or its I playing Congress doesn't accomplish anything
The elephants who placed branches over the sleeping woman may have actually been burying her after mistaking her for dead. Elephants have been known to cover the bodies of not only their own species, but other animals they come across.
Imagine you're about to be slaughtered by some monster of the sea and in comes the lemon shark that decided it liked you to mangle whatever was trying to hurt you.
Fun true story about Elephants: Several years ago the Cincinnati Zoo had a program that would let people interact with their small herd of female Asian elephants. During one of these meet-and-greets the herd matriarch, Mai Tai, fell in love with a little boy. She proceeded to pick the boy up with her trunk, put him on her back, and take him for a ride around her enclosure before eventually returning him to his parents. The parents and Keepers were freaking out, but the little boy had a blast. He's name is Aric, and he is now grown but still remembers this incident fondly to this day and makes a point to visit the elephants every time he goes to the Zoo. I know this story because he is my brother's friend, and my next door neighbor.
I believe the reason why some humpback whales and elephants try to protect people from danger is the same reason that some people put spiders in a cup and release them outside rather than drowning them in their sink or bath tub.
@@j3ssthealien283 From my experience, turning on the tap and letting the spider get carried down the drain saves people from cleaning up the mess if they squish it
@@pforgottonsoul Pet rats who have been introduced to people early in their life (once they're safe to handle) are generally better, more social pets. Thats why breeders will raise rats and either keep them or sell them once they're old enough :)
I went to Australia when I was a kid, we visited a zoo that had a Tasmanian devil.... we witnessed the devil demanding pets and comfort from the zookeeper that was in the pen with him. Made us laugh as it was completely the opposite of the stories we had heard lol
They actually love cuddles. They also love to bite. It isn't done because they are evil - Tasmanian Devils just haven an incredible immune system overall and their regeneration rate is kinda like X-Men Comis, that in combination with their Biteforce means; they bite you, you loose a piece of meat but you can't be mad with them because they so adoreable and don't even understand why you are in pain. Although, if you're carefull you can pet them or you wear also one thick glove, then you can even play a little bit with them without loosing fingers.

Another reason to love sharks involving the Thresher: their tail and their hunting method basically makes them the Indiana Jones of the ocean but their face always looks like they’re really nervous
There's a shark called Foggy Eye who brings other sharks to a woman to have the hooks taken out of their mouths. Sharks are smarter than they're given credit for.
I've actually petted a Tasmanian Devil when I was a kid. We took a cruise from New Zealand to Australia and Hobart (in Tasmania) was one of our stops, so we visited their animal park. Interestingly, Tasmanian Devils become docile when picked up by their handlers, so we got a once in a lifetime chance to pet one. :)
Diver: *dives into the water to meet his favorite lemon shark* Lemon Shark: *is sitting on the couch* oh honey, where have you been all these days? Diver: just doing stuff at home Lemon shark: oh so you wasn't diving with that great white shark on last Thursday huh? Diver: *sweats* Lemon shark: so what's her name? Huh?
I had a Rose-haired Tarantula when I was younger. I used to take her out and hold her and she would often sit on my chest over my heart as I watched TV. She never moved once she got there. When I was holding her I could feel her toes gently pinching my fingers as she held on while I carried her. She had no weight and I loved her so much.
One time I was at a Crocodile Park and one of the workers showed us a big spider. He then asked who wanted to hold it and I volunteered. The spider got comfy in my warm hands. I wasn't scared at all.
@NOAH MAJESKE spiders in general get more crap than they deserve. They're basically exterminators with eight legs. If you see a spider in the house, place it outside gently.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE SPIDER WARNINGS!! I understand the role spiders play in our ecosystem and have nothing against them but I can’t help the violent reaction my body has when I see them. I really appreciate people who help out us with arachnophobia!!
@@evatownsend492 it’s a joke due to the all the counts and convictions of sexual assault against children from priests that was a recent news story when this video was made
Yeah, only they weren’t just “allegations” so much as “actually happened and happening for generations.” It’s just hard to sue an entire church supported by an entire society that doesn’t want to think about how people taking advantage of religious environments for literal constant institutional pedophilia is a thing.
That's why I love the subreddit r/crowbros. It's just people who are, or want to be, bros with corvids. There was one story of someone feeding crows, but they got possessive of their property and would harass neighbors that came too close. Which led to the question "What do I do if my murder attempts a murder?" Anyway, that person told the neighbors to feed the crows too, and now there is a neighborhood of elderly people that are friends with crows. Plus, one time, an elderly men fell in front of his house early in the morning and couldn't get up, and the crows made so much noise about it that the neighbors found him in time.
"They have a reputation, but I have Miralax. We'll see who really doesn't give a shit." Guys, I found who Shakespeare reincarnated into. No one else can use the language so masterfully.
As a chinchilla owner, can confirm they bark for attention (or when you’re watching Bad Girls Club and he’s tired of hearing the yelling and bleeping lol)
Ravens are so baller they have multiple sets. A group of them is either called a Rave, an Unkindness, a Treachery, or a Conspiracy. Be sure to throw the proper set up when you meet them because if you're in the wrong hood they'll let you know it.
@@dando541 lmao i just googled btw, The total male population on earth is 3.93 billion. 2.5% of 3.93 billion is 98Million. DANG 98 million guys on this earth have 8 inch pp
One the reasons why many of our Aussie Animals have the same baby names and group names like Mob (a group of Emus is also called a Mob) is probably because us Aussies like to keep things simple to call out when we have to run away from them 😉
I was lucky enough to see a viscacha when I was in Machu Picchu in 2019. He was so cute and just sat there and let me take pictures of him. Such a memorable experience.
That woman saved by a whale was called Nan Hauser I think. She hit worried cos it was pushing her and she never had this happen. But they are altruistic and it saved her from an huge tiger shark
yeah i saw her interview. she was super scared because the whale did push her around and kept her close before she realized that the whale was protecting her.
Oh? I couldn’t see cuz I wasn’t trying to have a panic attack as my brain doesn’t care his cute a spider is, if it is big, has beady eyes and 8 legs it’s a threat. Send help
The naming guy for sloths is actually Dr Rebecca Cliffe, one the the leading sloth biologists, hence why she got the right to name a group of sloths (although you’re not gonna see a snuggle of sloths outside captivity). I worked with her for a short time at a wildlife rehab center in Costa Rica. She’s a super sweet, but badass lady who taught me a lot about sloths 🦥
My pet rabbit has found out that if she thumps loud enough in the middle of the night I will get up and come check on her. Most the time, she's actually scared of a random noise, sometimes she just does it to get some head pets.
When I went to Tanzania, we visited the Ngorongoro crater to look for animals. During our drive, we asked our safari guide what animals he didn't like and he said he didn't like hyenas because he thought hyenas were ugly. Then we saw a baby one with its mother and he said "Well, maybe it is actually kind of cute." 😆
Spiders: The most Creepiest and scariest Insects that they have their own section on the Phobia list. Also spiders: Literally as important as bees. Their feet are not called claws or are claws but are cute little paws. They destroy the crop eradication insects. One of the spiders look like Lucas the spider’s Albino twin that photographers decided to make a hat out of water for him just for a photo. Seeing that photo Decimated my heartstrings so much that I will never feel depressed ever again
@@jsmrfuture7928 Thats nice. And I appreciate that. However, many people are deathly afraid of them, and some won't even be able to sleep if they see one
"A study showed that grey squirrels forget 74% of the acorns they bury causing more unaccounted for nuts than an NBA player with a latex allergy." I actually had to pause the video there. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.
@@Cottonmouth255 A group of parliamentarians is called a circus. A cluster of circuses is called a lark. And the cycle of life is complete. (These are not true but they're false, which is just as good. I heard that in a circus one time.)
Sharks are a lot gentler and kinder than they're given credit for..We aren't good food for them, they only bite to figure out what we are (they give curious nibbles! It's their best way of figuring stuff out! They also bite if territorial on occasion so beware that). Most sharks that are familiar with humans don't bite and are actually very sweet letting you hold their fins to swim with them or even letting you pet them and touch their snoots. Certain shark breeds are worse biters as they tend to bite more often whilst others are gentler just swimming around you occasionally bumping you to examine you.
That should be the next step of your zoological adventures, you going into nature "befriending" the hell out of all the critters, then running for your life... i would absolutely watch!
"A group of alligators is called a congregation. I would make a priest joke but only the kids would get it." I laughed so hard at that one... I'm a Christian, and I appreciate your humor man! xD
@@tykeandjonsieshow3595 Oh nooo, I feel bad for ruining the innocence there xD warning, it's a very dark joke!! In the corrupt corners of the catholic church, priests have long been notorious for pedophilia (particularly involving altar boys and eunuchs), and the "congregation" is the group of folks who attend a church lead by a priest.
WHY THE HELL IS THE JUMPING SPIDER WITH A DROP OF WATER ON ITS HEAD, SO CUTE Edit: ty for 100 likes!! Edit 2: JESUS TY FOR 600 LIKES!!!! Edit 3: OMG IM FAMOUS ANYONE WANT A AUTOGRAPH
when I was really little, this gas station near my family's cottage had a pet bear named Sammy. they had their own icecream shop, and Sammy had her own enclosure out back. people would often times give their cones to her after having their ice cream, and I remember her licking my hand when I gave her mine. It's one of my earliest memories, and my favorites. Unfortunately, Sammy was already quite old by then and passed during the winter that same year. Rest in peace you big goofball
And then we saw this horde... that's what they're called, right George? Lots of humans sitting of lots of horses. Next thing you know, they're everywhere! Greatest buffet! Ever!
As someone who currently has 8 tarantulas and plan to have more, your facts couldn’t make me like spiders more because I already love them. But I appreciate you trying to get more people to love them, they are amazing creatures.
As an arachnophobic man, I will say I respect them for what they do, & that they are undoubtedly really cool & interesting. But I just can't be near them. I can't. They make my skin crawl, which then feels like spiders & _it's doing it right now._
This is the comment I was looking for, I agree. I'm always saving house spiders from people who kill them on sight. Flies are nasty, spiders kill them; they pay their rent! I don't see why people think they're scary.
@Magician ★ hey honestly if you don't kill them for no reason it's fine, centipedes terrify me even tho they are as helpful a pest-killer as you could want ... But I just scoop them into a cup and take them outside. Camel spiders though I have a much harder time allowing to exist 😬 phobias are illogical by nature so you can't help it.
"They have a reputation but I have Miralax, let's see who *really* doesn't give a shit." Alright, that one fucking got me and I'm surprised nobody else has mentioned it.
