22 Dangerous Animals You Don't Want To Mess With

[@boxhead6177]

Cassowary's get a bad reputation, that was the only confirmed kill in Australian history... and the teenager was throwing rocks at a nesting Cassowary. It was self-defence.

[@fireaza]

That sounds suspiciously like something a cassowary would say...

[@theoriginalracer72]

Just came back from Kenya, hippos are the most dangerous animal there. They can run pretty fast and won't stop chasing you till they catch you.

[@bri4940]

My mom came back recently from there and got chased by a hippo on their safari! Their tour guide yelled at them to run back to the truck and they peeled out super fast! So I believe it!!

[@janejdough2230]

It is illegal to lock your car in Churchill , Manitoba as it may be needed to escape a stalking polar bear.

[@Jomaloe]

😧

[@bri4940]

As a Canadian, our Canadian geese are no joke and can get especially mean in nesting season in the spring. And they usually nest in the same spot every year. There's one by my house that nests by the door of a home depot they have to re-route pedestrians for a couple months every time 😂

When my daughter was in culinary school she did her externship in a resort in Alaska. One day an announcement came over the speakers saying, "To all employees: please avoid the west employee parking lot. An aggressive moose is wandering around!"

[@John-g6x1h]

I enjoyed the warning from the National Park Service, that you were not to spray bear repellent on yourself or your clothes. It doesn't work that way.

[@kenbrown2808]

in fact, if it is sprayed on a person, it turns into seasoning.

[@John-g6x1h]

@@kenbrown2808 LOL

[@kenbrown2808]

@@John-g6x1h it has actually been tested in the field. bears like spicy food.

Always remember that most attacks (and subsequent deaths) from wild animals can be avoided by respecting wildlife regardless of how “cute” they look.

[@Raygathex]

Except for the native people that need access to river water to survive

[@moustachemoe]

@@Raygathex Additionally, writing nonsensical replies can be avoided by actually reading and thinking about the original comment. -most doesn’t mean all -nothing about people using river water relates to not respecting wildlife -the phrase “regardless of how ‘cute’ they look” clearly implies this is directed at people who try to take pictures of or pet certain animals when they are dangerous. Let me know if you need any additional clarification.

[@ugh212]

Don't pet the fluffy cows.

[@SamSamples-999]

Well Said!

[@JKolodn3]

If she was talking about dangerous to non humans, Orcas would definitely be on the list.

[@btetschner]

Part 3 x Thinking of Cassowaries...that casque on its head reminds me of the dinosaurs Spinosaurus and Dimetrodon.

[@jesst235]

Can we get John to do another Life Hacks video? Something with fire would be interesting :)

[@XaloGunner]

14:20 I lived in Mexico for a couple of years and in the poorer parts, people would literally use geese to guard their yard and front door. They are noisy when you get close and nasty when you get even closer. No joke!

[@y_fam_goeglyd]

UK here. A friend of mine lived on a farm. They had dogs but the geese were better at guarding the home! I'm sure it's the same worldwide 😂

[@mentalflosserin]

wish i'd remembered to suggest two-toed sloths for this video-i once had a vet at a wildlife sanctuary tell me that he'd rather be bitten by a wildcat because those sloths have SERIOUS teeth!

[@tessat338]

I have two cousins on separate branches of the family who haven't been able to eat mammal for the past several years due to the meat allergy from tick bites.

[@stueymon]

My sister got a Roo stuck in the Bull Bars of her work car when she travelled Australia! And before you ask, it was dead AF. Had to pried out.

[@davidrose5632]

I always thought or heard that hippos were incredibly dangerous...

[@sarahpanther1491]

I'll never forget the time I saw a blue-ringed octopus while I was rockpooling as a teenager. The flashing blue rings sure gave me a warning!

[@btetschner]

A+ video! LOVE IT! Very eye-opening and thought-provoking facts!

[@porkybitz]

Wisely didn't mention the Drop Bear. They're listening. ... An Australian.

[@y_fam_goeglyd]

As beautiful as they are, don't argue with a swan, particularly during mating time or when there are cygnets. They _can_ break your bones! Many arms have paid the price of their "owner's" incautiousness. Or stupidity.

[@tessat338]

Geese DO want to hurt you. So do swans.

Eating Sexy Bacon while watching this video! It is cooked bacon, topped with Hershey's chocolate syrup that is mixed with basil and italian seasoning. The phrase Sexy Bacon comes from the movie The Fall Guy.

[@ellengutoskey2604]

what...crazy...i was also eating this exact thing while watching this video

[@btetschner]

@@ellengutoskey2604 You have exceptional taste, I am sure you're a trendstarter.

[@mattf9096]

Every time I think I want to visit Australia I see something telling me how many animals there can kill me lol It looks beautiful and the people seem super awesome, but mother nature is like "don't even think about it" lol

[@kenbrown2808]

Don't try to pet the fluffy cows.

[@jphilb]

Very surprised there is not an ostrich themed song by Johnny Cash!

[@Kameezy]

MMMmmm, breading season

[@jimdennis2451]

As they say, in nature, beware of anything extremely beautiful or extremely ugly.

[@competitionglen]

If Australia was as densely populated as Africa and North America, list might be different.

[@AnaleenAelwyn]

I thought Kodiak bears were the largest? 🤔

[@garethtudor836]

Three types of tick mentioned, but you left out the paralysis tick of Australia. Anyone care to hazard a guess as to how it earned it's name?

[@duncanbeach3131]

You forgot COWS.

[@jimdennis2451]

"A moose once bit my sister..."

[@Apophis324]

If Erin admits to being scared all the time as well, does that mean she is number 23 on this list of dangerous animals you don't want to mess with? :P

[@mentalwig420]

I always tell my kids to stop eating that raccoon poop

[@kenbrown2808]

when taken by number of fatalities per year, deer are the most dangerous animal in America.

[@areamusicale]

11:40 testicles? the pufferfish has testicles? 🤨

[@chesh1rek1tten]

Usually male animals of species that do have different sexes have those.

[@areamusicale]

@@chesh1rek1tten So, the pufferfish is a ball with balls? Ba dam, tzz!

[@canis2020]

I'm sorry but THE most dangerous animal is a mom who wears flip flops

[@ellengutoskey2604]

look i understand what you're saying but if a raccoon wants to hold my hand with its teeny tiny hand i'm lettin it

[@edflintlaw]

NOW we know how rfkJR got brain worms! Raccoon poop.

[@theunspoke815]

I use i instead of s for plural on all animals cuz it's funny, but I only do it around people my age (50) cuz these kids today will think it's true & copy me. And we ALL know we don't need anymore of that!! 😜😜

[@kalkididymus]

Why was the raccoon scat pixelated? That kind of spoils the whole idea of showing it. ¯\_(⊙_ʖ⊙)_/¯

KZbin seems have gotten more strict since Trump nearly got assassinated

[@Mithrandir39]

I hit a moose once. Not fun!
