5 ULTRA RARE Animals In The UK!

[@nationalexotics2518]

Another great video. Was great meeting you cookie and can’t wait to do more with you in the future!

[@myboulderingjourney9375]

Skunks in ash down forest in East Sussex and there’s a lake in Southwater, West Sussex that has an alligator snapping turtle in it that’s gotta be at least 30kg, about the size of a car tyre. There’s a population of melanistic and albino roe deer down here in West Sussex too among other things that will leave you puzzled.

[@rahjah6958]

I’ve heard of couple and seen a video of a snapping in uk, must be a decent amount of them here if they are found that frequently

[@sarahstrong7174]

There are some big African spiders with big green fangs that live in the walls of Exeter Cathedral & have spread. I had two living in my house one winter. I also saw a crane on the river Dart at Totnes. They look like they are wearing a bustle. Apparently there is a breeding population in Somerset.

[@baldieman64]

Aesculapian snakes, Midwife Toads, European Scorpions, Coatis in Cumbria, Red-necked wallabies, Wild goats in Wales. We have lots of oddities that shouldn't be here.

[@marksmith7096]

And I ain't seen none of them!

[@davepreece2294]

Mmmmm that is all I have to say about this entity. ......

[@waynehiggs7335]

If possible, try to find the lesser spotted truthful Tory. Extremely rare

[@adrianwatts4908]

Impossible quest

[@howey935]

They’re a myth and don’t exist and never have.

[@AsadAli-jc5tg]

What about the British Leopard? And why the government and media is in the state of denial regarding its existence when it is commonly spotted??

[@richardikin]

There's muntjac around Kingsbury Water Park in the Midlands.

[@dblyth5098]

There is Footage out there, of one in the Digbeth area of Birmingham City Centre.

[@joewood791]

If you ever wanted to do a video (or just a walk) with Red Squirrels there's a population in Formby that are quite easy to spot, they aren't shy there like

[@donkeysaurusrex7881]

Cookie, I don’t know if game cameras are legal in the UK, but if they are have you ever considered getting one. Could definitely help you determine what mammals are active in a location.

[@d_vinci.]

Black squirrels near the Woburn area. I lived in near Houghton Regis and there was a few around the area I regularly saw . Apparently they escaped a private collection at the zoo

[@MaxxWatt]

Just subscribed. Really enjoy your vids man with an element of humor. Now go get that Tassie tiger!!!

[@ry_jayy]

I wanted to see a muntjac in the wild for years, ever since I was a kid. I lived on the edge of the New Forest national park, and would spend hours going for walks in the woods looking for wildlife. Never saw a muntjac. Then one day about 6 years ago there was a knock at the door and it was an Amazon parcel being delivered, and as I stood on my own doorstep signing for a parcel, I saw movement out the corner of my eye and looked up to see a muntjac just casually strolling along the edge of the woods at the end of the cul-de-sac I lived in. Mad but magic moment for me that I'll never forget.

[@Rudyn_nature]

Nice video good luck for the 5 ultra rare animals. Also try European pond turtle, green lizard, great bustard, eagle-owl, common crane also may some exotick pheasants like the golden,green, reeves if you have chance, time or mood.

[@olafguzdiol8606]

Sumpfschildköten sind in Deutschland fast ausgestorben aber Eidesen und blindschleichen gibt es viele in Deutschland und sogar Schlangen und man sieht auch durchaus graue und weisse Reiher weiße Storche Kraniche und Uhus

[@funnerthanbefore4947]

Woo hoo more vids!!!

[@forton615]

Storks are majestic, here in Flanders, Belgium they are spreading over the whole region. It's a matter of providing good nesting opportunities like platforms on poles and rooftops,

[@andrewbeaton2102]

Orcas and Baskin sharks along with hammer head sharks can be found off the west coast of Scotland. Orcas are regularly seem between troon and greenock harbour. Far side of the Isle of Arran and the Isle of Craig hammer heads and baskins can be spotted. Regular dolphines and seals As well off this side of the coast

[@andrewbeaton2102]

Also way way way up north there is breeding sea eagles

[@the_gaming_hyena24]

Absolutely love Tanukis…they’re just such fascinating animals!

[@branchsnapper2228]

Man that thylacine bit had me rolling

[@AsadAli-jc5tg]

Yeah these guys tout for Tasmanian Jackals and ignore the British Leopard 🤔 There's a lot of dirty politics going around the recognition of a native Big Cat in Britain. It's there and regularly spotted but government and media is in a state of absolute denial 🤔

[@PaletteBegonia]

You don’t like the big cat theory 😉 However, they did just find hard evidence there’s something here.. I can’t remember where it was that reported the recent incident ( it attacked livestock) But they did recover fur off a Barb fence that reportedly came back as a 99% match from a lab🤷🏽‍♂️

[@aiferapple1246]

Caldey Island here near Tenby have red squirrels. Also there's the Green Parrots that live in London

[@MuertaRara]

omg the Thylacine part 🤣

[@J_shakey.3006]

@Cookie i live in the village that is next to one of the largest populations of stick insects, its in South Devon and is absolutely incredible for other wildlife, but there is some stick insects

[@benbednall1930]

You can find red squirrels on the Isle of Wight too, I believe they don't have any greys there at all aswell as the white tailed Eagle have been released there too

[@dave20thmay]

I took a video of what looked at first glance like a grey squirrel, but it did not stop whatever it was doing, while at the KopHill Climb, which is near Princess Risborough. I have the video on YT if anyone wants to see one foraging in a tree. Best Dave

[@howey935]

Jay’s are my favourite British bird. My aunts house has a load of woodland out the back and she has a Jay visit her garden in the winter to eat the fat balls she puts out for the birds.

[@TheGrannyNut]

Dormice actually arrived with the Romans and can be found in Kent, along with Wallabies and a few other oddities.

[@danglyballs]

I really want to film the small population of coati in the Lake District. If you’re after muntjac deer and you’re in Woburn, pop into the centre parcs. There’s dozens there and they’re really tame.

[@howey935]

The Netherlands have storks, I used to live there and would occasionally see them and their huge nests.

[@1evertonfc100]

Put out a perch for the kingfisher and give it a bit and i bet if theres a kingfisher on the lake it will land on it.

[@russellwinchester8490]

You can see red squirrel 🐿️ on the Isle of Wight and on brownsea Island in Poole harbour Dorset 🐿️😉👍

[@andrewbaron8713]

Cookie, you needs to buy some HECS clothing, Forrest swears by them.

[@JosephMcEwan]

grey squirrels are very common in Scotland

[@historyisfake9153]

isle of wight theres hundreds of red squirrels everywhere. impossible not to see them.I find greys more intersting due to it. x

[@Dragnoone]

I've seen muntjacs near Combe Martin. I also saw red squirrels and albatross

[@bevanflyfishnz665]

Hey Cookie. Luv the channel. I'm from NZ and stick insects are getting harder to find here these days. I remember as a kid they were real common but what I've seen the European wasp is hammering them so bad that it's hard to even find one to show the kids.. cheers

[@harryhull8438]

There are also pelicans in London st James’s park and snapping turtles around in ponds

[@tomc6003]

Chinese water deer are not rare, far from it, I would say very common if you go to the right place. I know places where you can see many together on the same field. They also taste great.

[@Harrissssonn]

You literally answered your own question 😂😂 if it’s rare then it’s only found in some places, it’s not like they are everywhere is it, so they are rare

[@tomc6003]

​@@Harrissssonnno I didn't and your logic or lack of it is staggering. All animals are found in some areas, how does this make them rare?! Just because you see an animal in one area and not in another area doesn't make them rare.

[@ericg5791]

There were Edible Dormice living wild in the outhouses at tiny little Hanwell Zoo in west London, a year ago. Might be still there.?

[@rialobran]

If you're coming to Cornwall to see stick insects, you have a very good chance of filming a basking shark in the summer.

[@jacobrheams]

hopefully get to come on some of these trips haha, sick video tho bro

[@petereason4572]

I've got an elusive one for you to find...dogman ..cannock chase...delamere forest....by the way I love your videos :) keep up the amazing work

[@michaelwilson6858]

I do the same stuff as you, just no camera lol. Love the video

[@GibbonLord]

If u ever want to go on a cheap holiday, go to Lelystad in the Netherlands. Lots of otters, sea eagles, beavers, kingfishers and storks right when you ride into town. There is a free nature park where they breed lots of animals for rewilding Europe. Where they have boars, European moose, captive otters, Patrick David deer (not European) and more. Also lots of forrest and a famous park called oostvaardersplassen.

[@dizzyjessd]

Woooooow I took that beast watch uk photo :) it was lovely meet you all, can’t wait to see what happens with our KZbin channel

[@davesherrell447]

There's plenty of muntjac deer where I live. and Roedeer. When I was a kid there was Roedeer in the fields and Woods Only. now the muntjac outnumber the Roedeer. My guess is they travel along the motorways. Where I live now is just across the other side of the motorway from where I used to live about a mile. The Fields across the road from me I often see both species of deer. But what I miss most is no skylarks singing any more. That field across the road from me hasn't changed in 60 years. Where are all the Birds

[@strawberryatheist2114]

Have muntjack here outside of Peterborough see them often walking the dog first time i saw one i thought it was a runaway dog they are very fast and vanish as fast as they appear

[@areyawoody5436]

This was peaceful

[@rickh3714]

The NZ Black Robin though? Saved from extinction for now, despite exceptionally limited genetic variety.

[@WildlifeWithCookie]

Cute as

[@rickh3714]

@@WildlifeWithCookie The late Don Merton was the hero of that one, along with the black Robin Old Blue. When I was a very young kid in England in the 60s I saw a red squirrel up close about 18 inches away through the branches. I think the location was the' New Forest'(?), I'd have to say it was as beautiful a mammal as I have ever seen . Very bright russet red with tufty ears! Seeing a large Southern Right whale up close from a wharf and a pod of 17 Orcas in NZ, are the other super memorable wild animal encounters I've had. I wish I had been able to record them.

[@mjkhan9664]

What if you could capture a side by side of a muntjac and a Chinese water deer, or at least find them both in a single trip. I think it would be a nice comparison to show

[@DunkinBiscuits]

Great video dude. Correct me if im wrong but I thought gray squirrels wiped out the red ones not because of disease but because they have stomachs that can cope with unripe acorns and what happened was the red ones basically starved due to the gray ones eating everything before it was ripe? Really interesting to hear we have stck insects and and racoon dogs, have you looked into Britain having skunks living here now? Would be amazing if you could manage to video one. Im positive me and my friend saw one when we was younger, we recently looked it up online and turns out we've had skunks living in the uk since the 80s or 90s which pretty much confirmed for us that we really did see one all those years ago

[@MrHewes44]

I went down to centre parcs whinfell forest it’s pretty near Lake District, I saw 12 red squirrels!

[@leewilliams8661]

If your looking for Chinese water deer, strumpshaw fen just outside Norwich, Norfolk me and my wife came face to face with one walking down the trail then it obviously bolted.

[@shapumawildcat]

Trying to film a muntjak deer is as hard as trying to film a big cat lol, You know they are there but cant see one when youve got your camera ready ,,, Epic vid, though, Cheers Cookie xx

[@basedmonke3385]

I'm tired of the big cat bs why does every "footage" have to be recorded by someone using some shitty android phone. Like seriously I don't get it it's not that hard to capture it especially with good quality. There's still yet to see clear footage of them here. I'll believe it when I see it.

[@samrandles5396]

or a Thylacine....

[@marcuscoquer5958]

There are loads in West Norfolk. I used to commute from Hunstanton to King's Lynn. A day not seeing a Muntjac was unusual.

[@marcuscoquer5958]

I had never heard of a Tanuki, but I think that explains the odd badger I saw years ago. I was driving across South Wales at the time. Cannot remember what county I saw it. Around mid 2000's. I now want a Tanuki...

[@dblyth5098]

Stick Insects - South Devon Coast Glis glis - Wooded parts of the Chilterns (apparently NOT South of the M40)(Man made barrier)

[@aaronjordan8789]

First time I've watched your video very good 👍. Muntjac are plentiful where I am actually there considered a pest for some reason 🇬🇧

[@tophodonthetrowel4730]

Good video bro shame you couldn't get the muntjac maybe next time

[@connoroleary591]

Stick insects were once popular as pets, when their owners grew tired of them, they released them into the wild.

[@Neenie1976]

Tring is only half an hour away from me! I’ll have to go and see if I can find one😊. Where I live you’ve only got to walk 5 mins and you will see muntjac everywhere. I used to work at a night club that bordered on to a forest and I’d come out of work and you’d see them milling around lol. I think they got used to seeing ppl as they weren’t as skittish as I think they’re meant to be.

[@lapwingfilms]

Yeah there's always those bird hides that exaggerate what you see XD

[@holliegriffiths3435]

On the Isle of Wight you can see a lot of the red squirrel population and there are no red squirrels

A few groups of red squirrel on Anglesey, Nant y Pandey, you can get very close. A local guy feeds them so very tame.

[@markflower3934]

With only got red squirrels on the Isle of Wight. Probably the best and easiest place to see them in the UK, I see almost daily .

[@davemonday5381]

What’s a mud jacks I’ve never heard of one does it look like a gorilla or maybe a camel. Or maybe a pug with tiger stripes. Is the Christmas grinch a mud jack. Am I going to disappointed. Maybe mud jack is another name for a Bigfoot. The allusive six legged flying bright pink sometimes invisible mud jack. There’s still red squirrels in Anglesey. Are mudjack actually real or can only you see them.

[@claremurphy189]

Hiya you don't need to go all the way to Scotland to see red squirrels. If you go to formby pine woods in Merseyside you will see a lot there .
