Giant Centipede: the LARGEST living CENTIPEDE | Animal Fact Files

[@AnimalFactFiles]

The giant centipede we saw was on the smaller side, only about 6 inches (15cm) large, but it was still skin crawling to see! What do you think of these big bugs??

Can you plz do one on comb jellyfish.

I've been bitten a few times by giant centipedes here in Hawaii. It does hurt a lot and can make you feel sick. I've also seen them take down geckos. We have lots of big bugs here in HI but those are definitely the most feared. (by me anyway)

[@MrQwerty2524]

How common are they? Do you need to go out of your way to find them or do they just show up in your house?

[@ebal955]

@@MrQwerty2524 If you live in the warmer, lower elevation areas of the island you will find them in your home and occasionally in your bed. I used to find them in my car as well. Since moving to higher elevation (3000 ft) I have only seen one in the past 3 years.

I saw one place in Malaysia on tv years ago that had flooded and the village was completely infested by them. crawling around houses and writhing in mud Everywhere they are the villagers had to flee !

[@kingLorshi]

To me they look like many legged armor clad mini dragons and I think they look cool, but are definitely intimidating.

[@AutoCrete]

I can't believe you people have been around for 3 years and I just saw your videos for the first time today. Thank you for the style of video that you seem to be holding to, short, sweet and to the point without some hidden agenda being promoted 'between the lines'. Again, thank you for some of the best informative critter videos on KZbin. I have a feeling I'll be doing some binge watching.

[@aleah559]

Thank you for this episode! I love centipedes- they're beautiful but also intimidating.

[@indyreno2933]

Both centipedes and millipedes are myriapods, which are arthropods of the superclass Myriapoda, myriapods are classified within the subphylum Myriochelata, which also groups them with the chelicerates (superclass Chelicerata), a group consisting of the arachnids, horseshoe crabs, and sea spiders.

[@tabsntoot]

They are very prehistoric looking I can imagine huge ones millions of years ago

[@kimstachuliana4181]

so ur saying they are spiders

[@indyreno2933]

@@kimstachuliana4181, no, "spider" applies only to the arachnid order Araneae, I'm actually saying that both myriapods and chelicerates constitute the subphylum Myriochelata.

[@beautyforashes2022]

This is one of those critters where I'm just like nope, nope, nope, all kinds of nope...

[@turdferguson7686]

check out the bobbit worm next. imagine a giant centipede on the ocean floor to step on. but they can grow up to 6 feet. named after lorena bobbit. its more of a nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooope kind of nope.

[@rocketman63]

GAAAAA, horrible!!! Milli was kinda cute, though.

[@samhaines8228]

These are incredible biological machines*, but as much as they fascinate me they also make my skin crawl. I am thankful that the ones in my part of the world are just house centipedes, not much bigger than 3.5 inches. But Even these will give you a heck of pinch/pinches with their forcipules & inject some venom if you accidently sit on one or put your foot in a boot that has one in there. *It's not hard to imagine these serving as a model for militarized robots in a not-so-distant dystopian future.

[@user-ur5fz5ol8n]

I think making robot centipedes would be cool but it would be incredibly difficult and redundant to mechanize their means of locomotion. Not impossible but certainly impossible for an incredibly long time.

[@tabsntoot]

They are some the most ancient creatures on earth from beginning of time !

I ran into the giant desert centipede here in El Paso. It was hiding under a lumber pile. It was over six inches long and bigger than my middle finger. Was frightening for sure.

[@monkeknts]

Could you do a video on the olm salamander? Very interested things

[@AnimalFactFiles]

Yes they are! And we have a video for them!! Here's a link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4fQm4Jqm5KbrrM Thanks for watching!

Can you guys do an episode on the linsang? The banded one looks like its eyes are popping out of socket!

[@TheUnluckyEverydude]

In Boy Scout summer camp probably 17 or 18 years ago, a guy had to go home early cause he put on a life jacket with one in it. It pinched him all the way up his back several times. Always hated them after that.

[@AnimalFactFiles]

Oh gosh what an awful experience 😭

[@D-Fens_1632]

I had a similar experience with a life jacket but it was a giant ant of some kind. It was caught in the mesh on the inside of the jacket, bit me right on the chest between my armpit and nipple, hurt like hell. Didn't leave the water park though.

[@jesper112183]

It should be noted that how painful a wasp or bee sting is depends completely upon what species you're talking about

[@indyreno2933]

Can you do fact files on buttonquails (family Turnicidae)?

[@gk4204]

Centipedes rock! Thanks for the video.

[@glengrieve544]

I hate creepy crawlies but am fascinated watching them on KZbin

[@BlackUnitAdventureSport]

Thanks

[@DaimyoD0]

So do they have stingers on both ends? Or do you just mean they're really good at whipping around and biting you?

[@aleah559]

I think they were saying sometimes they can pinch with their rear legs, but only their front legs have venom.

[@tabsntoot]

It’s to fool prey that think they are it’s antennas and it swings rounds and bites

[@arissapiper9636]

I don’t care if they get rid of pests if they find themselves in my home. I’d rather have a thousand ladybugs than one of those😂

[@jayrob5270]

They are so revolting and scary looking. We get giant variety in my country and their strength and agressiveness are terriying let alone them being venomous as well.
