British Guy Reacting to The 10 Most Dangerous Tourist Destinations in the United States

[@ashlieneevel9671]

I'm from Florida and you can see sharks in the water in waist deep water. Also if you can't swim stay out of the ocean. It's really easy to get accidentally pulled out and under by the current in the ocean. Just go to the pool.

We have tiger sharks in knee deep water so if you are going in the water in FL expect there to be sharks nearby, even if you can't see them. Shark bite capital of the world here but that is again just bites. Most people don't die or suffer extreme bites. We got a lot of small sharks since Australia put up great white nets. On a clear day if you go up a lighthouse you can see the shark shadows on the beaches all around the swimmers.

Historically the only critters in the everglades you had to worry about (besides the Florida Panther which is Very rare and occasionally a black bear which usually run away from Humans), were big Gators, and from EXPERIENCE I can say all you need is a good stout Louisville slugger with a Whump on the snout will discourage the most aggressive Gator. Now days though you have to worry about Burmese Pythons, but I don't recall anyone having been ate by one. Feral Pigs have become a problem now also, but make good fodder for the Pythons, a full Python is a reasonably safe one.

[@Puddlemuck14]

Alligators look scary but really, they're not that aggressive like crocs. Living in Florida it's common to see people swimming in the water with them. At a respectable distance of course. Majority of the animals here stay away from humans. Usually the attacks are from the ones that humans stupidly started to feed. Or they attack a small child or dog. Or you're messing with them. Keep your distance and you'll be fine. Goes for majority of the animals. Most deaths there are usually vehicle related or drowning.

Alligators are surprisingly not in the top 10 most dangerous animals in the US list so I figured they wouldn't be here.

Soo in New Smyrna Beach it's smack dab in a black tip shark's migration area and they look to spend a LOT of time near the shore (within 10 m I'd guess) so yes in that case they are not far out at all. When I last went to Florida my parents and I went to that beach, the weather was bad so I didn't bother swimming but my parents wanted to. The lifeguard had been bitten by a shark himself and had a bandage on his leg. My parents decided to not go for a swim that day

Lake mead is an artificial lake created by the Hoover dam. It used to be a rock canyon see where the rock turns white that is actually a water line of where the water was in years past. Hoover dam was featured in the game fallout new Vegas as the final battle spot. The battle was created because it provided enough power across Nevada. Hoover dam is one big hydro electric engine that the concrete hasn’t fully dried on yet and it won’t until the end of time practically.

[@cabbagenathan7757]

New Smyrna beach is my local surf spot and while there are allot of sharks, the vast majority of the bites happen near the inlet. Although there are allot of bites the vast majority are very minor and you don’t even have to go to the hospital. The sharks are usually small and just mistake you’re hand or foot for a baitfish.

[@jrottendevil]

also they usually bite once and let go once they realize you're not what they're looking for. i grew up going to NSB every weekend. never got bit but i did get stung by a stingray once. and i've swam with dolphins countless times. sadly it's not the hidden gem it used to be when i was a kid in the 90's.

[@newgrl]

15:19 - The water depth for a typical shark bite is generally between 6 and 20 feet (2 - 6 meters), but most attacks are on swimmers at the surface, or the uppermost 5 feet (1.5 meters) of water.

[@captaincaveman8532]

The most common shark attacks are by tiger and bull sharks, both of which can be found in shallow water.

[@ShootYourRadio]

Bull Sharks even more so, because they can go up freshwater river.

@@ShootYourRadio Yeah they have been spotted through the river systems as far North as Lake Erie.

[@PrettyDeadThings]

You can be attacked by some species of shark in water that comes up to your knees or mid-calf depending on the size of the shark. A lot of the attacks in Florida come from shallow water and the shark responsible most of the time is the Blacktip Reef Shark which is a pretty timid species, however, they're curious and it's that curiosity that brings them in close to people... they don't have hands, so they use their mouth to find out if you are edible and most people who die from the attack don't die because they're torn apart, but from a singular bite that hits an artery and as a result die of blood loss.

[@nora_boraa2876]

Sharks can get into very shallow waters. Some even accidentally beach themselves.

[@ThatShyGuyMatt]

Here are some fun facts about sharks. 1. There are sand sharks that essentially can go up to almost where the water touches the sand (the shallows essentially). Mind you they are very small. So you technically should watch where you step. But from what I recall, they have never bitten anyone since they are skittish (afraid) of us. 2. Sharks get a bad reputation for being dangerous and killers, but it's not really the case. Almost all attacks on humans are only done so because the human looked like a sharks normal prey. For example if your paddling out into the water on a surfboard, from the sharks view below you, you look like a big sea lion or things like that. So it goes to bite you thinking it's what you are. But they let go when they realize it's not their prey. Hence you usually only get bit once. If they really hunted humans, they would eat us all, not just take a bite. Granted an accidental bite is still bad news for us of course. 3. Sharks tend to be sensitive in their gills, nose and eyes. If you see an attack coming, best to aim for those areas and try to get the shark to flee. Again though, unlike in movies, you usually don't see the shark coming because it comes up from the bottom.

The bear attacks in Alaska are often to hunters. Bears have learned that when they hear the rifle shot it means a food kill and they come running. Experienced hunters use the buddy system, one to get their kill and one to keep a look out and protect their friend from hungry bears.

[@lowkeybuckley]

sometimes bears will run around my town, it’s very rare but it happens. when that happens and if it’s near the schools, the school has to go into a shelter in place which means we are not allowed to go outside. it’s happened twice in the times i’ve been in my school.

[@stormangelus6638]

To answer your question about New Smyrna Beach and sharks, yes, they do come up that close -- during migration and mating seasons. It's not hard: Stay out of the water during migrations and mating seasons and you'll be fine. But sharks have been known to come up in just 2 feet of water, so you have to keep your eyes open and be aware of your environment. Also, swim when it's cooler -- they dislike cooler waters, although some rogues will show up on occasion, they tend to prefer warmer waters when the fish food sources are plentiful.

[@kirara2516]

Not sure what's more terrifying to run into in Alaska. A grizzly or a Moose.

[@PrettyDeadThings]

A Moose for sure! With a bear you stand a chance if you make yourself big, hold your ground and scream at them... a moose will look at you with the least amount of f*cks and then make your day all kinds of bad.

Moose kill more humans than any other animal in the US. 100% I would rather take my chances with a grizzly.

Oh man a moose for sure, both would definitely be terrifying to run into but at least with a bear you have a chance of intimidating them and getting away!

Black bears were just spotted making inroads into recolonizing Indiana this week. Blond bears are a new thing, mostly in Alaska and Canada, where grizzlies and polar bears are spending more time together as the pack ice takes longer to form each year, and hybrids are born with peculiar, unpredictable habits. There was a viral video of a teenage girl slamming into a black bear recently, pushing it off her garden wall to protect her dogs. Fyi, most shark attacks, the massive share of them, happen in less than six feet of water. People are often mistaken for seals, sea lions, and giant turtles, especially in dawn and dusk light. As well, because many shark stocks have been over fished, many niches in the ocean previously held by sharks are adapting to squid taking the top predator spot instead. For instance, you cannot safely go swimming in the Gulf of California any longer, or so I've heard, because the booming numbers of Humboldt Squid make it a death trap in many places, especially at night. I'd think moose would have made the list for Yellowstone, second most dangerous animal in the world, after hippos (and not counting mosquitos).

It's the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (not park). The roads in the area are fine. Most of the trails are fine. The single track stuff facing the bay or the Pacific can be a sketchy (especially if you use one made by bicyclists or that has been marked as closed).

[@yugioht42]

Sometimes all you see of sharks is a slight shadow in the water and people can’t tell the difference at all. We have a healthy shark fishing system in Florida especially around new symerna. We keep only one shark not bull, nurse or certain species but smaller stuff that we can actually eat. It takes a while to get the shark even ready to become food as you have to rinse every part with salt water, boil it for hours, or dry it for shark fin soup which we must use the entire animal not throwing it back after getting the fins. Yeah it’s takes a long time but it is good once you eat it once.

[@ASMRyouVEGANyet]

Fishing industry is not sustainable. It's a complete disaster. Stop trying to justify killing just because you like the taste or it reminds you of some dying profession. There is no excuse for animal abuse. Imagine if someone traded out sharks for dogs and cats in that sentence....

My college was on a decently sized chunk of woods (nickname was “the university in the forest,” and our mascot was a “ranger”), but also less than a 15 minute walk from town and with residential streets on other sides of campus, so hardly in the middle of nowhere. Anyway, we would get campus-wide emails at LEAST once or twice a school year about bears being spotted in nearby neighborhoods, and reminding us what to do if you meet a black beat lol. Actual attacks are fairly rare, but sightings are super common in a lot of places, especially ones where there used to be lots of wilderness that was demolished. Can you imagine getting up after hibernating and your forest is now just a couple trees? No habitat for the animals you used to hunt, your water sources likely drained or covered up, and weird hairless things walking around on two legs everywhere?

I was wading in about 12" of water & a 5-6 foot shark came swimming by exactly where I was after I backed out of the water. Depends on where you are as to what type shark will likely bite you .. but in open oceans (not usually the Gulf) the most bites have been made by the Great White. Then you have Bull, Black Tip & Tiger shark bites. Of course the oceans/Gulf/bays are the sharks homes .. we are the visitors. Expect sharks to be there!! Btw: you have all these boat excursions now where they take u deep sea fishing. The crews usually "chum" the water to lure the fish in. Where there's all these great fish to catch .. there's shark not far behind hunting them. Plus the chum is free food to a lot of fish. So many large fish follow boats .. think about how dolphins swim beside boats. I think it's possible the large fish get used to food from boats .. they follow boats .. brings them closer to people more often .. then more people get bit eventually. Another example of where humans are messing up the eco system. Just my thoughts on it anyway.

Hey British Guy! I'm a Floridian and Sharks are likely to be ANYWHERE in the water. Sometimes they will be out in the deep, but a lot of their prey hang out in the shallows. There are videos on KZbin where you can actually see from a helicopter point of view and drone point of view over the ocean just how close sharks get to people. Scary as hell. Me and my guy were swimming in Ormond Beach when something touched his leg. He reached down and pulled out a dead hammerhead shark baby. While he was pondering the significance of his catch, I was swimming to get out of the water asap. The baby hammerhead may not be a problem but the mommy who gave birth to him may still be in the area. Needless to say, many people still flock to beaches to swim and play. I guess if there are 200 people in the water, you are less likely to be the one the shark picks to eat. FYI-shark attacks are more prevalent in the early morning and evening hours. They are attracted to splashing and wet suits as the black suits look like seals to the optically challenged fish. Most hotels here have nice size pools. Cool, refreshing and no sharks. Love your channel.

National Parks are safe if you stay with the guides and follow the rules. Niagara Falls is one of the most beautiful sites you will see and hear Roaring! The Grand Canyon - what can be said. Even when you fly over it the pilot will point it out and you can look at it for hours. Follow the rules of all National Parks and you will be safe.

Death valley gotta be up there.

I'm Orlando New Smyrna Beach is not far from here. It for sure is dangerous. Us locals don't usually go there because it's just a true shark hot spot.

[@devinlichte4868]

I’m in Florida for my 21st birthday right now and this doesn’t make me want to go swimming at the beach haha. But great video, you deserve allot more views man

[@haseulibae7083]

Sharks do come that close, however you'd be surprised that it's not usually Great Whites who attack. Tigers, Bulls, and Hammerheads are way more aggressive and tend to be the culprits in most unprovoked shark attacks you hear about!

[@jamiegossett]

Yellowstone has mountain lions too. or at least they do in Far Cry 5 which is set in Montana which has some of the same type of dangerous animals and land features. at least in the game. oh, and wolverines.

[@drewpamon]

Honestly action park sounds like a lot of fun.

[@RESET1776]

I’ve seen sharks swimming inside the breaking waves. But, you’ve gotta remove the idea that all sharks are of man eater size for an attack to be recorded.

[@CalUsviFl]

I was in New Smyrna Beach last week and saw a baby lemon shark swimming in waste deep water a couple feet from me.

[@fishead3448]

I moved from vegas in the February of 2020 Ive been to lake mead about 3 or 5 times

[@timglennon6814]

Sharks have started coming close to the shore because are seas are over fished, so they are coming closer to shore to get the fish that used humans don’t eat, and if you’re swimmer or a surfer the shake will come for you thinking you are food.

[@christopherbaldwin2005]

Those scary animal's are the reason most people in Alaska carry large caliber handgun's or shotgun's with slug's!

[@s.parkerthorfinn505]

You don’t have to be very far out at all to get bit by a shark. I know someone who got bit by bull shark while fishing in knee deep water

[@renkazakiewich427]

Yeah, I see a bear commonly a few times a year. Welcome to Vermont lol.

[@TheLottolandus]

As a person who drowned twice as a child, learn how to swim as soon as you can. It may seem like a useless talent but once you learn you can relax in the water and stay afloat with very little effort. And if you gain a bunch of weight you can just use your fat to float!

[@newgrl]

5:37 - Wolves? - Ya. Yellowstone Park Rangers are tracking 8 wolf packs that live within the Park's borders, totaling (given births and deaths) about 94 wolves.

[@isabellegarza9070]

There are videos on KZbin with bears are in people's back yards. Most of them just want to use the pool.

[@armedpreacher]

Sharks absolutely come to the shore, even to attack people. Usually during high tide

[@logan439]

They don’t come to shore to attack people 😂🤡 we are not the sharks prey .. people just happen to be attacked sometimes, there not coming to shore just to attack humans

[@ASMRyouVEGANyet]

Sharks don't just attack people. God, I try to be nice but that's just such a stupid comment.

[@jeremyjdl713]

11:45 I was mountain hiking in a nice national reserve in Mexico years ago and I heard a bear. A little while later I caught a glimpse of it. It was a medium sized black bear. I almost shit myself. Can’t imagine coming face to face with a giant grizzly. I also saw tarantulas and black squirrels, so a pretty cool hike thinking back.

[@wickednwyld]

I had a black bear steal my backpack while on a camping trip. I had forgotten that I previously had a melted chocolate bar in it, and it apparently still smelled like chocolate enough for the bear. When I got it back, it smelled like bear spit 🤮

[@Bob-jm8kl]

The Golden Gate Bridge is the #2 suicide spot in the world. You won't drown...because the impact of hitting the water will be like hitting concrete.

[@MattManProductions]

Sharks are curious, so they come up as close as they can. Over years of humans going to the beach, sharks have learned that humans equal things such as possible food. Not that they see us as food, but they know we through things in the water. And if you swim and have a cut that is open , that can spark the sharks feeding instincts

[@Charsept]

11:38 When I grew up in Idaho as a kid, this literally did pop up in my backyard. If my dogs didn't chase it off (luckily bears are afraid of packs of dogs) Idk what would have happened to me.

[@kelligray1848]

Sharks and even killer whales will swim almost all the way to the actual beach.
