Five Surprisingly Dangerous Animals Near Your Home

[@dingodelta]

I know nothing about horses or horse behavior yet my instincts told me that Ears back and tail flick is not a good sign.

[@ettinakitten5047]

Charles Darwin noted that animals who bite as an attack and have moveable ears pretty much all put their ears back when they're contemplating violence. He figured it was an adaptation to avoid having their ears bitten off while fighting rivals.

[@melinaalba63]

I did pet horses when I was younger, that were on a field or whatever, but even as a kid/ Teenager I just waited if the horse came over and didn't get closer to it myself. You just shouldnt pet animals that are that powerful if they don't know you and don't Show any sign of Wanting you to.

I encountered a female deer one day as I walked back from my mailbox. As I turned around I was face to face with it. I stood still as she did. Its head was so big. I’m 5 feet 2 inches. That deer had to have been six feet. It towered over me. For a few seconds we just stood there. Then I moved my head and she ran away. Thank goodness because she could’ve stomped me down. It was magnificent

[@saguablub2818]

"(...) she could have stomped me down. It was magnificent." 😂😂😂 fantastic final words to an incredible encounter xD Glad that you both got out without harm, and now you have this cool story to tell^^ thanks for sharing

[@IratePuffin]

That had to be an elk. Never heard of a 6ft deer before. I once was sitting by my pool around 10pm. The lights were out so I sent my niece inside to get the pool remote. As I sat there in my chair, my little dog started barking. I told him to be quiet a couple times then thought to myself, “wait… what’s he barking at?” I stood up and turned around only to realize a doe was standing right behind me with her head over my chair. lol she’d basically been sniffing my hair.

[@suchnothing]

@@IratePuffin Could have been an elk, but it could have been a red deer as well. Those get almost as big as elk do, and if one stood with it's head held up, its eyeline would be higher than 5 ft. I used to visit the Canadian Rockies pretty regularly and you see elk all the time. They can get truly huge. One time I was stopped on the highway because a herd of elk were crossing the road, and the dominant male of the group walked right in front of my vehicle. His shoulder was higher than my station wagon, and his antlers were stunning, I had never seen one with such huge antlers. Truly in the prime of his life. I'm glad that so much of the Canadian Rockies has been sectioned into national parks so that people can't hunt and kill specimens like him, because he'd be a goner otherwise.

[@suchnothing]

@K.C-2049 that particular incident was in Jasper Park, on the highway into town. I've seen them around Canmore too though! I think the southern rockies get a lot more tourism because it's so close to Calgary, so its much busier. So the elk and sheep there are way more comfy with people. I was in Radium last summer and there was a herd of sheep just wandering all over town the whole weekend. You could just walk right by them as if they were regular townsfolk out for a stroll 😂 they paid no attention to us. You can't be quite that close to the animals in Jasper, in my experience. They get way more nervous even if you're just walking past without looking at them. Also I'm jealous you live in Canmore it's do beautiful there, and the folk festival is amazing.

[@lifesajoke6965]

Found somebody's escaped African Grey in the woods by my high school during winter in Upstate NY. A girl who had birds of her own had everyone back away and actually talked it down from the tree it was in and got it to land on her arm, and let her put it inside her hoodie to warm it up. Tried to find an owner but nobody ever tried to claim it, so one of our teachers ended up keeping it and had a cage built in her classroom. It ended being the coolest most mellow large parrot I have ever seen.

[@lina9535]

My cat brought home an adult male blackbird once. It was 100% ok and alive, not a single feather out of place. It wasn't even bleeding. No puncture wounds anywhere, just a bit of cat saliva on it. After I let it go, I scolded my cat (simple "don't do that, bad cat") and she slunk in under my bed for the next 4-5 hours before coming back out. After that she never brought in anything. She did like to sit outside and look at the birds, and just chilled with the female roedeer that used to come around with her fawns. They even cuddled under a small tree we had together one winter 😂 I do really miss that cat a lot. No joke she was my best friend. She'd insist on being a pillow each night (even nipping my neck/shoulder if I went to bed without her). She walked me part of the way to school, and was there to pick me up, no matter the weather. Snow 3-4 times her height? No problem, she'd jump between the steps other people had taken. Rainstorm? No worries, she had a strange love for water. She also seemed to know when I was sad, even before I did. She'd come out of nowhere, meowing and jumping into my lap to give hugs and kisses.

[@blackburned]

she sounds like a dog, picking you up from school n what not. sounds just like my mom’s dog. he would chase them miles, sometimes he’d run out to find my mom and wait at the door for her return. hate to say it but most cats are not that smart! they’ve only been around us for a couple thousand years, weren’t domesticated to be at our side. so naturally their emotional intelligence is usually not so sharp. i mean some dog’s aren’t either but it’s not nearly as uncommon as a cat with such extreme intellect. what a special kitty!

So the boy that was attacked by the dog and the cat body slams the dog, the cats name is Tara. The little boy is on the autism spectrum and has been said that Tara is very to be motherly towards the boy.

The reason why I say that is to make sure he is ok and the other is to make sure the dog doesn't come back

[@sophian6965]

I own a pet cornsnake. He has been handled by people since two weeks old. If he decides to bite me, the damage will be superficial. If he gets out, he might make someone scream or hurt themself out of fear. Big snakes are cool, but I think that anything bigger than 10 feet should not be a pet without some sort of permit. They are usually "chill," but when they go into "attack mode," they can be super dangerous.

[@duckprince6.6]

The issue with that python wasn't even 'attack mode', that snake was in food mode. In a very small cage, in the same room as a rat or mouse breeding rack. (That's in the background behind the woman). Realistically that snake was kept in pretty poor condition if it is constantly kept in that enclosure, judging by it's poor shed too.. The whole thing was the woman doing everything wrong. The snake was looking for food and she decided to touch it instead of move away and give it a bit to snap out of the food response or use some sort of barrier to physically block it before it could reach her. All the fear mongering around non-venomous or rear-fang venomous snakes is really unfortunate. (But yes, people like that woman really shouldn't own such big snakes. Let's leave those to professionals like the Snake Discovery folks

[@leekestner1554]

Food mode not attack mode. Even real chill snakes can mistake a hand for a rat. That is why target training is so important to do with the big snakes.

[@qa377]

@@duckprince6.6Thant's why I highly encourage tap-training or target-training any animal that has the physical ability to be dangerous when looking for food. You gotta be clear with them if there's going to be food happening or not since they don't switch out of hunting mode easily, and they're very much creatures of habit. If you only open the enclosure at feeding time, that's going to trigger a food response even if that's not what you're doing.

[@timdaley8978]

One of my favorite things about Moose is the privilege to see them in person. Because yes on a video they are big, sure. Seeing the size of a moose in person is still one of the most insane things Ive experienced in my life. They really stepped out of the Pleistocene and said “and what”

[@LiamDerWandrer]

I fully agree. I once saw a full blooded Shire horse of well above peak size and muscle mass, because the local breeders were trying to reawaken the old nordic warhorse genetics that were lost to time, and well, they made terrifying progress with that horse as an example. Big, well muscled, very intelligent, well trained and very social. A beautiful animal and truly awe inspiring to behold.

As a Canadian, I'm always amazed by how many people think moose are just big placid creatures that aren't dangerous. They are MASSIVE, way bigger than you expect them to be, and incredibly strong. Males in season (like the video shown here) or mothers with babies are the most dangerous as they will get more territorial and/or defensive. But any old moose can do a lot of damage, so give them space!

Your comments about horse curiosity. I had the privilege of working with the wonderful Tom Dorrance. One thing he would say quite regularly, "People say curiosity killed the cat, but I tell you what. It was the horse what got killed." Horse curiosity is nearly (but not quite) on a level with parrots or primates. Yeah, they do kick fast too. I trained horses for many years, and occasionally, even those of us who are experienced end up in a compromising situation. I have, on two separate occasions, been kicked by a horse when the people watching did not even see the kick happen. They were looking right at the horse at the time of the kick, and only saw a flinch. Horses are super fast, and ponies are even faster! Haha!

[@AichanKitsune]

So, for a lot of these reptile bites, including Darth Gator who bit the young woman, had what's called a feeding response. The young woman bitten by the gator spoke to Clint of Clint's Reptiles back when it happened. You can learn more there. For the python, once a snake gets that big, it is suggested that you handle them with a companion. Like any large animal, they can be dangerous when hungry or scared.

[@qa377]

From what I've seen, most of the time people get in trouble with big reptile bites it's because of a food response. They generally aren't super persistent about attacking out of defensiveness (unless very cornered). Once they have an opening to flee, they will (unless there's eggs involved)

[@jadedone6900]

Lived in Alaska off and on for a bit when my family moved up there. They were there four years but I was very much not a fan of it lol but the moose can be terrifying. I get you say they don’t tend to go for humans unprovoked, but there was this one moose that was legit a bully in the neighborhood I lived in😅 it KNEW when people would be heading to work, when buses would show up, when kids would typically be outside to play and it would be waiting in hiding for these times. It was a male (you could very clearly tell if yaknow what I’m saying) and it was not rutting season. There was one time that it was across the street and I was trying to go outside and every single time I opened the front door it would start aggressively walking and hugging towards me. One time my brother and I decided to see where it goes at dark. We got in my parents van and followed it. It was a bit difficult to see at times, but we managed to track it all the way to a mountain about 30 minutes away!!!! This moose was walking 30 minutes every day to come terrorize the people where I lived 😂 idk what happened to cause it to decide to do that, but I respect the commitment and the pettiness

The channel Clint’s reptile did an interview with the woman that was getting rolled by the alligator at the start. This was at an experience event with children, tends and other adults getting a feeding encounter to watch. Thankfully she had very little damage done to her hand. Her arm was twisted in such a way when it was grabbed that the roll end up just straightening her arm. The dude that jumped in on the alligator? He wasn’t an employee. He wasn’t a volunteer. He was just a reptile geek that just kinda knew what to do and didn’t want to wait for more staff to come running in while the risk for her being rolled and losing her hand/arm was incredibly high. Once he said on the alligator and kept it from rolling, the girl being bitten had to tell him what to do. He had no idea how to get out of the situation! He said he just couldn’t leave her hanging. Other staff don’t come rolling in until this random dude is sitting on this alligator.

Buster wasn’t letting out anger. He just has a thing about knocking things over so his owners will put stacks of things around so he can knock them over.

He rants to his human Dad, L when he gets home from work, to tell him about his day, whether it’s good or bad. He loves to talk about going to the dog play group, or Ohio ( his owners don’t know why either, but Buster alway says he’s going there). He loves the trampoline and more. Buster is a hoot! Great that there was someone there to help that woman with the python. I don’t think she would have gotten away.

[@LiamDerWandrer]

Yeah, that snake was not just in food mode. Looking at that room, the woman has zero knowledge on how to properly deal with a snake that large. It in all likelyhood does not like her at all. If a snake actually likes you, it is way quicker on letting go if it accidentally mistook your hand for a rat while in food mode. The very first taste of your blood would clue it in that you are not a rat, because rat tastes and feels different than human does. This one went for full compression and even started to go for a wrap around her neck. If that man had not been present it would propably have managed to kill her. She propably feeds it way to little, gives it way to small a living space and next to no proper intraction, wether training, play or socialisation.

First thing I thought at the initial behavior of the snake, is that something was wrong. I've never been a snake owner, I just like to learn about them. Yet even I, a person who has never owned one, could see the snake was not in a good way. Most pythons and boas that have proper handling and nutrition, do not act that way towards their handlers. My thought is that there is something going on with this snake. Poor nutrition most likely. Treating a human like a food item is absolutely not normal.

The snake was in food mode. it thought it was being fed and the heat signature of a hand looks a lot like a rat. It is important to teach giant snakes to target feed. If they don't see the target then they are not being fed. Keepers also use a snake hook to stroke the back of the snake before touching them to signal that they are not feeding.

So my dad is a nurse and me and one of my sisters were going through one of his medical books. We were comparing the STI pictures to horse bite pictures to see which was worse, like ick wise. Horse bites won hands down.

The surgeons who put the alligator guy's head back together did a fantastic job. You can barely see any scars or deformities after such a devastating attack.

[@ericthompson3982]

I can absolutely say that, as much as my kitty used to 100% adore me, she did spend a fair amount of energy attempting to murder me.

I'd love to see more content like this. I've been seeing the shorts so finally watched the full video.

[@Angel-od1bt]

I really just wish people would leave horses alone, unless they personally know those horses and are with the owner. They are not giant dogs, they’re prey animals and fear motivated. They are not always friendly to strangers. And they are capable of destroying your entire skull with a single well placed kick to the head, and they have excellent aim. There’s a video of a mare kicking a stallion in the head because she doesn’t want to mate. He drops like a stone, dies instantly. Your skull is probably more breakable than a horse’s. Don’t be stupid. And while we’re at it, cows can also be dangerous especially if they have calves.

My neighbour got very upset because his cat would bring me presents and he didn't get anything 🤣 cats are so funny.

[@elucidatelixir]

my husband caught a beat down from a deer in his grandmas yard when he was a kid. instead of coming to help, his fam stayed inside and took pictures, hand on heart, i seen 'em.

Harley the Cockatoo (aka "The Towernator") is a very special bird. She loves toppling cup towers, and her cupsongs are not to be missed. She will actually pick up one of those little plastic cups and scream into it, just because she likes the echo.

[@terrymusick8350]

I absolutely love the clip of the little dog that accidentally taps the electric fence, yelps then runs away. and the donkey walks over to the edge of the fence Braying. Sounds and looks like it's laughing at the dog

[@roseford2212]

This is the first time I`ve seen a video of yours, and I must say I loved it. I learned some things I didn`t know and you made me laugh out loud! Thank you!

[@berinrobotoctopus3533]

Dr Jones, you are an absolute legend. Please and thank you. You make the internet a better place.

[@ari-etta]

Every animal deserves respect and admiration.

[@denisenoble4010]

i came across your videos again and i just knew i had to watch. as well as the serious info you put across, which is necessary and informative, your 'ordinary, naughty' side is what makes me want to watch on repeat. You laughing, your squeamish looks and your overall humour needs to become part of compulsory watching by kids and adults alike. i just love love love these videos. thanks a million xx

[@RamadaArtist]

That first video still gets me. I saw it as a viral clip, and then I saw her interview on Clint's Reptiles. That woman is a certified coldblooded badass. That part where she's just in the tank with one hand in the alligator's mouth and the other one just propped to the side and holding up her head like, "just another Tuesday," is just wild to witness. What a goddamn trooper. Edit: that bit isn't even in this video... y'all should go look up the whole thing if you haven't seen it. Worth watching just to appreciate her entire vibe.

[@hisae_eiko1923]

I have 3 cats. One of them hunts mostly mouses (and brings them in my bed at night and looks all proud and purrs and all, but I can never be mad at her 😅), the other brings home birds, sometimes we can actually save the bird, and sometimes we just find random feathers on the floor. Now, our eldest, a very beautiful orange with white little socks, will stay outside for HOURS without moving just to bring moles at our porch. I remember when I was little I cried because he killed a baby mole and I was so sad lol

[@JamesFluker]

Love the moose footage. Moose are fantastic animals, and its wonderful to see them engage in their nagural behaviours. I feel like we see lots of cats, dogs, reptiles, and birds online - but Moose fly under the radar a bit!

[@jeannemara1600]

We found out there were ****RATS**** in my husband's workshop when my sweet, shy cat presented us with one one evening and the other the next evening. The workshop is attached to the house, so we made sure there weren't any more out there. And, we made sure to close the door from the house to the workshop. Our cats are never allowed outside, except on our screened deck and the screens are extremely strong, so they can't tear them. The screens are over the top, too. I was repulsed and, at the same time, impressed. I didn't think he had that sort of hunter instinct in him.

[@blobface103]

I love the excitement in her voice when she mentions the, "death roll."

[@SimonHinz-gr5yg]

Ann is awesome. Reacting to stuff is so popular nowadays and most of the time it's just lazy content, but she is so informative. Very nice!

[@noelletheriault5276]

I just started watching you 😂🎉 and I'm hooked ❤ I absolutely needed this !! I'm very pleased to meet you and look forward to watching more, I've got some binging to do ❤

[@marmalade8915]

Major respect to the alligator attack guy for not holding it against the animal or hating them for it

[@angelikaopland7880]

Cats leave "gifts" for people they are fond of. A shipmate aboard a Greenpeace ship in San Francisco always found the ship's cat sleeping at the foot of her bunk in the morning. One morning, she awoke to find a grisly surprise: the back half of a full-grown rat draped across her thigh on top of the blanket. Next to it was a bit less of another rat's hindquarters & finally just a third tail, all neatly laid out the same direction & spacing. She screamed, which woke me up. I picked up all 3 specimens by the tail tips, carried them on deck & tossed them overboard. Then I assured her that she was VERY dear to that cat. -Angelika's Husband

7:05 My favorite was the “Ding dong doorbell SNAKE” 😂😂😂🤣🤣💀

[@StoneWolf99801]

This is why in countries like Australia where so much wild life is endangered, animals like pet cats should be kept indoors or in catios where cats can be protected from wildlife, and wildlife can be protected from cats. My cats are very happy and have enriched lives indoors. They dont kill wildlife, and my wildlife is safe from my cats.

[@SquishyTishy4Life]

Can I just say how much I love this woman's commentary on here!!! She made this better than it was by itself!!!

I know where alligators live, so that's where I swim.

[@nrgbunni.]

I love Dr ann jones vids on animals she's so charming.

[@carmelgoldfanning5865]

So cats protecting kids is real, our cat, who we got as a kitten and she grew up around our baby, when he got older and started having tantrums, our cat instantly started attacking us whenever he would cry! She still to this day comes around and investigates whenever he has a meltdown, he's about to be five. And she only cuddles him when he's asleep she's been scared of him since he started running 😂

[@esmewvimes2901]

I can't breathe.. 😂😂😂. The guy screaming 😱 😭 the cat. 😂 The cat fucked him up! Not the guy screaming. You're killing me. . . I'm going to pee!! Whoo 🎉

[@endurancegoliath4569]

I was kicked in the chest once by a horse. I believe that cardiac arrest immediatly, specially after a certain age. With me I got a few bruised ribs and got the air knocked out of me; was winded for almost a minute. It was the first time ( sadly not the last time) in my life I got winded and was 12, it was scary af and for the whole time I thought I was going to die. Getting kicked by a horse is no joke.

[@staceyroberts3468]

Ohhhhh my gosh I love her!!!!!!! Best sense of humor 😂😂. And she’s so real!

[@crimsonmckenzie98]

I could watch this host cover anything lol Love it 😋

That kid at the beginning having fun with the gator.

[@sinstarussunniva6890]

I taught my kids a simple remembrance " if it has a mouth it bites, claws? it scratches, if its wild ,you can and will be hurt"

[@nackenkissen1299]

Great Video! Very entertaining and educational :)

[@TheGassy92]

4:37-4:42 lmao. I love her 😂

[@christineweaver3090]

When the deer crashed through the window you notice besides the lady grabbing her purse she's putting up her jacket to her chest...😆 It's like "watch out that lady has a jacket!*

[@leeann4743]

My cats don't go outside. They bring me bugs and toys because they love me. Once we lived in a mouse infested housed and my orange cat put a live mouse in my chair. I sat down, momentarily, lol.

[@katherinemcintosh7247]

The attack of that guy taking care of the cats? That gave me a flash back to when I was in preschool (maybe 4 years old) visiting a friend of mine for a “play date.” We were playing in the basement, my friend went upstairs for a moment, I looked up the stairs, her cat was at the top of the stairs and suddenly on my head, claws and teeth were all I experienced…this was 50 years ago. The cat’s name was Freckles. My attitude toward cats? “I wish them well and far away from me.”

[@karyannfontaine8757]

Dogs are more frightening to me than my snakes. They run in packs, chase, bite to kill. I was attacked by dogs while riding my bicycle while their owner laughed. Gave one a well placed kick while the other bit me. Give me a snake any time. Met a huge Moose in Maine. The Moose looked at me, I did not make eye contact, she sniffed me and went on her way. Amazing animal, absolutely Huge. I am a snake keeper of large and small snakes. I love them.

[@juliaann7160]

Also the horse in Spain was swishing his tail fro the start and took a subtle step forward before the man put his hand up. It was subtle, but could be a signal for the man to back off or that the horse was aware of the human and postioning himslef defensively.

[@Ferd414]

No "could be" about it. From the first instant of the vid, that horse was showing "GET AWAY FROM ME!" in every bit of its being.
