Wildlife Expert Breaks Down Animal Scenes from Movies | GQ

[@lunicy8105]

i could listen to this guy talk about animals for ages

[@ErnestOttmon]

you should definitely check out Joe rogan podcast with he has some amazing stories with animals

[@hannahmills2096]

I love when these expert videos feature a person who has a sense of humor about it all. They're willing to accept the fantasy of it all and will jovially explain why it's not realistic without being condescending.

[@mikkj1]

Yeah, when he started with Ace Ventura, I didn't expect him to be so understanding that it's a comedy, and then, Jumanji, he knew it was a fantasy. Some of them forget that it's a movie, not a documentary. The bad CGI and demonizing animals part, I agree with.

[@icarusfx]

The one thing that got me was that he’s totally wrong about wolf attacks. There have been a few hundred fatal attacks in the last 50 years. Wolves have killed tens of thousands of humans in the last thousand years alone, god only knows how many in human history.

[@mikkj1]

@Icarusfx Still, the reason that wolves were demonized wasn't because they preyed on humans, but because they preyed on our livestock. In olden times, if they killed your livestock, you had a good chance of not making it through the winter.

[@Natrium9775]

@@icarusfx i live in northern finland and seeing wolfs is daily thing. They don't attack humans unless you go to their territory. We have kids walking to school and no wolf attacks, only thing they sometimes kill is dogs or other animals

[@icarusfx]

Everlaasti that’s cool, Finland seems nice. He said throughout recorded history there were 3 fatal wolf attacks, which was completely false - just wanted to correct that. Wolves are beautiful animals but did prey on humans in the past. We don’t have to demonize them, but we shouldn’t pretend they aren’t dangerous. They’re hunters.

[@AKindOfDog]

As someone who grew up in bear country...yeah, bears (especially grizzlies) really can be that dangerous. Especially if you're not taking the necessary bear awareness precautions

[@AutisticBearLover]

@@AKindOfDog Ok I must ask, as someone who is highly obsessed with bears, what is it like living in bear country? I grew up in a California city, basically nowhere near bears at all, and I've always been extremely curious about it.

[@enekaitzteixeira1070]

@@AutisticBearLover Wdym? If you live in California you also live in a country with bears. Even if some lives in a more rural area, they're never going to be hanging out with bears as if they were buddies. If you really are interesting in knowing about bear encounters, or even understanding their behaviour, you should talk to a biologist, or even become one yourself.

The very beginning of the Revenant bear scene wasn't included this clip but it actually starts with DeCaprio seeing some bear cubs nearby and then the next thing he knows the mother attacks him. I think that's why the expert was a little confused at first, he didn't see that part of the scene so he thought maybe the bear was attacking for food.

[@sauravvinod4411]

Exactly. The sniffing part was the mother making sure that Caprio was no longer a threat to her cubs.

[@erikawhelan4673]

That makes so much more sense. I was going to say that, as far as I'm aware, the only animal in North America that will deliberately set out to hunt and eat a human being is a Polar Bear.

[@kevinsaviro2708]

⁠@@dillongagegrizzly and brown bear attacks on humans are extremely rare. Very few people in history have died by brown bear attacks. Also grizzlies don’t really eat seals.

[@CheekieCharlie]

Listen: a bear is a freight train wrapped in a fuzzy exterior. A snake is a scared hungry neutral thing wrapped in a "scary" exterior. If a twenty pound python gets you and you've got the least amount of people needed to handle it (any snake bigger than your average little snake needs more than one person and have a minimum of people needed to handle them) then you're probably going to be fine, they're suffocating or crushing predators that don't get that big because their prey is small. A grizzly bear can kill a MOOSE. Which is the most terrifying herbivore there is. Bears are scary man.

[@jakester455]

I like the furry freight train analogy. An adult grizzly or brown bear could probably kill any land animal save for the big ones in Africa. Awhile back Rogan talked about grizzly versus male silverback gorilla… Who would win? There are a ton of really good videos that exhaustively cover this bizarre topic, and the more you look at it, the more it becomes obvious that a gorilla has no chance against a grizzly. Grizzlies spend their lives fighting each other and tearing stuff to pieces while gorillas sit around a lot eating leaves and berries.

[@alexgulino335]

@@78rebel78 I can only assume but what makes comedy funny is truth and relatability. Comedies (unless slapstick or the like) can get away with fudging the truth much less that a scary/suspense movie. In our mind when something is threatening us it might as well be the size of a house to our body. Showing something realistic to a distant audience won't provoke that reaction as well but showing something beyond terrifying might trigger it even in an audience. Sure in real life coming across an anaconda half that size would be infinitely more terrifying than the movie... for about 20 seconds until you got away... Or I guess didn't.

iirc shark teeth are so sharp that depending on the size of the shark it's entirely possible for it to straight up take your leg off without you instantly realizing that your leg is gone. you'll feel the force of the impact obvs but combined with an adrenaline rush, you might not realize why you're swimming so badly right away.

Even further back, we have movies like "The Devil Bat" (mutant bats, 1940) and "The Sea Bat" (manta ray, 1930).
