The most terrifying thing about crocodiles, especially the nile and saltwater crocodiles, isn't their bite force, death roll, breath holding capacity, stealth levels, or the 200+ million years of a successful evolutionary line. It's the fact that they straight up view humans as a VIABLE source of food, and in regards to nile and saltwater crocodiles, will actually take the time to study campers and people who live on/near their waters to figure out our routines and THEN develop a plan to try and snatch us for an easy meal...

Additional crocodile facts: they're covered by small dots which are actually part of some big sensory system. Meaning that they don't need to see smell or hear you to locate you, you just need to step in the water they're in. They also have a ridiculously efficient immune system and their wounds close up very fast even though their limbs don't grown back. Oh and being part of a branch that also produced dinosaurs, crocodilians are closer to birds than to lizards.

The thing about Boomslangs is that they are rear-fanged and therefore were noted as mildly venomous and not deadly based on other rear-fanged snake bites (which are compared to bee stings). There were no prior recordings about their bite so when Dr. Schmidt was bit, he decided to record the symptoms. Apparently he felt poorly for a few days and then felt better and called in to say he’d come into work the next day. He didn’t show up so they sent someone to check in on him where they found he had proceeded with his morning routine before keeling over dead. That was when the community discovered that Boomslangs were highly venomous and were to be handled with care and an anti-venom created in the event of future bites.

[@smeetel]

And this is why people saying 'look at the bite wound to tell if its venomous' will get people killed. Colubrids (rear-fanged snakes) have a visually distinctive bite wound, but just because its not the two holes doesn't mean it isn't gonna put you on a shirt.

Fun fact about Box jellies: they actually have eyes on all four “corners” of their bodies, just above where the tentacles start. They can’t see colours or shapes like humans but they can identify changes in light. When their tentacles touch something and they see the change in light source from an object (the shadow of the object), they wrap their tentacles around the object which explains why most victims of box jellyfish have scars wrapping their whole leg or arm.

A blue-ringed octopus is still at the "what the fuck is THAT?" stage of evolution, and just happens to be able to kill us.

I live in Australia and when I was about 14-15 I was out fishing at a river, I was there for about and hour and 30 minutes standing about 2-3m from the waters edge when an egret (river bird) landed on a low lying tree branch above the water about 10m down the river bank from me, about 10 minutes later a 4-4.5m croc jumps up and grabs the bird and slides back into the depths, that crocodile was probably watching me that entire time waiting to strike but it chose the easier meal instead. Word of advice, if you ever visit Australia and you go near a body of water, (unless it is proven there are no crocs) always stay about 6-7m away from the waters edge, crocodiles can jump out of the water almost the entire length of their body, so if you stay that far away from the waters edge they wont even try.

One of my profs back in Texas is a crocodilian researcher, which means he's got some pretty wild ideas of fun. He told us a story about a time he and some colleagues were taking blood samples from wild alligators down in the bayou. They were in a small boat with fishing poles strung with the toughest line they had and with big heavy hooks, pointing flashlights out over the water to look for the reflections of eyes. When they spotted a small gator, they cast the lines at it until the hooks caught in its armor, then pull it in, jab it with a syringe, and let it go. That was all fine and good until one gator they'd hooked turned to face them, and suddenly there was a good foot and a half of distance between its eye-glows. Big fella went "nope" and dived, and the lines snapped like they weren't even there. Welp, better than having that one in the boat with you.

As a floridian who's come face to face 1.5 feet away from 13 foot alligators that weigh 1000lbs yeah that was a giant boy atleast of the same size 1.5 feet distance of eyes is a bit much but it was probably 1 foot because that 13 foot 1000lb jurassic creatures eyes would be about a foot apart mofos face is about 2 feet wide atleast

[@hemal7815]

i am not calling this story false but it is nearly impossible to believe there was a crocodilian with a foot and a half of distance between its eyes because that would mean it is more than 40 feet or so long lol which is highly unlikely. Most likely the alligator was absolutely huge and powerful just not THAT big

Just thought it would be important to note that Schmidt did, in fact, make an intelligent decision hospital-wise. The travel distance it would take to ship the anti-venom to his location would mean it would already be too late once it arrived. His chances of survival were slim even with medical help, so instead he chose to document the effects of untreated boomslang venom in detail.

One of the pictures you had for the Boomslang was a tree boa. Also, it's just a fun fact that boomslangs are rear-fanged, so a lot of people doubted tbeir ability to deliver venom. Even a scratch from it can kill you, and that is well and truly terrifying, but I've seen Steve Irwin hold one, not by the head, and it was just chilling, because they do be like that.

[@SwordGuardian]

@@jasonmoffat679 while that would be the case, the venom is present in small amounts throughout the snake's mouth, which is why so called "dry bites" often do still result in mild symptoms. In this case, the venom is so potent that even without an intent to invenomate, a Boomslang could conceivably kill by accident. Again, thank the Nine that Boomslangs are so chill.

[@Laz3rCat95]

Basically the ranking of these from least to most dangerous is: 5. Boomslang: As bad as their toxin is, they don't try to pursue humans, and instead actually try to avoid us, making attacks rare 4. Jaguar: Although they're stealth predators, humans are not on their typical menu so they will generally avoid us. So again, attacks are rare since they'll only make a meal out of us if they're desperate. 3. Jellyfish: What makes them more dangerous than the snake and jaguar is that they're basically invisible in the water so it's easy to accidentally run into them, and when you do that can easily spell disaster. But they're not the most dangerous animal mentioned here because they don't actively seek out humans. 2. Tsetse fly: Unlike the snake, jaguar, and jellyfish, they will actually try to seek out humans to drink your blood. But they are insects so there's various ways you can kill/deter them, plus the method of killing is not immediate so you can survive if you get medical help in a reasonable period of time after. 1. Crocodile: Definitely the most dangerous since they will seek out and pursue anything around them that moves to eat, including you. Plus they're not tiny bugs so there's not much you can do to fend them off, and their attack kills immediately.

Regarding crocs, I remember going to a croc farm with my dad once, they had trimmed branches away from the fences to keep the area clean and to keep morons from climbing up and trying to get pics of the crocs from above.

I remember clearly thinking that when I came out of cardiac arrest that what had happened before was a crazy dream, then the pain came back. I can’t even describe the pain because it was all I felt, like I couldn’t see hear, or feel anything but overwhelming pain. The tentacles quite literally burned grooves into my skin and made my legs swell up like balloons. Anyway I was in the hospital for like 4 or 5 days with severe muscle spasms meaning I got like an hour of sleep a night I got more needles stuck in me for the first 6 hours than I have for my whole life and after I made it out of the hospital I couldn’t walk for like a month and had severe mental trauma and a fear of being in water that I still struggle with when I go to swimming pools.

Hey Casual Geographic, I have an animal suggestion I'd love to see you talk about in a video, the Crocodile Monitor (Varanus Salvadorii) of Papua New Guinea. In terms of mass they're the 3rd or 4th largest lizard after Asian Water Monitor and Komodo Dragon, with several other monitor species having significant mass/size overlap with them, but length-wise are the longest lizard (70% of which is made of tail length) at 2.5m/8ft long on average and can allegedly reach +12ft, and pound for pound are arguably the deadliest lizard there is because their teeth are several times bigger than Komodo teeth and their overall speed, agility, raw power, aggression and even intelligence is also superior to that of comparable sized monitor lizard species, and their hooked claws are proportionally larger than other monitors too. They're sometimes kept as pets in the US by hardcore reptile enthusiasts (and sometimes overconfident noobs) and being notoriously difficult to tame and socialize, there have been a few fatalities where the owners got bit on the forearm and had every vein and artery around the bite site torn open so they bled out in minutes or less... From a single bite that lasted just a few seconds... In the wilds of New Guinea they're greatly feared by local native tribes who describe them as malevolent tree spirits and when they attack they do it from above while using their prehensile tails and claws to help hang onto the tree branches so that they can make a quick retreat if you fight back and use dense foliage as cover to suddenly snap their jaws out at you again if you don't get out fast. They don't attack humans to feed on them, they prefer to keep away from us, they're just very territorial and have also been hunted by tribal folks for thousands of years so they instinctively know humans are a threat and they also know they can fight back and win if they play it smart. I think serious attacks would still be rare, but I've read that when they do attack, it's the stuff of horror movies, they're like tree Velociraptors. Speaking of which, the Crocodile Monitor was also the animal that was used as the inspiration model for the design of the Velociraptors in the Jurassic Park franchise, their heads literally look the f*cking same and you die of rapid blood loss if you get mauled by one. They're the most badass animal that the general population has never heard of.

Box jellyfish can also be found in SE Asia. The first time I saw one was a little one squiggling just below a wharf in Palawan in the Philippines. I cannot believe it at first because I thought it can only be found Australia. Locals call it "salabay". They say it thrives if the sea water is warm and you have a big chance of dying if you got stung on the navel part of your belly. This fact made me worry about dipping on the waters of Palawan. In spite of that, I did find myself in the sea while being deadass drunk on a birthday celebration at a local beach resort. A kid swimming close to me got up immediately and is scratching his thighs uncontrollably. I asked him what happened and then told me it might be a box jellyfish. I had a delay of understanding the situstion because of drunkenness but his nasty facial expression made me realize that it is an emergency situation. So I got up fast and brought ourselves out of the water. Vinegar was poured to the affected area before his parents took him to the hospital. Swimmers are also warned and in minutes they vacated the waters. The kid survived his ordeal and he got the nasty signature marks of box jellyfish stings.

He showed several different snakes in the Boomslang section. I noted a Black Mamba, a Rattle Snake (not sure what species), and what appears to be a Green Tree Python.

[@performancebasedheatingair8006]

yep

[@jewelleaston9048]

Yeah, the info about it from what I know is solid, but it's too bad about the pictures though, the first one is right, and I understand some of them, like the vine snakes, those ones are hard, but the rattle snake? And the green tree python, like, a green tree python has heat pits on its face making it pretty easy to tell it's not a Boomslang. And both of those also have slit pupil, where as the Boomslang has round ones.

[@PlushieBastet]

I get the impression he asked someone else to help him with that part. CG is usually more careful than that.

[@aklhys4545]

boomslang is dutch right cuz if u translate it litterally it means tree snake (boom = tree and slang = snake)

[@sanablue]

@@aklhys4545 that would make sense since he said it's sub saharan and afaik there are parts of Africa where people speak Dutch (or languages that originate from Dutch) down there.

Did this dude say meet Ms Carry!? 🤣🤣🤣 Thats comedic chops right there. A regular dude like me can't flip a topic and make it funny in 2 words. He has more death lines than the Grim Reaper himself 💯

There are a lot animal-related videos on YT, but yours are, by far, the most entertaining. Keep it up :D

I think the most intimidating thing about the crocodile is that it doesn’t die of natural causes/old age. It just gets bigger and bigger until it doesn’t have enough food to feed itself.

[@boochicks2590]

Nope. That was a crock of shit article by Vice.

I brush up with death anytime I decide to take a swim, but honestly the most terrifying thing is when I see blue bottles on the shore when I’m about to. That’s mainly because I have no idea what’s in the water unless I can see it. Ignorance is bliss and if I knew I might never swim again. I love Australia.

[@trevorday7923]

There's one story about Saltwater Crocodiles which FREAKS me out. During WW2 the British Army in Burma chased a couple of thousand Japanese troops into a mango swamp which, unfortunately, was crawling with Salties and when the water crept out the crocs crept in. All the British could hear all through the night was the thrashing of the crocodiles in the water and the screams of the Japanese troops as they were killed violently and horribly. I can't remember exactly how many of the Japanese troops survived.... I just remember that number being verrrrrrrrry small.

quick blurb about juvi snake bites: Younger snakes don't have much control over their venom yeild, especially when anxious. Meaning when they bite, they often let the whole payload go. If you're bit by a young snake, treat with the same (if not more) urgency than a bite from an adult

[@Shay16348]

False. Juvenile snakes mean they are (typically) smaller than adults. Adults, being larger, can produce more venom and therefore can have a larger venom yield. Either way, treat any venomous snake bite the same and get medical attention. This video explains it very well! I highly suggest watching it, 😁 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnW5iXqoic2qopYsi=t6oi8oKm1P7D8CZt

[@maineaglexproductions4025]

@@Shay16348 Not what I said, didn't say anything relating to venom glad size. What I said is they don't have control over the yeild that they deliver like adult snakes do. Venom is biologically expensive to produce, so many adults will deliver "dry bites" in defensive situations (still need a doctor ASAP, obvi). But venom control is a skill that snakes have to learn as they age. Hope this clears things up😁

[@Shay16348]

@@maineaglexproductions4025 Also not necessarily true. These snakes are born with this venom, and will pretty much immediately know how to use it. And you did in fact say, "they let the whole payload go" along with mentioning venom yield. Venom yield is the amount of venom they can produce into a bite compared to their body size. What you said is false. Hope this clears things up. 😁 I would also like to add that venom gland size and fang size does contribute to venom yield. Juveniles will be smaller, and as I said before, this means they will not deliver as much venom as an adult. Adult bites will almost always be much worse than a juvenile bite.

[@maineaglexproductions4025]

@@Shay16348 yeah okay, I tried to be nice, now I'm done. You've just parroted your initial argument without addressing a single one of mine. I'll reiterate: Adult snake: probable chance of invenomation, possible chance of dry bite. Juvi: definite invenomation, no chance of dry bite. Why? No venom control. You incorrectly corrected me, then doubled down after I explained, and attempted to put words In my mouth. Textbook narcissist shit.

[@Shay16348]

​@@maineaglexproductions4025 I simply explained that what you said was false. Juvenile snakes don't have 'no control' over their venom yield. They know how to use it straight after they are born. Also, you sound goofy as hell saying "I tried to be nice but now I'm done." Like what 💀 Anyway, I did not try put words into your mouth. I simply told you that you were wrong, and explained why. There was no reason for your rudeness. Thanks 😁

Just a reminder that Jaguars used to be found as far north as the Grand Canyon and Texas before being evicted by settlers.

[@jessragan6714]

They're sneaking back into southern Arizona, but it's very rare that you'll actually see one.

@@jessragan6714 Yeah unfortunately it's just lone individuals that cross the border. I doubt we'll ever see a breeding population of Jaguars in the US again.
