The trouble with protecting yourself from scorpions by wearing shoes is that scorpions like to hide in shoes. Anyone who lives near scorpions knows to shake out their shoes before putting them on - there might be something in there that doesn't want to be squished by toes!

[@robertsmith4681]

A lot of people carry large ziploc bags and seal their shoes in them for that exact reason. Even if you shake them off there is no guarantee that it will come out and you may be stung on the hand if one does fall out of your shoe while trying to shake it out.

Rattle snakes do not normally atack you they warn youbefore you get close enouph to get bit, although if it is cool out they might not. but if they are cold they normaly do not strike unless you are on top of them. i have found one Mohave green that did not rattle at me but he was cold after a rainstorm on the San Pedro river near Toumbston and a Diomandback western type near Cochise stronghold Arizona. and for the scorpians in your house i usally put pickle jars in my snake boots so they can not get in the toes and sting me. and olive jars in my laceup boots and tihgten the laces. snd do not put anything against the walls. allways carry a gun 10mm or bigger with FMJ. or hardend bullets.

I grew up in rattlesnake and black widow country. I was taught from the time I could walk to never stick my hand into a bush outside without looking first, or into a hole in the ground. We have cougar sightings around here, and now and then bear sightings. There are bobcats also...and coyotes are common in the suburbs. (Near Seattle WA).

[@janfitzgerald3615]

Yup, we have bobcats, cougars, coyotes, black bears and deer around our neighborhood in Port Orchard. The cougars usually stay outside the neighborhood but have been seen in trails. Occasionally a bobcat has come in someone’s backyard and the bears have raided bird feeders, the coyotes usually stay outside the neighborhood too, but you can sometimes hear them at night, especially during mating season. I lived in the Tri Cities for awhile, we had rattlesnakes and black widows there.

[@lyonanddebanderson4418]

Come to the south! We have that and more!

Same down here in Southern CA where even the normally venomous southern pacific rattlesnake has developed a hybrid strain with the Mojave rattlesnake in some higher habitats and can now easily kill a person. Mountain lions routinely use San Diego and Riverside county green belts and river bottoms as highways in and out of the suburbs. I have also nearly hit several black bears with a car, narrowly missing them in the dark.

The alligator story was altered. Happened about 3-4 years ago at a Disney hotel resort. I believe the family was from Ohio with a 3 year old boy and a baby girl the mother was holding. Boy was playing on water edge in a pond outside the resort. An alligator jumped out of water and grabbed the little boy. The father followed and wrestled the alligator but couldn't rescue the little boy. He was found drowned.

I live in the rural mountains of North Carolina. Last month, I saw a beautiful timber rattlesnake in my yard near my back porch. It was big. A week later my husband captured it and we found a local snake rescuer with a special license to transport the snake to a more isolated area with no traffic. Timber rattlers are a protected species. Turns out she was pregnant! 😊 We also have black bears track through the yard most days. But they are very skittish. So are timber rattlers.

There's a reason why deer hunting exists. Controlling their numbers is not only important for humans but the deer population as well. Lyme disease from ticks on the deer also is an issue.

I live in NW PA and my sisters along with my niece and nephew were out clearing brush on the property we lease for hunting. They didn’t realize coyotes were stalking them until they heard a growl from a dense thicket as soon as they heard it they took off running. They made a big mistake by leaving their guns in the truck and they were lucky that the guys were there and fired a shot and they took off running the other way. When I was 12 I went hunting for the first time I had an encountered with a black bear come crashing through the woods and stop just below our tree stand. It stood up on its back legs and sniffing the air then noticed we were in the tree and started climbing the tree but thank god it gave up and got down and ran off

YES. Mountain lions can actually be super chill if you respect them. At the zoo in my area, one of the mountain lions was laying right on the ledge on his side of the glass and there was a ledge on my side. I gave him the same sleepy eyes you give your domestic cat, as I approached. He stayed chill when I sat down and eventually laid down on the ledge, and we then took a nap together. Best moment ever.

We have a shitload of Gators here in Texas as well. Me and a Buddy were fishing an ox bow lake off the Trinity River...an ox bow lake is from the old river channel course that ended up land locked when the river moved. You have to be real careful about hanging your stringer of fish off the side of the boat. We always attached the stringer to the boat with a line that would break if the gators decided they wanted your fish. All it takes is one incidence of a gator dragging your boat sideway and threatening to swamp you when he decides your fish are his fish. They can smell you coming from crazy distances!!!!

[@Grynslvr2]

Gators in Texas. Yep, 40 odd years ago I was a cop for Crystal Beach, TX and we got a report of an alligator that came up from a body of water in this guy's back yard and ATE his beagle. Lots of kids playing around that water in the summer time, so we called the Game Wardens, who called in to Austin, got a "death warrant" for the alligator from a judge, and another Game Warden drove it down to the scene of the beagle buffet. I then got to watch as the Crystal Beach foundation savers err... I mean Volunteer Fire Department, tried to pump the water out of the "slew" with their pumper. They didn't realize that it was connected to the Gulf of Mexico. I went off duty and the Game Warden got lucky with some sort of bait, and shot Mr Gator. I live on Galveston island, just across the ship channel from all of this, and have had rattlesnakes, in my back yard, coyotes on my block, water moccasins within 200 yards of my house, alligators on my island ("it's MY island"), and cougars in the neighboring counties. If that weren't enough, we have sharks, stingrays, and eels in the water around us, and are likely to have hurricanes, waterspouts, and tornadoes. Heck the mascots for the local high school teams in the county are the Tornadoes (Galveston), the Cougars (LaMarque), Stingrays (Texas City, TX), and the Gators (Dickinson, TX). Come on down to the Island and enjoy an exciting day, full of action, adventure, and general weirdness.

We had 6 or 7 rattle snakes over the years. Mom carrying a potluck tray stepped over one, sunning it's self on the door mat. My dog chased a frog into the water meter box. When I looked, I found a 4 and half footer. We had bobcat, mountain lions, and coyotes on our property. We found an abandoned coyote pup. It took two days for wildlife rescue to come get him from us. He was a vicious little shit that wanted us dead. A girl from my junior high school had a mountain lion pull 11 rabbits through the front of the hutch about two miles from my house. So, if you live in southern California, you can tick off most of these deadly animals on the list.

Then she asked me if I needed to get a pygmy rattler for the park? Yes, I did. She pointed to where it was. I saw nothing. She pointed more until I could see it. It's a pretty snake but it was posed ready to strike. I took 4 shots. Only one was good because I was shaking out of fear.

2:15 Black Widows are actually mostly harmless. The reason they have the reputation they do is because they're one of only two species of spider native to North America that can harm humans in any way. If bitten by a black widow though, the average person will just get flu symptoms for a few days, then it'll go away on its own. In fact, black widow fatalities are so rare that we only make a single batch of antivenom every year. It's not something to be worried about.

"Attacked" by rattlesnakes is a bit pejorative. They do not go out of their way to bite humans. Most bites are from people messing with them (or accidentally stepping on them). They are painful and have a long recovery time, but they are not typically fatal. Also - scorpions love to be tucked into your shoes. Always shake them out before putting them on! We are avid hikers.

Adam, I lived in Colorado Springs, Colorado when I was in the Army, I was stationed at Ft.

Anyway, apparently the Bear liked Taco Bell food, because the same bear would make it's way to the dumpster, have to be tranquilized by the Forrest Rangers, then transported back over the mountain many miles away. They tagged him, so the always knew it was the same bear.... that was pretty funny! In a different news report, there was a guy who had to call in to work saying he couldn't make it in until the Wildlife Ranger arrived to tranquilize the the mountain lion on his front lawn! Could you imagine going out to your vehicle with a cup of coffee in your hand heading out to your truck and seeing a mountain lion looking at you like you are the one for breakfast?!! I remember another report where kids were not allowed to go out to the playground at recess because there were bear cubs playing on the playground.... where baby cubs are, mother is surely close by! There were reports of people looking out into their back yard and seeing a bear family going swimming in their pool..... you take your chances living among the beautiful scenery of the mountains, there were always reports of people finding their pets killed by wild life, or come up missing altogether! The people in the news did their best to warn new people moving into the area not to leave their pets outside, especially in the spring time when wild life are really hungry after hibernating during the winter months in the mountains! People really need to think before they move to places..... I just believe people have forgotten to think things through altogether!! Enjoyed the video.....

[@Complication84]

There is a reason why settlers eradicated wolves and coyotes. People get sick of losing children to predators.

[@benschultz1784]

With wolves it was more of the stories of wolves attacking people in Europe that caused the killings.

[@RaffiJaharian]

They eradicated predators mostly to protect livestock stock that why you don’t se many large predators in the eastern US .Jaguars were also eradicated from the US

[@meminustherandomgooglenumbers]

What’s the reason they eradicated buffalo and beaver?

[@xo2quilt]

Where I live, we have mountain lions, deer, cattle, rattlesnakes, scorpions, coyotes, wolves and bears. Come out to the western United States, where you can experience them all!! I've seen them all as well.

[@SonoraSlinger]

I live in the great American Southwest. And yes, just about every dangerous predator lives here

[@americansmark]

I had a coyote in my yard this morning. It just noticed me and kept its distance. I'm not wortied about it cuz all three of my dogs are far larger.

[@MichaelCrawford-me1rg]

They work in packs - one will lure a dog into the woods, where the rest of the pack is waiting.

[@RESET1776]

I was nearly taken out by a mountain lion a few years ago. At the time I lived just off the river in a wooded area. Went out back at night & didn’t notice there was a lion sleeping on the roof of a car. Literally was face to face with it inside a couple of feet, easily within it’s striking range. I just kept backing up slowly keeping eye contact & it darted off into the woods. Scary stuff! Also, A gentleman who lived down the block from me was killed unloading cattle from his trailer. They spooked slamming the gate into him & when he fell to the floor they trampled him.

[@musicandmoviefan9217]

11:48 a great number of scorpion stings occur when you put your foot into your shoe without checking it first as the scorpions like to crawl into shoes to hang out.

[@gramalinda750]

Okay so yes, cows can be evil. The man in the pool holding up the gator was one of The Gator Boys which was a series on Animal Planet. They rescue gators and run a preserve just for gators. Do you know how many rodents we would have if not for snakes?? The coyote is not a large animal but they can be deadly. The wolf is much larger and is also aggressive. And yes, this is one of the reasons we have weapons. 😉

[@cassandrahepp6445]

A girl I know and her friend were followed by 2 mountain lions while out on a hike. One of them got within 10 ft. They actually made the local news. This happened only about 3 months ago. For the record mountain lions are typically solitary animals. It's likely they were siblings who had recently left mom since they typically stay together for a short while after before going their seprate ways.

[@the_blu_gypsy]

I had to chuckle about the scorpion, I was born and raised in Arizona and as a kid I would play with scorpions and black widows. But I was born in the late 60s so ya. You always give me a good laugh with your reaction to animal videos, thank you 😊 😊😊

[@robertlee9069]

same here...we used to go out hunting rattlesnakes as a kid..spend all day turning over wood..logs whatever. We grew up in a different time my friend.

[@Hassi_81]

Coyotes mostly attack in packs… when in their own, they’re pretty skittish. But always best to avoid because they could be rabid. I live in Vegas, and we see coyotes in the suburbs occasionally

[@KahavaveCAPIPI]

Cows - Keep in mind that there are people whose entire job consists of managing thousands of cows at once. Like, they can hurt you but its pretty rare if you're careful. Deer - Deer are stupid. Great reactions, but incredibly smooth brained. Gators - Gators are chill. I maintain anyone who has ever gotten hurt by a gator was doing something stupid like walking up to it to poke it or not checking large bodies of water before approaching. According to reports Covert (the lady from the video) was literally walking up to it while people were telling her to get away. Kid gets a pass cause he was 2, I don't know if the parents were charged but they should have been for not paying attention. Snakes - All snakes, not just rattlers; watch where you step, keep your eyes and ears open, wear good jeans. They don't want to bite you because they know they can't eat you, its purely defensive. Mountain Lion - They don't go out of their way to attack humans but if you're in their territory the best you can do is back away for a couple hours until it decides you've gone far enough. Don't fight back, don't turn your back on it, don't run. Just steadily back away and keep yourself as big as you can. Alternatively, gun. Coyotes - Pronounce it "Kai-oat". The e is silent. They're one of the 'respect them and you'll be fine' class of animals; they're not just a dirty puppy, they're a wild animal and you have to remember to treat them as such. A coyote would have to be amazingly desperate (or sick but then you have a whole different problem) to go after a human unprovoked. Wolves - I... honestly don't have much advice for this because I don't live in wolf country. Standard wild animal advice I guess; avoid, stay strapped, stay near a car. Might be worth carrying a repellent if you're gonna be camping. Scorpion - Insect proof your house, wear shoes, socks, and jeans outside. Don't have that particular variety, but that's the good advice for preventing small creepy crawlies. Bears - You can usually scare off black bears; those given examples were incredibly atypical. Don't mess with grizzlies; if the gun or mace doesn't scare them off it just makes them angry at you. If you're not able to get to your car fast enough your best option with a grizzly is to literally lie down and let them hurt you for a while. Eventually they'll get bored and leave you alone. Don't run, you'll just die tired.

[@fourgedmushrooms5958]

Yeah I'll stick to the deadly snakes and spiders of Australia. Also most deadly animal in Australia is the European Honey bee.

[@TheSpiralAim]

Got rattlesnakes where I live. Your misconception is that they kill you instantly. Deaths from rattlesnake bites are really rare. They also warn you first... so honestly they are easy to avoid. We also have bark scorpions in our house lol. They hide in your shoes when you go to bed, as a warning.

Tucson here. I've seen 3 coyotes trotting down the road in front of my house late at night. I've also seen havelina. Both are not to be messed with.

[@RockinTheBassGuitar]

To be frank rattlesnakes are easy to avoid and just about every other snake in the area uses them for food so they're not particularly scary. Coyotes on the other hand actually can be found everywhere in the United States including cities. So nobody can actually avoid them. They're typically more of scavengers though so they're not particularly dangerous unless you try to interact with them

[@Clarice-rp7mh]

Not sure where you live. I live in El Paso TX in the Chihuahuan Desert . Out here, the only snake that eats a diamondback rattlesnake is a king snake. Now there are some mammals and birds of prey that eat Diamondbacks. But in this desert you better be aware of this snake at all times. It is the longest rattle snake in the USA, with a recorded record of 8.5 feet. The Western Diamondback is responsible for envenomating more people than any other rattlesnake species in the U.S.

[@RockinTheBassGuitar]

@@Clarice-rp7mh Great Basin Desert near Death Valley. King snakes and garter snakes eat them. The roadrunners and hawks will eat them, and probably other animals I'm not positive of. I've been her a very long time and as I said the rattle snakes are easy to avoid if you pay attention.

[@David-g3r5h]

A rattle snake will let you know when youve come too close

[@ItsMeNanaD71]

Okay I never thought our critters were freaky to foreigners 😂😂. I guess it’s like Australias critters are to me….terrifying! But Aussies laugh at me too 😅😅 We truly grow accustomed to the environments we are raised in & all the scary things that accompany it. I’m going solo camping for a week next month where it’s known to have bears, tarantulas, scorpions, rattlesnakes, mountain lions, & the occasional Bigfoot. Concern about them never crossed my mind, but my besties, Smith & Wesson, always accompany me for the truly scary animals….the humans. Women: NEVER EVER EVER go around a bull “cow” while you’re on your period!!!!!! That’s when they will absolutely chase you because they smell you. I’ve never had a cow chase me, but I have had a bull chase me & that was TERRIFYING. They run really really fast. Fun fact: in Western Oklahoma folks have snake pits in their backyards where they raise rattlesnakes. Then each year we have rattlesnake hunts in the desert & they release the snakes to be hunted. 😱 I tried eating some, I don’t recommend it. Lots of bones & super gristly. A single Coyote isn’t really scary, but you rarely see just one. They run in pacts & that’s when they get scary. I can fight off one, I can’t fight off an entire pack.

[@freshair6201]

There are many people in Mexico who are very poor. They basically live in shacks. The door only covered by a sheet. Many sleep on a mattress on the dirt floor. This is why so many are stung by the scorpions.

[@TnT_F0X]

I'd 1000% rather have a mountain lion run through my backyard than a pack of Wolves. Mountain Lions are big scardy cats... if they know you see them... they run away. Literally saying "HEY! what are you doing!" Out the window will make the lion run off. Wolves are pack animals, got more courage in a group. They'll distract you while the others raid the garbage.

[@Uberbeaster_]

Rattlesnakes are also found in state parks around eastern Tennessee. Several years ago, Timber Rattlesnakes were released into the state parks by wildlife services as a "conservation act". Completely idiotic if you ask me.

[@NerdyNanaSimulations]

So amazing that people are out there trying to kill animals and then are surprised when the animal defends itself. Am I against hunting? No, I've done it myself but lets use common sense to avoid these situations. Alligators are in a lot more states than just Florida, Mississippi, Lousiana, Arkansas as well as others. I don't know about rattlesnakes but I found a copperhead in my house...lol. Husband dealt with it cause I wasn't going near it. Coyotes are pretty common around here.

[@BuckyBarnesNC]

My dad once had to kill a brown bear when we lived in the Rockies. We would hunt ELK, Deer, fish, and all that. My father was a cowboy like a real one. Worked on ranches, all that, wildland firefighter, and hunting guide. Point being we were out while he was guiding this wussy south California guy type. My dad said if you see a bear DO NOT RUN. The guy ran and we had to put it down. This was like a mile from my house on the Rockies. Yeah walking to the bus stop for school in the morning at 11,000 feet above sea level in the mountains can be quite dangerous 😂

[@stephanierando3477]

How nature says Do Not Touch

[@luckyrobinshomestead]

You never remove a dead newborn calf from a cow before it has had time to grieve the loss, and understand the calf is dead. That can take several hours. Unless there is intense predator pressure, just hang back and let her grieve. If it is high, have someone else come out to help distract her while you remove the dead baby. Cattle 101. Cougars are no joke. We had one come down from further up the mountain and started killing some of the sheep from one of the farms. We had to start carrying weapons to the bus stop to keep our kids safe until one of the farmers took him out. We saw him, too, but he was too far away for any of us to get off a shot, even with a scope. This happened more than once. When the bear came, I drove the kids to school along with as many neighbor kids as would safely fit in my van until it was caught. I would see coyotes at work by the dumpsters when I was in college. Usually after we locked up and were in our cars. We carried pepper spray just in case, but they were fat and sassy city coyotes and didn't want a fight, nothing like the lean, hungry rural coyotes who didn't eat regularly. Now those boys were dangerous. Those you'd want to be armed around. With scorpions, not only do you need to wear shoes, you need to check your shoes for scorpions before putting them on every single time. I know people that go out at night with a black light and do checks around their property walls so they can squish scorpions to keep the population down. They show up glowing under black lights so they are easy to find then. Keeps them and their pet animals safer.

Yup I'd pissed on the damn snake, I'm lucky it didn't bite my 'wiener'!!! I learned a valuable lessen that night; "Shine the light BEFORE you get out to piss"!!!...I'll never make that mistake again....

[@kingblanketfort]

Always remember, it's never the animal's fault. It's deforestation by humans that is making their territory smaller and smaller. More urban areas create more opportunities for people to run across animals that are in THEIR natural habitat. It makes me downright SICK to think that people will shoot an animal after it's attacked a person. How about we educate PEOPLE instead of making the animals pay for HUMAN SINS? I will NEVER feel sorry for ANYONE attacked by a wild animal. You fucked around and found out.

It stands there, for a seconds then jumps from a standstill, to the top of the fence, then ONTO THE ROOF of the house next door.

[@alyxgriffen5073]

I used to live at the edge of a small town in the plains of SE Colorado, when I was a kid (age 6-9). My mom used to send me into the back yard to check for rattlers before she'd let my little brother into the ysrd to play. I never saw one, but a big ol' rattler attacked Mom when she was carrying out the trash to the trash cans outside the back fence. Fortunately it lunged for the trashbag instead of my mom, so Mom dropped the bag on it. The old retired gentleman who lived next door saw the commotion, and ambled over with his hoe to kill the snake. (This was in the late 1960's.) Then there was the time, when we lived in another small plains town about 30 miles away, when my brother caught a scorpion in a small jar and brought it home to keep as a pet. He was heartbroken when my dad immediately threw it to the ground and stepped on it. I live in Denver now, the capital city of CO, and coyotes are a big problem in my area. They come into neighborhood areas and grab people's cats and small dogs. There are also rattlesnakes along the hiking/biking trails that run through much of the city, especially near the reservoir in the SE area. We also had a Summer or two, several decades back, where bears were coming down out of the foothills and wandering through suburban neighborhoods.

And about coyotes; some years ago a young aspiring singer named Taylor Mitchell was walking in a forest in Cape Breton; she passed two people going the opposite direction; not even ten minutes later, they heard screaming, and ran back to find her being attacked by two pr three coyotes. Unfortunately she didn't make it.

Upon turning around and heading back to my vehicle, i ran across a set of cougar prints in the light dusting of snow on the ground. It was shadowing me as I walked through the woods. I keep a loud air horn with me as well as my rifle. I don't mind admitting that I fired off one round in the air and used the horn periodically on my way back to my vehicle. I stopped at the closest ranger station to ask about cougar sightings and was told that there had been several in the past week. Yes, it was in Oregon

That gator was certainly handled by the most dangerous animal: Florida Man.... What the guy leaves off about rattlers is that there are several species of rattler. You're very unlikely to die as long get anti venom and them being native, the anti venom isn't hard to get, only issue is knowing the species. Living in Dallas TX I have yet to see a rattler or venomous snake, for most part you are unlikely to run into venomous snakes in a major city. Alone coyote isn't so much dangerous, but Coyote's travel in packs up to 20... Mountain lions are ambush hunters, if you spot one you need to face it and act big and yell to deter it, never turn your back on a mountain lion, they also make a scream that can sound almost human.
