"I noticed a giant ball of police tape in an abandoned house with the door open in the middle of July. Must be Halloween decorations." Lmfao WHAT?? 😂😂😂😂

[@Ownedby]

Lol, if you've ever been around a particular type of Aussie for an extended period of time, this would totally make sense to you.😂

[@Arrusoh]

Some of us just really like Halloween

[@FireStick-nu4pn]

Freaking Aussies… 😂

[@skytheannur6168]

Our protagonist everyone

[@MrMokona14]

As someone who lives in Australia, I can confirm that people set up decorations several months early. Last year, people had christmas decorations up at the start of October ahaha. It happens, so the writer wouldn't be unfair in his assumptions.

[@TheAztecScorpion]

[@cannon3322]

This is different, we need more zoo episodes now 😂

[@madhatimations6205]

Zebras are aggressive, unpredictable, and universally agreed upon to be a zookeeper's least favorite animal to work with.... especially the one's who've lost fingers to them. In contrast, rhinos are gentle, playful, and get zoomies like 2 ton tank puppies and behave like lapdog, even coming when their keepers call their name. They're a zookeeper's favorite animal to deal with.

[@user-digitalfarmgirl]

Rhinos love a good gentle scratching down with a plastic rake, so do tapirs. Zebras are on everyone's menu back home, in good old Africa so they're ornery & combative as all hell.

[@CryptidRenfri]

Because zebras have a lot more to worry about in the wild than rhinos lol. They gotta act crazy and unpredictable to survive.

[@courtneylane7639]

Yea, I was wondering about the validity of the story when she said she formed a bond with a zebra😂.

[@CryptidRenfri]

@@courtneylane7639 most of these stories aren't true. And if this one in particular were, we would've heard about it on the news lol. "Local zoo part of cannibalism and murder ring" or something like that.

[@jessewillis6358]

I knew someone who owned a zebra when I was a kid. It acted like a moody donkey 🫏

back in the eighties two guys thought it would be fun to swim with a polar bear so they both jumped right into the water that bear attacked those guys because the animal didn't want to play with them and those two should have known bears are aggressive animals and not friendly like cats or puppies .

This episode was particularly good!! I’m surprised by those zoo stories! It’s cool to hear from jobs we often idolize or barely hear from! Also that dude who went into the zoo cooler could’ve gotten killed or something. I wonder if the story happened in an Asian country or in Europe.

[@christinehonzik]

Hi I love all of your narrations as i have most of the on Spotify as well as Miss Carmen,wich i love both of y'all! Question for you tho ive noticed that both of you say this world is a strange one! Are you guys related or just best buds? Or both . Either way love the video and glad you've interduced her and freaky folk lore. I also enjoy her in destination terror too! 😊

[@user-digitalfarmgirl]

OMG random scrolling & only 1 hour late. I e worked with animals all of my life. Some were pretty dangerous looking back.. Timber wolves & African spotted wildcats... understanding animal body language & making sure it's understood that you are an alpha. The more simpler, yet still dangerous life forms, such as Blue Ringed Octopus & African King scorpions, extreme caution was always observed. Used VERY😮 long tongs for feeding.

[@Arrusoh]

I just cant believe the blue door one. Now way it wouldn't have been all over the news. Even if it wasn't and English speaking country

[@Prettypoisonswitch]

OK freezer story. I have no idea how op jumped to cannibals as a first thought? They run a zoo with carnivores they have to feed. Which gets very expensive. Murder victims maybe, but I'm less likely to believe in the murder victims theory. The work that would be involved in both committing and trying to cover up the crimes would be extensive . You also risk authorities starting to notice the amount of people going missing has drastically increased. I am more inclined to believe it was likely grave robbing instead. Less work involved than murder especially cleaning up of evidence ect. Could have had dealings with a shady funeral home selling them bodies that are supposed to be cremated/ buried. Horrible but some have been caught doing worse. I MAY have thought a little too much about this 😅

[@verdellcouncil6616]

The zoo is cool

Police tape?

I cannot believe what happened in that zoo. Mario and Hannah are horrible people. You should be proud of yourself; you stopped them from killing innocent people. Prison isn't enough for the crimes they committed, but don't fear that Jesus will make them pay, as he said: "Truly, I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." They will burn for their sins, and God will reward you for your courage. I will pray for you and your family. 🙏🙏🙏

[@rafaeldeus9249]

Thank you for your prayers and support during this difficult time. It's heartening to know that there are people like you who stand with me in the face of such evil. I find solace in the belief that justice will prevail, whether in this life or the next. Your prayers for my family are deeply appreciated, and I trust in the power of faith to guide us through these trials. May God's grace continue to shine upon us all.

[@peke100]

Thanks for your thoughts, but honestly, I don't buy into the whole divine punishment thing. Mario and Hannah messed up big time, sure, but let's not pretend like there's some cosmic scoreboard keeping track. As for the guy's actions, it was just a matter of doing what needed to be done in the moment. Prayer won't change anything, but I'm sure he appreciates the sentiment.

[@UnternedGentleman]

[@YanniceHolland]

​@@peke100My dear friend, it seems to me that you feel lost in this world. I don't know if you are a Christian or not, but fear not. Jesus won't judge you for being lost but will cheer you on the moment you regain your faith. We are just small beings in this huge world, and without Jesus, we have no purpose. I feel so sorry for you, and I hope you find your faith.
