Black bears are easily frightened, and cats are weird little things because they sometimes just suddenly refuse to show any kind of fear and just fucking run up and smack things 100 times their weight in the face, so a lot of animals that expect things to be scared of them, get so confused by cats because they're just so aggressive sometimes, and they react on instinct and flee. Brown bears are another story though.

Australian here. I remember while living in New South Wales, someone killed a king brown snake that had apparently taken up residence under my caravan. I wasn't anywhere near as upset about it as I probably should have been. Funnelweb spiders are the only Australian animals that I am genuinely afraid of, because I think they really hate humans. Their venom specifically targets humans and higher primates; it is harmless to most other animals.

I went on a vacation to Italy. Lots of my tour group were from Australia. Me being from the US, I had lots of questions about the "deadly" things in Australia. They said we have lived there all our lives and we are fine. They in turn said that they were in fear of visiting the US because they were afraid of getting shot and killed! After being with them for a week, Australia is on my vacation bucket list for 2025. They gave me lots of info and places to visit. I'm hoping to spend 2 or 3 weeks there!

I've seen many posts on reddit saying the same. What if magic exists and Earth is in a large magic void area where no magic or life could exist. One day, humans find a way out and learn they achieved the impossible, and everyone is terrified that something could exist without magic. Or if life exists, but it dies a painful slow death if it contacts the galaxies' greatest danger, water. So, they believe humans are a living form of death and avoid at all costs.

[@SeanMirrsen]

"Space Australia" could've been more interesting. Nobody comes here because we're so far out of the way. Life here is vastly different because we've had no normalizing factors. At some point some huge ancient empire decided to use the planet as a dumping ground for prisoners, accidentally uplifted some local creatures, then fell apart and everyone forgot about it. So... we are what we are now.

Is there a book version of this? As I wouldn't mind reading more of it

[@craimaxblack]

So, this is a real SCI Fi story?

[@Iskelderon]

She didn't even get to the eternal battle between sperm whales and giant squids in the depths of our oceans, animals the size of a small yacht hunting each other.

[@devonpayne2509]

Aliens: "How did you survive?" Julie: "Well, a couple of these species we almost drove to extinction once." Aliens: *sigh with relief* Julie: "Thats... not a good thing." Aliens: "Wha-" Julie: "Yeah, so-" *skips to a slide about wolves* "These are carnivorous animals that hunt in packs and are very effective at taking down larger prey, like these." *flips to a moose* Aliens: *gasp* Julie: "In our history we thought they were evil supernatural creatures from our religious mythologies, and so we eradicated them. But then, decades later, we realized that they were kiiiiinda important to the ecosystem so we took the few that remained, breed them, and reintroduced them to the wild. Now we protect them." Aliens: "WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT!?" Julie: "I think the more important question is, how the heck did you all become so technologically advanced without these dangers? We developed because we had to adapt to our dangerous world. Eventually we learned to adapt it to us. So what was your path to that like?"

for me.. show them a hippo. And tell them that these are HERBIVORES that are still killing machines

[@SilverJ17]

I honestly figured it was going to be an Orca going for the Seal when she brought up them. Death by shark kinda feels merciful for a seal, at least when compared to the Orca way.

[@brayachdragonbane7529]

bot hare merciful compared to a leopard seal getting a hold of penguins... because lets not forget, this is earth, even the 'cute' things are horrifying and deadly... hell the most successful hunter, when determined by % of hunts that secure kill, is that teeny black cat that looks like a kitten and jumps like 7 feet in the air to grab birds... with an almost 90% kill rate

I've watched quite a few stories like this on YT in the last year or so, and so far this is the only one I actually found quite entertaining. Well done.

[@svenguinee1072]

This was absolutely brilliant! That last sentence made me laugh so hard that I almost fell of my seat.

[@theSheighani42]

I've seen this story before, and I love how they're all so civilized to where tiny things are such a threat... 😂 So wait, maybe THAT'S why we haven't had alien contact yet? 🤔 -Alien language translated for Earthling convenience- "So, there's like this other sentient race here, and we like, really, TOTALLY don't know if they're hostile or not. So we kinda have to, like, land somewhere a little ways from their habitations, get feel for them ya know?" They land, get mauled by the wildlife or barely make it out alive, heavy casualties, something 😂😅

I must be having a slow day. I never saw that coming.

Given that I've never once listened to any sort of story video I was surprised this popped up in my feed. Definitely worth a sub! Thanks YT algorithm :)

[@JamesBannon-fz6qo]

Reminds me of something: Though I walk through the valley of death I shall fear no evil ‘Cause I’m the meanest son-of-a-bitch in the valley. 😀😅

[@DarkCT]

that was wonderful, the fact these beasts for others is just a walk in the park for her? the reaction to just snow...

[@LordFoxxyFoxington]

A good story, but the only issue I have is the idea that snow does not exist on other planets outside of labs.

[@JB-yb4wn]

Could be one of those warm planets close to their star.

I almost had to cry at he end , so beautifull

The teacher can’t seem to distinguish what a pet is in Earth terms. And he’s the one getting an attitude.

Did anyone else cry near the end?

There are two solutions to meeting a terrifying monster: Run away or become its friend. And that's the difference in wolves and domestic dogs.

This would make a great movie. Maybe not feature length, but short, episode like. I enjoyed this A LOT. =D

Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

I've had a rough few weeks. This popped in my feed today and I clicked play. As I'm sitting here listening I noticed I was smiling, then grinning and by the end of it I was genuinely feeling happy. THANK YOU!

[@astrofan1993]

I honestly expected Julie to say that humans were the most dangerous species on Earth. And it's frankly true. We possess the capability to reduce the entire planet to a burning, lifeless cinder many times over. And we go to war, slaughtering each other by the thousands, for the pettiest of reasons; and in many cases, for no reason at all. At least when wild animals kill each other, there's a reason behind it (either for food or to protect their territory). We do it simply because we can. It's actually quite the sobering thought. We are still a long way off from being like humanity from the Star Trek universe, where we were (mostly) able to shed our violent tendencies in favor of peaceful exploration, scientific advancement, and cultural exchange. Ironically, we're only a couple years away from the point in the Star Trek timeline where we enter our darkest period, which lasts for many decades afterwards, well into the 22nd Century. One can only hope that such a horrific period does not become reality.

[@vertigo72480_official]

"Well out of all the animals I showed you on my presentation, I didn't show you the most dangerous. It's humans, we hunt each other for stupid reasons and even unleashed the power of four or five suns on other humans once. So yeah, most of those animals are more afraid of us then we are of them."

[@dienocrown3351]
