Jason might not be far off when he said the hairless raccoon was a chupacabra. According to Wikipedia (which cites the book “Tracking the Chupacabra” by Benjamin Radford, and the article “Disfrazado el chupacabras” by Miried González Rodríguez) “Sightings [of the chupacabra] in northern Mexico and the southern United States have been verified as canids afflicted by mange.” While not a canid, raccoons can be argued to be superficially canid-like, and it’s certainly possible that throughout history some number of people have misidentified hairless raccoons as small chupacabras (other than Jason 😜).

I grew up around elephants in Zimbabwe and while they often would posture with their ears out we would just accept that warning and stop or maybe back out of their pathway a bit while they passed. Even when there were calves with the herds as long as you were calm and didn't come toward them, they left you alone. However, I once had the distinct misfortune of approaching the herd of what was believed to be the largest elephant bull in Zimbabwe (one of the last 'super tusker' elephants) when that bull was in musk. We immediately recognized our mistake and turned around, but like Clint said they want to fight everything during musk. He charged our vehicle for about a kilometer despite us being well away from the herd. Elephants are surprisingly fast for their size and in an old bush jeep in high brush we struggled to get distance between us.

I worked with a tiger in a zoo once. When I saw it in person for the first time I broke out into a cold full body sweat, immediate fight or flight reaction. They are one of those things that you don't realize how big they are until you're less than 4ft away from it. The keepers also had a prior incident where the tiger ripped thru one of its private enclosure fences like it was paper. Beautiful creatures but so terrifying and should absolutely stay in the wild.

I remember having that same physical reaction when I, years ago, entered the alligator enclosure at one of our National Zoos and one of the animals started to roar, that deep, deep, loud sound coming from the depth of its throat….at the exact moment I was literally in the doorway. And I immediately felt this primal fear! Which is of course absolutely not logically explainable, since I had lived my whole life in a big city in the Netherlands: impossible to encounter a crocodile or alligator anywhere else than in a zoo… So the effect must have been one of those ‘ingrained fears’ that humans are born with, after centuries of evolution it is STILL there. AMAZING!!

She’s learned that if she doesn’t grab the pieces of chicken and just groans and chatters about it eventually the handler will just give it to her without her, having to put any effort into it. I think they really don’t want her jumping up anymore to get it though. She’s so old. Such a beautiful animal. It’s crazy to only stand a couple feet away from her. Her paws are as big as my head lol

Calm, non threatening, but also I’ll put up a fight if needs be energy is a must when dealing with an (wild) elephant. Calm vibes won’t help if there is any intention to hurt the animal. If that elephant had read the sitch wrong and that guy was a poacher it would have been dead. It’s life or death. Likely, it helped that there werent a lot of them, just one guy with a stick (and someone with a camera), if there had been more it might have read the sitch as more threatening and attacked.

About 20 years ago, a tiger was spotted in my small rural American town. People got pictures of it, and it was in the news. It was very alarming, but everyone eventually stopped talking about it. I learned what happened from a family friend who was a big game hunter. Apparently, a member of his hunting club, was some how able to get this tiger, illegally, for the purpose of hunting it, and it escaped. The story goes that the tiger killed some livestock, and a few hunters waited for it to come back and killed it. They had access to a backhoe and were able to bury it. It’s really scary to think that someone could have died because some jerks wanted to illegally hunt a tiger.

My uncle once had an encounter with a wild gorilla male. He initially froze in shock when this huge ape rapidly approached him up to an arm length, but once it came close, he for some reason extended his hand and tried to introduce himself… yes, to a literal wild gorilla. (One of those brain short-circuit under stress reactions.) That ill-mannered gorilla completely ignored his hand though and instead briskly grabbed a colourful little bag of oranges he was holding in his other hand to quickly storm off with his loot. Later he (the gorilla) was seen happily munching away the oranges, while the bag had become a stylish new addition to this sharp if a little savage dresser’s hat collection. Unquestionably, every dandy in furs needs a proper orange bag hat, so he was completely in the right to enrich his wardrobe (and his breakfast) with Uncle’s fruit bag; who, as a polite and generous hooman in awe of Mr. Gorilla’s impeccable fashion sense, gladly yielded it. I like to think he was more than fairly compensated with this story though.

Also I read a collection of stories from forest monks in Thailand prior to European arrival. They considered elephants a significant threat as most other animals will not molest a monk meditating under a tree, however elephants would randomly kill monks. The forest monks did have a high appreciation and affection for the intelligence of cobras. Possibly partly as a meditating monk is a nice place to curl up and stay awhile.

Thai natives say elephants do possess an equal if not greater risk to people than tigers. Those venturing into the wilderness in areas frequented by tigers will often wear human face masks on the back of their heads. The reason for this being that tigers prefer catching their prey unaware and the rear-facing masks act as a deterrent to a tiger scoping them out as potential prey. Some people also paint rear-facing eyes on their cow’s backsides for the same reason! The herper Rupert (of “Rupert’s Reptiles” on YT) goes wandering all around the jungles in Thailand -alone & in a group apparently unconcerned by the possibility of tiger attacks. The diversity of species there is totally amazing! He also is currently organizing tours -perhaps consider contacting him as he seems to know all the hot spots for herping. TBH, I’d take what Chandler says with a grain considering the result of his recent careless free-handling of wild cobras in India. His cavalier, impetuous nature is not setting the best example for reptile keepers with organizations like FWC, etc..

The most likely explanation is that man-eaters are sick or injured tigers, unable to kill anything stronger than a human, as it's thought that tigers don't like human meat. There's two exceptions however, some tigers took a liking in human meat during wars after eating many corpses, and in the Sundarbans, between India and Bangladesh, there's so much tigers that even healthy tigers attacked humans. However, those attacks have dropped considerably these last years due to better management from the local authorities (only three people per year are killed, versus fifty or sixty a year before ^^).

Fun fact: there are two different groups of rodents called "mole rats" that evolved convergently! The mole rat in that video is a spalacid mole rat, which are also called blind mole rats because their eyes are not just small, but completely covered over by skin. They live in Eurasia and are more closely related to actual rats and mice than to the other group called "mole rats". That second group is formed by the naked mole rat and bathyergid mole rats (or blesmols). They are, as you note, African in origin, and are more closely related to guinea pigs and porcupines!

I'm guessing you mean old world porcupines, because old world and new world porcupines are parallel evolution like the two types of mole rat. And for that matter European moles and Africa golden moles are also two different groups of animal that evolved into the same niche with a similar body plan.

" . . . related to guinea pigs . . ?" Yeh, that makes sense, considering the noises it was making. My guinea pig Maverick would grunt/squek like that. He was a funny little dude, had the most beautiful, long, flowing mullet the eighties ever witnessed, was totally blind and had a pair of nuts bigger than mine. He was called Maverick because he zoomed around like a little rocket - being blind didn't slow him down, he had a seeing-eye-bunny friend who lived with him...

Oh, this was delightful! The elephant video reminded me of an encounter I had when I was on safari in Kenya in the 90s. My group was in a safari van, and we were photographing a family of elephants, including a teeny baby that didn't even have tusks yet. One of our group accidentally used the flash on his camera and it spooked them, and the adults flared their ears at us. The baby *freaked* and came at the van in full charge, and actually nearly skidded into us (our guide pointed out later that this was the one moment we were in actual danger, because if the baby *had* skidded into us it could have been hurt and then we would have had a bunch of *angry* adult elephants on our hands). There was this moment when we could see the wheels turning and the "ohhhh, this thing is much bigger than I thought it was" on the baby's face even as it never stopped moving, just kept running as it turned around and galumphed right back to its mama's side. 😂 Adorable and terrifying memory!

There is a song here called "into the forest". When, deep in the forest, the tiger asks him if he is scared, the person answers "still better than to meet heartless people". I tend to agree.

I love gorillas too. I used to really enjoy the SF Zoo because it was the only place in the Bay Area that had gorillas. As part of my Anthro course I spent a lot of time there observing them. I was not a bio science major (fine arts/social sciences) but have loved zoology specifically primates ( huge anthro enthusiast) since childhood. My favorite class trips for my drawing class were to the zoo. I sat & drew the gorillas for a long while & they got very curious about what I was doing & came up to the glass observation area to check me out. I showed them what I was drawing & could see the intelligence in their eyes. Kind of amazing interaction. Apparently because I spent long periods at each enclosure & had a clip board (small drawing board) people assumed I worked at the zoo & kept asking me questions. People are too noisy, fidgety & impatient when visiting the zoo to really see the animals. My idea of a great time is an uncrowded weekday spent drawingi at the zoo. Every city we've lived in we have been members & supporters of the local zoo & museums.

Idk why KZbin recommended this to me but I am so excited it did. This was awesome, please do more of these! From a fellow snake and reptile lover 🫶🏻💜

Absolutely loved this video Clint and Crew! Loved that Clint would go off into random extra information and how happy and intrigued he seemed to be. It was just a lovely video.
