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...

I used to live in a place where 2 alligators turned up dead. When they cut them open, dozens of dogs’ flea collars were inside. They ate enough dogs that they poisoned themselves.

Knew a kid in Japan that got tangled up by a box jellyfish, his dad had to rip it off of him to save him and got badly stung in the process. Both made it out, but the kid went into cardiac arrest. Pretty scary situation. He’s got scars all over his arms and legs from the stings and the dad has scars all over his hands and arms. Both are fine and doing well today.

"404 on your birth certificate" this guy has so many euphemisms for death and he could probably make 10 more. every one euphemism he makes is 10 more he plans to use. fuse funny with the joker level charm like it's Dragon Ball Z and you get this dude

As an Australian, you missed a famous one; *The Sydney Funnel Web Spider.* What is fun about its venom is that it only affects one mammal - *primates.* Now there aren't any primates native to Australia (thankfully) which means that it's specifically evolved to merc Humans, which leads to the obvious question; _what did the Aboriginal people do to that spider to piss it off_ so much that it developed a *venom specifically designed to kill Humans??* [Either that or its the wildest evolutionary coincidence ever… or God's middle finger] This is an obsession of a friend of mine who moved here as a child [oh, I live in Sydney, this is my local wildlife], for some reason he was very concerned about a venomous spider _named after the city_ his family were emigrating to.

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.

Here in Brazil we have Jaguars (Onças). My grandfather lived in Mato Grosso for a while and lost two friends for that animal. He was so afraid of the animal that if it appeared on television or saw it in a magazine, he would change the channel and break out in a cold sweat. He said that their attack is something so grotesque that he could never forget it in his life.

The number of synonyms for death this guy has will never cease to amaze me.

A part of me wants to visit Australia, but an even bigger part of me doesn't, because of all the wildlife that exists there.

Oh, added fun fact I learned in Australia - crocs can see color! Also they’re attracted to color. Especially bright color, like a bright orange vest to keep you afloat after a boat capsizes.

I once read/heard that if you’re ever locked in the jaws of an alligator or crocodile, put your fingers in their nostrils as far as they can go. This makes it difficult, or even impossible, for them to breath through their nose, which will lead to them instinctively opening their mouth to breath.

It's incredible how beautiful nature is, but also just how merciless it is if you're not both smart and lucky.

One of the scariest things about nature is that the most poisonous things also happen to be the smallest.

The thing I love must about your channel is that you don't just do a shitty "Top 10" list with little detail on each number. You give specific examples, show clips of animals being the absolute worst nightmare fuel they can be, and talk about the effects of their habits via recorded human/animal interaction. Just wanted to let you know you do a fantastic job and I've learned so much from your videos - like why I will never step foot within 200 miles of Australia.

My mum lived in Australia for her entire early life before leaving to travel the world. She’s told me the box jellyfish is the only thing she’s ever been legitimately scared of as an Australian. And because I live here now, I know I’m just never gonna go near a body of water in the north

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.

As an Australian who has been stung by a box jelly, he's correct when he says it's agonizing. It's pretty rare and you have to be unlucky to get stung by one. Most of us exercise caution when we go swimming and there are signs up for when it's stinger season. Just be careful really

My toxic trait is thinking I could beat these animals in a fight 💀

How many ways can you think of saying a person dies?! Love, love, love your dialog. Your a great author and researcher. Good job!

Apparently during WWII, Japanese soldiers fled the Battle of Ramree Island, and into the swamps. However, saltwater crocodiles allegedly proceeded to murder and devour 1,000 soldiers that fled into the swamp according to Indian soldier Jack Jacob. It was also regarded as the worst animal attack in recorded history.

It's quite impressive how this dude can say "to kill you" in so many unique & creative ways. A true Poet.🤘

9:57 fucking killed me lmfao Ngl the content is awesome but the jokes are what keep me coming back, you're just too good

13:16 I can just picture him bringing my corpse and there are a bunch of crocodiles in suits raising their hands saying "I bid 90 salmon for that human" "No I bid 5 zebras for that human body".

Honestly, mad respect to the guy who willingly died from a boomslang bite.

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.

Literally this dude is so much fun to listen to, WAY MORE than it looks. I've been watching him forever non stop and he entertains me more than it Shud. Great vid btw.

The fact that the boomslang can be found in my backyard is scary for me

The movie Blackwater is based on a crocodile in Australia that not only actively hunted for 3 teens, but after getting one of them it came back and waited at the base of a tree on the bank of a river for the other 2 teens to get tired and fall out of the tree. They were only rescued a few days in by a rescue helicopter because if anyone went to the base of that tree, they weren't gonna leave the water. That's the most terrifying thing about crocodiles for me, not just the carnage, but the intent. They will wait days for that juicy lunch.

The most real dude. Even the shameless plug for a game was executed with class and realism. Been a while since I haven’t skipped through a video to avoid adverts. Your work’s so good, thanks for uploading

You are an amazing human. The eloquent and intelligent way you speak of animals and history is a gift to the world.

Friendly reminder to protect the sea turtles. They eat the box jellyfish! 🐢

11:58 if you play Horizon Zero Dawn, there is a machine in the game called the Snapmaw which is based on the crocodile, and if you try to hold it down with ropes, when it's in water it will do that roll to break free. I know this is an oddly specific reference but I thought it was cool that they included this detail lol.

My dude, as an Australian, I'm way more afraid of an irukandji jellyfish than a box. At least you have a chance of seeing the box. The irukandji are smaller than a $2 coin, completely transparent when in the water, and if they don't end your life they (and this is not exaggeration) make you wish they did. Edit: a'ight, fair play. Should have watched the whole thing before commenting. I'll get back in my corner.

If teachers in school would have had this level of sarcastic humor I'm sure we all would have paid more attention. Your videos are always great and informative.

Honestly I was surprised that the stonefish and Inland Taipan weren’t on here

11:39 - “those are all eyes, and they’re all looking at you” Thank you, CasGeo, for this delightfully nightmarish image. I no longer fear horror movies

Mad respect to those respectful animals who at least warn you that they could kill you easier than you could solve a 4 piece puzzle.

Yes, I will say I enjoyed the sequel to this 2pt series

I just found your channel a couple of days ago, and I've been binge watching ever since. I absolutely love nature, and wildlife, and I'm a huge fan of intelligent sarcasm. You are so proficient at combining the two, that I have had to monitor my viewing time. I had major abdominal surgery last week, and the laughing is having ill affects on my wounded gut. You are literally bad for my health, but good for my moral!!! I'll never stop watching!! Even if it 'cancrls my life subscription'. 😉❤️

"I'm gonna make this real quick, cause I wanna get RIGHT to the trauma-" DUDE. XD

As an Australian, you get used to being slightly wary of snakes and spiders in the backyard, bush etc and they aren’t really a problem for the most part. As well as being cautious in the ocean. But even though I’m in no danger of being attacked by a saltwater croc because of where I live, they will always be a source of true primal fear for me.

One other thing I learned about box jellyfish - most jelly fish just kinda float and ride current to let food come to them. Box jelly fish will chase you if they see you. I dunno if that ups the place on the list or if I just missed it in this video but there's an extra drop of nightmare fuel if yalls need it.

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.

as a person who suffers from Scyphophobia severely, this video made me significantly more scared f the ocean. keep it up, you're actually really nice to listen to, even if the things you're talking about make me want to turn into a twitter hashtag

FUN FACT: 12:10 this video clip was showing a regular dad at the zoo with his kids jump in and save an employee from the infamous death roll after a gator decided to make her arm a snack. The full video is awesome. Dadzilla had no experience with gators but still jump in the enclosure an mounted the gator like a boss. Because of his actions the female trainer got to keep her arm with minimal damage. I definitely recommend watching the entire video of the incident.

I love how creative this guy is in his many many *many* synonyms for die.

Clint's Reptiles has some great interviews with the keeper who got death-rolled, how she kept her hand, and why it reacted the way it did.

Your humor sandwiched within your animal bios is why I love watching your videos! ❤️❤️

Love the beaver serotonin at the end to make up for all the horrific, disturbing things I’ve intentionally watched in this video.

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.

You gotta do more of this list. It’s quite an interesting series. Love how you introduce a few underrated yet deadly animals

I remember when I first heard about the Box Jellyfish as a child on Animal Planet's The Most Extreme and it terrified me so much I didn't go in the ocean at all that summer. Now mind you I live on the east coast of the United States so there are no Box Jellies here, but I missed hearing that part because I was a BIT preoccupied with the fact that the things are practically invisible and if they sting you it's probably already too late.

that photo with all of the crocodile eyes actually has a cool story. a photographer at a gator sanctuary in Florida was taking photos. one night he took that photo and an alligator came out of nowhere and took the camera. when they found the camera at the bottom of the lake some 15 years later that was the photo that was found on the camera before the bite.

Dude, you are seriously one of the funniest, wittiest, wise-crackingest KZfaqrs out there! While I sometimes have to rewind..."What did he just say?"...it's always worth it. If you don't mind, just how many euphemisms for death and dying do you know? It's truly phenomenal! Great work, my friend!

Hey. I was really sad and then i watched a whole bunch of your episodes and i realized i was feeling a lot better! Youre a panacea for my being! Thank you!

I've seen that video with croc and the zebra and it's more a case of the zebra getting half it's face twisted off. The zebra is still very much alive for several seconds after that happens, too. Funny thing is, the body plan we associate with crocodilians didn't start with them. There was an amphibian known as Prionosuchus, that was doing croc things several million of years before the first crocodilian would appear. It's slender jaws indicate it was likely a primary fish eater, but seeing as they could get up to *30 feet* long, it could probably still end you.

You remind me of this show on Animal Planet way back in, I think 2005? Not sure if it's still running but it was called like Top Ten Extreme and it went through like deadliest animals, most venomous, and some others. I loved that show and I love your channel. So thank you for reminding me of an albeit morbid but happy part of my childhood. :) Edit: Also they recently discovered a giant jellyfish! Look up the giant phantom jellyfish, it's beautiful and absolutely reinforces my fear of the ocean.

I am listening to you in the ICU. I appreciate your work so much. I thank you for your video material. Please don't stop your great work.

Appreciate the time you take to study record n edit. This is awesome work. Great job.

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.

Just wanted to drop a note of appreciation of this channel. As a life long outdoorsman and self taught naturalist I try to tell people that nature is not as portrayed by a certain mouse based movie studio. Love the reality, humor, and elocution here.

If say you should be on TV BUT they would edit your style so much, it wouldn't be you anymore. I love that you are so intelligent and so relatable. Thank you for your work.

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.

I think anyone living in Australia among the most dangerous animals automatically gets the +5 health upgrade.

You are a genius in your writing skills! I could listen to you narrate all day! 😊

I like legit stumbled into your channel like a year ago maybe... and dude, I LOVE your vids.... You are soooooo fun and educational!

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.

This guy has unique talent to make zoology seem interesting to Gen Z.

Another wonderfully educational and delightfully funny visit.

My fear of the ocean has skyrocketed. Loved the video ofc and didn't regret watching it. But I'll just stick with pools thank you very much.

7:51 was either a huge mistake on the snakes end or a really lucky escape he was going for. i laughed at how it didn't realize it was falling

I can imagine an alien version of this channel talking the same about humans. This walking hellspawn doesn't look like much, but it can put your entire species on a shirt. Which is exactly what it does to a dozen species a day without even trying. And if you don't get turned into past-tense by them, they might make you wish you did because they have a body count of 1.3 trillion a year. Oh, and did I mention that they are warming up the entire globe by 1 degree every century and have tens of thousands of stored apocalypse weapons that they could use to eradicate everyone at once whenever they feel like it? Or that they can put you 6 feet under from across the planet and then proceed to use those very same weapons against each other on a daily basis? Yeah, I forgot about that.

I LIKE HOW YOUNG HE IS BUT SO KNOWLEDGEABLE THAT'S THE TYPE OF YOUTH WE NEED NOW DAYS

Got ads during my play through, so… not demonetized. 13:46 And for real, someone needs to give you a legit show on Netflix or something. You got the brains for it. And your deadpan personality is just perfect for the content you put out. You really should reach out to Netflix or something like that.

As an aussie, I can safely say that tourists really tempt crocodiles. Hanging their towels over the warning signs and going for a swim.

"If you're pregnant, you might just get a visit from that young lady, Ms. Carry". Damn, I had to hold in my laughter to save myself from going to hell

Really enjoy your work. Thanks.

i’m glad you’ve made it bro we started on tiktok and now your are massive

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.

Damn, that 404 is gonna go over a lot of people's heads but that's a quality joke. Box Jelly's are ridiculous. If you do survive, people scream for days - UNDER a lot of anesthesia.

8:32 what's interesting about baby snakes is that they often have not developed the ability to control how much venom they inject so they often inject a much higher load than adults.

Your skill with words is something else, you’ll be speaking about something scary, and it will be fun learning about it

Whoooo! Always nice to have SA animals on lists. The Boomslang might be more lethal but a bigger concern is mostly any other venomous snake, Puffadders unalive you due to the sheer amount of venom they inject, mambas (like the black mamba) are often aggressive and can strike close to the heart and chest. 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. They can launch themselves outta the water if they want to pretty damn high up and if that jaw locks on to you there won't be anything left of you to find

Boomslang snake: go away pls Jaguar: eh ima just leave Crocodile: your trial of life ends right *here* and *now*

Just came across your channel today. I really like what you’re doing here.

Thank you for always making my day😁❤️much love from kenya

Btw crocodiles have one of the most powerful and robust immune system in the world as they haven't had to change physically. Because of this they are able to remain healthy even with gaping wounds in water that could leave you sick just by breathing near it Bonus trivia: the bite force is roughly equivalent to a semi trailer slamming down on you... Per square inch

That was cool! Again I have to suggest a Pleistocene episode, specifically about the massive range of Spotted Hyenas (all of Eurasia and Africa), hippos (as far north as Britain), and just how many late Pleistocene proboscideans there were and how widespread they were. Or, a lineup of North American Pleistocene carnivores would be neat. Unless the next video is wholesome, in which I’d definitely recommend teaching us (your viewers) how natural/rewilding grazing works and why it is important.

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 💯

Bro you are the best at giving commentary explanations 😂 man I bet you make one heck of a friend

Boomslang does literally mean tree-snake, but worth noting that a few of the images are only boomslangs in that sense - one rather small-eyed image is of a green mamba; very different venom and much lower survival rates. Also, outside of RSA, boomslang bites are often treated with warfarin, as the specific antivenom is expensive and hard to come by (and polyvalent A.V. is ineffective).

I got stung by a box jellyfish in Thailand which is crazy because I actually live in Australia. I was eleven and it only took 90 to make my heart stop, seconds that is. Luckily we were near the shore and my dad is a firefighter so he was able to resuscitate me. 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. One time I got a hair wrapped around my leg in the pool and because it was so long and felt so close to a tentacle I freaked the fuck out, nearly drowned and refused to go back in pools for like 6 months.

Your play with words are fire my dude. I love it.

Smooth bro....info, commercial back to the info...Respect!

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.

I come here for two things. The animal facts and the amazing nicknames for animals and other things this guy comes up with

For anyone visiting the state of New South Wales, Australia... 11:16 - that's Elvis, the star attraction at the Australian Reptile Park in Somersby. I've been several times and he is much more impressive in person. Fun fact about the Reptile Park; they developed some of the first antivenoms for snake and spider bites (the NSW resident Funnel-Web in particular). They are still the sole supplier of the raw material needed for such antivenom. Since developing the funnel-web antivenom, there hasn't been a death associated with that spider bite since at least 1981, if memory serves. There haven't been any spider bite related deaths since then at all, I'm pretty sure.

Had too many Boomslangs by my parents house as a kid. Accidentally bumped into them hanging from trees and nearly stepped on them so many times growing up.

Fun fact: the world’s largest crocodile before his death in 1997 went by the name of Gomek. He was known for his exceptional ability of tossing nutria but even more RP with his tolerance of people. Feeders of Gomek were allowed to go into the enclosure and get as close as 1 meter from him (a range normally considered suicidal with most large crocodiles) without any fear of attack. While feeders still used long tongs to feed Gomek, he was generally considered to be a "tame" crocodile.
