Safety is one of the BIGGEST differences between Germany and the USA! 😳

Totally off topic but can you do an episode on the German marching song Erika the origin and how it became associated with the German army

Well, our ancestors killed off everything in the last 2000 years or so…^^

The wildlife is my favorite thing about germany

I always explain distance in time for this reason.

True! And the lack of trains like in other countries, makes it even more overwhelming for visitors to the US.

That's something I never would have guessed. Are there no parks or large open areas where there might be wildlife? Or is not much native to Europe?

@@ahapkamy theory is that Europe has been really industrialized and sparsely settled so much for the 2 thousand years people have settled there that the animals found safe refuge away from all of the crazy moments of european infrastructure, warfare, and stuff akin to human civilization. Meanwhile America and more specifically the U.S. got a ton of national parks going on and has a ton of untouched, undeveloped, and otherwise cared for land by the native American tribe's reservations who many of them have mastered taking care of their land

Lets just say we've been very good at hunting down our wild life and cutting down our forests. It's getting better though. Wolves can be found pretty much everywhere on the continent except for the British Isles. Spain, France, Italy, the Balkans and the Nordic countries have bears. Deer (roe and red) and wild boar are everywhere. Moose can be found in the Nordic and Baltic states and ibex in mountainous areas. European bison and Iberian lynx are sadly still critically endangered. The numbers seem a lot lower than in North America though, so it's not as likely that you'll run in to them. (And yes off course we have national parks here 😉)

Well the Cougars in the bars can be mean if you don't buy them drinks

@@ahapka There's plenty of wildlife - but nothing big. Where I live, the biggest wild mamal is.. a fox. There might be a wood within 50km with deer, wild boars, or even otters, but those usually don't live close to the bigger population centers. In all of germany, theres around 1-2000 wolves, and around 0 bears. There's a few in neighbouring countries, but even they don't have that many.

That’s definitely true but I guess everyone does that when traveling foreign countries. I can’t tell you how many Americans and Australians say they travelled Germany and they only went to Berlin

@@numivis7807 ok, it's a true fact. Many a mericans don't even have a passport. Why is that you ask?. Well, this one country call america as oceans on three sides on the country. Let's not talk a place like hawaii. Inside america we tons of lakes and rivers for boating. Have you even heard about Minnesota 'land of a thousand lakes' and again is only one state inside america. For families to go boating or jetskising in america. So, one no reason to leave america. Let's no talk about families having pools in their back yards. This what you when fly across the southern states of america. Again america is the strongest economy in the world and the number one economy in the world. While the rest of the world's economy are right now in a recession. If american do travel into europe. Here's the ton 3 countries they like. First is england then france and then ltaly. Right now across america. You will see americans jumping in their trucks with their boats and jetskis's heading to the many lakes, oceans across america. No other country in the world can duplicate what america has. Just one spot in america 'boating in miami' videos do these people in those videos like their not having a great time and again. This is only one the tons of spots americans are getting in their boats and going to.

I think we have a few snakes but only very little ones that are not dangerous

We know about that already.

@@elaine5556 Cool

German Bears are extinct since a long time ago And our snakes almost all European snakes aren’t venomous. The Central European climate is in general not the best breeding ground for Cold-Blooded reptiles its pretty difficult to have a metabolism which depends almost entirely on heat trough sunlight, making it possible to move and flee which works maybe in the German Summer but at winter when you have only 4-5 hours of daylight every day but its almost always cloudy it limited the chances of surviving
