I am fairly confident this is true at least to an extent. Most venomous snakes don't want to waste venom on defense, they use it for hunting. I would guess that any encounter with a non-prey animal would seem like a life-or-death situation for an immature viper. The reason I said "fairly" is because I think most snakes only have a memory span of about 15 seconds, so it would have to be instinctual.

The gray wolf has a bite strength of 1500 psi (pounds per square inch), FIVE times more than a pit bull. They can crush moose femur bones that are the size of your forearm.

And here I thought being surrounded by so much wildlife was normal😂

When I was about 13 I was stung by the Bark Scorpion. They are quite small, about an inch. The sting itself didn't hurt at all. It tagged me on the knee while I was sitting on the floor. It felt like a sticker or splinter had poked me through my jeans. I looked at my knee, didn't see a splinter so ignored it. Then a minute later it stung me on the top of the foot on the same leg. This time I figured there was a goat head sticker in the carpet and went to look for it and saw the scorpion. It was fine for a few hours but by bedtime, it felt like I had lava in my veins of my leg instead of blood. from foot to hip, each heartbeat sent fire up and down my leg. it made for a pretty restless night. The next day, my leg had gone completely numb. It was quite interesting getting around my school classes while being unable to feel one of my legs. By the next day, everything was back to normal. If you come to the Southwest for any length of time, and go into nature, watch where you put your hands. Take care around trees, fallen logs, and rocks. especially around water since that's where scorpions and snakes are more likely to be. We are taught as children that if we are picking up a large rock, or log or literally anything that has sat on the ground, to pick it up towards us, and use it as a shield as you look to see if there was anything under it, like a snake, centipede, tarantula, or scorpion. Always check your shoes before you put your feet into them, even if they are in the house and especially if they are outside.

Was at a mountain resort in Northern California - nothing fancy, but beautiful area with great trails to hike. So I start to head off the first morning and see a big sign - Do not hike alone. Bears have been sighted nearby. A sign next to it said a cougar had been sighted. Then there were instructions on what to do if you encounter a bear or cougar. One of the two you were supposed to make yourself large, wave your arms in the air and shout at it. The other animal you should make yourself small, stay quiet, don't move, and do not make eye contact. So exact opposite behavior if encountering a bear vs a cougar! By the time I finished reading the thing I could NOT remember which was which. And that's when I was calm instead of scared during an actual encounter. So I said screw it and went and got a massage instead LOL

A grizzly bear is the one you do not want to make any movement or noise that can be taken as aggressive. Eye contact with a grizzly will be taken as a challenge. They are very territorial. Cougars are strategic hunters that take advantage of prey they see as weak. If you make a lot of noise and appear to be big, they will usually back off and consider you not worth the risk. Not all bears should be treated the same though. You want to act similarly to a black bear as you would a cougar. While still dangerous, they are smaller and less aggressive than grizzlies and more curious and usually are easy to scare away by making a lot of noise and trying to make yourself appear bigger and threatening. This unfortunately is something some people have gotten backward in the past between the two bears when encountering them.

During mating season mountain lions scream. I mean, they literally scream. In the middle of the night. It sounds like a woman being murdered out in the woods. I've also heard the gray wolves howling a few times. The population up where I live I think just occasionally ranges down from Canada, and isn't part of the highly contentious reintroduction. This population overlaps with one of the only grizzly bear habitats in the lower 48. It isn't an animal I would want to startle and have to face, but conflicts with them are actually extremely rare. This probably has more to do with the populations largely being limited to fairly remote wilderness, though, because black bears are far more ubiquitous and, unsurprisingly, are far more commonly seen as a nuisance. Moose deserve the number 1 spot. Moose are utterly ubiquitous where I live. They're as big as horses, and notoriously aggressive. They're famous for wandering around small towns, peeking into windows and eating your hedges. But most people also know that they are not safe to approach. Bull moose can be really aggressive, and cows with calves doubly so. Most people I know would rather have to deal with a black bear than a moose.

You can find rattlers sleeping in your warm engine compartment. Gives ‘checking the oil’ a whole new perspective. Also, the video omitted alligators and now boa constrictors. When I drove semis (Lorry on your side of the pond), I went eye to eye with an elk getting ready to cross the road. I was in a Volvo tractor (about 10’ in seat height), I held my breath as my 80,000 lb truck would have killed it, but it would have totaled the tractor.

There's a video on KZread that this guy shot while he was deer hunting, of a cougar screaming. Man,it's so creepy sounding. Also, a family friend that lives a few miles up the road, he's a Comanche medicine man,and the only person in our area that is allowed to rescue grey wolves. At one point they had 50 on their property at one time. Some friends were visiting from California, and we were there getting tattoos, and something got them started howling. That's probably the creepiest thing that I have actually heard.. They had a wolf that was all white, and it stayed in the house. I remember that it alway's laid under the piano that they had. The one rule that our friend had, was to never look that wolf in the eye's... You automatically want to look!! LOL!!!

There was a study done that in areas where rattlers are captured the most, the snakes are actually not rattling their tails as much because they’ve learned over the years that that is what is giving them away. Rattlers rattle their tails as a “hey, I’m here don’t bother me. I don’t want anything to do with you, but just letting you know I’m here and will strike if you continue to get too close.” They’d prefer not to waste their venom on something they can eat though.

We focus on education apart from providing non-releasable and non-native wild cat species, but we always treat them and respect them as the wild animals they are. No interactions like you see on some Netflix shows 😅😂 We have four cougars right now, and they’re just remarkable creatures. They can take down prey up to 10x their weight and are ridiculously agile and graceful. In general, all cats are, but cougars really stand out to me for being especially so. Whenever there are small kids in a tour group, the kitties love to stalk them. I always gently remind the parents that it’s not because the cougars “like” them in a playful way, they see them as easy prey. 😅 I can never stress enough how important it is to NEVER turn your back on a cougar if you encounter one in the wild. But they’re very stealthy creatures, like many other felids, so they usually see you and you never even realize they were there. We really do share this beautiful planet with some incredible, powerful creatures ❤️

Rattlesnakes have never scared me because they usually let you know they are there. Copperheads and cottonmouths however are very scary. You dont know until it is too late

Apparently they never heard of gators

When I was in Yellowstone National Park, I saw a Bison 🦬 20 feet away from me as we were going into the cabin that we were staying at

huh, I would have thought Alligators would be on this list.

Canada has lots of different types of landscapes ,this past summer it hit 49 Celsius in parts of British Columbia, Canada has Grizzlies , Black Bears , Polar Bears , Canada has deserts with Rattlesnakes , also black widows and the Brown recluse , Buffalos , different species of wolfs , Vancouver island in British Columbia has the highest concentration of cougars in all of North America , , plus many other types of animals

Right now where I live in So Cal we are having a huge bear and mountain lion problem. I see them on my ring door bell all the time

A friend of mine had a part wolf dog. It could open tin cans with its teeth. It once chewed through a hard plastic cooler to get to the food.

Funny, in the summer time, some mountains are closed so Grizzly Bears can feast..... on tiny moths.

I'm from Washington state and we camp every spring on mount Rainier so we have to lock our food in a bear container and always carry our rifles when hiking due to bears, cougars and wolves. Last spring we found a cougar eating ground... thankfully the cougar wasn't home so we left in a hurry.

Here in Baltimore there have been black bears spotted. These wild animals surround most major cities.

There are roughly 1 million deer/car accidents in the US annually, over 50K in Michigan alone. On an average drive home from work between late October and February I have at least 3-5 run out in front of me every day. Keeps the heart rate up for sure.

I got stung by an Arizona Bark scorpion on my first day in Las Vegas. My aunt had to call 911. It was awful!

In 2015 I took my daughters to Big Bend National Park. They were 12 and 9 at the time. One of the guides that was on our canoe excursion warned me several times to keep my kids close to me on trails in the park because cougars would attack. Especially my youngest as she was small for her age to begin with.

I've been stung by a scorpion 3x. It hurts but its nor the worst. Tucson AZ has crazy animals but its easy to stay safe if you're taught well

Yeah, it's pretty common knowledge here in the Rocky Mountain states that you just don't screw with a moose.

If you want to see a wide variety of North American native animals in the wild from a safe distance you have to go to Denali National Park in Alaska. I took my sons there when they were 9 and 11, and we saw grizzlies, including mothers with cubs, black bears, dall sheep that climb up mountains, caribou, moose, and all kinds of eagles and falcons, including bald eagles. You take a long bus ride into the middle of the park, and it stops along the way for you to take pictures. You're perfectly safe, but you can really see the animals up close and personal with a zoom lens or binoculars.

I lived in Maine for 9 years and saw moose in my front yard several times in that time span. They are amazingly huge!

Deer are hazards, not only in the countryside, but also on highways and suburban neighborhoods. Driving down an interstate at 70 mph (112 km/hr) and seeing a deer run in front of you is scary!

During a school field trip in high school we stopped at a farmers market/petting zoo for lunch, and there was this large exhibit for moose. I was walking by and admiring the male when it ran over to me. For whatever reason he was pissed off, and he ended up RIPPING A PART OF THE FENCE OFF, so there was nothing between me and him. Needless to say I decided to move lol

That was awesome! "WHAT" Bears are crazy!

Growing up around Rocky Mtn elk, which are about twice the size of a standard deer, I can tell you how many people I personally knew who wrecked in a collision with them in my childhood. In my tiny little town I knew at least seven people out of a couple hundred who had had that experience, and quite a number of them had permanent injuries from it. Moose are pretty bad tempered, but so are bison. I remember going to Yellowstone one time and there was a calf sort of trotting alongside the cars hoping for handouts... and then the mother came galloping up because I guess when the baby blatted at everybody, she must have thought we were harming it or something? She had taken exception to one of the cars (which was a color she appeared not to enjoy?)... and she just literally ran directly into the side of it. It was a big SUV, and it slid right off the road and got stuck on the embankment off the asphalt. Pretty impressive to see an animal, even one that hefty, take an SUV off the road.

This is why if I ever go camping in the outdoors where there might be bears, bison, mooses, or deer, I am going to be like my man Kevin Costner's character in the TV show Yellowstone, and bring my shotgun!

I think the Grizzly bear is what you have to worry about most. They are incredibly fast, can climb trees, and will rip you to shreds. Worst of all they are aggressive, it’s not like oh if you don’t bother it, it won’t bother you. They kill for sport. If you go anywhere in it’s sight and there’s no house/car around you to escape you are dead. Nothing you can do… We also have Black bears which are smaller and actually live near me, but they aren’t much to worry about. They aren’t aggressive and you can scare them off if you act big enough

@@kabirconsiders I've been stung many times by Nellie's (jelly fish) while fishing and crabbing in the Chesapeake. It feels like a thin red hot wire laying on your skin.

Where I live in Illinois, deer-automobile collisions are commonplace. There are two species of poisonous snake common here that weren't mentioned, copperheads and water moccasins or cottonmouths. We also have rattlesnakes here. Black widows and brown recluse spiders are common here too, and you have to check your shoes as that's a favorite place for the brown recluse. People here use to call the brown recluse the fiddleback spider because of the marking behind its head. If you're boating or skiing on the Illinois or Mississippi Rivers, you have to keep an eye out for snapping turtles, which can grow to be over a foot in diameter and who's beak can sever a toe or finger. We also use to have big cats here like cougars, panthers, bobcats or lynx... but they've become exceedingly rare.

From this list, Black Widows and other spiders are a common occurrence where I am, I’ve seen a scorpion (a different subspecies) while camping, surprised a wolf while hiking (I was on a ledge above it), and I’ve seen in the distance (or through windows) plenty of deer’s and occasionally seen sharks while boating (though not the two species mentioned). The others I’ve only ever seen on TV or at zoos.

Lessons from this, fly don't drive to your vacation destination and do not camp out; spring for a hotel or motel room.

Texas has a spring rattle snake round up. Diamond Backs. Around here cattle kill more than deer.

I live in Colorado. The one animal that scares me the most is the mountain lion. We have signs in our national parks that say this is mountain lion country, if you’re running, please run in groups and as my husband says, don’t be last! It’s rare but they come down to the suburbs and have been known to take pets for food. One man said a lion took his dog and I figured he had a small dog but then he showed a picture of his dog and it was a Rottweiler! Holy cow! But makes sense if they’re killing elk which are big animals they can take a Rottweiler. We have black bear, grizzlies are farther north. I wouldn’t mess with a grizzly ever but mountain lions scare me more than black bears. There’s a video where a man was walking or running a trail (not sure which state) and came upon a mountain lion baby. Well, he backed off and the mother appeared and followed him for a long time. He kept backing up and yelling at it and that went on for a long time. Scary stuff. Don’t mess with moose either, very antisocial and mean.

As a kid in Alaska whenever the school bus driver saw a moose he would need to call in dispatch and have the parents come to the drop off in their car to pick up the kid(s). My dad was going 55mph in his big Ford truck when a bull moose jumped over the median at night. Totalled his front end. I was running to the bus stop one morning when I came around some trees and there was a bull. I didn't get to school that day, thank goodness he didn't follow me home. Lots more examples of that sort of stuff. Know 2 people mauled by bears. Dog pack hunting is allowed in some states for over large cougar populations.

Polar bears belong on this list at number one. They have been documented to hunt humans. They are huge and absolutely terrifying. A pack of polar bears attacked a US nuclear sub that breached the Arctic ice and not forced the submarine to dive to get away, but the polar bears did $20,000 worth of damage to the submarine.

I am a backpacker in the Oklahoma/Arkansas area. I have been out in the wilderness my whole life. Snakes and mosquitoes are the only things I have regularly worried about. Hogs and mountain lions are on my radar, but I don’t lose sleep over it. I did make a trip out to Colorado and California. We went day hiking and kept an eye out for bears. We saw some brown bears, but they kept their distance. I believe it’s important to be educated and keep your wits about you, but the benefits of being outdoors far outweigh the concerns. Thank you for your videos.

Scorpions give birth to live young, and the little ones are born soft. That picture is of a momma scorpion carrying her babies on her back, which she will do until they safely harden after 10-20 days.

Honestly, mosquitos, gnats, and horseflies should be one here for how dangerous they are in the South!

If you ever come to the United States, You should come to Arizona. We have the Arizona Deer Farm were you can feed the deer and Bison. And you should definitely check out Keepers of the Wild Animal Sanctuary.

I had a black bear 🐻 in my back yard 2 months ago. I live about 30 minutes from The Smoky Mountains near Gatlinburg Tennessee. I'm surrounded by mountains with bear, deer, and coyotes.

Deer usually kill when they spring forward across the road,no matter you keeping an eye out, and they land on or through the windshield,making a bloody mess.

For me, nothing is scarier than when you're hiking a path and you suddenly hear that rattle. Those snakes generally don't bother you if you don't bother them but the not knowing where they are at first is frightening.

I live on Cape Cod in the Northeast. Cape Cod is a well known vacation area with beautiful beaches and summers are crazy here (pre covid). Summer 2019 I was at beach with my grandson when a lifeguard informed us we needed to get out of the water. Seems there was a Great White Shark feeding on a seal just off the beach. They let us know we could go back in, in an hour. Haven't been in the water since. We had a death here a couple summers before from a Great White Shark Attack. Also had a neighbor bit by a Brown Recluse spider on back of her thigh. Venom caused her to lose 1/2 her muscle and she has a massive scar. Nasty little things. As a child in Vermont, (60's) there would be Bob Cat and Mountain Lion warnings in winter. My mom would listen to radio before allowing anybody to walk to school or play in yard. Hope you enjoy the U. S. The Northeast sure is beautiful all four seasons if you're wondering where to visit. .😎

You really have to go out into their habitat to encounter them. Well except the deer. 🦌 They are everywhere. (As a kid I used to see a lot of dead deer that had be struck by cars, but nowadays fencing has been erected all along highways and roads that keep the deer from causing accidents.) They walk through my neighborhood like they own the place. I have several enormous apple trees on my property that produce literally thousands of apples every year and the deer come by to eat their share. (As do birds, squirrels, racoons, possums and rats) My dog Nando patrols our back yard and keeps most of these critters away during the day, but at night the feast begins. In 59 years I've never seen a cougar, rattle snake, wild moose, wolf, scorpion etc.. I know they exist but unless you are hiking out in the desert or in the mountains you are very unlikely to come across one. Even then it is still highly unlikely to encounter a bear, wolf, cougar etc. Here in Washington you will also see some coyotes within the cities. However, the natural beauty and unspoiled nature that we have more than makes up for any inconvenience we take to stay safe from the wild creatures that we have to share it with. 😛

A lot of us find the crickets comforting 😂 I guess it's all about what youre used to.

If you want to make a road trip across the U.S. I suggest you take I-90 and I-90w from Boston to Seattle. This might be a little much, so why not come to Washington and visit the Olympic peninsula. There's a rain forest you should see. It rains about 130 inches a year, so bring your umbrella.

When I was 16 we had a black bear destroy a tent less than 12 ft. away from us. We watched it from inside our tent & after it left & went out to inspect we saw a muddy paw print next to the tent zipper door & a big muddy butt print on the opposite side which was just above my head where I was sleeping!

Up in Alaska, you can get Polar Bears. Towns will have patrols to keep Polar Bears away, as they are known to actively hunt humans. Also, moose attacks are a thing. I remember my grandmother came to visit us in Anchorage from California, and a baby moose wandered into our backyard.

the cougar can perform a 20' vertical jump from standing still with no problem. A grizzly has been known to outrun a quarter horse in a hundred yards and have been recorded to be 8-9 feet tall, while the Kodiak Bear 10' tall is common. These bears can run down deer and caribou.

I love going for hikes but the idea of running into a grizzly terrifies me

I was climbing a ridge and once I got to the top I saw a cougar maybe 15 feet away from me in some brush. I flew down and ran all the way back to camp. I didn't even hesitate the moment we clocked eyes, I was gone. I was away without telling anyone near a river moving in the other direction of camp so I would've never been found since they would've looked down river first.

Years ago I was in D.C. and went to the Smithsonian museum of natural history, they had a stuffed bison there. Holy smokes! Seeing them in movies doesn't give you the same perspective. My daughter was bitten by a brown recluse when she was ten or so. It didn't hurt, so she didn't mention it, just put a bandaid on it. Luckily, I saw it before she lost the finger.
