Hippos being like Honey Badgers just doing what they want, nature's a crazy amount of freedom

Can you imagine having your head stuck a buffaloes bum? That would be THE worst death ever. Up there with being buried alive or eaten by ants or realizing while drunk that YOU and YOU alone volunteered to take your little sister to that frackin Taylor swift concert (a slow way to go)

I love what you said about that buzzard. I hate the misconception people often have about buzzards. The birds they are calling buzzards are usually vultures. Buzzards prefer carrion but unlike vultures, buzzards are perfectly capable of hunting and killing their own food. The talons of buzzards are not as sharp as those of an eagle, but they are sharp enough to kill and hold prey.

They are not dumb; they just want to survive and do whatever they need to do to feed themselves and their young.

A lot of herbivorous animals will eat other animals now and then. Plants don’t have all the nutrients an animal needs, like salt, calcium, and phosphorus.

Best solution to cane toads is a water and real Dettol mix. 1/3 Dettol to 2/3 water. Have this in a plant mister. Set the mister to jet spray, squirt the toads and they are dead in less than a second with no dead toad smell either.

Great video. The last part (the sound a Peacock makes) gave me a thought. Could you do a video on ::Animals that sound nothing like you think they would:: I know a couple right ff. Springbok make a grunt that sounds too guttural for such a cute little antelope and Secretarybirds sound kind of like an old man choking on a piece of under cooked chicken. Just a suggestion. See you later...

As for birds in berserker mode when in season, I can vouch for that. I breed Conures, a smaller species of parrot. When in season they are grouchy, bitey and aggressive. When the chicks hatch, it doubles. I have more scars from bites than I care to think about. When not hormonal, sweetest little guys, affectionate, fun and cuddly.

The cib later changed her name and had to move to another savanna because the pride never let her live it down. The other cubs called her Assley for years.

I live a few kilometres away from where they released the cane toad in Far North Queensland Australia. I heard talk on the new a couple of years ago that some scientists had developed a virus or something that makes them female or makes the males infertile. Either way I’ve only got a couple in my yard at the moment compared to a large gathering at the dog bowl not that long ago.

Yes, and the thing people have mocked Alex Jones for is true. The frogs have been turned into herms. But if you ask about it the people that covered it up will lie.

Nothing here really surprised me, but I am always fascinated by hippo behavior. Once they get to a certain size, they are basically immune to physical threats (save perhaps from elephants and rhinos). It is hard to imagine what it would be like to live, knowing you are nigh invulnerable!

Interesting that the cane toads were actually imported on purpose, but were then found to be a problem. The same thing happened in the US with carp. They were brought in because it was thought they would clean up algae in a sluggish river during a dry season. They thrived in the new environment, and overwhelmed the native fish population. Learned about it when I saw a video by Tom Scott about how there's a river in Chicago with a portion of it electrified, because they're trying to make sure the carp don't get to the Great Lakes.

6 minutes in and still no animals dieing in dumb ways I'm out.

Damn it, you're making me say "Don't fuck with hippos" more.

Tetrodotoxin is also a good bit too complicated molecule for it to have evolved exactly from different species

From what I heard some of the crocodiles are starting to adapt to the poison

Kruger national park seems to be badly overcrowded and you get a lot of encounters, almost on a daily basis that would be rare in real nature.

Did you know crows are smart enough to find a way to eat cane toads without being poisoned.

Dead whales are absolutely the worst smell on earth and it doesn't go away if you bury it.

17:14 The hippo with the elephant trunk sticking out of his mouth looks really derpy.

I say that what was called a buzzard in the video is really a hawk or falcon. Buzzards and vultures do not have any feathers on their heads to reduce the chance of getting a disease when they stick their heads in a dead carcass.

Why blur things out.

The hippo also could have killed the water buck because of it being in it’s territory..Hippos are well known for being aggressive of their territory,especially the males..
