Full transcript with timestamps

I have two wild animals at home. This is called the Riosaurus Rex. He has very nice teeth. Look how shiny. You're so big. Oh yeah. Look how big Bear, come here. Get in the intro. This is a Barasaurus, Rex., We're, going to, do, a little ASMR with bear. Would you ever attack me? Be honest. The wild animals are fighting. Hey, let's look at real animal attacks. We'll talk about how to survive them too.

At, 16,, Jackson, Jordan, is, hunting, deer, in his native Georgia woods. when he is ambushed and mauled a pack of vicious coyotes.

Do, coyotes, attack, humans, or, are, these rabid coyotes? I know every animal has a slightly different proclivity. It's a good word for attacking humans.

He, has, gotten, off, a, single, shot and scared off a pair of the coyotes. Trying, to, stand,, Jackson, is, brought, down again by another coyote.

They, attack, in, packs., That's, all, I, know. and they're quite vicious. Sadly, my neighbor uh lost a dog. I think it was a Yorkie, a very small dog. Two coyotes in the area. So, they're they're like they're around

that, bites, into, his, left, leg., On, the ground, though, Jackson's hand falls onto his rifle

and, uh, flipped, the, safety, off, and, that just get an offhand shot on my left leg. It made four puncture wounds. Puncture wounds are some of the most problematic types of injuries because of the depth in which the bacteria gets trapped. That bacteria has nowhere to go other than spread throughout the tissue which leads to deeper more problematic infections that are not easily resolvable usually requiring IV antibiotics. sometimes incision and drainage uh due to abscess formation and if it spreads it could spread to not just the superficial skin tissue but deeper into the joints into the bones even

they, put, several, shots, around, the puncture wounds in my right arm. What, it, looks, like, they're, demonstrating here is irrigation and irrigating with uh normal saline like that or just saline in general is the right move to do. If you have iodine, I guess you could do it as well, but just soap water, saline rinse, that's the way to irrigate these types of wounds. And the earlier you do the irrigation, the better infection control you have.

Once, that, was, finished,, they, put, two large shots into each hip. Oh., Uh,, this, is, a, rabies, protocol., What they're doing is basically treating him as a PEP, a rabies pep case postexposure prophylaxis where we give several things. The rabies vaccine and human rabies immune globbulin in order to decrease the likelihood that the rabies virus actually inflicts terrible damage to the human because untreated rabies is fatal. Not somewhat fatal fatal. 100% fatal. The pain of the shots is like the stings of scores of angry wasps. But there is no alternative.

The threat of rabies is the threat of violent death with unbearable pain mania seizures hydrophobia.

The, hydrophobia, is, so, scary, to, see., In areas uh across the globe where we don't have good medical care like what he's receiving in this video, they develop latestage effects of rabies. One of which is hydrophobia where they're literally too scared to drink the water.

The, series, of, injections, spares, Jackson from contracting rabies. And, because, we, don't, have, this, type, of medical care across the globe highlighting how important vaccines are. Secretary Kennedy, 60,000 people average globally uh a year die as a result of rabies.

The, rusty,, old, water, heater, home to 70,000 Africanized honeybees. Oh this is like I believe a genetically modified bee. It It's basically like a typical honeybee except that they're just super angry and ready to fight at all times. Think uh UFC fighting level bees.

The, attacks, can, be, started, by, loud, noise and vibrations like ooh a tractor say even up to 100 ft away. Over 2,000 bees attack Lamar's head, targeting the warmth of his breath.

Oh,, it's, not, the, warmth., It's, the, CO2 that is being let out because bees have a sensor for that. And then also dark colors. So hair often times is a is a trigger, for, them, or, at least, a, location for them to attack. So if you're being attacked by these honeybees, cover up your face. Not necessarily swat, but just cover your face as much as possible and run. Like it's not about swatting. Run and cover your face. try and get into shelter as quickly as possible and know that they will chase for quite a while.

They'd, fly, up, my, nose, and, I, blow, them out and then I try to breathe and they fly into my mouth.

Remember,, each, time, one, of, these, bees stings you, it dies and it leaves the stinger in you. So once you get away you need to get those stingers out, but you don't want to squeeze the stingers out because you could actually spread more of the venom in there. You want to almost use the edge of a credit card or the edge of your nail to sort of pop them out.

This, kamicazi, colony, of, Apen, assassins sank more than 2,000 stingers into his skin.

2,000., So, obviously, if, you, get, one, sting and you don't have an allergy, it's probably not the end of the world. But if you're getting that many or you're getting ones around your eyes or your mouth for the fear of closing your airway, you need to seek emergency care for sure. where 2,000 stingers had left Lamar's head covered in bruises blisters, and black spots.

Oh, my, god,, that, that, image, that's, that's going to haunt me tonight. I'm going to wake up thinking there's bees all over me.

Head,, shoulders,, neck, the, ear, canal,, the, throat,, the, neck,, uh the eyes.

When, we, separated, his, eyelids,, there were beees stingers along the lash line. The stinger has a sack of venom on the end of it. So you take the tip of the tweezers and you get as close to the skin as you can and pull on the stinger trying not to squeeze any more venom into this is under medical care by the way. Don't do this on your own.

He, had, muscle, damage, to, the, heart., He had muscle damage to the body and he also had kidney damage.

Remember, when, you're, getting, a, massive inflammatory response like this systemically because of so many bites that has repercussions systemically to different organs. And if you get a organ like your heart or kidneys damaged to that degree, you can lose your life.

Dialysis,, helped, flush, out, the venom. The swelling subsided and one by one, his ravaged organs started to come back online.

They, save, a, life, of, a, bird, at, the hospital. I'm, glad, to, know, that, he, survived. That's so scary. If you start seeing them coming after you, run as fast as far as you can. Run at a marathon pace because you need to outrun these bad boys. 23-year-old Adrien Simancas swallowed and then spit out by a humpback whale.

WHY, ARE, WHALES, SWALLOWING, KAYAKERS, AND HUMANS? My, guy, really, looked, at, the, whale, and said, "Hey, come here buddy. Give my friend back."

He's, saying, tranilo, like, chill., I, say tranquilo when I'm giving a vaccine and someone's nervous. He's saying his tranquilo is on a different tranquilo level. Suddenly I felt like a wave struck me from behind but it was very very heavy to be anything like that.

I, mean, what, medical, information plankton rash like what is he going to get?

At, first, I, thought, that, I, would, die because uh there's nothing I can do. Can a whale fully swallow a human? Like, can it does it have the capacity to swallow all the way? Like, could he have lived in its digestive tract?

You, ain't, got, the, answers. I'M, ASKING, YOU. YOU, AIN'T, BEEN, DOING, the, education.

Does, this, change, in, any, way, you're, going to go back out and and kayak there?

Yeah. I, mean,, lightning, doesn't, strike, twice in the same spot. Is that the saying?

Zalbard, is, located, in, the, Arctic., The island is not only home to the most breathtaking views on the planet, but also to 3,000 deadly polar bears. Our adventurers knew the dangers, though and had come prepared. They were carrying rifles and would set up a trip wire system.

Don't, they, have, bear, spray,, too?, I wonder if that works on polar bears. While, the, boys, slept,, the, Arctic's, most ferocious predator crept towards their tent. Against all the odds, the lumbering beast unwittingly dodged the trip wire.

How, does, it, know?, Maybe, in, a, past, life it was not a polar bear. And, this, bear, was, all, set, for, its picnic.

He, grabbed, my, head, and, uh, dragged, me, out of the tent. I, can't, imagine, how, much, bleeding, is happening there. So many small blood vessels in the skull.

The, bear, dragged, Sebastian, 30, m, from, the campsite literally by the scruff of his neck.

Oh,, if, it's, a, neck, that's, even, more dangerous. You're having the most vital of structures in the neck from the trachea to the corateed arteries, the jugular veins. This is what's bringing circulation to and from the the most vital part of your body. I mean, some argue if it's the brain or the heart but you need both.

As, Love, grabbed, his, rifle,, the, bear reared up onto its hind legs to its full 3 m.

That's, a, tall, bear., I'm, 191., Imagine, two Dr. Mike's on top of one another just going misinformation.

Thankfully,, Lord, Vigane, was, good., The bear dropped Sebastian and after four more shots the creature was dead.

Shooting, like, a, World, War, II, rifle, at this polar bear. It, could, take, up, to, 4, hours, for, help, to arrive. And with the scent of human blood acting as an open invitation to other hungry bears in the neighborhood. It was a race against time

and, the, infection, risk. He'd, lost, a, lot, of, blood, and, his, body was in shock.

He, might, have, had, internal, injuries, to the head because he had bites in the head.

What, do, you, mean, might, have?, He definitely had 10, 15, cm, all, the, way, to, the, skull.

Bear's, germ-packed, jaws, could, have, left him with a deadly infection. I, love, when, they, shaved,, they, left, a little hair like, "Oh, here's a little tough. Just let it all go."

We, had, to, remove, all, tissue, that, might be infected. And that turned out to be a good deal actually because the

they, probably, had, to, do, grafts, injuries, to, the, muscles,, the, injuries, to the tendons that they were much larger than we anticipated. Sebastian emerged from surgery relatively unscathed.

What?, What?, These, narrators., He's literally scathed. And she goes "Unscathed."

After, capturing, one, of, these, monsters, South Florida snake expert Steve Massex become the victim of an attack.

Is, this, a, rattlesnake?, Is, this, a, boa? Right, on, his, nest. All, right. Got, me, by, the, nose,, baby.

All, right., All, right., I, love, how, calm she is. God, I need to develop that level of chill. His tranquilo is on a different tranquilo level.

Massic, slowly, works, his, fingers, into, the python's throat. Oh,, it's, a, python., I, think, I, held, one, of these in Disney or something or kiss.

If, he, can, block, its, breathing,, he, might be able to pry it. Oh,, so, he's, doing, like, a, rear, naked choke but from the front. Oo, this those do look like super I don't, know if, it's, venomous,, but, it's, uh from a bite perspective, scarring, maybe some help from plastics, but shouldn't be terrible. Again, maybe some salmonella prevention.

You, know,, my, my, hands, were, still, down, in there and the teeth were curved into my fingers.

Is, there, any, teeth, in, my, face? Just, Just, hold, for, hold, for, a, second. I'm going to try and wipe you off. All right., Um Okay. Relax, relax, relax.

What, are, they, doing? The, cranberry, juice. Cranberry, juice., It's, not, a, UTI,, buddy.

And, I, guess, being, that, it's, a, different flavor and a different taste, it didn't like it. And it was cold, too.

I, love, how, she, knew, exactly, like,, let, me get my little concoction that snakes don't like. Here's a little cocktail juice.

Let's, see, if, I, can, show, you, a, little, bit more about how That, doesn't, look, like, a, snake., That looks like a gator snake. A snake and a gator had a baby.

So, now, you, can, see, quite, a, lot, of, the snake's bulk has gone straight around my neck. Around here is where my windpipe is. Your windpipe is of least importance to me. Your kurateeds that are much more easily compressed. That's the concern. Also, the jugular vein that allows blood to drain from your brain and skull are there as well and they're thinner. So they're even easier to compress. And as a result, you can create a pressure discrepancy where pressure starts building up in the brain cuz the blood flow needs to circulate in and out.

And, that's, how, this, magnificent I, love, how, the, people, filming, this, don't give two. The amazing thing that happens next is that the bow constrictor will actually start to swallow its prey whole. Oh

yo,, this, guy, is, so, tough. Yeah., Yeah., It's, amazing, how, strong, it is.

Please, tell, me, he, gets, it, off. Below, the, video, on, YouTube,, it, says, no presenters were harmed in the making of this video.

Oh, my, god., It, began, when, mom, Taylor Rogers made an illegal turn onto the school grounds to drop off her son. She's stopped by the Santa Fe, Texas Chief of Police.

There's, no, left, turns,, ma'am., They, don't even allow walkouts up front. So

I, know, that's, what, I, was, doing,, sir. Going this way. She, drives, off,, but, moments, later,, Chief Espinosa learns that she's driving in reverse at the drop off area.

What, is, the, animal, that, is, involved, in this situation? Y'all, are, scaring, me., He, takes, her, down and that's when she literally comes face to face with the fire ants.

Oh, my, god., Oh, my, god., Fire, ants, don't just bite. They bite, hold on, and sting over and over and oh

photos, show, the, extent, of, the, painful bites. And, you, don't, want, to, pop, those, those little pules cuz then they can get infected cuz technically inside they're they're I think they're sterile. It was approximately 13 seconds where I informed the officers, pick her up and put her in patrol car. So at that time when they tried, she became non-compliant again and they had to restrain her again. She would have been lifted up off the ground much sooner if she would have just complied with instructions.

Was, she, under, the, influence, driving backwards in a school zone? This was like a criminal scene turned animal attack scene like this. A man is out of the hospital after a gator chopped down on his head and back. What? Yo, gators have such strong bites. Like once they bite down, you can't open that.

It, shows, the, man, swimming, in, a, lake, in Hillsboro County. Was, that, the, video, of, it?, How, did, they get this footage?

Is, a, drone. Someone, flew, a, drone, and, was, filming this guy swim and gotten bitten by a gator.

The, violent, attack, lasts, only, seconds. Defeat says he actually put his hands in the mouth of the gator to get the beast to let go. The bite crushed his skull.

Wow., To, crush, a, human's, skull., I, wonder how many pounds of force it requires

and, it, punctured, his, brain., So,, they ended up having to uh do a craniactomy remove part of his temporal lobe.

JC, spent, 8, days, in, the, hospital., He, was released last week. Only, 8, days., Think, about, how, amazing, our medical system is. His head went inside a gator's mouth, skull was crushed, part of his brain removed. And in 8 days

oh, no, started, miraculously. This, sport, just, feels, inherently, deadly. I wouldn't even say dangerous. Deadly.

Then, a, half, second, before, victory. Absolute horror. It, feels, like, there's, got, to, be, a, better mechanism than dudes running around in bright colored outfits to distract the Adam.

Shorty, bucks, back, and, slams, his, horn into Chris's head. Oh, that's going to be a concussion, brain bleed potentially.

As, for, what, saved, his, life,, it, was, a standard piece of bull riding gear. His vest. The inside is made of a high density yet flexible sports foam.

This, is, like, what, knights, used, to, wear in order to protect themselves from getting uh not javelin. What's the jousted?

Thanks, to, his, vest,, Chris, was, not, even seriously hurt. Co come, on., Come, on., If, he, wasn't,, I'm, so happy. But come on, I don't tough to believe. My friend Pam and I tested all sorts of dog products on Ribbon Bear. Click here to check that out. And as always, stay happy and healthy.
