    The slug Coyote found was weirder, but this Secret Scorpion is really interesting

  • @oli2034
    @oli2034 Před 7 lety +13

    Honestly, I'm gonna vote for the scorpions because I never expected them to be housed in a wall in the UK. The slug was also good though, it's just glowing scorpions are cooler. Great video guys!

    It amazes me that they stay there at the same port they arrived at 250yrs ago

  • @primesv9524

    Coyote won by a hare! No pun intended

  • @TheCucuyo9779
    @TheCucuyo9779 Před 7 lety +18

    let's keep it civil guys. this is a FRIENDLY competition. You know, "Oh yeah? Hold my beer and watch this."
    That said, Imma have to vote for the sea slug. To be honest, I didn't even know giant sea hares existed until I saw it in Coyote's show, let alone that they secreted gooey ink. That's...pretty weird.
    As much as I love scorpions, they're everywhere.
    That's my vote, and my reasoning behind it. Love you both, and keep up the great work!

    • @williamlowry8809
      @williamlowry8809 Před 7 lety +1

      I saw some in France, don't think they were the same species but they definitely were pretty big. Ofc I don't know if they use ink and slime to scare predators away.

    • @epiccarrot88
      @epiccarrot88 Před 7 lety +3

      They're not everywhere here in the UK. The closest things we have to scorpions other than at this one port is microscorpions, which don't exactly count. It'd be like finding a population of velvet ants in one port of America; it's really strange over here!

  • @H4WK6969
    @H4WK6969 Před 7 lety +15

    I remember David Attenborough doing a programme on those scorpions about 20 yrs ago, fascinating stuff.

      I think BW found a scorpion before, but it wouldn't be fair then.

    • @WarEagleGaming
      @WarEagleGaming Před 7 lety +1

      That's mainly cause Scorpions are pretty common in the US

    • @onuadhain7399
      @onuadhain7399 Před 7 lety

      Yeah. Found a dead one in my lizards tank. I was thoroughly impressed with him.

    • @chorbi1847
      @chorbi1847 Před 7 lety +1

      Ok scorpions are not super common in uk yes but I don't this giant slugs are common anywhere.

  • @sarahknorr4964
    @sarahknorr4964 Před 7 lety +86

    I think coyote won cuz everybody knows about scorpion. But not a lot of people know about coyotes animal

    • @Nadiki
      @Nadiki Před 7 lety +18

      Agreed. Scorpions are awesome, but Coyote's sea hare is MUCH weirder.

    • @hapiestar7164
      @hapiestar7164 Před 7 lety +3

      Well the contest was "weirdest creature" not "weirdest place for this relatively well-known creature".

      No, I'm saying it's well known. You'll be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn't know what a scorpion is.

  • @slothworks7032

  • @devanneuenschwander6004
    @devanneuenschwander6004 Před 7 lety +1

    Scorpions are way cool, but in terms of what's more bizarre, then the sea hare has got to be the winner.

  • @futuristicconmedia2737

    Cool. Your explanation was very detailed

  • @siddharthsantosh6608
    @siddharthsantosh6608 Před 7 lety +6

    I'd say a brow sea hare beats a scorpion every day. But the scorpions are really interesting too! But in terms of sheer weirdness, Sea hare wins.

  • @sighpower
    @sighpower Před 7 lety

  • @SnowBlind853

    Interesting :)
    Definitely subbed

  • @businesscatlimbo
    @businesscatlimbo Před 7 lety

    I'd have to say the sea hare that Coyote found was the most bizarre out of the two. Great video though! I hope you and Coyote do more challenges and collaborations together in the future.

  • @mattchandler14
    @mattchandler14 Před 7 lety

    Hiya! Brave Wilderness fan here - glad to have found your channel through this competition. As an East Coast, US resident this is a tough one, the Pacific coast is just as far from my home as Kent. I've never seen the Western US, so many of the animals there are strangers to me. However, I did live in S.E. England for 2 years after finishing University, and even though scorpions are pretty common where I live, I NEVER thought to see one in the UK. Great Find!

  • @pheonixmagicdewanto1848

    Cool video!

  • @Naturalvelocity
    @Naturalvelocity Před 7 lety +1

    hold on... you thought you could beat coyote with a scorpion? He lets that shit sting his tongue for breakfast.

  • @MaDmanex100
    @MaDmanex100 Před 7 lety

    Very interesting find! And in a urban area aswell. As exiting as the scorpion is i do think that coyote has won finding the very strange slug that i have never seen before.

  • @dylanmusij5923
    @dylanmusij5923 Před 7 lety +1

    Gonna have to go with this one here, it was super cool looking the scorpions under the UV light

  • @areallyboringname
    @areallyboringname Před 7 lety +1

    Amazing work as ever guys! But is that the weirdest we have in the UK? If so you may have to ask the beeb to stump up some more travel funds if you want to win the next round, because that crazy sea slug unfortunately trumps the mini-scorpion... even though it is very, very cool. Keep up the good work - I look forward to seeing what you come up with next time!
    Would be interested to know how far those scorpions have spread as well? I've heard reports of them living in London? Do they cope OK with our winters? As far as invasive species go, they're definitely one of our oddest!

  • @alanbattison3544
    @alanbattison3544 Před 7 lety

    Both very interesting and strange animals, but ink and slime is just too good

  • @EmpathP
    @EmpathP Před 7 lety +3

    this is super hard to choose, you both chose totally alien species....But I think I have to give it up for scorpions in the UK, that is the LAST place I would ever expect to find a scorpion

  • @janetlapham3919
    @janetlapham3919 Před 7 lety

    The habitat of this scorpion makes it much weirder than the sea slug.

  • @locouk
    @locouk Před 7 lety

    I saw a video about that wall a few years ago, some guy was trying to coax the scorpions out with a tuning fork.

  • @phxtonash

  • @JustCause951

    @worstpuns8708 Před 7 lety

    i thought this is a click bait lol. Good video! thumbs up ;D

  • @DanHarkless_Halloween_YTPs_etc

    Didn't expect a Brave Wildnerness shoutout in a BBC video! (Not going to declare a "winner" as requested, as I'm very glad to have both of your channels capturing different sorts of wildlife.) Very interesting about the invasive scorpion population at the port surviving for so long based on what must have been a very small initial population size! It never occurred to me that there would be no scorpions in the U.K., but in retrospect that does seem somehow intuitive. Wow, only feeding 4 times a year? Crazy. I also didn't realize it was _all_ scorpions that glow in UV. Thanks for the great video.

  • @Molb0rg
    @Molb0rg Před 7 lety

    that is absolutely cool, never ever thought they can glow like this under any conditions.

    • @Molb0rg
      @Molb0rg Před 7 lety

      although never ever knew that huge slug exists, taff choice, but it is sea there are a lot of weird creatures, so I'll go with glowing scorpion which exist there where it should not.

  • @jennotaro3741
    @jennotaro3741 Před 7 lety

    thats amazing i would never belive there was scorpions in the uk

  • @Suffacator

    not sure wich is weirder. The freaky slug or a scorpion in the UK. Leaning towards the scorpion tho, Awesome video!

  • @unkown352
    @unkown352 Před 7 lety

    I'll admit the secret scorpions in the UK is pretty cool. Although the goal was to find the strangest creature. I believe coyotes got you beat with his brown sea slug.

  • @quique505
    @quique505 Před 7 lety

    hands down the sea hares were more bizard than a scorpion!

  • @meganno8930

    coyote won because a slug that sprays out PURPLE INK?!?!?

  • @davidpar2

  • @theghostslayerhd2389
    @theghostslayerhd2389 Před 7 lety

    Coyote wins. He too has found a creature that gives off a strange color, however not through UV light, but naturally. I also find the brown sea hare to be a little more exotic, because I'm dutch and we don't really get creatures like that here. Well played though

  • @endmylifehd137

      a slug isnt more interesting than a scorpion unless your biased.

  • @tim1556
    @tim1556 Před 7 lety +1

    I'd have to say coyote won with the sea hare but if this was a contest of who's was a more interesting animal I'd say you won

  • @84neilbone
    @84neilbone Před 7 lety

    really cool contest and got to go with my boy coyote but nice scorpion. I love that color green. creatures of the sea are usually more interesting though

  • @asemdaghistany8610
    @asemdaghistany8610 Před 7 lety

    i think these guys have won cuz wt they showed is pretty bizarre.. like why would the scorpion glow in the dark under UV light?! i cant see a reason how this can be a surviaval adaptation for the scorpion, and thus i think this vid deserves to win for showing something that is very weird and alien-like

  • @DiReNate
    @DiReNate Před 7 lety

    coyote winns!!!!!!! but i still subbed this was an extremely ballsy go. amazing that their are scorpions in the U.K.. just weird haha

  • @RayPayumi
    @RayPayumi Před 7 lety

    While scorpions are indeed bizarre, it's nothing out of the ordinary. Spiders are bizarre, and they are everywhere. I already knew that they glow under UV light. What I didn't know was that slugs can have ink. So for me, Brave Wilderness won this round.

  • @scottparker9756

    I'm going to say this video won

  • @washedmaffle11
    @washedmaffle11 Před 7 lety

    I think in principle, the scorpion is weirder and probably especially weird to anyone living in the UK who thought they were safe from scorpions. As a resident of Arizona though, I come across them all the time so as for stranger looking, it's the sea slug.

  • @MagWrath

    some animals like chickens can see as they're looking in a black light and certain bugs glow to them.my chickens can spot seemingly invisible bugs do the camouflage(in regular light , not in ultraviolet) and get them even at a distance

  • @lordnagatron
    @lordnagatron Před 7 lety

    scorpion for the win!!

  • @just-the-slooperman-trampi3250

    I would vote for Coyote on the most bizzarre animal. But if it were a competition about who could give the most information, I would have voted for you guys. I appreatiate the facts

  • @TheNinjafrostpn
    @TheNinjafrostpn Před 7 lety

    Where in Kent is this? Scorpions in the UK? That's awesome :) Still think Coyote's is weirder, though, since sea slugs just look so alien

  • @EASYTIGER10
    @EASYTIGER10 Před 6 lety

    Kent can get cold and showy some winters. How do they survive?

  • @-AaronRay-
    @-AaronRay- Před 7 lety

    Gotta go with UK scorpions. Sea hares are obscure compared to scorpions, but this is absolutely the first time Ive heard of them living there. Show me something Ive never seen before and you have my attention.

  • @udipta21
    @udipta21 Před 7 lety +1

    The real winner here are the viewers!

  • @TheBarrelsBottom
    @TheBarrelsBottom Před 7 lety

    I think people are missing the point. Yeah, scorpions really aren't that weird. I live in Arizona and I see them all the time. But, it's the fact that they're in the UK and just in one isolated spot.
    I'm not really sure who won. I think that the sea hare was a more bizarre animal, but I think that the happenstance of the scorpions is strange.

  • @madmonkeynat
    @madmonkeynat Před 7 lety

    Unplugged! We win! :D how can you bear a glowing scorpion that lives in a cold country like the UK.

  • @Christopher-vj2ie
    @Christopher-vj2ie Před 7 lety

    This is a tough one.
    I was definitely more stunned to find out there were scorpions in the UK.
    But I also think, that as far as bizarre goes, Coyote found the motherload.
    On the other hand I was more amazed by the scorpion, whereas the slug mostly just grossed me out.
    No! I'm going to give it a tie.

  • @dinodare1605
    @dinodare1605 Před 7 lety

    Sorry, but I believe Coyote has it in the bag.
    Scorpions may be a bit creepy, but their nothing too bizarre. While you are holding a scorpion, coyote is holding a gigantic, 3 pound black slug, as well as a Sea hare that squirts purple Ink. Cool videos on both sides though, I never knew the thing about how the tail and claw size can tell you how toxic a scorpions sting is.

  • @JonathanHawk101
