As many of you have made me aware, the brand I promoted in this video has been exposed to be a scam (or at best, very very misleading).This is obviously a massive failing by me and me alone for endorsing a dishonest product like this and I've removed the sponsored portion from this video. I’m sorry for promoting what is essentially grift and apologize to anyone that gave this brand money because they trusted my word.
I'm sorry but if all 10 of these animals are trying to make him past tense all at once I'm going to take a page from Jordan Peele's book on this with Nope to massive success I love Casual Geograohic, but he taught me that all 10 of these animals are not to be fucked with
The elder woman who got murked by the elephant was actually part of a poaching group and she was one of the other women in the group that was throwing rocks at the adult elephants to distract them so the others could try and grab one of the calves. An elephant never forgets.
I feel like he missed out on willie wag tails though. No one knows about those tiny, insane, angry bastards that desperately want to kill everyone, but can't. I've never been swooped by a maggie, but we have willie wag tails where I live that attack me every year like clockwork, its very cute. Kind of like being hit on the back of the head by a pompom ball.
That bit where it said "If you know, you know" on the screen. That was a Shrike. I believe the Great Grey Shrike. a.k.a. The Butcher Bird. i.e. The bird that picks up small animals and impales them on thorn bushes so it can eat them like a kebab. Just knowing that Australian Magpies are close relatives of Shrikes explains a lot.
The best part about that clip is the story behind it. I read that the octopus and the fish were hunting partners and the fish had been taking more than his fair share of the prey, so the octopus let the fish know to knock it tf off.
Funniest thing about magpies is the best defense against them is befriending them. If you get on good terms with one family of magpies they will protect you during swooping season and even hang out with you. Oh and it gets better because they pass that info down to the next gen so you can have an entire lineage of magpies be your friends.
Fun fact: Kea don't just do it for food, they do it for the sheer mayhem. Common practice when you go to ski resorts here is to take a book with you that you dont want anymore and to leave it on top of your car. Basically a sacrifice to them. The Kea will spend a long time having fun tearing apart the book and leaving it in pieces and, hopefully, be distracted enough to leave your car alone. Probably something you wont find in the books, but we all did it.
That's just how parrots are. Sauce: I have a pet cockatoo, everything I owned is shredded and I have a drawer full of spare universal remotes because any that gets accidentally left out gets DISASSEMBLED.
fun fact, in 9th grade my honors bio teacher told us a story about how he went on a trip to new zealand, and whilst climbing a mountain, he had to wait in place for his friend he was climbing with to start climbing, at which point a kia began trying to snipe him off the mountain by literally dropping rocks off the cliff above him, luckily for him the kia missed all it's shots and lost interest
For people who don't know at 8:12 the bird on the screen was a shrike, a bird that impales its prey on thorns to hold it in place white it it picks of chunks of it that it can swallow. Makes sense, maybe it's a family thing.
1. I was friends with a swan for years named Paulie. He was a noble, powerful creature who took no shit from Canada geese and would eat sunflower seeds from my (heavily gloved) hand. Thank you for giving swans their due in this video. 2. Thank you for educating me on what absolute terrors zebras are.
i live in australia and have a few stories. whenever we moved, my mum would always make it a point to sit outside and throw bread on the ground for the magpies to befriend them. we were never swooped once, and the magpies would bring their babies down to get some bread as well. the babies would be almost a full adult but still scream their head off until their parent picked up the chunk of bread they were standing in front of and put it in their mouth for them. my older brothers had a friend who hated magpies and would throw rocks at them, and subsequently became one of their primary targets. he was coming over to visit one day and was being chased by a couple of them but as soon as he reached our house and was welcomed by mum, the magpies completely backed off and never bothered him again. we also had a pet kangaroo after a neighbour went hunting pigs and took down a roo with a joey still in its pouch. mum grew up with kangaroos as pets so she was eager for us to have the same experience, but insisted that we only adopt a female, as she had heard of lots of people raising male kangaroos only to get mauled once they grew up and got aggressive. we called ours tink, and she was quite docile for the most part. once she started getting bigger though, she did start trying to attack us and would kick us from behind without warning so we put a bell on her collar to warn us when she was approaching. she was easy to fend off, we kept her at arms length and her kicks couldn't touch us but if she had been any bigger or we had been any smaller - oh man. she did grow out of that behaviour though, i suspect it was the kangaroo version of the moody pubescent teenager phase. tink was also an omnivore. mum would leave leftovers out for our dogs, things that included meats like bone scraps and spoiled slow-cooked meals, but often tink would come along and help herself first. she was a huge fan of chicken, eggs, and meatwurst. it surprised us, until we heard stories from our neighbours that if larger kangaroos have the opportunity, they have no qualms about picking up birds and small dogs in their claws and snuffing their lights out - not even to eat, just to kill. made for an interesting childhood on the farm 😂
I would have never imagined, especially after watching this video, that people actually kept kangaroos as pets. Aussies really are as dangerous as the animals that live there.
I mean this in the nicest way possible--this sounds like something a kids show in america would air when representing a new aussie character. My inner kindergartner is screaming "I KNEW IT"
@@luck2626 it's not common, only people in rural areas do it as far as i'm aware. since kangaroos are native you probably also need a permit or something to have one as an official 'pet' but we never bothered, tink was always free to leave and run off into the bush whenever she pleased, which she would often do, but we looked after her so she always came back and stuck around for the most part. we also couldn't leave the doors open, or else she would jump up the stairs and come inside. her first stop would always be the kitchen to see if there was any food lying around (we would sometimes have garbage bags full of leftover bread from our friends at the local bakery that she LOVED), and failing that she would jump down the hall to my parent's room to take a nap on their bed. mum would always complain about how she left dirt and prickles all over the sheets XD also fun fact, kangaroos have a very small inner toe, and when tink curled up when we held her or when she laid down she would suck that toe like how a human baby sucks their thumb
I once saw a conversation between someone from Canada and another person. The second person said “How are Canadians all so nice?” The Canadian replied “Every year we perform a ritual to place all of our aggression into the geese”
The thing about corvids in general is they have a kind of society in any given populated area, they communicate with each other about events and they are even capable of recognising different humans and describing them to other corvids! What this means is that corvids will act differently depending on how they interact with humans. In Australia(I'm aboriginal) there was a fad of collecting bird eggs especially among young boys for a long time, I believe that that was what resulted in such animosity from magpies against humans, my evidence is that magpies attacking people has always been peculiarly common is specific areas and that magpies attacks have dropped at lot in recent years. I believe that it was a combination of that fad and also that children(and adults) are generally much less likely to harrass animals these days. If anyone even reads this book........😂
Orcas may also be able to speak english. This was discovered when a scuba diver cleaning an orca tank started hearing a booming, chest shaking, all surrounding voice saying *"GET. OUT"* He thought he was going crazy until they realized it was the orca who he was disturbing by going in there and cleaning. Reasearchers then validated this by training an orca to speak like a parrot does, though significantly more intelligent, and terrifying.
That would be so terrifying. Imagine being in the tank knowing there's absolutely no humans around and hearing that. I'd of thought it was God before it was an Orca. Knowing it was the orca is absolutely terrifying.
Describing orca as "humans of the sea" is crazy accurate. There is a part of their brain that humans don't have that is solely dedicated to emotional connections and language. Their encephalization quotient is astounding. They pass the "mirror" test as well. Meaning, they know they're looking at themselves and in turn are aware and cognizant of their unique self. It's amazing. They're my favorite animal.
Back in the days of whaling, Orcas used to help waling vessels find and isolate targeted species of whale because some of the meat and organs would be dumped back in the sea after the desired parts were harvested. So they'd just show humans who to target and then let humans do the meal prep.
TC 11:57 Back Story --- Those 3 male elephants that went wilding were part of a group of juvenile elephants (male and female) that were re-located far away from their home herd. The group of teenagers was dropped off and left to fend with no mentorship or guidance from the Family elephants. The 3 males went on rhino targeted 'clockwork orange' spree. The females elephants of the group wisely booked it. The rangers and biologist can't control these 3. They relocated an OG male elephant from their old hood to correct these lost youth. It worked. The punky leader caught that OG trunk to the grill and order was restored. The video is out there.
Thank you. If you hadn't clarified this situation, I would have. Also, studies in elephant socialization suggest that young male elephants that go rogue were often raised in family units without female elders. Apparently, mommy might be good for love and comfort, but it's the old grandma elephants that teach them manners. (By the way, loved the Clockwork Orange reference. Little El-ex got his!)
I'm so happy that two Aussie animals made it. I remember my primary school put out a reminder/warning every swooping season because the magpies would nest at one end of the oval. The benefit to them remembering faces is that if you feed the local magpies they not only leave you alone they bring the next generation around to learn that you're a friend. They also learn your habits and help out with tasks like gardening or keeping other birds away from your fruit trees. My grandpa was only ever swooped during the mask mandates in his area because the maggies didn't recognise him and they've kept the cockatoos away from his fruit trees for years.
a young one came back to me a week after hanging with it for a bit and giving it some crumbs, less cautious around me to other people too so it remembered who i was
Speaking of Elephants getting revenge, My 7th Grade teacher knew someone who was killed by and Elephant. Basically the guy and the elephant had accidentally snuck up on each other and the elephant proceeded to put its tusk through the guy’s thigh and out his lungs. So yeah, RIP to that guy.
I've always liked how a Buffalo fights for their herd members, when I watched many documentaries I was always so use to the prey getting caught and the predator winning BUT then the Buffalo came along and left me shook on how they come back to rescue their herd member!
I had a gigantic crow try and attack me while I still lived in japan, thankfully another very huge crow came by and smacked the attacking crow mid flight. It sounded like 2 football players tackling each other. After that the same crow that helped me would always stand by my side whenever he saw me in the morning....I miss Leanord.
There's actually stories of people feeding crows and ravens regularly and discovering that said crows will attack anyone they think is a threat to whoever's feeding them. I'm pretty sure that makes them the only animals on the planet other than dogs you can bribe to attack your enemies.
To me is the intention behind 😂 man really got bored figured I’m gonna break out fade with lions for couple hours and be back before sunset 😂 you can be anything and stoffel decided to be a problem 😂
I love how each animal is an upgrade from the last Kangaroo: likes to fight but doesn't have a predator to worry about Water Buffalo: CAN fight predators and harm people, but only in self deffence Corvids: harms people for the fun of it, but only during 6 months when they are around And it just keeps getting worse
cool thing about corvids though is you can potentially befriend them with patience, consistency and food. piss them off though and they'll live up to the video
I'm glad you pointed out that magpies are not corvids. They are a native species to Australia, but parallel evolution has resulted in similar behaviours to their namesakes in the northern hemisphere and to crows. Magpies definitely get a lot of negative press, but in Australia, people love them even though they might curse them. They are beautiful birds, and they are fiercely intelligent. Their warbling call has been voted multiple times as Australians' favourite bird call. But in terms of attacks, more often than not, if you are being swooped by magpies in your own neighbourhood, it's a juvenile who, like most teenagers, is a complete idiot; or you are in an area where you are not known by the families of magpies living there. When they know you, they usually don't see you as a threat ... unless you act threateningly. Then a magpie is able to identify you for potentially the majority of its natural life, such is their memory. And I've read that they can teach other magpies to identify you as well. So if you upset one, you may upset the entire family. But interestingly, if you have a dog, and they don't like your dog (which can be a common occurrence) they will swoop the dog but not you. They understand where dog finishes and you begin. Lol Finally, magpies might get the bad rap, but not far after them Is the highly territorial lapwing plover, and of course Australian "noisy miner" (not a mynah). This bird will often scuffle with crows and magpies for territory, and it will swoop you relentlessly when you come into its territory. It has also has a face that looks perpetually grumpy. Lol Funny story: A friend of mine who ran a cafe had to stop putting sugar packets outside on the tables because the noisy miners would pull them out of the containers poke holes in the packets and eat the sugar. Of course they would leave sugar all over the tables so that they were sticky and disgusting. But, the magpies started doing it too, because they saw the noisy miners doing it. Then you had both tribes not only causing havoc with the sugar but warring over it between each other.
The Noisy Miners are the most annoying Aussie birds IMO. I’ve seen them swooping so many birds and people. They’re absolute A-Holes. I’ve never seen a more territorial bird. Magpies will only swoop when they’re nesting, but Noisy Miners will swoop cause they like “this tree” better than “the other one”. White Cockatoos are probably more destructive, but they’re much more loveable IMO. They’re more similar to a mischievous kid. They’re very smart, very curious, and so beautiful, so they’re easy to love.
Interesting fact I recently learned about magpies. They are super smart, like crows and ravens. And because, like you said, they can remember faces they will remember you talking to them and bing nice to them. So you can totally make friends with your local magpies and they'll be less likely to swoop you in the spring. I say "less likely" because I don't know if it's a definite. But it's nearly spring here now and I've spent the last month saying hello to every magpie I see in my neighbourhood, so I'll report back in a couple of months... Or I won't, and you'll know it didn't work.
Kangaroo fun fact: they have been observed to "flee" into water if pursued only to drown them if anyone dares to follow. And they are surprisingly good at drowning things.
Dogs especially. I've watched it happen. Not my dog, but I've seen domestic dogs get drowned in fairly shallow water when they wouldn't let up on a roo.
Joking mostly, but If one developed a murderous disdain of Kangaroos for taking their Pets Life, I honestly could not blame them. No amount of "Should of been more X" helps much with against some muscular roid rabbits that are cocky.
I just want to thank you for putting cartoon sound effects on animals getting gameovered and yeeted. I love your stuff and the sound effects make it 1000× easyer for me to watch and enjoy your knowledge. And laugh stupid hard at some of them. Watching dolphins get sent into obit with a Smash finisher sound effect nearly killed me.
keas would get deleted in America REAL fast, especially if they mess with an ol boy's truck. People in the country just wouldn't put up with that shit.
Grew up watching Animal P, Nag🌎etc. You are by far my favorite narrator of animal videos. If Sir David Attenborough and Samuel L. Jackson had a child, you’d be their prodigy child!
As an Aussie, I can confirm that maggies and roos have serious Black Air Force Energy. So much so that when a magpie flew into the garden section of my workplace, I tried to make friends with it. She bit me a few times when I tried to, but I didn’t care; I just wanted a Birb friend.
@@Weirdkauz Because she mostly fed off of any food scraps that customers have left behind, she was tolerating enough of us to not swoop or relentlessly attack. I was slow and cautious around her so that way she didn’t freak out too much. An update on this story, one of my colleagues took her home and she was chill around him during the drive home. The next morning when he went to feed her and other magpies in his yard, the magpie found a partner for herself and is now roaming free. Edit: Autocorrect was uncooperative. I can’t believe it took me a day to recognise the error!
I was in the car with my mum the other day, and we had just started driving home when a lady on a bike was crying with getting chased by a magpie, it was the funniest thing I have ever seen
@@extrathiccbeans That poor woman. I hope she’s okay and got home physically unscathed. I can’t say she remained mentally unscathed, coz magpie swoopage.
4:15 That kick was borderline majestic. Look at how high he jumped. Look at the buildup, the loud thump he made when he brought his legs upon the hood of that poor person's car. It's perfect.
I love animals. I love creative vocabulary. Your videos give me the most delightful brain fizzes. I would watch every feature length documentary you ever host/narrate.
I’m in Berlin, where there’s lot’s of Corvus Corvus, the common crow. When there’s Snow covering all ground, I sometimes feed them. At first, this led to me being attacked when they wanted more, but I taught them quickly that any kind of unfriendly approach would lead to no more food that day. From me. They quickly got that, I have been attacked three times in total, and no more, for years now. Other people, who let themselves be bullied to give out more then they originally planned, have had to resort to wearing bike helmets and sturdy hats… the crows do recognise specific humans, even in different clothing, other hairstyles, and so forth. I, on the other hand, have not been able to distinguish between crows at all, in spite of trying.
@@gregorylagrange I don't think so. The Crows here are not just black, you see, but have gray markings, they do look quite different individually, but I can't remember which is which...
@@Weirdkauz Yes there are different kinds of crows that aren't all black. Pied crow for one example. However, birds can see in the ultraviolet end of the spectrum. So to birds, there might be other markings that they can see that we can't when we're looking at birds and thinking they all look the same.
Hey crows are amazing. There are videos where they solve riddles and Ive seen a few startups that are trying to use crows for cleaning the city. Like for a cigarette butt they get a treat. CrowdedCities was one Name. Btw also greetings from Berlin :D
The best curator ever... I wish they put you on some famous documentary like natgeo wild coz every one would love laugh and veiw animals with a different different perspective ❤❤😂
This guy is VERY cool and I just love his videos.Extremely informative,sometimes spoken a little too fast,but very amusing and entertaining. 1,000,000%
My favorite part of Stoffel trivia is that they got him a girlfriend in the hopes of cutting back his escapades. All that did was give him an extra pair of paws and a partner in crime, i.e. someone to hold latches while he's shimming the other side into an open position, or a living ladder so he can get a claw into the edge of his enclosure
@Charizard S Cats are scared of geese. Source, one of my parents cats wasn't even hunting them, he just existed close enough for one to take offense. Luckily my dad scared the goose away before anything serious could happen to the cat.
Another Aussie here. I have both magpie stories and willy wagtail stories. The willy wagtail is the only bird ferocious enough to piss a magpie off, and the fact that I have just learned that maggies are related to willie wagtails, has rocked my world!! Great footage and as always, great funny commentary. Love your work!
@@connorwehner1151 I stand corrected. The picture wasn't up for long, but it had the features of a willie wagtail. It being a member of the shrike family certainly makes more sense. Wagtails are still dodgy though..
@@TaureanTrish yeah sorry if I came off as rude, just thought I’d correct the identification. Based off your description of the Wagtail, I wouldn’t want to mess with them either! :)
I'm glad you mentioned crows in Japan. Those things are freaking huge, like almost twice the size of crows in North America. The common crow in North America typically has a ~36" wingspan and weighs a bit over 1 lb. The Large-Billed Crow common in Japanese cities has a wingspan of ~48 inches and weighs a bit over 2 lbs. In Japanese cities, in the areas where people leave out trash for pickup, they have plastic netting to put the trash under, or the crows will drag it all over the place trying to get into anything edible. The name is on-point, too; their beaks are the size of my thumb. They have zero fear of humans. I doubt their dangerous to humans, but they give zero F's. In cities, they're like pigeons on steroids and Bane serum.
@@skiffy8121 lol, not that I disagree, crows are a menace here in my area too. They actually appear to have driven the natural birds in the local area to extinction and crows are an invasive species in my place, as they are in most places, so I don't mind smacking a few of those jerks. They murdered all the baby birds, bother the chickens, yeah they need to git.
I like how the kangaroo had to think twice about the car. Bro was about to hop back the opposite way but decided he didn't have anything better to do and double stomped it 😭
9:41 For those who don't know or didn't guess it, that's a shrike. Shrikes are also known as butcherbirds, because once they kill their prey they impale it on a tree branch, and they keep a pantry of these things around their nest. Side note, I was today years older when I found out they were related to Australian magpies
Kangaroos actually did used to have a lot of predators to worry about. A lot of the most absurdly OP carnivores since the extinction of the non-avian dinosaurs made their home in Australia prior to going extinct.
To add, some of these predators were Megalania, a 15-23 foot long (no one's really sure) Komodo relative, Quinkana, a terrestrial crocodile of the same size, and possibly Thylacoleo, a "marsupial lion" who would ambush prey by jumping out of trees. Actually, all of them being gone might've made the roos more confident. Because we may have wiped out the other predators, but we are FAR easier to take out.
Really, Lord Casual should have a television show. His animal humor is a million times better than anything SNL has put out in the last decade IMHO. Even the background music was great - it reminded me of a 1970s NFL film. Perfect.
@@_Shay_ well TO BE FAIR, only 2-3 of them were smash or so. most of them were from other video game franchise, most being nintendo, with one being from runescape if i remember correctly
Can I just say mad respect that this guy always reminds us not to give money if we don't have it? He just appreciates us watching the video to help with ad revenue and such and I love that.
It's reverse psychology. By telling you that you shouldn't feel bad about not being able to give money it plants a sense of guilt if you do have a solid economy but still haven't contributed. And all that without having to beg.
I almost never comment on videos but damn! You are so good. You're narrations are intelligent, hilarious, and just a ton of fun to watch. Thanks so much. I hope you have a long successful career. You deserve it.
The elephant vs old lady incident happened in Odissa, India which is very near to my home. She used to stay near the forest and used to go there to collect woods. When this particular elephant once roaming around, she threw some stones which reportedly injured it badly. A few days later, the elephant came to the village, completely ransacked it and killed the woman. Next day it returned again during the funeral and ransacked the funeral place. This is a true story, the only part which is wrong is, her house or funeral place was right next to the forest and not 100 km away.
Another comment said she was in a group of poachers and with another woman threw stones to distrsct the elephant so the poachers could steal a child Can you validate that in anyform or is it just an urban myth
We've all heard those elephants have been constantly losing herd members to poachers in that area which is why they aren't having any nonsense from humans.
It's because the way God had made them they are very sensitive animals. They will remember you that is why that elephant did what it did. Pretty much the 🐘 went gangster and decided to take care of the situation and it did!
You crack me up, and I love learning about animal behavior and natural history. Your mix of metaphors and polished delivery are a delight. Also, I'm sure this has been answered somewhere before, but what are you holding? Is that a mic?
There are three known deaths from a magpie attack: one caused by tetanus, a second when an elderly cyclist crashed his bicycle while attempting to avoid being dive-bombed, and most recently in August 2021 a third death when a baby died as a mother tried to protect her from a swooping magpie
This man's sense of humor is on point. The smoothness with which he includes banger joke after banger joke in this video's script is nothing short of amazing.
As an Australian who used to be deathly afraid of magpies because of the bad reputation they have, I've actually been spending the last few years trying to turn around that reputation. While magpies can be relentless while defending their territory, it's also a matter of defending themselves. Because of their territory-defending habits, humans came to see them in a bad enough light that the magpies often end up being victim to attacks and harassment who (wrongfully) believe that the birds are going to tear their eyes out just for existing - so, naturally, the birds fight back. However, they're also smart enough that they can be befriended. If you treat a magpie with respect, it'll respect you right back, and not only will it remember you, but it'll pass that information onto other magpies in the area, as well as their children. If you're nice enough to a magpie it'll let you feed it, play with it, and they can even be trained to mimic human speech. The amount of magpie cullings that have taken place around the country because of human stupidity and aggression is honestly devstating, because these birds have the capacity to be quite firnedly if they're simply treated well.
Its swooping behaviour is only on mainland Australia as well, Tasmanian magpies don’t attack people. It’s probably a learned behaviour as urban environment destroyed Magpie habitat breeding area’s.
My father was robbed, sexually assaulted, and murdered by 2 black Magpies...So say whatever you want about them being misunderstood, whatever makes you feel any better about yourself...I call bullshit on anything that you say in defense of those winged black devils...My father begged them to let him go, he told them that he had a family, he promised them that he wouldn't go to the authorities...They just circled him, and took bites out of him all while maniacally Squawking, and kept torturing my daddy til 4 hrs later he horrifically died from massive blood loss... Nobody witnessed this but those animals left their DNA all over, and inside of my father...It actually took over 15 yrs for us to get any justice for what was done... Detectives had no witnesses, leads, or any way to move forward with our case....That is til the F.B.I.'s Cold Cases Squad took over the case and were able to run new tests on the foreign D.N.A. found inside of daddy, which led to the identification of more victims, and the eventual arrest of the first ever in recorded history, A pair of Black Magpie Serial Killers, and Rapist...There day in court is yet to arrive, I'll keep yall posted... JUSTICE FOR PAPI...
All male Australian magpies don’t swoop, it’s estimated that only around 10% do it. Also, if you make friends with that magpie it will eat out of your hand and will never swoop you. They are the smartest birds I have encountered and I have observed them doing unbelievable things. As an example, most birds who see their reflection in a car mirror or similar will try to attack the intruder, and will do it dozens of times until they give up. I have a magpie family that lines up on the rail of my deck watching me inside waiting for food, at the same time they are actively keeping an eye on the reflection in a higher up window and instantly fly away from the reflection to deal with an enemy they have observed entering their territory. I would recommend you all watch the video of an Australian magpie playing with a dog, it is amazing.
8:26 sticking zip ties on your helmet so it ends up looking like a porcupine helps. Also feeding one that lives near your house often takes you off their hit list.
I watch a lot of your videos so when I went to the fair the other day I was shooketh to see a Zebra just roaming around inside a exhibit. Me and my daughter actually got to pet it cause it was being really friendly. What really shook me was the way it interacted with its owner. The Zebra grabbed his soda so he started smacking its nose lightly like it was a misbehaving puppy 😂 was shocked he didn’t get his lights kicked out
Oh screeeeew THAT. Zebras are so vicious, and they like to bite. I wouldn't go anywhere near even the friendliest zebra lol especially with my kid, I just don't trust that it won't take a heaping chunk out of my tricep
9:41 For those of you who don't know, that bird with psychopath tendencies is called a shrike and it's known to kill its prey and impale their corpses on sharp tree branches, which is why they call it the "Butcher Bird".
My hubby told me that if I was reincarnated, I’d come back as a honey badger. At the time, I thought it was a compliment. Now, we’re gonna have to have a discussion about that.😊
But they were never ever cute tho, and if you wanna "talk with him" and use emojis, you deserved those words cus he put up with you enough to fucking marry you consensually
Can confirm, Zebra are far more dangerous than they look. I've worked with one that was raised around people, even then as an experienced handler of domesticated equines, they're a bit like a hot potato. They absolutely will bite or kick if they decided they just don't like you in their space. I recon I was lucky since this one was pretty chill with me, but I'd equally seen him nearly scalp a person for walking past too close to his gate.
I believe it - friend of mine is a vet at a safari type of zoo that has a herd of them & he says he’d rather go a few rounds with the ‘gators than the zebras; says they’re pretty much completely psychotic and dangerous af!
@@gregorydemosthenes4434 TBH I was secretly hoping he did. That woman turned up complaining that a farm had dirt and it wasn't nicely paved for her stilletto's. That's one of my top peeves after the guys that turn up in surf shorts and flip flops expecting to ride and then getting angry when we tell them 'communal wellies or no ride'
@@mohammadnashitsiddiqui2168 LOL thankfully not. He was still only a 2 y o colt at the time. I mean some of the ponies were a bit wild, i don't think a zebra would end well. I certainly wouldn't have been the one to start it under saddle lol
That joke about the elephant turning a rhino from a tight end to a wide out was quite possibly the most clever and funny thing I’ve heard in months. I almost had a legitimate spit take in the break room at work
I saw my first ever Kea a few years ago. It walked along a table to a beer bottle, kicked it off the table, and flew down to drink the spilled beer, after which it flew to the car and started yanking at the windscreen wipers.

The elder woman who got murked by the elephant was actually part of a poaching group and she was one of the other women in the group that was throwing rocks at the adult elephants to distract them so the others could try and grab one of the calves. An elephant never forgets.

As an Australian, I greatly appreciate you educating people outside Australia about magpies.
Well, I'm Dutch and we have Magpies too, just not that agressive 😅
I feel like he missed out on willie wag tails though. No one knows about those tiny, insane, angry bastards that desperately want to kill everyone, but can't. I've never been swooped by a maggie, but we have willie wag tails where I live that attack me every year like clockwork, its very cute. Kind of like being hit on the back of the head by a pompom ball.
We have magpies in England and they'd be mortified if they knew about their unruly Australian brethren.
I have actually had blood spurting out my head because of a magpie attack. Vicious little things!
That bit where it said "If you know, you know" on the screen. That was a Shrike. I believe the Great Grey Shrike. a.k.a. The Butcher Bird. i.e. The bird that picks up small animals and impales them on thorn bushes so it can eat them like a kebab. Just knowing that Australian Magpies are close relatives of Shrikes explains a lot.
The octopus just casually punching a fish is the funniest thing I have ever seen
The best part about that clip is the story behind it. I read that the octopus and the fish were hunting partners and the fish had been taking more than his fair share of the prey, so the octopus let the fish know to knock it tf off.
Funniest thing about magpies is the best defense against them is befriending them. If you get on good terms with one family of magpies they will protect you during swooping season and even hang out with you. Oh and it gets better because they pass that info down to the next gen so you can have an entire lineage of magpies be your friends.
Thats what one crow did for me in japan, and after would always come hangout with me whenever he saw me.

i live in australia and have a few stories.
whenever we moved, my mum would always make it a point to sit outside and throw bread on the ground for the magpies to befriend them. we were never swooped once, and the magpies would bring their babies down to get some bread as well. the babies would be almost a full adult but still scream their head off until their parent picked up the chunk of bread they were standing in front of and put it in their mouth for them.
my older brothers had a friend who hated magpies and would throw rocks at them, and subsequently became one of their primary targets. he was coming over to visit one day and was being chased by a couple of them but as soon as he reached our house and was welcomed by mum, the magpies completely backed off and never bothered him again.
we also had a pet kangaroo after a neighbour went hunting pigs and took down a roo with a joey still in its pouch. mum grew up with kangaroos as pets so she was eager for us to have the same experience, but insisted that we only adopt a female, as she had heard of lots of people raising male kangaroos only to get mauled once they grew up and got aggressive. we called ours tink, and she was quite docile for the most part. once she started getting bigger though, she did start trying to attack us and would kick us from behind without warning so we put a bell on her collar to warn us when she was approaching. she was easy to fend off, we kept her at arms length and her kicks couldn't touch us but if she had been any bigger or we had been any smaller - oh man. she did grow out of that behaviour though, i suspect it was the kangaroo version of the moody pubescent teenager phase.
tink was also an omnivore. mum would leave leftovers out for our dogs, things that included meats like bone scraps and spoiled slow-cooked meals, but often tink would come along and help herself first. she was a huge fan of chicken, eggs, and meatwurst. it surprised us, until we heard stories from our neighbours that if larger kangaroos have the opportunity, they have no qualms about picking up birds and small dogs in their claws and snuffing their lights out - not even to eat, just to kill.
made for an interesting childhood on the farm 😂
I would have never imagined, especially after watching this video, that people actually kept kangaroos as pets. Aussies really are as dangerous as the animals that live there.
This is the most Aussie thing I've ever heard.
I mean this in the nicest way possible--this sounds like something a kids show in america would air when representing a new aussie character. My inner kindergartner is screaming "I KNEW IT"
@@luck2626 it's not common, only people in rural areas do it as far as i'm aware. since kangaroos are native you probably also need a permit or something to have one as an official 'pet' but we never bothered, tink was always free to leave and run off into the bush whenever she pleased, which she would often do, but we looked after her so she always came back and stuck around for the most part.
we also couldn't leave the doors open, or else she would jump up the stairs and come inside. her first stop would always be the kitchen to see if there was any food lying around (we would sometimes have garbage bags full of leftover bread from our friends at the local bakery that she LOVED), and failing that she would jump down the hall to my parent's room to take a nap on their bed. mum would always complain about how she left dirt and prickles all over the sheets XD
also fun fact, kangaroos have a very small inner toe, and when tink curled up when we held her or when she laid down she would suck that toe like how a human baby sucks their thumb
Since you are Australian, I want to ask, Do you live near Wombats, And if you do, Are they friendly?
I once saw a conversation between someone from Canada and another person. The second person said “How are Canadians all so nice?”
The Canadian replied “Every year we perform a ritual to place all of our aggression into the geese”

😂 But the geese are named after John Canada… must have been one real angry dude
Or the Germans, don't forget that several articles of the Geneva Convention were made because of the Canadians
That's not surprising.
The thing about corvids in general is they have a kind of society in any given populated area, they communicate with each other about events and they are even capable of recognising different humans and describing them to other corvids! What this means is that corvids will act differently depending on how they interact with humans. In Australia(I'm aboriginal) there was a fad of collecting bird eggs especially among young boys for a long time, I believe that that was what resulted in such animosity from magpies against humans, my evidence is that magpies attacking people has always been peculiarly common is specific areas and that magpies attacks have dropped at lot in recent years. I believe that it was a combination of that fad and also that children(and adults) are generally much less likely to harrass animals these days. If anyone even reads this book........😂
PS. I don't even know anyone under like 40 or 50 who has been swooped by a maggie
I did. Good job!
Orcas may also be able to speak english. This was discovered when a scuba diver cleaning an orca tank started hearing a booming, chest shaking, all surrounding voice saying *"GET. OUT"*
He thought he was going crazy until they realized it was the orca who he was disturbing by going in there and cleaning.
Reasearchers then validated this by training an orca to speak like a parrot does, though significantly more intelligent, and terrifying.
That would be so terrifying. Imagine being in the tank knowing there's absolutely no humans around and hearing that. I'd of thought it was God before it was an Orca. Knowing it was the orca is absolutely terrifying.

The sad thing is people actually believe that
Describing orca as "humans of the sea" is crazy accurate. There is a part of their brain that humans don't have that is solely dedicated to emotional connections and language. Their encephalization quotient is astounding. They pass the "mirror" test as well. Meaning, they know they're looking at themselves and in turn are aware and cognizant of their unique self. It's amazing. They're my favorite animal.
They're awesome and terrifying. They are far too intelligent emotionally and intellectually to be kept in captivity, it's cruel.
orcas are not your friends they can be murderers tolkien named orcs after orcas
Back in the days of whaling, Orcas used to help waling vessels find and isolate targeted species of whale because some of the meat and organs would be dumped back in the sea after the desired parts were harvested. So they'd just show humans who to target and then let humans do the meal prep.

TC 11:57 Back Story --- Those 3 male elephants that went wilding were part of a group of juvenile elephants (male and female) that were re-located far away from their home herd. The group of teenagers was dropped off and left to fend with no mentorship or guidance from the Family elephants. The 3 males went on rhino targeted 'clockwork orange' spree. The females elephants of the group wisely booked it. The rangers and biologist can't control these 3. They relocated an OG male elephant from their old hood to correct these lost youth. It worked. The punky leader caught that OG trunk to the grill and order was restored. The video is out there.
Thank you. If you hadn't clarified this situation, I would have. Also, studies in elephant socialization suggest that young male elephants that go rogue were often raised in family units without female elders. Apparently, mommy might be good for love and comfort, but it's the old grandma elephants that teach them manners. (By the way, loved the Clockwork Orange reference. Little El-ex got his!)

I'm so happy that two Aussie animals made it. I remember my primary school put out a reminder/warning every swooping season because the magpies would nest at one end of the oval. The benefit to them remembering faces is that if you feed the local magpies they not only leave you alone they bring the next generation around to learn that you're a friend. They also learn your habits and help out with tasks like gardening or keeping other birds away from your fruit trees. My grandpa was only ever swooped during the mask mandates in his area because the maggies didn't recognise him and they've kept the cockatoos away from his fruit trees for years.
I'm remembering that, thank you😁
I was surprised us kiwi's got at least 1 animal in.
a young one came back to me a week after hanging with it for a bit and giving it some crumbs, less cautious around me to other people too so it remembered who i was
I suspect the mask mandates were rough for a lot of people during swooping season.
Wow. Befriending the magpie mafia!
Speaking of Elephants getting revenge, My 7th Grade teacher knew someone who was killed by and Elephant. Basically the guy and the elephant had accidentally snuck up on each other and the elephant proceeded to put its tusk through the guy’s thigh and out his lungs.
So yeah, RIP to that guy.

I had a gigantic crow try and attack me while I still lived in japan, thankfully another very huge crow came by and smacked the attacking crow mid flight.

What a nice crow!
I love that you named him 🥺
There's actually stories of people feeding crows and ravens regularly and discovering that said crows will attack anyone they think is a threat to whoever's feeding them. I'm pretty sure that makes them the only animals on the planet other than dogs you can bribe to attack your enemies.

Kangaroo: likes to fight but doesn't have a predator to worry about
Water Buffalo: CAN fight predators and harm people, but only in self deffence
Corvids: harms people for the fun of it, but only during 6 months when they are around
And it just keeps getting worse
cool thing about corvids though is you can potentially befriend them with patience, consistency and food. piss them off though and they'll live up to the video

I'm glad you pointed out that magpies are not corvids. They are a native species to Australia, but parallel evolution has resulted in similar behaviours to their namesakes in the northern hemisphere and to crows.
Magpies definitely get a lot of negative press, but in Australia, people love them even though they might curse them. They are beautiful birds, and they are fiercely intelligent. Their warbling call has been voted multiple times as Australians' favourite bird call.
But in terms of attacks, more often than not, if you are being swooped by magpies in your own neighbourhood, it's a juvenile who, like most teenagers, is a complete idiot; or you are in an area where you are not known by the families of magpies living there.
When they know you, they usually don't see you as a threat ... unless you act threateningly. Then a magpie is able to identify you for potentially the majority of its natural life, such is their memory. And I've read that they can teach other magpies to identify you as well. So if you upset one, you may upset the entire family.
But interestingly, if you have a dog, and they don't like your dog (which can be a common occurrence) they will swoop the dog but not you. They understand where dog finishes and you begin. Lol
Finally, magpies might get the bad rap, but not far after them Is the highly territorial lapwing plover, and of course Australian "noisy miner" (not a mynah). This bird will often scuffle with crows and magpies for territory, and it will swoop you relentlessly when you come into its territory. It has also has a face that looks perpetually grumpy. Lol
Funny story: A friend of mine who ran a cafe had to stop putting sugar packets outside on the tables because the noisy miners would pull them out of the containers poke holes in the packets and eat the sugar. Of course they would leave sugar all over the tables so that they were sticky and disgusting. But, the magpies started doing it too, because they saw the noisy miners doing it. Then you had both tribes not only causing havoc with the sugar but warring over it between each other.
The Noisy Miners are the most annoying Aussie birds IMO. I’ve seen them swooping so many birds and people. They’re absolute A-Holes. I’ve never seen a more territorial bird. Magpies will only swoop when they’re nesting, but Noisy Miners will swoop cause they like “this tree” better than “the other one”. White Cockatoos are probably more destructive, but they’re much more loveable IMO. They’re more similar to a mischievous kid. They’re very smart, very curious, and so beautiful, so they’re easy to love.
When you didn't cheat on the test but got almost the same answer as someone else
Interesting fact I recently learned about magpies. They are super smart, like crows and ravens. And because, like you said, they can remember faces they will remember you talking to them and bing nice to them. So you can totally make friends with your local magpies and they'll be less likely to swoop you in the spring. I say "less likely" because I don't know if it's a definite. But it's nearly spring here now and I've spent the last month saying hello to every magpie I see in my neighbourhood, so I'll report back in a couple of months... Or I won't, and you'll know it didn't work.
Commenting purely to have first dibs on if you survived.

As an Aussie, I can confirm that maggies and roos have serious Black Air Force Energy. So much so that when a magpie flew into the garden section of my workplace, I tried to make friends with it. She bit me a few times when I tried to, but I didn’t care; I just wanted a Birb friend.
O wow! Pray tell how this developed!
How did you close enough for her to bite you?!
@@Weirdkauz Because she mostly fed off of any food scraps that customers have left behind, she was tolerating enough of us to not swoop or relentlessly attack. I was slow and cautious around her so that way she didn’t freak out too much.
An update on this story, one of my colleagues took her home and she was chill around him during the drive home. The next morning when he went to feed her and other magpies in his yard, the magpie found a partner for herself and is now roaming free.

I’m in Berlin, where there’s lot’s of Corvus Corvus, the common crow. When there’s Snow covering all ground, I sometimes feed them. At first, this led to me being attacked when they wanted more, but I taught them quickly that any kind of unfriendly approach would lead to no more food that day. From me. They quickly got that, I have been attacked three times in total, and no more, for years now. Other people, who let themselves be bullied to give out more then they originally planned, have had to resort to wearing bike helmets and sturdy hats… the crows do recognise specific humans, even in different clothing, other hairstyles, and so forth. I, on the other hand, have not been able to distinguish between crows at all, in spite of trying.

I don't know what is funnier. The words you're saying, or the way you deliver them. XD You, sir, are a treasure.
I'm glad you mentioned crows in Japan. Those things are freaking huge, like almost twice the size of crows in North America. The common crow in North America typically has a ~36" wingspan and weighs a bit over 1 lb. The Large-Billed Crow common in Japanese cities has a wingspan of ~48 inches and weighs a bit over 2 lbs. In Japanese cities, in the areas where people leave out trash for pickup, they have plastic netting to put the trash under, or the crows will drag it all over the place trying to get into anything edible. The name is on-point, too; their beaks are the size of my thumb. They have zero fear of humans. I doubt their dangerous to humans, but they give zero F's. In cities, they're like pigeons on steroids and Bane serum.
thanks ill be sure to bring a shooing stick if i ever get to visit
@@skiffy8121 lol, not that I disagree, crows are a menace here in my area too. They actually appear to have driven the natural birds in the local area to extinction and crows are an invasive species in my place, as they are in most places, so I don't mind smacking a few of those jerks. They murdered all the baby birds, bother the chickens, yeah they need to git.

I like how the kangaroo had to think twice about the car. Bro was about to hop back the opposite way but decided he didn't have anything better to do and double stomped it 😭
"Will I choose violence today? Hmm. Yes. Yes of course I choose violence. STOMP TIME!"
If a kangaroo jumped on my car I’d 180 and we’d play chicken.
Just like any other Australian.
I had no idea how much I needed this channel in my life 😭🤣
You have the BEST animal commentary on CZcams. 😂 Love your vids.
9:41 For those who don't know or didn't guess it, that's a shrike. Shrikes are also known as butcherbirds, because once they kill their prey they impale it on a tree branch, and they keep a pantry of these things around their nest. Side note, I was today years older when I found out they were related to Australian magpies
@Tsunzucchini TzatzikiSan Pretty much
They often don't even bother to kill their prey first. They're impaled alive.
@@ShadeSlayer1911 Like Vlad!
@@EC-dz4bq Yes, like him.
Their cruelty (to our sensibilities) has also inspired a sci fi monster in a novel series, called the Shrike.
@@ShadeSlayer1911 Lol, it will prob be a future movie too. Prob on Netflix
Kangaroos actually did used to have a lot of predators to worry about. A lot of the most absurdly OP carnivores since the extinction of the non-avian dinosaurs made their home in Australia prior to going extinct.
Yeah, Australian aborigines have stories about massive carnivores that went extinct way before colonisers arrived.
Than... kangaroos killed all of them?
@@samsunggalaxynote8984 Nah, that was humanity’s fault.
To add, some of these predators were Megalania, a 15-23 foot long (no one's really sure) Komodo relative, Quinkana, a terrestrial crocodile of the same size, and possibly Thylacoleo, a "marsupial lion" who would ambush prey by jumping out of trees.
Actually, all of them being gone might've made the roos more confident. Because we may have wiped out the other predators, but we are FAR easier to take out.
@@FlyingFocs Dang, I knew about Megalania, but I thought all the land crocs died out before the dinosaurs.
bro actually makes learning fun😂
Gotta say … you make the absolute most entertaining nature videos!! You’re fun, informative and hysterical 😺 so thank you❤
Really, Lord Casual should have a television show. His animal humor is a million times better than anything SNL has put out in the last decade IMHO. Even the background music was great - it reminded me of a 1970s NFL film. Perfect.

Can I just say mad respect that this guy always reminds us not to give money if we don't have it? He just appreciates us watching the video to help with ad revenue and such and I love that.
Not often someone just thanks you for watching their videos and doesn't hassle for money. 1 more reason I love this channel
1of the the you tubers I will let any add less than 2:00 run clear through
It's reverse psychology. By telling you that you shouldn't feel bad about not being able to give money it plants a sense of guilt if you do have a solid economy but still haven't contributed. And all that without having to beg.

This is the 3rd of your videos I've watched in succession. Never knew you existed... but I have a new favorite CZcams channel.

The elephant vs old lady incident happened in Odissa, India which is very near to my home. She used to stay near the forest and used to go there to collect woods. When this particular elephant once roaming around, she threw some stones which reportedly injured it badly. A few days later, the elephant came to the village, completely ransacked it and killed the woman. Next day it returned again during the funeral and ransacked the funeral place. This is a true story, the only part which is wrong is, her house or funeral place was right next to the forest and not 100 km away.
It looked like others could've been hurt 😕🙁☹️
Another comment said she was in a group of poachers and with another woman threw stones to distrsct the elephant so the poachers could steal a child
Can you validate that in anyform or is it just an urban myth
We've all heard those elephants have been constantly losing herd members to poachers in that area which is why they aren't having any nonsense from humans.
@@OlaDeen2018 collateral damage.
It's because the way God had made them they are very sensitive animals. They will remember you that is why that elephant did what it did.
Pretty much the 🐘 went gangster and decided to take care of the situation and it did!
As a New Zealander, I can safely say that Kea don't necessarily terrorise us, but they're very mischievous and naughty birds.

There are three known deaths from a magpie attack: one caused by tetanus, a second when an elderly cyclist crashed his bicycle while attempting to avoid being dive-bombed, and most recently in August 2021 a third death when a baby died as a mother tried to protect her from a swooping magpie

As an Australian who used to be deathly afraid of magpies because of the bad reputation they have, I've actually been spending the last few years trying to turn around that reputation. While magpies can be relentless while defending their territory, it's also a matter of defending themselves. Because of their territory-defending habits, humans came to see them in a bad enough light that the magpies often end up being victim to attacks and harassment who (wrongfully) believe that the birds are going to tear their eyes out just for existing - so, naturally, the birds fight back. However, they're also smart enough that they can be befriended. If you treat a magpie with respect, it'll respect you right back, and not only will it remember you, but it'll pass that information onto other magpies in the area, as well as their children. If you're nice enough to a magpie it'll let you feed it, play with it, and they can even be trained to mimic human speech. The amount of magpie cullings that have taken place around the country because of human stupidity and aggression is honestly devstating, because these birds have the capacity to be quite firnedly if they're simply treated well.
I had no idea! That's amazing. Thank you for sharing 😊
Its swooping behaviour is only on mainland Australia as well, Tasmanian magpies don’t attack people. It’s probably a learned behaviour as urban environment destroyed Magpie habitat breeding area’s.
My father was robbed, sexually assaulted, and murdered by 2 black Magpies...So say whatever you want about them being misunderstood, whatever makes you feel any better about yourself...I call bullshit on anything that you say in defense of those winged black devils...My father begged them to let him go, he told them that he had a family, he promised them that he wouldn't go to the authorities...They just circled him, and took bites out of him all while maniacally Squawking, and kept torturing my daddy til 4 hrs later he horrifically died from massive blood loss... Nobody witnessed this but those animals left their DNA all over, and inside of my father...It actually took over 15 yrs for us to get any justice for what was done... Detectives had no witnesses, leads, or any way to move forward with our case....That is til the F.B.I.'s Cold Cases Squad took over the case and were able to run new tests on the foreign D.N.A. found inside of daddy, which led to the identification of more victims, and the eventual arrest of the first ever in recorded history, A pair of Black Magpie Serial Killers, and Rapist...There day in court is yet to arrive, I'll keep yall posted... JUSTICE FOR PAPI...
All male Australian magpies don’t swoop, it’s estimated that only around
10% do it. Also, if you make friends with that magpie it will eat out of
your hand and will never swoop you. They are the smartest birds I have
encountered and I have observed them doing unbelievable things.
As an example, most birds who see their reflection in a car mirror or
similar will try to attack the intruder, and will do it dozens of times until
they give up. I have a magpie family that lines up on the rail of my deck
watching me inside waiting for food, at the same time they are actively
keeping an eye on the reflection in a higher up window and instantly
fly away from the reflection to deal with an enemy they have observed
entering their territory. I would recommend you all watch the video of
an Australian magpie playing with a dog, it is amazing.
legend ^^
8:26 sticking zip ties on your helmet so it ends up looking like a porcupine helps. Also feeding one that lives near your house often takes you off their hit list.
Your videos are so damn funny dude! I laugh and learn so much, they’re so good!! You’re amazing at what you do!
I watch a lot of your videos so when I went to the fair the other day I was shooketh to see a Zebra just roaming around inside a exhibit. Me and my daughter actually got to pet it cause it was being really friendly. What really shook me was the way it interacted with its owner. The Zebra grabbed his soda so he started smacking its nose lightly like it was a misbehaving puppy 😂 was shocked he didn’t get his lights kicked out
@Thank me later ip grabber
My guess is that it must have been handraised.
@@saiyasha848 mine would have been a horse that was painted to look like a zebra but idk if that’s a dumb theory or not
It was most likely trained to be like that
Oh screeeeew THAT. Zebras are so vicious, and they like to bite. I wouldn't go anywhere near even the friendliest zebra lol especially with my kid, I just don't trust that it won't take a heaping chunk out of my tricep

Can confirm, Zebra are far more dangerous than they look.
I've worked with one that was raised around people, even then as an experienced handler of domesticated equines, they're a bit like a hot potato. They absolutely will bite or kick if they decided they just don't like you in their space. I recon I was lucky since this one was pretty chill with me, but I'd equally seen him nearly scalp a person for walking past too close to his gate.
I believe it - friend of mine is a vet at a safari type of zoo that has a herd of them & he says he’d rather go a few rounds with the ‘gators than the zebras; says they’re pretty much completely psychotic and dangerous af!
Lmao, zebra scalping a person freaking hilarious

I saw my first ever Kea a few years ago. It walked along a table to a beer bottle, kicked it off the table, and flew down to drink the spilled beer, after which it flew to the car and started yanking at the windscreen wipers.
