    The two scariest things about the Travis incident, at least for me:
    1. You can HEAR Travis in the 911 call... made worse by the operator thinking it was a prank and not taking it seriously at first.
    2. If it wasn't for her forgetting the attack, the last visual memory Nash would ever have would have been an enraged chimpanzee tearing her apart.

    • @shadowdroid776

      It's not exactly forgetting the event, but more of repressing it. Think about it: this event was so awful, so traumatizing and hellish, most people wouldn't be able to process what happened entirely. So, the mind subconsciously takes that painful memory and kind of pushes it down, locking it away. That memory is still in there somewhere, it's just not going to be actively remembered because it would cause too much pain for the individual. Basically your mind knows it cannot handle re-living those events at the moment and hides it away.
      Some people end up remembering repressed memories after some time, some never do. In her case, I would see repressing a chimpanzee attack as a good thing. If that happened to me, I'd never want to remember what torturous agony I was put through.

      Because chimps for the longest time and still to this day from what I know. Are framed as jovial, happy, chill and maybe a little dopey. Combined that with the knowledge that they are second in intelligence only to us gives the impression that owning one would be fine. Little do people know that no matter how cautious, well meaning or even skilled you are at raising one. Chimps are chimps. Ticking timebombs at best and psychopathic, sadistic bastards at worst.

      I've actually had to work taking care of a couple dozen macaques, and they also bare their teeth as a sign of aggression. Let me be clear: if that chimp was smiling like that as a sign of aggression, somebody would have very likely been mauled the moment they approached to retrieve the baby. Primates like that are quick to violence when they are like that unless you back off slowly while making the appropriate submissive expression (head tilted slightly whilst moving your lips like you are making a popping sound) and not looking at them directly (and even then they can still end up charging you).
      What's more likely, given the context of the chimp being raised by humans and chimps generally being quite intelligent, is that the chimp in question has picked up on how humans use smiles and, like a child learning to speak, mimicked it's "parents" in the application thereof.
      The problem comes in situations where the chimp legitimately feels stressed and/or threatened as people generally wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the learned "I'm happy" smile and the instinctive "Back off now" smile.

    If you want to be really mad, look up the chimpanzee Lucy, who some 1960s "scientists" literally raised as if she were their human daughter. They taught her to dress herself, make tea, use silverware and furniture. When she became sexually mature, her psychotherapist "father" gave her a playgirl magazine to see if she was aroused by human men (she was). He then tried to introduce her to a male chimp, and she was terrified because she'd never met another chimp before.
    When she turned 12 and was too strong and dangerous to continue living with them, they just took her to a preserve in Gambia. Even though the people working there said she was not a good fit for rehabilitation and instead should go to a chimp retirement home where she could safely continue to live like she had all her life with all the food, magazines, toys, and tea that she was used to (but maybe not the gin and "alone time" with porn mags and a vacuum cleaner). But her "parents" left her there and returned to the US after a few weeks, and her "dad" published a book about the experiment of raising her that same year that they abandoned her.
    It was a university student that stayed at the center for years to try and help her assimilate. She never did. She never showed attraction to the male chimps or got a mate. She didn’t want anything to do with the other chimps and was clearly depressed. She refused to eat and would sign "hurt" to the student.
    It took almost a decade for her to actually begin to integrate with the chimps. A year after she did finally start to live with them, her dead body was found. The student thinks it may have been poachers that killed her (since her hands were missing). If it was, she would have probably just walked right up to them to say hello.

There's biological processes that happen when animals are infants that shape how they behave when adults. She was raised by humans and had literally never seen another chimp before. If something as different to humans as a falcon can think it should court people instead of birds, it follows that an ape would too. And it makes the story even sadder.

    She easily could have choose to run as her boyfriend told her to do, but stayed and attempted to help get him away from the bear, and was killed as well.

I remember seeing a clip of Timothy talking with a bear walking right by him. The bear decides to take a swat at him and that freakin guy swats back at the bear, and then points his finger at it and admonishes it like it's a housecat. Then starts doing baby talk at it.

    You know, if Travis was allowed to get his pent-up energy and emotions out instead of being locked and drugged in a house, he probably would have been fine. Animals are not humans, and they can't survive like humans do. As someone who has a lot of exotic pets, you have to let your pets be what they are. You also have to take extreme caution when their routine gets interrupted or emotional trauma is present. They will never behave like a human. Even I'm at fault for almost killing my tarantula while rehousing her. I had to dig her out of her burrow, and despite handling her multiple times with no issue, she was stressed and proceeded to jump out of my hand. If I hadn't caught her, she would have splattered on the ground. Even after catching her, she skittered up my arm, and I had to remain still while she crawled all over me until she calmed down. Instead of catching her in a cup, like I should have done, I figured I could handle her and then put her into a cup for safe keeping. I didn't take into account that I just tore her house up and forced her out of her environment as when I usually handle her, I coax her out very slowly so she can adjust comfortably to being manipulated. It's not her fault for freaking out. It's my fault as her caretaker for not accounting for her emotional distress and what she might do, and that's just a spider! Imagine a tiger, chimp, or bear being put in an uncomfortable situation and having no way to communicate. They're going to lash out, regardless of who's around them. An animal is only as manageable as its needs and desires allow. Instinct WILL kick in when things are abnormal for the animal, and they will respond how they would respond in the wild. Domestication can only happen when the animal is calm and happy. Anything else, and you should expect a wild animal to behave like a wild animal. Even if you've raised a tiger from a cub. You're only its caretaker and WILL become food or a target of aggression if it needs to.

That seemed smart to me since not only was the food not all in one place for them to fight over, but when the chimps came running over to see what was put in, she wasn't anywhere near it when they got there. And even then there were some smart ones who seemed ready to take it right out of her hand by going ahead on the route. Zookeepers are smart to keep as much distance as they can from these guys.

    Sultan was actually a plain old regular vanilla box-standard tiger, but the filmmakers wanted him to look more unique, or I guess you could say "cooler" so they dyed the big cat actor black. Wouldn't be so bad except the dye they used was toxic and caused the big cat's health to deteriorate until he passed away two years later...

    Some “fun” facts about the bear guy, Tim that op didn’t mention, and got a little wrong:
    1.) It wasn’t Rangers who found their bodies, it was a pilot who flew Tim back and forth to the bears, and their bodies weren’t alone when he found them, they were still being eaten.
    2.) Tim knew the bear that killed them, and he didn’t like the bear. I believe he nicknamed it Grumpy, because he was an old bear, and didn’t care for Tim. Grumpy was also missing teeth, and the ones he wasn’t missing were just stumps.
    3.) Going off of #2, because Grumpy’s teeth were so bad, he couldn’t kill Tim and his gf as fast as other healthier bears could, which means Tim’s and his gf’s deaths were slow and painful.
    4.) In the recording (transcription) Tim told his gf to run, but she refused and tried to help him as he was attacked first. It would have been futile for her to run though as there was nowhere to go. They were too deep in the woods where the only way in or out was a small plane with a small runway in the middle of nowhere, and she didn’t have the radio.
    5.) When the pilot found their bodies Grumpy was chewing on Tim’s rib cage, and he had already buried some of their remains for later.
    5.) Grumpy was killed and their body parts were exhumed for burial, but not all of them were found. So little was found that altogether they could fit into one casket.
    .) This could have been avoided had Tim decided to leave when he originally wanted to because they were there during bear’s preparation for hibernation where they become desperate to eat as much as possible, and Grumpy with his messed up teeth was especially desperate.

      @@GuyfromEarth3000 ??? I am literally talking about domestic cats and comparing them to big cats.
      Big cats are not domesticated. They can not BE domesticated, even if you have them from cubhood. They may become tame, but even then, they are still wild animals, and still cats.
      Domestic cats and big cats will do a lot of the same things. Which includes scratching and biting as a result of perceived slights and stressors. Like explained in the video, the likely explanation behind Roy's tiger going at him, is that he changed the routine without warning. In a domestic cat, that may result in spraying, appetite loss, moodiness, etc. You can expect much the same with a big cat, except this tiger is also in front of a live audience (lots of noise and people) with music and people speaking on mic (lots of noise and chaos) which is going to result in a much bigger reaction - so, straight to the aggression. The tiger even gave him warning in the same way a domestic cat may have, through bites that are not meant to hurt (though being a tiger, they will).
      The comparison goes this way - if a domestic cat will do it, expect a big cat to. If a domestic cat bites from stress, expect a big cat to. Anything harmful a domestic cat does, any wild cat will also do, but it will be 10x worse. If my domestic cat bites me, it's one thing - it won't kill me. If my "pet" tiger does it, that's a life-threatening issue.
      So when people are shocked that a tiger they raised from cubhood actually bites, that's horseshit behaviour on their part from thinking they could not only take the wild out of an animal, but the cat out of a cat. Tigers will bite. Not a question of if, but when. Wild animals will be wild. They will shit, piss, bite, scratch, kick, scream, and do every natural thing they do in the wild no matter how "tame" you think they are.

      I think its because we smile a specific way via stretching our lips up and with our eyes squinted. Other animals smile differently via by lifting their lips up (most animals like dogs do this) and eyes wide, so instinctually, we know its not right
      Its also why we also get freaked out if we see people smiling too much with their eyes wide open, because we just know its not the nice kind. We're wired to pick up when some expression isn't normal despite it being something that should be. Wide eyes tend to be a sign of surprise/fear or aggression with us, so when its paired with something comforting like a smile it doesn't look right.
      Its also why we freak out when any expression in general is being exaggerated or mixed up in some way, its goes against what we're instinctually wired to recognize and connect with some feeling. Lets say you have relaxed lips but wide eyes and relaxed brows and stare at someone like that, it'll look unsettling because your expression is giving unreadable/different signals and it'll just immediately just get labeled as a sign of threat/danger.

    An additional note to this already horrific story. Travis was given a dose of anti-depressants by his caregiver, Sandra, without a doctor's/vet's evaluation.
    So Sandra just gave doses based off of her own beliefs on what she thought he needed. It's speculated that the attack on Sandra's friend, Charla Nash, was caused by Travis having heavy, negative side effect to the meds, causing hysteria.
    Sandra was negligent and had the choice to call for professional help when Travis was having his breakdown. Instead, she called Charla to help her control Travis. Sad fact, supposedly Charla often felt uneasy around Travis and only helped as much as she did over the years to support her friend, Sandra.
    Charla Nash lost both her eyes and cannot see anymore. The eyes you see in her most recent photos are glass eyeballs.
    If you listen to the 911 call when this attack was occurring, it was incredibly haunting. The screams of Charla in the background while Sandra was losing it over the phone.
    Rest in peace to Travis and a long, peaceful life for Charla. I pray that no one ever does what Sandra does, ever again.

Missy's situation was heartbreaking; she was confined to a fairly small cage while waiting for her quarantine time to pass, & (like all the big cats, all the time) absolutely no one was allowed in with her. She couldn't understand why her former friends wouldn't play with her, & petting her thru the chain link was not satisfying to her. She never would be able to be with her own kind OR humans, for the rest of her life. Her life was a miserable mess, because humans tried to make her be something she could never be. (Chimps are even worse, "taming"-wise.) Ever time I think of that poor big cat, so lost, confused, & depressed, it makes me want to cry.

    A pair of chimps tearing Davis to shreds is pretty horrific, but ALSO, I can't imagine how horrific it would be to go to a hospital, teetering on the edge of death, and have them just go, "nah!" and refuse to treat you like you were already a corpse. That's terrible.

    with the bear guy the tape was given to his ex who he still was good friends with, and she's vowed to never listen to it, with a german documentary guy telling her she should destroy the tape after he listened to it
