I live in Colombia and was very nice to hear you talk about the animals from my country. Actually when the pandemic was going on, a jaguar had to be rescued and relocated from a post light in a neighbourhood like half an hour away from my place, and this is not the Amazon region but the Andean, they roam around a lot in all this side, never seen, just found because of the lockdown.
Also, when you were talking about spiders I remembered this very strange animal I saw once when I was in the pacific, in the natural park "Málaga", there you can go and see whales, but I was in a river and saw a massive huge spider like… underwater!! My husband and I just walked out of the water slowly and left, but up until today we have no idea what was that, it didn't look like a crab, but like a big black spider.

Guns kill except vampire bats stop getting your information from people who don't live in the areas the animals or insects come from it sounds redundant asf example Crocs stay in Florida are they extinction quality or thrive???;!!!

Not a lot of people know but here in Canada we have a caterpillar that is straight up hell spawn. When I was super small (5 probably) I loved climbing into trees during the spring and I came across, what i thought, were adorable fluffy black and yellow caterpillars. My happy ass let them climb on me, I gave them kisses I promised we would be friends forever and never part…then the itching happened. I scrumpt a scream that I could never replicate again as it was akin to the blowing of the ragnorak horn. My mom, panicking, threw me in a bath and the surface of the water was COVERED in floating black hairs. I dunno how long or how many showers it took, I clearly blocked off that memory due to trauma. However til this day if a caterpillar isn't crawling around looking like plump larvae or a wrinkly, grandpa's ballsack, I instantly feel nauseous if they have even a mimicry of hair on them. So yeah

12:08 during this same time period, there were only 60-70 unprovoked fatal shark attacks. Since the general public still pretends sharks are "vicious killers." This is <10% of those snake stats.

I’m Aussie and there’s no farking way you’d get me to go deep into the Amazon!
Technically there’s nothing here in Oz that will hunt you, other than a salty croc if you are in his territory but that’s simple to avoid!
But in the Amazon…. The friggen sap from plants and trees will kill you let alone the wildlife!

I got to see one of these beauties just a few days ago! I had heard of it before, but seeing it in person, even if it was a young specimen, was truly something special.
I actually got to meet with someone who is doing a study specifically on Bothrops atrox, and I learned a lot about them. It's a criminally understudied species, and I think its amazing that you are shedding some light on it.
As a South American deeply in love with our fauna, I loved this video! Keep up the excellent work my man!

Yeah, it's basically always true that if you're going to be killed by an Animal, it's most likely to be a Mosquito, or a Human.

Some of those critters are common all throughout Brazil, such as wandering spiders, pit vipers, and vampire bats. Another one that is extremely common throughout the country is the Brazilian yellow scorpion. It's extremely toxic and a common pest in many urban areas, but not as common in the Amazon itself.

Funny thing is that most of those jaguar videos weren't shot in Amazon but Pantanal wetlands. Completely different biomes and because of that, their jaguars are totally different from one to another. Because the dense forest, Amazon jaguar tends to be smaller and agile while the open pantanal wetlands benefits huge stronger ones. Stories about jaguar killing giants anacondas or fighting Caymans are much more common in Pantanal.

There was an ad after the TW so I just heard that the reptile worse than the Cayman was vaginal suppositories. I mean it's not incorrect but funny regardless

All of these pretty much never do anything to humans and are very shy animals. They're not dangerous like Australia crazy venomous fauna/flora + the deathly neurotoxins from shit like jellyfishes and snakes.

Australia falls roughly in the "deadly and hilarious" category. It's that one guy at the party that's always got a beer in hand and cracks dark/inappropriate jokes that you can't help laugh at sometimes. Probably named Kevin and you sometimes find him passed out on your couch and a window broken, but that's just good ol' Kevin. The Amazon is NOT named Kevin and does NOT have a sense of humor.

Fun Fact: The Brazillian Wild Pig is such a menace that the government put a bounty per head on them. It is the only animal the Brazillian Government wants GONE. Plus, it is an invasive species that came from boars making it with domestic pigs. And they wont die for nothing
