Coming from a lion fan who’s listened to you badmouth them for a few years,
Respect
👍🏼
We all get things wrong and I don’t hold it against you
Also, the highest lions bite force is actually higher than a tiger
But I think it would be more fair to say their bites are equal
But I prefer lions and I know you prefer tigers
And I completely understand it’s hard to look past your own bias

You have to recheck your facts about white tigers and ligers too. You're getting them from biased sources/AR groups with special interests. 😢 White tiger DNA has been tested and found to be as much diff genetically as orange ones (far more than purebred dogs which all have as much genetic sameness as LITTERMATES), for example, and ligers tend to live on avg 17.7 yrs, only 3 years less on avg than parent species. But naturally it's due to size, kinda like how Irish wolfhounds live on avg 6-8 yrs vs 17 yrs for its wild parent species despite being the same species—the wolf. Yet no one is saying it's unethical to breed them. Ofc they're also far more inbred (as much as littermates…) but when it comes to exotic animals, they ALWAYS get judged on double standards.

Possum's will eat anything bigger than a sugar ant that are trying to get in your house from your basement. They are excellent pest control to keep under your house. Just like bats are excellent mosquito control. Put a bat house on the side of your house, you'll notice a big decrease in your mosquito population during the warmer months.

the reason baby snakes can be more dangerous isnt venom related, instead the reason they are more dangerous is because they are small. wich means their head is closer to their tale wich makes it easer to get bitten

Ok so I think the explaination for why the Possum lacked any ticks might be due to the ticks maybe due to the regular body temperature with the tick thinking the possum is past tense thus moved to the other animals.

There isn't a person in this universe that's right 100% of the time. I call these instances "learning opportunities". Anytime I have a disagreement with someone about a science fact, I look it up on credible sites/journals. If I'm wrong, then I learned something 😊.

He talked about animals dying standing up well humans can too if u stick enough arrows in them apparently. look up the standing death of benkei its one of the greatest last stand stories from history almost as good as the last stand of the few Spartans who retreated from the gates of Thermopoli. Side note the movie 300 literally skips the most bad ass part of the battle at Thermopoli and Spartans wore armor why so naked😂

You're not alone, Far Cry 3 gets it's wrong with what happens after a Komodo Dragon bites you. It doesn't even factor in the bacteria and anticoagulants aspects by slowly killing you unless you use enough syringes to heal. Either that, or Jason from SoCal, is somehow a god of the Rook island at the end that anything finds him to be too difficult to kill.

All monitors have horrible bites. (Ignoring the physical damage)
I have two northern blue tongue skinks aka scaley corgi aka yes I'm the queen of America lol, but I am friends with monitor owners…. Who have been munched… Even the small monitor species (ackies, tree monitors, etc) have crazy bites past the physical damage. There is something up with their mouth …maybe venom super lite or bacteria that really doesn't agree with us??? You are supposed to rinse the wound in watered down bleach according to my mentor who breeds large monitors. Everyone I know IRL who has been monitor chomped says there is something different about it. Not in a good way… Infections and even the smallest wounds take forever to heal.
Knock on wood I've never been chomped. I have very dopy lizards tho that enjoy or don't mind company. They are also lots of generations domesticated. I know my blueys wouldn't make it in the wild for a day. They come out of their cage to hang in my lap while I watch t.v. ect. My female will only eat expensive dog food on her white plates not anywhere else not even the floor. My other male bluey will eat pretty much anything.. bugs, veggies, cat food, etc. One time he thought a string end on a fancy blanket was some sort of bug so I had to pull the string out of his mouth while he was trying to shake the piece of blanket. He didn't get hurt or anything.

Heads up, the rabies and body temp thing for Opposums, is actually also a myth, or at least unsubstantiated at best. If you go down the rabbit hole of 'well this is why oppsums don't get rabies' you'll find 3 things 1. pretty much all evidence provided by even extremely reputable sources are 'common knowledge' based with either circular or no research and 2. There have been confirmed cases of opposums getting rabies. And 3. It's difficult to safely (and humanely) test for this, especially when it comes to wild Opposum. We don't really know for sure why rabies is found less in them.

Neil deGrasse Tyson is referring to The Learning Curve aka Dunning Kruger Effect. Look it up and you will understand what he is talking about. People who think they know a lot are naive and confident, but don't know a lot. Realism but knowing quite a bit is a pit of despair. Once you reach complete mastery, you know what you know but can learn more as information comes out.

11:46 – The Dunning Kruger Effect.
The graph starts are zero, 'Not knowing anything,' then quickly spikes up the false sense of 'I know everything,' and then gradually drops to 'I have so much more to learn' before gradually climbing back up towards all encompassing knowledge. A confidence Y axis compared to an experience X axis.
There are many amusing images of the interpretation of the Dunning Kurger Effect out on the internet.
I mean, I don't know exactly what Dr Tyson is talking about, that's just the immediate interpretation I thought of; so I could be completely wrong.

2 things ya never wanna feed in Canada, the bears or the geese. Both get cocky and demanding once accustomed to human feeding, and our national murder chicken may be less fatal than a bear but ya are 10x likelier to see em and they have numbers. Hell, I have been chased up a tree as a kid for the cardinal sin of possessing fries in a park with a large flock used to tourists feeding em…..

I've been binge watching you ever since I worked out (a few hours ago) that you're like a more intense Tierzoo with slightly less gamer references. I planned to sub when I saw the first three or five seconds of this video. But that Shane Dawson joke sealed the deal. XDDD

That ‘I’ll believe the guy with 16 million followers’ comment really is the internet at its worst. Not to attack that person, a lot of people are of that mindset, but that confusion of fame and expertise is so pervasive and insidious it needs to be challenged and set straight, and it’s especially useful for those people with the millions of followers to do so. So 👍👍 for that.
