This video was about weird and terrifying animals, you know, with the weirdest animal is. us, we love to be afraid. No other animal does this. You don't see gazelles on the Serengeti dressing up as cheetahs fruit. And there are well studied psychological reasons why humans enjoy being frightened. And we have a video coming up all about fear and phobias. So hit all the stuff to make sure you don't miss it. It's going to be our weirdest video yet. You know what's weird? Your skin tone. What now? What shade of orange is that itself?

Tanner Tan. Are you kidding? It's orange. I'm trying to do a thing here. You look like a new inmate at a prison where they eat nothing but carrots. I don't know what that means. Yeah, you do. Now we indulge in all kinds of different ways to scare each other. One of our favorite ways monsters, werewolves, zombies, Chupacabra, Bigfoot, the Loch. Ness Monster, we get a satisfyingly fun chill when we hear stories about these creatures. Now, Bigfoot in the Loch Ness Monster aren't real or are they?

But here are 10 terrifying animals that actually exist, but I really wish they didn't. And here's an appetizer. Yo, that's a lizard squirting poisonous blood from its eyeballs. Little black, why, and that's what we call a Segway, folks. Welcome to the Y files, where smart folks like us get together to talk dirty.

Now, if you've got a high IQ and a good sense of humor, hit the like unsubscribe buttons. and that helps keep the content flowing like the Sea of Galilee. What now? Amen, brother. Today's topic is terrifying. Animals and the Earth is about four and a half billion years old. When the Earth was young, it was much hotter. Who wasn't telling me? But as the earth cooled water emerged, it didn't take long for organic compounds to get. together in a process called abiogenesis boom life. When life began over three billion years ago, it was a single cell.

Today, there are over nine million identified species of animals that doesn't even count. plants or anything besides plants and animals. And that's a lot. But according to Nature Dotcom, there's so much biodiversity that over. 90 percent of animals are yet to be discovered and it could take another thousand years. to catalogue them all. Some animal species are awesome puppies, kittens, bacon, but some. are absolutely terrifying. How about you read the names?

I'll fire off a few facts. Let's do it. Number one, giant warned the giant horned lizard where the regal horned. lizard is three ounces of pure terror. Eighty five grams of strike speed is over. Twenty two miles an hour. Thirty five. That's twice as fast as a rattlesnake. It can grab prey five inches away, 13 centimeters in 30 milliseconds. Now it takes one hundred milliseconds for it to blink. So in that time, he can snatch two ants and choke down a whole cricket. Now, this thing is not just fast, it's strong.

If you scale up a horned lizard to the size of a full-grown bull and they go head to. head, the bull is hamburger, given its body to weight ratio. This horned lizard at that scale would yield fourteen thousand pounds of force. A full grown bull, only 6000. But what makes this guy terrifying is his unique defense mechanism. Weaponized eyeballs. When threatened by a predator, it builds up pockets of blood in its eye sockets, and it. could shoot a stream almost six feet accurately.

And its workforce is more than twice that of a fire truck. The scientific term, oh, by the way, the blood, it's toxic. The lizard's main diet is poison. This harvester ants, it's immune to the venom, but it stores the venom and deploys it in. that bloodstream like a bioweapon. And if that blood hits a predator in the mouth or the eyes, it's going to be in pain. It's going to be sick. It's not going to mess with the lizard again. Giant isopod woodlouse or a pill bug is about one centimetre long and they're found all.

over the world. But what happens when you scale one of those up 40 times and throw it in. the ocean? You got yourself a giant isopod giant isopods or deep sea scavengers that. scoot around the ocean floor pretty much eating anything they can find, basically a. Roomba of the sea. Not everyone is terrified of giant isopods in some parts of Asia. They eat them. They do. And if you want to see that, although I don't know why you would, I will link to some. videos of folks cooking and eating giant isopods in the description below.

Star nosed mule, legendary star knows Nosmo, the star knows Moule is one of Canada's most. bizarre species, more bizarre and Canadians be nice. That thing looks like its face exploded into 286. It does with hemorrhoids. That stuff is actually its nose and it's covered in about twenty five thousand scents,

receptors known as Elmers organs we acquired. Its sense of smell is so acute that it can detect odor underwater. Oh boy, I'm glad I can't do that. I bet it's like a sewer in here. I understand. I swim in my own waist. You know, it's time to clean your bowl. I get it. Thank you. The star nose mole is the world's fastest eating mammal. The time it takes for it to find, hunt, catch and devour its prey is less than a quarter. of a second. Its main diet is earthworms, but that doesn't make it any less terrifying.

Amazonian giant Centipede School Upendra Giganto is one of the world's largest centipedes. found throughout South America. This aggressive predator will eat anything. It can overpower animals 10 to 15 times its size insects, spiders, no problem. But this thing will also go after mice, bats, even birds, if it can catch them. Not terrified yet. Well, the centipede, it's also venomous. Oh, boy, can it kill people. They can. At least one human death has been attributed to its bite.

It was found hiding inside a soda can. Cyclops Yawk, a shark should have two eyes, that's it. Well, that's it. Well, this one's a bit of a curveball because this Cyclops shark was real, but it's not. technically a species. A shark fisherman found it inside a pregnant shark. When you say FAO, do you mean cut it out of the belly? I'm going to be sick. Scientists have speculated that this shark fetus was suffering from.

Cyclopedia, meaning having one eye. Cyclopedia is a birth disorder that actually affects one in 16000 animal birds, including. humans. Rarely does an animal Bournemouth Cyclopedia survive birth. But sometimes, like with this calf born last year in India, they do make it. The terrifying. Goblin shock, the goblin shark is a rare species of deep sea shark whose lineage goes back. a hundred and twenty five million years, its jaws are not connected to its skull, so it.

can kind of shoot out its teeth like a second base. It has the fastest jaws in the ocean so fast you can only see it in slow motion. What terrifies me is that face, which is how it got its name. It looks like someone haphazardly slapped a human mouth on a fish and called it good. It seems OK to me. Number seven, hearthrug, what if you crossed a werewolf with a poisonous frog?

I don't recommend it. You'd end up with a horror frog or sometimes called the hairy frog. Now, if you came across one of these, you don't want to touch it. Gerald Tyrrell was a famous TV host and naturalist who learned this the hard way. When this frog is grabbed or attacked, it breaks its own toes and forces the sharp bones. through its skin to create claws. And that skin, it regenerates. Oh, yes. It's also been called the Wolverine Frog by this man, a drink.

It even starts out dangerous. It's tadpoles are muscular carnivorous and features several rows of teeth, terrifying. from day one. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Why are you showing this? This is a traitor, Tawana a. I thought you called it little Mr. Happy. It's an amphibian found in South America. Oh, I thought now's not the time. This bull is Cedro. You know, I'm really uncomfortable right now and I don't have eyelids.

So this is all on you. Itochu Juana are pretty rare and not completely understood, though it looks like a snake. It's more biologically related to an earthworm or maybe another lung less amphibian like a. salamander. Researchers are still. I think we should move on a great. Goliath's Berdy display only. Sometimes the name says it all, the Goliath birdeater is the largest spider in the world. and it's called bird eater because an 18th century naturalist discovered one devouring a.

hummingbird. Now, it rarely eats birds, but that's only because it can't catch them. It usually eats worms or large insects, but it will gladly eat mice, lizards, even snakes. if it can catch them. Oh, like other tarantulas, it features fangs and venom. Of course it does. There are lots of videos online showing a Goliath spider eating its. prey. I will link some of those below, but be warned, it is not for the faint of heart. It's it's awful. Watching a Goliath feed in captivity is usually the only way to eat in the wild.

It prefers to dine in private. First it catches its prey and then six the fangs in and stuns them, kills them. Then it drags the carcass back to its burrow and liquefies its insides and sucks them. dry. Yeah, the food chain works both ways, though. In parts of South America, the Goliath is part of the local cuisine. They're typically wrapped in banana leaves and then roasted over a fire. People on the Internet say they taste like shrimp.

I'll take their word for it. Human, but fly no build up here. I'm telling you right up front. Bot fly larva are carrier maggots that grow and feed on human flesh. I'm going to show you this. You have been warned. There are several kinds of barflies that, in fact mammals, but they're typically. associated with large grazing mammals like horses or steer, but there are butterflies. that infect humans and they use mosquitos as a carrier.

A female fly bites a mosquito and the mosquito bites you and your body heat then triggers. the eggs to hatch. Then they grow into larva that burrow into the wound. It gets worse the larva than grow. And they use your puncture, your wound hole to poop. And when the butterfly is exposed, a.k.a. pooping, you can tweeze it out. But the larva are covered in tiny little spikes that anchor it into the flesh, which.

makes removal at this time kind of painful. Another option is just waiting three short months and it will grow big enough to just. wiggle its way out on its own. No big deal. Could you wait three months? I could barely get through three seconds of watching these videos. Speaking of, there are lots of bot fly removal videos on YouTube, like way too many. I will link to some of the more gross ones below because I know some of you are into. watching stuff like that. I don't know why seek help, but here's a life lesson.

Let's say it's your wedding day and you've got a swollen pussy oozy pustule. You might want to have a doctor take a look at that. You could be the unwitting surrogate mother of the hellish flesh eating terror maggot. known as the human butterfly. Happy anniversary, honey. Thank you so much for hanging out with us today.
