The man who posted this on YouTube, is called: Joe Scott, the answer man.
I watch his videos regularly. Since we have so many Hunters here on RP, I thought you might want to check this one out. He lists the Five most Deadly animals, that hunt you!
Funnily enough, Polar Bears were not on the list, simply because their body count wasn't high enough to qualify. Not because they won't hunt you given the chance.
And for you Vietnam Vets, I wonder if the Cape buffalo in Africa is related to the Water Buffalo in Vietnam? Are they cousins with the same disposition? Any of your stories about encounters would be wonderful!
So I learned a lot from this short 21 minute video. But the thing that just flabbergasted me, was about the Grizzly. I spent ten summers in Alaska, so I know those guys could hit 1,200 pounds or more. Mostly because they had salmon treats.
What I did not know, is that the Colorado Grizzlies, are "only" four to seven hundred pounds. Not having fish, makes them quite a bit smaller. But here is the thing...those Colorado Grizzlies get their protein from...well, are you ready for this? I sure wasn't.
MOTHS.
Yes, Moths. They eat 40,000 of them a day. Are you kidding me? All the rest of their diet is mostly berries and nuts.
So if you have a spare twenty minutes or so. Or if you are an experienced Hunter- and have been to Africa on Safari...what do you think of his list?
And I do have a Wild Pig story of my own. And there is a reason killing a Boar in Germany is part and parcel of their great epic poems and Heroes.
As for me, squirrels are enough to make me run.
