Transcript
00:00:00The air is dry, the wind is blowing, you feel like you're in front of a fireplace, but that's not the case.
00:00:09You're in your garden, about to prepare a feast, when you suddenly see the trees shaking uncontrollably.
00:00:15The leaves fall like confetti. The wind has just blown your last clothes that were drying in the vast void.
00:00:22You look around you and everyone is as confused and afraid as you are.
00:00:26In the distance, you see a red horizon of fire in the forest and a large vortex that touches the sky.
00:00:32You drop everything and run away. You'll be lucky if you manage to distance yourself from a tornado,
00:00:37which usually travels at about 50 km per hour, but can reach you at 110 km per hour.
00:00:43Imagine that you run away from a giant tornado that rushes towards you at the speed of a sunbolt.
00:00:48The roads are full of people trying to find shelter or leave the city.
00:00:52You get in your car and try to start it, but the wind breaks your windshield.
00:00:58Anyway, a big tornado is powerful enough to blow up an entire car. You have to go on foot.
00:01:05The best way is to go to your friend's house. They have a deep basement full of supplies.
00:01:10Every time a tornado passes, try to take shelter in an underground place.
00:01:14If you don't have a basement, avoid the windows and try to stay under something solid to protect you.
00:01:21You run to your friend's house. Everything around you is swept away by fierce winds.
00:01:25But when you turn around, you see the tornado turn red.
00:01:29You can barely see it because of the debris, but the whirlwind is on fire. It's a fire tornado.
00:01:37These tornado winds can reach you at 225 km per hour and can reach between 4.5 m and 45 m high and up to 150 m wide.
00:01:49These monsters occur when tons of smoke swirl around you, so that the storm starts to act like a tornado.
00:01:56In fact, fire mini-tornadoes can even occur in a campfire and are called fire whirlwinds.
00:02:02The next time you camp or make fire in your fireplace, look closely. You may see one forming.
00:02:09Whatever it is, the one that interests us is getting closer and closer.
00:02:14It's quite difficult for you to see where you're going.
00:02:17You use your hands to scatter the smoke and ash flying around your face, but it's useless.
00:02:23You keep sprinting as fast as you can until you see a huge truck parked in the middle of the road.
00:02:30You get under it. It's one of those trucks with about twenty wheels.
00:02:34They look so big and so heavy up close. Then you hear a squeak and a thud.
00:02:41The wheels look magical. With grace, they start to rise from the ground, as if the truck was part of a Las Vegas magic number.
00:02:49When the tornado approaches, the wheels go higher.
00:02:52It's better to be far from here when the truck goes back down to the ground.
00:02:56You crawl and keep running.
00:03:00You find a store or shelter, making sure you don't get too close to the window.
00:03:06You crawl as far as you can into the store, ready to wait for it to pass.
00:03:11But all around you, the ground is on fire.
00:03:14This burning tornado is a monster, and it's charging at you.
00:03:18You look in the distance, and you see another fire tornado destroying another part of the city.
00:03:24For a tornado to form, you need an open space.
00:03:27That's why a lot of tornadoes you see in the news are happening in the same region as the United States,
00:03:32where there aren't many mountains and the landscape is flat.
00:03:35But of course, they can happen anywhere.
00:03:38However, it's not common to see tornadoes in the animated downtowns of big cities.
00:03:43They need a lot of open space for the rotating whirlwind to happen.
00:03:48But today, it's not a normal day.
00:03:51A tornado forms in a supercellular storm.
00:03:55That's when two different air temperatures clash.
00:03:59The vortex you see in the tornadoes is formed when the hot air and humidity come from above,
00:04:04and when below, it's chaos.
00:04:06The final result is a huge cloud of black smoke that we see in all the movies about tornadoes.
00:04:12Meteorologists can roughly predict the tornadoes by monitoring the amount of humidity in the air.
00:04:18Every second counts, so keep your TV on the next time a storm is preparing near you.
00:04:24But it doesn't really apply to a fire tornado.
00:04:27The winds are getting stronger and you can feel the heat, even inside the store.
00:04:32Outside, spiral flamethrowers set fire to everything in their path.
00:04:37It may be too late to find an underground shelter.
00:04:40You improvise a way to protect yourself by hiding under the box.
00:04:44And now, you can't see anything anymore.
00:04:47There's ash everywhere and the windows are all broken.
00:04:50Ash is one of the most dangerous elements in a fire tornado,
00:04:54especially for your lungs and eyes.
00:04:57Your best option is to stay as low as possible on the ground.
00:05:01Since the smoke is rising, it's possible that there's still just enough oxygen down there.
00:05:05And by climbing, you'll avoid getting hit by objects or flying debris.
00:05:10Fires are spreading now and there's a lot more smoke.
00:05:14The trees outside have caught fire and there are incandescent embers out of sight.
00:05:19These embers can travel more than a kilometer and start fires around them.
00:05:24Now that it's getting really crazy, objects in the store start flying,
00:05:29as if the smoke wasn't enough.
00:05:31You feel like you're inside an erupting volcano,
00:05:34spitting out chocolate bars and chips.
00:05:37It's only a matter of time before the table you're hiding under is blown up.
00:05:42The noise inside the store is deafening,
00:05:45as if you were sitting next to a jet engine.
00:05:48You can't tell if you're sweating because of the heat or the adrenaline.
00:05:52But suddenly, you see someone at the other end of the store giving you a sign,
00:05:56trying to tell you something.
00:05:58They have an underground warehouse. You're safe.
00:06:01But getting there is going to be difficult.
00:06:04You see the screws of the table loosening, preparing to fly into the air.
00:06:08You find a bottle of water next to you and tear a piece of fabric from your shirt.
00:06:13By using a damp cloth, you can filter some of the harmful particles in the air
00:06:18to keep breathing.
00:06:20Then you crawl out of the table and head for the underground warehouse.
00:06:24But the floor is covered in broken glass,
00:06:27and there are cans and debris everywhere.
00:06:30Even the cans are starting to heat up.
00:06:32You crawl like a lazy person, trying to avoid everything that's pointed.
00:06:36The fire tornado is still there, and it's getting even closer.
00:06:41You finally get there, and the employee shoots you in the stairs.
00:06:44It's dark, but there's a lamp to help you see.
00:06:48When a fire tornado is raging, it's better to be patient.
00:06:52Most of these fire storms don't last that long.
00:06:55So you relax, or you try to wash your face in a nearby sink.
00:07:00You wipe off all that black ash, and breathe normally again.
00:07:04But when you relax a little more, you feel the floor shaking.
00:07:07Around you, everything starts to fall.
00:07:10The employee and you stand behind a pile of cans.
00:07:14Then the power of the tornado rises by a notch.
00:07:17The warehouse above you is raised from the ground.
00:07:20All that's left are the steel and concrete foundations,
00:07:24and a few random pillars.
00:07:26The steel door that separates you from the outside barely holds you up.
00:07:30You can see the screws loosening.
00:07:32You can even see the fire entering the warehouse.
00:07:34The whole room collapses in an instant.
00:07:37The wind is even stronger than before.
00:07:39But the moment after, it's over.
00:07:42Those few minutes felt like hours.
00:07:44You and the employee go out and admire the show.
00:07:47That is to say, not much to be honest.
00:07:49It looks like the store has been torn apart like a bandage.
00:07:52And all around you, a city that you can't even recognize.
00:07:56The big problem with these fire tornadoes
00:07:58are the fires they leave behind.
00:08:01They can ruin cities, forests, farms, and lives.
00:08:06You go hiking in a sublime protected reserve in California.
00:08:10And you find yourself facing a puma.
00:08:12Stay calm.
00:08:13You have to show him you're not scared.
00:08:15Shout at the animal and shake your arms.
00:08:17If it doesn't work, throw stones, branches,
00:08:19and anything you can get your hands on.
00:08:21Aim for the ground in front of the puma.
00:08:23Never throw anything directly at him.
00:08:25That would only make him more angry.
00:08:27If the puma gets closer, protect your most vulnerable parts.
00:08:30He will aim for the neck and try to grab your arms.
00:08:32So tilt your head forward to protect your neck.
00:08:35And don't make big movements with your arms.
00:08:37When he realizes you're not an easy opponent,
00:08:40the puma will probably back off and run away.
00:08:43You are at Yellowstone.
00:08:45Here you find yourself face to face with a grizzly.
00:08:48He drinks water in a stream.
00:08:50The safety distance is 60 meters.
00:08:52The grizzly spotted you.
00:08:53He stands on his hind legs and looks in your direction.
00:08:56He is now the size of a normal-sized basketball player.
00:08:59And he weighs about 360 kilos.
00:09:01So you have no chance of winning.
00:09:03You have to stay frozen in place.
00:09:05The grizzly has a bad view, so he may not see you.
00:09:08But then he starts walking in your direction.
00:09:10Don't turn your back to him and don't try to run as fast as possible.
00:09:13He will chase you.
00:09:15You have to look bigger than you really are.
00:09:17Shake your arms and spread your legs a little more.
00:09:19Speak and constantly shout in the direction of the bear.
00:09:22He will understand that you are not a simple deer.
00:09:24Try to make a metal noise.
00:09:26If you have food on you, don't throw it to the bear.
00:09:29Put it on the ground and keep moving back in front of the animal.
00:09:32If he starts running towards you,
00:09:34your only chance is to lie down on the ground and stay frozen.
00:09:37Bears are not grizzly bears.
00:09:38So if he thinks you're not alive,
00:09:40he's just going to sniff you, raise his shoulders and leave.
00:09:43Now you're going to dive on the Florida coast.
00:09:46You have to protect yourself from the big white shark.
00:09:48Never wear shiny and shiny jewelry when you bathe.
00:09:50They attract sharks.
00:09:52And never bathe you at night.
00:09:53That's when they come out to get food.
00:09:55A lot of water splashes can also attract this marine predator.
00:09:58But if the shark is still swimming towards you,
00:10:00the rule is this.
00:10:01Do everything in your power to face it and win.
00:10:04Try to stay calm and swim towards the beach.
00:10:06If the shark takes you for food,
00:10:08there is only one thing that can scare him.
00:10:10Try to hit the shark on the nose, eyes or gills.
00:10:13Now you're in Africa.
00:10:15Here, in the high grass of the savannah, you see a lion.
00:10:17And the worst part is that he sees you too.
00:10:19The first thing you have to do is keep visual contact.
00:10:21Don't turn your back on the lion.
00:10:23And don't run.
00:10:24This two-meter predator, which weighs as much as three adults,
00:10:27runs towards you at the speed of a car on the highway.
00:10:30But he stops abruptly and keeps staring at you.
00:10:32Lions often pretend to charge to scare their opponent.
00:10:35At this stage, you must look much bigger than you really are.
00:10:38Spread your arms and make loud noises.
00:10:40The lion can then make another false charge.
00:10:42And if you don't move, the lion will realize
00:10:44that you are a size opponent and will go the other way.
00:10:47Be careful, the lion is much more dangerous than the male.
00:10:50If it keeps its babies, it will never stop.
00:10:52And you will have no chance.
00:10:54Your safari jeep takes you to the next place.
00:10:56You see elephants drinking water peacefully.
00:10:59These animals can measure 3 meters high and weigh as much as 2.44.
00:11:03They can even overturn cars with their powerful defense.
00:11:06And that's when one of them sees you and shakes his big ears.
00:11:09It's bluff.
00:11:10With his ears, the elephant wants to look bigger and make you run.
00:11:13He is also afraid and will not rush at you.
00:11:16You have to make the beast understand that you are not threatening it.
00:11:19Don't scream and don't shake your arms.
00:11:21Move back slowly until you have left the elephant's personal space.
00:11:25But if he runs towards you with his ears against his head, he doesn't bluff.
00:11:29Climbing a tree is not a good option at the moment.
00:11:32He could hit the tree and make you fall.
00:11:34He could even make him tilt with his big trunk.
00:11:37You have to run in a zigzag.
00:11:38The elephant is heavy and it is difficult for him to change direction quickly.
00:11:42So little by little, you will start to move away from him.
00:11:45But don't forget that an elephant can run at 40 km per hour.
00:11:47It is therefore unlikely that you will escape him.
00:11:49Now let's go to the Nile River in Egypt.
00:11:51There are the largest number of crocodiles in the world.
00:11:53If you go camping, settle at a distance of at least 50 meters from the shore.
00:11:58In this way, the crocodile will not find your camp at night.
00:12:01Never leave the crocodile out of sight.
00:12:03He can take advantage of this moment and take you by surprise.
00:12:06Their top speed is only 16 km per hour.
00:12:09But they can charge 13 meters per second from the water.
00:12:12So the only chance to survive is to stay out of the water.
00:12:16Otherwise, the crocodile's weak points are the eyes, the tip of the nose and the membrane of the throat.
00:12:21This membrane prevents water from entering the crocodile's throat.
00:12:24When you escape a crocodile, be careful not to fall on a hippopotamus.
00:12:28It is one of the most dangerous animals in the world.
00:12:31They can be the size of a car and weigh as much as a big elephant.
00:12:35In addition, they can run as fast as horses.
00:12:37So they are sure to overtake you in a sprint.
00:12:40The main thing is not to frighten them.
00:12:42If you are at a safe distance, attract his attention with a loud noise.
00:12:46In general, he will try to get away from you.
00:12:48Take advantage of this moment to back off too.
00:12:50But if you see a hippopotamus barking, it's a sign that you're breaking his comfort zone.
00:12:54They can open their mouths at 180 degrees and have the strength to bite a crocodile.
00:12:58So you can't beat him and you have to run away.
00:13:01The best option is to climb a tree or something high.
00:13:04Hippos have a hard time climbing high.
00:13:06And if you manage to escape, you will be one of the few people to have survived a face-to-face with a hippopotamus.
00:13:12There are also buffalos that live here in the savannah.
00:13:15They can be as tall as an adult man and weigh a ton.
00:13:18And unlike lions and elephants, they do not make false charges.
00:13:21If you see this machine running at you, it certainly has bad intentions.
00:13:25Their powerful horns and skulls can bend metal plates.
00:13:28They can turn a new car into a pile of iron.
00:13:31You can never distance a bison.
00:13:33Your only option is to find the nearest tree and run towards it, before the buffalo even starts charging.
00:13:39If you come across a snake, you have to stay still.
00:13:42There are an infinity of species of snakes and you don't know if your opponent is venomous or not.
00:13:47So you must absolutely avoid being bitten.
00:13:49Make slow and fluid movements backwards.
00:13:51If the snake follows you, stop and start tapping your foot.
00:13:54The strong vibrations of the ground should make it run away.
00:13:57If the snake bites you anyway, try to remember exactly what it looks like.
00:14:01Or even better, take a picture of it.
00:14:03To neutralize the venom, you must take an antidote against the specific venom of this species of snake.
00:14:08You are now on your way to Northeast Asia.
00:14:11As you cross a dense jungle, you see a clearing.
00:14:14Several wild boars are grazing peacefully there.
00:14:17One of them is a female with several cubs.
00:14:19She is ready to do anything to protect them.
00:14:21So she is particularly aggressive with her entourage.
00:14:23Oops, she spotted you.
00:14:25Get ready to defend yourself.
00:14:26If the boar shouts loudly and piercingly, it will hit you.
00:14:30The first thing to do is to stay calm and not move.
00:14:33You are in good luck that the boar continues its way.
00:14:37But you see that it starts running.
00:14:39You have several options.
00:14:40You can run away.
00:14:41You can face the enemy or climb the nearest tree.
00:14:46The first option is bad.
00:14:47Boars can run as fast as Senbolt.
00:14:49And when it catches up with you, its sharp defenses won't give you any chance.
00:14:53Option B, stay where you are.
00:14:55Wrong.
00:14:56A boar can weigh as much as a motorcycle and be almost as long as an adult.
00:15:00A shot at 40 km per hour will knock you down.
00:15:03So the best option is to climb the nearest tree.
00:15:05If there is no tree, climb a car or a big rock.
00:15:08You must be in a higher position than the boar.
00:15:11When it realizes that it can't reach you, it will leave you alone.
00:15:15Overall, the most important thing is to stay away from boars,
00:15:18to never try to feed or provoke them.
00:15:22Deserts
00:15:24These arid deserts that extend from your point of view seem lifeless.
00:15:28But among these sands, it is also possible to meet dangerous and sometimes frightening creatures.
00:15:34Some of them can only pose a slight risk to our health.
00:15:38But others will never be engraved in your memory.
00:15:42Let's get to know them, starting with the most moderately dangerous
00:15:46and ending with the real nightmares.
00:15:48You walk in the desert and you see a big teddy bear,
00:15:51arms wide open.
00:15:53You deduce that it is probably a mirage.
00:15:56But you still approach.
00:15:58You had just seen ...
00:16:00It's not a teddy bear, but a giant cactus.
00:16:03And there is something strange about it.
00:16:06Thanks to its strange pilosity,
00:16:08its branches seem to be related to the arms of a teddy bear.
00:16:11However, it is not fur, but thousands of fine needles.
00:16:15And that's why you should not approach it.
00:16:19This cactus is called Cylindro Puntia Bigelowi,
00:16:22or Chola Urson.
00:16:24It grows in the desert areas of Arizona and northern Mexico.
00:16:28Do not worry, this cactus will not attack you as much.
00:16:31But it will cling to your skin or your clothes if you have the misfortune to touch it.
00:16:36This fur coat protects the cactus from animals,
00:16:39creates shade and protects it from heat.
00:16:42The lateral branches are the most important parts of the plant,
00:16:45because they carry out photosynthesis
00:16:47and accumulate a large amount of moisture inside.
00:16:51Thus, despite all the dangers it presents,
00:16:54this cactus can be useful for people who move in the desert.
00:16:58And the danger here, are the needles.
00:17:01If you look at them closely,
00:17:03you will notice their bearded appearance.
00:17:05Just touch them so that hundreds of thorns sink into your finger.
00:17:09It is difficult to get rid of it,
00:17:11and the thorns cause extremely unpleasant painful sensations.
00:17:16But what is most interesting with this cactus,
00:17:19is the way it reproduces.
00:17:21The plant clones itself in a new place.
00:17:24When animals and humans pass in front of this cactus and touch it,
00:17:27it gives them a small piece of itself with its thorns.
00:17:31As soon as this piece falls to the ground,
00:17:33it takes root and begins to grow.
00:17:36The degree of danger is increased.
00:17:39The next desert monster is running towards us.
00:17:42And it's...
00:17:43an ostrich.
00:17:44Many people think that these animals are poltrons,
00:17:47just good to bury their heads in the sand.
00:17:50You would probably change your mind if you had the bad luck to meet one.
00:17:54In general, ostriches are not aggressive.
00:17:57But you will have to take your legs to your neck
00:17:59if you ever approach their nest.
00:18:01However, you have little chance of escaping them,
00:18:04because ostriches have a top speed of 70 km per hour.
00:18:08You will need a car to distance them,
00:18:10because they sprint and hit their enemy in the chest.
00:18:13It even happened that ostriches attack trucks
00:18:16and cause them significant damage.
00:18:19But the main danger that these volatiles represent
00:18:22lies in their powerful legs,
00:18:24equipped with clenched claws.
00:18:26With these,
00:18:27they can deliver powerful blows
00:18:29and even hit an opponent on the ground.
00:18:31So yes,
00:18:32if you see an ostrich in the distance,
00:18:34pass your way.
00:18:36This sly little lizard spends almost all his time underground,
00:18:39in the arid deserts of the southwest of the United States
00:18:42and northwest of Mexico.
00:18:45Sometimes,
00:18:46he goes out to look for his meal.
00:18:48He looks like a trognon,
00:18:50but in fact,
00:18:51he is a very dangerous gila monster.
00:18:54His thick skin protects him from falcons,
00:18:56coyotes and other predators.
00:18:58But his main asset is his venom.
00:19:01Snakes and spiders inject their toxins
00:19:04with clenched claws.
00:19:06But the gila monster,
00:19:07clings to his prey
00:19:09and swallows it to spread his venom.
00:19:11And when a person dies,
00:19:13he is able to keep his jaws closed
00:19:15for a very long time.
00:19:17It is difficult to get rid of the animal.
00:19:20People who have felt the effects of his venom
00:19:22say they have had the impression
00:19:24that fusion lava was passing through their veins.
00:19:26Despite this,
00:19:27the lizard proved useful to science.
00:19:30Doctors have exploited his venom
00:19:32in order to design drugs
00:19:34against diabetes and obesity.
00:19:36The time has come.
00:19:38Get ready to meet one of the scariest creatures
00:19:40in the desert.
00:19:42Make no noise
00:19:43and just enjoy the silence.
00:19:45Do not move.
00:19:46There is no one around.
00:19:48Suddenly,
00:19:49you hear a whistling coming from below.
00:19:51You lower your head
00:19:53and you see it.
00:19:54A big yellow spider
00:19:55the size of the palm of your hand,
00:19:57with powerful jaws and long legs
00:19:59lurks in the shadow of your body.
00:20:01Horrified,
00:20:02you run away from this monster.
00:20:03But it chases you.
00:20:05It is not easy to do in such a situation.
00:20:07But try to calm down.
00:20:09The creature is not interested in you.
00:20:12It only wants your shadow
00:20:13to hide from the scorching sun.
00:20:15In any case,
00:20:17it is better not to touch it.
00:20:19The powerful jaws of the giant spider
00:20:21can cause very unpleasant sensations.
00:20:24It is the least we can say.
00:20:26Besides,
00:20:27this creature is not exactly a spider.
00:20:29Of course,
00:20:30it belongs to the arachnid class.
00:20:32But it is a distinct species.
00:20:34The Solpugidae.
00:20:36It likes to bite.
00:20:38It is not fearful
00:20:39and even quite aggressive.
00:20:41The solifuge feeds on insects,
00:20:43lizards,
00:20:44rodents
00:20:45and small birds.
00:20:46It can also move
00:20:47at a speed of 16 km per hour.
00:20:49Given its small size,
00:20:51it is very fast.
00:20:52You have to be a professional athlete
00:20:54to escape it.
00:20:56Most often,
00:20:57it finds its solifuges
00:20:58in the deserts of the Middle East.
00:21:00But they also live in Mexico
00:21:02and in the southwest of the United States.
00:21:04These spiders are nocturnal
00:21:06and try to avoid the sun during the day,
00:21:08so that they will always be in search of your shadow.
00:21:11Moreover,
00:21:12they owe their name
00:21:13to the fact that they flee the sun
00:21:15in all circumstances.
00:21:16You will have no chance
00:21:17to escape them during the day.
00:21:19But they will also want to take you
00:21:21during the night.
00:21:22Especially if you make a fire.
00:21:24The Solpugidae
00:21:25always runs towards the light
00:21:27in the hope of catching something.
00:21:29Some species of spider
00:21:31even emit a whistle
00:21:32to frighten their enemies.
00:21:34Let's calm down for a moment
00:21:35and leave this burning desert.
00:21:37We enter the humid tropics of Tanzania.
00:21:40Under the bark of the trees,
00:21:42the dead leaf mats
00:21:43and in the dark caves,
00:21:45you could meet
00:21:46one of the most terrifying creatures
00:21:48on the planet.
00:21:49The Amblypige
00:21:51or 24-hour spider.
00:21:53Imagine a big scorpion
00:21:55without a tail,
00:21:56with a flat body
00:21:57that seems to have been compressed.
00:21:59It looks like spiders,
00:22:00but has no venom glands
00:22:01and cannot weave webs.
00:22:03This monster is fast and silent.
00:22:06But what is most frightening,
00:22:08are its two front claws,
00:22:10twice as long as the creature itself.
00:22:12Any prey it catches
00:22:13will never escape.
00:22:15His entire life spent
00:22:16in a dark cave
00:22:17has altered his sight
00:22:18and the Amblypige
00:22:19tries to avoid the light of the sun.
00:22:21During the night,
00:22:22he climbs to the ceiling
00:22:23and slowly gets rid
00:22:24of his old skin.
00:22:25Imagine yourself
00:22:26directing your lamp
00:22:27to this place
00:22:28to see small cocoons,
00:22:30from where pale spiders
00:22:31with excessively long legs come out.
00:22:33If you meet this creature
00:22:35in real life,
00:22:36keep calm
00:22:37and move away
00:22:38as far away as possible.
00:22:40Stay on your guards.
00:22:41The Amblypige
00:22:42can slip under your clothes
00:22:43in a wink
00:22:44and bite you in the abdomen.
00:22:46And it's nothing
00:22:47compared to what awaits you.
00:22:48Okay,
00:22:49it's a joke.
00:22:51This nice little man
00:22:52is one of the most shy
00:22:53and harmless creatures
00:22:54among all the arachnids.
00:22:56He is afraid of us
00:22:57and will never take you.
00:22:59Many find him majestic
00:23:01and keep Amblypige
00:23:02in green terrariums.
00:23:04If you want
00:23:05such a companion animal,
00:23:07watch out
00:23:08so that it does not
00:23:09run away from its home.
00:23:11Because if this happens,
00:23:12it will be very difficult
00:23:13to catch up with it.
00:23:14In a few moments,
00:23:16it can slip under your bed
00:23:17or pass through the interstices
00:23:18of the floor.
00:23:20Then,
00:23:21it will go into the apartment
00:23:22of your neighbor
00:23:23through the ventilation system
00:23:24and terrorize
00:23:25the people who are there.
00:23:29Well,
00:23:30why not a little scorpion
00:23:31for the road?
00:23:32The latter is not
00:23:33as scary
00:23:34as the other creatures
00:23:35in this video.
00:23:36But this is
00:23:37the most venomous scorpion
00:23:38in the United States.
00:23:39The Centruroide Sculturatus
00:23:41from Arizona.
00:23:42The problem is
00:23:43that it can be found
00:23:44in the desert,
00:23:45at home
00:23:46or in its garden.
00:23:47This dangerous
00:23:48venomous creature
00:23:49slides into rooms
00:23:50and often stings people.
00:23:52One sting
00:23:53is enough
00:23:54to cause a pain
00:23:55similar to that
00:23:56of a bee sting.
00:23:57But an allergic person
00:23:58can suffer from paralysis,
00:24:00respiratory distress
00:24:01and other extremely serious
00:24:02health problems.
00:24:07It's time
00:24:08to stretch your legs
00:24:09and take a walk
00:24:10in the park.
00:24:11The sun shines
00:24:12and you enjoy
00:24:13this beautiful weather
00:24:14and life in general.
00:24:15This is where you see
00:24:16a vertical cloud
00:24:17that grows rapidly
00:24:19From a bright white
00:24:20at the beginning,
00:24:21it approaches
00:24:22at an alarming speed,
00:24:23densifying
00:24:24and taking
00:24:25an ink color.
00:24:26The sky darkens
00:24:27and a gust of wind
00:24:28makes your hat fly.
00:24:30And then your hair
00:24:31starts to stand
00:24:32on your head.
00:24:33It's time to run
00:24:34to save your life.
00:24:35You are about
00:24:36to be hit
00:24:37by lightning.
00:24:38At this very moment,
00:24:39positive charges
00:24:40rise in your body.
00:24:42They are directed
00:24:43towards the part
00:24:44of the storm
00:24:45charged negatively.
00:24:46If you do not react
00:24:47quickly,
00:24:48these opposite charges
00:24:49will meet
00:24:50and it will end
00:24:51badly for you.
00:24:52If you can't hide
00:24:53anywhere,
00:24:54crouch down
00:24:55and try to make yourself
00:24:56smaller than the objects
00:24:57around you.
00:24:58Do not lie down
00:24:59on the ground.
00:25:00It can be humid
00:25:01and therefore very conductive.
00:25:02There are also other signs
00:25:03that indicate
00:25:04a danger
00:25:05during a storm.
00:25:06Your palms
00:25:07can start to sweat.
00:25:08You can hear
00:25:09crackling,
00:25:10rumbling
00:25:11or strange vibrations
00:25:12from metal objects
00:25:13nearby.
00:25:14Your skin
00:25:15can start to itch.
00:25:16You can feel
00:25:17a strange metallic taste
00:25:18in your mouth.
00:25:19If you are not just
00:25:20chewing aluminum paper
00:25:21at this moment,
00:25:22be careful!
00:25:23In addition,
00:25:24you are likely
00:25:25to smell chlorine.
00:25:26It is ozone.
00:25:27Electric charges
00:25:28divide the molecules
00:25:29of nitrogen
00:25:30and oxygen,
00:25:31which are the main gases
00:25:32forming the atmosphere
00:25:33into separate atoms.
00:25:34When these atoms
00:25:35meet again,
00:25:36some of them
00:25:37produce molecules
00:25:38composed of
00:25:39three oxygen atoms.
00:25:40It is ozone.
00:25:41You can feel it
00:25:42during a storm
00:25:43because the descending currents
00:25:44make it descend
00:25:45from high altitudes
00:25:46to the level
00:25:47of your nose.
00:25:48You can know
00:25:49how close a storm is
00:25:50by measuring the time
00:25:51between the moment
00:25:52you see a flash
00:25:53and the moment
00:25:54you hear the thunder.
00:25:55Three seconds
00:25:56represent about
00:25:57one kilometer.
00:25:58The sky above
00:25:59your head
00:26:00darkens
00:26:01and turns
00:26:02a disturbing green color.
00:26:03Something
00:26:04hits your cheek.
00:26:05Ouch!
00:26:06It hurts!
00:26:07You pick up the object
00:26:08in question.
00:26:09It is a huge hail.
00:26:10But it is not
00:26:11so cold outside
00:26:12and it does not even rain.
00:26:13You notice
00:26:14that everything is calm,
00:26:15quiet.
00:26:16There is not
00:26:17the slightest breeze.
00:26:18It makes you think
00:26:19of the calm before the storm.
00:26:20And indeed,
00:26:21you hear the noise soon.
00:26:22It approaches quickly
00:26:23and turns
00:26:24into a big roar,
00:26:25as if a train
00:26:26of goods
00:26:27was heading
00:26:28straight towards you.
00:26:29But
00:26:30it is not a train.
00:26:31It is a tornado
00:26:32and you have
00:26:33almost no time
00:26:34to escape.
00:26:35The funnel
00:26:36is not visible
00:26:37behind a cloud of debris,
00:26:38but it is impossible
00:26:39to confuse
00:26:40this air column
00:26:41in rotation
00:26:42with anything else.
00:26:43If you are on the road,
00:26:44move away
00:26:45from your car
00:26:46as much as possible.
00:26:47This will prevent
00:26:48the vehicle
00:26:49from being projected
00:26:50towards you.
00:26:51Find a ditch,
00:26:52lie down in it
00:26:53and cover your head.
00:26:54If you are inside,
00:26:55move away from the windows
00:26:56and take refuge
00:26:57underground if possible.
00:26:58Now you are
00:26:59on the edge of the sea.
00:27:00You walk
00:27:01on the shore
00:27:02and you enjoy
00:27:03a light breeze.
00:27:04Suddenly,
00:27:05the ground
00:27:06starts to tremble
00:27:07under your feet.
00:27:08It must be
00:27:09an earthquake!
00:27:10The next weirdness
00:27:11you notice
00:27:12is the tsunami.
00:27:13It reveals
00:27:14the bottom of the ocean,
00:27:15the reefs
00:27:16and even the fish.
00:27:17It is then
00:27:18that you hear
00:27:19a distant roar.
00:27:20It is a tsunami
00:27:21and you only have
00:27:22a few minutes
00:27:23to save your life.
00:27:24Go immediately
00:27:25to a high point.
00:27:26A giant wave
00:27:27is already heading
00:27:28towards the shore.
00:27:29This is not
00:27:30the only way
00:27:31a tsunami
00:27:32can hit you.
00:27:33It does not necessarily
00:27:34come crashing
00:27:35against the shore
00:27:36like a series
00:27:37of huge waves.
00:27:38A tsunami
00:27:39can look like
00:27:40a very fast
00:27:41sea wave.
00:27:42It drags people
00:27:43under the surface
00:27:44of the water
00:27:45and projects
00:27:46heavy objects
00:27:47in all directions.
00:27:48You can also notice
00:27:49that the sea water
00:27:50boils,
00:27:51swirls
00:27:52and creates
00:27:53weird patterns.
00:27:54It is another
00:27:55sign that a tsunami
00:27:56is coming.
00:27:57Your dog is agitated.
00:27:58He scratches
00:27:59the front door,
00:28:00scratches the apartment
00:28:01and tries to hide
00:28:02in a corner.
00:28:03Usually calm
00:28:04and docile,
00:28:05the dog
00:28:06screams
00:28:07and barks now.
00:28:08The weather
00:28:09has been completely
00:28:10different
00:28:11since yesterday.
00:28:12You have also noticed
00:28:13that the stream
00:28:14near your house
00:28:15is more and more agitated,
00:28:16boiling as it passes.
00:28:17It is only when
00:28:18the glass starts
00:28:19to tint in your closet
00:28:20that you realize
00:28:21what this means.
00:28:22The clickety
00:28:23is produced
00:28:24by the preliminary
00:28:25shakes,
00:28:26tiny earthquakes
00:28:27leading to
00:28:28the main event.
00:28:29Earthquakes
00:28:30often occur
00:28:31in series.
00:28:32If there are
00:28:33several weak earthquakes,
00:28:34it is possible
00:28:35that a much more
00:28:36important earthquake
00:28:37is preparing.
00:28:38Just before the disaster,
00:28:39we have seen
00:28:40some strange blue lights.
00:28:41Some of them
00:28:42seem to come from the ground,
00:28:43others seem to float
00:28:44in the air,
00:28:45motionless.
00:28:46These are
00:28:47what are called
00:28:48seismic lights.
00:28:49Emitted by rocks
00:28:50subjected to strong constraints,
00:28:51they can be seen
00:28:52days or seconds
00:28:53before the ground
00:28:54starts to shake.
00:28:55However,
00:28:56some experts
00:28:57doubt the existence
00:28:58of these seismic lights.
00:28:59If you think
00:29:00that an earthquake
00:29:01is about to occur
00:29:02and that there is
00:29:03a catfish in your aquarium,
00:29:04be careful
00:29:05about its behavior.
00:29:06Scientists have proven
00:29:07that this species
00:29:08can react to earthquakes
00:29:09in advance.
00:29:10The fish become agitated
00:29:11when the seismic activity
00:29:12is increased.
00:29:13Likewise,
00:29:14some insects
00:29:15can feel a storm coming.
00:29:16They prepare
00:29:17for the natural disaster
00:29:18by stopping all movement.
00:29:19This is why,
00:29:20if you notice
00:29:21that many insects
00:29:22around you
00:29:23look apathetic,
00:29:24quickly look for a shelter.
00:29:25As for bees,
00:29:26they can predict
00:29:27heavy rains.
00:29:28They start to work
00:29:29much harder
00:29:30the day before
00:29:31when it starts to rain.
00:29:32Square waves
00:29:33occur when
00:29:34two different
00:29:35configurations of clouds
00:29:36collide.
00:29:37This phenomenon
00:29:38looks great,
00:29:39but only
00:29:40if you look at it
00:29:41from the shore.
00:29:42Don't even think
00:29:43about getting in the water
00:29:44to play in such waves.
00:29:45Transverse currents
00:29:46can easily drag you
00:29:47under the surface
00:29:48even if you are
00:29:49a good swimmer.
00:29:50And if you see
00:29:51agitated waves
00:29:52carrying debris
00:29:53and algae,
00:29:54stay out of the water too.
00:29:55This can be the sign
00:29:56of a strong current
00:29:57coming back.
00:29:58It could take you
00:29:59far offshore.
00:30:00If you see
00:30:01a green and smelly substance
00:30:02on the surface
00:30:03of a lake
00:30:04or a sea,
00:30:05don't get close to the water.
00:30:06This is a dangerous
00:30:07proliferation of algae.
00:30:08You won't be able
00:30:09to tell
00:30:10if they are toxic
00:30:11or not
00:30:12at first glance.
00:30:13That's why
00:30:14it's better
00:30:15not to get close.
00:30:16Three to four days
00:30:17before a hurricane
00:30:18arrives,
00:30:19the surface of the sea
00:30:20or the ocean
00:30:21can swell
00:30:22up to two meters high.
00:30:23The waves
00:30:24hit the shore
00:30:25every nine seconds.
00:30:26The closer the hurricane
00:30:27is,
00:30:28the faster the waves
00:30:29crash against the shore.
00:30:30They are also higher,
00:30:31sometimes up to five meters.
00:30:32The sky is covered
00:30:33with light and misty clouds.
00:30:34About 36 hours
00:30:35before the hurricane
00:30:36hits the shore,
00:30:37the atmospheric pressure
00:30:38starts to drop.
00:30:39After that,
00:30:40the wind speeds up.
00:30:41Stretched clouds
00:30:42that look like hair
00:30:43appear in the sky.
00:30:44Eighteen hours
00:30:45before the hurricane
00:30:46hits the shore,
00:30:47the sky opens
00:30:48and it starts to rain.
00:30:49Rainwater
00:30:50often floods
00:30:51low-altitude areas
00:30:52reaching up to 4.5 meters.
00:30:53Twelve hours
00:30:54before the hurricane,
00:30:55a strong gust
00:30:56of wind
00:30:57starts to bring debris.
00:30:58Six hours
00:30:59before the hurricane
00:31:00hits the ground,
00:31:01the wind speed
00:31:02is already
00:31:03145 km per hour.
00:31:04It's strong enough
00:31:05to break
00:31:06and even
00:31:07root trees,
00:31:08throw big debris
00:31:09and turn cars.
00:31:10By the way,
00:31:11let's say you are
00:31:12sailing
00:31:13and there are sharks
00:31:14spinning around
00:31:15your boat.
00:31:16Keep an eye on them.
00:31:17If the predators
00:31:18suddenly leave you
00:31:19alone
00:31:20and head for
00:31:21the deep waters,
00:31:22it can mean
00:31:23that a hurricane
00:31:24is approaching.
00:31:25Return to the land
00:31:26as quickly as possible
00:31:27and warn your loved ones.
00:31:28If during a period
00:31:29of heavy rain
00:31:30you hear a rumble,
00:31:31it may be
00:31:32a sudden crane
00:31:33moving in your direction.
00:31:34If you are
00:31:35near a river
00:31:36at that moment,
00:31:37you could see debris
00:31:38coming down
00:31:39with the current.
00:31:40The water
00:31:41can change color
00:31:42and become
00:31:43more muddy
00:31:44and darker.
00:31:45These signs should
00:31:46warn you
00:31:47against the dangers
00:31:48that threaten you.
00:31:49If your intuition
00:31:50is good,
00:31:51you don't have
00:31:52time to lose.
00:31:53Try to get away
00:31:54from this place
00:31:55as fast as you can.
00:31:56Lightning cranes
00:31:57are often deadly.
00:31:58If you are in nature,
00:31:59be careful
00:32:00of the water,
00:32:01streams,
00:32:02and mud.
00:32:03If you see water
00:32:04becoming muddy,
00:32:05don't wait for other signs.
00:32:06Leave the area
00:32:07immediately.
00:32:08It's time
00:32:09to clean up
00:32:10in the spring.
00:32:11You take a rag
00:32:12and a broom
00:32:13to get rid
00:32:14of all these
00:32:15spider webs
00:32:16on your windows.
00:32:17They have
00:32:18no chance
00:32:19this time.
00:32:20By removing
00:32:21spider webs
00:32:22one after the other,
00:32:23you suddenly notice
00:32:24mud with strange shapes
00:32:25stuck under
00:32:26the roof
00:32:27and the porch.
00:32:28What is it?
00:32:29You realize
00:32:30right away
00:32:31it must be
00:32:32a gecko nest.
00:32:33With so many
00:32:34nests side by side,
00:32:35there must be
00:32:36a nest.
00:32:37Fortunately,
00:32:38gecko nests
00:32:39are lonely insects.
00:32:40Phew!
00:32:41All these little
00:32:42mud huts
00:32:43are filled
00:32:44with paralyzed spiders.
00:32:45Sometimes,
00:32:46up to 500 spiders
00:32:47can be trapped
00:32:48in these boxes
00:32:49waiting for
00:32:50the young geckos
00:32:51to hatch.
00:32:52If the nest
00:32:53has holes,
00:32:54it can indicate
00:32:55that it is old
00:32:56or abandoned
00:32:57because gecko nests
00:32:58drill holes
00:32:59to leave their nests.
00:33:00If you want to remove them,
00:33:01it is preferable
00:33:02to wait for the night
00:33:03when they are not
00:33:04as active.
00:33:05Although they are
00:33:06quite placid,
00:33:07if they feel threatened,
00:33:08they will not hesitate
00:33:09to sting.
00:33:10It looks like
00:33:11an insect was
00:33:12half-designed
00:33:13and then its creator
00:33:14stopped.
00:33:15The gecko
00:33:16really seems
00:33:17to come from
00:33:18another world.
00:33:19With gecko fangs,
00:33:20a gecko body
00:33:21and a shrimp head,
00:33:22this creature
00:33:23is a bit
00:33:24the ornithorhynch
00:33:25of the insect world.
00:33:26It is not venomous
00:33:27and only dies
00:33:28once a year.
00:33:29And if you really
00:33:30bother it,
00:33:31it has another
00:33:32advantage in its sleeve,
00:33:33its wings.
00:33:34They can spit
00:33:35a brine liquid
00:33:36that smells bad,
00:33:37just like the fly.
00:33:38So,
00:33:39just let them
00:33:40leave your house
00:33:41and there will be
00:33:42nothing to clean.
00:33:43The rock basins
00:33:44are full
00:33:45of all kinds
00:33:46of plants
00:33:47and animals.
00:33:48Marine creatures
00:33:49like sea stars,
00:33:50marine herbs,
00:33:51hermit crabs,
00:33:52small fish
00:33:53and all kinds
00:33:54of octopuses.
00:33:55If you think
00:33:56this little octopus
00:33:57has blue eyes,
00:33:58it is better
00:33:59to leave it alone.
00:34:00It flashes
00:34:01in neon blue
00:34:02for a good reason.
00:34:03This miniature octopus
00:34:04has a venomous bite
00:34:05a thousand times stronger
00:34:06than cyanide
00:34:07and without
00:34:08available antidotes.
00:34:09Do not try
00:34:10to tickle it
00:34:11with a stick
00:34:12or pick it up.
00:34:13It is not worth
00:34:14the trip to the hospital
00:34:15or the morgue.
00:34:16Earth snakes
00:34:17may be frightening,
00:34:18but marine snakes
00:34:19are on a
00:34:20whole other level.
00:34:21In the Indian
00:34:22and Pacific Oceans,
00:34:23there are about
00:34:2450 different species
00:34:25of marine snakes.
00:34:26They are as beautiful
00:34:27as they are dangerous.
00:34:28Fortunately,
00:34:29they do not seem
00:34:30to care too much
00:34:31about us.
00:34:32The sea snake
00:34:33of Dubois
00:34:34is undoubtedly
00:34:35the most venomous
00:34:36in the ocean,
00:34:37nicknamed
00:34:38so to speak
00:34:39by the sea snake
00:34:40in Beck.
00:34:41Their venom
00:34:42would almost make
00:34:43you forget
00:34:44the bite
00:34:45of a cobra.
00:34:46The venom
00:34:47of these two snakes
00:34:48is extremely dangerous.
00:34:49Fortunately for us,
00:34:50it can take hours
00:34:51to cause symptoms
00:34:52in humans
00:34:53and it would be necessary
00:34:54for them to wear
00:34:56If this fly
00:34:57lands on your arm
00:34:58outside,
00:34:59you could scream
00:35:00a little
00:35:01we wouldn't blame you.
00:35:02The scorpion fly,
00:35:03as its name suggests,
00:35:04has a curved tail
00:35:05that looks like
00:35:06a scorpion dart.
00:35:07But you can blow,
00:35:08it is only used
00:35:09for coupling.
00:35:10It also has
00:35:11a long beak-shaped
00:35:12head
00:35:13that is used
00:35:14to feed
00:35:15after flying
00:35:16insects
00:35:17in spider webs.
00:35:18To find the ideal
00:35:19partner,
00:35:20it loves to give
00:35:21gifts in the form
00:35:22of saliva,
00:35:23how romantic it is.
00:35:24If you are in Africa,
00:35:25you can pass
00:35:26next to this
00:35:27big bird
00:35:28if you are not careful.
00:35:29The scorpion fly
00:35:30will immobilize
00:35:31when you pass
00:35:32in front of it.
00:35:33Being able to
00:35:34measure up to
00:35:351.5 meters
00:35:36and have a wingspan
00:35:37of 2.5 meters,
00:35:38the scorpion fly
00:35:39looks like a predator,
00:35:40although it is
00:35:41anything but that.
00:35:42Known as
00:35:43one of the slowest
00:35:44birds in the world,
00:35:45almost a statue,
00:35:46the scorpion fly
00:35:47only makes
00:35:48the fish eat
00:35:49near the surface
00:35:50of the water
00:35:51without worrying
00:35:52about the world.
00:35:53The scorpion fly
00:35:54is not at all
00:35:55afraid of humans.
00:35:56Although it is not
00:35:57very talkative,
00:35:58it will let you
00:35:59get close enough
00:36:00to take some pictures.
00:36:01If you hear
00:36:02a little squeak
00:36:03while you are
00:36:04in the garden,
00:36:05it could be
00:36:06a mouse,
00:36:07a squirrel
00:36:08or a rhino
00:36:09that lets you know
00:36:10that you are
00:36:11too close.
00:36:12They love to make
00:36:13noise
00:36:14when they are disturbed.
00:36:15With their giant
00:36:16and scary horns
00:36:17on their head,
00:36:18they may seem
00:36:19able to defend themselves,
00:36:20but this is not the case.
00:36:21They only use
00:36:22their feet
00:36:23and sticks
00:36:24on their way
00:36:25to prevent
00:36:26the other males
00:36:27from coming
00:36:28into the female's
00:36:29nests.
00:36:30Not only do they
00:36:31have a horn
00:36:32on their head,
00:36:33but they also
00:36:34have a Herculean strength.
00:36:35They are able
00:36:36to lift
00:36:37their own weight
00:36:38850 times.
00:36:39It's as if you
00:36:40could lift
00:36:4165 tons
00:36:42or 11 elephants.
00:36:43Living mainly
00:36:44in China,
00:36:45the little
00:36:46scorpion fly
00:36:47is adorable
00:36:48with its hairy head,
00:36:49at least
00:36:50until it turns around
00:36:51and becomes
00:36:52a vampire.
00:36:53Fortunately,
00:36:54this animal
00:36:55doesn't want to
00:36:56taste your blood
00:36:57or wear a cape.
00:36:58Only males
00:36:59grow these attributes
00:37:00rather than
00:37:01woods during
00:37:02the mating season
00:37:03in order to
00:37:04fight over
00:37:05territories
00:37:06and females.
00:37:07These crows
00:37:08look more like
00:37:09elephant defenses
00:37:10than
00:37:11sharp teeth.
00:37:12Not only
00:37:13do they have
00:37:14claws,
00:37:15but they are
00:37:16also known
00:37:17to bark like dogs
00:37:18and flee like cats
00:37:19when they are scared.
00:37:20The scorpion
00:37:21lives in the bottom
00:37:22of the sea
00:37:23after particularly
00:37:24violent storms.
00:37:25This algae
00:37:26looks a lot
00:37:27like ketchup
00:37:28or rust
00:37:29thrown into the water.
00:37:30But it's much
00:37:31worse for the life
00:37:32around it.
00:37:33Fish and marine
00:37:34organisms
00:37:35will try to escape
00:37:36once exposed
00:37:37to the toxic
00:37:38algae
00:37:39in their water.
00:37:40It's not particularly
00:37:41harmful for humans
00:37:42who are exposed to it,
00:37:43but if you eat
00:37:44seafood contaminated
00:37:45by these toxins,
00:37:46things can become
00:37:47a little more serious.
00:37:48So if the sea is red,
00:37:49stay out of the water.
00:37:50Some spiders
00:37:51like to harbor
00:37:52bright colors
00:37:53to show
00:37:54that they are dangerous,
00:37:55but not the Australian
00:37:56Atrax robustus.
00:37:57This shiny black spider
00:37:58doesn't need
00:37:59any fireworks
00:38:00to prove
00:38:01that it's strong.
00:38:02It can be
00:38:03very dangerous
00:38:04if it decides
00:38:05to bite you.
00:38:06It can stop
00:38:07your nervous system
00:38:08in just 30 minutes.
00:38:09Wearing their web
00:38:10in any shelter,
00:38:11such as
00:38:12old rags,
00:38:13shoes
00:38:14or even
00:38:15garden dung,
00:38:16the Atrax robustus
00:38:17like to live
00:38:18in their habitat
00:38:19to feed easily.
00:38:20When they have
00:38:21enough of a place,
00:38:22they leave
00:38:23their web behind
00:38:24and go
00:38:25in search
00:38:26of a new place.
00:38:27Some say
00:38:28rattlesnakes
00:38:29are intrepid
00:38:30and, in a way,
00:38:31they may be right.
00:38:32When you're brave enough
00:38:33to steal food
00:38:34from a jaguar,
00:38:35a lion
00:38:36or a hyena,
00:38:37what are you afraid of?
00:38:38These cousins
00:38:39of the Atrax robustus
00:38:40are not only ferocious,
00:38:41they are super smart.
00:38:42They are even
00:38:43known for
00:38:44using tools
00:38:45to escape
00:38:46enclosures.
00:38:47Things like
00:38:48rakes,
00:38:49stones
00:38:50and mud
00:38:51become objects
00:38:52to climb
00:38:53to regain
00:38:54their freedom.
00:38:55In addition to
00:38:56their physical resemblance
00:38:57to the moufette,
00:38:58rattlesnakes
00:38:59have a dangerous
00:39:00gland
00:39:01near their tails
00:39:02which contains
00:39:03a powerful
00:39:04smoking machine.
00:39:05They are therefore
00:39:06brave,
00:39:07smelly,
00:39:08have an extremely
00:39:09elastic and resistant
00:39:10skin
00:39:11and, to top it all off,
00:39:12they enjoy
00:39:13a strong immunity
00:39:14against scorpions
00:39:15and snakes.
00:39:16Have you ever heard
00:39:17of the mushroom
00:39:18Hydnel de Peck?
00:39:19No?
00:39:20And its other name,
00:39:21the toothless mushroom?
00:39:24This mushroom
00:39:25is not toxic,
00:39:26but it has
00:39:27such a bitter taste
00:39:28that you should
00:39:29think twice
00:39:30before tasting one.
00:39:31When it is young
00:39:32and in full growth,
00:39:33this white mushroom
00:39:34seems to have
00:39:35red jelly
00:39:36coming out of its pores.
00:39:37This sticky liquid
00:39:38is sap
00:39:39pushed up
00:39:40because it
00:39:41has absorbed
00:39:42too much water.
00:39:43The adult mushroom
00:39:44is rather bland
00:39:45compared to this.
00:39:46Under the mushroom's hat
00:39:47where these pores
00:39:48are produced,
00:39:49there is a structure
00:39:50in the shape of teeth
00:39:51as if they were
00:39:52not already
00:39:53quite weird.
00:39:54Tasmanian devils
00:39:55have the reputation
00:39:56of having a very
00:39:57bad temper
00:39:58when they feel
00:39:59threatened by a predator,
00:40:00when they fight
00:40:01with other males
00:40:02or when they look
00:40:03for a table
00:40:04for dinner.
00:40:05They are nicknamed
00:40:06devils
00:40:07because of their teeth
00:40:08and one of the
00:40:09scariest screams
00:40:10in the middle of the night.
00:40:11They eat
00:40:12about everything
00:40:13they can find.
00:40:14They are not used
00:40:15to go to people
00:40:16even if they know
00:40:17how to defend themselves
00:40:18if they are threatened.
00:40:19And since their bite
00:40:20is powerful,
00:40:21fortunately,
00:40:22Tasmanian devils
00:40:23prefer to escape.
00:40:26Some nights,
00:40:27when the sky
00:40:28is clear above
00:40:29a powerful storm,
00:40:30it is possible
00:40:31to see elves,
00:40:32gnomes,
00:40:33sylphs
00:40:34or blue geysers.
00:40:37Blue geysers
00:40:38do not have their place
00:40:39in this list,
00:40:40do you think?
00:40:41In fact,
00:40:42I am not talking
00:40:43about blue geysers
00:40:44but about different types
00:40:45of visible lightning
00:40:46very high above
00:40:47storm clouds.
00:40:50Let's take
00:40:51the red sylphs.
00:40:53These flashes of light
00:40:54appear in clouds
00:40:55above storms.
00:40:58They are rare
00:40:59because they are caused
00:41:00only by a specific type
00:41:01of lightning,
00:41:02the positive lightning
00:41:03ground clouds.
00:41:05A positive charge
00:41:06is transferred
00:41:07from a storm cloud
00:41:08to the ground
00:41:09when lightning strikes.
00:41:11This type of lightning
00:41:12only represents
00:41:1310% of all lightning.
00:41:17For more than a century,
00:41:18people believed
00:41:19that these lightnings
00:41:20were only urban legends.
00:41:22It is true
00:41:23that we saw them
00:41:24from time to time
00:41:25but these lightnings
00:41:26were so brief
00:41:27that even if
00:41:28we had the chance
00:41:29to see one,
00:41:30it was impossible
00:41:31to call a second person
00:41:32in time
00:41:33to see the phenomenon
00:41:34and confirm it.
00:41:36Even when
00:41:37respectable experts
00:41:38or pilots
00:41:39came to Ireland,
00:41:40the scientific community
00:41:41ignored them.
00:41:43In 1989,
00:41:44something strange
00:41:45happened.
00:41:47The researchers
00:41:48of the University of Minnesota
00:41:49managed to film
00:41:50sylphs.
00:41:52And that's how
00:41:53it all started.
00:41:54People from all over the world
00:41:55started sharing
00:41:56videos and photos
00:41:57of red sylphs.
00:42:01Red sylphs
00:42:02can appear
00:42:03in the form of balls
00:42:04of a hundred meters
00:42:05of ionized air.
00:42:07These balls
00:42:08descend from a height
00:42:09of about 80 km
00:42:10to 10%
00:42:11of the speed
00:42:12of light.
00:42:14And the researchers
00:42:15studied not only
00:42:16the lightnings
00:42:17that fall from the clouds
00:42:18in a fury,
00:42:19but also these
00:42:20colored flashes
00:42:21that go up
00:42:22into space.
00:42:24Thus,
00:42:25electricity rises
00:42:26to the ionosphere
00:42:27but,
00:42:28at the same time,
00:42:29it goes down
00:42:30to Earth.
00:42:32The red sylphs
00:42:33appear in different forms,
00:42:34for example,
00:42:35in the form of
00:42:36jellyfish,
00:42:37which can have
00:42:38a surface
00:42:39of 77 km².
00:42:41There are
00:42:42carrot-shaped
00:42:43and column-shaped
00:42:44jellyfish.
00:42:45They are similar,
00:42:46but the carrots
00:42:47are endowed
00:42:48with long fangs.
00:42:49The lower part
00:42:50of the fangs
00:42:51is often blue,
00:42:52while their upper
00:42:53part is red.
00:42:54On August 22,
00:42:552022,
00:42:56we were able
00:42:57to take amazing photos
00:42:58of bright red
00:42:59drifts in the sky
00:43:00of the Atacama Desert,
00:43:01in Chile.
00:43:03They were surrounded
00:43:04by another
00:43:05more important
00:43:06greenish color,
00:43:07what is called
00:43:08the night sky light,
00:43:09which is hardly
00:43:10distinguished
00:43:11when the light pollution
00:43:12is significant.
00:43:15This pollution
00:43:16is due to artificial light.
00:43:18It prevents us
00:43:19from observing
00:43:20the stars
00:43:21and other objects
00:43:22that we could normally
00:43:23see in a clear sky.
00:43:25This glare
00:43:26of the air
00:43:27is due to the atoms
00:43:28of nitrogen
00:43:29and oxygen
00:43:30present in the atmosphere.
00:43:32The light of the sun
00:43:33erases their electrons
00:43:34during the day.
00:43:36They then recombine
00:43:37slowly
00:43:38and this process
00:43:39makes them shine.
00:43:42How can we see
00:43:43a red drift?
00:43:45First of all,
00:43:46we have to find
00:43:47a big thunderstorm.
00:43:48They are more frequent
00:43:49in summer and spring,
00:43:50for example,
00:43:51in June.
00:43:52Of course,
00:43:53drifts can appear
00:43:54at any time
00:43:55if there are
00:43:56powerful thunderstorms
00:43:57with lightning
00:43:58at ground level.
00:44:00The sky
00:44:01must be clear
00:44:02and very dark,
00:44:03ideally without
00:44:04moonlight.
00:44:05The thunderstorm
00:44:06must be
00:44:07within a distance
00:44:08between 160
00:44:09and 320 km.
00:44:10Thus,
00:44:11the clouds
00:44:12will not obstruct the sky
00:44:13and the visibility
00:44:14will be better.
00:44:15In the ideal scenario,
00:44:16the thunderstorm
00:44:17will move along
00:44:18a distant horizon
00:44:19so that it will be
00:44:20possible to see
00:44:21above the clouds.
00:44:22We can follow
00:44:23a storm
00:44:24with a meteorological
00:44:25radar.
00:44:26Your eyes
00:44:27need some time
00:44:28to adapt
00:44:29to the darkness
00:44:30around you.
00:44:31Give them some time,
00:44:32about 20 to 30 minutes.
00:44:35Keep your eyes
00:44:36above the clouds
00:44:37and try
00:44:38not to look at them
00:44:39directly.
00:44:40Ignore the lightning.
00:44:42A sylph
00:44:43may appear
00:44:44once every two
00:44:45lightning scenes.
00:44:46Don't expect
00:44:47to capture all this
00:44:48with your camera.
00:44:49It's not easy.
00:44:50But the show
00:44:51will be worth
00:44:52waiting for.
00:44:54We call this phenomenon
00:44:55and other similar ones
00:44:56TLEs,
00:44:57the English acronym
00:44:58for Transitional
00:44:59Light Phenomena.
00:45:02Light blue
00:45:03also deserves
00:45:04our attention.
00:45:05These are
00:45:06weak blue lights
00:45:07that rise very quickly
00:45:08above the powerful
00:45:09thunderstorms.
00:45:11They are also
00:45:12very rare
00:45:13and,
00:45:14in most cases,
00:45:15it is only possible
00:45:16to see them
00:45:17on a plane.
00:45:19And now,
00:45:20let's talk a little
00:45:21about these fairy tale
00:45:22creatures.
00:45:23The elves
00:45:24in the world of lightning
00:45:25are short discs
00:45:26of light
00:45:27that can be seen
00:45:28at about 100 km
00:45:29in the atmosphere.
00:45:30It's just an acronym.
00:45:31Their full name
00:45:32is
00:45:33Light Emission
00:45:34and Disturbance
00:45:35at a very low frequency
00:45:36due to electromagnetic
00:45:37impulse sources.
00:45:39Yes,
00:45:40we can continue
00:45:41to use the word elf.
00:45:44And there are the trolls.
00:45:45These are red spots
00:45:46that appear
00:45:47near the top of the clouds
00:45:48after the lightning
00:45:49of a very powerful
00:45:50red silph.
00:45:53The gnomes
00:45:54are the smallest
00:45:55and fastest lightning.
00:45:56They are tiny
00:45:57points of white light
00:45:58that glow
00:45:59from the top
00:46:00of a large
00:46:01cluster of thunderstorms.
00:46:04The cluster
00:46:05is an elongated cloud
00:46:06that we see
00:46:07at the top of a thunderstorm.
00:46:09It spreads
00:46:10in the direction
00:46:11of the wind
00:46:12at an altitude.
00:46:13The gnomes
00:46:14only last a microsecond.
00:46:16And look at this.
00:46:17The ball lightning
00:46:18appears
00:46:19in the form
00:46:20of flaming orbs
00:46:21that can be
00:46:22as big
00:46:23as a golf ball
00:46:24and even reach
00:46:25the size
00:46:26of a big beach ball.
00:46:27They can be
00:46:28yellow,
00:46:29red,
00:46:30white,
00:46:31orange,
00:46:32or even
00:46:33green.
00:46:34They can be
00:46:35visible
00:46:36for a few seconds
00:46:37or even a few minutes.
00:46:39Over the centuries,
00:46:40many people
00:46:41have said
00:46:42they have seen
00:46:43this phenomenon
00:46:44sometimes even
00:46:45seeing the balls
00:46:46floating
00:46:47up to their houses.
00:46:49But such events
00:46:50are really unpredictable
00:46:51and rarely happen.
00:46:53Scientists
00:46:54have managed
00:46:55to recreate
00:46:56this lightning
00:46:57in a laboratory
00:46:58or at least
00:46:59something very close.
00:47:00This lightning
00:47:01comes from the ground
00:47:02and results
00:47:03from the vaporization
00:47:04of various
00:47:05mineral particles.
00:47:07Here is something
00:47:08spectacular.
00:47:09Volcanic lightning.
00:47:11It is born
00:47:12in the panache
00:47:13of an eruption.
00:47:15Like any storm,
00:47:16volcanic lightning
00:47:17is formed
00:47:18when static electricity
00:47:19accumulates
00:47:20in the Earth's atmosphere.
00:47:23It is then
00:47:24released
00:47:25in the form of lightning.
00:47:26Scientists
00:47:27do not yet understand
00:47:28the whole process
00:47:29but they think
00:47:30it is linked
00:47:31to a powerful charge.
00:47:33For example,
00:47:34the ice charge
00:47:35is at the origin
00:47:36of the formation
00:47:37of storms.
00:47:38It also plays
00:47:39a role
00:47:40in the production
00:47:41of lightning
00:47:42during volcanic eruptions.
00:47:43This phenomenon
00:47:44occurs when
00:47:45the air heated
00:47:46by an eruption
00:47:47rises into the sky
00:47:48and meets
00:47:49cold air.
00:47:50The water
00:47:51from the eruption
00:47:52turns into
00:47:53ice particles
00:47:54and,
00:47:55when these particles
00:47:56collide with each other,
00:47:57some electrons
00:47:58are released.
00:47:59The ice particles
00:48:00that now have
00:48:01a positive charge
00:48:02move higher
00:48:03in the sky
00:48:04and gather.
00:48:05It can also be
00:48:06a frictional charge,
00:48:07another event
00:48:08that leads
00:48:09to volcanic lightning.
00:48:10The phenomenon
00:48:11is similar
00:48:12to that of the ice charge,
00:48:13except that here
00:48:14it is ashes
00:48:15and pieces of rock
00:48:16that collide
00:48:17and create
00:48:18an electric charge.
00:48:19There are also
00:48:20gamma-ray flashes.
00:48:21More than 10 years ago,
00:48:22researchers
00:48:23discovered
00:48:24that storms
00:48:25could generate
00:48:26short
00:48:27and very strong
00:48:28gamma-ray flashes,
00:48:29the most energetic
00:48:30form of light.
00:48:31These rays
00:48:32are so bright
00:48:33that they can blind
00:48:34satellite sensors
00:48:35even when they are
00:48:36hundreds of kilometers away.
00:48:38They can also
00:48:39create antimatter.
00:48:41Antimatter
00:48:42is a type of matter
00:48:43composed of
00:48:44charged particles
00:48:45opposite to
00:48:46normal matter.
00:48:47Imagine that you are
00:48:48two boxes
00:48:49filled with blocks.
00:48:50Some blocks
00:48:51are red
00:48:52and others are blue.
00:48:53When these blocks
00:48:54touch each other,
00:48:55they disappear
00:48:57and transform
00:48:58into energy.
00:48:59This is what happens
00:49:00when particles of matter
00:49:01and antimatter
00:49:02meet.
00:49:03And these flashes
00:49:04could be the result
00:49:05of gamma rays
00:49:06because they emit
00:49:07a light
00:49:08that is not really visible.
00:49:09Ordinary lightning
00:49:10involves
00:49:11slow electrons.
00:49:12In gamma-ray flashes,
00:49:13the electrons
00:49:14are very energetic.
00:49:16They crash
00:49:17on air molecules
00:49:18and produce
00:49:19this strange phenomenon.
00:49:21It is known
00:49:22that a robbery
00:49:23takes place
00:49:24every 15 seconds
00:49:25in the United States.
00:49:27This means
00:49:28that around
00:49:294,800 robberies
00:49:30take place
00:49:31every day.
00:49:32And the police
00:49:33can only elucidate
00:49:3413%
00:49:35of all reported cases.
00:49:37So, yes,
00:49:38we are not kidding
00:49:39about home security.
00:49:41So I won't do it.
00:49:43But still,
00:49:44don't worry.
00:49:45You don't need
00:49:46to turn your house
00:49:47into a fortress
00:49:48to feel safe.
00:49:50You can do
00:49:51a lot of things
00:49:52to prevent
00:49:53bad guys
00:49:54from robbing you
00:49:55of your valuables
00:49:56without ruining you.
00:49:57Everything
00:49:58in its time.
00:49:59Houses
00:50:00without security systems
00:50:01are 300%
00:50:02more likely
00:50:03to be robbed.
00:50:04So you should
00:50:05consider
00:50:06installing one.
00:50:07However,
00:50:08there are
00:50:09many different models.
00:50:10So it can be
00:50:11difficult
00:50:12to choose
00:50:13the one
00:50:14that best
00:50:15suits your specific needs
00:50:16in terms of
00:50:17desired protection
00:50:18and your budget.
00:50:19But everything
00:50:20ultimately comes down
00:50:21to two solutions.
00:50:22Professional
00:50:23and home installation.
00:50:24Let's take a look
00:50:25at both.
00:50:26Professional
00:50:27systems require
00:50:28specialized supervision
00:50:29and are generally
00:50:30subject to
00:50:31a long-term contract.
00:50:32These systems
00:50:33are paid.
00:50:34However,
00:50:35the initial expense
00:50:36is generally
00:50:37relatively low
00:50:38because the suppliers
00:50:39scale the costs
00:50:40over the entire
00:50:41duration of the contract.
00:50:42Once you have
00:50:43chosen
00:50:44a professional
00:50:45installation,
00:50:46the company
00:50:47will first
00:50:48arrange
00:50:49an appointment
00:50:50with one
00:50:51of its
00:50:52experienced technicians
00:50:53who will
00:50:54conduct an
00:50:55evaluation
00:50:56and explain
00:50:57all the options
00:50:58available to you.
00:50:59And as long as
00:51:00your contract
00:51:01is in order,
00:51:02you can report
00:51:03all the problems
00:51:04you encounter
00:51:05with your system.
00:51:06They will make sure
00:51:07that everything
00:51:08works properly.
00:51:09In short,
00:51:10a professional
00:51:11security system
00:51:12will allow you
00:51:13to relax.
00:51:14You won't have
00:51:15to spend hours
00:51:16watching tutorials
00:51:17or reading manuals.
00:51:18However,
00:51:19professional
00:51:20security systems
00:51:21may not suit you
00:51:22especially if
00:51:23you are a tenant
00:51:24because the conditions
00:51:25of the contract
00:51:26can sometimes
00:51:27be restrictive.
00:51:28Or maybe
00:51:29you are not a tenant
00:51:30and it is a question
00:51:31of budget for you.
00:51:32In this case,
00:51:33a house installation
00:51:34is probably
00:51:35what you need.
00:51:36The advantage
00:51:37is that if the average
00:51:38price is around
00:51:3950 euros per month
00:51:40for a professional
00:51:41system,
00:51:42it is only
00:51:4330 euros
00:51:44for a house system.
00:51:45In addition,
00:51:46you have nothing
00:51:47to spend
00:51:48for the installation
00:51:49itself.
00:51:50However,
00:51:51you will have to
00:51:52wait for a higher
00:51:53initial cost
00:51:54if you choose
00:51:55this option.
00:51:56And there is also
00:51:57the fact that
00:51:58a house installation
00:51:59may not be
00:52:00perfectly realized.
00:52:01There may be
00:52:02flaws
00:52:03that a professional
00:52:04would have detected.
00:52:05In the end,
00:52:06the most important thing
00:52:07before choosing
00:52:08a system
00:52:09is to evaluate
00:52:10your needs
00:52:11according to
00:52:12the place
00:52:13where you live
00:52:14and your house
00:52:15itself.
00:52:16Did you know
00:52:17that 34%
00:52:18of thieves
00:52:19are people?
00:52:20If your door
00:52:21is not solid enough,
00:52:22it's a bit like
00:52:23if you were
00:52:24inviting burglars.
00:52:25It is not enough
00:52:26to install
00:52:27a security system.
00:52:28You must also
00:52:29inspect all
00:52:30your doors.
00:52:31Make sure
00:52:32that their
00:52:33chambers are robust
00:52:34and their hinges
00:52:35are well protected.
00:52:36You can always
00:52:37use reinforcement
00:52:38kits.
00:52:39If there is
00:52:40an opening
00:52:41for the mail
00:52:42in your door,
00:52:43check that
00:52:44it is not possible
00:52:45to pass your hand
00:52:46there.
00:52:47When you live
00:52:48in a house,
00:52:49make sure
00:52:50to change
00:52:51the locks.
00:52:52This way,
00:52:53you will ensure
00:52:54that no one
00:52:55can enter your house
00:52:56by using
00:52:57a simple key.
00:52:58Another way
00:52:59to secure your door
00:53:00is to install
00:53:01a connected camera.
00:53:02This one,
00:53:03offered by Amazon,
00:53:04is extremely
00:53:05easy to use.
00:53:06It is 100%
00:53:07wireless.
00:53:08It has
00:53:09an integrated
00:53:10rechargeable battery
00:53:11that will last
00:53:12between 1 and 2 months.
00:53:13So you won't have
00:53:14to recharge it
00:53:15too often.
00:53:16You can monitor
00:53:17the weather
00:53:18thanks to
00:53:19the phone app.
00:53:20It also has
00:53:21a motion detection
00:53:22technology
00:53:23and a night vision.
00:53:24And you don't
00:53:25have to worry
00:53:26about the weather
00:53:27because it is
00:53:28also waterproof.
00:53:29By the way,
00:53:30don't forget
00:53:31the sliding doors.
00:53:32You can use
00:53:33bars or
00:53:34put ankles
00:53:35in the rails
00:53:36to prevent
00:53:37them from being
00:53:38forced.
00:53:39You can also
00:53:40install sensors
00:53:41that will
00:53:42let you know
00:53:43if someone
00:53:44is trying to
00:53:45open them
00:53:46or not.
00:53:47Let's talk
00:53:48about the basics
00:53:49of home security.
00:53:50The percentage
00:53:51of burglars
00:53:52who enter
00:53:53a house through
00:53:54a window
00:53:55reaches 23%.
00:53:56The main reason
00:53:57is that most
00:53:58of the time
00:53:59people forget
00:54:00to lock
00:54:01their doors.
00:54:02And burglars
00:54:03can always
00:54:04break a window.
00:54:05If you don't
00:54:06want that to
00:54:07happen,
00:54:08you can try
00:54:09to reinforce
00:54:10your windows
00:54:11with a security
00:54:12film,
00:54:13add bars
00:54:14or install
00:54:15pins under
00:54:16the windows
00:54:17of your ground floor
00:54:18to discourage
00:54:19burglars
00:54:20from entering
00:54:21your house
00:54:22by mistake.
00:54:23What is the
00:54:24difference
00:54:25between an actor
00:54:26and a burglar?
00:54:27Burglars
00:54:28don't like
00:54:29spotlights.
00:54:30It's always good
00:54:31to have
00:54:32an outside light.
00:54:33Lamps
00:54:34must be placed
00:54:35in front
00:54:36and behind
00:54:37your house,
00:54:38along the
00:54:39alleys
00:54:40and near
00:54:41the garage.
00:54:42To make
00:54:43these lamps
00:54:44work at
00:54:45solar energy,
00:54:46you can save
00:54:47money.
00:54:48And that doesn't
00:54:49mean that you
00:54:50won't have
00:54:51more light
00:54:52the day
00:54:53the sky
00:54:54is cloudy.
00:54:55They can
00:54:56work for
00:54:57five nights
00:54:58by the rain.
00:54:59Burglars
00:55:00must not
00:55:01be able
00:55:02to play hide-and-seek.
00:55:03If trees
00:55:04and shrubs
00:55:05can embellish
00:55:06your house,
00:55:07they can also
00:55:08be used
00:55:09to hide
00:55:10burglars.
00:55:11That's why
00:55:12you have to
00:55:13hide
00:55:14burglars
00:55:15and shrubs.
00:55:16This way,
00:55:17burglars
00:55:18won't have
00:55:19any place
00:55:20to hide
00:55:21while you leave.
00:55:22The same
00:55:23goes for
00:55:24portals,
00:55:25entrances
00:55:26and other
00:55:27exterior constructions.
00:55:28Make sure
00:55:29they are
00:55:30well locked.
00:55:31Burglars
00:55:32also use
00:55:33ladders
00:55:34and ladders
00:55:35to enter
00:55:36through the windows.
00:55:37So don't
00:55:38try to
00:55:39let them
00:55:40get in
00:55:41from the outside.
00:55:42If they
00:55:43don't
00:55:44get in
00:55:45from the outside,
00:55:46you probably
00:55:47keep some
00:55:48valuables
00:55:49that might
00:55:50interest
00:55:51burglars.
00:55:52You should
00:55:53also
00:55:54store your
00:55:55garage door
00:55:56in your
00:55:57house
00:55:58rather than
00:55:59in your
00:56:00car.
00:56:01This way,
00:56:02burglars
00:56:03won't be
00:56:04able to
00:56:05get in
00:56:06so easily.
00:56:07If you
00:56:08use a
00:56:09security code
00:56:10to open
00:56:11your garage door,
00:56:12it will
00:56:13also
00:56:14help
00:56:15to
00:56:16secure
00:56:17your
00:56:18garage.
00:56:19Burglars
00:56:20as well as
00:56:21package
00:56:22thieves
00:56:23are a
00:56:24big problem
00:56:25today.
00:56:26Last year,
00:56:27nearly
00:56:281 in 7
00:56:29Americans
00:56:30became
00:56:31victims.
00:56:32This is
00:56:33when
00:56:34security cameras
00:56:35become
00:56:36useful.
00:56:37First of all,
00:56:38they have
00:56:39a
00:56:40good
00:56:41price.
00:56:42If you
00:56:43can't
00:56:44afford
00:56:45a good
00:56:46camera,
00:56:47you can
00:56:48buy a
00:56:49fake one.
00:56:50They are
00:56:51much
00:56:52cheaper
00:56:53and
00:56:54will
00:56:55give you
00:56:56the impression
00:56:57that your
00:56:58house is
00:56:59protected.
00:57:00It's
00:57:01quite
00:57:02dissuasive.
00:57:03This one
00:57:04is worth
00:57:05the price
00:57:06if you
00:57:07are looking
00:57:08for one.
00:57:10Some
00:57:11burglars will
00:57:12always
00:57:13break into
00:57:14your house
00:57:15despite
00:57:16all your
00:57:17precautions.
00:57:18So you
00:57:19must always
00:57:20make sure
00:57:21your valuables
00:57:22are safe.
00:57:23You can
00:57:24put everything
00:57:25you want
00:57:26in there,
00:57:27your jewels,
00:57:28your most
00:57:29important files,
00:57:30everything will
00:57:31be well
00:57:32protected.
00:57:33If you
00:57:34get one,
00:57:35make sure
00:57:36it is
00:57:37waterproof,
00:57:38safe
00:57:39and
00:57:40safe.
00:57:41When you
00:57:42think about
00:57:43the most
00:57:44dangerous
00:57:45birds in
00:57:46the world,
00:57:47it can be
00:57:48eagles or
00:57:49vultures that
00:57:50come to
00:57:51your mind.
00:57:52Surprisingly,
00:57:53the Casuaridae
00:57:54can cause
00:57:55much more
00:57:56damage than
00:57:57the famous
00:57:58angry birds
00:57:59mentioned
00:58:00earlier.
00:58:01It is the
00:58:02third largest
00:58:03bird in
00:58:04the world
00:58:05and the
00:58:06second largest
00:58:07bird in
00:58:08the world.
00:58:09The largest
00:58:10species of
00:58:11Casuaridae
00:58:12can be as
00:58:13large as
00:58:14an ordinary
00:58:15person and
00:58:16weigh just
00:58:17as much.
00:58:18Just like
00:58:19you,
00:58:20these greasy
00:58:21birds can't
00:58:22fly but
00:58:23they run
00:58:24fast so
00:58:25don't try to
00:58:26escape them.
00:58:27They can
00:58:28even reach you
00:58:29in the water
00:58:30because they
00:58:31are great
00:58:32swimmers.
00:58:33They can
00:58:34run as fast
00:58:35as 50 km
00:58:36an hour
00:58:37without
00:58:38stopping.
00:58:39They are
00:58:40graceful creatures.
00:58:41Well,
00:58:42that's what
00:58:43we all think.
00:58:44In fact,
00:58:45touching one
00:58:46of these
00:58:4713 kg
00:58:48birds is
00:58:49a very
00:58:50bad idea.
00:58:51They have
00:58:52bones in
00:58:53their wings
00:58:54that they
00:58:55use to
00:58:56destroy
00:58:57their
00:58:58enemies.
00:58:59Their
00:59:00size is
00:59:01about
00:59:022.5 meters
00:59:03and they
00:59:04can
00:59:05easily
00:59:06reach
00:59:07you.
00:59:08If
00:59:09you
00:59:10touch
00:59:11them,
00:59:12you
00:59:13will
00:59:14be
00:59:15attacked.
00:59:16If
00:59:17you
00:59:18touch
00:59:19them,
00:59:20you
00:59:21will
00:59:22be
00:59:23attacked.
00:59:24If
00:59:25you
00:59:26touch
00:59:27them,
00:59:28they
00:59:29will
00:59:30be
00:59:31attacked.
00:59:32If
00:59:33you
00:59:34touch
00:59:35them,
00:59:36they
00:59:37will
00:59:38be
00:59:39attacked.
00:59:40If
00:59:41you
00:59:42touch
00:59:43them,
00:59:44they
00:59:45will
00:59:46be
00:59:47attacked.
00:59:48If
00:59:49you
00:59:50touch
00:59:51them,
00:59:52they
00:59:53will
00:59:54be
00:59:55just
00:59:56attacked.
00:59:57They
00:59:58are
00:59:59lovely
01:00:00creatures.
01:00:01They
01:00:02even
01:00:03an impressive size, up to 1.5 meters high, just below the average size of a man.
01:00:08No wonder he can fight a crocodile.
01:00:10Okay, a baby crocodile, but ... he only needs his super powerful jaw to win
01:00:15in one go.
01:00:16Still not afraid?
01:00:17He makes noises that are cold in the back, a bit like in a blockbuster.
01:00:20If you think that these cowardly ostriches do not represent any danger, you are wrong
01:00:27twice.
01:00:28First, they don't put their heads in the sand.
01:00:30It's an optical illusion.
01:00:31Yes, how are they supposed to breathe in the sand?
01:00:34Secondly, they are very protective hen parents.
01:00:37So if you want to get close to their little ones, know that they can run as fast as a
01:00:41city car.
01:00:42Still not worried?
01:00:43Well, you should, however.
01:00:45Ostriches are the closest living parents of the T-Rex with chickens.
01:00:48The Hatzins look completely harmless, except for their fetid smell, but that's another
01:00:55story.
01:00:56But their babies have reputable wings.
01:00:58The hatchlings have two distinct claws, which are multivalent.
01:01:01First, they are a kind of protection against predators, and secondly, they help them
01:01:05climb trees in case the baby is out of bed.
01:01:09Once they have grown up, the claws disappear like toothpicks.
01:01:12Size is not always of great importance.
01:01:16If you were a hummingbird, you should eat almost 150 kg of food a day to maintain
01:01:21a normal weight, with the metabolism of this little bird.
01:01:24But its lifespan would also be much shorter, only 3 to 5 years.
01:01:29If you dye your hair, you probably have more in common with a vulture than you think.
01:01:35We are probably the only two species in the world that use dye on purpose.
01:01:39Vultures dye their feathers with red soil to show their dominance over other birds.
01:01:45Humans?
01:01:46Well, we just like change.
01:01:48California condors may not be as big as a plane, but they are still huge.
01:01:56Their wingspan is almost 3 meters.
01:01:58They are potentially dangerous for people, but the chances of you meeting one are
01:02:02slim.
01:02:03There are only about 200 in the United States.
01:02:05Here you are looking for something delicious in the fridge, but you don't see what
01:02:11you really want.
01:02:12If you were a griffin, you would drop a big pea.
01:02:16It seems disgusting, but apparently that's how these birds find the green of the hidden
01:02:20ground.
01:02:21A gas attack to stun them and voila, they are now an easy target.
01:02:24We cover our noses and hop, bon appétit of course.
01:02:27Ok, enough of these crazy stories.
01:02:31Let's look at the sky.
01:02:33You wouldn't expect to see a venomous bird on this list, but alas, I present to you
01:02:38the bicolor pitohy.
01:02:40Scientists discovered that they were venomous when they began to feel
01:02:44the bites and burning sensations after manipulating these birds.
01:02:48There are a lot of toxins in their feathers, especially on the underside.
01:02:51Birds do not produce toxins themselves, they probably get them from the colopters
01:02:56they eat.
01:02:57And what about Gambian armed wolves?
01:02:59They are also known for their toxicity, and this toxicity comes from the consumption
01:03:05of meloids.
01:03:06You can touch them without danger, but eating one can have irreversible consequences.
01:03:11The toxin even subsists after cooking.
01:03:14Another bird you don't want to eat is a common kai.
01:03:17Don't confuse it with a Japanese kai, which is generally conserved as a fly.
01:03:21Common kai can be really toxic and cause consequences as terrible as
01:03:26a renal failure.
01:03:27It all depends on the plants this bird eats.
01:03:29Good news, it is venomous only during the migration period, but it is delicious
01:03:34and safe outside of migration.
01:03:36If you are not sure, it is better to avoid having it on your plate, unless you want
01:03:40to have muscle pain.
01:03:42If you see a cute snow arfang, you'd better close your eyes and run away.
01:03:49They may look innocent, but they actually have acerated gills like razors, which
01:03:54they know how to use perfectly.
01:03:55They lead them to the most vulnerable parts, such as the head, the eyes ... you got it,
01:04:00don't rub yourself against a snow arfang.
01:04:02Another species you don't want to be around is the Chateaui chateau.
01:04:07This little bird and its innocent eyes ... no, no, don't let yourself be fooled.
01:04:11Remember their appearance and never touch them.
01:04:14They are as venomous as the famous frogs and poisoned arrows of Central and South America.
01:04:19The Ifrita of Kowald may be tiny, but it has a toxic mechanism that makes this little
01:04:26bird invincible.
01:04:27It only eats certain types of coleopteres that provide it with special toxins.
01:04:31Even if you touch it, you will probably be intoxicated by the intoxication.
01:04:36It is inedible because the toxins do not disappear even when it is cooked.
01:04:39Royal eagles are the engines of the world of birds.
01:04:44They can carry weights up to 1.8 kg.
01:04:47They easily capture turtles and other prey.
01:04:50These powerful birds are strong enough to fly a baby, but they never do.
01:04:54In addition, in Mongolia, people even use these eagles to hunt wolves.
01:04:58The Canadian hippos have lived near humans for years, but they are always wary of
01:05:03us approaching their habitat, especially in the spring, the season of love.
01:05:07During this period, females can chase and bite people they consider a threat to their
01:05:12eggs, their companions or their babies.
01:05:14If you want to avoid being attacked by these birds very angry, the best thing to do is
01:05:18to step back very slowly.
01:05:20Romantic seagulls in the sky don't seem to cause a lot of trouble.
01:05:25The worst they can do is release some unwanted excrements.
01:05:28This impression is quite misleading, because these birds are very aggressive.
01:05:33Like all birds of their species, they don't attack because they want to.
01:05:36The rule is therefore very simple, don't touch these birds and stay away from their nest.
01:05:41When the time machine has finally been invented, be very careful with the birds of the past.
01:05:47The velociraptors that were on earth at the time, just like the rest of the dinosaurs,
01:05:51had greaves and feathers.
01:05:53So they were real birds and not lizards and roaches.
01:05:56By the way, it is the pointed greaves that you should be afraid of.
01:05:59They can cut anything.
01:06:01Be careful if you decide to leave in the future too.
01:06:04You never know what can wait for you there.
01:06:08There are more and more burglaries in your neighborhood.
01:06:11And you wonder if your house could be targeted.
01:06:16You don't have a surveillance system.
01:06:18So tonight, you put aluminum foil on the handle of your front door before going to bed.
01:06:25This will allow you to know if someone has tried to enter your home while you were sleeping.
01:06:31You wake up the next morning and you see that the aluminum foil is slightly torn.
01:06:35Someone has passed through here and he is certain that he will come back.
01:06:40Another option is to put a cup on the handle of your door.
01:06:43When the handle turns, the cup will fall.
01:06:45The noise will wake you up and will probably dissuade the intruder.
01:06:51You must be careful if a worker has recently passed by your house.
01:06:55He told you that he was working not far away and asked you to use your toilets.
01:07:01You refused and you regretted being impolite at the time.
01:07:04But in reality, you did well.
01:07:07About 60% of burglaries in the United States are the fact of a person you know or you have already met.
01:07:15This worker, by going to the toilet, could have adjusted something in your house to facilitate his return.
01:07:22He may have wanted to take a look at your security system,
01:07:25check the different possibilities of entry,
01:07:28or know if you keep valuables at home.
01:07:33Today, you are finally going on vacation.
01:07:36You must prepare your house so that it is not the target of burglars.
01:07:41A full mailbox will immediately notify a potential thief.
01:07:45Ask your neighbor to empty it during your absence.
01:07:49A well-kept property is a sign that its owners are still there.
01:07:53Your lawn is still taut and your hedge is cut.
01:07:56You will therefore have to ask someone to do it during your holidays.
01:08:02It's winter. The snow around your house could inform burglars that you are not at home.
01:08:07Asking a neighbor to make footsteps in your driveway could dissuade malicious people.
01:08:14Some types of hedges are very useful to prevent people from entering your home.
01:08:18Pointed-leaf shrubs are a very good idea.
01:08:24If someone jumps into your garden and lands on a bush filled with spruces,
01:08:28it will immediately make a cry of pain.
01:08:31Your neighbors will immediately know that there is an intruder.
01:08:35And the spruces will also hang fragments of fabric that can later serve as evidence.
01:08:42In preparation for your trip last week,
01:08:45you opened and closed your curtains at different times of the day.
01:08:49You made sure to do it irregularly.
01:08:52Whether they remain open or closed does not matter.
01:08:55This is in case someone is watching your property.
01:08:59Burglars always take the time to observe the houses of certain neighborhoods
01:09:03before detecting vulnerable dwellings.
01:09:07And they hate more than anything the vigilant neighbors.
01:09:10They inquire before acting.
01:09:13And they avoid areas where patrols have been made.
01:09:16Why not organize one with your neighbors?
01:09:21Move all expensive electronic devices away from the windows
01:09:24so that they cannot be seen from the outside.
01:09:27Put them in a closet or in a closed room.
01:09:32Don't worry about your TV.
01:09:34It is too bulky and stealing it is more difficult.
01:09:37Criminals are more interested in your iPad and your game console.
01:09:42Put your jewelry and other small valuables in boxes
01:09:45and hide them in a secret place.
01:09:49The children's room is usually a good hiding place.
01:09:52Burglars have recognized never to enter there
01:09:55because toys have little value.
01:09:59Take pictures of all the serial numbers of your electronic devices
01:10:02and make an inventory to ensure them.
01:10:0695% of burglaries are done by force.
01:10:09You would do well to consolidate your windows and doors.
01:10:13You can make the task even more difficult to the bad guys.
01:10:16Remove all the stools, chairs and ladders from your garden
01:10:19and put them in your garage.
01:10:22It could help the thieves to access the highest entry points
01:10:25like the openings for air conditioners.
01:10:30They pass through there very often
01:10:32because you can't reinforce them
01:10:34and they are easy to tear to enter your home.
01:10:37Don't make the task easier by giving them a ladder.
01:10:42Burglars can break a fragile door in a minute.
01:10:45A metal frame will offer you more protection than a wooden frame.
01:10:49The hinges and the lock must be strong enough to resist the kick.
01:10:53After a while, they will drop.
01:10:58The lock is always a weak point
01:11:00because it can be easily picked up by an experienced thief.
01:11:03Thanks to a simple protection lock,
01:11:05you can be sure that no one will pass through there.
01:11:10The hinges of your garage door pivot to the outside
01:11:13which makes it vulnerable.
01:11:15You can access it by simply removing the pins.
01:11:18Replace them with secured pins that cannot be removed.
01:11:24Finally, the tilting doors of garages
01:11:26are one of the first access points for burglars.
01:11:30They don't have locks and you can easily open them.
01:11:33Attach a padlock on the latch that connects it to its slide.
01:11:36It won't move.
01:11:39If your garage door doesn't allow you to do so,
01:11:42drill a hole in the slide just above the metal curtain
01:11:45and place a padlock.
01:11:49Thieves are afraid of dogs.
01:11:51They watch and guard your house.
01:11:54According to a study, most burglars didn't have dogs.
01:11:58Remember that barks can sometimes wake up a whole neighborhood.
01:12:03But you don't have a dog at home.
01:12:06You just need to place a padlock in front of your door
01:12:09to discourage thieves.
01:12:12Burglars have adapted to modern technology.
01:12:154 criminals out of 5 use social networks
01:12:18like Facebook, Twitter and Google Maps
01:12:21to choose their target.
01:12:24If you share a photo where the keys of your house are shown,
01:12:27a burglar can zoom in and take exact measurements
01:12:30to create a double.
01:12:34Make sure your wireless network is secure
01:12:37and use a complex password during your absence.
01:12:40Thieves are not only interested in the objects you own.
01:12:45Your passwords and access codes are vulnerable
01:12:48with a poorly secured network.
01:12:50And beware of surveillance software and other harmful viruses.
01:12:55You can also completely block the view of your house
01:12:58on Google Maps.
01:13:01Type the address of your house,
01:13:03look for your residence in the image,
01:13:05press Option and select Report a Problem.
01:13:10A page with an image of your house will appear.
01:13:13You can then place a red square to cover your property.
01:13:19Ask for the image to be blurred under the option My House.
01:13:24And take your exact address.
01:13:26The processing of your request will take a few days.
01:13:30Do not leave the radio on during your absence.
01:13:33It's useless.
01:13:35When they watch your house,
01:13:37the thieves pay attention to the sound of the radio and television.
01:13:42If they notice that your devices are never off,
01:13:45they will know that they can enter without fear of falling on someone.
01:13:50A better option to protect yourself
01:13:52is to create your own audio recording.
01:13:55Ambient sounds are broadcast irregularly throughout the day.
01:13:59With footsteps, conversations and a barking dog.
01:14:04Leaving your lights on is not a good idea either.
01:14:07The burglars will notice your house more easily,
01:14:10especially at night.
01:14:12And in addition, you will receive a really high electricity bill.
01:14:17You are about to go on vacation
01:14:19and you have to take out the trash.
01:14:22If you have large boxes,
01:14:24fold them so that they fit in your trash.
01:14:27Hide everything that could indicate that you have valuables at home.
01:14:32One last look,
01:14:34all the doors are locked and the windows are closed.
01:14:37You will finally be able to enjoy your trip.
01:14:41But while you have fun in your vacation spot,
01:14:44keep photos on your phone until you return.
01:14:47You will have time to share them with your friends.
01:14:52If you share your photos during your absence,
01:14:55all these preparations will have been useless.
01:14:58All the criminals in the region will know that you have left.
01:15:03With 2.5 million houses robbed every year in the United States,
01:15:07know that a property without a security system
01:15:10is 300% more likely to be targeted.
01:15:13Think about installing one around you.
01:15:16It will be very useful to you.
01:15:18You have probably heard that when a burglar decides to target a house,
01:15:22he starts by scouting it.
01:15:24This means that he first observes the owners' whereabouts,
01:15:28discovers information about their habits
01:15:30and determines the best time to enter their home.
01:15:33When he is ready to commit his larceny,
01:15:36he already knows for sure when there will be no one inside
01:15:39or when the owners will be distracted.
01:15:42One of the tricks used by thieves to collect information about your routine
01:15:46is so simple that you may not even think about it.
01:15:49But the next time you hear a discreet crack under the sole of your shoe,
01:15:53stop and check what it was.
01:15:56There is a good chance that you will find a crushed biscuit under the cobblestone.
01:16:00If this is the case, it is an indication that something is going on.
01:16:04It is a rather effective method that criminals use
01:16:07to know if you have gone on a trip
01:16:09or when you get home exactly in the evening.
01:16:12A biscuit is such a common object
01:16:14that people generally don't pay much attention to it.
01:16:17And yet they have to notice it.
01:16:19You arrive at home, you walk on the biscuit
01:16:22and you automatically reveal all your secrets to the burglar.
01:16:25They know for sure if the house is inhabited
01:16:28and can also know your schedule.
01:16:31It is even worse if you are not at home.
01:16:33The biscuit under the cobblestone remains intact,
01:16:36indicating to the criminal that the way is clear for a crime.
01:16:40So if you find a biscuit under your cobblestone,
01:16:43it's pretty bad news.
01:16:45Someone is interested in your house and is watching it.
01:16:48It might be a good idea to call the police
01:16:51or take additional security measures.
01:16:54The biscuit technique is just one of the many tricks used by burglars.
01:16:59Another sign that can alert you that you are under surveillance
01:17:02is the presence of white pebbles left near your house or in the alley.
01:17:06This means that a criminal has already visited your house
01:17:09and marked it as deserving of being robbed.
01:17:12Another reason why burglars may have left pebbles
01:17:15is to indicate that your house remains empty during the day.
01:17:18If you are walking down the street
01:17:20and you notice a USB key protruding from a sidewalk or a wall,
01:17:23don't be surprised.
01:17:25You have most likely come across a dead drop.
01:17:28Despite its frightening name,
01:17:30it is in fact a global artistic project
01:17:32that has borrowed a few tips from the world of espionage.
01:17:35Many people who know about this project
01:17:37are happy to be able to put on their black coats and sunglasses
01:17:40and exchange confidential information with other people.
01:17:44The fact is that several decades ago,
01:17:46spies had their own way of exchanging secret materials.
01:17:50There was the live drop,
01:17:52when spies met in person,
01:17:54but it was often very dangerous.
01:17:57This is why a dead drop system was invented.
01:18:00In this case, a few bricks detached from a wall in a alley
01:18:03allowed to hide important documents
01:18:05that had to be recovered later.
01:18:08Today, there are more than 1,500 dead drops all over the world,
01:18:12and the data accumulated on these USB keys reaches 10 teraoctets.
01:18:16You can find a dead drop on any continent you visit,
01:18:20except Antarctica maybe,
01:18:22because there are not as many walls as that over there.
01:18:24If you find one, what to do with it?
01:18:26First of all, it is highly advisable
01:18:28to connect an unknown USB key to your computer.
01:18:32You never know what virus is hiding there,
01:18:34waiting to destroy the content of your hard drive.
01:18:37And even if the risk is part of the game,
01:18:39it does not cause too much luck.
01:18:41If you are 100% sure you want to play,
01:18:44secure your computer as best you can.
01:18:46You can not imagine what information awaits you on a USB key.
01:18:50Everyone can download videos, photos or text files,
01:18:54and this has already led to several problems.
01:18:57On the same subject, have you ever received a package with a USB key inside?
01:19:01Whatever you decide to do with it, do not plug it into your computer.
01:19:05Such cases are more and more frequent in Australia.
01:19:08The police warn people that computer pirates have invented a new tactic.
01:19:13They put anonymous USB keys in mailboxes.
01:19:17You will probably not be surprised to learn that these gadgets
01:19:20contain malicious software capable of hacking your computer.
01:19:24Their authors clearly rely on human curiosity,
01:19:28and it must be said that it pays.
01:19:30People can not fight against the inexplicable desire
01:19:33to verify the content of a mysterious gift.
01:19:35As a result, almost half of the USB keys received by the post office
01:19:39are introduced into computers.
01:19:42Then, people begin to have serious problems with their laptops and computers.
01:19:47For example, fraudulent media begin to broadcast service offers,
01:19:51or computer viruses damage files and computer programs.
01:19:56In short, do not touch this USB key fallen from the sky, okay?
01:20:01You leave a shopping mall, or your office, or the airport,
01:20:04and you go to the parking lot to get your car.
01:20:07You unlock it and put the key on the ignition.
01:20:10When you are about to start and leave,
01:20:12you see something strange on your windshield.
01:20:15Is it a 100-euro bill wrapped around your windshield wiper?
01:20:18Oh, you could certainly find a way to spend this unexpected gift.
01:20:22But do you really think that someone could accidentally
01:20:25put money on your windshield and forget it?
01:20:28Beware, it's obviously a scam.
01:20:31As soon as you get out of your car to take a closer look at this mysterious banknote,
01:20:35its owner will take action.
01:20:38He will get in your car and leave at full speed.
01:20:41Few people will think of cutting the contact and taking their belongings with them
01:20:45to go and check if it is really a 100-euro bill.
01:20:48As a result, in less than a minute, you will lose your car,
01:20:52your wallet and your documents,
01:20:54and you will suddenly feel very alone in this parking lot.
01:20:58Some people have said they found a piece of clothing,
01:21:01such as a shirt, on their windshield or wrapped around their windshield wipers.
01:21:06If this ever happens to you, don't fall into the trap and don't try to remove the object.
01:21:11Just get in your car and leave as quickly as possible from where you were parked.
01:21:16This so-called forgotten clothing is actually a new scam used by thieves.
01:21:21It works like this.
01:21:23If you see a piece of clothing that prevents your windshield wipers from moving
01:21:26or that obscures your view, your first reaction will be to take it off, of course.
01:21:30But while you're trying to take it off,
01:21:32the thief has all the time to jump on you or get into your car.
01:21:36The most common places for this kind of scam are still the parking lots.
01:21:40They are generally poorly lit and rather deserted,
01:21:44which means that there are few witnesses around
01:21:47and many dark corners so that the attacker can take notice.
01:21:51If one day you come home and you notice graffiti or marks on your door or your house,
01:21:56immediately call the police.
01:21:59Even if it looks like a teenager's joke or a simple scratch,
01:22:03it's better to warn than cure
01:22:05because burglars use certain marks to indicate to other criminals
01:22:09different things on your house.
01:22:11For example, something that looks like the Roman number 2
01:22:15means that the owners are rich and that the place is therefore an excellent target.
01:22:19Likewise, a barred circle indicates to other burglars
01:22:22that there is nothing precious to take from you.
01:22:25A long horizontal rectangle divided into four parts
01:22:28means that the place is guarded by a big aggressive dog.
01:22:32A triangle divided into two parts by a vertical line
01:22:35indicates to the criminal to only enter at night,
01:22:38while an inverted triangle indicates that a house or apartment is free after dinner.
01:22:43And something that looks like an A and a combined K
01:22:47tells the accomplice that the house is still full of occupants.
01:22:51A new trick is used by car thieves,
01:22:54the trick of the coin room.
01:22:56They slip it into the space between the door and the handle of the door.
01:23:00When the owner thinks he has locked the door with his key,
01:23:04the vehicle is actually still open
01:23:06because the room prevents the lock of one of the doors from working.
01:23:10As soon as the owner moves away from his vehicle,
01:23:13the thief has no problem opening the door and stealing valuables.
01:23:17When there is a public gathering, a big party,
01:23:20or even a day loaded in a shopping mall,
01:23:23a car thief can make a public announcement
01:23:26to say that a car, chosen by them of course,
01:23:29blocks his car and that he can't get out.
01:23:32As soon as the owner arrives to move his car,
01:23:35another group begins to act,
01:23:37assuming, and for a good reason,
01:23:39that the person in question has the car key on him.
01:23:43You walk along the shore.
01:23:45Everything is calm, except the peaceful clatter of the water.
01:23:48The hot sun of Georgia hits you in the neck.
01:23:51That's when you notice something strange on the ground.
01:23:54It looks like a 25-cent coin with a strange pattern.
01:23:58You lean over to take a closer look.
01:24:01Is it really a coin?
01:24:03This thing looks like an old bucket with a symbol engraved on it.
01:24:07It probably comes from a long-lost civilization.
01:24:10You could sell it and make a fortune.
01:24:13You crouch on a knee to pick up your new treasure.
01:24:16As soon as your finger touches it, you quickly remove your hand
01:24:19because you feel the fear infiltrate your guts.
01:24:22It's hairy.
01:24:24You try to pick it up again
01:24:26by pushing your nails into the ground to get it out of the ground.
01:24:29That's when it starts to move.
01:24:32Your heart pounds in your chest.
01:24:34It beats so hard that you can feel it in your head.
01:24:37Fear turns into horror
01:24:39when the piece comes out of the ground by twirling.
01:24:42It's not an ancient treasure.
01:24:44It's a huge spider.
01:24:47To be precise, it's a Cyclocosmia truncata.
01:24:50It's a piece of coin on its back.
01:24:53It's used as a shield.
01:24:55This eight-legged terror crashes into the ground
01:24:58and closes it like a lid
01:25:00so that hungry enemies can't reach it.
01:25:02Or, you know, giant and twisted humans like you.
01:25:05This spider is venomous,
01:25:07but its bite is not toxic to humans.
01:25:09Luckily for you.
01:25:11But I didn't say you wouldn't feel anything.
01:25:13You'd better not get close to these huge things.
01:25:15Ouch!
01:25:16Well, too bad for your finances.
01:25:18Maybe fortune is waiting for you
01:25:20in the Basque-California peninsula in Mexico.
01:25:22You walk on a dry ground
01:25:24when you notice a long white stripe in front of you.
01:25:27You get closer.
01:25:29It looks like a super long green, you think.
01:25:31But it doesn't move like any green you've ever seen.
01:25:35That's when you realize it has arms
01:25:38and a head.
01:25:40This pearl-shaped creature with black eyes
01:25:42is a Mexican lizard.
01:25:44It lives in the ground where its entire menu is located,
01:25:46made up of insects and termites.
01:25:48It rarely goes out,
01:25:50so you're likely to come across this weird reptile.
01:25:53Here you are in a tropical forest
01:25:55in the northeast of Australia.
01:25:57In front of you, half hidden among the trees,
01:25:59you notice something big and round.
01:26:02This mysterious silhouette lying on the ground
01:26:04is covered in black hair.
01:26:07At first, you think it's a crouched and asleep bear.
01:26:10But that wouldn't make any sense.
01:26:12There are no bears in Australia.
01:26:14You get closer and you feel a crack under your foot.
01:26:17The thing hears you and gets on its paws.
01:26:21It turns to you
01:26:23and you see now that it's a strange and beautiful bird.
01:26:26Its black hair is actually
01:26:28just a long, thin feathered mantle.
01:26:31This formidable hen has a bright blue head
01:26:33with a large horn on top.
01:26:36It rests on two solid paws
01:26:38with a claw-shaped claw on each of them,
01:26:41which can be as long as your hand.
01:26:43If you remove its feathers,
01:26:45you could confuse this beast with a velociraptor.
01:26:48But it's actually a casuaride,
01:26:50the most dangerous bird in the world.
01:26:52It could jump right over your head if it wanted to.
01:26:55It's certainly big enough
01:26:57to kick you in the chest.
01:26:59And its blows are powerful enough to break a bone,
01:27:02not to mention this claw
01:27:04that can cut anything like butter.
01:27:06This bird is programmed to hunt
01:27:08and avoid being hunted.
01:27:10Don't even think about running away
01:27:12unless you can also sprint
01:27:14at more than 50 km per hour.
01:27:16Diving in this lake over there
01:27:18won't save you either.
01:27:20This bird is an excellent swimmer.
01:27:22It's better to move back slowly
01:27:24and hope it won't chase you.
01:27:26Another creature that proves
01:27:28that it's better to keep its hands to itself
01:27:30is the panda ant.
01:27:32Its name is explicit.
01:27:34It's black, white and hairy
01:27:36like the cutest bamboo mushroom.
01:27:38This hairy bugger
01:27:40lives in the Chilean forests
01:27:42but it's not going to caress
01:27:44this cute little ant.
01:27:46What you're looking at
01:27:48is not an ant at all.
01:27:50It's a kind of wasp.
01:27:52This black and white colour
01:27:54has one purpose,
01:27:56to warn the others
01:27:58of the powerful sting of this insect.
01:28:00And if that doesn't make you move back,
01:28:02the wasp will emit a squeak.
01:28:04It seems cute to us humans,
01:28:06but the wasps are lonely,
01:28:08they don't live in colonies
01:28:10and they don't have nests.
01:28:12They're also parasites.
01:28:14A female panda ant lays eggs
01:28:16next to larvae of another insect.
01:28:18Then, the baby wasps
01:28:20use these larvae as food.
01:28:22You've probably seen insects
01:28:24that look like leaves and twigs.
01:28:26But what about a creature
01:28:28that looks like a beautiful orchid?
01:28:30You can find this fragrant flower
01:28:32in the forest or in a field
01:28:34and it's a flower that you prepare to smell.
01:28:36Because if you don't,
01:28:38you might be bitten by a religious moth.
01:28:40The orchid's moth
01:28:42is almost impossible to distinguish from the flowers.
01:28:44It's white and pink,
01:28:46with legs and claws
01:28:48that look like little petals.
01:28:50It uses its resemblance to the plant
01:28:52to hide from predators
01:28:54and hunt insects that love them.
01:28:56So, if a butterfly or a bee
01:28:58flies up to the flower,
01:29:00suddenly, pop, one of its petals
01:29:02turns into a flower.
01:29:04The innocent insect
01:29:06might think it's just a gust of wind.
01:29:08But then, the pretty petal 2
01:29:10turns into a clenched claw
01:29:12that suddenly grabs the insect.
01:29:14Now, imagine you're in the Costa Rica jungle.
01:29:16You notice a brown snake
01:29:18sitting on a tree branch
01:29:20in front of your face.
01:29:22The snake seems about to attack you.
01:29:24You want to run as far as you can,
01:29:26but you notice that this snake
01:29:28is unusually short
01:29:30and attacks you.
01:29:32You wait, but the snake continues to attack you.
01:29:34It doesn't even whistle.
01:29:36Fortunately for you,
01:29:38it will never bite you,
01:29:40because it's not a snake, but a caterpillar.
01:29:42The sphinx caterpillar
01:29:44can change the shape of its body
01:29:46to look like a menacing snake.
01:29:48This allows it to easily scare
01:29:50its hungry enemies.
01:29:52The colors and patterns of its skin
01:29:54imitate the scales and eyes of a snake.
01:29:56This insect can also move like a reptile.
01:29:58It's the master of disguise.
01:30:00Let's get out of the hot jungle
01:30:02and go to Central Europe.
01:30:04You are now in the middle of a green and sunny meadow.
01:30:06Many colorful flowers are blooming,
01:30:08birds are singing,
01:30:10and bees are buzzing.
01:30:12Among these bees,
01:30:14there are a few that are not what they seem to be.
01:30:16It will be difficult for you to distinguish the impostors,
01:30:18but if you look really closely,
01:30:20you will see the big golden bumblebee
01:30:22moving in the air.
01:30:24It looks like a burdon,
01:30:26but in fact,
01:30:28it is the biggest enemy of the burdon.
01:30:30The golden bumblebee
01:30:32sneaks into the nests of bees
01:30:34and lays eggs there.
01:30:36Its larvae hatch and feed on bees
01:30:38and flower nectar.
01:30:40Its yellow and black color
01:30:42allows the intruder to pass completely unnoticed.
01:30:44Camouflage also protects it from its enemies.
01:30:46If it thinks it's going to get stung by a burdon,
01:30:48nothing can ever touch this insect.
01:30:50The next stop on your trip
01:30:52is the tropical forest
01:30:54in the south of Thailand.
01:30:56Be very careful,
01:30:58and pay attention to what you do.
01:31:00Not because the next animal is venomous
01:31:02or dead,
01:31:04but because you risk accidentally walking on it.
01:31:06The leaves of the trees have fallen
01:31:08and taken on a grayish-brown hue.
01:31:10Among these leaves,
01:31:12it is difficult to distinguish the horned frog of Malaysia.
01:31:14The shape of its body,
01:31:16its color,
01:31:18and especially the pointy growths
01:31:20that come out above its eyes
01:31:22are among the dead leaves.
01:31:24This frog can sit for hours
01:31:26in the same place
01:31:28waiting for its next meal to be close enough
01:31:30to be able to swallow it.
01:31:32Now you are in a garden.
01:31:34You see a beautiful luminous flower
01:31:36and a small bird flying near it.
01:31:38The bird flaps its wings so quickly
01:31:40that you can barely see them.
01:31:42And this long beak in the shape of a needle
01:31:44makes you immediately think
01:31:46that you are looking at a hummingbird.
01:31:48But as soon as you approach,
01:31:50you realize that it is not a hummingbird,
01:31:52but an insect.
01:31:54Fortunately, the hummingbird
01:31:56is not venomous and does not sting.
01:31:58It is just a charming little creature
01:32:00who decorates the garden with its presence.
01:32:02Many people even grow plants rich in nectar
01:32:04to attract these night butterflies.
01:32:06Hey, here's a good idea!
01:32:08The Baltic Sea Anomaly
01:32:10In 2011,
01:32:12a team of divers
01:32:14went all the way down to the Baltic Sea,
01:32:16to the north.
01:32:18They discovered a rather strange object.
01:32:20They took pictures
01:32:22that they then shared,
01:32:24and some people thought
01:32:26it was a spaceship
01:32:28of an unknown civilization.
01:32:30Others thought
01:32:32that a natural phenomenon
01:32:34had given shape to this object.
01:32:36But the metals inside the structure
01:32:38could not have been formed naturally.
01:32:40Today, some scientists think
01:32:42it is an object dating from the Ice Age.
01:32:44Maybe even a meteorite
01:32:46from that time.
01:32:48A maelstrom is a whirlwind,
01:32:50a kind of powerful rotating current
01:32:52that forms when two currents meet,
01:32:54creating a circular vortex.
01:32:56Even the intrepid Vikings
01:32:58were afraid of maelstroms.
01:33:00Their power was such
01:33:02that they could make very large ships sink.
01:33:04These whirlwinds
01:33:06are still dangerous today.
01:33:08But fortunately,
01:33:10the great modern ships are no longer afraid of much.
01:33:12They are now able to resist this power.
01:33:14However,
01:33:16a ship that crosses the path of a maelstrom
01:33:18will generally be exposed
01:33:20to such massive waves
01:33:22that it will be violently shaken.
01:33:24The strength of some maelstroms
01:33:26is so formidable
01:33:28that they are sometimes compared to black holes.
01:33:30And no, black holes
01:33:32do not only belong to the interstellar space.
01:33:34They are found right here,
01:33:36on our planet,
01:33:38in the form of oceanic whirlwinds.
01:33:40What brings them closer to these celestial monsters
01:33:42is the fact that nothing they capture
01:33:44can escape them.
01:33:46These underwater black holes
01:33:48can reach up to 150 km in diameter.
01:33:50If you were caught in one of them,
01:33:52you would probably not even realize it.
01:33:54Their influence extends far beyond
01:33:56what can be detected.
01:33:58Because of their size,
01:34:00they even escape the most modern equipment.
01:34:02Here is something more relaxing.
01:34:04The next time you go to the beach,
01:34:06open your eyes wide
01:34:08and you may see this optical phenomenon
01:34:10called the green flash.
01:34:12You can see it a little after sunset
01:34:14or just before sunrise.
01:34:16It occurs when the sun
01:34:18is almost completely below the horizon,
01:34:20but its upper edge is still visible.
01:34:24For one or two seconds,
01:34:26the solar crown will seem green to you.
01:34:28Because in reality,
01:34:30you will observe the sun
01:34:32through the thickest parts of the atmosphere,
01:34:34at the bottom of the sky.
01:34:36As it descends below the horizon,
01:34:38the sun reflects in the atmosphere
01:34:40where it curves and disperses.
01:34:42Choose a clear day,
01:34:44without clouds or mist on the horizon,
01:34:46and you will be able to observe this phenomenon.
01:34:48You were impatient to swim,
01:34:50but when you arrive at the beach,
01:34:52you see that the ocean is red.
01:34:54It is better to avoid making trumpets.
01:34:56Florida is famous
01:34:58for its red tides.
01:35:00This occurs when the concentration
01:35:02of the Karenia brevis algae
01:35:04is higher than normal.
01:35:06Most of the algae in the sea,
01:35:08rivers and lakes are safe
01:35:10for animals and humans.
01:35:12They even help us.
01:35:14They are a great source of oxygen.
01:35:16But some, like those that give
01:35:18this red tint to the ocean,
01:35:20can be extremely dangerous
01:35:22for aquatic fauna, sea turtles,
01:35:24fish and marine birds.
01:35:26This type of algae can develop
01:35:28in an uncontrolled way
01:35:30and produce very harmful neurotoxins
01:35:32for humans, especially for those
01:35:34who live on the shore.
01:35:36These people must avoid
01:35:38areas of red tides,
01:35:40especially when strong winds
01:35:42push the algae to the shore.
01:35:44Volcanoes can emit toxic gases,
01:35:46ashes and a reddish lava.
01:35:48These dangers have been well known
01:35:50to humans for centuries.
01:35:52But underwater volcanoes
01:35:54can also be dangerous.
01:35:56Sometimes, those located
01:35:58in shallow waters
01:36:00reveal their presence
01:36:02above the surface.
01:36:04Because of the presence of water,
01:36:06their effects will be different
01:36:08from those found on land.
01:36:10When they erupt,
01:36:12sea water can penetrate
01:36:14their events.
01:36:16The lava can spread
01:36:18on the ocean floor,
01:36:20sometimes even spilling
01:36:22from land volcanoes.
01:36:24When it enters the water,
01:36:26it cools down so quickly
01:36:28that it can become
01:36:30very dangerous.
01:36:32Have you ever seen
01:36:34these strange black sand beaches
01:36:36in Hawaii?
01:36:38Lava and powerful eruptions
01:36:40represent an obvious danger.
01:36:42But underwater volcanoes
01:36:44in deep waters are just as dangerous.
01:36:46Even when they don't erupt,
01:36:48they produce air pockets.
01:36:50These bubbles reduce
01:36:52the density of the surrounding waters,
01:36:54which can even cause shipwrecks.
01:36:56The worst is that when you look
01:36:58at the surface of the ocean,
01:37:00you won't know that a danger is waiting for you.
01:37:02You won't see these air pockets
01:37:04that can even unbalance
01:37:06very large ships.
01:37:08And without warning.
01:37:10Cross-sea is a rare phenomenon,
01:37:12beautiful to observe,
01:37:14but also very dangerous.
01:37:16It's when you see square waves.
01:37:18They are quite common
01:37:20in shallow areas of the ocean.
01:37:22You can observe this phenomenon
01:37:24near the island of Re
01:37:26but also in many other areas
01:37:28of the world.
01:37:30This happens when two waves
01:37:32propagate in two different directions
01:37:34and cross each other.
01:37:36They then form a pattern.
01:37:38This usually happens after
01:37:40an atmospheric front.
01:37:42And this state of the sea
01:37:44is structured in a large number
01:37:46of directional flows.
01:37:48These waves can be dangerous
01:37:50for swimmers and divers.
01:37:52The waves produced by strong ocean currents
01:37:54are very visible
01:37:56and measured up to 3 meters high.
01:37:58They are sometimes called
01:38:00white walls.
01:38:02Their power is such
01:38:04that they can make large ships sink.
01:38:06If you fill a glass with seawater
01:38:08and look at it carefully,
01:38:10you will see quantities
01:38:12of very small particles.
01:38:14Seawater contains dissolved salts,
01:38:16fats, algae,
01:38:18proteins and other debris
01:38:20of artificial and organic matter.
01:38:22If you shake this glass,
01:38:24tiny bubbles will appear
01:38:26on its surface.
01:38:28This is how seawater forms,
01:38:30when waves and winds
01:38:32shake the ocean.
01:38:34When seawater is thick,
01:38:36it can be due to a large concentration
01:38:38of algae.
01:38:40When algae disintegrate
01:38:42in the sea,
01:38:44their matter often drifts
01:38:46to the shores.
01:38:48In general, seawater
01:38:50is not safe for our environment.
01:38:52It can happen that air pockets
01:38:54burst and release toxins
01:38:56they contain.
01:38:58This can cause irritation
01:39:00to the eyes and other health problems.
01:39:02Square masses occur
01:39:04in the mouth
01:39:06and the lower part of some streams.
01:39:08A strong tide meets the current
01:39:10and pushes the river back.
01:39:12Square masses
01:39:14are part of the category
01:39:16of hydraulic springs,
01:39:18a positive push
01:39:20which means that the wave
01:39:22pushes the river back,
01:39:24making its mass much larger.
01:39:26A negative tide
01:39:28is when the river suddenly
01:39:30becomes shallow.
01:39:32You won't see square masses everywhere.
01:39:34The river must be shallow
01:39:36and its mouth must be narrow.
01:39:38The area where the sea meets the river
01:39:40must be flat and wide.
01:39:42In addition, the area between
01:39:44the low tide and the high tide
01:39:46must be large.
01:39:48Of course, there are some exceptions,
01:39:50such as the Amazon,
01:39:52the largest river in the world.
01:39:54The mouth of the Amazon
01:39:56is not narrow,
01:39:58but it still produces square masses.
01:40:00This is because its mouth
01:40:02is shallow and has many banks
01:40:04of sand and other low islands.
01:40:06This square mass is the reason
01:40:08why the Amazon does not
01:40:10have a real delta.
01:40:12The Atlantic Ocean quickly
01:40:14The square masses are often
01:40:16unpredictable and can be
01:40:18extremely violent.
01:40:20Sometimes, the water of the river
01:40:22goes from a greenish or blue
01:40:24to a brownish color.
01:40:26They can damage the vegetation
01:40:28and even tear down trees.
01:40:30So leisure sports such as
01:40:32kayaking and surfing
01:40:34can be dangerous in these areas.
01:40:36But if you just want to observe
01:40:38a square mass a little closer,
01:40:40be careful.
01:40:43You are playing with your dog
01:40:45when suddenly you see
01:40:47something falling from the sky.
01:40:49It is a luminous object
01:40:51with a long tail behind it.
01:40:53It goes down at an alarming speed,
01:40:55getting closer and closer.
01:40:57You try to catch your dog
01:40:59to take him inside,
01:41:01but he runs around
01:41:03barking and growling.
01:41:05Then you look up and you notice
01:41:07that the shining UFO
01:41:09looks more and more like a ball
01:41:11than an animal.
01:41:13But this time, he thinks
01:41:15that you are playing with him
01:41:17and runs away.
01:41:19You chase him by forcing him
01:41:21to go inside the house.
01:41:23It was less than one.
01:41:25The object in the sky
01:41:27shines so brightly
01:41:29that you can't even look at it anymore.
01:41:31And then, boom!
01:41:33It's as if a small piece of the sun
01:41:35had just crashed
01:41:37right behind your house.
01:41:39You turn around
01:41:41and go to the backyard
01:41:43where everyone is gathered.
01:41:45You go to the object
01:41:47and you can already feel
01:41:49the heat it releases.
01:41:51It looks like an ordinary stone
01:41:53the size of a fist
01:41:55placed in a hole in the ground.
01:41:57You observe it from all angles.
01:41:59You read somewhere
01:42:01that you shouldn't pick up
01:42:03a meteorite if it landed
01:42:05one day in your garden.
01:42:07You turn around
01:42:09and you see someone
01:42:11touching it already
01:42:13and you take selfies.
01:42:15You hurry,
01:42:17you take the rock
01:42:19from the neighbor's hands
01:42:21and you place it
01:42:23in a bag to protect it
01:42:25from the humidity
01:42:27or from anything
01:42:29that could potentially
01:42:31damage it in the atmosphere.
01:42:33You also wrapped it
01:42:35in a plastic bag
01:42:37to protect it
01:42:39from the heat.
01:42:41If you touch it
01:42:43with bare hands,
01:42:45you risk contaminating
01:42:47the meteorite
01:42:49with your skin's oils
01:42:51and microbes
01:42:53that could damage
01:42:55its surface.
01:42:57Everything that falls
01:42:59from space is not a toy
01:43:01so you take it
01:43:03and all the lights
01:43:05go out.
01:43:07Great!
01:43:09When the storm is over,
01:43:11you grab your toolbox
01:43:13and you go out
01:43:15to fix the electricity.
01:43:17What a nice way
01:43:19to spend a Sunday!
01:43:21You go to the stream
01:43:23but a big puddle
01:43:25on your lawn
01:43:27blocks your way.
01:43:29It doesn't matter,
01:43:31it's a good place
01:43:33to clean the puddle.
01:43:35Even if it looks cool
01:43:37to have a mini-lake
01:43:39in your garden,
01:43:41it could be a good place
01:43:43for mosquitos
01:43:45and other pests.
01:43:47You wouldn't want
01:43:49a swarm of bloodthirsty
01:43:51bloodsuckers
01:43:53to wake you up
01:43:55every night
01:43:57and leave you
01:43:59next to the power station,
01:44:01which could lead to a disaster.
01:44:03So after a long day
01:44:05of work,
01:44:07you manage to fix
01:44:09your puddle.
01:44:11You fix the electricity
01:44:13and you can enjoy
01:44:15the rest of the day
01:44:17with your dog.
01:44:19You're eating
01:44:21delicious hamburgers
01:44:23in your garden.
01:44:25You take a bite
01:44:27and you see a big puddle
01:44:29around your breakfast.
01:44:31You get up and go into
01:44:33total panic mode
01:44:35by throwing your hamburger
01:44:37and running inside your house.
01:44:39You close the door
01:44:41and hold your dog in your arms.
01:44:43Yes, you may have reacted
01:44:45in an excessive way,
01:44:47but you look at your freshly
01:44:49grilled steaks
01:44:51on the table
01:44:53and you see another puddle
01:44:55around your house.
01:44:57You take a look around
01:44:59and you see a gap
01:45:01between the barbecue
01:45:03and an area near the roof.
01:45:05She turns on the roof
01:45:07and two other gaps appear.
01:45:09Oh yes, there is a gap up there.
01:45:11You grab a ladder
01:45:13and you go up to see
01:45:15a small hole in your roof
01:45:17where the gaps
01:45:19have built their little house.
01:45:21It's a good thing
01:45:23that you don't see
01:45:25your dog's face
01:45:27behind the cupboards
01:45:29of their kitchen.
01:45:31Your dog walks around
01:45:33and tries to bite
01:45:35into one of the steaks.
01:45:37The geese around
01:45:39seem to be intimidated
01:45:41and fly around your dog
01:45:43to give him a good warning.
01:45:45But luckily,
01:45:47you jump to your rescue,
01:45:49tear your dog
01:45:51to shreds.
01:45:53The geese are still
01:45:55beneficial to us
01:45:57because they keep
01:45:59the insect population
01:46:01under control
01:46:03and they resist
01:46:05their environment
01:46:07better than other creatures.
01:46:09That's why farmers
01:46:11even deploy them
01:46:13on their crops.
01:46:15At this stage,
01:46:17the geese have taken
01:46:19the opportunity
01:46:21to move the nest
01:46:23to another place
01:46:25because it's very risky
01:46:27to do it alone.
01:46:29But at least you can
01:46:31make another barbecue
01:46:33without any geese
01:46:35bothering you.
01:46:37Again, a beautiful afternoon
01:46:39in the garden
01:46:41to play with your dog.
01:46:43But this time,
01:46:45he seems to be distracted
01:46:47by cute puppies
01:46:49crying and barking.
01:46:51Surprised,
01:46:53you look closer
01:46:55and you notice
01:46:57that they don't look like
01:46:59ordinary dogs.
01:47:01They have a kind of orange
01:47:03color in their fur
01:47:05and pointy ears.
01:47:07Congratulations,
01:47:09you just found
01:47:11a little flock of foxes
01:47:13in your garden.
01:47:15Foxes live in urban areas
01:47:17especially places built
01:47:19in existing fox habitats.
01:47:21But you are surprised
01:47:23to have discovered one
01:47:25just behind your house.
01:47:27You count seven water foxes
01:47:29in the area
01:47:31who all look healthy
01:47:33and in good shape.
01:47:35Many of them are playful
01:47:37and friendly.
01:47:39Some are shy
01:47:41and hide.
01:47:43But they are not
01:47:45a threat
01:47:47and it would not be very pleasant
01:47:49to see.
01:47:51Foxes eat almost everything
01:47:53and would not hesitate
01:47:55to search in the trash
01:47:57to find leftovers of food.
01:47:59You take your dog
01:48:01inside again
01:48:03and you try to find
01:48:05another activity.
01:48:07Moving cute little water foxes
01:48:09can seem to be
01:48:11very dangerous.
01:48:13They are vulnerable
01:48:15to all kinds of
01:48:17worms.
01:48:19So you grab your phone
01:48:21and call the SPA
01:48:23to report the fox's den.
01:48:25Once there,
01:48:27they finally take care
01:48:29of this problem.
01:48:31It looks like
01:48:33a lot of things
01:48:35are happening
01:48:37in your garden.
01:48:41Well, it's a rainy Thursday
01:48:43and you are warm in your armchair
01:48:45with a cup of hot chocolate
01:48:47and a new nice video.
01:48:49Suddenly, you see a scary shadow
01:48:51above you.
01:48:53There is a monster on the wall
01:48:55with 100 legs and antennas on his head.
01:48:57You start to compose 112
01:48:59and call your mother at the same time.
01:49:01But while you are on the phone,
01:49:03your guest moves at lightning speed.
01:49:05Two seconds and you do not see him anymore.
01:49:07You take a broom
01:49:09and hide it in your closet.
01:49:11With your trembling hands,
01:49:13you open the browser and type
01:49:15scary beast in my house.
01:49:17You scroll through the pages
01:49:19before finally finding the right one.
01:49:211000 legs of house.
01:49:23It turns out that he has 15 pairs of legs,
01:49:25two well-developed eyes
01:49:27and two long, very sensitive antennas
01:49:29that he uses to detect smells and vibrations.
01:49:31He carries venom in the legs
01:49:33located near the head and mouth
01:49:35and he can hold more than one prey
01:49:37All this makes your guest
01:49:39an excellent hunter.
01:49:41Overall, all the web pages
01:49:43you look at tell you to leave the beast alone
01:49:45and to rejoice that it is at home.
01:49:47Many people try to get rid of it
01:49:49but the 1000 legs of house
01:49:51are a natural and free way
01:49:53to fight parasites in your house.
01:49:55They will help you get rid of insects,
01:49:57flies, ants,
01:49:59mites, spiders, termites
01:50:01and even cockroaches.
01:50:03As for you, as a human,
01:50:05you are simply not part of their menu.
01:50:07They are active nocturnal hunters
01:50:09and they leave no canvas
01:50:11or anything else anywhere.
01:50:13They do not build nests in houses
01:50:15and do not scratch your furniture,
01:50:17your clothes, your food or your pets.
01:50:19They move without making noise
01:50:21and without leaving traces of dirt behind them.
01:50:23The 1000 legs of house
01:50:25are not carriers of any disease
01:50:27and in 99% of cases
01:50:29they go out at night when you do not see them.
01:50:31They constantly move in search of prey.
01:50:33As they move quickly
01:50:35it is possible that you do not see them at all.
01:50:37They will only try to bite
01:50:39if you attack them first
01:50:41and even in this case
01:50:43they cannot bite through the skin.
01:50:45Their bite looks like a small bee sting,
01:50:47nothing too strong.
01:50:49It does not seem so horrible
01:50:51and you are almost ready to get out of your hideout.
01:50:53Ah, you scream like a little girl,
01:50:55he's still there.
01:50:57Quick, you still do not feel comfortable
01:50:59sharing your house with this creature with several legs.
01:51:01You take a cup and a piece of paper,
01:51:03it runs through the room,
01:51:05it is under the shelf,
01:51:07waiting for it to come out to catch it.
01:51:09You turn off the lights so that it feels more comfortable.
01:51:11It does not move anymore and it's done.
01:51:13You take it outside
01:51:15hoping that it will still do its job
01:51:17of fighting parasites.
01:51:19You decide to protect your house
01:51:21against other unwanted odds.
01:51:23So the 1000 legs of house love humidity
01:51:25and especially love to hang out in the bathroom and the basement.
01:51:27You go down the stairs
01:51:29and you plug all the cracks in the floor and the walls.
01:51:31You check the waterproofing of all the pipes
01:51:33in the bathroom and kitchen.
01:51:35Perfect, it is now time to go outside
01:51:37and remove the leaves and branches.
01:51:39The 1000 legs love to hide underneath.
01:51:41You worked hard tonight.
01:51:43You decide to watch TV.
01:51:45Ouch, what a monster!
01:51:47It's a Goliath spider,
01:51:49the largest spider in the world.
01:51:51And just like the 1000 legs,
01:51:53it looks much more frightening
01:51:55than it really is.
01:51:57The Goliath spider includes insects,
01:51:59frogs and rodents.
01:52:01It lives in North America.
01:52:03Despite its enormous size,
01:52:05it cannot hurt a human with its venom,
01:52:07no more than a bee sting.
01:52:09The next guest on the show is the whale shark.
01:52:11It is obviously not an insect.
01:52:13It is the largest shark and fish in the world.
01:52:15It is a little bigger than a two-story bus
01:52:17and as heavy as five elephants.
01:52:19It has 300 small teeth in its mouth
01:52:21and uses them to eat plankton
01:52:23and sometimes fish.
01:52:25The whale shark swims slowly
01:52:27and is the nicest of all sharks.
01:52:29It even plays with divers.
01:52:31In fact, humans are more dangerous
01:52:33to them than they are to humans.
01:52:35Despite its enormous size,
01:52:37the African giant 1000 legs
01:52:39is a shy guy who prefers to hide
01:52:41under the rocks all day.
01:52:43The only thing he can attack
01:52:45are the dry leaves on the ground.
01:52:47So he plays his role for the environment.
01:52:49The Australian horned devils
01:52:51are lizards with scary spikes
01:52:53all over their bodies.
01:52:55They move in the bushes and deserts
01:52:57in search of ants.
01:52:59It's their only meal
01:53:01and they can eat thousands of little ants a day.
01:53:03They catch them with their stinging tongue.
01:53:05They use their spikes to protect themselves
01:53:07from predators and never attack
01:53:09a human.
01:53:11Their superpower is to change color
01:53:13depending on the temperature.
01:53:15Centurio cenex live in Central America
01:53:17and South America.
01:53:19These bats only eat fruit
01:53:21and the shape of their face and skin
01:53:23help them catch them.
01:53:25They have terrible manners at the table
01:53:27and put their face in their meal.
01:53:29All these rides allow the fruit juice
01:53:31to flow directly into the mouth.
01:53:33Oh, what a good idea!
01:53:35I should try that too.
01:53:37The aye-aye are Lemurians
01:53:39who live in Madagascar.
01:53:41An old local superstition says
01:53:43that meeting one of them is really bad luck.
01:53:45In fact, they are harmless creatures
01:53:47that feed on insects and larvae.
01:53:49They quickly attack tree trunks
01:53:51to find food
01:53:53and take it out with their middle finger.
01:53:55Aye-aye prefer to stay on trees
01:53:57and barely land on the ground
01:53:59so that it is unlikely
01:54:01that you will see one anyway.
01:54:03If you ever go to Nepal or India
01:54:05and you come across a crocodile
01:54:07with a long and narrow nose,
01:54:09don't panic, it's a guava.
01:54:11Crocodiles are their closest relatives
01:54:13but guavas are not really.
01:54:15They are a unique species.
01:54:17Their strange nose
01:54:19is perfectly adapted to catch fish.
01:54:21It's their favorite food.
01:54:23These animals are loving and caring parents
01:54:25and are super shy creatures.
01:54:27They hide from humans
01:54:29and never attack them.
01:54:31The eastern milk snakes
01:54:33look a lot like the coral snakes
01:54:35but unlike this very venomous creature,
01:54:37they are totally harmless.
01:54:39Nature gave them
01:54:41bright colored rings
01:54:43to deceive potential predators
01:54:45into thinking they were coral snakes.
01:54:47Thanks to this mimicry,
01:54:49they survive in different places
01:54:51from rocky plains to agricultural areas
01:54:53and ranches.
01:54:55Some people even have milk snakes
01:54:57as pets.
01:54:59Ok, but you better check the patterns
01:55:01of the colors first.
01:55:03The Matamata turtles are super lazy.
01:55:05They don't even swim
01:55:07but walk in streams and swamps
01:55:09where the water flow is very low.
01:55:11They only come out of the water
01:55:13The Matamata turtles don't hunt
01:55:15but wait for their food to pass.
01:55:17When they see a fish,
01:55:19they stretch their neck
01:55:21and swallow it like a vacuum cleaner.
01:55:23They have to do it because
01:55:25their jaws can't even chew.
01:55:27Virginie's diachrysis
01:55:29is as afraid of you as you are of her
01:55:31and tries to avoid contact at all costs.
01:55:33Their favorite food are leaves,
01:55:35boulders, soil, herbs, nuts,
01:55:37cabbage, etc.
01:55:39They chew the fleshy parts
01:55:41If you really bother them,
01:55:43they will try to protect themselves.
01:55:45But the worst mark they can inflict
01:55:47is a slight irritation of the skin.
01:55:49If you really bother them,
01:55:51they will use a nunchaku.
01:55:53But no, I'm kidding.
01:55:55Turtles have a sharp beak
01:55:57and gills
01:55:59and a reputation of villains.
01:56:01But in fact, they will never hurt a living being.
01:56:03Their culinary preferences
01:56:05are based on animal carcasses.
01:56:07In this way, they make the world
01:56:09cleaner and healthier
01:56:11by controlling corpses.
01:56:13Unlike most birds
01:56:15with a 360-degree view,
01:56:17turtles only focus on what happens
01:56:19below them with their 60-degree view.
01:56:21Giant isopods
01:56:23are relatives of shrimp and crabs
01:56:25that live in the depths of the sea.
01:56:27Their body looks like that of an alien
01:56:29with dozens of sharp claws
01:56:31on the belly
01:56:33and four jaws to hunt.
01:56:35But they don't always have food around them.
01:56:37That's why they slow down their metabolism
01:56:39to save energy
01:56:41and live constantly in semi-hibernation.
01:56:43When they are in danger,
01:56:45giant isopods crawl
01:56:47into a small ball
01:56:49and hide so that no one can find them.
01:56:51The star-shaped condylus
01:56:53is the size of a hamster
01:56:55and is the fastest eater in the world.
01:56:57It presses this frightening star on the ground
01:56:59to discover what is in 10 to 12 different places
01:57:01in a second.
01:57:03The star contains 100,000 nerve fibers
01:57:05that send information
01:57:07to the brain of the star.
01:57:09Not a bad way to compensate
01:57:11for their almost non-existent view.
01:57:13It is used to hunt insects easily
01:57:15while being perfectly harmless to humans.
01:57:17Amphibians, unlike their
01:57:19congener scorpions,
01:57:21do not carry venom or toxins
01:57:23and cannot bite, sting
01:57:25or injure humans in any way.
01:57:27They can't even chew,
01:57:29so they sit and wait for an insect
01:57:31to pass by that they detect with their paws.
01:57:33They make excellent pets
01:57:35and their owners can put them
01:57:37on their faces without fear.
01:57:39Uh ...
01:57:41Okay, you go first,
01:57:43I'll ... watch from here.
