Animal Lies That You Actually Believe - Part 1 — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00You may know that dogs are playful
2. 0:01animals. And when a dog wags its tail,
3. 0:04it's really happy. Well, that's a lie. A
4. 0:08dog can wag its tail for many reasons.
5. 0:10It can wag it when it's anxious, afraid,
6. 0:12or even when it's angry. Yep. Don't fall
7. 0:15for the trap. Even a tail wagging dog
8. 0:18can bite you. We know that sugar is
9. 0:20toxic to dogs, but what we don't know is
10. 0:23that it's a lie. Too much sugar can be
11. 0:25unhealthy for dogs, but it's not toxic.
12. 0:28But these foods can be lethal for dogs.
13. 0:31So don't feed these things to your dogs.
14. 0:34People believe that dogs see black and
15. 0:36white. That's a lie. They can see yellow
16. 0:38and blue. But not being able to see
17. 0:41green and red is kind of like black and
18. 0:42white, though. The biggest lie about
19. 0:44dogs is that they sweat through their
20. 0:46tongues. Dogs do keep their tongues out,
21. 0:48but it's to cool down their body. They
22. 0:50actually sweat from their paws and nose.
23. 0:54Though sweaty, those nose can smell
24. 0:56their owners from a distance of over 10
25. 0:58miles.
26. 0:59Talking about smell, word around the
27. 1:02town is that sharks can smell a drop of
28. 1:04blood from miles away. Well, that's a
29. 1:06lie. They can smell blood, but just
30. 1:08within around 200 m, and even that's a
31. 1:12super slow process. If a fish bleeds 100
32. 1:15m away, the smell may take several
33. 1:17minutes to reach the shark's nose.
34. 1:19People also believe that if you get cut
35. 1:21underwater, sharks will follow your
36. 1:23blood scent and attack you. That's a
37. 1:25lie, too. Sharks can identify if it's
38. 1:28fish blood or others. Since they don't
39. 1:30eat humans, they will just ignore that
40. 1:32blood trail and move away. If you have
41. 1:35heard that sharks don't get cancer,
42. 1:36you've heard a lie. There's some rumor
43. 1:39that shark cartilage is used to treat
44. 1:41cancer. So, people believe they must be
45. 1:43cancer proof. There's no record of shark
46. 1:45cartilage curing human cancer, and
47. 1:47sharks do get cancer. But these naked
48. 1:50guys don't get cancer. Naked mole rats
49. 1:53are almost cancer proof in their wild
50. 1:55habitats. But some in captivity do get
51. 1:58cancer, though. That may be due to a
52. 2:00weakened immune system because of
53. 2:01captivity. There's also a belief that
54. 2:04naked mole rats don't feel any pain.
55. 2:06Well, that's a lie. You can casually say
56. 2:09they don't feel any pain in a fun way or
57. 2:11as a joke. But the truth is, their
58. 2:14nervous system neglects burning pain
59. 2:16from acids and chili peppers. Since they
60. 2:18don't eat chili peppers, that's a
61. 2:20useless immunity, I guess. But they do
62. 2:22feel pain from cuts, wounds, or any
63. 2:25other physical pain. Just think, if an
64. 2:28animal species doesn't feel any pain,
65. 2:30it's sure to go extinct in no time. This
66. 2:33guy is a lion. They have a majestic
67. 2:35looking mane, so it seems fair to call
68. 2:37them kings of the jungle. But the thing
69. 2:39is, they don't actually live in the
70. 2:42jungle. They live in grasslands of
71. 2:44savannah with very few trees or in the
72. 2:46deserts. You may know that lions are
73. 2:48expert hunters and can easily take down
74. 2:51a buffalo. Well, it's a lie. A single
75. 2:54lion can't take down a mature buffalo.
76. 2:56Also, most of the time, it's the group
77. 2:58of lionesses that do the hunting. Lions
78. 3:01usually chill at home and wait for the
79. 3:04food. And they say a group of lions is
80. 3:06called pride. What a shame. I would
81. 3:09rather choose tigers as the kings of the
82. 3:11jungle. And talking about tigers, if you
83. 3:14remember this intro from MGM,
84. 3:17yeah, that roar is a lie. This is
85. 3:20actually the sound of a tiger.
86. 3:24And talking about sound, if you remember
87. 3:26this sound from movies,
88. 3:28well, that sound is a lie. Bald eagle is
89. 3:32the national bird of America. Those
90. 3:34fierce eyes, majestic wings, and perfect
91. 3:37dives. But when it opened its mouth,
92. 3:41yeah, this that's not the sound of
93. 3:44freedom and dominance. We Americans
94. 3:46being Americans couldn't accept that
95. 3:48pathetic squeak. So, Hollywood silently
96. 3:51changed it to this sound.
97. 3:54This is actually the sound of a
98. 3:55redtailed hawk.
99. 3:58If you have heard eagles carry small
100. 3:59children, that's a lie. Eagles can't
101. 4:02carry more than a few pounds. Bald
102. 4:04eagles are not bald. They just have
103. 4:06white hair. And if you have heard that
104. 4:09eagles push their kids from the cliffs
105. 4:11to force them to fly, that's a lie, too.
106. 4:14In fact, parents encourage kids to fly,
107. 4:17and the mother stays close to catch the
108. 4:19kid if it starts to fall.
109. 4:21This guy is a snake, and people believe
110. 4:23these legless animals are smooth and
111. 4:25slippery. Well, that's a lie. Snake's
112. 4:29skin has a very dry texture and usually
113. 4:31is rough to the touch. People believe
114. 4:33that small snakes are more dangerous
115. 4:35than adult ones. Since they can't
116. 4:37control the amount of venom, they will
117. 4:39deliver a high dose. That's also a lie.
118. 4:42Small ones have a very low amount of
119. 4:44venom and they can actually control the
120. 4:46venom flow. So, adults are more
121. 4:48dangerous. Many people believe that the
122. 4:51rattlesnake's tail is like a moraca.
123. 4:53Well, it has nothing inside and it looks
124. 4:55like this. These loosely stacked parts
125. 4:58make that sound.
126. 5:00If you think a snake is aggressive and
127. 5:02will chase you and bite you, that's not
128. 5:04true. Snakes are shy by nature and try
129. 5:07to flee away from humans. Why would a
130. 5:09few pound snake want to fight a 150lb
131. 5:12human? The biting is the last resort if
132. 5:15it sees no other option. If it chases
133. 5:17you, it's likely confused. It's just
134. 5:20running away from you without realizing
135. 5:22that you're actually running in the
136. 5:23front. Snakes don't have hypnotizing
137. 5:26eyes. Cartoons created that myth. Snakes
138. 5:30don't drink milk. In fact, they can't
139. 5:32even digest it. This is a bat and they
140. 5:35rest hanging upside down. But if you
141. 5:38believe that all bats hang upside down,
142. 5:40that's a lie. There are six known bat
143. 5:42species that actually rest in upright
144. 5:44position. Yep, they have suctiontype
145. 5:47cups and rest inside funnel type leaves.
146. 5:51You can see the real footage here.
147. 5:53Many people believe that bats are blind
148. 5:56since they have super echolocations and
149. 5:58usually fly at night. People believe
150. 6:01that they must be blind. Some bats do
151. 6:03have poor vision, but most of them have
152. 6:05excellent eyesight. And many can even
153. 6:08see UV light. So the idiom as blind as
154. 6:12bat is a lie. I've already told you much
155. 6:15about camels. Most of the people believe
156. 6:18that camels are found only in desert or
157. 6:20hot places and that's a lie. Bactrian
158. 6:23camels are found in snowy areas. Many
159. 6:26people believe that camels store water
160. 6:28in their humps. I was even told that if
161. 6:30people get thirsty, they will cut the
162. 6:32hump of the camel and drink that water.
163. 6:35Well, that's a lie. Camels actually
164. 6:37store fat in their humps. That fat can
165. 6:40be used as energy later. But they do
166. 6:42store water in their bloodstream within
167. 6:44blood plasma and RBC. That's the reason
168. 6:46they don't get dehydrated easily. If you
169. 6:49have heard that cows have four stomachs,
170. 6:51well, that's a lie. Animals like cows or
171. 6:54goats have four compartments inside one
172. 6:57stomach. So, some people argue that if
173. 6:59there are four compartments, how is it
174. 7:01wrong to say cows have four stomachs?
175. 7:04Well, our heart has four compartments,
176. 7:06too. That doesn't mean we have four
177. 7:08hearts. Talking about cows, we all have
178. 7:11seen bull fights where bulls charge at
179. 7:13red cloth.
180. 7:14So people believe bulls hate red color.
181. 7:17Well, I already told you in fact video
182. 7:19that cows are red and green colorblind.
183. 7:21So they don't see the red color. Bulls
184. 7:24attack the cloth because it waves. They
185. 7:27see moving cloth as a threat. They would
186. 7:29attack green, blue, white, or black
187. 7:31color cloth if it's waving. If the
188. 7:34matador doesn't wave it, the bulls won't
189. 7:36attack. Red color is used because it
190. 7:38hides blood stains and looks more
191. 7:40attractive than other colors. Talking
192. 7:42about attractive spiders make attractive
193. 7:45webs to trap their prey. But if you
194. 7:47think all the spiders make webs, you are
195. 7:49falling for a lie. Spider species like
196. 7:52jumping spiders, wolf spiders, and
197. 7:54tarantulas don't make webs. They just
198. 7:57charge directly and kill insects.
199. 8:00Talking about insects, many people think
200. 8:02that spiders are insects. Well, it's a
201. 8:04lie. Spiders are arachnids, not insects.
202. 8:08And there's a difference. People also
203. 8:10believe that daddy longlegs are the most
204. 8:13venomous spiders. Well, that's a lie.
205. 8:16First, they are not spiders. They are
206. 8:18closer to scorpions than spiders. And
207. 8:21the second, they don't have venom gland.
208. 8:24But if you think this guy is daddy long
209. 8:26legs, then yeah, this is a spider, but
210. 8:29its venom is harmless to humans. There
211. 8:31are a lot of lies floating around us and
212. 8:34you shouldn't trust everything you hear.
213. 8:36But what you can really trust is, as
214. 8:38always, I love you guys.
