Transcript

00:00:00You are partying in your garden with your friends.

00:00:04People throw a frisbee, which ends up landing behind your bed.

00:00:08One of your friends is going to pick it up, but she notices something that looks like a very big ball.

00:00:13Trying to catch the frisbee, she sees wasps starting to swarm around her.

00:00:18You were far from suspecting that there was a giant wasp nest in your garden.

00:00:22Your friend runs back and rushes inside the house.

00:00:26Everyone is surprised to see her running suddenly like that.

00:00:29Then the wasps swarm in the garden.

00:00:32Everyone panics and rushes inside your living room, which turns out to be very cramped.

00:00:37You all look outside, frustrated.

00:00:40The wasps have chased you away from your own party.

00:00:43They land on the amuse-bouches and the fences.

00:00:45There are now everywhere in the garden.

00:00:48You have no choice but to send everyone home and clean.

00:00:52Wasps are generally not dangerous, except if they are provoked.

00:00:55But it is still highly recommended to avoid them.

00:00:58You call the wasp control service to report the nest discovered,

00:01:02and all you can do after that is sit down and wait for them to arrive.

00:01:06But it looks like a wasp has managed to get into the house.

00:01:10Everyone panics and throws your furniture and things away.

00:01:13You open the front door so that it can leave.

00:01:16The best way to detect the presence of a wasp nest is to observe their flying habits.

00:01:21If you see one coming back constantly to a certain place,

00:01:24there is a good chance that there is a nest nearby.

00:01:27And if you see several, be careful.

00:01:30Wasps generally move alone.

00:01:33But they live together and form colonies.

00:01:36Wasps have an incredible sense of engineering.

00:01:39They build their nests mainly from wood fibers that they mix with their saliva.

00:01:44They transform it into a material that looks like paper

00:01:47and makes hexagonal structures.

00:01:49They find pieces of wood in trees,

00:01:52or if they live near humans,

00:01:54in closures, window frames, and other sources of this type.

00:01:57Wasp control agents arrive dressed in protective gear.

00:02:01It looks like they're about to save the planet.

00:02:04You sit down and look at them closely.

00:02:06You watch them extract the nest.

00:02:08And luckily it was in your garden.

00:02:10Wasp nests have been found inside houses,

00:02:13behind cupboards, in garages, and even above windows.

00:02:16Technically, it's always outside.

00:02:18But you would have a bad surprise by opening your window to enjoy the fresh air.

00:02:22What most wasp control agents do, and your rescuers in this case,

00:02:26is move the nest, which is the size of a ball,

00:02:29to a safer place in nature.

00:02:31Wasps themselves are natural wasp control agents.

00:02:34Most insects do not dare to rub against them.

00:02:37They will attack in case of threat to all those who cross their path.

00:02:40And some farmers watch them and keep them close to their crops to protect them.

00:02:46As far as you're concerned, you can go outside and continue your little party.

00:02:51And light up this illegal barbecue.

00:02:53In April 1963, the inhabitants of a farm located in a remote area

00:02:57were confronted with the biggest wasp nest ever recorded.

00:03:01It weighed so much that it fell from the tree it was hanging from and split in two.

00:03:06The thing was about 4 meters long,

00:03:08the size of a Volkswagen coccinelle,

00:03:11and 1.5 meters in diameter, as wide as a refrigerator.

00:03:14Imagine you're having a picnic with your friends under this tree.

00:03:17You take a nice little hike in the northeastern region of Brazil,

00:03:21when suddenly you realize that something is ringing.

00:03:24No, it's not your stomach, you're fine.

00:03:27But there is something in the landscape.

00:03:29It seems strange.

00:03:31As if you were leaning on something old.

00:03:34You see a group of scientists in the distance.

00:03:36They tell you to go away.

00:03:38At first, you don't really understand what they want.

00:03:40Then you realize that you're leaning on a huge thermite.

00:03:44You know, these insects that love to nibble on wood so much

00:03:47that they surround themselves with it all their lives.

00:03:49And even if the thermites live in colonies like ants and bees,

00:03:53they are actually from the same family as the cockroaches.

00:03:56Thermites mainly live in North and South America,

00:03:59but they are also found in Europe and Asia.

00:04:02It is because of humans who have transported them everywhere with them

00:04:05in their boats and their crates.

00:04:07No object of wood is spared by these insects,

00:04:09more precisely by their jaws.

00:04:12So, after being away from the thermite,

00:04:14you realize that there is a whole set of them

00:04:16as far as your gaze allows you to see.

00:04:19You rush to the scientists to understand what's going on.

00:04:23And they tell you that you are standing above

00:04:25a huge complex made up of 200 million thermites.

00:04:29Even if a large number of these nests measure about 3 meters high,

00:04:32they all end up forming an impressive landscape.

00:04:35According to scientists, the complex could be almost 4,000 years old

00:04:38and it is visible from space thanks to satellites.

00:04:41And it is the size of Great Britain.

00:04:43If you were a small thermite,

00:04:45it would be as if you were suddenly discovering

00:04:474,000 large pyramids of geysers.

00:04:50Abandoned, these thermites are not active nests,

00:04:53but an interconnected network of tunnels.

00:04:56Scientists are still studying this super colony of thermites,

00:05:00but they don't know much more than at the beginning.

00:05:02They still haven't found the queen's chamber.

00:05:05And given its size, it would seem that this discovery is not for tomorrow.

00:05:10Thermites are creatures full of resources,

00:05:13but they can cause a lot of damage to structures built by humans

00:05:16and even to cultures and plantations.

00:05:18As thermites have migrated from continent to continent with humans,

00:05:22they are often not adapted to their environment.

00:05:25They end up seeking refuge anywhere,

00:05:27including in houses and buildings.

00:05:30Thermites are responsible for a large number of property destruction

00:05:33and even the collapse of wooden structures.

00:05:35If you have a house in the forest and most of your buildings are made of wood,

00:05:39then the buffet is open for these little pests.

00:05:42But as these creatures eat wood,

00:05:44that is, cellulose,

00:05:46they end up decomposing it into substances

00:05:49which, by spreading in the environment,

00:05:51promote the growth of other plants in the ecosystem.

00:05:54You walk in the savannah under a beautiful scorching sun

00:05:57when, all of a sudden, the star of the day disappears.

00:06:00And what you see above your head is not a big cloud announcing rain.

00:06:04You look carefully and you notice a strange movement in this mass.

00:06:08And you realize that it is a huge swath of cricket,

00:06:11probably the biggest you have ever seen.

00:06:14In 2020, East Africa experienced an invasion of crickets

00:06:18on an area equivalent to three times the size of New York City.

00:06:21These waves of swaths hit East Africa,

00:06:24the Arabian Peninsula and the Middle East,

00:06:26devouring the cultures that fed entire populations.

00:06:30Scientists say that this is the biggest cricket invasion of the last 50 years.

00:06:35Crickets are considered the worst pests.

00:06:38It's true, a cricket alone doesn't seem so bad.

00:06:41Not even two.

00:06:43They are rather harmless and eat a little bit of vegetation.

00:06:46But when about 80 million of these insects gather in one place,

00:06:50well, that's not good news.

00:06:52With such numbers, it is not surprising that the whole world

00:06:55pays special attention to these creatures

00:06:57when they decide to attack.

00:06:59It took immense effort to control the invasion.

00:07:02But in many cases, the rescue was carried out too late.

00:07:06Suddenly, when you see this huge swath heading towards you,

00:07:09you go quickly to look for shelter.

00:07:11But these creatures can go through anything.

00:07:14You find a small hut or hide.

00:07:17But as soon as they arrive, it's like a hurricane striking suddenly.

00:07:20The disaster is finally over.

00:07:22You look outside and you see that everything around you

00:07:25is overturned and tidied up.

00:07:27The crops have completely disappeared.

00:07:30The sun finally reappears,

00:07:32but the drought has not finished its work of devastation.

00:07:35Another insect that has become famous

00:07:37for causing all kinds of problems in 2020

00:07:39is the Asian cricket.

00:07:41Scientists say that these creatures are not aggressive towards humans,

00:07:45except if they are provoked.

00:07:47But they can be very dangerous for domestic bees.

00:07:50Crickets can destroy entire hives in a few hours.

00:07:54Tiny bees can't do much

00:07:56to protect themselves against these monsters

00:07:58that are 5 cm in age.

00:08:00Oh la la!

00:08:04These arid deserts that extend from your point of view

00:08:07seem lifeless.

00:08:09But among these sands,

00:08:11it is also possible to meet dangerous and sometimes frightening creatures.

00:08:15Some of them can only pose a slight risk to our health.

00:08:19But others will never be engraved in your memory.

00:08:22Let's get to know them,

00:08:24starting with the most moderately dangerous

00:08:26and ending with the real nightmares.

00:08:29You walk in the desert and you see a big teddy bear,

00:08:32arms wide open.

00:08:34You deduce that it is probably a mirage.

00:08:37But you still approach.

00:08:39You had just seen ...

00:08:41It's not a teddy bear, but a giant cactus.

00:08:44And there is something strange about it.

00:08:47Thanks to its strange pileosity,

00:08:49this branch seems to look like the arm of a teddy bear.

00:08:52However, it is not fur,

00:08:54but thousands of fine needles.

00:08:56And that's why you shouldn't approach it.

00:08:59This cactus is called Cylindro Puntia Bigelowi

00:09:02or Chola Urson.

00:09:04It grows in the desert areas of Arizona

00:09:06and in northern Mexico.

00:09:08Don't worry, this cactus won't attack you that much.

00:09:11But it will cling to your skin or your clothes

00:09:13if you have the misfortune to touch it.

00:09:17This fur coat protects the cactus from animals,

00:09:20creates shade and protects it from heat.

00:09:23The lateral branches are the most important parts of the plant

00:09:26because they carry out photosynthesis

00:09:28and accumulate a large amount of moisture inside.

00:09:31Thus, despite all the dangers it presents,

00:09:34this cactus can be useful for people who move in the desert.

00:09:38And the danger here,

00:09:40are the needles.

00:09:42If you look at them closely,

00:09:44you will notice their bearded appearance.

00:09:46You just have to touch them

00:09:48so that hundreds of thorns sink into your finger.

00:09:50It is difficult to get rid of them

00:09:52and the thorns cause extremely unpleasant painful sensations.

00:09:56But what is most interesting with this cactus,

00:09:59is the way it reproduces.

00:10:01The plant clones itself in a new place.

00:10:04When animals and humans pass in front of this cactus and touch it,

00:10:08it gives them a small piece of itself with its thorns.

00:10:11As soon as this piece falls to the ground,

00:10:13it takes root and begins to grow.

00:10:17We increase the degree of danger.

00:10:19The next desert monster is running towards us.

00:10:22And it's ...

00:10:23an ostrich.

00:10:24Many people think that these animals are poltergeists,

00:10:27just good to bury their heads in the sand.

00:10:30You would probably change your mind if you had the bad luck to meet one.

00:10:34In general, ostriches are not aggressive.

00:10:37But you will have to take your legs to your neck

00:10:39if you ever approach their nest.

00:10:41However, you have little chance of escaping them,

00:10:44because ostriches have a top speed of 70 km per hour.

00:10:48You will need a car to distance them,

00:10:50because they sprint and hit their enemy in the chest.

00:10:53It even happened that ostriches attack trucks

00:10:56and cause them significant damage.

00:10:59But the main danger that these volatiles represent

00:11:02lies in their powerful legs,

00:11:04equipped with clenched claws.

00:11:06With these, they can deliver powerful blows

00:11:09and even hit an opponent on the ground.

00:11:11So yes, if you see an ostrich in the distance,

00:11:14pass your way.

00:11:16This sly little lizard spends almost all his time underground,

00:11:19in the arid deserts of the southwest of the United States

00:11:22and northwest of Mexico.

00:11:25Sometimes, he goes out to look for his meal.

00:11:28He looks like a trognon,

00:11:30but in fact, it is the very dangerous Gila monster.

00:11:34Its thick skin protects it from falcons, coyotes and other predators.

00:11:38But its main asset is its venom.

00:11:41Snakes and spiders inject their toxins

00:11:44with clenched claws.

00:11:46But the Gila monster clings to its prey

00:11:49and swallows it to spread its venom.

00:11:51And when a person dies,

00:11:53he is able to keep his jaws closed for a very long time.

00:11:57It is difficult to get rid of the animal.

00:12:00People who have felt the effects of its venom

00:12:02say they have had the impression that fused lava

00:12:05was passing through their veins.

00:12:07Despite this, the lizard proved useful to science.

00:12:10Doctors have exploited its venom

00:12:12to design drugs against diabetes and obesity.

00:12:16The time has come.

00:12:18Get ready to meet one of the scariest creatures in the desert.

00:12:22Make no noise and just enjoy the silence.

00:12:25Do not move.

00:12:27There is no one around.

00:12:29You hear a whistle coming from below.

00:12:32You lower your head and you see it.

00:12:34A big yellow spider the size of the palm of your hand,

00:12:37with powerful jaws and long legs,

00:12:39lurks in the shadow of your body.

00:12:41Horrified, you flee from this monster.

00:12:43But it pursues you.

00:12:45It is not easy to do in such a situation.

00:12:48But try to calm down.

00:12:50The creature is not interested in you.

00:12:52It only wants your shadow to shelter from the scorching sun.

00:12:55In any case,

00:12:57it is better not to touch it.

00:12:59The powerful jaws of the lizard

00:13:01can cause very unpleasant sensations.

00:13:04It is the least we can say.

00:13:06Besides, this creature is not exactly a spider.

00:13:09Sure, it belongs to the arachnid class.

00:13:12But it is a distinct species.

00:13:14The Solpugidae.

00:13:16It likes to bite.

00:13:18It is not fearful.

00:13:19And even quite aggressive.

00:13:21The lizard feeds on insects, lizards, rodents and small birds.

00:13:25It can also move at a speed of 16 km per hour.

00:13:29Given its small size, it is very fast.

00:13:32You have to be a professional athlete to escape it.

00:13:35Most often,

00:13:37we find these Solpugidae in the deserts of the Middle East.

00:13:39But they also live in Mexico

00:13:41and in the southwest of the United States.

00:13:43These spiders are nocturnal

00:13:45and try to avoid the sun during the day,

00:13:48so that they will always be in search of your shadow.

00:13:51Moreover, they owe their name to the fact that they flee the sun in all circumstances.

00:13:56You will have no chance of escaping them during the day.

00:13:59But they will also want to take you during the night.

00:14:02Especially if you make a fire.

00:14:04The Solpugidae always run towards the light

00:14:07in the hope of catching something.

00:14:09Some species of these spiders

00:14:11even emit a whistle to frighten their enemies.

00:14:14Let's calm down for a moment

00:14:16and leave this burning desert.

00:14:18We enter the humid tropics of Tanzania.

00:14:20Under the bark of the trees,

00:14:22the dead leaf mats,

00:14:24and in the dark caves,

00:14:26you could meet one of the most terrifying creatures on the planet.

00:14:29The Amblypige,

00:14:31or 24-hour spider.

00:14:33Imagine a big scorpion without a tail,

00:14:36with a flat body that seems to have been compressed.

00:14:39It looks like spiders, but has no venom glands

00:14:42and cannot weave webs.

00:14:44This monster is fast and silent.

00:14:46But what is most frightening

00:14:48are its two front claws,

00:14:50twice as long as the creature itself.

00:14:52Any prey it catches will never be able to escape.

00:14:55Its entire life spent in a dark cave

00:14:57has altered its sight,

00:14:59and the Amblypige tries to avoid the light of the sun.

00:15:01During the night,

00:15:02it climbs to the ceiling

00:15:04and slowly gets rid of its old skin.

00:15:06Imagine directing your lamp to this place

00:15:08to see small cocoons,

00:15:10from where pale spiders

00:15:12with excessively long legs come out.

00:15:14If you meet this creature in real life,

00:15:16keep calm

00:15:18and move away as far away as possible.

00:15:20Stay on your guards.

00:15:22The Amblypige can slip under your clothes in a wink

00:15:24and bite you in the abdomen.

00:15:26And it's nothing compared to what awaits you.

00:15:28Okay, it's a joke.

00:15:30This nice little guy

00:15:32is one of the most shy

00:15:34and most harmless creatures among all arachnids.

00:15:36He is afraid of us

00:15:38and will never take you.

00:15:40Many find him majestic

00:15:42and keep Amblypiges in glass-made terrariums.

00:15:44If you want such a companion animal,

00:15:46be careful

00:15:48that it does not run away from its home.

00:15:50Because if this happens,

00:15:52it will be very difficult to catch up with it.

00:15:54In a few moments,

00:15:56it can slip under your bed

00:15:58or pass through the interstices of the floor.

00:16:00Then,

00:16:02it will go to your neighbor's apartment

00:16:04through the ventilation system

00:16:06and terrorize the people who are there.

00:16:08Well,

00:16:10and why not a little scorpion for the road?

00:16:12The latter is not as scary

00:16:14as the other creatures in this video.

00:16:16But this is the most venomous scorpion

00:16:18in the United States.

00:16:20The Centruroide Sculturatus of Arizona.

00:16:22The problem is

00:16:24that it can be found in the desert,

00:16:26at home or in your garden.

00:16:28This dangerous venomous creature

00:16:30slides into rooms and often stings people.

00:16:32A single sting

00:16:34is enough to cause a pain

00:16:36similar to that of a bee sting.

00:16:38But an allergic person can suffer

00:16:40from paralysis, respiratory distress

00:16:42and other extremely serious

00:16:44health problems.

00:16:46A purple sunset.

00:16:48You must have seen

00:16:50at least one in your life.

00:16:52Normally, it is not disturbing

00:16:54and is related to the way

00:16:56the light spreads.

00:16:58The light produced by the sun is white.

00:17:00When it crosses a prism,

00:17:02we observe luminous waves

00:17:04of different colors,

00:17:06from red to orange,

00:17:08to green and indigo.

00:17:10The light normally moves in a straight line

00:17:12if there are no obstacles.

00:17:14The shortest luminous waves,

00:17:16especially blue and purple,

00:17:18are more easily dispersed

00:17:20when they meet these obstacles,

00:17:22such as molecules and aerosols

00:17:24present in the atmosphere.

00:17:26As the sun is low on the horizon

00:17:28at sunset and sunrise,

00:17:30its light must pass through more molecules

00:17:32that disperse the purple and blue light.

00:17:34The colors that your eyes perceive

00:17:36are yellow, orange and red.

00:17:38But in good conditions,

00:17:40you can see a beautiful purple sky.

00:17:42Sometimes, a purple sky

00:17:44appears for much more harmful reasons.

00:17:46It can be caused by hurricanes,

00:17:48forest fires

00:17:50or dust storms.

00:17:52The concentration of steam in the air

00:17:54increases and the light

00:17:56disperses more than usual.

00:17:58Dust, sunset and low clouds

00:18:00also contribute to this natural spectacle.

00:18:02The sky turns orange and red

00:18:04at dusk

00:18:06if there is still enough light.

00:18:08Then it emits pink colors

00:18:10that mix with the dark blue of the sky.

00:18:12Do you remember what happens

00:18:14when you mix pink and blue?

00:18:16You get purple.

00:18:18All hurricanes do not make the sky turn purple.

00:18:20And trying to predict

00:18:22if this will happen

00:18:24is like trying to predict a rainbow.

00:18:26However, people have reported

00:18:28that several major hurricanes

00:18:30had so close to the sky.

00:18:32This color may seem as spectacular

00:18:34as purple, but it is also

00:18:36synonymous with danger.

00:18:38It usually indicates that a storm,

00:18:40a hail storm or a tornado

00:18:42is nearby.

00:18:44This unique color results

00:18:46from the mixture of yellow rays

00:18:48of the sun and the blue light

00:18:50of the storm clouds.

00:18:52You enjoy a beautiful day

00:18:54by the sea with a cool breeze

00:18:56in your hair when suddenly

00:18:58you notice that the water

00:19:00is rising. You must flee

00:19:02as quickly and as far as possible

00:19:04from the beach, because this means

00:19:06that a tsunami is approaching.

00:19:08A quick reaction maximizes

00:19:10your chances of survival.

00:19:12If you notice that the sea level

00:19:14is rising, but without it

00:19:16seeming too extreme, it may be

00:19:18another sign of the approach of a tsunami.

00:19:20This happens in 40% of cases

00:19:22and this flood is only the first

00:19:24wave of this tidal wave.

00:19:26The next, much more

00:19:28frequent, usually follows in 10 minutes.

00:19:30Another characteristic of tsunamis

00:19:32is that they are accompanied by a powerful

00:19:34rumble. People have compared it to thunder,

00:19:36the noise of a locomotive,

00:19:38a helicopter or simply

00:19:40to a powerful flash.

00:19:42You see a channel of agitated water

00:19:44on the beach. It is in your interest

00:19:46not to approach the water.

00:19:48There may be a current of ripples

00:19:50under the surface, which can prove

00:19:52extremely dangerous. Sometimes

00:19:54the waves hit the shore in an

00:19:56unusual way, which forms

00:19:58ripple currents. You can then observe

00:20:00a strange rupture in the waves

00:20:02or an area whose color is different

00:20:04from that of the rest of the water.

00:20:06Pieces of algae that go in all directions

00:20:08are another characteristic sign

00:20:10of these currents of return.

00:20:12If you are caught in such a phenomenon,

00:20:14try to continue to float,

00:20:16but do not try to go against the current.

00:20:18You would only waste

00:20:20precious energy. Call for help

00:20:22and try to float along the shore.

00:20:24Once you are out of the current,

00:20:26swim diagonally towards the beach.

00:20:28The next time you see

00:20:30conical-shaped clouds in the sky,

00:20:32remember that it is the right time

00:20:34to start looking for shelter.

00:20:36If they appear so,

00:20:38it means that a violent storm is on its way.

00:20:40But if a cloud of this shape

00:20:42begins to spin on itself,

00:20:44it means that it is about to turn

00:20:46into a tornado. If bees

00:20:48are nearby, they can

00:20:50warn you of such a cataclysm.

00:20:52These little working bees

00:20:54become more active than usual

00:20:56when they feel that a storm is

00:20:58approaching. They accelerate

00:21:00to collect more nectar before the storm

00:21:02arrives. And once they have

00:21:04finished, they always return

00:21:06to the shore 10 to 15 minutes

00:21:08before a heavy rain.

00:21:10And this even if there are no obvious

00:21:12signs of its arrival.

00:21:14Their secret? Super sensitive hairs

00:21:16on their backs that can capture

00:21:18the electrostatic accumulations

00:21:20of a storm cloud.

00:21:22For centuries and centuries,

00:21:24people have noticed that animals

00:21:26behaved strangely a few days

00:21:28before a big earthquake.

00:21:30Dogs do not stop barking,

00:21:32cows stop producing milk,

00:21:34and toads, rats and snakes

00:21:36desert their habitats.

00:21:38It seems that animals can feel

00:21:40the first shock waves

00:21:42weaker than humans do not even notice.

00:21:44Scientists have tried to find

00:21:46a logical explanation for this phenomenon

00:21:48but so far they have not

00:21:50been able to fully explain

00:21:52this mystery.

00:21:54Can you feel the ozone in the air?

00:21:56When a storm is preparing,

00:21:58it is the most distinct smell

00:22:00you can perceive. It is the electric charge

00:22:02of the lightning that releases it at an altitude.

00:22:04The other smell of the rain,

00:22:06more pleasant, is the petrichor.

00:22:08Rainwater exalts the molecules

00:22:10of plants, trees,

00:22:12concrete and asphalt.

00:22:14Their aroma spreads everywhere

00:22:16and you can feel this smell in your mouth.

00:22:18All the positive ions present in the air

00:22:20and released by lightning

00:22:22mix with the ozone and your saliva.

00:22:24This is how you get this metallic taste.

00:22:26When lightning

00:22:28is about to strike,

00:22:30you can hear cracks, rumbles

00:22:32or strange vibrations

00:22:34coming from metal objects

00:22:36located nearby.

00:22:38Your hands can start to sweat

00:22:40and finally you can feel your hair

00:22:42standing on your head.

00:22:44It is time to react

00:22:46and that means running away to save your life.

00:22:48Positive charges then cross

00:22:50your body, trying to reach

00:22:52the negatively charged part of the storm.

00:22:54And believe me, you really don't want

00:22:56these charges to meet.

00:22:58If you don't see any shelter

00:23:00that you can reach quickly,

00:23:02try to make yourself smaller than the objects around you.

00:23:04Lower your umbrella

00:23:06and stay away from the iron wire locks,

00:23:08pipes, rails

00:23:10and any other metal object.

00:23:12Don't lie down on the floor.

00:23:14It is probably wet,

00:23:16which means it is an excellent

00:23:18electricity conductor.

00:23:20If you suddenly notice crevasses in the asphalt

00:23:22next to your house,

00:23:24it could be a forerunner

00:23:26to a landslide.

00:23:28Inspect your house from the inside.

00:23:30Does the door start to get stuck?

00:23:32Or maybe there is a space

00:23:34between the walls and the ceiling.

00:23:36Unequal cupboards and kitchen drawers,

00:23:38inclined floors, stairs that start to lean,

00:23:40infiltrations after each rain,

00:23:42and moldings that move

00:23:44are all signs that a valley

00:23:46is about to open.

00:23:48To know if it is really a landslide

00:23:50and what is its degree of danger,

00:23:52you have to call a geotechnical engineering

00:23:54office.

00:23:56If you come across a pre-existing valley,

00:23:58you have to stay away from the area.

00:24:00Install a fence or a rope

00:24:02to make it less dangerous for passers-by.

00:24:04Finally, you will need

00:24:06the help of a professional to fill it.

00:24:08Some volcanoes scream

00:24:10when they are about to erupt.

00:24:12The small tremors

00:24:14that often occur in advance

00:24:16generate a rumbling.

00:24:18It is generally inaudible to the human ear,

00:24:20but it sometimes reaches a frequency

00:24:22that allows you to hear this strange rumbling

00:24:24coming from the ground.

00:24:26This noise is known as harmonic tremor.

00:24:28In the case of some volcanoes,

00:24:30it is the sound of magma bubbles

00:24:32vibrating when they cross

00:24:34the cracks in the earth's crust,

00:24:36but this is not always the case.

00:24:38If scientists were able to understand

00:24:40the exact cause of these volcanic screams,

00:24:42they could create a limited system

00:24:44of pre-alert alerts for eruptions.

00:24:46If you are in nature,

00:24:48pay attention to the water of streams,

00:24:50rivers and rivers.

00:24:52If their level drops rapidly

00:24:54while it is raining,

00:24:56it may be a sign of an imminent landslide.

00:24:58And if you hear a slight rumbling

00:25:00or unusual noises

00:25:02such as rocks colliding,

00:25:04it can mean that debris

00:25:06is already on its way to you.

00:25:08This is obviously a sign

00:25:10that you need to take immediate precautions.

00:25:12It's a beautiful Saturday afternoon

00:25:14and you go shopping

00:25:16in your usual supermarket

00:25:18when you come across a packet

00:25:20full of fresh products.

00:25:22You check the information on the product.

00:25:24It seems to have exceeded

00:25:26its expiration date.

00:25:28So why this strange shape?

00:25:30The answer is not always obvious.

00:25:32For fresh products such as meat, fish

00:25:34or seafood, sometimes even salads

00:25:36and cheese,

00:25:38scientists have developed

00:25:40a thing called MAP

00:25:42for Modified Atmosphere Packaging.

00:25:44For these types of products

00:25:46with relatively short shelf life

00:25:48to remain fresh as long as possible,

00:25:50a combination of gases

00:25:52is introduced into the packaging.

00:25:54This happens even before

00:25:56the product reaches your store.

00:25:58A French professor at the Montpellier

00:26:00University has developed this method

00:26:02after noticing that fruits tend to

00:26:04remain fresh longer

00:26:06in low oxygen storage conditions.

00:26:08The types of gases

00:26:10contained in MAP packages

00:26:12can vary from one product to another.

00:26:14But the main idea is to reduce

00:26:16oxygen retention,

00:26:18usually replaced by nitrogen

00:26:20or carbon dioxide.

00:26:22Don't forget that an inflated salad packet,

00:26:24even if it hasn't yet exceeded

00:26:26its expiration date,

00:26:28can still be consumed.

00:26:30The gases inside the bag

00:26:32can be a sign that the product is damaged.

00:26:34That's why the best thing to do

00:26:36when buying is to check

00:26:38that the product hasn't expired.

00:26:40If it hasn't exceeded the date,

00:26:42check if there are any unusual smells

00:26:44or if the packaging is damaged.

00:26:46If something seems abnormal to you,

00:26:48it's better not to take any risks.

00:26:50You can contact any store employee

00:26:52if you have any questions or concerns.

00:26:54Nowadays, most supermarkets

00:26:56have a logical order of purchase,

00:26:58such as buying non-perishable items first,

00:27:00then adding refrigerated or frozen products,

00:27:02and finally fruits and vegetables

00:27:04so that they don't end up

00:27:06crushed at the bottom of your basket.

00:27:10And while we're on the subject of fruits and vegetables,

00:27:12try to buy them in the morning if possible.

00:27:16Those who stay there all day

00:27:18may lose some of their shape and texture,

00:27:20while others may be a little flabby.

00:27:22Now, a little piece of advice

00:27:24when working on waste management.

00:27:26Never buy more food

00:27:28than you intend to consume in a week.

00:27:30Most fruits and vegetables

00:27:32don't even last that long,

00:27:34so it's better not to help yourself

00:27:36to all your desires.

00:27:38Doing groceries with a full stomach

00:27:40can also help you,

00:27:42just like doing groceries

00:27:44with a pre-established list

00:27:46of things you need to buy.

00:27:48Carefully inspecting the packaging

00:27:50of each product can also save you

00:27:52a lot of time.

00:27:54When you get home,

00:27:56make sure to refrigerate

00:27:58all products as soon as possible.

00:28:00In general, they shouldn't stay

00:28:02out of the fridge for more than 2 hours.

00:28:04Otherwise, their quality

00:28:06may be altered.

00:28:08Buying aromatic herbs in pots

00:28:10may not be the first thing on your list,

00:28:12but it's certainly something to consider.

00:28:14Not only are they available

00:28:16for a modest price,

00:28:18but they are also easy to grow and maintain.

00:28:20Imagine a pretty aromatic herbs garden

00:28:22right there on your balcony

00:28:24or even in your kitchen.

00:28:26Wouldn't it be nice?

00:28:28You'll always have fresh basil

00:28:30to top a pasta dish.

00:28:32And while you're still at the store,

00:28:34don't forget to buy coffee filters.

00:28:36You may not have a filter machine

00:28:38at home, but they have many other

00:28:40possible uses.

00:28:42They can be used to filter liquids,

00:28:44to safely stack delicate porcelain

00:28:46in your cupboards,

00:28:48or in your shoes.

00:28:50If your favorite fruits and vegetables are on sale,

00:28:52but buying large quantities

00:28:54would mean wasting them,

00:28:56think about freezing them.

00:28:58You can reserve them for smoothies,

00:29:00especially for the cold season

00:29:02when the options are limited

00:29:04in terms of fresh fruits.

00:29:06And don't be happy to catch

00:29:08the first thing on your list,

00:29:10especially if they may spoil quickly.

00:29:12Stores re-supply their products

00:29:14according to the principle

00:29:16that they are always a little fresher.

00:29:18It's the same for tea,

00:29:20if you prefer it to coffee.

00:29:22Choose tea leaves instead.

00:29:24Not only will you reduce your expenses,

00:29:26but you'll also be able to make

00:29:28your own home-made blend.

00:29:30Tea leaves also have a stronger taste

00:29:32than tea sold in sachets.

00:29:34As for other household items,

00:29:36reserve light bulbs, paper towels

00:29:38and batteries.

00:29:40There's a good chance that one day

00:29:42you'll need one of these items.

00:29:44It's advisable to buy them in large quantities

00:29:46when they are on sale.

00:29:48They will never be wasted and,

00:29:50let's face it,

00:29:52it's always boring when the TV remote

00:29:54doesn't work anymore,

00:29:56but you don't have any batteries left.

00:29:58Try to reduce the number of times

00:30:00you go shopping

00:30:02to buy only one item.

00:30:04It's inefficient and you'll probably

00:30:06end up buying things you don't really need.

00:30:08This shopping list is starting to make

00:30:10a lot more sense now, isn't it?

00:30:12It's the one that contains everything

00:30:14you have in your fridge.

00:30:16Try to create a list like this

00:30:18at least twice a week.

00:30:20Planning your meals at least a week in advance

00:30:22will also help you to reduce

00:30:24your impulsive shopping.

00:30:26If you already know what you'll eat

00:30:28for Wednesday's dinner,

00:30:30why add something else to the basket

00:30:32if it's useless?

00:30:34At the same time,

00:30:36try to be creative with your leftovers.

00:30:38Why throw them away when you can

00:30:40find something better?

00:30:42Put your leftovers in transparent containers

00:30:44for more visibility and don't be afraid

00:30:46to plan a leftover meal during the week.

00:30:48It's just as pleasant to consider them

00:30:50as ingredients rather than

00:30:52as vulgar leftovers.

00:30:54Use the leftover pasta or steamed cooked vegetables

00:30:56to make an omelette.

00:30:58Mix your cooked vegetables

00:31:00with a few tomatoes to create

00:31:02a sauce for the pasta.

00:31:04Prepare wraps for the next day's lunch

00:31:06with anything from rice to meat

00:31:08or vegetables.

00:31:10If you're looking for the simplest way

00:31:12to keep leftovers,

00:31:14you can always turn them into a soup.

00:31:16The accompaniment of vegetables from day to night

00:31:18can turn into a healthy lunch

00:31:20if you just add a can of broth

00:31:22and mix it all up.

00:31:24Even an old loaf of bread can be saved

00:31:26if you cut it diagonally,

00:31:28sprinkle it with a few slices of herbs

00:31:30and olive oil,

00:31:32and put it in the oven for a few minutes.

00:31:34You'll have beautiful homemade croutons

00:31:36for your leftover soup.

00:31:38A little bit of etiquette

00:31:40doesn't hurt anyone either.

00:31:42Be aware of the ingredients

00:31:44you've never heard of

00:31:46or those you can't pronounce.

00:31:48You should generally avoid products

00:31:50with more than five ingredients.

00:31:52Even the way you shop

00:31:54can have an impact

00:31:56on what you buy and how.

00:31:58If you prefer baskets to baskets,

00:32:00you're more inclined to make impulsive purchases.

00:32:02That's what a study published

00:32:04in the Journal of Marketing Research shows.

00:32:06This happens because of the effort you make

00:32:08to actually transport the items.

00:32:10By choosing a basket,

00:32:12you'll probably be comfortable enough

00:32:14to evaluate enough products

00:32:16and read the labels carefully.

00:32:18When your shopping list isn't too long,

00:32:20opt for the automatic box if it's available.

00:32:22Studies have shown

00:32:24that impulsive purchases

00:32:26are reduced to 32%

00:32:28if you scan your own items when you go out.

00:32:30That's because the normal box line

00:32:32is specifically designed

00:32:34to prevent you from leaving items

00:32:36you could have considered.

00:32:38There is literally no place

00:32:40where you can put your unwanted items

00:32:42outside of your basket.

00:32:44And if someone else is following you,

00:32:46good luck coming back.

00:32:48Food on shelves

00:32:50can also pose a threat

00:32:52to your budget and habits.

00:32:54Since people are more inclined

00:32:56to buy items they see first,

00:32:58the most expensive products

00:33:00are placed on the upper

00:33:02and lower shelves.

00:33:04Take your time and scrutinize

00:33:06the aisles you're interested in.

00:33:08You'll be surprised to see

00:33:10that most of the items

00:33:12on the upper or lower shelves

00:33:14are often not only cheaper,

00:33:16but also less rich in additives

00:33:18or artificial aromas.

00:33:20In short, be careful.

00:33:22Supermarkets are a real jungle.

00:33:24From the outside,

00:33:26the surface of this lake

00:33:28is full of water.

00:33:30Empty tree trunks

00:33:32emerge from the turquoise waters.

00:33:34The lake is surrounded by mountains,

00:33:36which makes it a calm

00:33:38but disturbing place.

00:33:40But those who dare to swim

00:33:42in these dangerous waters

00:33:44will soon discover

00:33:46a whole new world.

00:33:48It's not the beginning

00:33:50of a fairy tale.

00:33:52It's the real story

00:33:54of Lake Kaindy,

00:33:56which is full of rainwater,

00:33:58practically submerging the forest.

00:34:00The trees above the water

00:34:02may look sad,

00:34:04but under the surface

00:34:06they resemble an underwater forest.

00:34:08As the waters are crystalline

00:34:10most of the time,

00:34:12you can still see this fascinating view

00:34:14even from the banks.

00:34:16The lake's icy water

00:34:18makes things complicated

00:34:20and can sometimes be dangerous.

00:34:22Don't forget the algae,

00:34:24which can quickly become

00:34:26potentially dangerous obstacles.

00:34:28I like hot and smoky baths,

00:34:30but this boiling lake

00:34:32belongs to the category

00:34:34of terrifying dreams.

00:34:36It is located on the island of Dominique,

00:34:38in the Caribbean,

00:34:40and its waters have a temperature

00:34:42between 82 and 92 degrees Celsius.

00:34:44And it's only on the edge,

00:34:46because no one has ever dared

00:34:48to reach the middle of the lake

00:34:50to measure its temperature in the center.

00:34:52It is true that the temperature

00:34:54can drop from time to time,

00:34:56but you never know

00:34:58when these waters

00:35:00can start boiling again.

00:35:02The place is also dangerous

00:35:04due to the gases it releases,

00:35:06such as carbon dioxide.

00:35:08The smell is not pleasant,

00:35:10believe me,

00:35:12but it is mainly because of the sulfur

00:35:14present in the vaporous air.

00:35:16This lake, apparently calm,

00:35:18also has a dangerous surprise.

00:35:20It looks like a volcano.

00:35:22And most of the time,

00:35:24it does so without any warning.

00:35:26Its last eruption dates back

00:35:28to 1894,

00:35:30when it caused serious damage.

00:35:32The chemical mechanism of these lakes

00:35:34works like a soda can

00:35:36that you shake before opening it.

00:35:38Dangerous gases are at the bottom of the waters,

00:35:40so any disturbance to the surface

00:35:42can trigger their eruption.

00:35:44Lake Natron, in Tanzania,

00:35:46may be beautiful to look at

00:35:48because of its particularly reddish color,

00:35:50but it is certainly not a place

00:35:52where you want to swim.

00:35:54If the water is extremely salty,

00:35:56it also combines with algae,

00:35:58which, by the way,

00:36:00are responsible for the coloration.

00:36:02And it is not even what is most risky.

00:36:04Lake Natron has pH levels

00:36:06so high that they become corrosive.

00:36:08If you wet a piece of dark fabric

00:36:10in this lake,

00:36:12it will soon be devoid of its color.

00:36:14These high levels of acidity

00:36:16can also cause serious problems

00:36:18to the human skin.

00:36:20Everything is not bad for some creatures

00:36:22because Lake Natron is the only place

00:36:24where more than 2.5 million little flamingos live.

00:36:26Its acidic and saltwater waters

00:36:28ensure their survival.

00:36:30It is therefore not surprising

00:36:32that they like to stay in the dams.

00:36:34The risk represented by Lake Nicaragua

00:36:36is less linked to chemistry than to its inhabitants.

00:36:38Located on the border between Costa Rica

00:36:40and Nicaragua,

00:36:42it is the largest freshwater lake

00:36:44in Central America.

00:36:46At first glance, you will not think

00:36:48that it can be dangerous.

00:36:50But because of the bull sharks

00:36:52that live there,

00:36:54I advise you not to swim there.

00:36:56Sharks tend to be unpredictable

00:36:58and sometimes intimidating creatures.

00:37:00In addition, they are ready to eat everything

00:37:02if necessary.

00:37:04Scientists first believed

00:37:06that this species of shark

00:37:08was only in this lake.

00:37:10But they soon discovered

00:37:12that sharks can swim

00:37:14not only a distance of more than 193 km

00:37:16to get here,

00:37:18but can also adapt to fresh water,

00:37:20which not all fish can do.

00:37:22The great blue hole of the Bélize

00:37:24may seem attractive to divers.

00:37:26I mean that it is a beautiful blue

00:37:28and that it is quite close to the continent,

00:37:30at about 100 km.

00:37:32The problem is that under the surface

00:37:34of these calm waters

00:37:36there is a series of complex tunnels

00:37:38that contain many types of corals

00:37:40These caves make diving

00:37:42in the great blue hole complicated.

00:37:44In addition, specialists have discovered

00:37:46that by sinking into the waters,

00:37:48the creatures are less and less numerous.

00:37:50Why? Because of a hidden layer

00:37:52of hydrogen sulfide

00:37:54that extends over the entire width of the gulf.

00:37:56As there is no oxygen,

00:37:58no creature can survive

00:38:00at this depth.

00:38:02The Lagnier Lake is the largest lake

00:38:04in the state of Georgia.

00:38:06It hosts a large number of visitors every year,

00:38:08about 11 million,

00:38:10which is about the same

00:38:12as the Louvre Museum in Paris.

00:38:14Despite its popularity,

00:38:16many accidents occur on this lake

00:38:18and no one knows exactly why.

00:38:20One of the explanations

00:38:22could be under the surface

00:38:24of this mysterious lake.

00:38:26There is a lot of debris and gravel,

00:38:28as well as objects thrown at random,

00:38:30such as boats, garden chairs

00:38:32and even fishing line.

00:38:34All this creates a difficult

00:38:36With a low visibility

00:38:38at the surface of the lake,

00:38:40this place can become dangerous to navigate.

00:38:42The Grand Prismatic Spring,

00:38:44located in Yellowstone National Park,

00:38:46which extends over the states of

00:38:48Wyoming, Montana and Idaho,

00:38:50is another example of a lake

00:38:52where one has the impression

00:38:54that someone has edited Photoshop

00:38:56with the mountains.

00:38:58It is totally forbidden to swim here.

00:39:00It is 87 ° C in the center,

00:39:02almost close to boiling point.

00:39:04And the outer ring reaches

00:39:06about 55 ° C.

00:39:08Hence the colors.

00:39:10As the center of the water is too hot

00:39:12for life to develop there,

00:39:14nothing disturbs the surface.

00:39:16The absence of living organisms

00:39:18creates this bright blue

00:39:20that almost looks like bread.

00:39:22On the small Mediterranean island

00:39:24of Cyprus, there is not much rain

00:39:26during the summer.

00:39:28This is why some water plants

00:39:30become so dry that in some places

00:39:32a layer of salt is cooked.

00:39:34This is the case of the salty lake of Larnaca.

00:39:36Do not be fooled

00:39:38by this sinister landscape.

00:39:40These lands can easily become a trap.

00:39:42Indeed, it is easy to confuse

00:39:44a dry surface with a thin layer

00:39:46of salt that covers

00:39:48water or mud.

00:39:50In addition, under the crust

00:39:52there are salt crystals

00:39:54that can cause skin problems.

00:39:56The hole of Samae San

00:39:58is one of the most dangerous places

00:40:00to swim in all of Thailand.

00:40:02It is because it is very deep,

00:40:04up to 85 meters,

00:40:06and becomes extremely dark.

00:40:08In some places, when divers go down,

00:40:10they can even reach places

00:40:12where visibility is zero.

00:40:14It is not surprising that many people

00:40:16are disoriented and can no longer

00:40:18find their way up.

00:40:20The largest lake in Africa

00:40:22and the third largest lake in the world

00:40:24is called Lake Victoria.

00:40:26All these waters are not dangerous

00:40:28but some regions can quickly

00:40:30cause problems. Why?

00:40:32Partly because it has its own

00:40:34independent meteorological system

00:40:36and this makes the weather

00:40:38really unreliable.

00:40:40It can go from clear and sunny

00:40:42to terrible in a few seconds.

00:40:44I mean, who would like to end up

00:40:46swimming in the middle of a storm,

00:40:48right?

00:40:50The Poustoyé Lake is located in Siberia.

00:40:52So I guess I don't need to tell you

00:40:54that these waters are extremely cold.

00:40:56In fact, there is nothing extraordinary

00:40:58in these waters.

00:41:00Is it completely true?

00:41:02Most likely not.

00:41:04And people tend to avoid swimming here

00:41:06at all costs, even if they can resist

00:41:08the icy waters.

00:41:10So what makes the Poustoyé Lake

00:41:12so mysterious and dangerous?

00:41:14Well, nothing seems to want to live here.

00:41:16And scientists have not yet discovered

00:41:18why. They tried to fill the lake

00:41:20with many types of fish

00:41:22and various species of plants

00:41:24to survive in the waters.

00:41:26But the results were disappointing.

00:41:28As we do not know exactly why

00:41:30it is so difficult to survive here,

00:41:32do not rush to get your swimsuit yet.

00:41:34It is preferable that you stay away.

00:41:36Hey, pig, you don't need to tell me twice.

00:41:40It's time for the big spring cleaning.

00:41:42You put on a rag and a broom

00:41:44to get rid of all those spider webs

00:41:46on your windows.

00:41:48They have no chance this time.

00:41:50By removing a spider web

00:41:52one after the other,

00:41:54you suddenly notice mud

00:41:56with strange shapes stuck

00:41:58under the roof and the porch.

00:42:00What is it?

00:42:02You realize all of a sudden

00:42:04it must be mason geese nests.

00:42:06With so many nests side by side,

00:42:08there must be a nest.

00:42:10Fortunately, mason geese

00:42:12are solitary insects.

00:42:14All these little mud huts

00:42:16are filled with paralyzed spiders.

00:42:18Sometimes up to 500 spiders

00:42:20are just enough for young geese to hatch.

00:42:22If the nest has holes,

00:42:24it can indicate that it is old or abandoned

00:42:26because mason geese drill holes

00:42:28to leave their nest.

00:42:30If you want to remove them,

00:42:32it is preferable to wait for the night

00:42:34when they are not so active.

00:42:36Although they are quite placid,

00:42:38if they feel threatened,

00:42:40they will not hesitate to sting.

00:42:42It looks like an insect was designed

00:42:44in half and then its creator

00:42:46interrupted himself.

00:42:48With toad claws,

00:42:50a cricket body,

00:42:52and a shrimp head,

00:42:54this creature is a bit like

00:42:56the insect world's ornithorynchus.

00:42:58It is not venomous and only dies

00:43:00if you trap it in your hand.

00:43:02And if you really annoy it,

00:43:04it has another advantage in its sleeve,

00:43:06its wings.

00:43:08They can spit a brown liquid

00:43:10that smells bad,

00:43:12just like the fly.

00:43:14So just let them leave your house

00:43:16and don't bother them.

00:43:18Marine creatures like

00:43:20sea stars, marine herbs,

00:43:22hermit crickets, small fish,

00:43:24and all kinds of octopuses.

00:43:26If you think this little octopus

00:43:28has blue eyes,

00:43:30it is better to leave it alone.

00:43:32It blinks in neon blue

00:43:34for a good reason.

00:43:36This miniature octopus

00:43:38has a venomous bite

00:43:40a thousand times stronger

00:43:42than cyanide

00:43:44in the hospital or morgue.

00:43:46Earth snakes may be scary,

00:43:48but marine snakes are

00:43:50on a whole other level.

00:43:52In the Indian and Pacific Oceans,

00:43:54there are about 50 different

00:43:56species of sea snakes,

00:43:58and they are as beautiful as dangerous.

00:44:00Fortunately, they don't seem

00:44:02to care too much about us.

00:44:04Dubois' sea snake is

00:44:06undoubtedly the most venomous

00:44:08in the ocean, nicknamed

00:44:10the beak sea snake.

00:44:12But don't forget the bite of a cobra.

00:44:14The venom of these two snakes

00:44:16is extremely dangerous.

00:44:18Fortunately for us,

00:44:20it can take hours to cause

00:44:22symptoms in humans,

00:44:24and it would be necessary

00:44:26for them to pierce

00:44:28your diving suit.

00:44:30If this fly lands on your arm

00:44:32outside, you could scream

00:44:34a little, we wouldn't mind.

00:44:36The scorpion fly,

00:44:38as its name suggests,

00:44:40also has a long beak-shaped head

00:44:42that serves to feed itself

00:44:44after flying insects

00:44:46in spider webs.

00:44:48To find the ideal partner,

00:44:50it loves to make gifts

00:44:52in the form of saliva.

00:44:54If you are in Africa,

00:44:56you may pass by this big bird

00:44:58if you are not careful.

00:45:00The scorpion fly will immobilize

00:45:02when you pass in front of it.

00:45:04Being able to measure up to 1.5 meters

00:45:06and have a wingspan of 2.5 meters,

00:45:08the scorpion fly looks like a predator,

00:45:10although it is anything but.

00:45:12Known as one of the slowest birds in the world,

00:45:14almost a statue,

00:45:16the scorpion fly only eats fish

00:45:18near the surface of the water,

00:45:20without worrying about the world.

00:45:22This bird is not at all afraid of humans.

00:45:24Although it is not very talkative,

00:45:26it will let you get close enough

00:45:28to take some pictures.

00:45:30If you hear a little squeak

00:45:32while you are in the garden,

00:45:34it could be a mouse, a squirrel

00:45:36or even a rhinoceros

00:45:38who tells you that you are too close.

00:45:40They love to make noise

00:45:42when they are disturbed.

00:45:44With their giant and scary horns on their heads,

00:45:46they may seem able to defend themselves,

00:45:48but this is not the case.

00:45:50They only use them to move

00:45:52the leaves and sticks in their path

00:45:54and to prevent other mammals

00:45:56from entering the female's parrots.

00:45:58Not only do they have a horn on their head,

00:46:00but they also have a Herculean strength.

00:46:02They are able to lift

00:46:04their own weight.

00:46:06It's as if you could lift 65 tons

00:46:08or 11 elephants.

00:46:10Living mainly in China,

00:46:12the little Herculean deer

00:46:14is adorable with its fur coat,

00:46:16at least until it turns around

00:46:18and turns out to be a vampire deer.

00:46:20Fortunately,

00:46:22this animal does not want to taste your blood

00:46:24or wear a cape.

00:46:26Only males grow these attributes

00:46:28rather than woods during the season of love

00:46:30in order to dispute territories

00:46:32between males and females.

00:46:34These crows look more like elephant defences

00:46:36than sharp teeth.

00:46:38Not only do they have crows,

00:46:40but they are also known to bark like dogs

00:46:42and flee like cats when they are scared.

00:46:44The red tide is a proliferation

00:46:46of toxic algae

00:46:48that rises from the bottom of the sea

00:46:50after particularly violent storms.

00:46:52This algae looks a lot like ketchup

00:46:54or rust poured into the water,

00:46:56but it is much worse

00:46:58for the life around it.

00:47:00Fish and marine organisms

00:47:02will try to escape

00:47:04once exposed to the toxic algae

00:47:06present in their water.

00:47:08It is not particularly harmful

00:47:10for humans who are exposed to it,

00:47:12but if you eat seafood contaminated

00:47:14by these toxins,

00:47:16things can get a little worse.

00:47:18So if the sea is red,

00:47:20stay out of the water.

00:47:22Some spiders like to harbor bright colors

00:47:24to show that they are dangerous,

00:47:26but not the Australian Robustus atrax.

00:47:28The Australian Robustus does not need

00:47:30any artificial intelligence

00:47:32to prove that it is strong.

00:47:34It can be very dangerous

00:47:36if it decides to bite you.

00:47:38It can stop your nervous system

00:47:40in just 30 minutes.

00:47:42Wearing their web

00:47:44in any shelter,

00:47:46like old ronds,

00:47:48shoes or even garden dung,

00:47:50the Australian Robustus atrax

00:47:52like to live near our habitat

00:47:54to feed easily.

00:47:56Australian Robustus atrax

00:47:58are intrepid,

00:48:00and in a way,

00:48:02they may be right.

00:48:04When you are brave enough

00:48:06to steal food from a jaguar,

00:48:08a lion or a hyena,

00:48:10what are you afraid of?

00:48:12These cousins of the Australian Robustus atrax

00:48:14are not only ferocious,

00:48:16they are super smart.

00:48:18They are even known

00:48:20to use tools

00:48:22to escape enclosures.

00:48:24Australian Robustus atrax

00:48:26have a dangerous gland

00:48:28near their tail

00:48:30that contains a powerful

00:48:32stinking machine.

00:48:34They are brave,

00:48:36smelly,

00:48:38have an extremely elastic

00:48:40and resistant skin

00:48:42and, to top it all off,

00:48:44they enjoy a strong immunity

00:48:46against scorpions and snakes.

00:48:48The best thing to do

00:48:50if you come across an Australian Robustus atrax

00:48:52is to feed it.

00:48:54This mushroom is not toxic,

00:48:56but it has such a bitter taste

00:48:58that you should think twice

00:49:00before tasting one.

00:49:02When it is young

00:49:06this white mushroom

00:49:08seems to have red jelly

00:49:12This sticky liquid

00:49:14is sap pushed up

00:49:16because it has absorbed

00:49:18too much water.

00:58:16Have you ever seen

00:58:18a sea cucumber lying on a sand bed

00:58:20and thought it looked like a blob?

00:58:22These creatures may seem

00:58:24soft and defenseless,

00:58:26but they actually have fascinating

00:58:28strategies to protect themselves.

00:58:30Biologists have discovered

00:58:32chemical compounds

00:58:34that allow sea cucumbers

00:58:36to protect themselves

00:58:38from predators

00:58:40and to be useful

00:58:42to human health.

00:58:44When sea cucumbers

00:58:46feel threatened,

00:58:48they can remove parts

00:58:50of their bodies

00:58:52that look like wires.

00:58:54These tubes immobilize

00:58:56predators in a sticky

00:58:58and toxic constriction.

00:59:00Toxicity comes from

00:59:02some chemical compounds

00:59:04that are commonly

00:59:06found in plants.

00:59:08These substances are also

00:59:10known for their antioxidant

00:59:12and anti-inflammatory properties.

00:59:14They are already used

00:59:16in a large number of industries

00:59:18such as cosmetics.

00:59:20But the use of these chemicals

00:59:22as a defense

00:59:24poses a big problem

00:59:26for sea cucumbers.

00:59:28They must avoid

00:59:30contaminating themselves

00:59:32with their own toxins.

00:59:34This means that their own cells

00:59:36will be damaged

00:59:38and they will spread.

00:59:40Sea cucumbers have therefore

00:59:42developed two types

00:59:44of cholesterol alternatives.

00:59:46This is a self-defense strategy.

00:59:48If you can produce

00:59:50these toxic substances,

00:59:52you must be able

00:59:54not to get sick.

00:59:56As smart and cute as they are,

00:59:58you now know that you

01:00:00should not touch

01:00:02a sea cucumber

01:00:04with your bare hands.

01:00:06A creature so unique

01:00:08and so dangerous

01:00:10that it will make you turn your head.

01:00:12This snail is a real

01:00:14world traveler.

01:00:16It is found from the southern tip of India

01:00:18to Okinawa in Japan

01:00:20and southeast of New Caledonia

01:00:22and the Samoa.

01:00:24It is an area of impressive distribution

01:00:26and it is not only the place

01:00:28where it is found that is interesting,

01:00:30it is also the way it hunts.

01:00:32It is a ferocious predator.

01:00:34It loves to devour other snails

01:00:36and sometimes even

01:00:38its own congeners.

01:00:40When it is hungry,

01:00:42it takes out its long white teeth

01:00:44and throws a harpoon loaded with poison

01:00:46on its prey.

01:00:48And if that is not enough,

01:00:50it will attack its prey several times

01:00:52just to be sure.

01:00:54What determination, isn't it?

01:00:56Once the harpoon has reached its target,

01:00:58the prey is immobilized

01:01:00and irreversible.

01:01:02When the prey is defenseless,

01:01:04the snail can start devouring it.

01:01:06Where can we find

01:01:08this formidable creature, you ask?

01:01:10It can be found in shallow waters,

01:01:12generally on coral reefs

01:01:14or lagoon pinnacles,

01:01:16as well as in the sand,

01:01:18under rocks or among marine grasses.

01:01:20Be careful where you put your feet

01:01:22the next time you go swimming,

01:01:24that's all.

01:01:26The good thing is that the venom of this snail

01:01:28is being developed

01:01:30as a potential treatment for pain.

01:01:32Some of the chemical substances

01:01:34it contains have been studied

01:01:36and are promising.

01:01:38Who would have thought that this unusual predator

01:01:40could also have a softer side?

01:01:42The next on our list

01:01:44of creatures to avoid

01:01:46is a small fish called

01:01:48stone fish.

01:01:50You may think it's a pretty little stone,

01:01:52but let me tell you

01:01:54that you shouldn't be mistaken.

01:01:56In fact, it's the most venomous fish

01:01:58in the entire ocean.

01:02:00These fish are masters of disguise,

01:02:02basing themselves in their environment

01:02:04on the rocky or shallow bottoms

01:02:06of the marine habitats of the Indo-Pacific region.

01:02:08They are real sea ninjas

01:02:10who patiently wait

01:02:12for their prey to get close

01:02:14before attacking it

01:02:16and swallowing it whole.

01:02:18But the problem is that you can easily

01:02:20pass by a stone fish

01:02:22without even realizing its presence.

01:02:24I know what you're thinking.

01:02:26I don't want to accidentally walk on a stone fish.

01:02:28And believe me,

01:02:30you really don't want to.

01:02:32These fish have a lot of spines on their backs

01:02:34and they release venom

01:02:36when you walk on them.

01:02:38Ouch! This venom can cause

01:02:40terrible pain, swelling

01:02:42and tissue lesions.

01:02:44It's not really a good day at the beach

01:02:46if you ask me.

01:02:48But don't worry, the stone fish

01:02:50is not here to catch you.

01:02:52They have spines for defensive

01:02:54and non-offensive purposes.

01:02:56As long as you don't disturb it

01:02:58and don't walk on it,

01:03:00everything should be fine.

01:03:02Just be careful where you put your feet

01:03:04and maybe invest in water shoes.

01:03:06And if you get stung,

01:03:08immediately consult a specialist.

01:03:10It is preferable to always watch

01:03:12where you walk,

01:03:14to drag your feet on the bottom

01:03:16to avoid walking directly on the fish

01:03:18and to wear water shoes

01:03:20as it is susceptible to shelter

01:03:22stone fish.

01:03:24Have you ever had the pleasure

01:03:26to meet a lion fish up close?

01:03:28They are beautiful creatures

01:03:30with all their colors

01:03:32and their fins that look like

01:03:34wings and accessories.

01:03:36It is easy to be fascinated

01:03:38by their elegance,

01:03:40but don't be fooled

01:03:42by their stunning appearance.

01:03:44You shouldn't make fun of them.

01:03:46In fact, it is one of the most dangerous

01:03:48predators in the world.

01:03:50They can cause severe pain

01:03:52and even allergic reactions.

01:03:54The lion fish injects its venom

01:03:56through its dorsal and pelvic fins.

01:03:58They are not aggressive

01:04:00and will not sting you suddenly,

01:04:02but they will defend themselves

01:04:04if they are provoked or caught.

01:04:06It is not only their venom

01:04:08that makes them dangerous.

01:04:10They also have tiny teeth.

01:04:12But instead of using them

01:04:14to bite predators,

01:04:16the lion fish uses its fins

01:04:18in the shape of a spine

01:04:20to repel predators.

01:04:22And unfortunately,

01:04:24humans are part of it.

01:04:26So, even if it is tempting

01:04:28to approach this fish

01:04:30to say hello,

01:04:32you have to be careful

01:04:34about its sharp fins.

01:04:36But here it is,

01:04:38the lion fish can be eaten.

01:04:40Some say they are even delicious.

01:04:42And as they pose a threat

01:04:44to predators,

01:04:46you have to be careful

01:04:48about their venomous fins.

01:04:50If you dive with a mask

01:04:52or swim near corals

01:04:54in the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean,

01:04:56you may encounter

01:04:58these amazing fish.

01:05:00Keep a reasonable distance

01:05:02between you and the lion fish

01:05:04and it will not feel threatened

01:05:06or frightened

01:05:08to the point of stinging you

01:05:10to defend itself.

01:05:12They are not aggressive at all.

01:05:14These creatures are everywhere,

01:05:16from rocky banks

01:05:18to coral reefs,

01:05:20and are very common

01:05:22in almost all saltwater areas,

01:05:24including in all the oceans of the world.

01:05:26It is therefore not surprising

01:05:28that the injuries caused

01:05:30by lion fish are also quite frequent.

01:05:32But accidents happen,

01:05:34especially when we are distracted

01:05:36by a pretty little turtle

01:05:38or too excited to explore

01:05:40the ocean.

01:05:42These little creatures have two ways

01:05:44to defend themselves.

01:05:46Their spines and these tiny structures

01:05:48in the shape of jaws

01:05:50that can inject a painful substance.

01:05:52Some species have long,

01:05:54tight spines

01:05:56that can easily pierce

01:05:58a thick dive suit

01:06:00and sink deeply into your skin.

01:06:02But do not worry,

01:06:04avoiding bears is not a wizard.

01:06:06Just try to be aware

01:06:08of the thorns in the sand

01:06:10and to control your floatability.

01:06:12This will help you stay a few meters

01:06:14away from the corals

01:06:16that can hide bears in their crevasses.

01:06:18And if an entrance on the shore

01:06:20has many bears,

01:06:22choose another dive site.

01:06:24It does not matter.

01:06:26Now let's talk about the first care

01:06:28to be taken in the event of a bear bite.

01:06:30Soaking the area in hot water

01:06:32for an hour and a half

01:06:34can help you break down

01:06:36the spines.

01:06:38Carefully remove the spines

01:06:40with a tweezers

01:06:42and shave the area

01:06:44to eliminate these annoying points.

01:06:46Then wash the injured area

01:06:48with soap and rinse with fresh water.

01:06:50Also apply topical creams

01:06:52if you have any in your beach bag.

01:06:54And of course,

01:06:56monitor the signs of allergies

01:06:58and contact a specialist

01:07:00if you notice anything strange.

01:07:02But do not forget that bears

01:07:04can eat wildfire,

01:07:06globefish and coral.

01:07:08So do not be too hard

01:07:10with our little bear friends.

01:07:12After all, compared to some

01:07:14of these other creatures,

01:07:16they are rather docile.

01:07:18In the heart of a dense forest,

01:07:20a person takes a hike in the forest,

01:07:22plunging into the mysterious

01:07:24depths of this wild nature.

01:07:26But this is not an ordinary walk

01:07:28through the woods.

01:07:30It will quickly take a strange turn

01:07:32Our protagonist,

01:07:34a glimmer of audacity in the eyes,

01:07:36discovers a terrier hidden in the shade.

01:07:38Curiosity

01:07:40takes him by surprise

01:07:42and our explorer approaches it.

01:07:44It's not just any terrier,

01:07:46it's a fox.

01:07:48And if it was a bad idea

01:07:50and it was better to run away.

01:07:56During the happy spring season,

01:07:58when nature is animated

01:08:00with its vibrant energy,

01:08:02foxes always pursue the complex

01:08:04cycle of life.

01:08:06It is at this time that foxes

01:08:08seek the comfort of their

01:08:10underground sanctuaries.

01:08:12The rest of the year,

01:08:14when the world around is luxurious,

01:08:16the fox prefers to rest in the sun

01:08:18and spend all his time on the surface,

01:08:20except when the weather is bad.

01:08:22It is in the most unfavorable conditions

01:08:24that he takes refuge in his terrier

01:08:26in the shelter of the bad weather.

01:08:28These fox terriers

01:08:30usually only have a few entrances,

01:08:32sometimes covered with dirt

01:08:34and scattered debris.

01:08:36During the winter months,

01:08:38foxes go to dig with diligence

01:08:40new galleries in anticipation

01:08:42of the spring to come.

01:08:44Sometimes, among the remains

01:08:46of their underground travels,

01:08:48we find remains of dead foxes,

01:08:50witnessing the endless cycle of existence

01:08:52within these complex underground networks.

01:08:58If we explore the surroundings

01:09:00of a fox terrier,

01:09:02we will notice fresh traces of food

01:09:04outside the terriers

01:09:06during the months of April to June.

01:09:08It is at this period,

01:09:10when the foxes have played

01:09:12in the north,

01:09:14the forest of their presence,

01:09:16that we can find

01:09:18vestiges of their feasts,

01:09:20a sign of this new life

01:09:22that is developing.

01:09:24So what do these terriers look like?

01:09:26Now let's get to the heart of the matter.

01:09:28Fox terriers,

01:09:30impenetrable remains

01:09:32of these spying beings,

01:09:34are generally located in areas

01:09:36where the greenery is abundant.

01:09:38These animals can hide

01:09:40under the branches of a tree

01:09:42or take refuge under imposing rocks.

01:09:44If you come across a small hole

01:09:46that seems to be cut to size for a fox

01:09:48and you smell this incomparable aroma

01:09:50accompanied by other revealing clues

01:09:52like scattered bones,

01:09:54then you have probably discovered

01:09:56a fox den.

01:10:02Alas, my curious friend,

01:10:04there is no infallible recipe

01:10:06to know where these canidae rusees

01:10:08choose to set up their den.

01:10:10They have an amazing ability

01:10:12to adapt to various environments,

01:10:14whether it is open meadows,

01:10:16dense forests or even

01:10:18the pitiful tundra.

01:10:20Just imagine,

01:10:22the terrier of a fox

01:10:24consists of at least four or five parts.

01:10:26There is the main entrance,

01:10:28the access tunnel,

01:10:30the main den and a secret room

01:10:32that serves as a food reserve.

01:10:34Depending on the size of the den,

01:10:36there may be additional rooms

01:10:38to accommodate the entire family of foxes.

01:10:42Now visualize the opening

01:10:44of the den of a fox.

01:10:46The entrance and access tunnel

01:10:48form a corridor

01:10:50that goes down from one to three meters underground,

01:10:52connecting the outside world

01:10:54to the den that is there.

01:10:56Ah, but that's not all.

01:10:58Foxes, as warned administrators,

01:11:00store all the treasures

01:11:02they have found in their den.

01:11:04Yes, they have their own food cache

01:11:06where they hide

01:11:08all these delicious finds.

01:11:10The number of rooms in the den

01:11:12can vary depending on the size of the den

01:11:14because these rusee animals

01:11:16take care that there is

01:11:18enough space to put down

01:11:20and raise their adorable den.

01:11:22They can even dig

01:11:24additional tunnels

01:11:26and create other entrances

01:11:28in case the need arises.

01:11:30Now let's talk about culinary affairs.

01:11:32Foxes are warned gourmets

01:11:34who stock a lot of food,

01:11:36ready to face

01:11:38winter and the season of love.

01:11:40However, they are not catchers.

01:11:42They usually put aside

01:11:44just what they need

01:11:46for the time to come,

01:11:48since they do not have the chance

01:11:50to find a fresh prey every day.

01:11:52Bays and fruits often

01:11:54guard their food,

01:11:56while these delectable carcasses

01:11:58are at the center of their gastronomic menu.

01:12:02Are you curious to know

01:12:04if fox burrows

01:12:06are close to each other?

01:12:08If the earth is rich in food

01:12:10and fresh water,

01:12:12fox burrows are located

01:12:14within a radius of 25 square kilometers.

01:12:16On the other hand,

01:12:18if resources are scarce,

01:12:20you may have to extend

01:12:22your research to a radius

01:12:24of 50 square kilometers

01:12:26to find a burrow.

01:12:28But the adventure does not stop there.

01:12:30Foxes, faithful to their

01:12:32foggy nature,

01:12:34often have several burrows.

01:12:36They keep their main burrow,

01:12:38often called natal burrow,

01:12:40They keep a lifebuoy

01:12:42to face unexpected circumstances.

01:12:44Let's not forget either

01:12:46their ability to appropriate

01:12:48or borrow abandoned burrows.

01:12:50They're smart, aren't they?

01:12:54Now let's talk about

01:12:56these wonderful animals.

01:12:58Foxes are classified

01:13:00into a multitude of species,

01:13:02variations and sizes

01:13:04scattered throughout the planet.

01:13:06But the star is the red fox

01:13:08on all continents,

01:13:10except Antarctica.

01:13:14If most foxes

01:13:16prefer the tranquility

01:13:18of rural landscapes,

01:13:20don't be surprised to see them

01:13:22venturing into urban

01:13:24and suburban areas

01:13:26where their path

01:13:28can cross that of man.

01:13:30Ah, the encounters between

01:13:32fox and man,

01:13:34it's the story of two extremes.

01:13:36On the one hand,

01:13:38there are those who tremble

01:13:40at the mere sight of a fox

01:13:42fearing their ferocious

01:13:44and fierce nature.

01:13:48Now imagine this scenario.

01:13:50What happens if a fox

01:13:52approaches you or even attacks you?

01:13:56In general, foxes

01:13:58are not a threat to man

01:14:00and have no bad intentions.

01:14:02They prefer to feed themselves

01:14:04to animals or hens,

01:14:06reserving their aggressiveness

01:14:08to hunting or their own defense.

01:14:10However, cases of confrontation

01:14:12between humans and foxes

01:14:14have been reported,

01:14:16among which a few incidents.

01:14:18It is therefore essential

01:14:20to know the measures to take

01:14:22if a fox approaches

01:14:24or throws itself on you.

01:14:26Foxes can indeed be domesticated.

01:14:28However, they remain

01:14:30essentially wild

01:14:32They can temporarily embrace

01:14:34captivity, then return

01:14:36to their primary instincts

01:14:38when they feel tackled, threatened,

01:14:40pulled by hunger or simply

01:14:42frightened.

01:14:44Naturally, foxes

01:14:46consider us as potential threats

01:14:48and it is in our interest

01:14:50to show the same caution.

01:14:52Never try to approach

01:14:54a fox, even if it seems

01:14:56friendly and docile, because its temperament

01:14:58can change in a few seconds

01:15:00and take you by surprise.

01:15:04Avoid sudden movements

01:15:06and resist the urge to get closer

01:15:08because it could agitate

01:15:10or frighten our friend fox.

01:15:12In most cases,

01:15:14when a fox sees a man

01:15:16nearby, it quickly flees

01:15:18or hides.

01:15:20However, if you find yourself

01:15:22facing a fox,

01:15:24the best step to take

01:15:26is to take a step back

01:15:28If a fox

01:15:30persists in approaching

01:15:32or if you meet several

01:15:34at the same time,

01:15:36well, friend, stay away from them

01:15:38and leave their territory to them.

01:15:40Do not try to approach them

01:15:42or feed them, even less by hand.

01:15:44Let them wander

01:15:46to their fox occupations

01:15:48while you watch them from afar.

01:15:52If a fox finds itself trapped,

01:15:54for example when entering

01:15:56a garage, it is imperative to stay calm.

01:15:58Avoid raising your voice

01:16:00or causing unnecessary agitation

01:16:02because it could incite the fox

01:16:04to attack you. On the contrary,

01:16:06remain silent, keep a

01:16:08respectable distance with the animal

01:16:10and offer it a way out.

01:16:12Make sure the doors and windows

01:16:14are not obstructed

01:16:16in order to give the fox the freedom

01:16:18so sought. In time,

01:16:20it will escape as quickly as it has become.

01:16:22However,

01:16:24if luck does not smile on you

01:16:26and you find yourself in the

01:16:28unfortunate situation of a fox attack,

01:16:30do not forget to keep calm.

01:16:32Refrain from

01:16:34dropping your dog on it

01:16:36or chasing it. Let the fox

01:16:38go by itself. If the latter

01:16:40persists and refuses to retreat,

01:16:42a loud noise or a few

01:16:44handshakes can be enough to make it run away.

01:16:46And you can now enjoy

01:16:48your walk in the forest.

01:16:52You are used to

01:16:54taking hitchhikers

01:16:56when you go to work?

01:16:58In this case,

01:17:00you should learn about

01:17:02the scam of the hitchhiker

01:17:04on the road. It is a

01:17:06swindle that aims at

01:17:08unsuspecting drivers.

01:17:10The swindle usually starts with a person

01:17:12who pretends to be a hitchhiker

01:17:14and signs a car on the side of the road.

01:17:16She may claim to be in distress

01:17:18or need a driver

01:17:20In some cases,

01:17:22the hitchhiker can ask the driver

01:17:24to stop at a specific place,

01:17:26such as a gas station or a supermarket,

01:17:28where he will disappear with the money

01:17:30or other valuables that he has stolen.

01:17:32This swindle can also

01:17:34take place in a team. A group of people

01:17:36signs a car and asks to be

01:17:38stopped. Once the car is on the road,

01:17:40they threaten the driver and steal

01:17:42money, valuables,

01:17:44even the car itself.

01:17:46It is important to be aware

01:17:48of this swindle and to be always

01:17:50careful when you stop people.

01:17:52It is preferable to avoid

01:17:54giving money or other valuables

01:17:56to anyone who claims

01:17:58to need a transport

01:18:00and to never stop at a place

01:18:02that is not safe or familiar.

01:18:04Hitchhikers are not the only

01:18:06cause of trouble on the road.

01:18:08A slice of cheese is not something

01:18:10you expect to find on your parked car,

01:18:12is it? Yet it may be the sign

01:18:14of a dangerous situation.

01:18:16A woman told this experience online,

01:18:18thinking it was a simple farce

01:18:20made by a young man in the neighborhood.

01:18:22She decided to call a friend and ask

01:18:24him for help to clean the car.

01:18:26But when the two women started

01:18:28to remove the melted cheese on the windshield,

01:18:30they saw something strange nearby.

01:18:32She remembers seeing

01:18:34a white truck arrive.

01:18:36Inside were several men

01:18:38who looked at them suspiciously.

01:18:40As she was not alone,

01:18:42she judged that there was no danger

01:18:44of ending up cleaning the car.

01:18:46Even if she did not feel comfortable

01:18:48with the idea of being stripped,

01:18:50it took them nearly an hour

01:18:52to scrape the cheese that had melted

01:18:54under the heat.

01:18:56She still wondered if it was not

01:18:58a tactic to steal a person.

01:19:00Indeed, most people would be so

01:19:02focused on cleaning their car

01:19:04that they would be distracted

01:19:06and would not keep an eye on the objects

01:19:08they left in the car,

01:19:10such as bags, wallets

01:19:12that they had recently bought.

01:19:14Sometimes it could be a strategy

01:19:16to steal. The sticky cheese

01:19:18would force the person to focus

01:19:20on cleaning the car

01:19:22and would prevent her from seeing

01:19:24the suspicious people who would

01:19:26approach her in time.

01:19:28What must be remembered from this story

01:19:30is that if you ever see a piece of cheese

01:19:32on your car, you might as well leave it

01:19:34as it is, as long as it does not block

01:19:36your view and does not really affect

01:19:38your driving.

01:19:40You can clean it at home.

01:19:42Or you have to go to the nearest

01:19:44washing station, which will know

01:19:46how to clean the vehicle as best

01:19:48as possible without damaging the paint.

01:19:50Of course, the scam of a piece

01:19:52of cheese on a car

01:19:54may just be a coincidence.

01:19:56But some scams are more legitimate,

01:19:58such as the following, which is

01:20:00a rather unusual method to seize

01:20:02other people's cars. If you notice

01:20:04a t-shirt or a hood sweater

01:20:06on your windshield or even wrapped

01:20:08in an ice cream cone, do not rush

01:20:10to get rid of it.

01:20:12Again, it may be an object

01:20:14deliberately placed there to divert

01:20:16your attention while your car is being

01:20:18taken away. Leave as soon as

01:20:20possible, if you can, and

01:20:22go to a safe, well-lit

01:20:24and crowded place.

01:20:26There, you can easily remove

01:20:28the object on your car.

01:20:30Some people even found

01:20:32money under their ice cream cones.

01:20:34It is quite obvious that those

01:20:36who left it there probably had

01:20:38the same intention.

01:20:40There are effective methods to

01:20:42reduce the risk of your car being stolen.

01:20:44When you park your car,

01:20:46make sure your tires are

01:20:48turned to the sidewalk.

01:20:50If the wheels of the car are in this position,

01:20:52thieves are less likely to be able

01:20:54to move with the vehicle.

01:20:56They will see that the car needs more

01:20:58time and energy to move,

01:21:00and it will therefore become a less interesting target.

01:21:02Unfortunately, robberies

01:21:04on the road are quite common,

01:21:06and one of the most common is the

01:21:08infamous car robbery.

01:21:10This robbery consists of

01:21:12leaving oil, metal nails or

01:21:14glass shards on the road and waiting

01:21:16for the drivers to fall into the trap.

01:21:18If such a practice damages

01:21:20the car, the robbers will arise

01:21:22from nowhere and offer you

01:21:24very high-priced towing services.

01:21:26They will try to put pressure on you

01:21:28so that you use their services,

01:21:30because most of the time, they place

01:21:32traps in strategic places.

01:21:34They make sure that people are isolated

01:21:36in places where visibility is reduced

01:21:38and where there are no service stations

01:21:40in sight to assess the damage

01:21:42caused to the car.

01:21:44If, for example, towing is

01:21:46the only possible option, the tower

01:21:48will take advantage of it to take the car

01:21:50to unpleasant workshops by your insurance company.

01:21:52This means that you will have to

01:21:54pay even more money to

01:21:56get your car back.

01:21:58If you have been driving for a long time,

01:22:00you know that the driver who hits

01:22:02another vehicle from behind is always

01:22:04responsible. Indeed,

01:22:06it is advisable to always keep a comfortable

01:22:08distance from the preceding car

01:22:10in order to be able to stop safely

01:22:12in an emergency situation.

01:22:14Some robbers take the opportunity to

01:22:16brake abruptly several times,

01:22:18causing a collision.

01:22:20This dangerous tactic is used to

01:22:22get money for alleged damage

01:22:24and even for false medical fees.

01:22:26To avoid being a victim of this

01:22:28it is advisable to slow down

01:22:30and keep a safe distance.

01:22:32In particular, with suspicious vehicles

01:22:34or chaotic drivers.

01:22:36If a thief continues to harass you

01:22:38in traffic, the best thing

01:22:40to do is to go to the nearest

01:22:42police station and report him.

01:22:44Let's take an example.

01:22:46You are driving

01:22:48on the road and suddenly

01:22:50a biker draws your attention

01:22:52and makes you notice that your wheels are smoking.

01:22:54You quickly stop on the low side of the road.

01:22:56The biker then offers to help you

01:22:58by calling a mechanic

01:23:00to check your wheels.

01:23:02Surprisingly, the mechanic arrives

01:23:04very quickly, but he deactivates

01:23:06your braking system while he

01:23:08inspects the cause of the smoke.

01:23:10He then asks you to test your brakes,

01:23:12which will obviously not work

01:23:14since he has already deactivated them.

01:23:16Pretending to be helpful,

01:23:18he offers you to repair your brakes,

01:23:20but he will ask you a huge price for it.

01:23:22The moral of the story?

01:23:24Always remain faithful to your mechanic

01:23:26or your trustworthy company.

01:23:28You never know who you

01:23:30can meet on the road.

01:23:32Some burglaries

01:23:34are not even authentic,

01:23:36but are urban legends.

01:23:38Many people claim to have seen

01:23:40the wrong way man,

01:23:42or the man who drives in the opposite direction on the roads.

01:23:44A version of this story mentions

01:23:46a man stuck in a street

01:23:48in a unique way, causing chaos

01:23:50and confusion, while

01:23:52the driver tries to avoid him.

01:23:54It is said of this man that he is crazy and dangerous,

01:23:56with a wild look in the eyes

01:23:58and a penchant for reckless driving.

01:24:00Other versions say that he does not even drive,

01:24:02but that once you see this mysterious person

01:24:04on the side of the road

01:24:06on your way home, you have to turn around

01:24:08and avoid going back to your house

01:24:10for at least a week.

01:24:12In other words, something serious

01:24:14could happen.

01:24:16There are countless stories of accidents

01:24:18avoided justly with this mysterious character.

01:24:20Some even say that they were hit

01:24:22by man and that they suffered serious injuries.

01:24:24Despite the many observations

01:24:26and stories,

01:24:28there is no concrete proof

01:24:30of the real existence of the man

01:24:32who drives in the opposite direction.

01:24:34Many experts believe that this legend

01:24:36is only a simple warning,

01:24:38intended to remind people that they must

01:24:40pay attention to those around them

01:24:42and drive carefully.

01:24:44However, the legend persists

01:24:46and continues to be transmitted from generation

01:24:48to generation,

01:24:50making it one of the most tenacious urban myths

01:24:52of all time.

01:24:56The Baltic Sea Anomaly

01:24:58In 2011, a team of divers

01:25:00descended all the way down

01:25:02from the Baltic Sea to the north.

01:25:04They were hunting for treasure,

01:25:06but they discovered a rather strange object.

01:25:08They took pictures

01:25:10that they then shared

01:25:12and some people thought

01:25:14it was the spaceship

01:25:16Others thought that a natural phenomenon

01:25:18had given shape to this object,

01:25:20but the metals inside the structure

01:25:22could not have been formed naturally.

01:25:24Today, some scientists

01:25:26believe that it is an object

01:25:28dating from the Ice Age,

01:25:30perhaps even from a meteorite

01:25:32that was caught in the ice

01:25:34at that time.

01:25:36A maelstrom is a whirlwind,

01:25:38a kind of powerful rotating current

01:25:40that forms when two currents meet,

01:25:42creating a circular vortex.

01:25:44Even the intrepid Vikings

01:25:46were afraid of maelstroms.

01:25:48Their power was such

01:25:50that they could make very large ships sink.

01:25:52These whirlwinds

01:25:54are still dangerous today,

01:25:56but fortunately,

01:25:58the great modern ships

01:26:00are no longer afraid of anything.

01:26:02They are now able

01:26:04to resist this power.

01:26:06However, a whirlwind crossing

01:26:08the path of a maelstrom

01:26:10will generally be exposed

01:26:12The strength of some maelstroms

01:26:14is so formidable

01:26:16that they are sometimes compared

01:26:18to black holes.

01:26:20And no, black holes

01:26:22do not only belong to the interstellar space.

01:26:24They are found here on our planet

01:26:26in the form of oceanic whirlwinds.

01:26:28What brings them closer to these celestial monsters

01:26:30is the fact that nothing they capture

01:26:32can escape them.

01:26:34These underwater black holes

01:26:36can reach up to 150 km in diameter.

01:26:38If you were caught in one of them,

01:26:40you would probably not even realize it.

01:26:42Their influence extends far beyond

01:26:44what can be detected.

01:26:46Because of their size,

01:26:48they even escape the most modern equipment.

01:26:50Here is something more relaxing.

01:26:52The next time you go to the beach,

01:26:54open your eyes wide

01:26:56and you may see this optical phenomenon

01:26:58called the green flash.

01:27:00You can see it a little after sunset

01:27:02or just before sunrise.

01:27:04It occurs when the sun

01:27:06is almost completely below the horizon,

01:27:08but its upper edge is still visible.

01:27:12For one or two seconds,

01:27:14the solar crown will seem green to you.

01:27:16Because in reality,

01:27:18you will observe the sun

01:27:20through the thickest parts of the atmosphere,

01:27:22at the bottom of the sky.

01:27:24As it descends below the horizon,

01:27:26its light refracts into the atmosphere

01:27:28or curves and disperses.

01:27:30Choose a clear day,

01:27:32without clouds or mist on the horizon,

01:27:34and you will be able to see this phenomenon.

01:27:36You were impatient to swim,

01:27:38but when you arrive at the beach,

01:27:40you see that the ocean is red.

01:27:42It is better to avoid making trumpets.

01:27:44Florida is famous for its red tides.

01:27:46This occurs when the concentration

01:27:48of the Karenia brevis algae

01:27:50is higher than normal.

01:27:52Most of the algae in the sea,

01:27:54rivers and lakes

01:27:56are safe for animals and humans.

01:27:58They even help us.

01:28:00They are indeed a great source of oxygen.

01:28:02But some,

01:28:04such as the one that gives

01:28:06this red tint to the ocean,

01:28:08can be extremely dangerous

01:28:10for the aquatic fauna,

01:28:12sea turtles, fish and marine birds.

01:28:14This type of algae can develop

01:28:16in an uncontrolled way

01:28:18and produce very harmful neurotoxins

01:28:20for humans,

01:28:22especially for those

01:28:24who have respiratory problems.

01:28:26These people must avoid

01:28:28areas of red tides,

01:28:30especially when strong winds

01:28:32cause toxic gases,

01:28:34ashes and a reddish wash.

01:28:36These dangers have been well known

01:28:38to humans for centuries.

01:28:40But underwater volcanoes

01:28:42can also be dangerous.

01:28:44Sometimes those located

01:28:46in shallow waters

01:28:48reveal their presence

01:28:50by projecting debris of rocks

01:28:52and steam very high

01:28:54above the surface.

01:28:56Due to the presence of water,

01:28:58their effects will be different

01:29:00and the sea water can penetrate

01:29:02their events.

01:29:04The lava can spread

01:29:06on the ocean floor,

01:29:08sometimes even spilling

01:29:10from terrestrial volcanoes.

01:29:12When it enters the water,

01:29:14it cools down so quickly

01:29:16that it can become

01:29:18a gravel of sand.

01:29:20Volcanic debris is found

01:29:22in large quantities in these areas.

01:29:24Have you ever seen

01:29:26these strange black sand beaches

01:29:28in the middle of the ocean?

01:29:30It's a dangerous place.

01:29:32But underwater volcanoes

01:29:34in deep waters are just as dangerous,

01:29:36even when they don't erupt.

01:29:38They produce air pockets.

01:29:40These bubbles reduce the density

01:29:42of the surrounding waters,

01:29:44which can even cause shipwrecks.

01:29:46The worst is that when you look

01:29:48at the surface of the ocean,

01:29:50you won't know that a danger

01:29:52is waiting for you.

01:29:54You won't see these air pockets

01:29:56for a long time.

01:29:58The cross-sea is a rare phenomenon,

01:30:00beautiful to observe,

01:30:02but also very dangerous.

01:30:04It's when you see square waves.

01:30:06They are quite common

01:30:08in the shallow areas of the ocean.

01:30:10You can observe this phenomenon

01:30:12near the island of Ré

01:30:14or from the beaches of Tel Aviv,

01:30:16but also in many other areas

01:30:18around the world.

01:30:20This happens when two waves

01:30:22propagating in two different directions

01:30:24form a pattern.

01:30:26This usually happens after

01:30:28the passage of an atmospheric front,

01:30:30and this sea state is structured

01:30:32in a large number of directional flows.

01:30:34These waves can be dangerous

01:30:36for swimmers and divers.

01:30:38The waves produced by

01:30:40strong ocean currents

01:30:42can be unpredictable

01:30:44and measured up to 3 meters high.

01:30:46They are sometimes called

01:30:48white walls.

01:30:50Their power is such

01:30:52that you can't see them.

01:30:54If you fill a glass with seawater

01:30:56and look closely,

01:30:58you will see small particles.

01:31:00Seawater contains

01:31:02dissolved salts,

01:31:04fats, algae,

01:31:06proteins, and other

01:31:08artificial and organic debris.

01:31:10If you shake the glass,

01:31:12tiny bubbles will appear

01:31:14on the surface.

01:31:16This is how seawater forms,

01:31:18when waves and winds

01:31:20collide.

01:31:22Because seawater is thick,

01:31:24it can be due to a large

01:31:26concentration of algae.

01:31:28When algae disintegrate

01:31:30in the sea,

01:31:32their matter often drifts

01:31:34to the shores.

01:31:36In general, seawater

01:31:38is not dangerous for humans,

01:31:40but when it contains

01:31:42decomposed algae,

01:31:44it can be harmful

01:31:46to our environment.

01:31:48Another health problem.

01:31:50Square masses occur

01:31:52in the mouth

01:31:54and the lower reaches

01:31:56of certain streams.

01:31:58A strong tidal wave

01:32:00meets the current

01:32:02and pushes the river back.

01:32:04Square masses are part

01:32:06of the hydraulic spring category,

01:32:08a sudden change in water level.

01:32:10It is a positive push,

01:32:12which means that the wave

01:32:14goes back up the river

01:32:16and suddenly becomes shallow.

01:32:18You won't see square masses everywhere.

01:32:20The river must be shallow

01:32:22and its mouth must be narrow.

01:32:24The area where the sea

01:32:26meets the river must be flat

01:32:28and wide.

01:32:30In addition, the area between

01:32:32the low tide and the high tide

01:32:34must be at least 6 meters wide.

01:32:36Of course, there are some exceptions,

01:32:38like the Amazon,

01:32:40the largest river in the world.

01:32:42The mouth of the Amazon

01:32:44is full of square masses.

01:32:46Its mouth is shallow

01:32:48and has many sands

01:32:50and other low islands.

01:32:52This square mass is why

01:32:54the Amazon does not have

01:32:56a real delta.

01:32:58The Atlantic Ocean

01:33:00quickly takes away

01:33:02these sediments,

01:33:04preventing such a formation.

01:33:06Square masses are often

01:33:08unpredictable and can be

01:33:10extremely violent.

01:33:12They can damage the vegetation

01:33:14and even tear down trees.

01:33:16So leisure sports like

01:33:18kayaking and surfing

01:33:20can be dangerous in these areas.

01:33:22But if you just want to observe

01:33:24a square mass a little closer,

01:33:26be careful.

01:33:28It could literally tear down

01:33:30the ground under your feet

01:33:32and take you into these agitated waters.

01:33:42But sometimes,

01:33:44we regain our vehicle

01:33:46to discover

01:33:48that unexpected surprises

01:33:50are waiting for us.

01:33:52Try to imagine

01:33:54that you are heading

01:33:56to your four-wheeled companion

01:33:58and there is a prospectus

01:34:00who is staring at you

01:34:02under the ice sheet.

01:34:04Or there would be

01:34:06a PV just there

01:34:08to draw your attention

01:34:10and give you a whole new

01:34:12piece of advice.

01:34:14And it's a real gem.

01:34:16If you see something on your car

01:34:18that shouldn't be there,

01:34:20don't take it off with your bare hands.

01:34:22Are you intrigued?

01:34:24You see, the police forces

01:34:26keep an eye on everything

01:34:28that concerns cars.

01:34:30And their role is not limited

01:34:32to catching the drivers

01:34:34and following traffic rules.

01:34:36They are there for us

01:34:38because the authorities have recently noticed

01:34:40an increase in airbag theft

01:34:42on the driver's side.

01:34:44To fight this madness,

01:34:46the police advised people

01:34:48to park in well-lit areas,

01:34:50to lock their vehicle,

01:34:52to put their valuables

01:34:54and why not add a lock device

01:34:56to the steering wheel

01:34:58as a precaution.

01:35:00Some car thieves

01:35:02have also discovered

01:35:04a new superpower.

01:35:06Even if they have a X-ray vision

01:35:08or something like that,

01:35:10these cunning people can bypass

01:35:12the confidentiality of the windows

01:35:14of your car and get a clear view

01:35:16of your possessions,

01:35:18even without taking the slightest picture.

01:35:20Smartphones nowadays, right?

01:35:22In response, the authorities

01:35:24launched a campaign

01:35:26to hide them and not show them,

01:35:28reminding everyone to hide their valuables

01:35:30or, by default, to put them away.

01:35:32But wait, that's not all.

01:35:34We are also facing a new threat

01:35:36lurking around our vehicles.

01:35:38Do you know how it happens?

01:35:40Leaves, debris and other prospects

01:35:42are often found on our precious cars.

01:35:44Normally, we would not think about it

01:35:46and we would simply give

01:35:48a quick rag to our vehicles

01:35:50before going at full speed.

01:35:52However, you should think twice

01:35:54before taking care of it with your bare hands,

01:35:56even if it is only to pick up

01:35:58a waste that seems harmless.

01:36:00Why all this mess?

01:36:02Well, let's take a look

01:36:04at an incident that took place

01:36:06in Houston, Texas.

01:36:08Imagine this.

01:36:10A woman, just back from

01:36:12her birthday celebration

01:36:14in a local restaurant,

01:36:16returns to her car to find

01:36:18a paper towel stuck in the handle of her door.

01:36:20At first, she did not pay much attention

01:36:22and carelessly removed the towel,

01:36:24thinking it was just a dirt among so many others.

01:36:26But it turns out

01:36:28that things then took

01:36:30a very disturbing turn.

01:36:32Shortly after handling this suspicious towel,

01:36:34she began to feel

01:36:36tingles in her fingers.

01:36:38And before she knew it,

01:36:40all her arm was caught in the same tingles,

01:36:42leaving her a little fatigued.

01:36:44She began to have a spinning head

01:36:46and even had trouble breathing.

01:36:48Being a responsible person,

01:36:50her husband composed the 911 without waiting.

01:36:52She left for the hospital at full speed,

01:36:54racing against the clock

01:36:56to discover what could have caused

01:36:58more damage to her health.

01:37:00After six endless hours,

01:37:02the doctors finally diagnosed a high poisoning

01:37:04due to an unknown substance.

01:37:06They could not identify the exact nature

01:37:08of the latter,

01:37:10because the woman had only a small amount

01:37:12in her system.

01:37:14But even this small amount was enough

01:37:16to give her the impression of having embarked

01:37:18on the most radical ride in the amusement park.

01:37:20Imagine if she had rolled up this towel

01:37:22around her whole hand.

01:37:24It is better not to think about it.

01:37:26The doctor suggested that the incident

01:37:28related to this towel could have been

01:37:30an attempt to remove a part of her car.

01:37:32Wait, what?

01:37:34A kidnapping involving a towel

01:37:36and a door?

01:37:38It looks like the bad scenario

01:37:40of a low-budget comedy.

01:37:42But this is where things

01:37:44really get intriguing.

01:37:46The local police station,

01:37:48in its noble quest to solve the mystery,

01:37:50revealed that it had received no reports

01:37:52relating to similar incidents

01:37:54It is assumed that this little trickster

01:37:56did not hit again.

01:37:58Or at least, not yet.

01:38:00However, the police confirmed

01:38:02that the experience of this woman

01:38:04as well as her symptoms corresponded

01:38:06to many other poisoning cases.

01:38:08Of course, there are many other strategies

01:38:10to help you stay,

01:38:12you and your car, safe.

01:38:14Like when it comes to parking,

01:38:16the trick is to find the best place.

01:38:18Fortunately,

01:38:20specialists have some advice

01:38:22that will make you a real parking pro

01:38:24and will keep these important thieves away.

01:38:26First,

01:38:28if you are lucky enough to have a garage,

01:38:30always park your precious vehicle inside.

01:38:32But if you are on the move,

01:38:34it is advisable to find a well-open

01:38:36and well-lit place to park.

01:38:38You want your vehicle to be

01:38:40under the spotlight,

01:38:42not hidden in the shadows where some misdeeds

01:38:44may be lurking.

01:38:46Now, here is a little trick

01:38:48coming directly from a former burglar.

01:38:50I know all the tricks of the trade.

01:38:52When you park,

01:38:54turn your wheels to the sidewalk.

01:38:56I know, it sounds weird,

01:38:58but trust me, it's worth it.

01:39:00By doing this,

01:39:02you make life more difficult

01:39:04for these inopportune intruders.

01:39:06They will have to perform complicated maneuvers

01:39:08just to escape.

01:39:10And no one has time for that.

01:39:12And then, here is an additional tip for you.

01:39:14Try to find a parking

01:39:16that meets the Parkmark standard

01:39:18These parking lots are subject

01:39:20to a risk assessment by the police,

01:39:22so you know they are on the road.

01:39:24With these simple tips,

01:39:26you will park like a pro in no time.

01:39:28Nowadays, there is still

01:39:30a pernicious way for thieves

01:39:32to recover your vehicle,

01:39:34and this involves your precious key.

01:39:36So, let's try to be careful, okay?

01:39:38First of all,

01:39:40keep your keys well hidden.

01:39:42When you are at home,

01:39:44make sure they are out of sight

01:39:46You don't want thieves

01:39:48to go fishing

01:39:50with sticks and hooks

01:39:52through the slit of your mailbox,

01:39:54thus taking your keys.

01:39:56Now, let's talk about the keyless opening.

01:39:58You know,

01:40:00these sophisticated cars that unlock

01:40:02by themselves with a simple

01:40:04pressure of the proximity control?

01:40:06Well, if you still have to press

01:40:08a button on your key to open your car,

01:40:10you don't have a keyless opening.

01:40:12But don't worry,

01:40:14we will also cover this topic.

01:40:16Imagine this.

01:40:18You continue your day,

01:40:20taking care of your business,

01:40:22when suddenly a cunning thief

01:40:24arrives with a small device.

01:40:26This sneaky machine deceives your car

01:40:28by making it believe that your key is right there,

01:40:30unlocking it faster than you can imagine.

01:40:32They can even start the engine

01:40:34and run away in the setting sun

01:40:36with your beloved vehicle.

01:40:38Believe it or not,

01:40:40these damned thieves

01:40:42can even steal your car keys

01:40:44to get their signal.

01:40:46This means that they can perform their magic

01:40:48even if your key flows gently

01:40:50inside your house,

01:40:52safely.

01:40:54Don't be afraid,

01:40:56because there are a few tricks

01:40:58to protect your car

01:41:00from a keyless opening

01:41:02as well as a fortress.

01:41:04When you are at home,

01:41:06keep this precious key

01:41:08and its double

01:41:10to block any signal leak.

01:41:12See it as giving your key

01:41:14a small invisible shield

01:41:16to protect it from these cunning thieves

01:41:18who sniff the signals.

01:41:20Here is another pro tip.

01:41:22If you decide one day to add

01:41:24a used car to your beloved car,

01:41:26give these keys a little lifting.

01:41:28Reprogramming them will ensure

01:41:30that all the old signals

01:41:32or unpleasant surprises left by the former owner

01:41:34will be erased.

01:41:36To ensure that your car is always safe,

01:41:38we must also address

01:41:40this much less pleasant subject.

01:41:42The fake dealers.

01:41:44These thieves full of resources

01:41:46think they can appropriate

01:41:48your precious vehicle

01:41:50directly in the street.

01:41:52Here are some tips

01:41:54explaining how to keep

01:41:56a long lead on these pirates

01:41:58in the parking lot.

01:42:00First of all,

01:42:02keep an eye on any

01:42:04suspicious team of dealers.

01:42:06If anything

01:42:08does not seem right to you,

01:42:10do not hesitate to report it immediately.

01:42:12Now I know what you think.

01:42:14But what if I am wrong

01:42:16and it turns out to be a false alert?

01:42:18We should all be of good faith

01:42:20and no one should blame you

01:42:22if you make mistakes on the person.

01:42:24Better to warn than to heal, right?

01:42:37One day,

01:42:39Ross Macpherson's hand,

01:42:41a Scottish teenager,

01:42:43suddenly turned red

01:42:45and began to hurt him terribly.

01:42:47Shortly after,

01:42:49a painful clock appeared.

01:42:51It was the size of an orange.

01:42:53It became very difficult for Ross

01:42:55to dress himself.

01:42:57The discomfort was intolerable

01:42:59and he needed emergency medical help

01:43:01to escape this calamity.

01:43:03It turned out that he had accidentally

01:43:05made a bike near his house.

01:43:07This nightmare had been caused

01:43:09by a very dangerous plant.

01:43:11The coca berry.

01:43:13The coca berry is a kind

01:43:15of toxic plant that looks like

01:43:17many others and is known

01:43:19as the most dangerous plant

01:43:21in Great Britain.

01:43:23Surprisingly, it belongs

01:43:25to the carrot family.

01:43:27It is native to the coca region,

01:43:29hence the name.

01:43:31People particularly appreciated it

01:43:33for its appearance.

01:43:35It began to be cultivated

01:43:37in orchard gardens.

01:43:39Then, all of a sudden,

01:43:41we discovered that the plant

01:43:43was extremely toxic.

01:43:45In the 1980s,

01:43:47it was officially forbidden

01:43:49in the gardens of England.

01:43:51The berry of the coca tree

01:43:53grows today near rivers

01:43:55and canals.

01:43:57Recently,

01:43:59it began to reappear

01:44:01and many people

01:44:03have started to spend

01:44:05more time in their gardens.

01:44:07It looks like a bigger

01:44:09and more dangerous cousin

01:44:11of the wild cherry tree

01:44:13or the fig tree.

01:44:15It also has long stems

01:44:17and leaves,

01:44:19but these stems are quite large

01:44:21with large white flowers

01:44:23in the form of umbrellas

01:44:25at the top.

01:44:27To see the difference,

01:44:29you have to look at the leaves

01:44:31of the fig tree.

01:44:33The leaves of the fig tree

01:44:35are very thick

01:44:37and iridescent white,

01:44:39rigid and have well-marked

01:44:41arches.

01:44:43You could notice

01:44:45purple spots on these stems,

01:44:47like in figs,

01:44:49but this plant grows

01:44:51much higher and has

01:44:53fewer leaves.

01:44:55Its caps can stretch

01:44:57for a long time,

01:44:59which means that

01:45:01even years later,

01:45:03your skin could still react

01:45:05negatively to sunlight.

01:45:07Thus,

01:45:09if you have the misfortune

01:45:11to touch it and expose yourself

01:45:13to the sun,

01:45:15you will end up having

01:45:17serious burns

01:45:19that form clots

01:45:21and take a long time

01:45:23to heal.

01:45:25If this plant comes into contact

01:45:27with your eyes,

01:45:29it could even make you blind.

01:45:31You should therefore be

01:45:33particularly careful in summer

01:45:35when the plant is most active.

01:45:37Remember that you can be affected

01:45:39even if you wear clothes

01:45:41or shoes.

01:45:43Try to stay away

01:45:45from everything that seems

01:45:47suspicious to you.

01:45:49Symptoms can include

01:45:51a skin rash,

01:45:53but you should see a doctor

01:45:55especially if you notice clots.

01:45:57The first care consists of

01:45:59cleaning the affected area

01:46:01with water and soap

01:46:03and covering it with a bandage.

01:46:05There are other

01:46:07extremely toxic plants

01:46:09that could crawl into your garden

01:46:11or your neighborhood

01:46:13while looking pretty

01:46:15and harmless.

01:46:17Do not let yourself be abused

01:46:19by the beauty of the digital.

01:46:21All parts of the digital are toxic.

01:46:23If you eat the leaves,

01:46:25you could have a stomach ache,

01:46:27nausea, vomiting,

01:46:29or even worse.

01:46:31In the worst cases,

01:46:33it can even disturb your vision

01:46:35and cause you hereditary heart problems.

01:46:37Belladonna is one of the most toxic plants.

01:46:39Do not eat it.

01:46:41Any of these berries

01:46:43contain enough tropanic alkaloids

01:46:45to be fatal to an adult.

01:46:47It can be found in the woods,

01:46:49but it is not as common

01:46:51as it used to be.

01:46:53Its family is quite large,

01:46:55including tomatoes,

01:46:57potatoes, peppers,

01:46:59aubergines, peppers,

01:47:01and jusquiam.

01:47:03Despite its frightening nature,

01:47:05it is possible to extract an antidote

01:47:07for the neurotoxic gas.

01:47:09So, although it is dangerous,

01:47:11it also has a unique quality

01:47:13offering many medicinal uses.

01:47:15And finally comes the saffron mint,

01:47:17also known as the devil's finger.

01:47:19It is a very common plant

01:47:21around rivers and lakes.

01:47:23Just like the coca berry,

01:47:25it is related to the acigu,

01:47:27another toxic plant.

01:47:29The acigu is a very dangerous plant in itself.

01:47:31It can be fatal if you ingest it,

01:47:33and it contains 5 different alkaloids

01:47:35capable of causing a serious

01:47:37paralysis of the nervous system.

01:47:39What is even worse,

01:47:41is that it is often found in the wild

01:47:43around quite populated areas.

01:47:45The saffron mint, however,

01:47:47thrives in different places

01:47:49and presents different toxins.

01:47:51Each part of the saffron mint,

01:47:53including its tubercles, stems and leaves,

01:47:55contains a powerful poison

01:47:57called enantotoxin.

01:47:59This poison targets the central nervous system

01:48:01and can cause serious convulsions.

01:48:03These two plants are therefore

01:48:05not to be taken lightly.

01:48:07These are only relatively toxic plants,

01:48:09but there are also those

01:48:11that are considered the most dangerous in the world.

01:48:13Laconite, also known as

01:48:15tuelloupe or Minerva helmet,

01:48:17is one of the most toxic in Europe.

01:48:19The mere fact of touching it

01:48:21can be disastrous due to its powerful neurotoxin.

01:48:23The saffron mint

01:48:25is found all over the American continent.

01:48:27The sap of this tree can burn your skin

01:48:29and its leaves as well as its fruits

01:48:31are deadly.

01:48:35Ricin is native to Africa.

01:48:37The seeds of this shrub contain ricin,

01:48:39a toxin that would be 6,000 times

01:48:41more powerful than cyanide.

01:48:43But it also has an advantage.

01:48:45Ricin oil can be extracted from these seeds.

01:48:47Paternosteria beans

01:48:49are used in joaillerie,

01:48:51but they contain a toxin called

01:48:53abryne, which is extremely powerful.

01:48:55So be careful

01:48:57with such accessories.

01:48:59The pink laurel is a widespread ornamental plant.

01:49:01However, it contains

01:49:03toxins that make it very dangerous.

01:49:05Although the intoxication

01:49:07is a bit common,

01:49:09the plant is so bitter

01:49:11that no one would want to eat it in large quantities.

01:49:13The deadly cases are therefore rare.

01:49:15The jimpy jimpy

01:49:17is a plant native to Australia,

01:49:19New Zealand, Indonesia and Malaysia.

01:49:21The plant has a funny name,

01:49:23but its stinging hairs

01:49:25cause a terrible gout that lasts months

01:49:27or even years.

01:49:29And finally, the potato plant,

01:49:31although it is not as toxic as others,

01:49:33can be harmful if it is not consumed.

01:49:35The green parts of the potato plant

01:49:37contain toxins such as solanine

01:49:39and chaconine.

01:49:41Getting rid of toxic plants

01:49:43that grow in your garden

01:49:45is crucial,

01:49:47even if it is not always legally required.

01:49:49Especially because they could

01:49:51spread in nature,

01:49:53giving a whole other scale to the problem.

01:49:55Here's what you can do

01:49:57to get rid of them safely.

01:49:59First, wear protective equipment

01:50:01like gloves and masks.

01:50:03Cover your skin entirely

01:50:05so that nothing can touch it.

01:50:07Make sure to throw this equipment away later

01:50:09or wash it immediately with the greatest care.

01:50:11Be careful not to let toxic plants bloom.

01:50:13Try to get rid of them

01:50:15when they are still small

01:50:17and tear them off when the ground is wet.

01:50:19As for larger plants,

01:50:21you may have to root them

01:50:23with a fork.

01:50:29Finally, make sure

01:50:31to get rid of the plant properly.

01:50:33Do not throw it anywhere

01:50:35because it can spread and cause more problems.

01:50:37And stay on guard in the future

01:50:39because it can produce a lot of seeds

01:50:41that last a very long time.

01:50:43There is no need to panic

01:50:45if you notice them in your garden.

01:50:47Just be prudent and take the measures

01:50:49that are necessary if you find them

01:50:51on your property.

01:50:53If you see them in your community,

01:50:55call specialized services

01:50:57to tear them down.

01:50:59Fortunately,

01:51:01deadly cases are very rare

01:51:03and even if you accidentally touch the plant,

01:51:05you should not have to worry

01:51:07about going to the doctor as soon as possible.

01:51:09But why are some plants

01:51:11so dangerous?

01:51:13Everything is a matter of chemistry

01:51:15and the evolution of plants over time.

01:51:17They develop toxins to prevent

01:51:19being consumed by herbivores.

01:51:21If a plant is slightly more toxic

01:51:23than its neighbors,

01:51:25it has a better chance of survival

01:51:27because the animals will avoid it.

01:51:29Plants have become dangerous

01:51:31in order to repel

01:51:33the great ancient herbivores

01:51:35such as mammoths, hyenas or orcs,

01:51:37but not humans.

01:51:39As a result, these toxins

01:51:41are not often deadly.

01:51:43The plant was only trying

01:51:45to make those who ate it sick

01:51:47so that they did not realize

01:51:49to try the experiment again.

01:51:51Today, these great animals

01:51:53have gone extinct

01:51:55and no one touches

01:51:57their plants.

01:51:59The only thing we can do

01:52:01is to stay as far away

01:52:03as possible from them.

01:52:05Covered with curly brown hair

01:52:07and with nine pairs of frizzed legs,

01:52:09the witch's pyral,

01:52:11or Phobetron pithacium,

01:52:13is not like the other caterpillars.

01:52:15Its velvety appearance

01:52:17has earned it the nickname

01:52:19of the monkey lima.

01:52:21We find this strange insect

01:52:23in North America

01:52:25and its hair is connected

01:52:27to toxic glands

01:52:29located under the caterpillar's skin.

01:52:31If you are curious enough

01:52:33to reach out and touch its hair,

01:52:35your hand will instantly turn red

01:52:37and you will feel a burning

01:52:39and chewing sensation,

01:52:41a bit like a bee sting.

01:52:43If you have been stung

01:52:45by the witch's pyral,

01:52:47you must immediately pass

01:52:49the sting under the water

01:52:51to remove the hair

01:52:53from all ant species.

01:52:55It does not exceed

01:52:57the size of a centimeter.

01:52:59You will be more likely

01:53:01to encounter this ant

01:53:03in countries like Nicaragua

01:53:05and Paraguay,

01:53:07in the heart of tropical forests.

01:53:09Despite being small,

01:53:11its sting is up to 30 times

01:53:13more painful than the sting

01:53:15of a wasp or a bee.

01:53:17The inhabitants of the region

01:53:19sometimes call this little insect

01:53:21a bulletproof ant

01:53:23and should heal in a week.

01:53:25These ants have a particular habit

01:53:27that could easily prevent

01:53:29their powerful sting.

01:53:31They emit a smell as strong

01:53:33as disgusting

01:53:35to make predators flee.

01:53:37So if you find yourself

01:53:39one day trekking

01:53:41in the tropical forest

01:53:43and you smell an intensely

01:53:45unpleasant smell,

01:53:47do not approach.

01:53:49Ants have a particular pattern

01:53:51on their backs.

01:53:53And beware,

01:53:55these insects are all but cute.

01:53:57They are generally found

01:53:59in the hot states of the south

01:54:01of the United States

01:54:03and these little animals

01:54:05hide everywhere,

01:54:07in cracks,

01:54:09under beds and in furniture.

01:54:11These insects are nicknamed

01:54:13damn vampires

01:54:15because they only come out

01:54:17when they are hungry.

01:54:19These insects are also

01:54:21carriers of a dangerous parasite

01:54:23that seriously affects

01:54:25most humans.

01:54:27If you ever get stung

01:54:29by a Triatominae,

01:54:31make sure to consult

01:54:33your doctor as soon as possible.

01:54:35The giant hornet is the largest

01:54:37species of hornet in the world.

01:54:39It has yellow and black stripes.

01:54:41Its size and shape allow

01:54:43to distinguish it from bees and wasps.

01:54:45These hornets live in Japan

01:54:47where they move in colonies

01:54:49with up to 700 individuals.

01:54:51People who have already

01:54:53been stung by the giant hornet

01:54:55compare this to being burned

01:54:57by a burning smoker.

01:54:59If you are unlucky enough

01:55:01to be stung by one of these insects,

01:55:03immediately call an ambulance

01:55:05and, while waiting for your arrival,

01:55:07wash the stinger in cold water.

01:55:09The black-winged spider is one

01:55:11of the most notably dangerous

01:55:13species of hornet.

01:55:15Its red marks on the spider's belly

01:55:17allow to distinguish it easily.

01:55:19These insects often move alone

01:55:21and can be found in hot regions

01:55:23in dark and dry shelters

01:55:25such as basements or garages.

01:55:27Black-winged spiders are considered

01:55:29as the most venomous spiders in France

01:55:31as well as in North America.

01:55:33Their venom is 15 times more powerful

01:55:35than that of a snake.

01:55:37Strangely, the sting of a black-winged spider

01:55:39is not particularly painful.

01:55:41If you encounter a black-winged spider

01:55:43in your cellar, don't annoy it

01:55:45because it only stings

01:55:47if it is stung.

01:55:49If you get stung,

01:55:51go immediately to the emergency room.

01:55:53Doctors can offer you

01:55:55a black-winged antivenin

01:55:57that reduces the symptoms of stinging.

01:55:59The common wasp is a dangerous

01:56:01species of wasp that can be found

01:56:03all over the world.

01:56:05Its yellow and black patterns

01:56:07are clearly visible.

01:56:09Black-winged spiders live in large colonies

01:56:11and build their nests in trees, bushes

01:56:13and even underground.

01:56:15If you come across a wasp nest,

01:56:17move away slowly and be careful

01:56:19not to threaten or annoy them.

01:56:21Their sting is certainly not a pleasant sensation.

01:56:23While many people think

01:56:25that scorpions are related to crabs

01:56:27and other crustaceans,

01:56:29this is not the case.

01:56:31Scorpions are a type of arachnid,

01:56:33which means they are closely related to spiders.

01:56:35We tend to find them in hot and dry climates

01:56:37Scorpions come out most often at night

01:56:39and are known predators for stinging at sight.

01:56:41Their sting is similar to that of a wasp,

01:56:43but it can be much more dangerous.

01:56:45Scorpion stings tend to accelerate

01:56:47the heart rate and cause

01:56:49respiratory difficulties.

01:56:51If a scorpion stings you,

01:56:53wash immediately the wound

01:56:55and contact a health professional

01:56:57who can administer an antivenin treatment

01:56:59against scorpion stings.

01:57:01There are a little less than 300 different

01:57:03Solenopsis ants in the world.

01:57:05All species have the same powerful sting.

01:57:07These are tiny insects

01:57:09that move in large colonies

01:57:11and have a distinct light brown color,

01:57:13almost red.

01:57:15These fire ants are mainly found in the United States

01:57:17and are attracted by food.

01:57:19They tend to nest in many picnics

01:57:21to which they are not invited.

01:57:23The sting of this ant is incredibly irritating,

01:57:25but fortunately not very dangerous.

01:57:27Spending the sting under cold water

01:57:29should help to calm the stings

01:57:31and the sting should disappear in about a week.

01:57:33If you have a worse reaction

01:57:35than stings,

01:57:37make sure to see your doctor as soon as possible.

01:57:39Honey bees are one of the insects

01:57:41we love the most.

01:57:43They pollinate our flowers,

01:57:45make the delicious honey we eat

01:57:47and usually leave us alone.

01:57:49Honey bees are social insects

01:57:51that live in large colonies.

01:57:53Surprisingly, the sting of an ordinary honey bee

01:57:55can be extremely dangerous for some people,

01:57:57especially the elderly.

01:57:59If a bee stings you,

01:58:01immediately remove the dart

01:58:03that will be lodged in your skin.

01:58:05Wash the area with water and soap.

01:58:07The sting should heal in a week.

01:58:09If you suffer from worse conditions,

01:58:11you must immediately consult a doctor.

01:58:13Pepsi wasps are long, thin insects

01:58:15with beautiful rusty-colored wings

01:58:17and yellow antennas.

01:58:19They are mainly found in tropical forests

01:58:21in Asia, America and Africa.

01:58:23They tend to live on the ground

01:58:25and make their nest by digging into the ground.

01:58:27If you ever come across a Pepsi wasp,

01:58:29you must move away very slowly.

01:58:31These insects only attack if they feel a threat.

01:58:33We think that Pepsi wasps

01:58:35are one of the most painful stings in the world.

01:58:37The pain is incredibly intense

01:58:39and lasts from 3 to 4 minutes.

01:58:41Once this time has passed,

01:58:43the sting will not require urgent sound

01:58:45and should heal itself.

01:58:47The warbler wasp is a particular species.

01:58:49Unlike other wasps,

01:58:51the warbler wasp has no yellow stripes

01:58:53but is entirely black.

01:58:55So black that it almost looks blue.

01:58:57Some people call this insect

01:58:59the drumming wasp.

01:59:01When a stranger approaches,

01:59:03the wasps flap their wings in a synchronized way

01:59:05like the drums of a fanfare.

01:59:07The warbler wasps prefer warmer climates

01:59:09and can be found in tropical forests

01:59:11in South America.

01:59:13Of all the wasps, the warbler wasp

01:59:15has the most painful sting.

01:59:17However, it does not require any emergency medical help

01:59:19and should heal in a week.

01:59:21You can find the Amazon giant millipede

01:59:23in tropical climates

01:59:25of South America and the Caribbean.

01:59:27Of a characteristic red color,

01:59:29it is the largest millipede

01:59:31in the world and can measure

01:59:33up to 30 cm long.

01:59:35The giant millipede has a dangerous venom

01:59:37for other insects and smaller animals

01:59:39but does not pose any danger to humans.

01:59:41However, its sting is always unpleasant

01:59:43and causes a burning sensation.

01:59:45If you get stung by one of these insects,

01:59:47the symptoms can last

01:59:49from a few hours to a few days.

01:59:51And if your reaction is more serious,

01:59:53you know what to do.

01:59:55Go see your doctor.

01:59:57You open your mailbox

01:59:59and you see a drying sheet.

02:00:01It is useless in there,

02:00:03so you remove it.

02:00:05Is not it? Error!

02:00:07Leave it where it is.

02:00:09You will do a great service to your factor.

02:00:11Here's why.

02:00:13You may think that dogs are the only creatures

02:00:15that cause problems to the factor

02:00:17when they distribute your mail

02:00:19and you are not completely wrong.

02:00:21More than 800 American factors

02:00:23have killed unpleasant messes

02:00:25with dogs in 2020.

02:00:27But they are not the only discomfort

02:00:29for the factors that just try

02:00:31to make their rounds safely.

02:00:33Factors often leave their drying sheets

02:00:35in mailboxes to protect themselves

02:00:37from geese.

02:00:39It may seem weird, but on average

02:00:41a person can expect to be stung

02:00:43by a geese about five times in his life.

02:00:45And it's a much more likely event

02:00:47than being bitten by a dog.

02:00:49But why does the drying sheet

02:00:51keep geese away?

02:00:53It's quite simple.

02:00:55Geese can not stand its smell.

02:00:57It is far too intense for them,

02:00:59so they move away as soon as possible.

02:01:01It is rather logical,

02:01:03given that the drying sheets

02:01:05are intended to refresh our clothes

02:01:07and give them a good smell.

02:01:09So we can expect

02:01:11that they have a strong scent.

02:01:13And let's be frank,

02:01:15it's just a minor disturbance

02:01:17On average, geese

02:01:19have an extremely short life span.

02:01:21Most of them do not live

02:01:23more than 22 days.

02:01:25Of course, this does not apply to the queen,

02:01:27who sometimes lives up to a whole year.

02:01:29It is also funny to think

02:01:31that geese, although they live

02:01:33so little time,

02:01:35probably have more to do

02:01:37with the factors that try to avoid them

02:01:39than with their queen so revered.

02:01:41It is because their 22 days of life

02:01:43are entirely dedicated to work.

02:01:45They each have their own role,

02:01:47which revolves around the construction

02:01:49of a suitable nest to ensure

02:01:51the protection of the queen.

02:01:53In the nest, there are two types of geese.

02:01:55The false burdens,

02:01:57which are the males,

02:01:59and the workers, which are the females.

02:02:01The latter are extremely diligent creatures.

02:02:03The workers begin their lives

02:02:05by helping to feed the larvae

02:02:07in development.

02:02:09The larva is an immature insect,

02:02:11freshly hatched from the egg,

02:02:13which has not yet taken its adult form.

02:02:15This stage of the worker geese's life

02:02:17usually lasts 3 to 4 days.

02:02:19After that,

02:02:21they begin to perform tasks

02:02:23that involve getting out of the nest,

02:02:25such as fetching water

02:02:27or bringing wood materials

02:02:29from which the nests are made.

02:02:31The water they bring is then spat

02:02:33by the worker geese

02:02:35and used to enlarge the entrance.

02:02:37The water mixes with the material

02:02:39that must be removed

02:02:41and is then transported out of the nest.

02:02:43The worker geese

02:02:45will then concentrate on building

02:02:47the nest itself,

02:02:49before playing the role

02:02:51of food collector.

02:02:53Geese get their energy

02:02:55from nectar or honey

02:02:57and their protein from insects

02:02:59or animals.

02:03:01And to further prove the altruistic nature

02:03:03of these little workers,

02:03:05they don't even have the necessary enzymes

02:03:07in their bodies to allow them

02:03:09to feed themselves.

02:03:11The majority of the food they bring

02:03:13is intended for undeveloped geese,

02:03:15known as larvae,

02:03:17of which we have just spoken.

02:03:19Fortunately, the worker geese

02:03:21receive a kind of reward

02:03:23for their diligence.

02:03:25From the food that the larvae digest,

02:03:27they obtain a creamy substance

02:03:29that looks like a soup.

02:03:31This substance contains all the energy

02:03:33that the worker geese need

02:03:35to continue to accomplish their tasks.

02:03:37This is a key element

02:03:39of the social contact

02:03:41between the workers and the young larvae

02:03:43in development.

02:03:45During most food-seeking trips,

02:03:47the worker geese move away

02:03:49up to 300 meters from the nest,

02:03:51but studies have shown

02:03:53that some trips can last

02:03:55more than 800 meters.

02:03:57The worker geese even follow

02:03:59the source of known food.

02:04:01They usually end their life

02:04:03inside the nest,

02:04:05but they assume their ultimate role,

02:04:07which is to keep the entrance of the nest.

02:04:09How does the life of a female worker geese

02:04:11compare to that of a male faux-bourdon?

02:04:13Well, their male counterparts

02:04:15are actually quite lazy

02:04:17in comparison,

02:04:19despite their larger size.

02:04:21Faux-bourdons on average

02:04:23measure more than 1 cm in length,

02:04:25while female worker geese

02:04:27are generally smaller than 1 cm.

02:04:29Faux-bourdons are also more colorful,

02:04:31have long falling antennas

02:04:33and have the ability to sting.

02:04:35The queen is larger than everyone

02:04:37and measures about 2.5 cm in length.

02:04:39Why do we say

02:04:41that faux-bourdons are lazy?

02:04:43Well, while the worker geese

02:04:45are out looking for wood,

02:04:47water or food,

02:04:49we can often find the faux-bourdons

02:04:51hot in the nest,

02:04:53putting their heads in empty cells

02:04:55with only their visible tails.

02:04:57Do they do something for the common good?

02:04:59Not really.

02:05:01When they don't take a nap,

02:05:03we know that they help

02:05:05to distribute the food to the larvae

02:05:07by going from cell to cell

02:05:09and by putting the meals

02:05:11in their open mouths.

02:05:13Faux-bourdons,

02:05:15most of which weigh between

02:05:1710 and 19 mg,

02:05:19also try to do their job

02:05:21in a different way.

02:05:23They carry and eliminate

02:05:25the waste that can accumulate

02:05:27inside the nest.

02:05:29After 3 to 4 months,

02:05:31they disintegrate in winter

02:05:33when the new queens fly away

02:05:35to hibernate.

02:05:37The rest of the geese

02:05:39and the nest itself

02:05:41struggle to survive

02:05:43in the harsh winter conditions.

02:05:45Just like the new queens,

02:05:47studies have shown that

02:05:49only 2 out of 4,500 queens

02:05:51manage to get through

02:05:53the hibernation period.

02:05:55It's not just because

02:05:57of the lack of food,

02:05:59but also because of the

02:06:01lack of oxygen.

02:06:03They carefully put their antennas

02:06:05between their legs

02:06:07and bite any surface

02:06:09in front of them

02:06:11in order to hang tight.

02:06:13This makes them extremely vulnerable

02:06:15to other insects,

02:06:17like spiders.

02:06:19But the lucky queens,

02:06:21who enjoy a long sleep

02:06:23during the hibernation period,

02:06:25often have to deal with

02:06:27the attic and the roofs.

02:06:29The queen will then produce

02:06:31new workers and new fake burdons

02:06:33and the life cycle of the geese will repeat.

02:06:35If you come across a geese nest,

02:06:37it's better to leave it alone.

02:06:39You can't always know

02:06:41what kind of reaction

02:06:43you will make to a bite of these creatures.

02:06:45And who says that only one will bite you?

02:06:47An average geese nest

02:06:49can contain up to 10,000 members

02:06:51during the peak of summer.

02:06:53It is preferable to leave the nest

02:06:55at the service of the antivirus.

02:06:57But what precautions can you take

02:06:59to avoid any unfortunate encounter

02:07:01with geese?

02:07:03We should thank the factors

02:07:05that made us sensitive to the drying leaves.

02:07:07But what else can we do?

02:07:09You can start by not letting

02:07:11food drag on.

02:07:13This is the main magnet for geese.

02:07:15Whether it's food full of protein,

02:07:17like chicken, or sweets

02:07:19like ice cream.

02:07:21You can use it to cover

02:07:23the food you keep for later

02:07:25and to store the leftovers

02:07:27as soon as you finish eating.

02:07:29While geese hate the smell

02:07:31of drying leaves,

02:07:33things like flowers and fruits

02:07:35like their smell a lot.

02:07:37You have to be careful

02:07:39about the perfume, lotion

02:07:41or hair care products you use.

02:07:43Geese can confuse them with nectar

02:07:45when they are looking for food.

02:07:47You can also have practical sense

02:07:49against geese.

02:07:51You can use your clothes to your advantage.

02:07:53Wear long sleeves and pants.

02:07:55Don't wear sandals.

02:07:57You can avoid drawing

02:07:59the attention of any geese

02:08:01by wearing red clothes

02:08:03because it's the only color of the rainbow

02:08:05they can't see.

02:08:07And the most important,

02:08:09even if it's easier to say than to do,

02:08:11is to stay calm.

02:08:13Research has shown that

02:08:15shaking hands, panicking

02:08:17when a geese is close to you

02:08:19increases the risk of getting stung.

02:08:21In the meantime,

02:08:23keep helping us

02:08:25and leave your drying leaves

02:08:27where they are.

02:08:29This tree has a bark,

02:08:31leaves and even toxic seeds.

02:08:33Even worse,

02:08:35these seeds can explode.

02:08:37And it's not the kind of experience

02:08:39you want to live when you travel

02:08:41in Central America.

02:08:43Here is the Bombardier tree,

02:08:456 meters high, covered with conical spines.

02:08:47The tree looks unique

02:08:49because its fruits look like small pumpkins

02:08:51but don't get close to it

02:08:53and don't touch it.

02:08:55Be content to contemplate it from afar.

02:08:57Once its fruits look like pumpkins

02:08:59melt, they explode

02:09:01and release the famous seeds

02:09:03that are propelled at about 70 meters per second,

02:09:05which is enough to hurt you.

02:09:07But hey,

02:09:09the Bombardier tree is not so mean.

02:09:11It just doesn't want competition.

02:09:13That's why it does everything it can

02:09:15to send its seeds as far as possible,

02:09:17that is, at about 40 meters.

02:09:19Some trees are so dangerous

02:09:21that they even have a warning sign

02:09:23like, for example,

02:09:25the Mansonnier.

02:09:27However, it seems completely harmless

02:09:29and its fruits look like ordinary apples.

02:09:31But eating such an apple

02:09:33may be the last thing you will do

02:09:35in your life.

02:09:37It's very serious.

02:09:39Touching this tree is not without danger

02:09:41like looking at it.

02:09:43And if you try to cut it,

02:09:45you will be punished instantly.

02:09:47It responds by spreading a blinding substance

02:09:49directly in your eyes.

02:09:51This sap can cause temporary blindness

02:09:53and if it comes into contact with the skin,

02:09:55you will have burns and blisters.

02:09:57There is only one way

02:09:59to tame this tree.

02:10:01First, you have to burn it at its base

02:10:03by staying very far away for more safety.

02:10:05Then, you let the tree fall

02:10:07and dry in the sun

02:10:09You can safely use it

02:10:11when it is dry.

02:10:13There are even Mansonnier wood furniture

02:10:15that are toxic to use.

02:10:17So be careful of the chair

02:10:19you sit on.

02:10:21And now, what is this thing?

02:10:23Scientists call it the Jatropha fruit.

02:10:25But it is also known

02:10:27as a vomiting black walnut.

02:10:29If you try to eat it,

02:10:31the first thing you will feel

02:10:33will be a burning sensation in the throat.

02:10:35Once it has reached your stomach,

02:10:37you will have violent stomach aches.

02:10:39The result can be terrible.

02:10:41It can cause a serious depression

02:10:43of the central nervous system

02:10:45and it is not a sign of sadness.

02:10:47It is a physiological state

02:10:49where the breathing is affected,

02:10:51the heart rate is decreased

02:10:53and you can even lose consciousness

02:10:55without talking about the worst sequelae.

02:10:57Look at these heart-shaped leaves.

02:10:59They are so pretty.

02:11:01However, the fruit of this tree

02:11:03is not so harmless.

02:11:05This tree is native to Southeast Asia

02:11:07and its fruit can be eaten,

02:11:09but it requires a lot of preparation.

02:11:11First,

02:11:13you have to catch these brownish grapes

02:11:15that look like pears.

02:11:17These are the fruits.

02:11:19Then, you have to reach the seeds

02:11:21through the pulp that looks sweet,

02:11:23creamy and maybe edible,

02:11:25but it is not.

02:11:27Then, you have to boil them.

02:11:29Thirdly, you have to soak them

02:11:31or wrap them in banana leaves

02:11:33so that the oxygen is released.

02:11:35Fortunately, this substance is soluble in water

02:11:37and can be somehow eliminated

02:11:39once the seeds are boiled and fermented.

02:11:41But why give yourself so much trouble?

02:11:43These seeds are actually added

02:11:45to some dishes to give them

02:11:47taste like a spice.

02:11:49Some fruits require a lot of preparation,

02:11:51while others can only be consumed

02:11:53when they are 100% ripe.

02:11:55Raw syrup is rich in vitamin C,

02:11:57which is good for health,

02:11:59and cyanide,

02:12:01which is clearly not good.

02:12:03However, these berries are very appreciated.

02:12:05You can find them in tarts,

02:12:07syrups, teas, jams

02:12:09and many other things.

02:12:11Entirely ripe and cooked berries

02:12:13are fortunately not dangerous.

02:12:15Ake, a Jamaican national fruit,

02:12:17has a really unique taste.

02:12:19It is soft and buttery,

02:12:21and people who have tasted it

02:12:23say that it tastes the same as boiled eggs.

02:12:25Just like for syrup berries,

02:12:27you can only eat ake if it is very ripe.

02:12:29The import of raw ake

02:12:31was banned in the United States

02:12:33nearly 50 years ago.

02:12:35The only edible part is the white,

02:12:37creamy flesh itself.

02:12:39The pink flesh looks appetizing,

02:12:41but it is not.

02:12:43It is highly toxic.

02:12:45The same goes for black seeds.

02:12:47Fun fact, people used to use ake

02:12:49to clean their clothes

02:12:51thanks to its whitening properties.

02:12:53Fruit seeds contain saponins

02:12:55that can create the foam

02:12:57of the skin.

02:12:59However, this product is no longer

02:13:01as popular, and very few people

02:13:03prefer it to manufactured soap.

02:13:05Corosol is another fruit

02:13:07that is forbidden to import.

02:13:09It is also called guanabana

02:13:11and can release dangerous toxins

02:13:13with very unpleasant consequences

02:13:15if it is not ripe.

02:13:17If you really want to taste it,

02:13:19there are chances that you will find

02:13:21frozen corosol pulp in the market.

02:13:23The fruit itself is delicious.

02:13:25However, this fruit is not approved

02:13:27by the American Food Agency

02:13:29due to the risk it poses

02:13:31to health.

02:13:33But if you ever eat corosol,

02:13:35don't forget to avoid seeds

02:13:37because they are toxic to humans.

02:13:39Here is a mango, delicious and safe.

02:13:41Now, look at this fruit.

02:13:43It looks a bit like a mango

02:13:45when it is green,

02:13:47but you certainly don't want to eat it.

02:13:49This fruit grows on what is called

02:13:51the suicide tree,

02:13:53where only a human being

02:13:55needs to die.

02:13:57But who said you had to eat them?

02:13:59They can be used as deodorants.

02:14:01However, there are safer options,

02:14:03so it would be better to leave

02:14:05this tree alone.

02:14:07From an arboreal point of view,

02:14:09a tree does not necessarily have to be toxic

02:14:11to be dangerous.

02:14:13The bunia bunia, for example,

02:14:15has giant bread apples

02:14:17bigger than your head.

02:14:19So imagine the size of the spines.

02:14:21For the rest,

02:14:23the bunia bunia is rather harmless.

02:14:25If you boil its spines,

02:14:27you will get a very tasty tea.

02:14:29The spines are also gluten-free,

02:14:31so they can be part of any

02:14:33fashionable diet.

02:14:35This tree has existed for a long time,

02:14:37since the dinosaurs roamed the planet,

02:14:39but today it is almost endemic

02:14:41to the state of Queensland in Australia.

02:14:43Everyone knows that it is the dose

02:14:45that makes the poison, doesn't it?

02:14:47The milkweed is another proof

02:14:49of this saying.

02:14:51It can be extremely useful for medicinal purposes

02:14:53or extremely toxic

02:14:55when it is misused.

02:14:57However, it may not only be the dose,

02:14:59but also the chemical composition

02:15:01that makes the poison.

02:15:03The sap of this tree

02:15:05can cause clots, burns

02:15:07and even a temporary ceaselessness,

02:15:09just like that of the mansonite tree.

02:15:11That's why people sometimes call it

02:15:13the straw that makes you blind.

02:15:15The bottle tree is mainly found in Namibia,

02:15:17but if you travel to this desert country

02:15:19and you are thirsty,

02:15:21don't be fooled by its appearance.

02:15:23It does not contain water that you can drink.

02:15:25The bottle tree gets its famous shape

02:15:27after 5 to 8 years,

02:15:29which allows it to retain water.

02:15:31But if you dare to taste it,

02:15:33the consequences can be fatal.

02:15:35It is very toxic for humans and animals.

02:15:37Without the toxins contained in the water,

02:15:39the tree could not maintain its humidity

02:15:41because the animals would take it.

02:15:43To avoid this,

02:15:45the bottle tree has developed

02:15:47a kind of protection mechanism,

02:15:49mainly against animals

02:15:51and apparently against some humans too,

02:15:53to stay well hydrated.

02:15:55The last tree on our list,

02:15:57but not the least,

02:15:59is the jimpy jimpy.

02:16:01You've probably seen an orchid

02:16:03at least once in your life.

02:16:05The consequences of contact with the orchid

02:16:07are not very pleasant.

02:16:09No one likes cutaneous eruptions

02:16:11and burning and chewing sensations.

02:16:13Yes, being away from the orchid

02:16:15and apparently harmless

02:16:17has about the same mechanism,

02:16:19but the consequences are different.

02:16:21Sometimes it is simply

02:16:23a prolonged discomfort,

02:16:25but in some cases it can be fatal.

02:16:27Good news,

02:16:29there is an antidote.

02:16:31wax to wax or even adhesive tape

02:16:33can save you.

02:16:35The main problem

02:16:37are the little hairs that get stuck in the skin.

02:16:39But all that is sticky can help you remove them.

02:16:41It is only a first emergency treatment,

02:16:43but it helps a lot.

02:16:47You are walking in a park

02:16:49and you stop because you come across

02:16:51the cutest puppy.

02:16:53Admiring it, you notice a red collar

02:16:55and you remember that red is the universal sign

02:16:57to say stop.

02:16:59All over the world,

02:17:01you can see this color on signs and traffic lights.

02:17:03This cute little dog is one of those

02:17:05you should not approach.

02:17:07A red collar on a dog

02:17:09means that the animal can be aggressive

02:17:11and that you have to leave him some space.

02:17:13Dogs are more likely to bite

02:17:15or throw themselves on passers-by

02:17:17or other dogs.

02:17:19You may find it hard to believe

02:17:21since the dog may look happy

02:17:23when you see him with his master.

02:17:25And you're right, he's probably happy

02:17:27because he loves his master,

02:17:29but he can also be too protective of him.

02:17:31It is also possible that the dog

02:17:33is an assistance dog,

02:17:35even if in this case he should wear a vest

02:17:37like an emotional dog or an assistance dog.

02:17:39Oh, and remember three important words.

02:17:41Do not pet.

02:17:43All dog owners

02:17:45do not choose to use the color code

02:17:47with their animals.

02:17:49It is more used in professional environments.

02:17:51For example,

02:17:53if a dog has to work on smell detection,

02:17:55he probably has better things to do

02:17:57than get his belly scratched by strangers.

02:17:59His red collar must therefore

02:18:01serve as a warning.

02:18:03Dogs have up to 300 million

02:18:05olfactory receptors in their nose.

02:18:07Humans, on the other hand,

02:18:09have about 6 million.

02:18:11This means that the smell of our four-legged friends

02:18:13is about 50 times better than ours.

02:18:15The area of a dog's brain

02:18:17dedicated to smell analysis

02:18:19is about 40 times larger than ours.

02:18:21Dogs are attracted to new smells.

02:18:23There is a good chance

02:18:25that they prefer a sniffing session

02:18:27to your proposal of belly scratching.

02:18:29It could totally annoy them.

02:18:31Now, why not take a look

02:18:33at the reasons that can annoy your dog.

02:18:35The first one could upset you

02:18:37and be difficult to accept.

02:18:39Have you ever noticed that your dog

02:18:41is sometimes terrified

02:18:43when you want to take him in your arms?

02:18:45Have you ever wondered why?

02:18:47Dogs just don't like to be tied up.

02:18:49Research has shown

02:18:51that you should never force your dog,

02:18:53which is exactly what happens

02:18:55when you take him in your arms.

02:18:57If your dog wants it,

02:18:59then OK,

02:19:01or discover that his brand new shoes

02:19:03are good to throw.

02:19:05But there is one thing you should not do.

02:19:07Bark at your dog,

02:19:09even if he has licked your favorite shoes.

02:19:11Barking only makes the dog confused.

02:19:13He can simply think

02:19:15that you are barking at him

02:19:17and start wondering

02:19:19what happened to his master.

02:19:21Sure, his dog's eyes are irresistible,

02:19:23but try not to stare at them for too long.

02:19:25Prolonged visual contact

02:19:27can be another form of aggression

02:19:29that can be scared

02:19:31by such a serious attitude.

02:19:33This is especially true

02:19:35with foreign dogs

02:19:37that can be stressed or uncomfortable

02:19:39in your presence.

02:19:41Try to distract yourself

02:19:43from their gaze

02:19:45by focusing on the caress

02:19:47of this warm and sweet fur.

02:19:49What else can annoy your dog?

02:19:51If your friend can perfectly stand

02:19:53having extremely long nails,

02:19:55there is one thing

02:19:57you can do to check his ears

02:19:59and examine his face.

02:20:01However, you have to do it anyway

02:20:03because too long nails

02:20:05could injure your dog

02:20:07and checking his ears

02:20:09can prevent a bad otitis.

02:20:11It is good that your dog

02:20:13is comfortable with the fact

02:20:15that you touch his legs and ears

02:20:17before taking him to the toilet

02:20:19or trying to cut his nails yourself.

02:20:21To be a responsible dog owner,

02:20:23you also have to make sure

02:20:25that your dog is comfortable

02:20:27with your presence.

02:20:29Let's be pragmatic.

02:20:31You are at the beach

02:20:33by a sunny day.

02:20:35You walk on the sand barefoot

02:20:37and suddenly you feel your feet burning.

02:20:39You run to take refuge on your towel.

02:20:41Do you see where we want to go?

02:20:43If it's too hot for your feet,

02:20:45it's probably too hot

02:20:47for your dog's paws.

02:20:49And it's not just the burns

02:20:51on the paws that should worry you.

02:20:53By walking his walks

02:20:55in the early morning or in the late afternoon,

02:20:57you can give him a great service.

02:21:01Variety is the salt of life.

02:21:03And don't think that

02:21:05it doesn't apply to dogs,

02:21:07especially when it comes to the games

02:21:09you play with them.

02:21:11When we think of a game to play with our dog,

02:21:13the first thing we think of

02:21:15is shooting.

02:21:17And since we are not the one

02:21:19who has to run desperately

02:21:21to be more creative,

02:21:23find other games.

02:21:25One of them is tug-of-war,

02:21:27which involves an equal effort

02:21:29on the part of the dog and the human.

02:21:31Dogs love this game

02:21:33and contrary to popular belief,

02:21:35it does not favor aggressiveness,

02:21:37especially if you alternate the winner

02:21:39every time.

02:21:41This game will also teach your dog

02:21:43an essential skill,

02:21:45impulse control.

02:21:47Games that end quickly

02:21:49like this one.

02:21:51Giving him a treat when he looks at you

02:21:53without you calling him

02:21:55will allow you to have more control over him.

02:21:57Although they are animals,

02:21:59dogs have some traits in common with humans.

02:22:01For example, they don't get along with everyone.

02:22:03So don't try to force a dog

02:22:05to make friends with another.

02:22:07Some dogs are shy

02:22:09while others love to socialize.

02:22:11As the owner of responsible animals,

02:22:13our job is to find

02:22:15how to put our dogs at ease.

02:22:17A dog can be at ease with another

02:22:19but become disturbed

02:22:21in a group of more than two subjects.

02:22:23It is sometimes preferable

02:22:25to create a small group of dog friends

02:22:27with whom your animal can play

02:22:29or to introduce new dogs to him one by one.

02:22:31But don't force him

02:22:33to find himself in an uncomfortable situation.

02:22:35One thing for which

02:22:37we are all sometimes reluctant

02:22:39is change.

02:22:41And one thing a dog loves to do

02:22:43is to make his master happy.

02:22:45There is a good chance

02:22:47that it is because your rules are not coherent enough.

02:22:49Coherence is something

02:22:51that dogs really appreciate.

02:22:53It allows them to know how to behave

02:22:55in different situations.

02:22:57Telling them to go to bed

02:22:59after using the word sit

02:23:01can cause a lot of confusion.

02:23:03In fact, you should probably

02:23:05set up a daily training for your dog.

02:23:07This will prevent your dog

02:23:09from waiting for a part of tug-of-war

02:23:11when you try to get ready to go to work.

02:23:13This will teach your dog

02:23:15to behave in new environments.

02:23:17You can't expect

02:23:19your dog to enter

02:23:21one of the many dog cafes

02:23:23that exist today

02:23:25and know how to behave.

02:23:27Go step by step.

02:23:29If your dog gets excited,

02:23:31it's because you're going too fast.

02:23:33And don't forget these delicious treats

02:23:35to reward your dog for his good behavior.

02:23:37With all the attention

02:23:39our dogs bring us,

02:23:41paying attention to your dog's body language

02:23:43is not good either.

02:23:45It's not because they don't talk

02:23:47that you can't know what's going on in their heads.

02:23:49Research shows that dogs

02:23:51express themselves with their bodies.

02:23:53Although some behaviors,

02:23:55like leaning to get more attention,

02:23:57are quite universal,

02:23:59dogs have very different ways

02:24:01to show their anxiety,

02:24:03from immobilization to a strange wagging of the tail.

02:24:05The eyes, the tail, the ears

02:24:07and the posture of a dog

02:24:10By paying attention to the way

02:24:12they react in different social contexts,

02:24:14you can also prevent

02:24:16any uncomfortable situation in the future.

02:24:18The most obvious thing

02:24:20your dog doesn't like is being ignored.

02:24:22Neither dogs nor humans

02:24:24have the energy to play all day.

02:24:26But you have to find time in your schedule

02:24:28to create head-to-head relationships.

02:24:30Food and shelter

02:24:32are not the only things these creatures need.

02:24:34It's especially true

02:24:36when you add a new dog to your home.

02:24:38Dogs can also feel left out.

02:24:40Make sure that the oldest dog

02:24:42doesn't feel excluded.

02:24:48You're walking through a hot summer afternoon.

02:24:50The grass is green,

02:24:52the sun is high in the sky

02:24:54and suddenly you feel like you're sinking.

02:24:56You start to panic,

02:24:58but you get up right away.

02:25:00You test your support and jump lightly.

02:25:02The grass bounces under your feet like a trampoline.

02:25:04This phenomenon is caused by the liquefaction of the ground,

02:25:06excess water from heavy rains

02:25:08or floods is trapped in the ground,

02:25:10which makes it wet.

02:25:12The ground then behaves temporarily

02:25:14like a giant trampoline.

02:25:16Although it can be tempting to run

02:25:18and bounce on this elastic grass,

02:25:20you'd better be careful.

02:25:22The grass can potentially open up

02:25:24and if someone falls through,

02:25:26it will be very difficult for them to get out.

02:25:28An erupting volcano

02:25:30is already quite a terrifying spectacle,

02:25:32with its black smoke clouds

02:25:34and melting water.

02:25:36But what is even more terrifying

02:25:38is that it can produce lightning.

02:25:40Volcanic lightning is quite difficult to study,

02:25:42so scientists don't know

02:25:44what exactly causes it.

02:25:46A common theory is that during an eruption,

02:25:48the ashes accumulate so much friction

02:25:50that they create a static accumulation of electricity

02:25:52that triggers volcanic lightning.

02:25:54A fire turbine

02:25:56or a fire tornado

02:25:58is exactly what its name suggests.

02:26:00They occur when the wind on the ground

02:26:02picks up the flames

02:26:04and turns the embers into a whirling force.

02:26:06These spinning fire columns

02:26:08can reach a height of 300 meters,

02:26:10but fortunately,

02:26:12they only last a few minutes.

02:26:14Fire tornadoes are quite rare,

02:26:16but they can be extremely dangerous.

02:26:18In Tokyo in 1923,

02:26:20a large fire in the whole city

02:26:22produced a gigantic fire tornado.

02:26:24It lasted 15 minutes

02:26:26and devastated the city,

02:26:28causing significant damage

02:26:30and injuring 8,000 people.

02:26:32During a cold winter night without clouds,

02:26:34you may have been lucky enough

02:26:36to witness colorful blue and orange beams

02:26:38rising towards the sky.

02:26:40These are called luminous pillars.

02:26:42They occur when light is reflected

02:26:44by tiny ice crystals

02:26:46floating in the atmosphere.

02:26:48These pillars are more common

02:26:50in cold and northern countries

02:26:52like Canada or Russia.

02:26:54We have all seen the colorful rainbows

02:26:56that the sun produces,

02:26:58and the rainbow that illuminates

02:27:00the night sky produced by the moon.

02:27:02This is what we call a lunar rainbow.

02:27:04It is bright and colorful like a rainbow

02:27:06and occurs when the moon's light

02:27:08is reflected on droplets of water

02:27:10in the sky.

02:27:12Lunar rainbows are incredibly rare

02:27:14and can only occur

02:27:16in specific conditions.

02:27:18The moon must be low,

02:27:20the sky must be dark,

02:27:22and the rain must fall directly

02:27:24on the opposite side of the moon

02:27:26If you walk in the moonlight

02:27:28on the beach at night,

02:27:30you may come across the strange phenomenon

02:27:32of a bioluminescent beach.

02:27:34It occurs when a microorganism

02:27:36present in water called plankton

02:27:38is agitated by the movement of the waves

02:27:40and emits a bright blue color.

02:27:42These microorganisms tend to live

02:27:44in warmer waters,

02:27:46so you will find these luminous beaches

02:27:48in places like the Maldives,

02:27:50Puerto Rico or Florida.

02:27:52In Antarctica, you may see

02:27:54that blood-red water

02:27:56pours out of the glacier

02:27:58from an underground lake.

02:28:00Scientists thought

02:28:02that this amazing color

02:28:04was caused by a microorganism

02:28:06similar to the plankton's luminescent beach.

02:28:08But after other studies,

02:28:10it was discovered that the water

02:28:12contained iron-enormously high levels

02:28:14that oxidize and turn into rust

02:28:16the second they come in contact with the air.

02:28:18In cold climates,

02:28:20where lakes are frozen all year round,

02:28:22you will notice frozen bubbles

02:28:24trapped in the ice.

02:28:26These are small pockets of gaseous methane.

02:28:28Bacteria present in water

02:28:30feed on other organisms

02:28:32and digest them to produce methane.

02:28:34Methane turns into bubbles

02:28:36floating in frozen water

02:28:38trapped under layers of ice.

02:28:40Asperitas clouds are one

02:28:42of nature's rarest events.

02:28:44This cloud formation

02:28:46consists of incredibly dark

02:28:48and storm-like waves.

02:28:50As a sign of bad weather

02:28:52and a sign of a big storm,

02:28:54they usually dissipate

02:28:56without affecting the weather.

02:28:58These clouds most often appear

02:29:00in the United States' plains,

02:29:02but have not been observed since 2009.

02:29:04Although known for its harsh climate,

02:29:06the desert can produce magnificent things

02:29:08like sand roses.

02:29:10This is a complex rose-shaped formation

02:29:12made up of clusters of crystals.

02:29:14The intense alternation

02:29:16of dry and humid conditions

02:29:18gives them this characteristic colour.

02:29:20From afar,

02:29:22you could easily confuse

02:29:24a sea trough with a big tornado

02:29:26moving above a water level.

02:29:28In reality, sea troughs

02:29:30are a type of funnel-shaped cloud.

02:29:32They are rotating columns of wind

02:29:34filled with clouds

02:29:36often of a dark colour.

02:29:38Troughs are much weaker

02:29:40and smaller than tornadoes,

02:29:42and they are not strong enough

02:29:44to absorb anything.

02:29:46Clouds usually appear

02:29:48in tropical climates

02:29:50and usually dissipate

02:29:52before reaching the Earth.

02:29:54Clouds are flat clouds

02:29:56that overlap

02:29:58like crepes in the sky.

02:30:00They usually form at high altitudes

02:30:02where geographical characteristics

02:30:04such as mountains or large buildings

02:30:06interrupt the air flow.

02:30:08Because of their unique shape,

02:30:10clouds have been mentioned

02:30:12to explain some observations.

02:30:15One of them is the permafrost explosion.

02:30:17The increase in temperature

02:30:19in the Arctic

02:30:21causes the permafrost to melt.

02:30:23Just like in frozen lakes,

02:30:25methane bubbles are trapped

02:30:27in the permafrost.

02:30:29When the permafrost begins to melt,

02:30:31the gas is released.

02:30:33This causes large explosions

02:30:35in the ground,

02:30:37leaving massive holes behind.

02:30:39The first such case was reported in 2013

02:30:41and several others have been reported since.

02:30:43You usually think of a large piece

02:30:45of white, immaculate ice.

02:30:47But in the Antarctic,

02:30:49you can find icebergs

02:30:51with green, blue, yellow and more colors.

02:30:53The different colors are due to the fact

02:30:55that the ice is formed in special conditions.

02:30:57Green usually appears

02:30:59when the water rich in algae freezes.

02:31:01Blue stripes are most often

02:31:03freshly frozen water.

02:31:05Other colors are usually caused

02:31:07by debris sediments collected

02:31:09by the water when it freezes.

02:31:11Black clouds are one of the rarest

02:31:13clouds on the planet.

02:31:15They usually occur at high altitudes

02:31:17and are only visible in the next

02:31:19two hours after sunset.

02:31:21These clouds are magnificent

02:31:23and emit bright, different colors.

02:31:25But don't be fooled.

02:31:27These clouds are actually

02:31:29a rather dangerous spectacle.

02:31:31Black clouds are incredibly destructive

02:31:33to our atmosphere.

02:31:35Their presence encourages the chemical reaction

02:31:37that breaks down our ozone layer.

02:31:39Black clouds are essential to protect

02:31:41us from harmful sun rays.

02:31:43The poorer they are,

02:31:45the more we are threatened

02:31:47by global warming.

02:31:49The last place you expect to find

02:31:51a natural fire is in the middle

02:31:53of a waterfall.

02:31:55But it's more common than you think.

02:31:57In the north of New York,

02:31:59in the middle of a small waterfall,

02:32:01there is an eternal flame

02:32:03about 20 cm high.

02:32:05Under the waterfall,

02:32:07the water is sufficiently sheltered

02:32:09by the rocks of the waterfalls

02:32:11to remain permanently lit.

02:32:13Generally, you don't imagine

02:32:15green sand when you think

02:32:17of tropical beaches.

02:32:19But in Hawaii and on other

02:32:21volcanic islands around the world,

02:32:23you will find beaches covered

02:32:25in dark green sand.

02:32:27This remarkable color is due

02:32:29to the erosion of olivine,

02:32:31a type of rock formed

02:32:33by volcanic eruptions

02:32:35on the shore,

02:32:37which gives these beaches

02:32:39strange colors.

02:32:41Penitents are peaks of ice

02:32:43formed at high altitudes.

02:32:45They occur when the sun's rays

02:32:47directly hit the ice,

02:32:49turning it into water vapor

02:32:51instead of melting it.

02:32:53The sun's rays vaporize

02:32:55small ditches on the surface

02:32:57of the snow,

02:32:59giving rise to pointy formations

02:33:01resembling crystals.

02:33:03These formations are the most

02:33:05unusual and distinctive.

02:33:07They can extend over hundreds

02:33:09of kilometers and give the impression

02:33:11that the sky is covered in cotton balls.

02:33:13They are harmless,

02:33:15but they often mean

02:33:17that a dangerous storm is coming.

02:33:19So if you see them,

02:33:21be on the lookout!

02:33:23A green ray is a rare phenomenon

02:33:25that occurs briefly at sunset

02:33:27or sunrise, when it is

02:33:29almost entirely out of the sky.

02:33:31This phenomenon is caused

02:33:33by the reflection of the sun's light

02:33:35on the Earth's atmosphere,

02:33:37which refracts the light

02:33:39in different colors.

02:33:41The sun may seem green,

02:33:43but it is actually

02:33:45just an optical illusion.
