1
00:00:11,489 --> 00:00:13,665
We
managed to come across one
2
00:00:13,796 --> 00:00:16,538
of the most elusive
reptiles in all of Japan,
3
00:00:16,668 --> 00:00:18,844
the Japanese ground snake.
4
00:00:18,975 --> 00:00:22,674
This fossorial animal is
almost never seen by humans,
5
00:00:22,805 --> 00:00:24,981
and we uncovered it
by gently flipping
6
00:00:25,112 --> 00:00:29,159
a decomposing log in one of the
country's most ancient forests.
7
00:00:29,290 --> 00:00:31,074
Ooh, snake, snake,
snake right here.
8
00:00:31,205 --> 00:00:32,423
Sweet.
9
00:00:32,554 --> 00:00:33,990
Wow, it almost looks
like a rubber bone.
10
00:00:34,121 --> 00:00:35,687
Look at that.
11
00:00:35,818 --> 00:00:38,647
We're exploring in the
Tottori prefecture,
12
00:00:38,777 --> 00:00:42,564
a remote stretch of wilderness
in southwestern Japan.
13
00:00:42,694 --> 00:00:45,088
Our goal is to share with you
some of the animals that call
14
00:00:45,219 --> 00:00:47,656
this forest home
while also admiring
15
00:00:47,786 --> 00:00:51,573
the breathtaking beauty
of its timeless landscape.
16
00:00:51,703 --> 00:00:55,403
After releasing the ground snake
back into his shadowy refuge,
17
00:00:55,533 --> 00:00:57,927
we soon after stumbled
upon a creature
18
00:00:58,058 --> 00:01:00,625
that could be considered
a candidate for a science
19
00:01:00,756 --> 00:01:02,236
fiction narrative.
20
00:01:02,366 --> 00:01:04,412
All right, this log
is actually flippable.
21
00:01:04,542 --> 00:01:06,196
See how long a lot of these are?
22
00:01:06,327 --> 00:01:07,458
Oh, yeah.
23
00:01:07,589 --> 00:01:09,025
I thought they'd
be easier to move.
24
00:01:09,156 --> 00:01:10,374
They're not.
25
00:01:10,505 --> 00:01:11,767
All right, this one
is busted in half.
26
00:01:11,897 --> 00:01:14,291
Let's see what we got.
27
00:01:14,422 --> 00:01:15,249
Ooh, a Sicilian!
28
00:01:15,379 --> 00:01:16,380
A Sicilian!
29
00:01:16,511 --> 00:01:17,555
Look, look, look!
30
00:01:17,686 --> 00:01:18,643
Right there, Mario, Sicilian.
31
00:01:18,774 --> 00:01:19,644
Oh, yeah.
32
00:01:19,775 --> 00:01:21,037
Hang on a second.
33
00:01:21,168 --> 00:01:23,344
Look, look, look, look.
34
00:01:23,474 --> 00:01:24,519
Right there.
35
00:01:24,649 --> 00:01:25,911
It
looks like one,
36
00:01:26,042 --> 00:01:28,175
but there's actually
none native to Japan.
37
00:01:28,305 --> 00:01:29,915
So that's got to
be something else.
38
00:01:30,046 --> 00:01:31,439
That's not a Sicilian?
39
00:01:31,569 --> 00:01:33,005
No.
40
00:01:33,136 --> 00:01:34,790
Here, let's bring it
back down here on this log.
41
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,575
That's-- dude, that's
got to be a Sicilian.
42
00:01:37,706 --> 00:01:40,535
Check this out.
43
00:01:40,665 --> 00:01:42,537
So there are no
Sicilians in Japan,
44
00:01:42,667 --> 00:01:45,670
but my immediate
instinct was a Sicilian.
45
00:01:45,801 --> 00:01:47,455
It looks exactly like one.
46
00:01:47,585 --> 00:01:50,153
Now my hands are not real moist,
so what I actually want to do
47
00:01:50,284 --> 00:01:53,461
I'm going to set it down there
and get some water on my hands.
48
00:01:53,591 --> 00:01:55,506
It's got to be some
kind of a worm.
49
00:01:55,637 --> 00:01:56,942
Oh, yeah.
50
00:01:57,073 --> 00:01:59,902
We just run a little
bit of water onto it.
51
00:02:00,032 --> 00:02:01,599
Oh, I like that.
52
00:02:01,730 --> 00:02:03,688
OK, here we go.
53
00:02:03,819 --> 00:02:06,691
Let me just sort of
analyze it first.
54
00:02:06,822 --> 00:02:08,693
I don't think there are any,
like, venomous or poisonous
55
00:02:08,824 --> 00:02:12,523
worm species at least not to my
knowledge but look at the head.
56
00:02:12,654 --> 00:02:14,308
Yeah, it's definitely
a worm now that I'm
57
00:02:14,438 --> 00:02:17,746
seeing it out on this log
and it's moving about.
58
00:02:17,876 --> 00:02:19,313
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
it's got a proboscis.
59
00:02:19,443 --> 00:02:20,705
Look at that.
60
00:02:20,836 --> 00:02:22,403
It's got a little mouth
part that comes out.
61
00:02:22,533 --> 00:02:27,234
It is extremely rigid,
very muscular feeling.
62
00:02:27,364 --> 00:02:29,758
I guess we should find
out if it bites or not.
63
00:02:29,888 --> 00:02:31,325
Let's see.
64
00:02:31,455 --> 00:02:33,327
Oh, it's tasting me.
65
00:02:33,457 --> 00:02:36,634
Definitely no biting mouth
parts like the blood worm.
66
00:02:36,765 --> 00:02:38,810
This is crazy.
67
00:02:38,941 --> 00:02:41,987
The most bizarre looking
worm I ever thought
68
00:02:42,118 --> 00:02:42,858
we would have come across.
69
00:02:42,988 --> 00:02:43,859
Look at the top of it.
70
00:02:43,989 --> 00:02:45,687
It's blue and iridescent.
71
00:02:45,817 --> 00:02:48,037
Can you see that if I just
slightly angle it in the light?
72
00:02:48,168 --> 00:02:49,821
I mean, if
you held the Sicilian
73
00:02:49,952 --> 00:02:52,433
we found in Costa Rica next to
that, it'd be tough to tell.
74
00:02:52,563 --> 00:02:53,825
Well, the reason that
I thought it was is
75
00:02:53,956 --> 00:02:55,262
look at the belly.
76
00:02:55,392 --> 00:02:57,264
The underside is very
light in coloration,
77
00:02:57,394 --> 00:02:59,004
and the top is dark,
very indicative
78
00:02:59,135 --> 00:03:00,658
of something that is fossorial.
79
00:03:00,789 --> 00:03:03,095
Keeps it camouflaged from up
above but from underneath,
80
00:03:03,226 --> 00:03:04,836
it doesn't need to
be dark in color.
81
00:03:04,967 --> 00:03:08,231
Now unlike the earthworms that
we see in the United States,
82
00:03:08,362 --> 00:03:10,799
there's no distinct
middle section
83
00:03:10,929 --> 00:03:12,975
to this worm, which is
another reason that I
84
00:03:13,105 --> 00:03:14,411
thought it was a Sicilian.
85
00:03:14,542 --> 00:03:16,544
Look how far it's capable
of stretching out.
86
00:03:16,674 --> 00:03:17,806
Look at the length of that worm.
87
00:03:17,936 --> 00:03:19,460
Whoa.
88
00:03:19,590 --> 00:03:22,202
You can
actually see inside its belly.
89
00:03:22,332 --> 00:03:24,726
You can see whatever it's
been eating is inside there.
90
00:03:24,856 --> 00:03:27,119
There's a chance
this is a predatory worm.
91
00:03:27,250 --> 00:03:28,425
A good chance, yeah.
92
00:03:28,556 --> 00:03:30,688
I mean, with that
proboscis up front,
93
00:03:30,819 --> 00:03:33,256
I assume they could be eating
small little microorganisms,
94
00:03:33,387 --> 00:03:35,693
mites and small ants.
95
00:03:35,824 --> 00:03:38,740
It's actually really cool when
I place it down on the moss
96
00:03:38,870 --> 00:03:42,439
and you can see it, the
contrastiness against that
97
00:03:42,570 --> 00:03:43,832
green.
98
00:03:43,962 --> 00:03:47,314
As we know, worms have
no proper skeleton.
99
00:03:47,444 --> 00:03:50,142
It's just, like, one
big muscular slinky.
100
00:03:50,273 --> 00:03:51,318
And look at that.
101
00:03:51,448 --> 00:03:53,015
When I place it
down in the moss,
102
00:03:53,145 --> 00:03:55,974
it curiously moves
from spot to spot,
103
00:03:56,105 --> 00:03:59,848
and it's using its mouth to
investigate all of this moss,
104
00:03:59,978 --> 00:04:02,938
I imagine sensing for
chemicals to help it find
105
00:04:03,068 --> 00:04:04,766
direction because
from what I can see,
106
00:04:04,896 --> 00:04:07,159
it does not have any eyeballs.
107
00:04:07,290 --> 00:04:08,857
That is definitely
the front end,
108
00:04:08,987 --> 00:04:11,120
and this is definitely
the back end.
109
00:04:11,251 --> 00:04:13,035
Wow, look how
long it stretched out now.
110
00:04:13,165 --> 00:04:14,515
Crazy.
111
00:04:14,645 --> 00:04:16,081
I bet this thing is
close to a foot in length
112
00:04:16,212 --> 00:04:17,648
when fully extended.
113
00:04:17,779 --> 00:04:19,911
Well, Japan is certainly
full of all kinds
114
00:04:20,042 --> 00:04:23,350
of interesting surprises, and
this dense forest ecosystem
115
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,701
is so rich with wildlife
and a lot of animals
116
00:04:26,831 --> 00:04:28,572
that must stay out of the sun.
117
00:04:28,703 --> 00:04:30,922
We've got the sun directly
overhead right now,
118
00:04:31,053 --> 00:04:32,576
and even with it
cascading through some
119
00:04:32,707 --> 00:04:34,535
of those top branches,
everything in here
120
00:04:34,665 --> 00:04:35,927
stays completely shaded.
121
00:04:36,058 --> 00:04:36,972
Everything is moist.
122
00:04:37,102 --> 00:04:38,452
Look at this environment.
123
00:04:38,582 --> 00:04:40,410
All the pine needles are
completely saturated.
124
00:04:40,541 --> 00:04:42,107
The ground is sopping wet.
125
00:04:42,238 --> 00:04:43,544
You have all of this moss.
126
00:04:43,674 --> 00:04:46,068
It's the perfect place
for an alien looking
127
00:04:46,198 --> 00:04:47,548
creature like this to live.
128
00:04:47,678 --> 00:04:49,550
All right, I'm gonna
pick it back up here.
129
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,639
Let's get one more close look.
130
00:04:51,769 --> 00:04:53,249
Come here, buddy.
131
00:04:53,380 --> 00:04:54,946
And I noticed
there's not a whole lot
132
00:04:55,077 --> 00:04:56,165
of slime coming off this worm.
133
00:04:56,296 --> 00:04:57,906
No.
134
00:04:58,036 --> 00:04:59,690
I mean, I've definitely been
getting my hands wet with water
135
00:04:59,821 --> 00:05:01,301
just to make sure
that I don't suck any
136
00:05:01,431 --> 00:05:03,390
of the hydration
from it skin, but it
137
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,349
is not slimy like the earthworms
that we have in the States.
138
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:07,785
Go ahead, Mark.
139
00:05:07,916 --> 00:05:11,223
Put your hand out there
and just feel that worm.
140
00:05:11,354 --> 00:05:12,921
Whoa.
How about that.
141
00:05:13,051 --> 00:05:14,531
Doesn't feel like the
earthworms at home does it?
142
00:05:14,662 --> 00:05:15,445
Whoa.
143
00:05:15,576 --> 00:05:16,403
Very strong, too.
144
00:05:16,533 --> 00:05:17,839
Very muscular.
145
00:05:17,969 --> 00:05:19,580
It almost feels like it
has a bit of a skeleton.
146
00:05:19,710 --> 00:05:21,364
Right, right.
147
00:05:21,495 --> 00:05:25,194
It does, but as we know worms
do not have proper skeletons.
148
00:05:25,325 --> 00:05:26,891
They also don't
have exoskeletons.
149
00:05:27,022 --> 00:05:32,027
They're essentially just
lengths of internal muscle.
150
00:05:32,157 --> 00:05:33,942
And when I laid it down
on the log earlier,
151
00:05:34,072 --> 00:05:35,944
you could see how it
was able to just slink
152
00:05:36,074 --> 00:05:39,295
from spot to spot,
that segmentation
153
00:05:39,426 --> 00:05:41,732
moving just like a slinky.
154
00:05:41,863 --> 00:05:43,647
Well, I would definitely
say that exploring
155
00:05:43,778 --> 00:05:45,693
these deep dark
forests here in Japan
156
00:05:45,823 --> 00:05:48,043
have certainly paid off
with a number of very
157
00:05:48,173 --> 00:05:50,262
cool and bizarre species.
158
00:05:50,393 --> 00:05:51,568
I'm Coyote Petersen.
159
00:05:51,699 --> 00:05:54,702
Be brave, stay wild.
160
00:05:54,832 --> 00:05:56,268
We'll see on the next adventure.
161
00:05:59,794 --> 00:06:02,449
On the exterior of
our planet, we often
162
00:06:02,579 --> 00:06:04,538
see animals that we
recognize from the pages
163
00:06:04,668 --> 00:06:08,498
of books, images on
television, or even in person
164
00:06:08,629 --> 00:06:11,022
at our local parks.
165
00:06:11,153 --> 00:06:14,025
A whole society of
creatures are living
166
00:06:14,156 --> 00:06:17,464
and thriving beneath our feet.
167
00:06:17,594 --> 00:06:21,598
They're bizarre, alien
like, and often considered
168
00:06:21,729 --> 00:06:25,820
living nightmares, but the truth
is that these animals which
169
00:06:25,950 --> 00:06:30,085
appear to be from another planet
are more likely to be quiet,
170
00:06:30,215 --> 00:06:32,870
skittish, and
completely harmless
171
00:06:33,001 --> 00:06:35,220
despite their
outward appearance.
172
00:06:35,351 --> 00:06:37,919
The true oddities
of the natural world
173
00:06:38,049 --> 00:06:40,574
always seem to
captivate us, and it
174
00:06:40,704 --> 00:06:43,577
brings the "Brave Wilderness"
team great excitement
175
00:06:43,707 --> 00:06:45,796
to share them with all of you.
176
00:06:50,322 --> 00:06:52,150
She's becoming secured to me.
177
00:06:52,281 --> 00:06:53,935
Oh, I thought she
was about to bite.
178
00:06:54,065 --> 00:06:55,197
The reason that
I'm doing this is
179
00:06:55,327 --> 00:06:57,025
to prove that these
scorpions aren't
180
00:06:57,155 --> 00:06:59,549
just out there to sting you.
181
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,203
What is this!
182
00:07:01,333 --> 00:07:02,117
There it is.
183
00:07:02,247 --> 00:07:03,814
Aaah!
184
00:07:03,945 --> 00:07:05,294
Oh, gross!
185
00:07:05,425 --> 00:07:07,427
There's no question that
the Coyote Pack loves
186
00:07:07,557 --> 00:07:11,039
to learn about creepy
creatures, and over the years,
187
00:07:11,169 --> 00:07:13,433
we have gotten an
entirely new generation
188
00:07:13,563 --> 00:07:17,219
excited about animals by
getting up close and sometimes
189
00:07:17,349 --> 00:07:18,176
dangerously personal.
190
00:07:18,307 --> 00:07:19,700
Ooh, he's trying to bite me.
191
00:07:19,830 --> 00:07:22,485
It's fair to say that we
have some popular videos,
192
00:07:22,616 --> 00:07:24,487
but the ones that can
truly be considered
193
00:07:24,618 --> 00:07:28,360
viral sensations center
around the onslaught of insect
194
00:07:28,491 --> 00:07:29,579
stings I have taken.
195
00:07:31,059 --> 00:07:33,235
The world famous insect
sting pain index,
196
00:07:33,365 --> 00:07:36,804
which was brilliantly created
by entomologist Justin Schmidt,
197
00:07:36,934 --> 00:07:40,329
became the roadmap to
producing these videos.
198
00:07:40,460 --> 00:07:42,462
So now for the
first time ever, we
199
00:07:42,592 --> 00:07:44,464
have decided to compile
together everyone's
200
00:07:44,594 --> 00:07:48,772
favorite moments and my most
painful in an episode titled
201
00:07:48,903 --> 00:07:49,904
"Just the Sting."
202
00:07:59,609 --> 00:08:02,917
Hidden within the darkness of
the Costa Rican rainforest,
203
00:08:03,047 --> 00:08:06,964
a legend exists beneath
the ancient canopy.
204
00:08:07,095 --> 00:08:11,969
Indigenous people refer to it
as bala, which means bullet.
205
00:08:12,100 --> 00:08:15,364
It is rumored that just a
single sting from this animal
206
00:08:15,495 --> 00:08:18,367
is so excruciating
that it feels as if one
207
00:08:18,498 --> 00:08:20,238
has been shot with a gun.
208
00:08:20,369 --> 00:08:21,849
Ooh,
it's stuck in my arm.
209
00:08:21,979 --> 00:08:23,024
It's stuck in my arm.
210
00:08:24,373 --> 00:08:25,330
It's stuck-- stuck on my arm.
211
00:08:25,461 --> 00:08:26,549
Look at that.
212
00:08:27,681 --> 00:08:28,551
OK, it's off.
It's off.
213
00:08:28,682 --> 00:08:30,074
It's off.
214
00:08:30,205 --> 00:08:31,336
Oh my gosh!
215
00:08:31,467 --> 00:08:34,209
Oh my gosh!
216
00:08:34,339 --> 00:08:36,037
Oh my gosh!
217
00:08:36,167 --> 00:08:39,736
The stinger was stuck into my
forearm right into the vein.
218
00:08:39,867 --> 00:08:42,130
There is the sting
insertion point right there.
219
00:08:42,260 --> 00:08:43,131
Oh my gosh.
220
00:08:43,261 --> 00:08:44,480
It is like--
221
00:08:44,611 --> 00:08:46,613
- it's hot.
222
00:08:46,743 --> 00:08:50,573
Oh, I can feel the venom
already right in my forearm.
223
00:08:58,450 --> 00:08:59,800
Oh my gosh!
224
00:08:59,930 --> 00:09:01,062
Aaah, it's spreading more.
225
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:07,851
I'm going to go
ahead and get stripe
226
00:09:07,982 --> 00:09:11,986
tail out of the container here.
227
00:09:12,116 --> 00:09:12,900
Got you.
228
00:09:13,030 --> 00:09:14,510
Look at this.
229
00:09:14,641 --> 00:09:16,817
Just chomping onto the
forceps with those pedipalps.
230
00:09:16,947 --> 00:09:19,515
Are you ready?
231
00:09:19,646 --> 00:09:25,216
1, 2, 3.
232
00:09:28,872 --> 00:09:29,743
Oww!
233
00:09:32,354 --> 00:09:33,094
Hold on.
234
00:09:33,224 --> 00:09:34,008
He's right there.
235
00:09:34,138 --> 00:09:35,357
Let me get him.
236
00:09:35,487 --> 00:09:37,925
Oh, yeah, he got me.
237
00:09:38,055 --> 00:09:38,926
Aah, did you see that?
238
00:09:39,056 --> 00:09:39,883
Yeah.
239
00:09:45,497 --> 00:09:47,761
Tell us what is happening.
240
00:09:47,891 --> 00:09:48,805
Burns.
241
00:09:51,721 --> 00:09:53,027
Yep.
242
00:09:53,157 --> 00:09:54,463
Yeah, right there.
243
00:09:54,594 --> 00:09:55,464
You see right there on
the side of my finger?
244
00:09:55,595 --> 00:09:56,857
Do you see that?
245
00:09:56,987 --> 00:09:58,293
Just barely that
little red spot.
246
00:10:01,252 --> 00:10:02,297
Wow, that, like,
shot me backwards.
247
00:10:02,427 --> 00:10:03,254
Did you should see that?
248
00:10:03,385 --> 00:10:04,647
Yeah.
249
00:10:04,778 --> 00:10:06,475
That was-- that was
a sharp little wing.
250
00:10:12,176 --> 00:10:13,787
Basically just going
to put my hands
251
00:10:13,917 --> 00:10:16,528
down right here in front of
their burrow and let them
252
00:10:16,659 --> 00:10:17,573
hop on.
253
00:10:20,184 --> 00:10:21,185
Aah!
254
00:10:21,316 --> 00:10:23,013
Yep, getting stung already.
255
00:10:23,144 --> 00:10:24,536
Oh, that burns.
256
00:10:24,667 --> 00:10:27,191
The venom is laced with
an alkaloid poison, which
257
00:10:27,322 --> 00:10:30,064
when released sends an
alarm pheromone that
258
00:10:30,194 --> 00:10:33,110
causes other ants in
the area to attack.
259
00:10:33,241 --> 00:10:35,156
Aah!
260
00:10:35,286 --> 00:10:36,113
They're all over my hands now.
261
00:10:36,244 --> 00:10:37,941
Look at that.
262
00:10:38,072 --> 00:10:40,552
This was very obvious as after
the first sting was inflicted,
263
00:10:40,683 --> 00:10:42,467
it seemed as if
the entire colony
264
00:10:42,598 --> 00:10:44,165
was called to the front lines.
265
00:10:46,123 --> 00:10:46,907
There's one on my neck.
266
00:10:47,037 --> 00:10:48,125
Mari, get one off my neck.
267
00:10:53,783 --> 00:10:56,264
My arms, my hands,
the back of my head
268
00:10:56,394 --> 00:10:59,049
are absolutely on
fire right now.
269
00:10:59,180 --> 00:11:03,358
Wow, the harvester ant is
one formidable little foe.
270
00:11:03,488 --> 00:11:04,533
I can tell you that much.
271
00:11:09,756 --> 00:11:12,584
The velvet ant, which is
actually a species of ground
272
00:11:12,715 --> 00:11:16,284
wasp and not an ant at all,
claims a famous nickname,
273
00:11:16,414 --> 00:11:18,329
the cow killer.
274
00:11:18,460 --> 00:11:22,029
However, there are no reported
cases of cows or humans
275
00:11:22,159 --> 00:11:25,075
for that matter ever dying
from a velvet ant sting.
276
00:11:27,861 --> 00:11:28,905
And go.
277
00:11:42,397 --> 00:11:44,268
Oww!
278
00:11:47,445 --> 00:11:48,229
Hold on.
279
00:11:48,359 --> 00:11:49,143
OK.
280
00:11:57,281 --> 00:11:58,108
Give me a second.
281
00:11:58,239 --> 00:11:59,066
Oh my gosh.
282
00:11:59,196 --> 00:12:00,110
You all right?
283
00:12:00,241 --> 00:12:01,242
Oh, yeah.
284
00:12:01,372 --> 00:12:02,156
What are you feeling?
285
00:12:02,286 --> 00:12:03,723
What does it feel like?
286
00:12:03,853 --> 00:12:05,725
Give it-- give me a second.
287
00:12:12,775 --> 00:12:14,472
Oh my gosh, guys,
this is super bad.
288
00:12:19,042 --> 00:12:20,174
Oh my God.
289
00:12:20,304 --> 00:12:22,611
I got a try to
control my heart rate.
290
00:12:22,742 --> 00:12:27,572
You could feel-- go all the way
under the skin, all the way in.
291
00:12:27,703 --> 00:12:28,878
I could feel it
inserted into my arm.
292
00:12:38,758 --> 00:12:42,631
Just based on the knowledge that
these are extremely aggressive,
293
00:12:42,762 --> 00:12:44,415
I have a feeling that
the sting is going
294
00:12:44,546 --> 00:12:48,158
to be unbelievably
painful, but I am mentally
295
00:12:48,289 --> 00:12:50,726
prepared to take the sting.
296
00:12:50,857 --> 00:12:52,423
And I know that this is
the moment that everybody's
297
00:12:52,554 --> 00:12:53,729
been waiting for.
298
00:12:53,860 --> 00:12:55,209
Whoa, look at that stinger.
299
00:13:25,892 --> 00:13:29,896
Wow, it's
turning red already.
300
00:13:30,026 --> 00:13:30,810
Talk to me.
301
00:13:30,940 --> 00:13:31,723
What are you feeling?
302
00:13:31,854 --> 00:13:32,637
Oh, man.
303
00:13:32,768 --> 00:13:33,508
Oh, man.
304
00:13:33,638 --> 00:13:35,031
Yep, nope, it's bad.
305
00:13:35,162 --> 00:13:36,337
Oh, man, it's
getting a lot worse--
306
00:13:36,467 --> 00:13:37,468
What
does it feel like?
307
00:13:37,599 --> 00:13:38,905
Really quickly.
308
00:13:39,035 --> 00:13:42,386
So far not as bad as
the bullet ant though.
309
00:13:42,517 --> 00:13:43,344
Oh.
310
00:13:43,474 --> 00:13:45,346
No, no, don't-- hold on.
311
00:13:48,740 --> 00:13:50,046
It's a sharpshooting pain.
312
00:13:55,095 --> 00:13:56,531
No
turning back now, buddy.
313
00:14:00,230 --> 00:14:02,319
That's a lot of bees.
314
00:14:02,450 --> 00:14:05,453
My leg is shaking.
315
00:14:05,583 --> 00:14:07,542
Oww, stung on the lip.
316
00:14:10,980 --> 00:14:11,981
We got it.
317
00:14:12,112 --> 00:14:12,852
We got this.
318
00:14:12,982 --> 00:14:14,244
Getting stung a lot.
319
00:14:14,375 --> 00:14:16,246
I've gotten stung
about six times.
320
00:14:16,377 --> 00:14:18,292
You definitely have
a full neck of bees.
321
00:14:18,422 --> 00:14:20,163
I can feel them all.
322
00:14:20,294 --> 00:14:21,469
Are you still getting stung.
323
00:14:21,599 --> 00:14:23,384
No, not right now.
324
00:14:26,213 --> 00:14:27,649
So what does Coyote Peter--
325
00:14:27,779 --> 00:14:29,346
Oww, it stung the lip again.
326
00:14:29,477 --> 00:14:32,219
No.
327
00:14:32,349 --> 00:14:34,090
All right, I think I
need to get them off.
328
00:14:34,221 --> 00:14:35,657
Are you OK, or
you want them off?
329
00:14:35,787 --> 00:14:37,354
It's a lot of pain.
330
00:14:37,485 --> 00:14:38,965
Go ahead and just jump real
hard and just knock 'em off.
331
00:14:39,095 --> 00:14:39,922
Whoa.
332
00:14:42,969 --> 00:14:44,884
They're all in my face.
333
00:14:45,014 --> 00:14:46,494
My eyes!
334
00:14:46,624 --> 00:14:48,061
You all right?
335
00:15:01,988 --> 00:15:07,341
There it is, the
Japanese giant hornet.
336
00:15:07,471 --> 00:15:11,432
And I would say the giant
is an understatement.
337
00:15:11,562 --> 00:15:15,044
From its head to its
thorax down its legs
338
00:15:15,175 --> 00:15:17,220
which end in
grappling hooked feet
339
00:15:17,351 --> 00:15:20,528
and then, of course, that
enormous pulsating abdomen,
340
00:15:20,658 --> 00:15:24,706
everything about
this creature screams
341
00:15:24,836 --> 00:15:26,534
run in the other direction.
342
00:15:26,664 --> 00:15:30,712
Yet here we are on the doorstep
of the executioner wasp.
343
00:15:30,842 --> 00:15:32,409
What we're going
to find out today
344
00:15:32,540 --> 00:15:37,849
is just how painful the sting
of this hornet really is.
345
00:15:39,155 --> 00:15:40,591
Oh, the stinger's
stuck in my arm.
346
00:15:47,859 --> 00:15:49,252
How bad is it?
347
00:15:49,383 --> 00:15:52,255
Oh, man, wave at
dizziness really quick.
348
00:15:56,172 --> 00:15:57,957
Searing pain.
349
00:16:01,525 --> 00:16:06,966
When the stinger went into
my arm, I had this like wave.
350
00:16:07,096 --> 00:16:10,230
Like, a wave came over
me, and I got super dizzy.
351
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,232
Almost didn't feel
what was happening.
352
00:16:12,362 --> 00:16:14,277
And then the pain
just was, like,
353
00:16:14,408 --> 00:16:17,324
immediate, immediately searing.
354
00:16:27,508 --> 00:16:29,771
Holy cow.
355
00:16:29,901 --> 00:16:32,252
Oww, oww, oww!
356
00:16:37,170 --> 00:16:39,041
OK, I'm going to have take my
hands out pretty quickly, guys.
357
00:16:44,046 --> 00:16:45,047
You
can do it, man.
358
00:16:45,178 --> 00:16:46,135
I can't.
I can't.
359
00:16:46,266 --> 00:16:46,831
I got to stop.
I got to stop.
360
00:16:46,962 --> 00:16:47,919
I got to stop.
361
00:16:48,050 --> 00:16:49,312
Oh, they're still on me.
362
00:16:49,443 --> 00:16:53,838
Aah, my hands are
on fire right now.
363
00:16:53,969 --> 00:16:55,057
It is worse than
the harvester ant.
364
00:16:55,188 --> 00:16:56,798
There's no question about it.
365
00:16:56,928 --> 00:17:00,193
In total, I sustained over 300
stings, and for over a week,
366
00:17:00,323 --> 00:17:02,195
I suffered through
incredible discomfort,
367
00:17:02,325 --> 00:17:05,459
which included flashes of
pain and continuous itching.
368
00:17:05,589 --> 00:17:07,591
It took over 30 days
for the postulates
369
00:17:07,722 --> 00:17:11,030
to completely diminish, and they
left behind a trail of scars
370
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,120
that today serve as a constant
reminder of why you never
371
00:17:14,250 --> 00:17:15,599
want to tangle with fire ants.
372
00:17:21,562 --> 00:17:26,175
That is the largest species
of wasp in the United
373
00:17:26,306 --> 00:17:27,698
States, ladies and gentlemen.
374
00:17:27,829 --> 00:17:29,918
Now you look at
this insect and you
375
00:17:30,049 --> 00:17:33,835
say to yourself tarantula hawk.
376
00:17:33,965 --> 00:17:36,533
Well, it's not a tarantula
and it's not a hawk,
377
00:17:36,664 --> 00:17:40,276
but like a hawk, they
hunt for tarantulas.
378
00:17:40,407 --> 00:17:43,801
This hawk is so quick, she
will spin her abdomen up
379
00:17:43,932 --> 00:17:45,325
underneath the belly
of the tarantula,
380
00:17:45,455 --> 00:17:47,370
insert that quarter
inch stinger,
381
00:17:47,501 --> 00:17:50,112
and the venom will
instantly put that tarantula
382
00:17:50,243 --> 00:17:52,419
into a state of paralysis.
383
00:17:52,549 --> 00:17:54,464
And this, ladies and
gentlemen, is where
384
00:17:54,595 --> 00:17:56,510
the true horror story begins.
385
00:18:11,090 --> 00:18:13,440
You all right?
386
00:18:13,570 --> 00:18:16,791
Yep--
387
00:18:16,921 --> 00:18:18,097
Oh my gosh!
388
00:18:21,012 --> 00:18:24,320
You OK?
389
00:18:26,931 --> 00:18:28,846
Tell me how you're
really feeling.
390
00:18:28,977 --> 00:18:31,414
I can't move my arm!
391
00:18:38,552 --> 00:18:42,469
That is the most intense
pain I've ever felt.
392
00:18:42,599 --> 00:18:45,472
Don't think I can talk.
393
00:18:52,696 --> 00:18:54,133
You OK, man?
394
00:18:54,263 --> 00:18:55,134
I'm getting nervous.
395
00:18:55,264 --> 00:18:56,526
Can you feel anything like--
396
00:18:56,657 --> 00:18:57,397
do we need to worry?
397
00:18:57,527 --> 00:18:58,398
No.
398
00:18:58,528 --> 00:18:59,573
I just can't move my arm.
399
00:19:03,098 --> 00:19:05,753
It is-- it's like my arm is in
a state of paralysis right now.
400
00:19:12,716 --> 00:19:15,632
The eastern mountainous
slopes of Costa Rica
401
00:19:15,763 --> 00:19:19,288
seem to be a world swarming
with stinging insects,
402
00:19:19,419 --> 00:19:22,900
and if bullet ants and
warrior wasps were not enough,
403
00:19:23,031 --> 00:19:27,253
the remote untamed wilds of
this rainforest ecosystem
404
00:19:27,383 --> 00:19:30,517
had one more painful
sting up their sleeve.
405
00:19:30,647 --> 00:19:33,128
With an intimidating
specimen safely contained
406
00:19:33,259 --> 00:19:36,958
within the viewing capsule, we
return to our jungle base camp
407
00:19:37,088 --> 00:19:40,091
and began scouring the internet
for an identification to our
408
00:19:40,222 --> 00:19:41,092
find.
409
00:19:44,139 --> 00:19:46,097
All right, guys,
so we have looked
410
00:19:46,228 --> 00:19:48,970
up vespid wasps
of Latin America,
411
00:19:49,100 --> 00:19:51,581
and I found a great site.
412
00:19:51,712 --> 00:19:53,366
And I have found
out what this is.
413
00:19:53,496 --> 00:19:54,323
What is it?
414
00:19:54,454 --> 00:19:56,151
It is not a new species.
415
00:19:56,282 --> 00:19:59,023
It is actually called
the executioner wasp.
416
00:19:59,154 --> 00:20:00,677
What?
417
00:20:00,808 --> 00:20:03,724
Talk about
a horrific name, right?
418
00:20:03,854 --> 00:20:06,292
He seems completely
calmed down at this point.
419
00:20:06,422 --> 00:20:08,642
It is just waiting
to inflict a sting.
420
00:20:08,772 --> 00:20:09,643
Oh,
421
00:20:09,773 --> 00:20:10,600
Yep, I'm ready.
422
00:20:14,909 --> 00:20:18,869
I'm Coyote Petersen, and
I'm about to enter the sting
423
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,177
zone with the executioner wasp.
424
00:20:22,308 --> 00:20:24,788
Here we go.
425
00:20:24,919 --> 00:20:30,272
1, 2, 3.
426
00:20:47,507 --> 00:20:49,465
Oh my gosh!
427
00:20:49,596 --> 00:20:51,859
Oh, that's really
bad really quick.
428
00:20:57,995 --> 00:20:59,432
Right there.
429
00:20:59,562 --> 00:21:00,694
You can see the venom
coming right out of my arm
430
00:21:00,824 --> 00:21:01,651
right there.
431
00:21:01,782 --> 00:21:02,565
You see that?
432
00:21:02,696 --> 00:21:04,132
Oh my gosh!
433
00:21:04,263 --> 00:21:05,960
It's getting worse.
434
00:21:08,876 --> 00:21:10,443
Stop burning!
435
00:21:24,892 --> 00:21:27,938
Now in this instance, I do
not know if the pain is going
436
00:21:28,069 --> 00:21:32,073
to last for more than an hour,
more than five hours, more
437
00:21:32,203 --> 00:21:35,337
than 36 hours but I can tell
you right now that the pain has
438
00:21:35,468 --> 00:21:37,861
lasted longer than the tarantula
hawk and at this moment
439
00:21:37,992 --> 00:21:39,428
it is worse than the bullet ant.
440
00:21:39,559 --> 00:21:42,301
So in this immediate
presentation,
441
00:21:42,431 --> 00:21:47,044
I am declaring the executioner
wasp as being the king of sting
442
00:21:47,175 --> 00:21:48,350
as it currently stands.
443
00:21:51,571 --> 00:21:52,615
All right, guys.
444
00:21:52,746 --> 00:21:54,008
I'm just going to
go and give you
445
00:21:54,138 --> 00:21:54,878
an outro because I'm
starting to have trouble
446
00:21:55,009 --> 00:21:56,140
composing my words here.
447
00:21:56,271 --> 00:21:57,446
Yeah,
we're concerned, man.
448
00:21:57,577 --> 00:21:58,317
You're not out of the
woods yet are you?
449
00:21:58,447 --> 00:22:00,057
No.
450
00:22:00,188 --> 00:22:01,929
I'm Coyote Petersen.
451
00:22:02,059 --> 00:22:06,020
Be brave, stay wild.
452
00:22:06,150 --> 00:22:07,891
We'll see on the next adventure.
453
00:22:08,022 --> 00:22:10,154
Man, that's intense.
