I’ve always wondered in events like that if fish are getting sucked up out of the water and launched hundreds of feet away
The way it moves it’s mouth almost makes it look like someone has their hand and arm in an incredibly realistic snake puppet.
I remember that being from a few years ago. That was her elderly mother getting out of the backseat running after it.
That was my thought. Like what good does it do to run after a tiger of that size? Of course you would as a reaction and hope you can scare it off but the odds of you doing anything to stop a tiger from getting its prey is pretty pointless without a weapon.
Legit gave me PTSD - had a Emerald Tree Boa (same snake) as a pet and it bit the fuck out of me once. Was able to sell it to a breeder but that was definitely the worst bite I've had and I've probably had 4-5 snakebites.
Not really a nature is scary - but wasn't sure where else to put this: The Banks apparently y'all have Wood Bison coming back. Species thought to be extinct not long ago and then they found a small herd in middle Canada and introduced them back to Alaska. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/wood-bison-conservation-alaska-wildlife/
We had 2 people bitten within an hour and less than a mile apart from each other the other day in Myrtle.
Elaborate here - I can't recall ever seeing someone even injured by one so wtf type of situation do y'all have there on the umbrella front?
For one thing, the poles are metal so they don't really navigate easily once you get past the rectum.
Like are they regularly just flying into people at high speeds because they're not secured or is there something I'm missing?
It really doesn't take much for the high winds we get in the afternoons to get underneath the umbrellas and take off. We've had multiple incidents along the beach where they fly out of tables at hotels and hit people, but this is one of the few times one's actually died. Usually people get hit with the top, but unfortunately this woman had the pole go straight through her.
No basically you got it those things can rip on a windy day. I actually broke my umbrella that same day, wind folded it inside out. The article says it wasn’t that windy that day but that’s crap, we didn’t take the kids to the beach because the sand was whipping off the ground enough into our legs but it would’ve been hitting them in the face "It went through her arm into her rib cage," he said. "She bled out in maybe 30 or 40 seconds." https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2022/08/12/beach-umbrella-death-south-carolina/
On a related note, I bought 10 umbrellas for my property yesterday because most of ours needed to be replaced
Going to Punta Cana for my honeymoon and just learned something whilst searching for drone shark footage. So basically when you hear about the first ever Punta Cana shark attack in January, I’ll probably be the victim.
Jesus that's some incredible footage. The eagle had to have been injured. Hopefully not life-threatening.
Honestly this is my fear at the beach. Not a fear of getting impaled by a beach umbrella, but a fear of my umbrella getting launched by the wind into someone else. I tried to secure that shit as best as I can but I'm nervous on those windy days.
I've seen goats take some insane falls/tumbles and seemingly be perfectly fine right after. Like a person would have died 8 times during that fall and you're just off to new business?
Size to weight ratio. Those small leg bones hold up a lot of weight under a lot of stresses. We find bison remains all the time in the boneyard, basically can use bison leg bones as hammers to knock rocks/other bones out of the wall.
I’m pretty much always team eagle unless it’s somehow battling a pelican, but in this situation I give a ton of credit to the mountain goat.
That's my defense strategy too. Fuck with me and we're goin "asssssssss yooooouuu wiiiiiiish" down this bluff
Hot Rod completely ruined all falling down a hill scenes for me forever The one in Lone Survivor kills me now
I’m going to Punta Cana for my honeymoon in October. Def plan on getting in the water. So fingers crossed you’re still the first. Lol.
