9. The Wolf Man
Shaun Ellis is an English animal researcher whose formal training started at the Wolf Education and Research Center in northern Idaho. During his time there, he gained acceptance into a wolf pack and lived among them. He also learned how to identify individual pack members and realized through his observations of their behavior that wolves are highly intelligent and intuitive creatures with complex social systems.
8. The Crocodile Cuddler
You’d think that “Crocodile” and “Cuddle” don’t really go together. In Costa Rica in 1989, a fisherman named Gilberto “Chito” Shedden discovered a distressed male crocodile on the banks of the Reventazón River. The emaciated animal was reduced to just 150 pounds (70 kg) and was near death. A cattle farmer had shot him in his left eye, rendering him both injured and helpless.
7. The Man Who Raised A Lion
Frikkie Von Solms is a retired lion caretaker who lives in South Africa. In 2004, when he was still working, he rescued a cub named Zion, who was born into captivity and separated from his mother due to a fear that the feline’s father would kill him.
6. The Visiting Penguin
In May 2011 on the Brazilian island of Ilha Grande, which is located near the mainland city of Rio de Janeiro, a retired bricklayer named João Pereira de Souza came upon a penguin. It was a Magellanic penguin covered in oil who could barely move. He cleaned and fed the bird, whom he named Dindim, and monitored his condition for several days.
5. Pals With A Polar Bear
Mark and Dawn Dumas are bear trainers who own and operate a menagerie and training facility called Beyond Bears Inc. in Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada, near Vancouver. One of their animal actors is an 800-pound (362.9 kg) polar bear named Agee, who has starred in high-budget commercials and movies.
4. The Controversial Conservationist
British businessman and conservationist John Damian Aspinall runs the John Aspinall Foundation, an organization his father started and which focuses on releasing captive-bred gorillas and other animals into the wild. Aspinall wants to close all zoos — a vision that has sparked a lot of controversy over the years. Most experts believe that after spending a certain amount of time in the care of humans, an animal cannot survive in nature — especially if they were born and raised in captivity.
3. Baby Elephant To The Rescue
Derrick Thompson is the co-founder of the Save Elephant Foundation, which runs Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai, Thailand. He’s especially close with an elephant he rescued as a calf named Kham Lha, who absolutely adores her caretaker and has even accepted him into her herd. When she first arrived at the sanctuary, Thompson made it a point to show her love and help her heal from her mental anguish.
2. The Hyena Man
Abbas Yusuf lives in the ancient city of Harar in eastern Ethiopia. Every night, a pack of spotted hyenas roams the streets in search of food, and every night, Yusuf gives them scraps of meat, which they calmly take right out of his hand. Would you be brave enough to feed a wild hyena??
1. The Real-life Mowgli
Tippi Degre was born in Namibia in 1990 to French parents who were freelance wildlife photographers and filmmakers. She spent the first ten years of her childhood living fearlessly among southern Africa’s most dangerous wild animals and even befriended many of them, including an elephant, leopard, ostrich, and a giant bullfrog, as well as meerkats, lions, giraffes, chameleons, and snakes — just to name a few.

Stares at siblings
im related to a demon apparently
So happy to hear that the croc lived such a long life with his human ?
i rescued a cockroach when i was young. now 20 years later, we are still the best of friends
It’s not a wild animal. But I rescued a dwarf hamster pup and had feed him by hand and now he’s basically puppy trained he comes when called, will do tricks and will always stay close to me even when he could go as far as he wishes. I can also identify his mood and what’s on with his different squeaks. He loves posing for photos and loves nothing more than to cuddle up to sleep with me. He’s still tiny and hasn’t grown much but he’s so loving and affectionate. He like my child and will get so excited when I come home from work or uni
I had a donkey that followed me every day to school and wait for me to get out ?
that hiena from the thumbnail is a monster, wtf those fkin muscles, can tear a human like paper…
Had to turn it off at 3:51, geeeezzz what an obnoxious voice..
I think zoos are horrible- I do hope some are closed i can understand if they are hurt and could not take care of them selves but most look so sad.
Plz do a vid. Of most scariest places in the philippines!and shout out? great content!?
Awesome video
Yes more documentary of human interaction with wild animals. Love you videos!
All about the trust bond n know the human won't harm
Animals have more caring in them than any human , which is very sad …
Some humans don't have the patience with certain animals n expect them 2b behave the way the want 2 , if the animal don't , the abuse comes out …. which is totally wrong ….
and you know what instead of burning the body and putting it in a box i actually buried it in my lawn may be weird but hey animals deserve it too and please don't ask how he died it was really sad
i found him when i decided to visit the amazon i saw a bunch of parahna's near by and since his home is threatened as it is since it was very young at the time it was legal due to the fact that it was just hatched when i took it in so therefore it would be considered born in captivity
you could stick your hand in his mouth and he won't bite he'll keep it open till you take it out so let a lesson be learned intelligent animals aren't the the only one with that capability. sadly he died last year
think that's crazy try building a relationship with a alligator gar
I've always wondered, do we humans simply "see" personality in animals due to how we're wired emotionally, even though there may be nothing there but random instinct or impulses? Or do animals actually "acquire" personality from us through their interactions with us?
I love animals but I would never keep a wild one. The closes I would come to that is a Bengal cat. That polar bear also doesn't like other females to be around that guy she barely even likes his wife! I kind of agree with the releasing back into the wild for the animals but it's true they can be worse off out there when they are so used to humans. I know we could just leave them there but what if they truly need help?
i learn new things that i did not know everyday thanks for the awsome vids hey can you please do a video on apache indians
Nobody allows to keep animals from wild .no good reason why ? Someone who doesn't know watch your pet not here
Do not end your channel
thanks for the different videos
For like fifthteen year's
I live with a snapping turtle
I was friends with a bee when I was 7. She'd come to my back porch every day and I'd give her a flower, she even chased a wasp away at one point. I named her Bumble and she never stung me, I could hold her and everything. I kinda miss her.
Wolf is man's best friend!
If the wild animal decides to stay even if the can be free than its okay to keep them ?
8:23 I think there's a difference between keeping wild animals and keeping them as pets.
You can't treat them like a domesticated dog or cat. If you have a wild animal, you have to spend a lot of time with them every day. And I don't just mean cuddles and feeding it. So if you have a job, it'd be impossible unless your job involves the animal.
Ive been a long time subscriber and watch your videos at home and listen to them in the car and now my 7 year old sister, Melí, and my 4 year old daughter, Ruby, love watching them too. They love learning the intresting facts that you talk about! ? Even my 16 year old brother, Miguel , and my daughter's father, Ralph, have joined and listen to them as well ? ! Keep it up we love and appreciate the effort you put into your research and videos !!! ?
the elephant one hit me right in the heart ? she tried to save him ?
this whole video is too adorable ? i cant take it
13:17 it's literally right there on screen, how could this end up incorrectly in the script
Very amazing and interesting! ???
Elephants and penguins some of my favorite people.
I love the part about the lion
If you keep wild animals, you need to have enough space for them to have a decent habitat that is close to their natural habitat. Then they are safe from poaching and get fed on a regular basis, but they can also forage in their habitat. Wild animals don't live as long as captive animals because the wild is a dangerous place. Some animals are very happy in captivity because they get fed for free and don't have to worry about being eaten or killed.
You get there permits what's the problem. Owning animals is a human need they are family weather wild or domesticated
Kalau buaya tu honggah kepala kau baru tau
I have a wild life story: my husband became a science teacher after we had been married about ten years and shortly after that he walked in and dropped a very tiny golden coachwhip snake into my lap and said think you can nurse it back to health, I am a nurse. We went to town and bought everything we thought we would need and a cheap blender, so I could blend the food,medicine and vitamins the vet told us we would need. We also bought guppies for the snake water because the vet said we would know when she was ready to eat on her own because the guppies would start disappearing. We named her worm because she was so tiny and to keep her warm we carried her around in our pockets for a long time. When my second grandson needed a science project I lent him worm, who by now was about 6 feet long and thin because they are in the racing group of snakes and unfortunately he left the lid unlatched after feeding her and she got out. Not knowing his house as she knew our, they could not find her and since they lived in the country I think she returned to the wild. Thank goodness after she regained her health we never fed her directly, we put the live food in her very large glass enclosure and she would hunt it down so she had skills. And for any of you who think a snake can not be a good pet, she would try to get into your pockets, she would rest on my shoulder while I watched tv or crocheted, she would drape herself on the tv when they were thicker and drop her tail down on the screen just to tease us and living in the country I never had a bug or mouse problem. I cried when he lost her.
Mere phone pe to har chote tatte ate hai.
Kya farakk padta hai. Gadhe ki jaat thode hi badalti hai mere sansar me reh ke.
Gadhe hi rahenge.
Hyenas are some of the best mothers, I'm surprised Dean Schneider isn't on this list.
