Russia’s CRAZIEST Animals!

Wow, look at this bro. He is tall. What do you think? Yeah, he's huge. Can you imagine one of these guys walking up on you? Oh my god. It is the same thing? It is? It is what you think it is? Yeah. That's so small. See, they're like pennies, pennies. Oh it is, yeah, yeah, yeah. Wow, thank you. Thank you for your translation. Bye-bye. What's up? Any other vaccine, AstraZeneca, Pfizer, stuff like this don't work. You need to have the Russian Sputnik vaccine. We got our jacket off, but I'm going to keep wearing my Russian hat. So the reason we're at this place, I never really explained, is that this is a zoological museum. They have some really, really fascinating specimens. I like this big whale up here. But the specimen that I'm looking for most are the mammoth whales. Mammoth. Whales. The mammoth. I'm new to this whole tripod thing. I usually don't use my phone. I think GoPro is easier because when I film like this, everybody sees my screen. So, okay, I'm going to look around the museum and we'll see if I can find some cool things to show you guys. The good thing about the museum is that everything is all completely in Russian. What is this? That's right. They just had their name. I think I can figure out that this is a blue whale. Actually, you know, scuba diving with sharks is quite fun because despite how mean they look, like this guy, the hammerhead, they do look really scary, but they're actually very just not curious. They're just kind of like stupid. They come by, and when you're scuba diving, they'll come to you and they'll just bump into you and then keep going on. So they're not really curious. They're not coming to bite you. Whoa, look at this guy. Beautiful. These are the guys that I really, really want to see because you're up in Murmansk. But most importantly, I want to go scuba diving to go get these guys. Spider crabs. And so when you go scuba diving with them, then you catch it on its back, and then you snap off the front claws so it can't get at you. Snap off the claws and then bring it back up into the ship and cook it on the scuba diving ship. So hopefully that's an adventure I can do for you sometime soon. Something I just want to do. Hi. Would you like to say anything, Ilya? What? Say something. It's creepy. So scary. This place? Yes. I like it. I'm a biologist. I know. I learned it in my life. I hate biology, you know? How dare you? Very big. Polar bears. Yes, of course. They're actually... Polar bears are the only animals that actively hunt humans. But the thing that we came here for is this bad boy. This is a Yakutian mammoth. Different from a mastodon. It's the tusks. One of them is straight, and the other one is curved like this. But this guy was pulled out from Central-Eastern Russia. It's all in Russian, so I can't really explain it to you. But he was found sitting like this. But most importantly, he still has the fur and this kind of stuff. Some of it is original, some of it's not. But a really, really excellent discovery. What do you think? Huge. Yeah, huge. What makes him so interesting is that these guys are dug up almost primarily just for the tusks. They're different. Like I said, so this is mammoth. Mastodon then has the straight tusks. But basically, these Yakutians or Central Asians, people that live in this region, they'll come and they'll dig up just to find the bones, get the tusk. Of course, tusk is illegal to kill elephants for them now. You can't kill African elephants, Asian elephants to get their tusk. And so since they can't kill living animals for it, and it's like poaching is so protected, I mean like so many governments are stopping it from happening, that instead what people do then is if they actually want the tusk, especially in China, they're really valuable carved tusks. And so instead they'll be digging up the fossils of old mammoths and mastodons to get the tusk then. And that's all they're going after. They just want the tusk. And then they'll probably pound it off for about $2,500 or so to bring it over to the Chinese border. The Chinese border, then it'll probably get bought for about $16,000. And then once it gets carved up and everything, then they get to be worth like a quarter million or so, a carved up tusk. And they can put, you know, people on it. They can put designs, all this kind of stuff. But what's interesting about it, though, is that they'll come in and they'll pull out just the tusk and then almost all the other bones. Most people usually don't care for them. And then this one, of course, it's really lucky that it's all together. And they actually kept it together. Some of these treasure hunters, they're actually good guys because if they find something really remarkable like this, sometimes they actually will just give it to the scientific institutions. But other times they'll just take the tusk and then throw out the rest of the bones. They'll get washed down into the river, a whole bunch of prehistoric bones. And here's one more mammoth, a baby mammoth. I think there's actually another one somewhere around here. I've never been to this museum, of course. But I think we... Oh, here, take a look at this. I'll get curious. I think it's Zina. I can't remember its name. I saw a documentary about this bad guy once. But it's almost like petrified, turned into stone. Again, we have some of the fur. But what was most remarkable about these guys is that recently they discovered some that still have some frozen blood because it's up in permafrost. So they're able to clone the animal, essentially. We get some more of them. This is, of course, what it would look more of. Yeah, mammoth. Massive, massive tusks. So something like this bad guy, this would be a really, really nice payday for some guys. So they'll take it off, and they'll carve all of this. And then all of this, no one would care about, which I think is really sad, really interesting. Look at a whole bunch of them over here. Could you imagine just walking in the fields and just out of nowhere, these big guys? I mean, you can see how big it is compared to me. Even I'm tall. But if you imagine one of these guys walking up on you, like, oh my god. But it makes me really curious because, like I said, most of the time people are just coming for the tusk, and so the rest of the bones just get thrown out. They don't care about them. So I want to go out to these dig sites out in Yakutsk and see if we can go find some of these bones. I don't think you're allowed to take them out of Russia, but it'd just be interesting to go, you know, everything from elk to, of course, mammoth bones and all this kind of stuff, shark teeth, megalodon teeth, megalodon teeth and this kind of stuff. One last kind of interesting fact about these guys. Here's some more interesting stuff. I thought that was something else for a second. But I don't think it's what I think it is. We got some hair samples and this kind of stuff. Here you can see the bone, this kind of stuff. One kind of interesting thing is that a lot of... It is the same thing. It is? Yeah. It is what you think it is? Yeah. That's so small. Wow. Thank you. Thank you for your translation. It's actually very small. It's not as big as I thought it was. One day, eventually, I'll post a video of... I went to the world's largest palaeological museum in Reykjavik, Iceland. I just never posted the video about it, but a huge museum dedicated to penises from every animal. And this is one penis that I have never seen off of an animal. But I was going to mention, though, it's actually kind of fitting that this is here because I was going to mention that a lot of the mammoths that they find are actually male. And the reason for this is that most of the time, in order to get a fossil, it needs to fall in a bog or something like this. And so, a lot of times, it's males that are not quite, I don't know, say, bouncing around stupid and they're playing around, and then they actually fall into mud or something and then they suffocate and die in the mud and then their body actually gets preserved. And so that's why a lot of them are male. These would be elephants. Still just nothing compared to this, though. I also forgot to mention this one. This is another one of the famous ones. I was correct. That one is Dima. I did find a sign for it eventually. Russian. Извините. Sorry. Извините. Sorry, I can't translate. But, again, really, really fascinating that it has all the fur on it. The way that these guys are discovered is actually really, really cool. So, like I said, this is Dima. Here's the photo I found of how they dig it out. Like, that's the way that it's found in the soil. I just found, like, five feet underground. Man, it'd be wicked to go check these out. Despite all looking the same... Despite looking the same, these zebras are not all the same. Everybody always thinks when they see a zebra that, you know, just, like, the colors and everything. One of the main distinguishing factors, especially ones in, like, ones that you'll find in, like, the Serengeti and some of those most famous safari lands would be, like, the one back here. And the way you can tell them is that on the front, the stripes are going up and down, and then towards the back, they go side to side. And so some of these ones, as you can see, this would be a completely different species. Shubham has just come to tell me that the special appendage that we saw just a second ago was not a real one. What did you say? The one that we saw... Was from the baby one. From a baby. So the real one, they're saying... Do you want me to really zoom in on that? These big guys... It's not going to say exactly on here, but this is a European bison. And these are the American bison. We have these... These are special near my home area. In fact, our football teams are named after them. You can tell basically in the bump of the neck. And wow, look at this bro. He is tall. So the bumble is camel, right? No, no, no. This one's... This is dromedon. Because it's got the 1D. Oh, yeah. This one is... Bromary? Bromodary? I think she's saying закрыта. Close to. Siberian tiger? Siberian. Pantara tigris. As well, we have the lions over here. It's a... It's weird... It's weird coming to see them here because we've seen them in the wild. We've seen them alive. And like... I can feel Serengeti. See, it is saying even it is in Serengeti. Yeah. It's near to Cleveland. This part of the lines. Actually, no, no. This is southern. This is Lake Victoria. Yeah, yeah. So this would be like... That's not true. That's not accurate. Okay, Shu and I are going to correct this map. These lions are not found right here. There's no lions. These are people. This is where the capital of Tanzania is. Dudoma. So the tigers are actually... The lions are north of this. They're actually over in this area. And then on the Kenyan border. And there's not really any up here on the Ugandan side. But they'd be mostly right there. So this is incorrect. Oh, there's me? Where am I at? Okay, so we're walking around. Fancy Indians. Yeah. Namaste, namaste. What's your name, bhai? I'm Amit. Amit and... Anis. Perfect, perfect. Nice to meet you guys. Is it a fire? I don't know. School bell. Okay, go. Zaklita. Leave. Why do you want to sew bread in? Julia asked it. Why do you want to sew bread in? In the room. In the room? In the room. So loud. Apparently, Julia thinks that this is me. Okay, ready? No, no, no. No, no, wait. Zaklita. Okay, we're heading out now. I think that's going to wrap up this video. The Zoological Museum. I'd actually recommend it. It's kind of a cool place. It's not expensive. It was 400 rubles. For a student. No, a student was 200. 200, yeah. A student is $3 and a normal ticket is $6. So, do svidaniya. Any last words? Bye-bye.
