Think you know predators? We put that to the test with a tight, high-energy trivia showdown that blends wild facts, fieldcraft, and a lot of laughs. We kick off with why predator control matters between seasons, then dive straight into the good stuff: a record 276-pound cougar from... find out where, how hyenas out-bite lions and steal meals, and why Texas holds the coyote crown while California’s policies complicate management and drive more human-wildlife conflict.

From there, the conversation widens and the strategies sharpen. We break down two coyote weaknesses you can actually use in the field, talk through how echo and angle shape follow-up shots, and explore wolves as the planet’s most historically widespread land predator. The Himalayan wolf steals a scene with high-altitude blood adaptations, proving that terrain and physiology can flip the script on what thrives where. We even hand the crown for most successful hunter to an unexpected champion—the dragonfly—whose 95% hit rate reframes what it means to be efficient.

The stakes rise with the deadliest single animal on record: a tigress responsible for 436 deaths in the early 1900s, a sobering look at how injury and pressure can change behavior. We close by settling the strongest cat bite debate—hint: it’s not the lion—and pulling practical takeaways for callers, trappers, and anyone trying to read a set, a sound, or a silhouette a little better. Along the way, we shout out Delta Waterfowl’s youth work, community support, and the value of getting new hunters in the game.

If you love hunting, biology, and a little friendly chaos, this one hits the mark. Listen, keep score, and tell us your favorite fact. Subscribe, share with a buddy who needs a rematch, and drop a review with how many questions you nailed.

SPEAKER_05

This is Hunts on Opening Podcast. I'm your host and rookie guide, Ken Meyer. I love everything hunting, the outdoors, and all things associated with it. From stories to how-tos, you'll find it here. Welcome to the podcast. Hey, how's it going? Thanks so much for listening in to this week's podcast. You guys are gonna have a pile of fun listening to this. I know you will. It's another trivia one, okay? So we've got uh we've got two great teams for this trivia. I'm telling you, it's a close one. You're not gonna know who wins this. It's a predator hunting one. So this time of year, uh, we're after predators, you know. It's in between hunting seasons, so we're gonna get after them. This one here, you you guys are gonna learn something. You're gonna have a lot of fun. And if you don't know the answers to what we're talking about, surely our guests are going to answer them for you. But you guys are gonna have a lot of fun playing along at home because the answers aren't answered quickly by the people playing, and that's okay, because that gives you guys time at home to answer along with them or before them. Uh it's a lot of fun. We're gonna learn a lot, there's a lot of interesting facts in there. We cover a lot of areas, species, and uh keep listening. Now, if you're like me, you like seeing uh putting a face to the person who is talking. So if you're looking at the podcast profile picture, in the top left corner, the serious looking dude there, that's Dalton Patterson. Directly down from him, the happy go lucky smile, we've got Anthony McLean. Right next to him in the middle is Ryan Wesalius. Next to Ryan is Jesse Ells, and then directly above from Jesse is uh your crazy host, myself, Ken Meyer. Oh, and if you were looking to get a hold of us to maybe come on the podcast or suggest somebody for it, or just reach out to me, you can email me, hunts on outfitting at gmail.com, or you can find us on Facebook, Hunts on Outfitting, or find myself on there, Ken Meyer. Feel free to reach out. Some of you guys have been, it's been great talking with you from all over. Now, I find that as hunters, deer hunters, so everyone in this room hunts deer, turkey, etc., it is our not right uh obligation that we should be shooting predators when given a chance, right? So I think that uh this it's that time of year where, you know, we're in between hunting seasons, it's going on late winter, we're coming into spring, it's time to get a handle on these predators. Because the snow's getting deeper here, they're gonna be chasing the deer, they're gonna be after the dang turkeys in the spring and the fawns, all that. So it's time to uh time to get them. So we are gonna have a trivia. We are have our very fine sponsor, River's Edge Game Calls. What do they sell? What don't they sell? It'd be a shorter list. But if they you've got a call that you want, they sell it. Anthony, name a call that you want. Boom, they sell it. So we've got they've got uh he makes uh diaphragm turkey calls, Kenneth McDonald does River's Edge Game Calls, he makes scratch bot turkey calls, he makes predator calls, predator in distress, crow calls, buck grunts, everywhere shipped all across North America. If you're looking for a great genuine call, River's Edge Game Calls. Now, Anthony, this is your second time on the podcast. I'm gonna get you to take that. This is the prize that we're playing for tonight. It is a wooden rabbit squealer. Anthony, put it up to your letts and give her a whirl. Okay, we're gonna have to play with that a little bit. You gotta put your hand over the bottom. Yeah, give her nice. It's you know, we worked on it, right? Hopefully you'll win it. You can practice more. Interesting fact, before you guys got here, I was bored, and you can see the end that the air comes out of. It looks bigger, but it's not. It's kind of smaller, and the end that you blow in is a bit bigger. And I found out earlier, I was like sitting here waiting for you guys to hear. And I realized I could take my pinky toe and put it in this end that you just blew in and pick it up. So I was like, wow, it fits. So, anyways, it's handy. Um, yeah, it was this call. Uh, you didn't taste that though, really. No. I washed my feet last night. Um, so that's what we're playing for. Uh, I'm gonna go around the room. We're gonna have a quick chat before we get into this trivia and fire it up. We're gonna go over the rules and everything for it. Uh let's go around the room and introduce ourselves, starting with the guy looking at me.

SPEAKER_00

Um Anthony McLean.

SPEAKER_05

Right on, Anthony. Anthony, what do you do for work?

SPEAKER_00

Uh do uh construction, concrete, and steel buildings with my father, and I also fire him.

SPEAKER_05

Nice. All right, good. Up next. What's your mic number? One shit. All right, good. I'm Dalton. Dalton Patterson. He is the most, the vanilla gorilla himself. He's got the most amount of appearances on Hunt Sunnet Fitting Podcast, and we're fired up to have him here. Um, okay, Dalton, thanks for coming on. Yeah, thanks for watching. Next. Ryan Wesalius. Ryan, what do you do for work? Dairy farmer. Nice. Good.

SPEAKER_01

And uh Jesse L's.

SPEAKER_05

Jesse, what do you do for work?

SPEAKER_01

Uh forest technician.

SPEAKER_05

Nice. You've technicized Ryan's forest, haven't you?

Ethics And Timing Of Predator Control

SPEAKER_01

Yep. Played with the engine plan on it and then uh cut all the trees off it.

SPEAKER_05

You handled Ryan's wood. And in the forest. God, you guys. Jesse, um, so most of the hoop crew members were able to attend what you put on the other night, and that was the Delta waterfowl dinner. Uh, before we get into the trivia, I want to talk about that a little bit. Jesse, it was a great turnout. It was actually a little too good of a turnout. Let's talk about what happened there.

SPEAKER_01

We originally planned for 200 people. We had about 250 people through the door somehow. Uh, not sure how it happened, but it happened and we controlled it and it turned out to be fine. So it was a huge event.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, because I saw you guys, you guys brought up some extra chairs and tables, but I saw his Mad Dash and I was able to talk to your dad there. We were up talking, and he said I I don't know, he said something with the online sales or sure.

SPEAKER_01

I'm not sure how it happened. There was we had online sales this year, which we didn't have last year, and there was not next year. We're probably not next year because there was a few people walk through the door.

SPEAKER_05

No ticket.

Delta Waterfowl Dinner Recap

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, no ticket. I didn't have them in the system at all, so it was kind of a problem.

SPEAKER_05

As long as they spent money there, but you're not even sure if they spent money to get there to get the ticket. Um the night was a huge success. You guys, you know, you make great revenue, more ducks for the bucks. You guys are be doing uh lots of conservation things, you guys getting youth out and all that. And uh Delta Waterfowl does quite a bit. And I found out recently that Delta Waterfowl is actually older than Ducks Unlimited. So you guys have been saving bucks long.

SPEAKER_02

Ducks and possibly you're wrong twice there.

SPEAKER_05

I don't know if you caught that. Hey, save all the animals, okay? You guys built you guys make pawns?

SPEAKER_01

No, Delta Waterfowl doesn't make pawns. We leave.

SPEAKER_05

Well, if you did, ducks would drink out of it and you'd save them too. Yeah, what do you all right? So here's the thing. Someone's asking, and I know we've talked about this in the podcast a little before. What is the big difference between Ducks Unlimited and Delta Waterfowl?

SPEAKER_01

So Ducks Unlimited, they make the pawns, they do whatever with them. And then Delta Waterfowl, we manage like uh habitats. So with our chapter, we actually take youth out hunting, put them through courses. We're gonna be signing up kids to uh take them out on uh duck hunting events and putting a bunch of kids through hunter safety courses this summer.

SPEAKER_05

You guys do a lot of duck boxes as well? Yeah, we do a ton.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, you guys that helps I think this year I put up about 50 or 60 or just you?

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, really? Wow. You guys know that that's made quite a difference?

SPEAKER_01

Uh we'll see. So they have done it a long time in like Chipman and that area, Sussex. So this year I set up all the habitats around uh Moncton, Rushabucto, that area. So we'll see in the next few years if it makes a difference. Because there's no duck boxes in that area.

SPEAKER_05

Well, not until Delta Waterfowl. Ducks and Limited didn't do that, did they?

SPEAKER_01

They built the ponds that the boxes are in, but yeah, no, we uh do all the heavy lifting. We went and replaced some of the duck boxes on the Ducks Unlimited ponds. Oh, yeah. Did they know you did? Uh probably not.

SPEAKER_02

Well Well, I I assume the two organizations would get along well. I assume so.

SPEAKER_03

I mean, I don't know, but they they have the same rough goals in the end, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

So what's what's next for Delta Waterfowl? Like where it's a new chapter and Jesse's chapter's new.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, yeah. For us, we're just trying to get youth involved. Uh that's that's our goal. That's our future. Yeah, because that's the future of our hunting here in the province. Yeah, awesome.

SPEAKER_05

Very good. Um, Jesse, are you guys going to have a bigger venue next year? Just sell less tickets or keep an eye on things because you guys could have way more than 200 people. Well, obviously.

SPEAKER_02

The Avenir Center.

SPEAKER_01

We actually talked about that as a joke. Yeah, but yeah, probably for the next few years we'll stay with the same venue. Yeah. And then if we start selling out like tickets in the first week that we put them for sale, we're gonna look into bigger venues for sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Perfect. We want to keep it kind of personal for now. Yeah. Try to like keep our audience how it is and then have a uh good audience to uh attend our events every year before we start growing it too big. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05

No, it's walk before you run. Yep, but it's going well. I mean, second year you guys are over selling out, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

So which is crazy. Is that normal trajectory for uh the chapter two chapters?

SPEAKER_01

No, no, no, no. We are the biggest in eastern Canada. Really? Yeah, nice in in our second year, yeah. Really? Yep. It's good with the biggest turnout, not the biggest profit or nothing, but so there's that's all that matters.

SPEAKER_02

As a guy that's gone to both dinners, and a couple of us here have, like last year was good, but this year was better. You could tell, like, you were getting like last year, you know, like you could see it, you were kind of nervous, right? You're not a guy that has done a lot of public speaking. I'm not sure.

SPEAKER_01

That was my first public speaking last year. Completely understandable, right?

SPEAKER_02

There's 250 people there, whatever, watching you. And this year it seemed like it flowed better, and you guys were like chop chop getting everything done.

SPEAKER_01

So we had more to it this year, yeah, and it was less time, so yeah, it worked out pretty good for us. Yeah. Because I expected to go for a long time.

SPEAKER_02

It was a little longer last year, wasn't it? Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

The what I heard last year, the auction went on for like it was just went on too long, basically.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, it was a while. Yeah. Yeah. We had more time to go home to the garage Saturday, so it was good.

SPEAKER_05

Yes, Dalton had uh Dalton had a good good night that night. Dalton was the highest bidder on a couple items.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. Yeah, spent some money. It's good for the ducks. For the ducks. For the ducks, for the youth. For the youth. Yes.

SPEAKER_05

You got a nice table and chairs and a moat mojo decoy basically. And you got a nice book big. Got a nice book bag. Real happy with my book bag. Let's go to Idaho.

SPEAKER_03

Gun case and uh a blind bag. That's right. Oh, you can't see it all. Yeah. So we all come out with some nice prizes. Oh, that's good to hear.

Youth Programs And Conservation Goals

SPEAKER_05

And Jesse, next year, right? Maybe the auctioneer could be your host right here. I'm gonna try to push it. I'm gonna freaking get some bucks for the ducks and the bucks and and all that. Everyone's getting bucks and ducks. We're gonna make money for them. All right. So it's great chat about that. Fired up and ready to go. Um, so you guys sitting here. So I've got team ding versus team Dong. Okay. So these are going to be. Fought real hard on that one. Yeah, I did. And uh who is it? I am Nick Lovin. Well get in here, cuz it is time to play. So on Team Ding, we've got Ryan and Jesse. On Team Dong, we've we've sounds funny to say it loud. We've got Anthony and Dalton, okay? So I've got a list of questions. They are multiple choice, the trivia. All of them have to do with predator hunting. Now, you're probably thinking, like, oh, well, what are the questions? Is it gonna be what's the best rifle for hunting coyotes? What's the best call for getting out bobcat? That is susceptible to anything. The time of day, the area, the weather, how good the call is, all that. So the questions aren't about that. The questions, you guys are gonna learn something, you guys are gonna find it interesting. If you're listening along, I guarantee there's stuff here that you don't know. They're gonna be about predators themselves, okay? Because the other questions are just way too up for debate. All right. So, how it works is I'm gonna ask one team a question, you guys will have a time that I have allowed in my head to answer. If not, the other team can then get that. You guys don't lose a point, that team can then gain that point. Um and we'll get down to if you guys get it wrong, the other team can go, and then after that, where you only have two choices, I'm just gonna tell you. Alright. So, who wants to go first? It does not really matter. We'll start on team ding. So, Anthony, uh nope, that's wrong. Ryan and Jesse. Question number one. Before the current island, what island did Jeffrey Epstein have? Get it? It's predator. No. Um, that's the first and last uh Jeffrey Epstein joke of this podcast. All right, so question one. And we're gonna we're going all around the world, we're going all kinds of different animals. How heavy was the largest ever documented cougar or mountain lion? Is it A, 250 pounds, B, 276 pounds, C, 310 pounds, or D 376 pounds. The heaviest, the largest ever documented cougar. Her name's Stacy. You can find her at your local watering hole. I'm between C and talk it out loud.

SPEAKER_01

C and D. So I was thinking uh B or C, so the common factor here is C.

SPEAKER_03

So you're thinking 310.

SPEAKER_01

I'll go with that.

SPEAKER_05

Talking out, so like I said, you got 250 pounds, 276 pounds, 310, 376. They're a big cat. Now, sometimes they look bigger than they are. It's like wolves. People think wolves are massive, and they are, but sometimes 310 is heavy. That's a big cat.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. It's a big girl. I've seen some pictures of them of people holding them in their arms.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, you always see that where they're bear hugging it and lifting it up.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, and bigger than a man is grown man.

SPEAKER_05

So we'll go C310.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I'll go. Short.

SPEAKER_05

C three ten.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

You see C is not the right answer, boys, but you're close. Uh Anthony and Dalton, team dong. Talk out loud, swing the mic back and forth.

SPEAKER_00

I don't know. I uh I'm kind of I was thinking the same thing they were, maybe C, but uh like 375 pounds. I think you said that seems like a pretty big cat, but I don't know what do you think, Dalton.

SPEAKER_02

I'm thinking B. And C's gone, and I don't think I don't think it's that big D 250, 376. 250 is a pretty even number. So I I'm thinking, not that a cat can't weigh an even number, but you know what I mean. It's a round number, right?

SPEAKER_05

Well, that's the thing. They always land on their feet and they always blame.

SPEAKER_02

So if you're good with it, let's do it. Yeah, I'm thinking B as well. You're thinking B? Let's do it.

SPEAKER_05

It's a good thing you thought, because thought's gonna get you a point. Boys, it is. So two fuck. So 276 pounds or 125 kg, a massive male shot in 1975, 1979, sorry, by Doug Schuek. Uh, he still holds the Boone and Crockett record. To put that in perspective, most are about 140 pounds with a large male at 180 pounds, considered very impressive. So that's big. And the fact that he shot it in 1979, old Dougie, and it's the idea where? Uh well, Western series. We're gonna find out. That's gonna be the next question, which you guys will get. So but just to put that in perspective, like I said, anything over 180, I've talked like that's big. That's considered you like you got yourself a trophy, Tom, and 180 pounds, and this one was 276. And the fact that from 1979 and we're in 2026, that still holds the record, the boon and crockett record. So that's impressive. That is impressive. That's a big cat.

SPEAKER_02

Dougie had a good day.

SPEAKER_05

He did. Hold Doug Shuk.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Or Shuck or shit. I don't know. Um, all right, so team Dong, we're already on the board, and uh, you guys can have a chance to get on the board again. Dalton, to answer your question with another question, which I'm hoping you're answering my question with your question with an answer. What state or province was the big feline harvested in? Was it A, Alberta, B, British Columbia, C, Idaho, or D, Montana. These are all known to have you know pretty good sized cats. And these areas are all pr pretty close to each other. Montana touching Alberta, Alberta touching BC, Idaho's kicking around there.

SPEAKER_02

I don't think it's touching them, but I feel like it's one of the two states myself, and I I'm almost leaning towards Idaho.

SPEAKER_00

I was gonna say the same thing. Yeah. And why were you thinking? For whatever reason, I'm thinking Idaho.

SPEAKER_05

You you're just thinking Idaho?

SPEAKER_00

It just feels right.

Auction Wins And Community Momentum

SPEAKER_05

Well, you're going with Idaho? I'd uh think again because that is not the right answer, boys. So we're going back to Team Ding. What state or province was the big feline harvested in? Alberta, British Columbia, or Montana? So these are all touching each other here. Same areas. Abundant game, but what one had this record cat from 1979 that still holds the record?

SPEAKER_01

So do you think it's uh in the States or in Canada? E I'm not really sure on that one. I was kind of leaning towards the US like you guys were.

SPEAKER_05

Is there a school of thought behind that? Uh nope, just well, they beat us in hockey the two hockey games, so you know, women's and men's, why wouldn't they beat us in the heaviest cat?

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, if you're good with that one then. You're still you're thinking Montana on it then.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, Montana. I'm good with it.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, let's go with that.

SPEAKER_05

All right, we're locking it in. Locking it in, and I'm unlocking it, letting it out because it's not the right one. This cat's free to go. Um, British Columbia. Old Dougie got that in British Columbia with a pack of hounds.

SPEAKER_03

So with a pack of hounds.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. Well, that's how you that's it'd be uh not a fluke, but and it's people do get cats without hounds, but it's rare. They you know, I've seen some guys call them in with fox bros, but it's like I guess it's it's hard. It's pretty tough to get it. I think yeah, yeah, it's even tough to get or smaller than that.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, it's huge. That is huge.

SPEAKER_05

It's a cat. And you think these cats are all muscle. Yeah. When you think about it, I've had my hounds take on a freaking feral barn cat at like 15 pounds, and I'll tell you, they won that one, but it did a little damage to them, or even a bobcat. 276 pounds, that's big. Yeah, that's a big cat. Yeah. Alright, so we're going back to Team Dong. Alright, so now we're going to Africa on this one.

SPEAKER_02

No, it's them. You guys have to do that. Because that was our that was their steal from us. Okay.

SPEAKER_05

Yep. This is why you guys are all in the room. This is why there's more than just one of me. Alright, Team Ding, Ryan and Jesse. What animal is Alliance biggest slash slash worst enemy? Is it A? African wild dogs, B, Hippos, C, Hyenas, or D, leopards. What animal is a lion's biggest slash worst enemy? You think like they are the king? How do they have enemies, but they do?

SPEAKER_03

I was gonna go with hyenas.

SPEAKER_01

Hyenas?

Game On: Teams And Rules

SPEAKER_03

I don't know, I just seen videos of them. Yeah, I don't know much about it. I just seen videos of them picking on a lion before is the only thing. But I one of them was leopard too, you said?

SPEAKER_01

I was thinking hippo.

SPEAKER_03

Thinking hippo? Yeah. I wouldn't want to take on hippo. I've seen anything with.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, they're a huge animal. And uh I've seen them take on a lot of like videos of them taking on lots of animals.

SPEAKER_03

So So the question was which what is their big what was the question again?

SPEAKER_05

So this is an animal that they're gonna deal with the most and poses the biggest threat to them in their daily life.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, so probably not hippo, they're probably not dealing with that long times, but so what were you thinking again?

SPEAKER_03

I was thinking hyena at first. Hyena. I know wild dogs are vicious, but they're just a little smaller, even though like they run in big packs, but I'd go with hyena. Yeah, you're good with it? Yep. We'll try it.

SPEAKER_05

You guys are good with that? Yep. Fucking great with it because that's the right answer. Nice. Uh it is hyena.

SPEAKER_02

I didn't know what to say on that one. If we had to steal that, that'd be a crazy.

SPEAKER_05

Well, I get why you guys are thinking, hippo, because like hippo's everyone's enemy.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. But um But if they're not like seeing them all the time. So Right.

Record Cougar Weight And Where It Happened

SPEAKER_05

So hyenas. Hyenas, they are the biggest threat to lions. They engage in many fierce and deadly competition battles over food sources with a bite force of over eleven hundred pounds per square inch. To put that in perspective, lions are about 650. Cool. A hyena's got that much more power in its bite than a lion. Um the lion Scarface that lived 2001 to 2021 was reported to have killed about 400 hyenas. Yeah. Which is crazy. So the yeah, the lion that he was a pretty yeah, 2007 to 2021. He he was actually quite a famous lion in Africa. Obviously, it killed that many hyenas, but I think he killed crocodiles too and everything. So yeah, you know, here's a little side note for you guys, a little fact. So you take buffalo, known as Black Death, all right, and they are known to be they don't spook normally, they just charge. And like they're so mean. So I guess it was quite a few many, many years ago in Africa, there's a section of Africa there where there's a disease going through. I can't remember if it was hoof and mouth or what it was, but there's a disease going through and there's buffaloes dying left, right, and center. So what happens when all these buffaloes are dying? The predator population can go way up because they've got a shitload to eat, and that the disease wasn't affecting the lions, hyenas, leopards, all that, right? So then finally, the the by the buffalo that started living um found a way to beat the dis become immune to the disease. So then So what happens then? So then less buffalo are dying, but the predator population's through the roof, right? So they say that's why the buffalo nowadays are so they call them black deaths, so ferocious and everything, because those are the ones that started coming up when the predator population was high, so they had to be really ferocious to fight off this overabundance of predators. So I guess that's why they are the way they are. And you think about it, I'd be cranky too. So I guess hyenas are known for doing this. The buffalo are out grazing and they've got these big swinging nuts on them, the males, right? And with 1,100 pounds per square inch, apparently the hyena have been known to come up and just grab their nuts and take off.

SPEAKER_03

So like bite them right off?

SPEAKER_05

Bite them right off. 1,100 pounds per square inch, they can do it. So that's why they're a little grumpy too, right? So um, yeah. And then I was listening to this podcast once, and this guy was saying he's a professional hunter, uh, but he used to be a vet for this fireman. He said that one time they were checking these cattle, and then one of the workers comes up to me. He was speaking to him in like Swahili or whatever, and he's like, I don't know, I don't know what the Swahili thing is, but basically the translation was he came back and the guy said he's looking fucked up. Like he was he had blood on him, his shirt was all ripped, and he looked like he'd just seen the devil himself or whatever, right? And then they're like, What happened? He's like, There's a black devil cow out there. He's like, a black devil cow, and he said, looked out, and a Cape Buffalo heifer had gotten in with their cows. He was trying to hurt it, and the thing wasn't gonna be herded. So I fucked him up. He's like, Oh no, that's not a cow, that's a Cape Buffalo heifer. Like, get out of there. He he figured that out, he was done. But but yeah. Um, so that's a little Cape Buffalo fact. All right, Anthony and Dalton, team dong. Texas has the most coyotes with over 850,000, making it the undisputed coyote capital by far. Who has the second most? Is it A, California, B, Arizona, C, Kansas, or D, Wyoming. So Texas has the most by a lot. But who has the second most? California, Arizona, Kansas, Wyoming.

SPEAKER_02

The only thing that comes to mind is I've heard them talk about the coyotes in California.

SPEAKER_05

What have you heard?

SPEAKER_02

That there's too fucking many of them because they're not killing them.

SPEAKER_05

Anthony, care to weigh in?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, I wasn't really sure what to think, but that that makes sense, I guess, that if there weren't as many hunters there, then uh what do you know about California, Anthony? Not a ton. Sunny war warmer than it is here.

SPEAKER_05

Alright, fair enough. I just wonder your knowledge on the state.

SPEAKER_00

I mean, because in Wyoming they would have a lot of wolves as well, I believe, right? So maybe yeah. They'd kind of have some competition there, but the other state was Kansas?

SPEAKER_05

Uh yeah. California, Arizona, Kansas, Wyoming. So you guys are thinking no Wyoming because the wolf population.

Lions’ Toughest Rival: Hyenas

SPEAKER_00

Well, I I was saying more the other way that if they were competing with the wolves, maybe that would mean that the coyote population wouldn't be quite as much. But um yeah, I I don't know if you're fine with California. So if we give it a try.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

You guys good with that? Well, you guys are getting a point for it.

SPEAKER_03

Nice.

SPEAKER_05

So yeah, uh, I didn't want to choose Texas for this, but who had the most because I think everyone kind of think Texas, because you know the predator hunting there's unreal. I mean, I don't think that there's you can hunt the mirror around no limit, like here, but even Bobcat too, I'm pretty sure you can like excellent predator hunting, right?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, well they just they have like coyote competitions and they go kill like freaking 30 coyotes in a nightmare.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, and it won't even seem to hurt the population anymore. Yeah, yeah. So California, California with an estimated population of about 250,000. So they are the second most. Texas has eight hundred and fifty estimated. California has about two hundred and fifty thousand. So Texas is like definitely.

SPEAKER_03

Drops off quick.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. They are currently in the process to ban coyote hunting there unless they pose an immediate threat to livestock. In 2019, uh Gavin Newsom bitch, uh whatever his last name is, banned recreational trapping. So, like you guys are saying, yeah, California's fucked because they've banned well recreational trapping and they're trying to ban the hunting on them and this and that, and it's showing you see the animal human conflicts are going way up there. And instead of having outfitters You would see a lot with pets too, wouldn't you? Oh, yeah. Yeah. And then instead of having outfitters being able to make money off this, and they used to do lion hunting and this and that, and bear, um, they're just they're paying you know, government contractors to go in and do this, and the contractor makes some money, I guess, but the state itself doesn't, it loses it. And California's a great example of what not to do. Right? They are they're a great example for that. So um, yeah, they're trying to ban coyote hunting completely, unless they're getting like right into your barnyard basically, in it running around. So it's crazy. So I like you guys is thinking on that. Okay. Team ding. So it's 2-1, not too bad. What are basically the only two known weaknesses of the coyote? Now, I don't have multiple choice for this one, okay? Uh I'll give you a hint. It's a weakness that helps hunters. So you guys think Jesse, you've got some coyote hunting experience. The only known two weaknesses? Yes, of the coyote. And it's the weaknesses help hunters.

SPEAKER_01

So the seven millimeter does a lot of damage to counterfeites. Yeah, it's not a weapon. Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. Uh is it a gun? Slingshot, that hurts too. Yeah. Two weaknesses. The two weaknesses. It's pretty broad. That is a tough one. So just think you gotta think about the some of the habits if you guys have been. It is a tough one. Um, so you gotta all right, let me think. So it's like their senses, basically. It's a weakness that helps hunters. Um, it could be something that they do, a habit that they do. Think about Jesse, you've shot at some running, missed, this and that.

SPEAKER_03

Just think about some traits about what so it's it could be habit or traits.

SPEAKER_05

I'll give you a point for one. If you guys get one, you guys get one, all that.

SPEAKER_03

I'll give you a What if we get two, we get two points?

SPEAKER_05

Yep.

SPEAKER_03

Oh. So like food sources. I I was wondering like territorial. I'll let you guys work with more hints. Uh like a uh like uh like a competing call. Yeah. We'll call them in. But that's more of a trait than a sense.

SPEAKER_01

Most of the coyotes I've called in have been off of like uh puppin distress. So like that's probably something based off of that.

SPEAKER_03

So like a territorial type thing.

SPEAKER_01

Territorial, yeah.

SPEAKER_05

It's it's stuff it's stuff that a hunter can take advantage of. There's two things that they do. It's two things that they do that a savvy, I wrote savvy, okay? That's a cool word and I don't use it often enough. Uh hunter can take advantage of.

SPEAKER_01

Another thing would be I've shot at quite a few of them and missed. And they don't know where the shots are coming from. So like their sense of sound is not. Hold on, Jesse.

SPEAKER_05

You're this is a tough one, so I'll help you out a little. So you've shot at some and missed.

Coyote Populations: Texas And California

SPEAKER_01

And they don't run any faster, they just keep at the same pace.

SPEAKER_05

They work off this idea a little bit. Work work this a little bit. You're you're getting closer. Dalton, I'll let I'll let you guys chime in if you want.

SPEAKER_02

Well, do we get points? Because I don't want you to get it.

SPEAKER_05

I'll give a point. No, there's two points to be had here.

SPEAKER_02

Okay, so can we have two minutes of your time to get a point?

SPEAKER_05

You guys okay with that?

SPEAKER_02

You guys unless you guys want it, we'll we'll we'll wait. You want it? We're we're on something. We're counting. You guys are on something.

SPEAKER_05

All right, so so alright, I'm gonna let you guys work off this one. So, Jesse, you see you called it in, you shoot at it, and you miss.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Many times.

SPEAKER_05

What? And it takes a it takes a savvy hunter to admit that. I don't know if I use that word correctly. Um you're really liking that word. Yeah. Um so it it it work off of that. What what's trying to try to think of something that the coyotes might do? You missed, then what? It wouldn't be locate sound, would it?

SPEAKER_01

That's all I can think of. Like set the direction of where the sound's coming from.

SPEAKER_03

I don't know. I you guys are really close. We're really close. Yeah. You were you guys going with something with sound too, or were you guys going at a whole different angle?

SPEAKER_05

Anthony's like, I don't know where we're going.

SPEAKER_00

I I just don't want to give up our answers here.

SPEAKER_02

Well, that's kind of where I'm at, yeah. Like, no offense, boys. If you guys have an answer that's different than sound, you can hear, but yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. I we're kind of working on something here. We don't want to work. We're really brainstorming.

SPEAKER_05

You guys we'll brainstorm a little more, then we'll let these guys take a crack at it. There's two points to be had here. All right, so Jesse, I said I'll let you guys are you guys are close. You once you shoot at one, and it they do something that is a weakness that they shouldn't do.

SPEAKER_01

Is it they stop? No, they don't normally stop. Normally they run towards me, though. Like in they don't I don't know. I've had one. It's not that they stop.

SPEAKER_05

I'm gonna say that they don't stop.

SPEAKER_01

And then had a few of them just come right. They only stop if you buy me.

SPEAKER_05

Slow up then.

SPEAKER_01

I don't know.

SPEAKER_05

You guys are really close. Really close. You you're you're really on the right track.

SPEAKER_02

Ken, why don't you just tell them what it is?

SPEAKER_05

Nope. Dalton, do you guys you guys want to try like a game of Marco Polo here?

SPEAKER_02

All right, we're gonna let This is new territory for this for this podcast. It is, yeah. Nobody knows what to do. Yeah, yeah. I'll let you guys take all the time you want.

SPEAKER_03

Okay, dude.

SPEAKER_01

If you have some, just give a shot at it.

SPEAKER_03

So we're at this point. So we're at somewhere where they're so they're they're running, you've shot at a coyote. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Hard warm I miss, and then they run, but they're not like taken off. They're just kind of like trotten. But they don't seem to know where the sound's coming from. Like I don't know how to explain what uh They don't know where the sound's coming from. Right.

SPEAKER_05

Is there anything that they do when they don't know where the sound's coming from?

SPEAKER_01

They look the direction of the sound. Yeah, usually they're looking back and forth, and then you shoot again, you miss again, and then they just keep on like darting back and forth. Just I don't know.

SPEAKER_05

You got you guys kinda What is it? Is it they run towards the sound? No, but you got I'm gonna give it to you. This is a tough one because you guys basically said it, Ryan said it. You guys are so close. So they look back while fleeing. Coyotes are known to do that. If you guys have ever Jesse, you've hunted them and you think about it. If you guys ever watched it on YouTube or a hunting show or whatever, if they shoot and they miss, the coyotes will keep running, but they they tend to look back.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, they're always looking over their shoes.

Two Coyote Weaknesses Revealed

SPEAKER_05

They look back after the shot, and that can be a fatal mistake. They'll look they'll turn and look, you know, and not be going as quick. Like they normally if you're shot at just run. Okay, don't like, oh we're not that good, just run, right? But they like they'll be running, they'll turn and look, and that's when a lot of hunters can cycle another one, nail them.

SPEAKER_01

So do you want to throw a shot at what the second one is?

SPEAKER_05

So that's so I'll give you guys that because you you basically say it. Uh especially if the shot echoes behind them.

SPEAKER_02

If they don't know where it's coming from, they will sometimes stop. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. Dalton, is that what you guys are thinking?

SPEAKER_02

No.

SPEAKER_05

Okay. So there's another I don't know what he's thinking.

SPEAKER_02

I just know what I'm thinking. We haven't talked about it.

SPEAKER_05

There's another trait, so I'm gonna I'm gonna let you guys take this now. So there's another trait about a coyote, um, about it letting its guard down a bit. There's something that they do, so it doesn't have anything to do with when you're shooting at them or anything like that.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, it doesn't.

SPEAKER_05

No. What were you thinking for shooting?

SPEAKER_02

You can say it, but I swear I make myself sound really stupid on a podcast. Well, I was thinking that where they can get them to stop or come back with a with a distress call. Yeah, you're gonna do that. Is what I was gonna say, and I don't know what you how you would word that exactly.

SPEAKER_05

Curiosity killed the cat. Or in this case the cat.

SPEAKER_02

There's another avenue too that I went down when I was thinking about it, where they hunt them with lights, and I've never seen one that really had that good of friggin' eyesight.

SPEAKER_05

And their eyesight's pretty good.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I've seen them do some dumb things.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. Um, but that's that's one big thing is that they look, that's what they say, is they look back while fleeing, which a savvy hunter can't take advantage of.

SPEAKER_03

How will the savvy hunter take advantage of that? It just gives them a chance to shoot again.

SPEAKER_05

Because they should just run, they shouldn't look back. They're looking back like, oh, where's you know, get you nailed, just get out of there. Don't look back, just go. But they don't.

SPEAKER_00

Uh so another thing that I was kind of thinking about, uh, a couple things. I guess one thing would be like a lack of food or like a you know, if you put a bait pile out or something, they're very like routine about it, they'll go there. Like in the winter time, they got deer, they got, you know, hare, whatever, but there's not a ton of food in the in the woods for a predator, I guess. Um another thing I was gonna say is that like if you're trapping a coyote, they say, you know, if you're in the snow, if you make a track with your snowmobile, you can set traps on your on your snowmobile track on the way out, and they'll, you know, take the path of least least resistance, I guess. So they're kind of lazy or or will take advantage of the easier route. So I don't I don't know if it's something to do with that. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

I like it. That's not the right answer, but that's good. Yeah, that's good. Um this doesn't have anything to do with weather or like snow or not. Um, but I do like that. I've heard those things, that's true. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Okay, give us a clue.

SPEAKER_05

All right, so this is something that the coyote does and it lets its guard down because it is not paying as much attention when it is doing or any attention when it's doing this task. Is it mating season? No. Nothing to do with that? No.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, maybe something something to do with like running in packs.

SPEAKER_05

No, it's nothing to do with that. It's something that it's something that everybody kinda does. I'll give you guys really good hints. Because it's a little tough. It's something that everybody does. And alright, how about this? Like, boy, you're uh really sound.

SPEAKER_02

That hint made me more confused.

SPEAKER_03

I'd love to hear the people listening to this podcast going, oh my god, they're dumb. Somebody in the hurry now is yelling for each.

SPEAKER_05

I gave it to you guys, but geez, that guy's a real sound.

SPEAKER_02

You guys get it? Go ahead. We don't need the point because I'd say we've lost it.

SPEAKER_05

Anybody has it.

SPEAKER_02

You guys are tired right now, by the way.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, no, I'm stumped.

SPEAKER_03

I say just cancel that point.

SPEAKER_01

Just tell us to cancel the point.

SPEAKER_05

You never heard, boy, that guy's a real sound sleeper.

SPEAKER_02

No, well, I guess, but not nice context.

SPEAKER_05

Uh so it sleeps heavy. They said that when coyotes sleep, they really sleep, and that you can sneak right up on them. And I was thinking the farm that I used to work at when I was in high school at Waldos, I remember and during the winter time the coyotes would get in the barn and they would be once in a while, they'd be curled up and sleeping in the silage that we put out for the cows in the feed bunk, and like they'd be sound asleep. You could walk right up on them almost.

SPEAKER_03

So for a savvy hunter, you recommend to try to hunt coyotes that are sleeping? You can walk up on them, yeah. I've never I've I don't hear many people shooting them that way, but that's an interesting one. Well, it says so, yeah. So tomorrow's a new day, Ryan. Yeah. I'm gonna scour the woods for a sleeping coyote. So the two note we're gonna be able to get bedding. What's that? You know where the coyotes are bed?

SPEAKER_05

I'm gonna have to look around. I thought that gave away and I was like, some if somebody's a really sound, I'm just like sound sleeper. Well sound impaired.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I didn't know because I literally watched a coyote come out one time and like just groom himself in a field for like 20 minutes, you know?

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, that's the time you don't have a gun. Uh anytime took a lot of restraint.

SPEAKER_02

He was a long ways away. That was probably not happening.

SPEAKER_05

He was like 50 yards. Um yeah, so what are basically the only two known weaknesses of the coyote, and that's what it says. It sleeps heavy and looks back while fleeing, both of which a savvy hunter can take advantage of.

SPEAKER_03

Interesting.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. Um, I'm confused.

SPEAKER_02

I find coyotes like their behavior changes from deer because they're like it's almost like they're going about the their day, and you have to give them a reason to be heads up. Where like a deer, every time they go into a field, they're like, What the fuck's going on here? Right? Yeah. I find like they almost like get blindsided by it because they're not going to be able to do that.

SPEAKER_05

I find coyotes pay attention more so than deer, honestly. Yeah. I mean, sometimes we've all seen them just kind of go trotting out into a field, but when you're hunting them, I don't know, they're they're odd. There's sometimes no rhyme or reason to.

Do Coyotes Mate For Life?

SPEAKER_02

Well, that's because you're trying to interact with them, right? Like you're trying to deter what they're doing. But if they're doing what they're doing by nature, they seem to be like Yeah, if they're hungry, their guards down.

SPEAKER_01

Like they just bolt out into the field.

SPEAKER_05

But you think though, somebody came to me and it's like, I'd like to shoot a deer. I'm like, I can take it, we can shoot a deer for sure. Someone came to me like, I'd like to shoot a coyote, like, uh, we'll see.

SPEAKER_01

It's true. True.

SPEAKER_05

I've you know. Here, anyways, I find much harder. Um, I'm confused. And what who's who are we on right now? Team Dong. Team Dong, Anthony, and Dalton. Hold Tony. Anyone ever call you Tony?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, yes, a lot of people do actually.

SPEAKER_05

Do you do you like it?

SPEAKER_00

I don't really care, to be honest.

SPEAKER_05

Well, on Facebook it's Anthony, so I'm gonna call you Anthony.

SPEAKER_00

That's what my mom likes.

SPEAKER_05

So I'm called Ken, Kenny, or Kenneth, or hey, you. Uh, I'll respond to all of them.

SPEAKER_02

You forgot masturbating myrrh.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, that's my trucker handle. Um, well, it's no longer a kid's show. Uh question. Teen Dong, true or false? Coyotes mate for life. True or false? Coyote's mate for life. Now, if you guys don't get this one, the other team's not getting it because it's true or false.

SPEAKER_03

Oh. I think you should let us have a crack at it.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, that's a tough one. I I don't know. I know there's some animals that do mate for life, but what animals? Uh I I can't think right off the top of my head, but I know there are some. Geese do. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Right, geese do. Yeah. Did you think of that, Tony?

SPEAKER_00

I wasn't thinking geese specifically, no.

SPEAKER_05

What were you thinking?

SPEAKER_00

I was thinking I was trying to figure out what it was. Okay.

SPEAKER_05

That's good. No, that's a good answer. If you point for that now, it's good.

SPEAKER_02

I feel like they don't, but fuck, I don't want to be wrong. Well, you guys are tied up still, so yeah.

SPEAKER_05

I like it.

SPEAKER_02

You could always give us the question.

SPEAKER_05

No, you guys could attract it. It's 50-50. I don't do coyotes make for life, true or false.

SPEAKER_00

Where they kind of have like a hierarchy in the pack.

SPEAKER_05

Do they as much as wolves though?

SPEAKER_00

I guess maybe not, but maybe they do. I'm assuming there maybe there isn't. Maybe I'm just completely wrong, but I thought there was some sort of hierarchy, but you know, you would think that the stronger males would breed with more females, and as they n are no longer the stronger male, they will be kind of taken over and their women will be taken over.

SPEAKER_05

But I don't know exactly. They're they're similar tools, but not entirely but you what do you guys think?

SPEAKER_00

Is that a hint?

SPEAKER_05

No, no, I'm not don't use that as a hint.

SPEAKER_00

I I want to say no, but I I really don't know.

SPEAKER_02

I'm thinking no too. So I think I think if we're both in agreement, we'll go with no.

“Barking Dog”: The Coyote’s Latin Name

SPEAKER_05

Well, sh shit. I think I'm not gonna give anyone a point. Um so true. Yep, true. Really? Studies have shown most all mate for life, and both help with pup rearing. They will find another if one is killed.

SPEAKER_02

So I've So they don't mate for life.

SPEAKER_05

Well, they do unless someone dies. Um interesting fact, only two recorded deaths of coyotes killing people that we know of. I thought I'd tell you guys this. So only two recorded deaths of coyotes killing people that we know of. Kelly Keene, uh, three years old from California, right, in nineteen eighty-one, and Taylor Mitchell, nineteen years old in two thousand and nine from Nova Scotia. So in all of history, nineteen eighty-one and uh two thousand and nine, only two people have ever been recorded being killed by coyotes. The three-year-old I could see, you know, the nineteen-year-old, uh, that's surprising. Yeah. I think she was out hiking on a trail or something. Was she walking like with a dog or something like that? I didn't get out, didn't say. I think she's just I think she was on like a hike remote hiking trail. Yeah, I remember reading about that one. Yeah. Because you hear people like all scared out of the woods.

SPEAKER_03

Go for a hike.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. Stay fat. Um, not gonna nature. No, but you hear people all the time worried about like oh the coyotes attacking and stuff, like in all of hist while they yes, in all of history though, only two recorded deaths ever. But yeah, so coyotes they do mate for life unless one is killed. But I'm still calling that make for life.

SPEAKER_02

Have a point.

SPEAKER_03

They mate for their entire life.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. Here's a question that you probably don't have an answer to. Oh, well, is it the same for like where they say Canada geese mate for life?

SPEAKER_05

Will they just I don't know, but I think they'll find another. Will they just I think they'll find another one.

SPEAKER_02

Go horn around right away.

Most Widespread Predator In History

SPEAKER_05

Well, if they're anything like our white woman. I'm just kidding. Um, I think they will recoup from their loss. Yep. Candy geese. I'm guessing stepdads. Yeah. I'm guessing it's the same as yeah, the coyotes. But yes, the coyotes do. I say they do. Yeah, unless someone dies. So still yes, but yeah, isn't that crazy? Only two recorded deaths ever in history. That's not many at all. More people have died from spider bites. Um team dinks. You guys are still tied up. The scientific name sorry, the scientific name for the coyote, canis lanterns, means what? Oh, it's not as hard as I thought. Is it A barking dog, B, Sly Dog, C, sleek wolf, or D song dog. Now, before you answer, there's four to choose from. Three of them are made up. One of them is true.

SPEAKER_01

Can you repeat the scientific name?

SPEAKER_05

Um The scientific name for Coyote is Canis Lanterns, which means what? Barking dog, sly dog, sleek wolf, or song dog. And three of them were made up by yours truly read out all the things again. Barking dog, sly dog, sleek wolf, or song dog. What does it mean? The Latin name mean.

SPEAKER_03

It's just a stab in the dark. Unless you know it. No.

SPEAKER_05

Uh Jesse, you went to forestry school. They didn't teach you the canis lanterns meanings, Latin word of coyote?

SPEAKER_01

Oh, they might have, but I don't remember.

SPEAKER_05

Too busy talking wood.

SPEAKER_01

Uh what do you think? Singing dog, barrican dog, slidog.

SPEAKER_05

We said three of them were made up. Or uh what was sleek wolf? Uh yeah. You know what? Yeah, are you guys brushed up on your lantern or your lantern on your Latin canis? Lanterns. This has been pretty cool.

SPEAKER_03

Sly dog or sleek wolf.

SPEAKER_05

Song dog.

SPEAKER_03

Or song dog? Uh I'm gonna go between song and shy. I was going to sly dog. Or sly, yeah. That's what I was saying. Shy wasn't a dog. You're thinking of Sly Dog? Yeah. Okay, let's do Sly Dog.

SPEAKER_05

You're a sly dog. That didn't get it right. Uh we're going to team dog. Is it barking dog, sleek wolf, or song dog? And show your work out loud.

SPEAKER_00

Uh I was kind of in between song dog and barking dog, but I don't know what do you think?

SPEAKER_02

I was thinking Sly Dog.

SPEAKER_05

Just sounds cool.

SPEAKER_02

Okay, go through them again. All right.

SPEAKER_05

So we've got you guys.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, sleek wolf, that's the other one.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. Yeah. Barking dog, sleek wolf, or song dog.

SPEAKER_02

I feel like the only two things that I've ever heard that this means nothing, but have been Sly Dog and Sleek Wolf. And I don't know if that was. Why are you looking at me like that?

SPEAKER_05

I'm not. I'm just making faces.

SPEAKER_02

Hmm. I almost think it's sleek wolf, but I don't know.

SPEAKER_05

Do you have what's your reasoning?

SPEAKER_00

The only thing I was thinking it wasn't sleek wolf was because like the canis, you know, like canis is is that dog? Like in Latin.

SPEAKER_05

Are you college educated Anthony?

SPEAKER_00

I am, but not in wolves or in dogs or Iotes or anything, so I don't know. What calls them? I I don't know. Can it like maybe it means wolf, but I know like can't like canine, right? So I guess that family, so it could include wolf or dog, but I I don't know. That's why I was thinking dog. Well, you know a lot more than I do, I'd say.

SPEAKER_02

Ah, okay, so we're between the two dogs then. Let's do that.

SPEAKER_05

Barking dog and song dog. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Did they have the word song in those times? I don't know.

SPEAKER_00

Would they have barking? I I don't know. Whoa, you did go to college.

SPEAKER_05

Case in point.

SPEAKER_00

Hmm.

SPEAKER_05

I like your thinking. If it was named like Anthony talking to the mic.

SPEAKER_00

Sorry, yeah. Like, I don't know, in indigenous culture or like, you know, Native American or whatever, like they're very like artsy, that type of thing. So song, I d I don't know. It's a complete stab in the dark, and I'm just kind of making stuff up.

unknown

No.

Wolves Of The Himalayas

SPEAKER_05

No, they were into songs. You didn't make that up.

SPEAKER_00

But I don't know who named it. I'm sure they had their I'm sure they had their own name for it.

SPEAKER_05

They weren't using Latin names, so I'll tell you who named it when you get when you guess.

SPEAKER_02

Alright, here's what we're gonna do. Who's got a coin?

SPEAKER_05

Nope, just do rock, paper, scissors. No one carries change on them anymore.

SPEAKER_02

You got change, Ryan? Nope, I don't get my wallet.

unknown

No.

SPEAKER_02

Damn rock, paper, scissors for it. Probably got something here.

SPEAKER_05

Whoa, you got more than something in there. Nice. Alright, here's what we're gonna do. Barking dog and song dog.

SPEAKER_02

What do you want barking dog to be? Because I have no idea let's flip a coin.

SPEAKER_00

We'll do a loon for uh song.

SPEAKER_02

Loon for song, and that's up.

SPEAKER_05

So we've got a loony here.

SPEAKER_02

Okay, so it's gonna be barking dog.

SPEAKER_05

That's crazy that you guys flipped a coin just to get the wrong answer. I'm screwing with you again because we got the right one. Oh, nice. That's what we should have done. It is uh thanks for providing the loony, Jesse. Yes, thank you.

SPEAKER_03

Um that was an answer. I didn't know what else to do.

SPEAKER_05

No, uh, it worked so uh barking dog, barking dog. The term was coined by naturalist Thomas Say in 1823. Um so slide dog, sleek wolf, and song dog I made up. But you worked good enough for you guys.

SPEAKER_03

We fell for it. Um well when you you know zero of it, it's just a guess. Yeah, pretty much.

SPEAKER_05

I know. So I was I was like thinking that because yeah, he said that barking songs. Like when I was making these questions, I was like, what else could I use? Like, I don't know, slide dog. Uh they're not a wolf, but they're smaller, sleek wolf. And I was like, song dog, sounds like barking dog.

SPEAKER_02

Well, if you if Anthony hadn't said the the canine thing, coin toss worked. I would have been wrong right off the hob.

SPEAKER_05

So good job. Good work. Um, I think we're on you guys.

SPEAKER_03

Yep, team dong.

The World’s Most Successful Predator

SPEAKER_05

Yep, team dong. All right. What predator is thought to have the most widespread historic range of any living wild land mammal? And this is not in multiple choice. This is give me your answer. So what predator is thought to have the most widespread historic range of any living wild land mammal, meaning not water.

SPEAKER_02

North America?

SPEAKER_05

Uh, anyways, the world.

unknown

Fuck.

SPEAKER_05

And it's it's not okay. I'll give you some hints. It's not a reptile, it's not an insect, and it's nothing in water.

SPEAKER_02

It's a mammal. So it's a mammal. Yeah. So it's thank you for the hint, but you did say mammal.

SPEAKER_05

Okay, well, only one of you guys on that team went to college, so I didn't know Dalton tried to be polite. I thought you were dumb and I didn't want to point it out.

unknown

No.

SPEAKER_05

Um Okay. So a mammal.

SPEAKER_02

Alright. Can we eliminate can we eliminate like say Asia?

SPEAKER_05

No.

SPEAKER_02

Fuck.

SPEAKER_05

No, you can't.

SPEAKER_02

Africa?

SPEAKER_05

No, believe it or not.

SPEAKER_02

South America?

unknown

No.

SPEAKER_02

Okay, it can't be all of them.

SPEAKER_00

It's a wide range. So, like, do they have I think they have coyotes in South America. I don't know if they have them in Asia. Um, I feel like it's not coyote, but I don't know.

SPEAKER_05

It's a mammal. What well, okay, here, how about this? What animals are you thinking? Are you looking in the dog family? Are you looking in the cat family? Like, where where are we going with this?

SPEAKER_00

I was thinking neither dog or cat family, but I don't know.

SPEAKER_05

Neither?

SPEAKER_00

What do you think? No, I was thinking either. Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_05

Dog or cat family, but it's it's a predator.

SPEAKER_02

Okay, ask me the question again.

SPEAKER_05

What predator is Oh shit. Ryan's just playing with his thumbs. I thought you were on your phone.

SPEAKER_03

Oh no. I was gonna get my taser out. I was just going through animals in my head.

SPEAKER_05

Um, so what predator is thought to have the most widespread historic range of any living wildland mammal?

SPEAKER_02

Historic range, meaning it's lived in the most places. If I get that right, college tell them.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, yeah, you're educated. I was gonna say, like, if you think about the like cougar or mountain lion, that type of thing. I know they have them like South America. Um, I don't know if they have them in Asia, they're all over North America.

SPEAKER_05

I think they have them over like I've got something to add to that after you guys guess, but Okay.

SPEAKER_00

But I mean we're we're not going by population. We're going strictly by the No, we're not going by population. Yeah. Widespread. We're not going by population. A ton of different types of like I guess cougar, right? Depending on where you are. Well, like you get like the Black Panther or whatever. Is that from Asia?

Deadliest Single Animal In History

SPEAKER_05

Well, a panther's not a cougar. It's a separate species. Is it? It's in the calf family. It's in yeah. It's in the feline family, but it's a different species. So it is different now. Yes. Mm-hmm.

unknown

All right.

SPEAKER_05

The wide widespread historic range. So all right now, history, it's it's been spread throughout so many places. You guys, team ding, you guys thinking in case?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, like I'm thinking cat or dog, but I don't know what well what do you have it narrowed down to for dogs?

SPEAKER_05

Say, or cats.

SPEAKER_02

Well, I I think the wolf is probably a fairly high probability. I think the coyote's a fairly high probability. But as far as anything else, like I don't know.

SPEAKER_05

But if you had to pick one, would you do?

unknown

There's also like the leopard.

SPEAKER_00

I don't know, but again, is that are the leopards in Asia different than the ones in Africa? I don't know. Maybe um I don't know what I mean. Because they have like, you know, like the snow leopards.

SPEAKER_05

In Asia, they have tigers more than leopards, I think. I'm not saying they don't have any, because I'm not sure.

SPEAKER_00

I feel like like, you know, like Russia, that part of like Asia over there, I th I I'm pretty sure they do, but the way that you said that makes me think that maybe it's not a leopard, so we'll move on.

SPEAKER_05

I know they have tigers in those places for sure. Maybe it is a tiger though.

SPEAKER_02

He wouldn't be giving it to us. No.

SPEAKER_05

He's right. I wouldn't see him. What predators thought to have the most widespread historic range of any living wild land mammal? I'm talking widespread.

SPEAKER_03

Hopefully you have this when it gets to us, Jesse, because I have no clue. It's looking like it might, boys.

SPEAKER_01

Got a couple options.

SPEAKER_02

What about like what about like a Siberian tiger or something?

SPEAKER_05

You think that's widespread? Sounds like it's kind of native to Siberia.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, I gave you a meat and don't get me again. No. I want to get this wrong too.

SPEAKER_05

You guys are gonna have to pick one, unfortunately, uh soon. Because the allotted time in my head's taken down.

SPEAKER_00

So he gave us tiger, so it's probably not a tiger we're thinking.

SPEAKER_05

But I'm not saying it's not a cat. I will say it's not a tiger.

SPEAKER_02

Alright, cat or dog, let's pick one of those two. We go from there. What do you think? Let's go cat.

SPEAKER_05

Ooh. You're picking a cat? You have to pick a species of cat.

SPEAKER_00

What's your pick for the cat?

SPEAKER_05

Lean in a little bit.

SPEAKER_00

I'm leaning back towards leopard, but we'll lean into Mike a little. The way that you the way that you said that didn't make me very confident, so I don't know. What do you think? I'm thinking cougar. Yeah, let's do it.

SPEAKER_05

Going with cougar?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Right on, boys. You're going with the wrong one. But I like your thinking because, all right, so I'm not I can't say this for sure, but I'm pretty sure Russia and Asia and stuff, I think it's just Tiger. I don't think they have Cougar. Now, like say in Florida, they have the Panther. The butt they actually have like a black panther. Yeah. So that's different. It's not a cougar and stuff, right? Cougar's. Um you want to let them answer? Cougar. Yeah, I'm gonna let them answer. Um Cougar's a cougar. Keep going and give away a bunch of stuff. I wasn't gonna say nothing. So team Ding, uh Ryan and Jesse, you guys have a chance to tie it up right now. This has been good. It's nice and close. So do you want me to read it again? You guys kinda Yeah, read it again. What predator is thought to have the most widespread historic range of any living wild land mammal?

SPEAKER_03

My one question on this are you talking range as square miles or range as amount of countries?

SPEAKER_05

Amount of countries, the world, continents, all that.

Strongest Cat Bite And Winner Announced

SPEAKER_03

So like size of area that it encompasses, not amount of countries it's in.

SPEAKER_05

Well, uh amount of amount of countries and all that. I'm not I'm not talking like they live, you know, 30 square miles or whatever.

SPEAKER_03

No, but like the amount of area that the their population covers or amount of countries the population covers.

SPEAKER_05

Amount of countries.

SPEAKER_03

Okay. So Russia would be one country, but not considered like a big area.

SPEAKER_05

Well I don't think it matters, but the most historic. I'm not talking about well, like I said, we're not talking about square miles or anything like that, like how much area they cover in a day or anything, or like what their home range is. Um like I said, yeah, I'm talking about the area that the species covers. Yes. In in like in the world, in the grand scheme of the world. Okay. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

So what's your thought?

SPEAKER_05

You complicated it over like that's not I did that just to bug Ken.

SPEAKER_03

I like it. But the my reasoning was is because a small country like Costa Rica or a big country like Russia.

SPEAKER_05

No, don't think of it like that.

SPEAKER_03

Uh I got one thing that I was interested with when Ken said you picked the wrong one when they were between leopard and whatever the wrong.

SPEAKER_05

Kind of leopard, yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_02

I swim with cougary.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. You guys go in with a cat? It's obviously a cat or dog.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

I mean, for I guess for dogs there's there's only two options. Well, you got like wild dogs in Africa, but that's not gonna cover a big area.

SPEAKER_05

Sounds like it just covers Africa.

SPEAKER_01

So what's the cat you're thinking about?

SPEAKER_03

I I I thought their cougar was was good.

SPEAKER_01

Uh what about like a bobcat? There's multiple species of bobcats, aren't there, in other places?

SPEAKER_03

Well, you get bobcat, then you get links, which is just like them. Do they cover many like areas south of the equator? I have no idea. I think they're yeah, I believe so. Because in like Panther, you can get a lot, but you don't get I don't know how I high up that goes. Yeah, I'm not sure.

SPEAKER_05

Side note, I'm loving we've done, I think this is the seventh tri seventh or eighth trivia. I'm loving the discussion on both sides, boys. You guys are showing your work out loud, which I want to hear. Love you guys doing really good at that. I always ask for that. You guys are doing great at it.

SPEAKER_02

Could be the dumbest group you've had, dude.

SPEAKER_05

Uh we're let the listeners decide. There's literally thousands of people that are gonna be listening to this, but I do love you guys showing your work. It's really good. Really good.

SPEAKER_03

Is it what is an option if it's not a cat or dog family?

SPEAKER_05

Originally, I thought it was. Okay, I'll give you a hint. It's cat, it's cat or dog. Okay.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. You thought coyote originally. Yeah, they even made the PEI, so. That's true, they could cross ice.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

But this is horse historically. Because like we didn't always have coyotes here, did we? I didn't think so. Like coyotes are a relatively new thing in the house. Hundred years kind of thing. Way less. Way less, way less, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Kind of thinking like that bobcat family.

SPEAKER_05

So you're thinking like bobcat. No, again, don't just think Canada or the US. Um like look on a a globe which we don't have in here, but think the grand scheme of things. Big big picture.

SPEAKER_03

What are there for cats in in like Africa, that area? What are the cat families you have there? Other than lion, tiger, leopard. Is there panthers there? I honestly don't know.

SPEAKER_05

I don't think there's tigers in Africa. I'm not gonna say for sure, but I'm pretty sure there isn't.

SPEAKER_01

This is a tricky one.

SPEAKER_05

Well, actually, I thought you guys would get this kind of quick. I'm not calling you dumb, but I'm between uh leopard or panther. But that could be both again, like sit I'm not saying yes, not saying no, just grand scheme of things. The world, the world, think of the world stage. Some dude is beating his truck or you're gonna listen to this. Uh if he's listening, if he's listening to it, could be lying. I'm gonna guess the dude, it's probably Dave McKillop.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, Dave. Should it Dave?

SPEAKER_01

It could be lying, because like no, when you s when I say like No, earlier they said lying and then Ken said it. It's not lying, it's not.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I was gonna say you already said he did say tiger, and I confirmed it. It's not lying.

SPEAKER_05

It's not tiger. You guys guess what? What about that was right. It's not lying, it's not tiger.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, I just don't know if they're like I know South America has them, but I don't know if they're if they're widespread or not? Yeah. I have no idea either. So that would mean I don't know. We could go back to Leopard.

SPEAKER_01

Wanna lock it in?

SPEAKER_03

Sure.

SPEAKER_05

Leopard? Yeah, you locked in. The right answer, uh, which is not this. No, not that. Guys, I'm surprised. I really thought that you guys would get this quick. I'm not calling anybody in here dumb.

SPEAKER_02

But there's been a lot of discussion. Yeah, um, we're right confused right now.

SPEAKER_05

Um, you guys are confusing me. It's a good thing I have it written down. Oh no, it didn't. No, it did. Um, all right, guys. I'm gonna give you we're back to team Dong. What are you guys thinking?

SPEAKER_02

I'd I think we should just say coyote and be done with it.

SPEAKER_00

That's what I think. I thought, yeah, I've the only reason I was just thinking it'd be too obvious, but let's just go with the obvious answer.

SPEAKER_05

Going with the obvious one? Yeah, it's not the obvious one because it's Wrong one. I'm not giving this point to anybody now. I I thought you guys get this a little quicker. So do they get another guess? No, they don't. No. They don't get another guess.

SPEAKER_01

Just say something. Okay.

SPEAKER_05

What? Yeah, it's wolf. I'm not giving you guys that the point, but it it is wolf. No, because we went back. I wasn't gonna go back and forth one more time because you guys said coyote. You thought that's the obvious going cat.

SPEAKER_03

So what that was only our second guess, though. He is right.

SPEAKER_05

I'm gonna give it to you guys actually to tie it up, but I thought it was too obvious when you guys said the obvious coyote.

SPEAKER_03

We got real hung up on cats.

SPEAKER_05

I know you guys did. So I was surprised you guys were so hung up on cats because you think about the grand scheme of things. Sure, most places have, you know, you got your bobcat, your lynx, your koogan, all that, but one species, right? So that doesn't include all the cats and stuff. So the answer is wolf. They are found in the US, Canada, Mexico, Greenland, North Africa, and all across Europe into northern Asia. Uh wolves often travel about 50 kilometers or 30 miles per day. But yeah, so they're found in US, Canada, Mexico, Greenland, North Africa, and I think everywhere in Europe. Wolves. Yeah, I thought I thought you guys would guess that one a little quicker. I'm not gonna lie. I'm surprised. Um I'll give it I'll give you guys that one. Yeah, because yeah, I know you guys are really hung up on the cat, but that's what I was trying to a grand scheme of things. Grand scheme. So yeah, we've got cats here and stuff, but um not the same species. I mean, they're spread out.

SPEAKER_03

I just had never heard of much for wolves in Europe. I guess all things are.

SPEAKER_05

Like a lot, there's a lot of um tales and things and like like that that come from there. Like uh not horror stories, but I don't know, something like that. Make kids go to bed, like go to bed, or the wolf's gonna kill you, or whatever they say there. But Europe oh yeah, Europe's got I think every place in Europe has a wolf there. Not for sure, but most of them. Yeah, Europe's got a lot of wolves. A lot of wolves. Yeah. Uh what group are you on?

SPEAKER_03

Are we on team uh this goes back to one, two, one, two us?

SPEAKER_05

Team, all right, team ding. That's why you guys are paying attention. Team Ding. So we're staying on the wolves. What wolf species thrives in the world's tallest mountain range? I've got them. Is it A? You guys are like looking out.

SPEAKER_03

I was just I was just gonna say, I was just gonna name a color. Yeah.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

What wolf species thrives in the world's tallest mountain range? And I'm like, look, you guys, you guys are like looking at me like a deer in headlights. A the Himalayan wolf, B, the Iberian wolf, C, the mountain wolf, or D, the Elps wolf. And I wrote here, note, two of these are made up. So we've got the Himalayan wolf, the Iberian wolf, the mountain wolf, or the Elps wolf. Two of these are made up.

SPEAKER_03

Himalayan, mountain, elps, and what was the other? Iberian. Iberian. Nice gesture. Which is the one I'm leaning on. That's the one you're leaning on? Yeah. Hey, you said that confidently, we'll go with it. No guessing.

SPEAKER_05

You guys are going with out a point on the board. It is not the Iberian wolf. I'm trying to think of what ones I made up.

SPEAKER_02

You're grabbing your marker every time just to mess with it.

SPEAKER_05

I know because Royan used to that Ryan's like, I know when it's the right one because you grabbed the marker, so now I never said that, did I? You did. You said it before. You're like, I can tell when it's the right one because you grabbed the marker, so now I fiddle with it because you said that. Um So what wolf species thrives in the world's tallest mountain range? So you've got the Himalayan, the Iberian, the Mountain Wolf, and the Elps wolf.

SPEAKER_02

So What's the fourth one?

SPEAKER_05

The Elps wolf.

SPEAKER_02

A-L-P-S. Yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_05

But you so I'm I'm the answer maybe is in the question. Yeah, but the world's tallest mountain range. Again, somebody somebody's driving right now, beating their head against the door. Not because they know the answer, because they're probably just having a bad day.

SPEAKER_00

Like, are the the Himalayas the tallest mountain range?

SPEAKER_05

You went to college.

unknown

I don't know.

SPEAKER_00

Tony. Where's like uh you know Mount Everest and all that? Are those Himalayans?

SPEAKER_05

Um If you say they are, I'll believe you. I'm not sure. What truck driver?

SPEAKER_00

I guess they're not the tallest mountains anyways, I don't think so.

SPEAKER_03

They're the tallest above sea level.

SPEAKER_05

Nice. Maybe, I don't know.

SPEAKER_02

This is a complete crapshoot. Give me the names again.

SPEAKER_05

Himalayan, Iberian, mountain, elts.

SPEAKER_02

I'll give you a hint. I feel like Iberian. Yeah. I honestly thought it was made up.

SPEAKER_05

So two of these are made up.

SPEAKER_00

Like the Alps wolf. Like, I feel like it wouldn't be the Alps wolf. I feel like that one's made up.

SPEAKER_05

I can't remember what I've got.

SPEAKER_02

I was actually having the exact same thought. Whether it's right or not, I don't know, but let's eliminate it if we both think that. Okay, what are we down to? What are we down to?

SPEAKER_05

You guys are eliminating the Alps. Alright, so you guys are down to the mountain wolf and the Himalayan wolf. Do you guys want a coin?

unknown

Fuck.

SPEAKER_02

Hey, you want a coin or you want to pick one?

SPEAKER_00

The Himalayan wolf?

SPEAKER_05

You guys going with that one? Yeah, let's try it. Well, son of a bitch, you guys are uh gonna put a mark on the board and you were one ahead. This has been pretty close because a lot of the actually the past three haven't been, but the first three uh trivia have been like a landslide, but this one's close. You guys have been tied up most of this, you guys are one ahead. So, what wolf species thrives in the world's tallest mountain range? Himalayan wolf. I don't know which ones I made up. Um, but anyways, so the Himalayan wolf living in an average elevations of about 8,000 to 14,000 feet above sea level. Their blood better captures and releases oxygen uh found in the regions of Nepal and India. So it's neat. So yeah, so their blood is different and all that. So it's kind of cool. Yeah. Alright. I think we're on you guys again. Yeah. Teen Dong. So this one is uh not an A, B, C, or D. What animal is the greatest predator? And I'll give you guys a hint that this can include reptiles, amphibians, fish, mammals, insects. Don't roll your eyes at me, Dalton. What animal is the greatest predator?

SPEAKER_00

I don't know if they're the greatest predator, but I know they say like mountain lions are really good at stalking their prey, and they're very solid.

SPEAKER_05

Okay, I'm gonna give you guys Okay.

SPEAKER_02

Is this by like what what's the do you have a definition or a hint or uh can we go back and forth on this one a couple times at least when we get a bunch of long answers like that?

SPEAKER_03

All right, yeah, we can't.

SPEAKER_02

We have six hours of guessing. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

I'll stay tuned.

SPEAKER_03

Um I have an interesting guess on this one. I think I have a good one. So this all right. Yeah, so I'm hoping to get it.

SPEAKER_05

Okay, so this animal has a 95% success rate.

SPEAKER_03

I don't think mine's right anymore. I betcha, okay. I get a I got a bunch of guesses that I don't want to.

SPEAKER_05

All right, here, how how about this? I'll let you guys think of four. And we'll go. You want one? I'll let you guys Dalton has a bunch. I'll let you guys rattle off four. That's how freaking fair I am.

SPEAKER_02

I'm still disgusting, I'm not rattling off.

SPEAKER_05

Alright, I'll let you guys go four.

SPEAKER_02

A bald-headed eagle is vicious, like those fuckers kill, right? A crocodile.

SPEAKER_05

Anthony talking to the mic. I'm not gonna ask you again.

SPEAKER_00

I will ask you again, actually. I was thinking maybe something weird, like a tree frog or something like that. I don't know.

SPEAKER_05

That is fucking weird, but that's cool. I don't know if they're gonna be.

SPEAKER_00

I don't know if they're predators, like you know, like they eat insects and stuff, but let's near Door the Explorer. There's some kind of like amphibian or reptile that's dominoes.

SPEAKER_02

The tree flock.

SPEAKER_05

Alright, I'll give you the hit. But it is three, don't hate it because it this is a unique it's unique.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, the like I said, the other basically. I don't even know.

SPEAKER_05

I I'm not gonna count tree flocks predators. Maybe they are, but it's not that, but it's unique.

SPEAKER_00

I like I was thinking something like you know an amphibian or a reptile that that has really good camouflage and it's quick. And yeah, that's yeah.

SPEAKER_05

So this animal has 95% success rate. It can be an insect, a mammal, uh reptile, amphibian, or fish aquatics. What the fuck's that category called? Marine. Marine? I don't know.

SPEAKER_00

So then you get like the orca as well.

SPEAKER_05

I know they're supposed to be 95% success rate.

SPEAKER_02

There's there's like fucking sharks.

SPEAKER_05

There's I'm gonna narrow it down. Can we get both? I will narrow it down.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, I was gonna say, oh, can we just eliminate one of those categories you just said?

SPEAKER_05

Okay, this will be a helpful one. It's not a reptile. It's not a reptile.

SPEAKER_02

Okay. Alright, fair enough. So it's not like a snake. That was a good elimination. Not a crocodile.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, that was a good elimination, I think. That was a big help. I like you nodding your head, Jesse. You agreed with me. That was a good that was a good help.

SPEAKER_03

I'm not looking up an answer. I'm just gonna type Ryan, what are you doing? I'm not looking up an answer, I'm just gonna type what I'm thinking of Jesse without saying it.

SPEAKER_05

Man, you better not be looking up an answer.

SPEAKER_00

We we haven't talked about anything in the water yet, so I was kind of thinking maybe.

SPEAKER_05

Alright, Ryan didn't he didn't look it up, he did type it. You guys guess one. You just guess one.

SPEAKER_02

We're guessing four.

SPEAKER_05

Alright, yeah, you guessed four.

SPEAKER_00

Alright, you guess, I'll guess.

SPEAKER_03

Okay. So you're just gonna one in one bounce it off nice.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, the eagle. Orca.

SPEAKER_05

That's a two. I'll give another hint.

SPEAKER_02

Okay.

SPEAKER_05

It is not a bird.

SPEAKER_02

Okay, so that one's fucked.

SPEAKER_05

There goes the next two. It's not a reptile, it's not a bird. This animal has a 95% success rate. Oh, no, I read that wrong. It's a 59% success rate.

SPEAKER_02

Mountain line.

SPEAKER_05

No. I don't think their success rate is actually quite low, I'm pretty sure. That's a good guess. I know it's a guess. It's a guess. Yeah, it's right. Come on, call it.

SPEAKER_03

Great white shark.

SPEAKER_05

No. Theirs is probably pretty good.

SPEAKER_03

So we get four now, do we?

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, you guys get four. Rattle them off.

SPEAKER_03

Shall we go with that? The one I said to you go with it. Killer whale?

SPEAKER_05

Nope.

SPEAKER_03

Nope. If you have anything else, go with it. Uh what about like wild dogs or something like that? Wild dog.

SPEAKER_05

You guys said wild dogs.

SPEAKER_03

I feel like you guys that's what you call those packs, like the packs like the dogs in in Africa, isn't it? They're spotted. Yeah, I thought they just wear their prey out till the point of exhaustion and then. Sure. Wild dogs?

SPEAKER_05

No, they are very high. Wild dogs have a very high success rate. Not 95%, but they are one of the highest.

SPEAKER_03

Probably 59.

SPEAKER_05

They're much higher than that. More like 60.

SPEAKER_01

So you're pretty close with that one.

SPEAKER_05

No, don't think of this this species like that. But the one.

SPEAKER_03

You eliminated uh avian and reptile.

SPEAKER_05

I'm gonna eliminate um fish. Any fish thing. So it's just a regular old. Alright, how I'm gonna give you this. It's between mammals and insects.

SPEAKER_01

I read something before the mosquito is the deadliest. No, okay. So it's not, I'll say that.

SPEAKER_05

So the mosquito is actually one of the deadliest predators, I guess you could say. Um yeah, the mosquito is known to kill more people than any other animal in the world.

SPEAKER_03

It can't be 95% because like everyone here's been stung by mosquito and lived. But it is that's what I read too. It's the deadliest.

SPEAKER_05

It is the deadliest animal, I guess. Yeah. It's not the mosquito. So it's not the mosquito. It's an insect or a mammal.

SPEAKER_03

Insect or a mammal.

SPEAKER_01

Some sort of spider.

SPEAKER_05

It is not a spider. You guys get one more guess?

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, I think we get two more because I what do we see? We said killer, we said wild dogs and killer whale.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, I know I already guessed killer whale, so I don't know if that's a counter or not. Like orca is I think that's killer whale, isn't it? It is. Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_05

You didn't know that Ron? Believe it or not, I'm not up to my. What did they teach you at the dairy farm? Jeez, you know that orcas and killer whales are the same thing?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Alright, if I burn another one up here. Burn one. A snake.

SPEAKER_05

No, it's not a reptile. It's an insect of mammal. Hyena. No.

unknown

Fuck.

SPEAKER_05

Uh okay, I'll give you this then. Either team can say it. It is an insect. Black widow. No.

SPEAKER_03

Scorpion.

SPEAKER_05

No. It's an insect.

SPEAKER_03

We're all just gonna name all the insects because we're gonna be around. I don't know very many insects. A house fly. It's not a house fly. It's an insect.

SPEAKER_05

It's an insect. It flies. I think most insects do, but not all of them.

SPEAKER_00

What about like a preying mantis?

SPEAKER_05

No, but you're getting a little closer. Um a wasp? No. A bee? A hornet? No. Bigger.

unknown

Bigger.

SPEAKER_05

Think water. Think water. An insect that likes water. This is where people are really yelling on their phones. Um flies don't like them. They're a great deterrent. Dragonfly? Dragonfly. Nice. Yep.

SPEAKER_04

Hey.

SPEAKER_05

Nice toning. Um, yep, so a dragonfly. A dragonfly has over a 95% success rate. What made you think of that? The water?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, just thinking about swimming and seeing them all the time on the water eating. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Turns out if they go after you, there's a good chance they're gonna kill you.

SPEAKER_05

So I I use I got some from the Dollar Store fake ones and I put them at the water tubs where my cows are. And uh, anyways, I don't know, seems to deter them. Fake dragonflies. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Fucking deterred me. I almost didn't fill up the water one day. I was freaked out. No. Uh I'm gonna I don't know who we're on, but I'm gonna you guys think winning by two. I think it's us. Yeah, I'm gonna give it even if it's not, I'm gonna give team ding. Um, what animal? This is interesting. What animal from 1900 to 1907 was responsible for more deaths to humans than any other single animal. The deadliest single animal in history was it A, the grizzly bear, B, Lion, C, Tiger, or D. Crocodile. This animal was responsible. The deadliest single animal in history. Grizzly bear, lion, tiger, crocodile.

SPEAKER_03

It's one animal that did all this, or like one species?

SPEAKER_05

No, one animal.

SPEAKER_03

One animal.

SPEAKER_05

One specific animal. Yeah. Crazy.

SPEAKER_01

So the salt water crocodile in like Australia. I know it was like a a killer there.

SPEAKER_03

I was kind of thinking on that one too, but I mean, yeah, I mean, it makes enough sense. It's between that or lion for me, is what it was, but I'm gonna pause because I'm gonna wet my pants.

SPEAKER_05

Alright, and we're back. I've uh dewatered. So, no, they haven't given me an answer yet. So, what animal from 1900 to 1907 was responsible for more deaths to humans than any other single animal, the deadliest single animal in history. A grizzly bear, B, lion, C, tiger, D, crocodile. And this is one animal. This isn't a species, this is one animal.

SPEAKER_01

So I said crocodile. That's what you were thinking, yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Why were you thinking that, Jesse?

SPEAKER_01

Well, just because I know, like, in Australia, the crocodile is like one of the deadliest things there. Like the saltwater crocodile. Crocki.

SPEAKER_03

But that it's it's this one animal killed the most amount of people.

SPEAKER_01

Right. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

This one animal. Not a species, this one animal.

SPEAKER_01

I know like they're scared to go, like they say not to go swimming in Australia. This I wouldn't either if I seen a crocodile. Because they're like they're super deadly there, but that's all I know. If you're you seem really confident, I say we go with it. Um on that one or grizzly bear? That or grizzly bear. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Well, if you had to pick one, because you do. Grizzly, lion, tiger, crocodile. I like your I like your thinking behind all of it.

SPEAKER_03

I'm gonna let you decide. You were really confident, like the first thing that came to your mind was the crocodile. Yeah. So I say we go with that then.

SPEAKER_05

Going with crocodile? Sure. Friggin' rates. Just kidding. Wrong. It is not the crocodile. So we're going to team Dong, Anthony and Dalton, grizzly bear, lion, tiger. Sorry, guys. I was like a little quick to judge you on that one. But crocodile's an excellent guest. I'll give you a little thing, you guys think it over a little. In Africa, there's a killer crocodile named Gustavo. I think it's Gustavo or Gustavo. And it he killed over 300 people, and they named him that over one of the Civil War leaders, warlords in Africa, because what he would do is he'd kill people and and he'd put the bodies in the river. So the crocodile learned that people were food. And to find when there's people, there's food. Right? So they basically taught him that. So then, yeah, they'd uh counted for over 300 deaths with that one crocodile. That's live people. Jeez. Yeah. Um time frame. Team Dong.

SPEAKER_00

Sorry, you're saying there's one crocodile that killed 300 people, and that's not the most?

SPEAKER_05

That's not the most. Monsters do exist. Grizzly, bear, lion, tiger. I know that's crazy. I know Anthony over here is like, it's killed 300 people, and that one single animal hasn't killed the most of all. And no.

SPEAKER_00

Well, we were kind of thinking over here that maybe it's a big thing. That it was maybe grizzly, but I don't know.

SPEAKER_05

I know that little side note kind of got you guys thinking.

SPEAKER_00

Did did you give a date for it? You say it was early 1900s? 1907.

SPEAKER_05

Nice, Ryan.

SPEAKER_00

I mean, would a grizzly bear have killed? Probably in North America. It would be in North America, right?

SPEAKER_05

So like remember, this is one animal, not species. This is one animal.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Grizzly, lion, tiger.

SPEAKER_02

I have no idea. You pick whatever you want. I'm fine with it.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, again, I I was gonna say grizzly, but I feel like if there was grizzly bear that killed over 300 people in North America, that was kind of funny, Anthony's like, you're telling me that crocodiles killed over 300 people, and that's not it's like, yeah, that's what I'm saying. So there's lion, tiger, and grizzly.

SPEAKER_05

Yep.

SPEAKER_00

I want to go with lion or tiger? Let's do lion.

SPEAKER_05

Let's do the wrong answer. It's basically what you said to Dalton. Um, it's not lion. It's tiger.

SPEAKER_00

It's not grizzly. Okay, good. As long as it's not grizzly.

SPEAKER_03

No, just the sidebar kind of gave away that it wasn't grizzly.

SPEAKER_05

So can you give it so uh it is the tiger? So what animal from 1900 to 1907 was responsible for more deaths to humans than any other single animal, the deadliest single animal in history?

SPEAKER_02

Tony the tiger.

SPEAKER_05

Oh yeah. Oh no, is what you're gonna say when Tony's coming. So the tiger, so get this. The tiger, American sniper, meets Jaws. The Chompawant tiger, the deadliest animal killer of all time, recorded to have killed an astonishing 436 humans until being stopped by hunter Ken Kick Asmire. He was my grandfather now. Uh recorded to being stopped by Hunter uh Jim Corbett. I guess it wasn't Ken Kickasmire. Um Jim Jim Corbett, a true legend himself, obviously. Uh this bangled tigress, so it was a female tiger, terrorized the villages of northern India and Nepal that would capture the attention of the world. She has even been recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records. Plat? Yeah, okay. Um she's been recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records after she was killed by the after she was killed, they believed her to be about ten to twelve years old. They found an old gunshot wound in her mouth, which likely got her to start killing humans an easier prey than a tiger's usual prey. So she was shot uh in the mouth. They found an old wound in her mouth, and they figured she she couldn't take down the regular animals that a tiger would kill there. Uh so she figured humans were easier. So, yes, so she was recorded to kill over. 436 humans.

SPEAKER_03

Over seven years.

SPEAKER_05

Whoa. Crazy. That's impressive. And Jim Corbett ended it.

unknown

More than one a week for seven years straight.

SPEAKER_05

It's more than one a week for seven years straight. Yeah. Isn't that crazy? That's a lot. That is a lot. Um and it was a female. Yeah. Well, bet you'd be crazy. Uh, yeah. So, yeah, that's nuts. Um, and Jim Corbett ended up, I think he started like an animal sanctuary later and stuff like that. Like he really respected her. But uh, you know, 436 people, that's a lot. At one point, uh, they even had the army come after her, the Nepal army went after her and everything. And yeah, must not be a good army. Well, they were at smarter by a tiger.

SPEAKER_03

No, she was good.

SPEAKER_05

Uh so yeah, it and she has the Guinness Book of World Records for the most human kills. Yeah. Crazy. Alright. Team Dog. What cat species has the strongest bite force? Is it A, the lion, B, the tiger, C, the jaguar, or D, the leopard. What cat species has the strongest bite force? Lion, tiger, jaguar, leopard. Give me an answer and tell me what you're thinking.

SPEAKER_00

Can you tell us what the bite force is?

SPEAKER_05

Because you're thinking back to previous questions. Okay. 1500 PSI.

SPEAKER_00

So not the lion.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, because you said the lion, yeah, it was 600. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

I didn't think you had to be that smart. Alright, so is it the tiger, jaguar, or leopard? Do you feel that much smarter? Thinking you have one up on old Ken?

SPEAKER_03

They did get one on you.

SPEAKER_05

Actually, that was smart. No, that was smart. That was good thinking. So you have it narrowed down to three. Tiger. Jaguar, leopard. Strongest bite force. I mean, alright, so I'm gonna give you guys this. Think about what these animals are hunting, maybe. Mm-hmm. What would they be hunting that they really need to, you know? That's all of you. Ryan's locked and loaded for if we have to switch. Alright, boys, I'm gonna need an answer. And oh, this is what I'm gonna do for this one. You guys have it narrowed down to three. So we're gonna take out the lion. Tiger, jaguar, leopard. You guys guess if you get it wrong, I will give it to the team Ding, and you guys will have a 50-50 shot.

SPEAKER_02

I'm leaning towards Jaguar.

SPEAKER_05

Why Dalton?

SPEAKER_00

Don't know. Guessing.

SPEAKER_05

Okay.

SPEAKER_00

I don't know. Yeah, I'm gonna trust Dalton on this one. Let's go for it.

SPEAKER_05

You gotta trust Dalton on this one?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

That was my guess.

SPEAKER_05

Why was it your guess, Ryan?

SPEAKER_03

Uh, I just seen videos of them taking out alligators before.

SPEAKER_05

Well, they don't have alligators where Jagarslid. Sorry. No, Cayman.

SPEAKER_03

Cayman? Or okay, whatever it was. I seen him jump off a bank and grab him.

SPEAKER_05

Um I don't know if you guys like blowing much, but you're gonna be able to do that on your new calls because you guys have won uh the jaguar with a bite force of up to 1,500 PSI, the strongest of all cat species. I'm surprised you guys got that so quick. So you'd think line, but we eliminated lion because you remembered from earlier, Anthony. Very smart. The tiger, I'd think the tiger had more or the leopard, but the jaguar.

SPEAKER_02

So the tiger fucked with the steak at the zoo one time and he didn't barely do anything. Well, so the jaguar steed it like I would. It was a knife and fork never near the stick, but the thickest thing is a great mistake.

SPEAKER_05

Um, yeah, so the jaguar, the jaguar has the most. So you guys get ready to blow. Um because you guys have won the calls. This has been the longest trivia we've done. Now we talked about Ducks Delta Waterfell a little bit earlier, but this is really good. You guys did an excellent job discussing your answers out loud on either side, and you're all winners in this case. But since we're not the regular school system, there can really only be two winners. You guys won Anthony and Dalton. Congratulations. You have won Custom Rivers Edge Game Calls, Predator Calls. I'm sorry about putting my toe on one of them. Thanks, boys.
