0:59

now it's time for Who's Smarted. Psst,

1:03

hey smarty pants, can I be

1:05

completely honest with you? I'm actually

1:07

a little nervous today. You see,

1:10

I agreed to help my pal, N.A.'s

1:13

reporter slash weatherman slash sportscaster slash bagel

1:15

store owner Chad Nickerson with a new

1:17

segment he's doing, but now I kind

1:19

of wish I hadn't. You

1:21

see, Chad is planning to interview some

1:24

animals to find out which one is

1:26

the most dangerous. Now,

1:29

I've met a lot of animals on Who's Smarted,

1:31

but to be even more honest, I'm

1:33

not sure which is the most dangerous.

1:36

What if it's something really

1:38

scary? Hey

1:41

hey, there he is. You ready,

1:43

trusty? We can't keep the world's

1:45

most dangerous animals waiting. We

1:47

certainly wouldn't want to upset them. Oh

1:50

boy, all right. Smarty pants, I've eaten an

1:52

energy bar. Put

1:55

on my sneakers in case I have to run for my life.

1:58

I've also gone to the bathroom. So

2:02

hopefully I don't go in my pants when

2:04

I see the scare animals. It's time to

2:06

face my fears and find the answers to

2:08

questions like what is the most dangerous animal.

2:11

What? Makes them animal dangerous in

2:13

the first place and are the

2:15

biggest animals always the most dangerous

2:17

sniffs. Time for another with of

2:20

science history and seer on. Sources

2:30

know. That

2:37

every month. Or

2:44

right son who's or first kiss. Smarty

2:49

Pants and looking at us terrorists

2:51

brown animal as like a cat

2:53

only about twenty times bigger with

2:55

a beautiful sick made of hair

2:57

around his head. As we hadn't

3:00

shouted out I heard a lot

3:02

of Smarty Pants say to lion.

3:07

Undergo Oh come on

3:09

trustees, stop being such

3:12

a cowardly narrator Besides

3:14

pizza or animals before

3:16

the interview. certainly wouldn't

3:18

be hungry. Bird.

3:24

Mister would you tell us

3:26

about yourself when I was

3:28

in Asiatic live which is

3:31

a subspecies of my sleep

3:33

is what you think a

3:35

subspecies is. Is it a

3:37

type of a certain and

3:39

be a smaller or see

3:41

an animal the troubles underwater

3:44

in a submarine. If

3:48

you set a specific type of a

3:50

certain animal, nice job. asiatic

3:53

lines live in the shrub

3:55

lands and forests of western

3:58

india and trustees thanks noticing

4:00

my beautiful sixth mane of hair.

4:03

Male Asiatic lions with large

4:05

dark manes are usually the

4:08

healthiest. And they don't

4:10

even use shampoo! Well, I'm

4:12

glad you're feeling healthy. I also can't

4:14

help but notice you're really, really big.

4:16

Smarty Pants, how long do you think

4:19

Asiatic lions grow? Is it

4:21

over 5 feet or 1.5 meters? Over

4:24

8 feet or 2 meters? Or

4:27

over 10 feet, 3 meters? If

4:30

you said over 8 feet slash 2

4:32

meters, nice job! Asiatic

4:36

lions grow to be around 8.2 feet or 2.49

4:38

meters long. And

4:43

the biggest was nearly 10 feet or 3 meters. That

4:48

is much bigger than me! We also

4:50

weigh around 400 and 500 pounds. Yikes!

4:55

That's like 3 of me! And

4:58

I can jump 36 feet or 10.9 meters. Wow!

5:04

The world's long jump record for humans

5:06

is 29.36 feet or 8.94 meters! It's

5:13

not even close! Now that's

5:15

impressive! The fact that

5:17

something that big and heavy can

5:19

jump that far is also pretty

5:22

terrifying. You say terrifying? I

5:24

say necessary. I,

5:27

like most lions, will

5:29

ferociously defend my territory. That

5:34

wild roar is enough to keep me

5:36

away from your territory. In fact, we

5:38

can go now, Chet! Oh,

5:40

hang on, hang on! How would another

5:43

animal know which territory is yours?

5:46

Because of these. Whoa!

5:49

Look at those giant claws!

5:52

They could shrink Trusty Narrator

5:54

in seconds! Yes, I'm pretty

5:56

proud of them. My claws

5:58

retract to stay sharp. We

6:01

mark our territory with our claws.

6:05

Nope, not going anywhere near those. So,

6:07

Asiatic Lion, are you the most dangerous animal

6:10

in the world? I'm flattered

6:12

you think so. But no. Well,

6:15

that's just great. There are animals that are

6:18

even more dangerous than this giant lion. You

6:21

ain't lions! Come on,

6:23

trusty, let's meet our next guest. Hello,

6:27

smarty pants. Oh

6:29

boy, smarty pants, this animal is

6:31

also cat-like, but much, much bigger. With

6:33

orange and black striped fur. Go ahead

6:35

and shout out what you think it

6:37

is. If you said

6:40

I'm a tiger, that's great.

6:44

So, Mr. Tiger, what can you

6:46

tell us about yourself? Well,

6:49

I'm a Bengal tiger. I'm

6:51

a dangerous predator. I'm also pretty

6:53

long. Smarty

6:59

Pants, the Asiatic Lion was over

7:01

eight feet long. Do you think

7:03

the Bengal tiger is bigger or

7:05

smaller? The answer is... Bigger.

7:12

That's right! Adult male Bengal tigers

7:14

can grow to ten feet long

7:16

or 3.2 meters,

7:19

and tend to weigh around 500 pounds. That's

7:23

how much a grand piano weighs. So,

7:26

where do you live? So I know not

7:28

to go there. Bengal

7:30

tigers live in the

7:32

wetlands, grasslands, tropical forests,

7:34

and mangrove forests of

7:36

southern Asia. And

7:38

you prefer the company of other animals or

7:41

narrators? Absolutely not.

7:44

We like being alone. We're

7:47

very territorial. We're

7:51

leaving. Hold on, trusty. Just

7:53

one more question. He

7:56

likes to be alone, and his claws are the width

7:58

of my hand. I've seen

8:00

enough. But I guess we

8:02

should ask. Bengal Tiger, are you

8:04

the most dangerous animal? As

8:07

much as it would be great to

8:09

say yes, I'm gonna say no.

8:12

Great! There's something even more

8:14

dangerous. Hang in there, trusty!

8:16

Let's meet our next guest! Whoa,

8:19

Smarty Pants! Smarty

8:21

Pants, I am looking at a

8:23

humongous animal with gray skin, floppy

8:25

ears, and a long trunk. Go

8:28

ahead and shout it out. That's right.

8:31

I'm an elephant. Oh,

8:33

wait. An elephant? How are elephants dangerous?

8:36

I thought they only ate plants and

8:38

were nice to people. Smarty

8:40

Pants, do you know? While

8:42

it's true, elephants eat plants

8:44

and are generally calm and

8:46

gentle, the fact

8:48

is, we're really, really big,

8:50

and really, really heavy, and

8:53

really, really strong. Plus,

8:56

elephants know how to defend

8:58

themselves, so if we get

9:00

scared or upset, we can

9:02

stampede, and very little can

9:04

stop us. Trusty, did you

9:06

know elephants can grow up to 13 feet or

9:08

3.9 meters tall and weigh up to 15,000 pounds?

9:15

That is the same as a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

9:19

As the biggest land mammal on Earth,

9:21

I can use my weight to

9:24

easily overpower other animals. I

9:26

will definitely not get you angry.

9:28

So are you the most dangerous

9:31

animal? Nah. There's much

9:33

more dangerous animals than me.

9:36

Great. Come

9:39

on, Trusty. Let's meet our next guest.

9:42

Oh, wow. This animal kind of looks

9:44

like a dog but lives in the

9:46

wild. Smarty Pants, any idea what I'm

9:48

looking at? You. You

9:51

said wolf. You're right. Wolves

9:54

like me challenge grizzly bears as

9:56

the top predators in many habitats.

9:59

Oh, and... Grizzly bears are huge so

10:01

wolves must have really special skills.

10:04

We do. We're great runners and

10:07

swimmers so most prey have no chance

10:09

against us. That's like pizza

10:11

not having a chance against me. But

10:13

I gotta say, Mr. Wolf, compared to the

10:15

other animals we've met, you seem on the

10:18

smaller side. Smarty Pants, how much

10:20

do you think wolves weigh? Is it 100

10:22

pounds, 130 pounds, or 180 pounds? If

10:26

you said 130 pounds, you're right. For

10:30

a female wolf and for a male

10:32

wolf, it's around 180 pounds. No

10:35

offense, but that's big for say, a dog, but

10:37

that's not much more than I weigh. That's a

10:39

lot smaller than I thought one of the most

10:41

dangerous animals would be. True,

10:43

but bigger doesn't always

10:45

mean more dangerous. Remember that.

10:48

I see. And we'll find out

10:50

why after this quick break and a word from our

10:53

sponsors. Hi,

summer, happy Father's Day and

15:44

happy eating. Now

15:47

back to who smarted. We just found

15:49

out that biggest doesn't always mean most

15:51

dangerous. No. But

15:57

Mr. Wolf, are you the most dangerous animal?

16:00

Not even close, dude. Later.

16:05

Okay, trusty, that was a great

16:07

warm-up, but now it's time to

16:10

hear from some of the world's

16:12

top, most dangerous animals. Do

16:14

we really have to? Why,

16:16

yes. Yes, we do. And

16:19

then we'll stop by Chet's Bagels

16:21

for some free bagels. Oh,

16:23

it's a deal. Who's next? Hey,

16:28

trusty. Hey, Chet. I'm one of the most

16:30

dangerous animals in the world. Wait, who said

16:33

that? Me.

16:36

I'm a zee-zee fly buzzing around

16:38

your head. You? You're dangerous? You're just

16:41

a tiny little fly. I could smash

16:43

you up with my who-smarted script. Ah,

16:45

but trusty, remember what the wolf

16:47

said. Bigger doesn't always

16:50

mean more dangerous. Yep,

16:52

I might be small, but I'm parasitic. That means

16:54

I feed on the blood of other creatures, and

16:56

that can make them sick. The

16:59

bite of a zee-zee fly can

17:01

cause something called African Sleeping Sickness,

17:03

which is nearly 100% fatal. It's

17:07

estimated 50,000 to 500,000 people die from this disease every year. What?

17:16

Lucky for you, I've already eaten.

17:18

Bye! Holy

17:22

moly! Chet, that fly is

17:24

so dangerous! Yep, but

17:26

we're not done yet. Let's

17:28

head into the ocean! Uh,

17:31

what am I looking at? This little fish? I

17:34

might look little now, but

17:36

just watch! Whoa!

17:40

Now you're a little bigger, and definitely rounder

17:42

and spikier. I'm a

17:44

pufferfish. Even though I'm a small

17:46

fish, I have the most powerful

17:48

venom of any fish in the

17:50

world. And if you accidentally eat

17:53

me, it can be Sayonara. I

17:57

will definitely leave you off the menu. Next,

18:01

a snake! But

18:04

not just any snake. I'm

18:07

a saucy-held viper. Scientists

18:09

believe I'm responsible for more

18:12

human deaths than any other

18:14

snake species combined. I

18:16

also like to bite early and often. Great!

18:21

Next! Since we're talking

18:23

reptiles, here's another one for ya!

18:27

I was expecting to see this one on a list

18:29

of dangerous animals. Smarty Pants,

18:31

this long, green, scaly monster

18:33

has tons of teeth and

18:35

lives in rivers, merches and

18:37

swamps in sub-Saharan Africa. Is

18:40

it A, a crocodile? B, an

18:42

alligator? Or C, a chameleon? If

18:46

you said a crocodile, my

18:49

bite has up to 5,000 pounds per

18:51

square inch of force. That's

18:54

among the most powerful bites of any

18:56

animal on the planet. So,

18:59

are you the most dangerous animal?

19:02

Nope. Ta-ta! Okay,

19:05

trusty. That was all

19:07

fun and games. But, are

19:09

you now ready to meet the

19:12

most dangerous animal on the

19:14

planet? Yes, let's just

19:16

get it over with. As if this

19:18

weren't bad enough, there is an annoying mosquito bothering

19:20

me. Yes, but that's just

19:22

it! What's just it?

19:25

Me! I'm the most dangerous animal

19:27

in the world. Hold on.

19:29

The most dangerous animal in the world is

19:32

a mosquito? Since

19:34

subtypes of mosquitoes can cause

19:37

dangerous diseases like malaria, yellow

19:39

fever, Zika and dengue,

19:41

mosquitoes are considered the most

19:44

dangerous animal. Governments

19:46

and international organizations around the world

19:48

spend billions of dollars a year

19:51

fighting us. And

19:54

there you have it! You did it,

19:56

trusty! You survived a menagerie of some of the

19:58

most dangerous animals on the planet! dangerous

20:00

animals on the planet! I
