- [Coyote] I'm Coyote Peterson and I'm about to be bitten.
(Coyote screaming in pain)
This guys this is worst than a sting.
(Coyote screaming in pain)
One, two.
Yeah he got me.
(jungle music)
It's a fair statement to say, that my job bites
and I guess sometimes it also stings,
but today we're not gonna talk about stings,
we're gonna save that for another video.
Because this episode is all about the worst bites
I have taken thus far on the Brave wilderness channel.
And there have been many like the collared lizard,
which really wasn't that bad,
and then there was the spiny lizard
which also wasn't that bad.
I think we can all remember the helder mite,
(shudders) that was a living nightmare.
And even something like the Burmese python
which did draw blood, but really left me pretty unscathed.
Now most of the bites I take are intentional,
but then again, sometimes they happen on accident
just like the gila monster.
That was not a good day.
Now what I wanna do is count down the top five best
and when I say best, I mean most painful bites
that I have taken over the course in three years
on the Brave Wilderness channel.
And to kick it off, let's travel back down to West Virginia
where I had the unique opportunity to get up close
for a day of tactical training with man's best friend.
(classical music)
- You will feel every bit of the pressure
from the bite of the dog.
- Oh yeah.
- Just no puncture.
- This is what you have to wear
if you wanna get taken down by a canine.
Alright Jer are we ready?
- [Cameraman] I think we are ready, you ready Mario?
And we're rolling.
- One, two, I'm running to the telephone pole, three.
(Coyote screaming)
Man she's a lot stronger than you would think.
(screams) She's spinning me around in circles. (screams)
I can see how this would easily take down a criminal.
(Coyote screaming)
(Coyote grunting)
- [Cameraman] You alright buddy?
- You know, despite her ferocious appearance,
Mya was actually the most kindhearted
and loving tactical attack dog
I think you probably could of ever worked with.
Now a dog makes a good pet,
but you know what doesn't make a good pet, an alligator.
I think you guys all remember this episode,
so let's travel back down to Florida
and see what happens when your baby alligator
reaches it's fourth birthday.
Roll the footage.
I am trying to mentally put myself in a place
where I'm not gonna feel the pain. (sighs)
- [Cameraman] This is the real deal.
- This is the real deal.
Alright Junior, go easy on me buddy.
Ready, everyone ready?
- [Cameraman] Rolling.
- Here we go, one, two, three.
(wails in agony)
Oh yeah he is into my arm and he is holding on.
(grunting) Yup, alright, that feels like big needles
going into my forearm and I can see there,
that those teeth are deep down into my skin.
Oh yeah he's really holding on.
(Coyote grunting)
Alright I think to get him to let go,
I'm gonna try to just pry his jaw down a little bit,
and pull my arm out, you ready?
No he's not letting go, he's locked onto my arm guys.
You know what, let's get a bottle of water (grunting)
there's some teeth underneath that have
just popped through the underside of my arm.
Alright I'm a dump a little bit of water on him you ready?
Here we go, alright buddy let go, let go, oh!
I don't want him to like slide back. (screams in pain)
He's biting down harder and harder and harder.
Believe it or not,
my arm was stuck in the mouth
of that alligator for seven minutes.
Still wanna get an alligator as a pet?
Now reptile bites can be really bad
because often times they can cause infection.
Now this next bite didn't exactly go according to plan.
I don't think this is one that I'm ever going to forget.
(classical music)
Oh boy we are seconds away from
me being shunt by the common snapping turtle.
[Cameraman] Coyote your go pro is rolling.
This is crazy, this is crazy, this is crazy.
- (sighs) I'm Coyote Peterson and I'm about to enter
the chomp zone with the common snapping turtle.
Are you ready?
- [Cameraman] Let's do this.
- One, two, (sighs) three.
(screams in pain)
He missed the wood!
He's latched onto my hand.
- [Mario] Are you alright?
(screaming) Oh he's ripping the side of my hand.
Oh my gosh, okay I'm not gonna touch the turtle.
He missed the wood, this is bad, he's-- (screams in pain).
Mario get me a bottle of water.
Ah ah ah ah, he's biting down harder,
he's biting down harder, that's not working,
that's not working, oh boy.
I'm gonna go straight to the rubbing alcohol.
- [Mario] You ready?
- He's got the backside of my hand,
yup, go ahead just kind of dump some into his mouth there.
- [Mario] Ready?
- Real light, real light.
Okay there he goes, he's trying to get off,
he's trying to get off, there he goes. (wails in pain)
Wow he cut major holes in my hand.
Okay let me dip him in the water
to get that rubbing alcohol off.
There you go little buddy.
- [Man] Oh my goodness, you had me really nervous.
(Coyote grunting in pain)
You okay?
- Yeah, ow geez, oh man.
He bit right there and slid off to the side.
(wailing in pain)
Oh that hurt.
It missed the wood!
I honestly couldn't think of anything else to say
in that moment because the pain was so incredible.
Fortunately, my team was on hand,
and Mario jumped in to help me get
the turtle off of my hand.
Now I've said it before, and I'll say it again,
guys do not try to catch snapping turtles
because if you are bitten, trust me,
it's gonna be a really bad day.
Now the next bite is one that
I have avoided for a very long time,
but due to popular Coyote pack demand,
I finally decided to face my fears and go through with it.
I'll tell you what,
I've been bitten by this creature as a child,
and trust me when I say, it is absolutely excruciating.
(classical music)
Oh, look at that creature.
An alien from another planet.
I'm not doing this scene in the dark guys,
we'll wait until tomorrow morning.
And yes I'm going to let my big toe
be bitten by the toe biter.
Oh look at that!
Oh it is so strong.
- [Man] Did it grip?
- Good grip, good grip.
Are we ready?
- [Man] We're ready.
- Okay here we go.
(screams) Get back into the container!
(wailing in agony)
This guys this is worst than a sting.
Oh my foot is throbbing.
Oh this is like, this is like dropping a brick on your toe.
Ow, I can't move my toe.
(shudders) The feeling of that rostrum going into your toe
is like (screams) the pain is unbelievable,
and I think it goes without saying guys
that whatever you do, try to avoid giant water bugs.
Now I guess as I say that I also realize that our number one
most painful bite needs no elaborate introduction.
So if you guys are ready, let's jump right into
being bitten by a giant desert centipede.
A centipede, oh look at this!
Oh no no it's moving, give me that Tupperware container.
I got him pinned, oohwee!
- [Man] There he goes.
- [Coyote] Oops, oh he got out, aargh!
- [Man] Nice, we got it.
- Whoo! (sighs)
- [Man] That is a big centipede.
- That will get your heart racing.
The bite from this creature is one of the most
painful here in the Southwest.
And if there is one creature that gets my heart racing,
it is the giant desert centipede.
Here we are, seven o'clock in the morning.
I think we all know what's going to happen.
Alright guys, I'm gonna do it.
I'm gonna be bitten by the giant desert centipede
so that I can explain to you just how painful
the bite from this creature really is.
I'm gonna gently go in and pin it, ready?
- [Man] Yeah.
That's creepy.
- There's the commitment.
Okay, got a hold on it.
Ow man those little legs are digging into me.
Whoa, look at those fangs, my goodness, okay here we go.
Ow! (grunting in agony)
Immediately searing.
Oh my gosh it's so much worse than bullet ant sting!
(grunting in agony)
It's just searing my skin.
Oh my gosh this is the worst pain I have felt
since the gila monster.
It's absolutely, just completely eclipses
all the insect stings I've taken.
(grunting in pain)
(grunts) That episode still makes my skin crawl
and trust me when I say,
a bite from the giant desert centipede,
is the worst bite I have ever taken.
Now the venomous bites are often times worse
than the nonvenomous bites,
and no matter what, if you're ever bitten by an animal,
make sure that you seek medical attention.
But I have to tell you guys,
always try to avoid being bitten
and the best way to do that
is to simply admire these creatures from a safe distance.
Now I know a lot of you are wondering,
and maybe even writing in the comment section below,
Coyote, are you going to be bitten by a great white shark?
No, are you gonna be bitten by a lion?
No, are you gonna be bitten by a tiger?
No guys I'm not going to be bitten by any of these
major predators or highly venomous snakes.
When it comes to Bigfoot, hmm,
well that might make a pretty interesting episode
if we can actually find one.
I'm Coyote Peterson, be brave, stay wild.
