there are giant centipedes jellyfish
Japanese Hornets snakes and vipers
unless you come right in the middle of

greetings from Tokyo it's Cathy cat this
time we're gonna talk about five
dangerous animals you need to avoid when
you're here in Japan also don't forget
if you need to a channel to subscribe
for more information news and travel
tips from into Japan
[Applause]
[Music]
your school number five insects
in Japan might be a lot bigger than back
in your country that's because there's a
very tropical climate here in summer for
example there are giant centipedes I
know it sounds like the stuff out of
nightmares it is thinking about this big
they're huge have loads and loads of
legs and they actually are poisonous so
apparently there haven't been any noted
cases of people dying from the poison
but it still is something that you
should definitely go straight to the
doctor if you get bitten by one of those
and again there will be in nature and so
watch out for those and don't play with
them because seriously they can bite
[Music]
number four jellyfish no Japanese people
love bathing in July but once it gets to
August and later in the summer more and
more jellyfish will appear now some
areas some bathing areas on the beach
will actually have a little net to keep
the jellyfish out so be careful don't go
outside of the net because you might get
stung by the jellyfish it hurts a lot
and it's a really experience you don't
want to have also you need to see the
doctor after that as well so definitely
listen to the people around you don't go
into the waters we're not allowed to
swim also if you go to the beach some
convenience stores near the beach will
have some medicine to help you against
the jellyfish sting sting sting stung
because it happens quite a lot in that
area if you're lucky and it's a guided
area so there will be some beard some
beach guards or similar like that or
Baywatch kind of type they will be there
and then it will help you as well in
case you get stung by a jellyfish again
don't play with them and try not to go
outside the designated swimming area
[Music]
number four
our Japanese Hornets they are big they
are vicious and they will attack humans
so they are actually quite the this
thing is very serious because it's very
very potent so they are fin reported
cases from 30 up to 40 people
dying from their sting so that's
definitely a situation you do not want
to be in don't provoke them by moving
your arm don't make them angry partly to
a page that I looked up and said just
try not to move ideally lie down flat on
the ground but ideally don't go near
them if you see one of them or you know
that there is a nest
don't go don't go check them out don't
go close according to the director right
now also if you wear something black
they might mistake you some for some
kind of other animal in that case they
might come and attack you too so try to
avoid wearing colors that are too dark
out in the wild as well in case you go
on a hiking trip somewhere where you
might encounter them number two snakes
and vipers
yes Japan has snakes Japan has Vipers
very very known is the Habu which is
also used in the hub ocean okinawa it's
a snake that appears in the area of
okinawa and they sometimes put it
actually in a kind of alcohol that one
is poisonous and one of the things that
it can also cause disabilities serious
serious stuff also the director has
found a very very even higher poisonous
snake recently in his neighborhood
[Music]
[Applause]
and that was an Instagram story that was
kind of dangerous and he knows how to
deal around while animals in Japan if
you see a snake though
don't try and touch it director you
shouldn't be touching it either on that
note if you get bitten by one of the
snakes directly go to the doctor's
hopefully there's someone else that can
help you every minute counts
so be super careful ideally when you go
out into the wild in Japan where
appropriate footing don't go out
flip-flops or shoes where you know
insects or animals might come and bite
you be very very careful about that the
nature here in Japan is wonderful it's
beautiful but it does contain quite a
lot of dangerous wild animals and
insects so watch out number one
dangerous animal is the one that you
will all encounter when you come to
Japan unless you come right in the
middle of winter and those are the
vicious vicious mosquitoes trust me they
will be different from where you from
generally everyone I know you get like
really large stings of them they're huge
they're vicious they are faster than
your insects they are smaller than your
insects and oh my god there's so much
harder to catch but you will definitely
encounter those on your trip in Japan
now one thing to watch out for is some
of them can carry a certain fever called
the dengue fever that has been a big
issue here in hard juju before so they
had to close the Yoyogi park and no one
could enter it for a while so be careful
try to use some anti mosquito spray and
always has something ready for the
stings and if you feel ill or feverish
after getting stung by a mosquito go and
see the doctor because you'll have to go
[Music]
bears boars monkeys these ones are the
obvious creatures that you should stay
away from
however like we mentioned these five
other creatures watch out for those
try not to try not to us play with them
try not to interact with them try to
stay away from them try to stay healthy
