Welcome back to the Alien Space Sheep Talk Show podcast.
2
00:00:23,040 –> 00:00:30,040
In case you’re just joining us, you’re listening to the Alien Space Sheep Talk Show podcast
3
00:00:30,040 –> 00:00:32,040
with Emma Hickins and Trevor Gehr.
4
00:00:32,040 –> 00:00:39,040
I’m playing for my Shand Friends, which is quite a clever little quotation actually from
5
00:00:39,040 –> 00:00:42,040
the 19th century I believe.
6
00:00:42,040 –> 00:00:52,040
Shand Pain for my real friends, real pain for my Shand Friends, which touches on friends who are our friends in species that run along
7
00:00:52,040 –> 00:00:53,040
all side us.
8
00:00:53,040 –> 00:01:05,040
Now the next question to you is this, what do you think the most dangerous animal on this planet is?
9
00:01:05,040 –> 00:01:09,040
Animals include mammals, vertebrates, everything.
10
00:01:09,040 –> 00:01:17,040
What do you think the most dangerous of the species is in the animal kingdom?
11
00:01:17,040 –> 00:01:22,040
Well I think the most dangerous will be humans.
12
00:01:22,040 –> 00:01:25,040
I thought you would say that and I think probably most people would say that.
13
00:01:25,040 –> 00:01:28,040
I would have said that till I look this up.
14
00:01:28,040 –> 00:01:33,040
There are humans, we are very high up on the list.
15
00:01:33,040 –> 00:01:39,040
But in fact the most dangerous animal in the world is the Mosquito.
16
00:01:39,040 –> 00:01:45,040
Now it’s dangerous and obviously we talk about danger in terms of dangerous to humans.
17
00:01:45,040 –> 00:01:55,040
Now the Mosquito kills approximately between 750,000 and 1 million humans every year around the world.
18
00:01:55,040 –> 00:01:57,040
And that’s really just a rough estimate.
19
00:01:57,040 –> 00:02:02,040
It’s probably more, basically they don’t attack humans but they pass on.
20
00:02:02,040 –> 00:02:08,040
This is like malaria, dengue fever and other very dangerous things.
21
00:02:08,040 –> 00:02:16,040
Okay so the Mosquito is the most dangerous animal. What about number two, who do you think is second?
22
00:02:16,040 –> 00:02:17,040
Humans.
23
00:02:17,040 –> 00:02:19,040
Yeah go for it again.
24
00:02:19,040 –> 00:02:24,040
Yeah, humans are the second most dangerous animal and we are responsible,
25
00:02:24,040 –> 00:02:31,040
apparently, for up to 475,000 homicides or murders every year.
26
00:02:31,040 –> 00:02:35,040
Now that of course is just humans against humans.
27
00:02:35,040 –> 00:02:40,040
But that doesn’t count perhaps in humanity to the animals.
28
00:02:40,040 –> 00:02:44,040
We obviously kill a lot of animals in sex and other things.
29
00:02:44,040 –> 00:02:46,040
So we’ll perhaps come to that in a minute.
30
00:02:46,040 –> 00:02:52,040
Okay number three, then what do you think the third most dangerous animal is?
31
00:02:52,040 –> 00:02:59,040
The third most dangerous animal probably be snakes.
32
00:02:59,040 –> 00:03:00,040
You’re very good.
33
00:03:00,040 –> 00:03:06,040
You’ve been looking at my notes, look at me. That’s good.
34
00:03:06,040 –> 00:03:16,040
Yeah snakes are responsible for roughly 100,000 to 150,000 deaths every year due to venomous bites.
35
00:03:16,040 –> 00:03:25,040
I mean that’s quite a staggering number that many people lose their lives having been bitten by a snake that’s pretty awful.
36
00:03:25,040 –> 00:03:36,040
Okay, next one, number four, but this is probably the third if we’re looking at most deadliest to humans, which we are.
37
00:03:36,040 –> 00:03:44,040
So number the third one after the mosquitoes, snakes, what’s the third one that kills most humans?
38
00:03:44,040 –> 00:03:54,040
The third one, the third one would be scorpions.
39
00:03:54,040 –> 00:03:58,040
No good guess. It’s actually dogs.
40
00:03:58,040 –> 00:04:13,040
Dogs. The third deadliest animal to humans, if excluding our own species as I’ve said, and it accounts for up to 60,000 deaths annually, primarily through the dreadful illness rapes.
41
00:04:13,040 –> 00:04:20,040
If you get bitten, in fact, I read a story a few months ago of a British lady who was on holiday somewhere.
42
00:04:20,040 –> 00:04:27,040
It may have been Morocco and a little dog simply innocently if you like, came up a litter on her arm.
43
00:04:27,040 –> 00:04:31,040
She thought nothing of it at all. It wasn’t a bite. It was a lick.
44
00:04:31,040 –> 00:04:34,040
She was over there with her family, her children and everything.
45
00:04:34,040 –> 00:04:40,040
Three or four months later and I gather rabies can incubate for three or four months, even longer.
46
00:04:40,040 –> 00:04:41,040
Oh, wow.
47
00:04:41,040 –> 00:04:49,040
She suddenly developed, started developing symptoms of rabies and of course if you don’t get immediately vaccinated after you’ve been bitten.
48
00:04:49,040 –> 00:04:53,040
Or licked in this case, then there’s no cure.
49
00:04:53,040 –> 00:05:02,040
She died a very unpleasant death, according to her family. Her rabies is a very disastrous illness.
50
00:05:02,040 –> 00:05:07,040
Thankfully it’s not been in this country for many years.
51
00:05:07,040 –> 00:05:08,040
That’s good.
52
00:05:08,040 –> 00:05:25,040
The last one in terms of danger is fresh water snails, not sure what they are, but apparently they’ve caused between 20,000 and 200,000 deaths each year by spreading the parasitic disease.
53
00:05:25,040 –> 00:05:32,040
She’s just also me assets. I’m going to be careful. She’s just also me assets.
54
00:05:32,040 –> 00:05:45,040
They’re the most dangerous animals. If we move on from there, as I say, we share our lives on this planet with these people.
55
00:05:45,040 –> 00:05:55,040
I’d like us to look at saying that it’s a well known phrase. I think it’s from the Bible. We’re not doing religion, but I paraphrasing this.
56
00:05:55,040 –> 00:06:05,040
So this greater love has no one to miss that someone leads down their life for a friend or for another.
57
00:06:05,040 –> 00:06:13,040
Now, before we get on to that, because we need to think what our friends and so on, I’m going to ask you a question.
58
00:06:13,040 –> 00:06:16,040
Around your home.
59
00:06:16,040 –> 00:06:26,040
