As a child I was obsessed with National Geographic, as an adult I'm obsessed with Casual Geographic

The most annoying thing about cats is they can sleep for 20+ hours a day and still be in better shape than any human who's obsessed with exercising; able to pakour all over the place, leap straight up more than their body length, sprint like crazy and I'm sure they could bench press twice their own body weight if given the opportunity.

I watched this with my 9 lb Norwegian forest cat.

She ignored the big cats section, choosing instead to take a nap on my feet.
She started paying attention when the snow leopard showed up.
She definitely thought the cheetah was a bird.
She purred through the Pallas' cat section, but was confused by the lynxes.
She hated the caricals hissing
When the fishing cat showed up, she went to the foot of the bed to give herself a bath.

That tiger had a full on John Wick backstory. 400 people is crazy

How cats can simultaneously be perfectly evolved killing machines as well as the biggest goofballs will never not be hilarious to me

[Eckister]

".... that's not a kitten, that's a grown man ... with bills to pay."
I love you man! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Leopards legit be out here playing real life assassin's creed

8:17 Snow leopards wasn’t in the panthera genus until recently though. It was first the only cat in the genus Uncia, but was reclassified as a panthera eventually. That’s why it doesn’t really fit in with the rest of the panthers

I want an hour long special where casual geographic just rambles and talks about cats… like ALL of them

Cats:**are the most successful mammal 2nd to humans in terms of hunting, not to mention being perfectly evolved just to murder, and are fairly intelligent**
Also cats: **cute little furballs**

I was at Busch Gardens tampa, and I needed to take a rest because I have a really bad back. I was sitting on a jeep that was converted into a bench that extended through the glass and made it seem as though you were driving into the enclosure. A male lion came out of some shrubs after a few minutes and hopped up on the hood of the jeep. Even though it was held in place by the exhibit, you could feel the entire thing move when he hopped up. He laid on his side like a house cat and began pawing and licking the windshield infront of me. I sat and just watched him for about half an hour, just in awe at how close I was to this beautiful creature.

When I got up to leave, he sat up on his hind legs on the hood, looked around, and let out a roar that shook the glass. To this day I haven’t heard a sound I could compare it to. He was about 25 feet away, and from that distance, it was so loud and deep it almost didn’t register. It shook my diaphragm like the bass at a concert, and everything around the exhibit hummed and vibrated. It seriously felt like getting hit with a massage gun. He went off for about 10 seconds, then when he finished, he jumped off the hood and ran back into the shrubs.

That is one of my favourite memories, and I feel incredibly lucky to have witnessed him. He definitely wanted to snack on me, but I don’t imagine I will ever have a chance to be that close to a big cat again, and I cherish my time with him.

“No for real though they are dying” 💀 the genuine whiplash this gave me

The clip of the Lynx solving a dispute by screaming at eachother (sounding like humans immitating cats badly) is exactly why 90% of Appalachian folklore is basically "if you heard something in the woods, no you didn't".

Edit: i didn't mean to imply that lynx are the only reason for these stories. There are way to many sources of weird noises to list, and just as many ways to die while wandering around the woods at 3am investigating weird noises. (animals, tripping, cliffs, and getting lost/turned around, ect)

Its also just simpler and more effective to say the woods are haunted than explaining the actual dangers. Plus its more fun to tell a ghost story than give a normal safety briefing.

It's so adorable how cats are obsessed with looking fierce. They are always like, "I'M BIG! I'M SCARY! FEAR ME! FEAR MY WRATH! even when they are clearly just the cutest little buggers.

Waking to a wild cougar screaming in the middle of a very dark night, will make the heart race.

[erikwoodruff]

Honestly breaking any and all rules possible is a pretty cat thing to do

[ElusiveLion]

Thank you so much for making this video. As a biologist the amount of times I've had to explain to people that black panthers/white tigers aren't a unique species and what's classified as a big cat are astounding. I hope that with how popular you are, this information reaches many people.

[ExcitedBiscuits-tqxx]

“cats are whores for elevated surfaces” i slowly look to my closet to see not just one but both my cats up there. well done mister.

'this one's in houston'
makes sense considering he's being held at gun point. what you can't see is the 40mm porch-mounted grenade launcher that is also being pointed at the tiger
