Juan sounds like he had a blast doing this countdown. These animals are very interesting in how they wart off attackers

[lazyDude]

I don't know why but I can't even look at the sea cucumber without getting creeped out.

[Wibajack]

Number 26: English people. English people have the natural ability to defend themselves with exorbitant amounts of sarcasm whenever they deem it necessary.

Its time for me to tell you something important. I don't know why I like Juans voice so much, but you have now put into my top 5 voices as 3rd place. Here is my list, and sorry if I have spelt your name wrong: 
1.Morgan Freeman
2.Someone I know named Gabriel
3.Juan of list25
4.The guy from house of cards
5.Batman

You should had added Ariane Grande with her high pitch prepubescent 9 years old voice.

the thumbnail really stood out. great work

[RigorMortisRape]

I was almost certain the Vinegaroon was gonna be on this list. Keep up the good work, Juan! Don't let any of these negative people get ya down.

[zachcrawford]

I think Bees should appear on this list. It basically rips itself in half when it stings. Also, not only is the stinger a self contained venom pump, it continually emits pheromones that act like a tag for other bees that reads like "this is the threat! attack this thing right here!".

[yeah]

So glad you took my advice to change the thumbnail.

[bluesilkdesigns]

I pooped when I get beat up. The people usually laugh and walk away. I win :-)

[ariadnasfantasy]

That meas pooping and puking are the number 1 defence mechanism among animal kingdom

[thathmgkidd]

[bigbosskuvera]

Your videos are really nice but if you used video clips instead of pic s it will be awesome

[Rikeilan]

Ha! I just had the stick insect at my school today!

[michaelcummings]

Top 25 European inventions....etc etc

[ththin]

If a opossum is being chased by a predictor that wants to eat them, wouldn't playing dead be suicide?
