CLICK THE DONATE BUTTON TO HELP US SAVE RHINOS!

This first-of-its-kind episode was made from our livestream on April 10, 2024, during which Coyote took a bite LIVE from one of the world’s most lethal and mysterious centipedes with medical support from Doctor ER.

"WHY", you ask? All for conservation! The funds raised from the livestream and this episode are being donated to "Save the Horns," an initiative to protect critically endangered Black Rhinos in South Africa.

also benefit this conservation effort.

Special thanks to Doctor ER and his team for partaking in this incredible livestream event!

Thank you also to Scales and Tails of Ohio (SATOO) for providing the centipedes!

Thank you Coyote for inviting me along for this bite-sized thrill for a BIG cause. Can’t wait for the next adventure! 😎

5 years from now: coyote takes the bite from a zombie and becomes the antidote

[thomasshelby]

You can literally see the fear in the doc's eye when the centipede is going closer near his neck. Kudos to him for agreeing to do it impromptu

The most impressive part of these videos is that he never swears

[kimbriank]

"Where's my heart rate"
"You're actually doing really good... you're 126 bpm"
*HR jumps to 148 bpm*

“ don’t you let it get to my neck!”
“No Jordan what’s so cool about this is…”
😂

[edenanimates]

“Your not afraid of centipedes are you”
“Jax, that’s literally my only fear, why would you do this”

For those of you criticizing coyote i think you forgot one thing... the centipede appears to be very unhealthy but not at the fault of coyote and his team. It is more than likely due to the person who sold it to them and it's shipping conditions. We see this in the aquarium trade often as well

[centipedeproductions]

The centipede he was bitten by, S. dehaani, is a species with a pretty potent venom, but it is not the most venomous. Species that are much more likely to be closer to the number one spot include E. rubripes spinosis, sp. "Malaysian tiger, " and potentially E. rubripes platycephalus. To my knowledge, centipedes are capable of controlling how much venom they inject, so that is something to consider.

A couple other people mentioned this, and I agree. Yeah, that centipede is not healthy. You can tell by the sluggish movement, and it appears it can barely move its anntenae at all. It has pretty severe mycosis, which is a fungal infection that can be caused by dirty conditions, inadequate ventilation, and keeping them too wet. Mycosis appears as black patches that slowly eat away at the centipede, and it can be found on any part of its body. If you do not take care of the infection, it will almost certainly result in death. Keeping centipedes very moist with little ventilation is a common mistake due to all the misinformation online.

To get rid of mycosis, you must increase ventilation and completely dry their enclosure, but make sure you have a water dish constantly full so it does not desiccate. This will stop it from spreading any further until the pede reaches its next molt, which will save it if it's not too late already. (In your case I'm quite sure it's too late though.) Another method I have seen is to make a pure rock salt solution by placing a small amount of rock salt in boiling water for 5-10 minutes. Apply it to the infected areas of the centipede with a Q-tip, then gently scratch it away with a toothpick. This is a lot more tedious, considering you have to knock it out before you do it. There are two ways to knock them out: CO2 and ice water. I'd recommend ice water since most people are able to do that rather than CO2, and ice water works well enough.

The species in the beginning is a good example of all the misinformation because it is often misidentified as "Scolopendra gigantea, " which is not true; it is an unidentified species yet to be described. The problem that occurs when you misidentify species like that, especially in this case, is that they are found in different environments, therefore requiring different care. The species in the beginning is known as "sp. white legs." They are found in a more arid environment in the highlands of Peru. On the other hand, the true S. gigantea that it's being misidentified as is found in a lower, more humid environment, such as parts of Venezuela, Colombia, and Trinidad. I believe it is found in more than just those three places, but I can't remember off the top of my head.

Never expected Dr Wagner and Coyote to link up for a video but I'm all here for it

[indrewsshoes]

I like the doctor being there helps add a new complex to the symptoms you are feeling

[WhipperSnapper_]

Coyote’s immune system gotta be pissed that he keeps doing this to himself

[randokaratajev]

Damn Coyote is what is left of a human after you remove fear 100% and still decide to boost braveness by 500%.
He's like the ultimate survivor who is also the last expected person to survive.

[jumpguyty]

Would love to see more collabs like this! Having Doc there really helps with perspective of fear and context of symptoms. 🙌🏻

[TomYTBoi]

coyote peterson is INSANE, he gets my respect

[Dubking]

I've never commented on a video before but these videos are absolutely amazing! Keep fueling the younger generation with informative content 🔥

[StarDarkAshes]

I had a feeling it looked very sickly too. I kind of felt bad for it.

[carsofun]

The number of guts this man has for him to do things is mad respect.
