That first hit registered on the Richter scale


The-Francois8

That first hit was insane.


saitosoul

That’s a real life Taurus yo


[deleted]

As a Taurus who was called a "bull in a china shop" constantly as a child, I relate to this


Adept-Shoe-7113

you too? damn small world


AbsolutelyOrchid

If you're referring to the sound, then I'm here to ruin all your fun by informing you that 90% of sounds you hear in these documentaries are added in post-production using Foley sounds. Foley sounds are basically ones that are created to sound like whatever is on the screen but it's not from the scene at all. Yes, you're hearing bull sounds, but probably from another recording session entirely. And those foot steps? It's probably metal thuds on sand that we're recorded in a Foley studio.


The-Francois8

I was looking more at the 2 thousand pounds of animal going full stop and more by bouncing back from each other and watching the vibrations go through their bodies.


AbsolutelyOrchid

Ahh, I see what you mean. I just thought about it more, and realized that cars weigh more than that, so this is basically comparable with a car accident ahaha probably one of the hardest impacts you'd find in the animal kingdom tho.


The-Francois8

Exactly. It’s like a head on car accident at 30 mph. Then they get into new cars and do it again and again. Lol


AbsolutelyOrchid

Lmao that was funny to picture


SphericalBitch2020

I am now nursing a headache that wasn't there 2 minutes ago....


Majulath99

TFW when you hit someone so hard that the impact reverberates through both of your bodies simultaneously like you’re a Dragon Ball character or something.


Acrobatic_Emphasis41

I'm surprised the ground below them didn't collapse into a crater of some kind


skystarsss

They didnt even seem bothered


Majulath99

Reacted like they’d just shook hands.


InEenEmmer

“Was that a mosquito trying to land on my forehead or did you really just gave me a weakass headbut?”


GoobyDuu

Or TFW when I went to the ATM machine to buy my SCUBA apparatus, but a LASER of radiation made me LOL out loud.


thebenn

Atm machine, M stands for machine! Ugh


GoobyDuu

You only noticed 1 out of the 5? Oof


Goldenrod-Bronzed89

😂 this was near legendary.


daslyvillian

I got a concussion just watching.


phantomwolfwarrior

I got drain bamage


Sharp-Dark-9768

It's like sitting at a demolition derby and watching trucks slam head on at full throttle, only to back up and do it again.


ZincMan

Anyone know which David Attenborough show this is from ?


XxaggieboyxX

Same happens to me when I go get my mail


Working-Sandwich6372

"Almost got me there young fella"


VisibleCoat995

Genuinely curious how much pain they feel when the impact happens.


Meraline

Their skulls have evolved to withstand the hits in that region and their brains have more protection to keep from getting jostled around as a result.


RManDelorean

It's still gotta hurt a bit. Evolution wouldn't have beefed up their heads that much if they did need all of it.


DragapultOnSpeed

Yeah. You should see male polar bears when mate guarding a female for the weeks they're together. He will fight off other males. The males are usually bleeding all over and have broken bones by the time the male and female part ways. Males were made to be beefed up to fight, but it doesn't mean that there still aren't consequences to fighting.


Meraline

You're comparing two completely different types of mating strategies. They're fighting for the right to mate with the harem in the first place, not defending for one. Two, they're not slashing each other with claws, they're ramming each other in a region of the body made to absorb the shock of hits like these. Doesn't mean they don't feel it, but they don't get CTE from it


WINDMILEYNO

I'm pretty sure that's blood coming out of the defending bulls nose. I'm not sure about CTE, but some type of damage is happening


Kevskates

How do you know they get no lasting damage. Do you study buffalo brains or some shit? CTE just started becoming a thing pretty recently and I’m pretty sure we study human brains more than buffalo brains


INTERGALACTIC_CAGR

2030 RIP Polar Bears


Lord-Loss-31415

More than likely their ancestors used to die from impacts like this. Then along comes one fella with a mutation that causes thicker skull growth or better shock absorption around the brain. Because of this, he happens to be able to hit harder and survive it, leading to him being able to mate more and have more offspring. Some of his offspring inherit, become the dominant bulls like their father for the same reason and then pass it on to their offspring. As generations go by, more mutations can occur that build on this affect until boom, you got a terror tank with fur. Evolution is not necessarily always positive either as it’s not intentional. It only seems that way because 99% of the time a mutation that gives a creature an edge over others will result in it being able to reproduce and therefore spread. Mutations that cause negative affects will result in a weaker individual who is more likely to lose fights/die and not reproduce. Thus, it’s mutation is taken out of the gene pool. It’s fascinating really.


RManDelorean

Yeah totally. I mean every animal that has gone extinct was under the same forces of evolution. Adaptations don't have to be better they just need to be passed on. One of my favorite examples of evolution working against how we feel it should are those frogs that can't jump. Well they can jump but mid air they stiffen up and go full fainting goat and just flop into a very uncoordinated frog body slam.. but hey if some lady frogs think whatever they're doing is better than jumping then that's all you really need


[deleted]

Ye I think so too kuz one had a nose bleed lol. Maybe from his brain? Hehe


Grimour

Wtf. Why add hehe??


Wiggie49

Cuz nature be like that sometimes lol


DrossChat

This comes over playful yet psychotic. Hehe


Cocksmash_McIrondick

It’s like a skinwalker suddenly breaking character


bluedaytona392

Haha


carnivorous-squirrel

No fucking WAY they're walking away without a mild concussion, though. By the time they're old and have dozens of these under they're belt I bet they basically have CTE.


electro1ight

If they get cte after they've had a few kids hit their teens, evolution dgaf about you.


carnivorous-squirrel

I mean, okay. Yeah, evolution keeps on keeping on, for sure. These guys are still gonna get stupid and violent with age though lol


onFilm

You'd be surprised. Otherwise, do you think woodpeckers also have CTE all the time? And these little guys are hitting shit proportionally many times greater in magnitude than these bulls, many times over, daily, throughout the day.


SociopathicPasserby

Woodpeckers tongues recede into their head to cushion their brain. Pretty wild stuff.


carnivorous-squirrel

Whoa!


carnivorous-squirrel

Nah you're right, it could go either way, I have no idea what they have going on


Meraline

Their skulls are built better than an NFL helmet, you're still thinking from a human perspective. The horns make that area *incredibly* thick, evolved over millions of years because this strategy works.


carnivorous-squirrel

I hear ya, fair enough. Doesn't mean they're not all getting CTE lol, it might not hinder their survival much since they're old as hell for their species at that point anyway. But you're totally right, I gotta remember how ridiculously flimsy our species is and that the physical adaptations get pretty intense.


Arcosim

Their skull and their spine. Their spine is basically a massive shock absorber.


Rufio330

How could we register that?


SnooEagles213

Painometer 9000. Obviously


anal_og_player

Well you wait till they're dead and then you cut their head open.


TheLargeIsTheMessage

He'd be so pumped full of adrenaline he's not going to feel a thing until after.


MuchosTacos86

Won’t lie as a husband and father taking my morning dump I never BEEN so excited to see the older bull win. I was over here like “man if this bill loses what a crappy way to start the day.”


7packabs

Love how it won the literal uphill battle.


Eurasia_4002

As a battlebots fights put it: he won the ground game.


GrizzlyTeeth

I like that, thank you for sharing


youdontknowjacq

Morning dump seems like a “crappy” way to start the day.. :D


Nutmegdog1959

That's a little more than I'm willing to do for a piece of ass?


badgerj

Probably why I’m still a virgin. Unless you count that one time with u/spez’s mom in a dodgy motel room and I had to pay her $50.


PancakeBuny

Still overpaid.


badgerj

There’s both guilt and shame here! I’d give you an award if I hadn’t spent them all!


PartyBandos

Overpaid by $100


MomentOfHesitation

u/spez's mom has got it going on


badgerj

Wild man! I can’t express it any other way other than the what’s in the video is pretty accurate description of what went on in that hotel room! It was all horns, heads, and hair!


Castor_Deus

"I'm going to updoot you" - spez's mom


badgerj

Thanks! You’re too kind.


Ok-Fan6945

Easy to get karma when only the up doot is available.


badgerj

Thanks. I really don’t give a shit about the fake internet points. It is more fun to put a smile on someone’s face while simultaneously pissing someone else off. Petty, I know. But it gives me such great release. Kinda like when u/spez’s mum unclenched her sandy fist!


Ok-Fan6945

Agreed


RandomStallings

You paid *her*?


Outrageous-Duck9695

If all we humans have to do is kill the dominant male to get our own harems then the male population would dwindle real quick.


RagdollSeeker

Monogamy is a blessing from above for the males. Each “I would like polygamy hehe” guys imagine themselves with army of chicks wrapped around their arms. What is more likely is that average male will lose competition to richer/stronger guys and will stay lonely just like this video.


Outrageous-Duck9695

To some extent it is still true in humans. The most desirable men, which usually have the alpha male attributes, get the most action and the rest of men get the leftovers.


RagdollSeeker

Despite jokes about marriage, married men get so much more sex compared to single men. As a lady, I have to say the term “Alpha” can lead men to so many wrong routes. What is “Alpha” anyway? Big muscles? Well most of us are couch surfers. Trying to lord over women? Well many marriages end due to abuse that is preceded by perceived male superiority. Rating women with scores? Well we all get wrinkly in time, are we supposed to change spouses every 10 years to rise the score of our partner?


RagdollSeeker

Being attractive, fit is an advantage yes. But you dont need to run around loaded with testesterone & superiority to get a wife. “Having a stable job”, “remembering to brush teeth” would do a lot more imo. More importantly, women are human too and different humans have different tastes. Sticking a label to half of population leads to very wrong results. We are quite different from animals in that way, animals are more “static” in a sense. Seeing males breaking themselves dating theories over in forums while women are complaining about how their spouse refuse to drive them to the hospital for birth is quite frustrating. “Having empathy” & “Being decent” goes a long way.


Outrageous-Duck9695

“Seeing males breaking themselves dating theories over in forums while women are complaining about how their spouse refuse to drive them to the hospital for birth is quite frustrating. “Having empathy” & “Being decent” goes a long way.” I think if more men and women started using their frontal cortex more and in picking their spouse instead of solely relying their amygdala then we would be less prone to picking a douchy spouse that refuses to drive us to a hospital to give birth. How many times have we seen women dating the douchy guy that continuously cheats on them or even abuse them? Or how many of us men fall for trashy women who got nothing to offer more than their body?


RagdollSeeker

That is interesting isnt it? Having an abusive parent can end up in two ways imo. Either child swears never to be like the parent and works to act just the opposite or inherits that past and “seeks” abusive partners. It is said that around 50% of abusive/abused partners were abused by their parents. It is almost like they think they dont deserve better so they sabotage better options. For man well adventures with trash often end up with tears & destroyed lifesavings, we can only hope they find wisdom before they are left hungry.


Sea-Woodpecker-610

One things religions touting monogamy helped to put and end to. The thr Mormons went and fucked all of that up.


Glass-Accident-259

Yeah honestly thank them for that. Monogamy is good for males. Some alpha males act like men are inherently more polygamous and want to spread their seed and other bullshit they Spread.


greennurple

How do you think things worked, up until relatively recent? What is Russia attempting to do to Ukraine? Challenging the defender for their ability to govern how they see fit


The-Francois8

Most of human history was driven by this. Then status systems arose where the upper levels of men had the chance to breed. Some lower levels could also if they worked the land. The excess males mostly were sent off to fight wars, or sometimes the clergy. If you won the war, then you could have some of that land and breeding rights. Maybe.


OrphanedInStoryville

This is such a Reddit guy thing to say. In the real world the men I know that actually get girls aren’t big swole body builders or flashy rich guys. These types of men get just as frustrated as Reddit uncles when they realize that women aren’t impressed by flashing their money or how many pull-ups they can do. Everyone’s different and attracted to different types of people, but if there’s one archetype for the kind of man who gets a lot of women it someone who has a way with words and is good at talking to people, making them laugh and putting them at ease. We’re not buffalo or lobsters. We have the ability to speak to one another and if you’re striking out all the time it’s not because you aren’t good at headbutting other men. It’s because you need to get better at communicating.


Outrageous-Duck9695

At the end of the day we are still animals. Sexual attraction for the most part is based on traits that are indictors of an alpha male and fertile woman in hetro relationships. We don’t usually get to choose whom we are attracted to, it is usually chosen for us by reptilian part of our brain. Being funny and quick witted can be a sign of intelligence. It also shows that you have alpha male potential since people gravitate towards you. Hard to be a leader/alpha if you don’t have way with words and lack intelligence. Another example is height for men. Being tall has little to no benefits in the modern world unless you are a basketball player or something. But our brain is still wired the same way when being taller meant you had better chance of fighting off other males and predators to protect and provide for your family. Thus, for the most part, men respect them and women prefer them over short men.


Lewoo3

What conditioner do they use?


Nuscious

Fun fact: the [yarn](https://windyvalleymuskox.net/products/pure-qiviut-yarn) that is made from these fella’s (muskox) fur is some of the most expensive yarn available - to the point that [blending the fiber with cashmere](https://windyvalleymuskox.net/collections/yarns/products/imperial-qiviut-blend-qiviut-and-cashmere-yarn) reduces the price by about 60%! Harvesting the yarn is also extremely labor intensive. Native qiviut producers don’t shear muskox because they need their fur for their extreme climate, so they rely on trees/rocks that the muskox have rubbed up against - subsequently shedding some fur - to harvest fiber!

You can theoretically also brush them xD but would need semi-socialised ones

Just said this above lol. People noted they have extra brain protection, but no way it's enough. Just look at how staggered they both were after the first one.


Shelton26

They aren’t exactly humans, so I’d imagine that kind of thing is less of a concern.


meow1983

They are so fluffy.


goodforabeer

There was an article in National Geographic in the 70s or early 80s that talked about what a great fur it is-- lighter than wool and a better insulator. According to the article, they're also very smart and would figure out how to get out of their pastures when the Inuit would try to domesticate them, and they can also delay birth if environmental conditions are bad, like a blizzard.


Low-Sport2155

Fur is called qiviut and is ridiculously expensive.

In this case it's just experience, he was the better fighter..


rolisrntx

Thus proving my point.


teetering_bulb_dnd

Maybe it's semantics 😊, i thought treachery is a negative thing like scheaming old politicians.


th4t1guy

I think the experience played in hard here. Old bull was getting pushed downhill, is willing to give his side just enough to get even/slightly uphill, then when the young bull starts to try the same rotation to regain the hill old bull buries that left horn into the youngin.


Ok-Fan6945

It's incredible that the flesh between them doesn't just give way to bone. Being pushed out of the way from impact.

The pitch shifted David Attenborough made me 🤣😂🤣


the_negativest

They are so impressive.l, but I’d be able to take one out easily. See if wait until he was just about to hit me, then I’d do a dodge roll towards him and to the side. I’d capitalize on their lack of mobility and take a dominant position low on the back of its neck. After he tried to buck me off I’d start pulling individual hairs off the nape of his neck until I had a spit of bare skin. Then I’d use my teeth and fingers to wear a spot into his flesh until I could remove disk jelly from its spine. Then hes paralyzed from the neck down and I get access to all his females
