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.
Our support does not stop here, however. Our new Save the Horns T-Shirt and Centipede Living Nightmare Hoodie now available on www.shopbravewilderness.com/
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!

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.
Bugs and Biology a great channel to watch just dropped a video calling out Peterson for the condition of the Centipede in this video so I had to check it out for myself I highly recommend checking out the video yourself
@@jugnug3328 Yeah, I've actually been watching him for a while. He definitely makes great pede content. I'll have to check the new video out
Thanks Steve Irwin and may you rest in piece
What kind of centipedes live in Hawaii? Hopefully not the super venomous ones
Thanks for the comment and insight, hopefully Coyote sees this.
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
He looked terrified at the beginning too lmao 😭
@@MANG00J I swear you could see him start to sweat almost immediately when he understood he was gonna be asked if he wanted to hold it! I respect him for pushing through that concern!
Reminds me of unplanned free solo when Magnus Midtbё visited Alex Honnold. Or when Snoop Dog passed Fluffy a joint.
I laughed when he pushed the container away after Coyote placed the centipede back in.

That white legs looks like it's literally on its last leg. poor thing clearly has not been getting proper care. I have NEVER seen a healthy pede move that sluggish with such little mobility in the antennae.
Agree. Looks either dehydrated or sedated.
@@cxaxukluth5432 It looks brain dead with an awful mycosis infection :(
Could also be you know old. Centipedes lifespan is approximately a year. And finding an ambassador which is very tame and docile means that they probably pushing that close as they want to get the most out of it as finding another docile centipede probably isn't a very easy task.
@beni5149 large centipedes can and usually do live up to 7 years. This poor creature is also obviously suffering from mycosis, which is acquired through a consistent falier in husbandry. There's a chance that this was wild caught and at the end of its life, but even then, this isn't an ambassador. This is a dying centipede that has been in someone's care. Someone who is giving it improper care.
It could just be very old, which is supported by its size.
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.
Yeah, or you just remove the venom of the insects beforehand.

"what that was a completely unrelated question"
Coyote please, never ever ever ever EVER Ever ask ask ragatha for a centipede bite with you.

“DONT YOU LET IT GET TO MY NECK” 💀💀💀😂😂😂
This man's been bitten by so many things that he's become a walking antidote. No one survives all those different venoms without next-level poison resistance.
Actually, venom and poison are different categories, not the same thing. He wasn't being poisoned he was being injected with venom see you can drink venom but not poison
Coyotes never be bitten or stung by anything that could actually kill you.
@@JodeSpoderman People drink poison too. People have been doing so for thousands of years. Henbane, datura, foxglove, fly agaric, belladonna, chelidonium majus, hemlock, monkshood etc... the list goes on.
He ain’t a superhero. He just have been lucky. Nature doesn’t give a twig.
@@kelsey2333a Gila monster is now known to have actually killed a person
Coyote took that bite way better than the Desert Centipede bite
Its because he was debunked for overeacting by another similar channels. Hes toning down his reactions to not look like complete moron.
@ developed more pain tolerance
@what Chanel
@biggest shi i have seen
@everyone has a different pain tolerance and i can guarantee he handles these bites better than most. most people probably wouldnt be able to talk through pain like that. that ‘debunking’ is just weird. how can you debunk a pain reaction??
I like the doctor being there helps add a new complex to the symptoms you are feeling
I actually learned a lot watching this! Not just about centipedes but also medical issues

Coyote Peterson is a legend, much love to whole Brave Wilderness crew. Amazing work throughout the years, I have been watching for so many years.

HELLL YEAH HELL YEAH
Here from Bugs And Biology - he basically killed a centipede
A big no. This centipede is almost dead and there are so many misinformations. This is just sad
The first one is actually the second largest species ( _S. sp., "Peruvian white leg"_ ), after the true Amazonian giant centipede ( _S. gigantea_ ). There are two species which have caused human casualties, _S. gigantea_ & _S. dehaani_ (Vietnamese giant). The second one (the "cherry red") is actually considered a morph of _S. dehaani_ . I've been pinched by _S. dehaani_ several times for carelessness while working with them. I believe their venom is more cytotoxic than neurotoxic due to the intense localised pain & swelling of tissue. Besides potency, quantities of venom contribute to the potential damage, and that's what makes those New World giants dangerous with the gigantic sizes.
fascinating!! have you read any good papers on the subject or written any yourself? venom and stuff fascinates me, but there aren't really any undergrad courses on it in my uni.
100% correct but just adding a detail reg. the largest sizes. S. subspinipes (originating from Southeast Asia) usually averages at around 20 cm but some far larger individuals have been found, with one even being the current record holder with a massive 36.6 cm in length in Hawaii.There has not been found a larger individual even among the S. gigantea
@royalrovers actually scolopendra sp. white legs is the largest species, they get larger than gigantea. i believe the record right now for white legs is somewhere around 40cm not including the terminal legs and antenna.
@@danielballard3364Any sources for that Hawaiian one? The only one I could find was extremely suspicious, with the supposed centipede not resembling any species that occurs in Hawaii.
The fact that the Doctor decided to handle that centipede knowing it could’ve bit him shows how brave he is.
That's one sick and unhealthy "white leg". It's practically rotting away. Quite clearly kept very badly, in totally wrong conditions. I'd be surprised if it's still alive.
The first or the second centipede? And are white legs a sign of bad health for centipedes? If you mean the first one, is white leg also the reason why it's moving so slow?
How can you tell just wondering?
@@Reptileowner The black spots you see all over it is a fungal disease called mycosis, common in centipedes that are kept in too humid of an environment without proper ventilation. The way it is acting and the lack of movement from its antennae and maxillae leads me to think the nerve cluster in the head that acts as the "brain" of the centipede is dead (either from the mycosis or dehydration), and the body is simply moving on autopilot. If you look at the teaser video they released from 2 months ago, you can tell the centipede was in better health back then (though it appears it still had mild mycosis even then).
@@buggo_boi that is sad is is terrible to see animals treated bad
@@qwertuiop3005 @buggoboi answers perfectly. 👍
Would love to see more collabs like this! Having Doc there really helps with perspective of fear and context of symptoms. 🙌🏻
4:43 Why was this weirdly adorable coming from one of these things? Just imagine the centipede had baby Dorys voice shaking it’s head yes looking up a Coyote confirming it’s comfortable being held 🥹😂
Any animal that pose no harm to humans can be cute. Friendly wolves, snakes, sharks are super adorable. And for this case some centipedes can be kept as pets
@@lukaschen3009 Definitely! No doubt about that, although if you put that way it goes for all animals, the ones that do pose harm to humans can be cute too depending on who you ask. As long as you observe them from a distance, or know what you’re doing, stay safe, and respect their boundaries. Centipedes are one of the nopes for me thought this was hilarious. Solid pfp like exactly lol
Fantastic episode and great insight from Dr ER
That was absolutely awesome how you surprised doc with that first centipede and then the look on his face when you actually put it on him was priceless lmao! Just that scene alone should be made into a KZhead short clip.
Peruvian giant white-leg centipede is not Scolopendra gigantea, it's a separate undescribed species nicknamed "white leg", generally referred to as Scolopendra sp. "white leg". And you can see that whoever owns this centipede didn't know that, cause you can see the centipede has mycosis (Scolopendra sp. "white leg" needs to be kept more dry than S. gigantea), it's so bad that the centipede can barely walk and its antennae are so rotted that it can't move them at all. I don't think they can sense fear, they just sense that the ground under them is shaking, which would probably make them more nervous. The most venomous centipede species (at least one that we know of) is probably "Riau Giant"/"Malaysian Tiger", it's an undescribed species and according someone who's been stung by both this one and Scolopendra dehaani (the one in the video, I actually have one of those at home, just a different color morph) it's been the most painful Allergic reactions to centipede venom are pretty rare, they happen more common with hymenoptera (bees, wasps and ants) stings, scorpion stings, sometimes snake bites, etc. Another thing: pain meds appear to not have much effect when it comes to some centipede stings (similar thing appears to be true with viper bites, you could get a shot of morphine and the pain will drop from 8/10 to maybe like 7/10), from what I've gathered local anesthesia seems to be more effective (also a warm compress might help a bit) They also showed very little of the actual reaction, from 'bite' reports I've read on this species the pain will only keep going up for like an hour or 2, then stay like that for a couple more hours before it starts to drop. The shot he was given certainly helped him get through the worst part. Correction: That centipede is already basically dead, its centralized brain appears to not be functioning and it's basically running on auto-pilot.
The poor White Legs clearly suffered massive mistreatment. I hope Coyote does his due-diligence and clarifies this. That centipede is very much NOT 'fine'.
@@HotAppleKai The whole show is terribly managed, they all clearly care more about views than the animals they're presenting. It's full of factual mistakes and it's not the first time animals were mistreated. The fact that no one noticed that something was wrong with the centipede indicates that no one there actually seems to care about animals or education, it took Coyote 6 years to learn that centipede's forcipules aren't its mandibles.
@@BtmQuark I agree with you. It's just so sad to see.
I laugh so hard seeing you fairy's cry
@@yaboycapone1996 So pointing out that no one there (maybe except for the doctor) has any clue what they're doing is "crying" and that the show supposedly about animals is so poorly managed that they couldn't keep an animal alive for more than few months is "crying"
The number of guts this man has for him to do things is mad respect.
This was awesome i watch both of you regularly! What a great cross over
Such a good livestream to watch live.
And the streak continues!!!!!!!!!!! also I feel like all the journeys that he has been going throw he 100% has so much experience. And I've learned so much and, it inspires me to look at bugs and critters that i come across to absolutely amazing.
Bro did not agree to the centipede going up his neck 😂😂🤣💀
Thanks Coyote, it’s so good to see you in the “bite zone” again!😊😊
this guy is still doing this sort of stuff :D amazing that he keeps on going
I've never commented on a video before but these videos are absolutely amazing! Keep fueling the younger generation with informative content 🔥
Coyote has definitely been reading the comments on all the last videos and decided to be as brave and manly as he could with this bite!
Well, with all those other nature/animal/bite channels out there, hardly breaking a sweat after the Bullet Ant, all the crazy Wasps and all, he for sure had to change his game. Still not sure about the Desert Centipede Bite, if it really was so painful, i mean, i guess different people react differently, perhaps different ants pack a different amount of venom, younger ants, who knows, but i gotta say, i was rather amused when i saw these young guys getting bitten and having a laugh about Coyote P.
@@lowandodor1150 The Bullet ants you mean the young guys having a laugh about Coyote? Where was this, I am curious. Also those cultures that do the bullet ant things are probably just used to it by now since they grow up with them and probably have many bites over their lives.
@@piratefilmco No, not the young boys doing the coming of age ritual with the gloves. I am talking about other youtubers with wildlife channels from the U.S.
I'm always suddenly hyper-aware of every random tingle or body hair tickle as I'm watching these types of videos.
I love you both. Thanks for raising to save my spirit animals.
The pure face expressions on Dr. ER was the best part of the entire video
The hell with coyote, that doc has nerves of steel in saying yes.
This was awesome. Thx, guys!
Amazing video brother ❤❤
Love from India 🇮🇳❤️ Be brave , Stay wild !!💪💪
Centepete biting is one of the most hurtful bite out there, my brother was also bites by Centepete on his leg and he said,'' it is like putting the burning charcoal on your leg''.
Worse, I’d bet, being someone who has had a massive burning charcoal jump onto my leg for an extended period of time. I’d prefer that even to a bite from this centipede..
Centepete ❤
lol it’s the fact I had one of these crawling on my head is crazy I really dodged a bullet 😭
I swear this channel never disappoints. Props to Doc.
This is fantastic and great job...love ur chanel .
Well, now you have a living hole puncher for your office! Glad you're okay, Coyote, and I'm glad your fundraiser did well! I have no doubt the rhinos thank you! Great job!
Man U downloaded yt 2006 it was made 2005
great video and I'm so happy that I was able to see the bite live.
Having Doc on here was a great idea, so informative and interesting.
Thank you for making videos I know it's painful but thank you for making these videos
Just watching these creatures already giving me chills...and you got bitten by one of those.. Mad respect for you Coyote 🗿
The live stream for this was crazy, glad I caught it!
Keep saving the rhinos, I wonder how much money has been donated so far? I wish that I could donate. This was so amazing! Everything that you and the crew does is amazing.
Dr is talking us through the toxin process and reactions, meanwhile Coyote's slow dying on the table.

I haven't checked out the channel in a good while, but I just wanted to say that I'm glad you and your team are doing well.
Best collab! Love Doctor ER!!
crazy how the bite wound just looks like a tiny papercut but its vemon effects are devasting to coyotes arm movement ability when its working
A collaboration I never knew I needed to see until now
Best Brave Wilderness video in KZhead history! Plus, Dr. Jordan (Doctor ER) did a great job treating Coyote with medical supplies.
Coyote: "DOC WOW THAT HURTS, THE PULL HURTS!" Doc: "Yeah yeah I apologize" Coyote: "Wow, do it again, do it again!"
Doctor Wagner and Coyote? This is a very unexpected suprise!

Great episode and it was awesome to get to watch this live. I’m thrilled that BW is doing so much to help protect these rhinos. SAVE THE HORNS!!
I have waited weeks for this episode and it was worth it.
Wow! That centipede bite is crazy! Not as painful,but more pervasive! Also,what a fun crossover!😊
Aye nice DoctorER, love this collab.
Thank you so much for working with rhino's :D
That centipede doesn't look like it's doing well 😢
It's definitely brain dead and riddled with mycosis. I think it is likely to die soon, unfortunately.
Why?
It’s moving quite sluggish and slow, but it may be old considering centipedes have very small lifespans
there no way in HELL I’d have done what dr ER did 🤣
Brilliant!❤️❤️❤️
This video is giving me flashbacks to the giant desert centipede man. It doesn't seem like this bite is as severe as the giant desert centipede, massive props to Coyote for taking that bite like a champ!
They gave each other a fist bump, handshake and a high five. That’s when you know you made a true friend. Incredible video, thanks for all the memories and enjoyment you guys gave me. I’ve been watching you guys since the Stone Age and I still watching you guys now, absolutely amazing! 😁
My favorite Nature KZheadr and my favorite Medical KZheadr in one video!? HELL YEAH!
i was sad i couldnt watch the live stream since it was members only but this is still an amazing edit of the livestream to spread awareness of this, be brave and stay wild buddy
These insects ain't gon kill him but them medical bills sure will
Hardest job ever! Salute man🫡💪
My heartrate was going higher than Coyote's right before he was about to get bit. What a legend.
I had a feeling it looked very sickly too. I kind of felt bad for it.
For all these bites... all these stings... all this pain... he chooses to get bit by the king of creepy crawly nightmares and donate all the proceeds to 25 rhinos? Coyote, you are an inspiration and a true legend. C'mon everybody. Let's raise $100K. I know we can do it. Coyote and the rhinos deserve that and more!
no
this made me anxious but it was really interesting to watch how coyote goes through the pain while trying to comment 💯
Wow 1 of the most insane videos ever on the channel but absolutely loved this video & should totally b on a viral streak .
Only people who own centipedes know that the pedes in this video are misidentified and are in poor health.
Poor thing is basically dead :(
Wait really? That's sad
Care to elaborate
@@PuddingXXL The black spots you see all over it is a fungal growth that is a disease centipedes can get called mycosis. If left untreated for too long, the centipedes will eventually die. In this video, you can look closely at the head of the centipede and notice that the antennae and maxillae (mouthparts) don't move much, this is because the nerve cluster in the head (bug "brain") is dead and likely succumbed to the mycosis infection or dehydration. The rest of the body still moves because the other nerve clusters are still alive and active, but the body is likely moving on autopilot at this point, and without the head alive to eat things, the centipede will die.
@@buggo_boi Thanks for the elaboration. Interesting on multiple levels
Cool! Get well soon Coyote! Love from India ❤ 🇮🇳! Be brave! Stay wild! We’ll see you on the next adventure!
