Most amazing military vehicles in the U.S. Army! These interesting trucks and tanks assist soldiers in doing their jobs! Subscribe for more videos: http://bit.ly/2vW6JVo Number 13. MQ-1C Gray Eagle The MQ-1C Gray Eagle from General Atomics Aeronautical Systems is an unmanned aircraft designed for medium-altitude, long-endurance combat missions. It was originally created to compete in the U.S. Army's Unmanned Aerial Vehicle competition in 2002, with General Atomics hoping to win a government contract as a result of their demonstration. They beat out their only competitor in the Northrop Grumman [grum-min (not grew)] Hunter II, and as of 2013 General Atomics have developed more than 75 individual models for the U.S. Army, with 152 more in the works. More than 4.7 billion dollars have been spent on the MQ-1C Gray Eagle project so far, and the U.S. Army has put this investment into great use, deploying Gray Eagles on missions since Afghanistan in 2010. Number 12. Humvees Made popular by the civilian versions that entered mainstream rotation following the first purchase by famous actor-turned-politician Arnold Schwarzenegger in 1992, the HUMVEE has actually served the U.S. Army since 1983. These broad vehicles were initially made to replace the use of jeeps and other lightweight tactical vehicles ranging from a quarter to 1.25 tons. The term Humvee derives from the vehicles full name as the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle, a terminology referencing its role as a "jack-of-all-trades" vehicle capable of handling the tasks of many of its predecessors. Over 281 thousand of these vehicles have been made to date and they continue to be employed on a regular basis. Since 2011, just one of these Humvees with current armor specifications fetches a price tag of 220 thousand dollars. Number 11. MH-6 Little Bird Specializing in observation, patrol insertion and extraction, deep air support and forward air control, the MH-6 Little Bird is a crucial part of the U.S. Army's aerial squadron. The MH-6 was created to replace the OH-6, another light observation helicopter that entered service in 1960. By 1963, the Army was ready to test out modified prototypes, upgrading the engine of the OH-6 for greater speed and maneuverability. This upgraded model, which featured an Allison T63-A-5A engine, caught on and beat out other prototypes, and by 1965 the U.S. Army was ready to order 1,300 individual helicopters. These unarmed choppers, along with their gunship counterpart the AH-6, have been used in most every major militaristic endeavor since their inception. They have since spawned over a dozen different versions, outfitted with all different means of weaponry and tactical equipment. Number 10. CH-47 Chinook [shih-NOOK] The CH-47 Chinook [shih-NOOK], developed first by rotorcraft company Vertol before being acquired by Boeing in 1960, is one of the heaviest lifting helicopters to come out of the Western world. This helicopter named after the Native American tribe of modern day Washington weighs over 24 thousand pounds with no payload and has a maximum takeoff weight of 50 thousand pounds! It can speed through the sky at a top speed of 170 knots, the equivalent of 196 miles per hour, and is among the fastest helicopters in the U.S. Army. Over 1,200 of these aircraft have been built to serve in America as well as the United Kingdom's Royal Air Force at a cost of more than 38 million dollars per unit. Number 9. M-ATV The Oshkosh M-ATV was built to combine the protective capabilities of Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles like the Cougar or Buffalo with the mobility of Humvees. The 27,500-pound vehicle entered production in 2009, and nearly 10 thousand have been built to date at a price tag of 470 thousand dollars each. The M-ATV is meant to carry one driver, three passengers and one gunner, and can haul a maximum payload of 4 thousand pounds. The roof-mounted armament is designed to where it can be operated remotely or manually, depending on the situation. Manual use gives gunners access to arms like the MILAN anti-tank guided missile launcher and M240 machine gun, while the remote option uses a device called CROWS, which stands for Common Remotely Operated Weapons System.

,Amazing uncommon animals! These unusual and strange animals are not your typical horse, monkey, or cat Subscribe for more videos: http://bit.ly/2vW6JVo Though it may have bear in its name, this thick furred critter is actually a tree-dwelling marsupial native to the island of Sulawesi and other forests in Indonesia. The 15-to-20 pound Sulawesi Bear Cuscus can grow to a length of 2 feet on average, and has a tail that will measure close to the same length. These herbivorous mammals live in groups of two to four individuals, keeping adolescents safe in a natural pouch as the vulnerable species slowly scours for leaves and flowers to consume. The Eurasian steppe is vast biome containing shrub and grasslands and stretches from Bulgaria and Eastern Europe across Asia and into Mongolia. Checkered throughout this massive ecosystem is the critically endangered Saiga Antelope. This species of antelope isn't the largest, with a shoulder height of just 24 to 32 inches, a length of 39 to 55 inches, and a weight ranging between 57 and 152 pounds for adults. Still, this hasn't kept local populations from hunting them since prehistoric eras. While initially sought after for consumption due to the lamb-like texture and taste of Saiga meat, their horns have actually driven them to the point of being endangered. A traditional Chinese medicine relies on Saiga Antelope horns as a main ingredient, and poaching of the protected species remains a consistent problem with the horns selling for thousands of dollars each on the black market. The Bat-Eared Fox is split into two subspecies, residing within two separate regions of Africa. The virgatus subspecies makes its home on the Eastern coast of the continent in nations like Ethiopia, Sudan and Tanzania , while the megalotis version can be seen along the Southern tip of Africa in Zambia , Angola , South Africa and elsewhere. These foxes prefer to hunt among short grasslands, filling their diet with ants, beetles, scorpions, crickets and termites, the last of which tends to make up 80 to 90 percent of their diet. However, in desperate situations they have been known to turn to birds, reptiles, smaller mammals, and even truffles for nutrience. Because of their inclinations towards eating termites, they are not majorly threatened by most local human populations due to their role as a form of natural pest control.

Countries With The Most Shark Incidents

,Top countries with the most dangerous shark encounters! These countries have the most shark human incidents in the world Subscribe for more videos: http://bit.ly/2vW6JVo More than 300 islands make up the archipelago of Fiji, a small nation in the South Pacific with a population estimated to be just under 1 million. The majority of these incidents took place near the largest of Fiji's main island, Viti Levu, with encounters happening in the past 2 centuries. The ocean surrounding these islands just eleven hundred nautical miles away from New Zealand are so rife with sharks, in fact, that locals have turned them into an industry! The opportunity to dive with sharks in Fiji is one of the most popular tourist attractions of the nation. The country of Mexico is a popular tourist destination, with dozens of scenic beaches located along Baja California, bordering the Gulf of Mexico, and lining the Pacific Ocean. Around 35 million people visit this nation yearly, often flooding their shores for a relaxing getaway. But such heavy, habitual traffic to beaches can eventually attract the attention of some of the most vicious predators in the ocean. Throughout the 2000s, many surfers and swimmers had risky run-ins with bull sharks, tiger sharks, and even hammerheads. The Caribbean country of the Bahama Islands has had its fair share of sharks. Up until the 1980s, sharks seemed to occur here rarely according to data, however it is possible many more went unreported. At least 36 incidents have been reported from the island nation since 2001 The largest nation in South America is the 3.2 million-square-mile country of Brazil. The city of Recife, located in the northeastern region of Brazil, has been a particularly common sight for these treacherous incidents, with around 56 occurring near its beaches in the past 2 decades. The reason for the high activity in this part of Brazil owes to a deep trench that runs parallel to Recife's beaches as sharks will use it as a migratory route, often rising up to the shallows to hunt.
