This Hidden Tribe Hunt Jungle Animals With Deadly Precision | Man Hunt S1 E2 | Wonder

I am with the Jahi

tribe

and we are surrounded by danger. The world's oldest blowgun

hunt

ers survived using ancient weapons thanks to their skill and animal cunning. Incredible. I'm Aidan Turner as Zookeeper. I took care of monkeys for ten years, but today in

this

Malaysia. rainforest I'm with the Jahi

tribe

and they are being

hunt

ed here wildlife is food not a zoo exhibit these men's survival depends on the

animals

around them. These hunters understand animal behavior here better than anyone in the world and I want to learn. Of them, masters of stealth and

precision

, the Jahi have developed extremely efficient weapons, their blowguns firing

deadly

darts at 180 km/h almost as fast as a peregrine falcon in flight.

I will be with these men for the next 10 days and I have a lot to learn. He is only 30 years old. Aziz is already the most accurate shooter in town, calm and focused, he has four small children to feed the youngest, who is only three months old, Ruiz, the boss of the small town where I stay. to ensure that the eight families that live there are fed every day at 45 has been hunting for more than 30 years is the best hunter in the village in

this

hunt the monkeys have the advantage high in the treetops at 35 meters above us they can see for 20 kilometers to kill quadri and Aziz needs to be 50 meters from the monkeys, so it is with stealth that they outwit their intelligent prey.

I'm really worried that I'm going to be more of a problem in the hunt than a positive force. It's about stealth It's about silence That's all that whispering It's about hand signals There's no race and chase through the woods So with these size tens I'll have to watch my step This hunt has three phases Find the prey Get closer and then he throws a fatal dart, but the monkeys are not supposed to see, hear or smell us, so we have to stay

hidden

. This is really wearing me out, it's the humidity that's getting to me. I've never been to a Malaysian rainforest before and I'm just not used to it, it's early in the morning so Quadri and Aziz know the monkeys will be feeding.

They hunt in a huge area covering an area larger than London. The pictures took us directly to the correct trees. We have to detect the monkeys first. They detect us, they are intelligent, social and very vocal, they communicate with each other over a kilometer, alert a monkey and the entire troop will take flight. Quadri spots some monkeys, now the hunt has begun. These hunters can detect

animals

that I can't even see because they use their vision every day to find prey their eyesight has become much better than 20/20 Quadra sees that some monkeys have stopped eating it is a sign that they are getting tired we stopped

hidden

from sight we watch and wait we have already traveled five kilometers 32 degrees of heat the men have barely sweated but I am soaked quadri knows the species due to the behavior of the troops the dark leaf monkeys spread out when they search for food and now they are on the move these Monkeys can weigh up to 12 kg but will only produce about half as much lead as a turkey of the same size to feed the 35 people in the village.

Men need to catch at least two. That could be a wake-up call. If we lost the dam. I'm really devastated. Part of me wants the animals to run away, but if we don't bring some meat, the village will only have corn, rice, and tapioca to eat, which is all the tribe had for breakfast, their only other meal of the day. Finally I see one of the monkeys troops within range just 40 meters away to improve their chances of killing Aziz and quadri separating doubles the hunter's chances of success but also doubles the risk of being discovered the darts are tipped with a

deadly

poison once it enters the bloodstream it stops the animal's heart, that can happen in seconds or it can take hours depending on where the dart hits and the size of the prey, they will detect that bread while shooting, hit a monkey, the darts They are silent so the other monkeys don't do it. alarmed quadri shoots and hits another we have been hunting for five hours but we can still return empty handed if the monkeys get scared they will leave before the poison takes effect the monkey does but the second monkey is still inside the tree success nothing brains tail liver is wasted everything is eaten except where the poison dart pierced the skin yet these two monkeys will only provide about eight kg of meat about the same as six chickens and it doesn't really matter what my perception of wildlife is because For the Jahi, wildlife is food, it is their family and the forest provides them with everything.

This place is a very important place today. Without monkey meat, the Jaha's diet would be so calorie deficient that they would not survive forty percent of Ji Hye's. The protein comes from the monkeys, but at least tonight everyone will eat well because Jahi's way is to share. Community is everything. The family receives a portion of Águila that they cook and eat at home. 80% of the Jaha's food is meat or fish protein. The survival of the entire town depends on the hunters. The Jahi live in the northernmost part of the Malay Peninsula, near the border with Thailand, in the forest of the Belem Taman Gulf.

They are one of the 18 indigenous tribes of mainland Malaysia, but as the Western world encroaches on their lands in their traditional way. The way of life is eroding today there are less than 900 Jahi. Their ancestors were the first to live in this ancient forest for thousands of years. They have passed down their hunting traditions and strategies from generation to generation. This forest still gives the Jahi everything they need. shelter food medicine weapons that provides but also kills the ji-hye share this forest with dangerous animals they cannot grow many crops or vegetables as their village would be raided by hungry elephants a tiger took a child from a nearby village is also It is It is dangerous for the Jahi to have farm animals or store fresh meat, so the hunters have to bring food home every day and they only use ancient handmade weapons and all the materials come from the forest, so it's not like you have downloaded by Buy to try to buy some parts to make your blowgun.

Each piece comes out of the environment. The smaller curve and blowgun wouldn't work. These

precision

weapons are meant to be as straight as a gun barrel, but Quadrey and Jakob only use a razor. Blade and his sight Jakub lives in a neighboring town at 45 years old, he is a very experienced hunter and a close friend of Quod Ruiz and today they have joined forces to hunt a giant rodent, but every time these men go out hunting they risk their lives whenever. We're on our way to hunt porcupines, from what I understand, we're going to get the tracks, locate the Burrow, and then smoke them.

I have now had first hand experience with porcupines in the wild and they can turn grown men into running children. Just one porcupine can provide 15 kg of meat rich in fat and calories. An animal can give five times more meat than a small monkey. There are 24 species worldwide. Nowadays we hunt Malay porcupines. They have more than 30,000 sharp quills and weigh up to 30 kg and are aggressive when they feel threatened, they attack nocturnal porcupines, so we are looking for tracks that lead us to their burrows, even in this dense undergrowth, to quadri Jakob and Caillou. It takes only a few minutes to find footprints.

Caillou is in his sixties and has a grandfather - - but he is still an expert tracker I can see the toenails there these footprints mean the porcupines are close but the elephants may be closer last night the cameraman and I were woken up by a male elephant 30 year old who was investigating what was in our tent while we were still inside it was a tense time last year wild elephants killed 500 people now we are really on guard for thousands of years the Jahi have lived with the threat of elephants and They do everything they can to avoid them but even in this vast confrontation in the forest, it still happens that Caillou is keeping watch, but I'm not sure what Quadri is doing.

These on the ground to block the holes, so you put them, you put them like this, yeah, and that will be in front of the hole. so that the animal can only get out of a hole we first have to find the Burrow kayu is looking for the freshest tracks even though the tracks are only four centimeters wide by detecting my new differences in the definition of the tracks left by the Hunters go straight to an active burrow Porcupine burrows are a complex system of tunnels and chambers measuring up to 18 liters long with any number of entrance and exit holes, hunters must block each of the entrance and exit holes.

I'm in a very, very cautious situation. because these things have to be caught very, very hard, this is a formidable creature, right? So the men have now decided that this is libero, these are the two entry and exit points, they check other areas and it seems to be ready for the time. To scare them away, the plan is to fan enough smoke to alarm the animal, but not kill it while it is still inside the Burrow, okay, so the smoke has started down there, they are fanning the smoke towards the Burrow and the smoke will rise upwards. . donkey and then I have strategically placed the sticks so that the animal's head can pass but not its body and that way the OP will be able to spirit without having a feather on his leg or on my legs, consider smoke coming out right now so fast the porcupine I could come out here at any time I really don't want to go near this creature a porcupine feather could pierce my arm many people underestimate the ferocious ability of the porcupines I have seen I have seen them myself in the wild and have seen large predators like leopards and lions try to attack a porcupine and they will attack you, they will, they will back away from both sides.

There is another bat. You see it. Many bats fly out of here. Well, I can see that the men and I are a little nervous once fear kills the porcupine in seconds oh my God, he just came out of there like lightning, this hunt is not over, another one is coming, the sticks hit them I gave the men time to throw the porcupine but I didn't realize it would only be seconds I can hear the porcupine's quills I know it's close but it stopped moving suddenly quadri runs a big risk because in reality one is already dead suffocated by the smoke Oh two porcupines from one borrow and this is at the top of the list have meat villager hello, it's a very very good day of hunting these two porcupines will provide about 30 kilograms of meat this will feed everyone in Yaakov and the cadres of the villagers tonight, but these porcupines don't just provide food these are the best for the nose okay the Jahi wore porcupine quills as jewelry quills a modified hair made of keratin the same substance as our hair and nails similar to the shaft of a pen are hollow tubes but with a very, very sharp tip When did you pierce your nose?

It will be good for my nose. Well, that was exactly it. It's a plan. It was straight out of a very high textbook to chase incredible success, just brilliant. I mean, men go home with a fantastic amount of meat. For the rest of the people, what can be said? The villagers never know what's on the evening's menu. There are no hunting seasons here. Men do not decide what to hunt. They simply enter the forest and read the signs left by their prey, the Jahi. survive because they know very well the animals that share this forest with a new day a new hunt that they are going to fish more than half of the Jahi's diet is fish we head a kilometer downstream from the town but we are not going to catch anything Nets , lines or rods, all we need are these trunks because they contain a deadly poison, rotenone, which is found in at least 68 plants around the world.

It is a natural insecticide used by organic farmers. It inhibits the cells' ability to absorb the oxygen that men are about to release. this poison in the stream as it flows downstream suffocates the fish, they rise to the surface where they are easy to catch, but first we have to extract it. You can see that's where the branch came in on the inside and this is the bark area and that seems to be what they're looking for because that's what the rotenone toxin is most deadly once it gets into the bloodstream, so men They are very careful not to hurt themselves while striking and then squeezing the bark to release the poison. rotenone forms a toxic foam, it is deadly, especially for children, to keep them safe, they are prohibited from leaving the village, the Jahi are fiercely protective of their children, as a father of a young man, firmly.

I understand how you feel, but I live in the UK, here we are. We are surrounded by danger at all times. This is a very different world. Is it poisonous to humans? This current will be deadly for three days. No one will drink this toxic water for several days, but the fish can safely eat. Only small amounts of rotenone enter. their bloodstream through their gills the Jahi used the poison only once a year in eachcurrent this protects the number of fish I think this is going to be easy, I get it, well, oh, good, good food, you have a few of these small fish.

They are an important source of calcium for Jahi, but can I catch one? I didn't think I'd catch fish with my bare hands. They are a little perplexed. It takes half an hour to collect all the fish from this small stream, but this is not the only toxin that the Jahi masters of poison use. They know that eye poetry produces the deadliest SAP of all. Just half a teaspoon could be fatal. This tree is the source of Ji Hye's killing power that they've been using it for Thousands of years ago Roderick told me to cover my eyes because having any of this get into your eye can be very, very dangerous.

I'm surprised he doesn't have any eye protection and won't have any until he gets this tree. Produces aunt. Erin a cardiac glycoside slows and then stops the heart this poison is strong enough to kill a man in minutes the smallest cut or scratch on my hand and I would be dead to work the poison must enter the bloodstream the Jahi have found a way perfect way to inject it, it is a lethal weapon and there is no antidote. The men applied the right amount to kill without overloading the dart because that would affect its flight. Adri, has anyone ever been hit but uh me, but I'm sticking with our Fatah.

People eat more curry yogurt to let me make the caramel. I see these young darts less than a gram and thirty centimeters long. This length gives them greater precision and a better trajectory. With a cart flight for stability, they can travel at over 180 kilometers per hour and fly silently so hunters don't realize they are paving their nests. It's a crucial piece of Jahi's engineering, so little by little they're cutting small pieces of his palm leaf onto a round skewer like this until it's like a needle. Hunters only take ten darts per hunt. I'd need 100 tickets to hurry up.

I would finish 200 in an hour like the oldest blowgun hunters in the world Jahi's skills have been perfected for thousands of years, each hunter perfects them throughout their own life and now it's my turn, this is the blowgun school, there there's the target, okay, yeah, now show me first, Tim. I have never done this before as the quadric effortlessly balances the two meter long tube. We have a lot to learn Quadri has been hunting since he was 12, there is a bigger difference and you really only penetrate a few centimeters, maybe an inch or so, you pass and just leave the flight on the outside, okay, so we go back.

Here now is the time to raise the stakes having a lot of insecurity at this point men can shoot accurately up to 50 meters they could hit a drink can from the other end of an Olympic swimming pool let's see how I measure that distance. I'm going to copy everything you do here, that's awesome, oh boy, here we go, this is going to take. I didn't even make the target, they make rays. Are you breathing from here? Oh, it's definitely technical here. I don't have the technique or the ability for you. I eat soft all day and they still have better lung capacity than me.

That wasn't saying go back to the gym HD but for now it's back to work today all the villagers had to eat were wild tubers and tapioca, so we're going to use a blowgun. hunting from the moment we start this hunt quadri Yacouba Nazis read the forest like a book it's late in the day so the men there will be no prey looking for food in the canopy it's a small squirrel but it's still eaten with 35 people to feed the hunters they have to take advantage of every opportunity this forest offers suddenly quadri stops us the school has frozen their high alert scrolls they can see in a 300 degree arc of wine with exceptionally sharp focus without moving their head they can see in detail what's there below above and to the side once the scroll relaxes it is safe for us to approach nimbly camouflaged and only as big as a man's hand these squirrels are small targets I can barely see them but Aziz is preparing to aim the squirrels have better eyesight, smell and hear like humans, so it's only a matter of time before he sees us.

Aziz shoots. Now the hunt begins again. It was very interesting to see them now working together as each other. Your teamwork pays off. Aziz has a squirrel in his. he looks, but one wrong move and the prey will be gone. Aziz can't let his concentration waver even for a moment. The school does not realize that when meters below the first dark fog dissipates, but it is aiming at a target only 20 centimeters in size, it is not even that big. When my boot hit him, the poison works in seconds on this little animal by the sound of them coming back to the bend, well that's it, there you can see that these mosaics just betrayed, they are just trying to get to know me.

I'm going to try it right now Louie, when in doubt, you're climbing, we have this part of the world, my God, the skill and the strength, it's not easy at all to get food from this forest, it's incredible, that goal is about 40. Meters away away, I would say at least 50 meters, even 150 feet and right in the ribs. This hunt is not over. We need at least three squirrels to feed a family. Always alert. Jakub sees something, as these knocks said, although I can't see. what is still not left behind quad Ruiz also gave me a surprise that he is like the best hunting professional incredible fantastic what I have learned from the Jahi is that the forest is everything for them, the plants, the animals, this is his life.

We are not isolated, we are separated from the Western world. They choose to be here. They need this forest to survive and preserve their culture. It has been a great privilege for me to learn from these incredible hunters.
