2:31 pm
working. >> the moment the problem's solved. >> oh, no! now this giraffe is in the democratic republic of congo. these people need to tranquilize it because it's endangered. you can see in slow motion they hit the target with a tranquilizer gun. you've got all these guys trying to herd this one giraffe, but it's still moving. it's still upright and it's still heavy and very strong. they do want to guide it down. they do want to be nearby when it falls. they don't want it to run into the trees or anywhere. once on the ground one guy has to jump on its neck. you can see the giraffe's neck move and they are incredibly strong. so you've got all these guys laying on it because there's something around this poor giraffe's neck. >> how would anyone spot that? >> is it a snare trap? >> unfortunately it is. they are being hunted for their tails. >> what? how stupid. >> poachers want their tails. you see how tightly that wire is
2:32 pm
around its neck. you have a vet. >> you want to hunt these animals? take a big 400 millimeter lens and nice camera and shoot them all you want. you can still come back with beautiful pictures and mount it on your wall just the same. >> they snap it up and -- >> whoa! >> that neck immediately wraps around it, like a snake coiling to strike. the guy has to move quickly. they have to wrestle it to the ground again. you can see how quickly their neck can move and how flexible they are. luckily, they are able to get that thing off. it's starting to wake up and everybody's gotta run. it gets up. uh-oh, but it looks like somebody forgot something. >> the eye covers, it's still snoozing. >> one guy runs with a very long pole. will he get it? >> are you kidding? >> one try. >> who has the pole, that 25-foot pole. >> methinks he may have done that before. you know, when you come this close, this close to the end,
2:33 pm
your life flashes before your eyes. well the guy in this juken video never got the chance. we're in a snowy rally in michigan. slowing down for this corner. not quite making it. >> whoa! >> yeah. now watch it again. >> has he got a camera up in front of his face? >> well spotted. this guy is a photographer, covering this event. you've run a camera before and know what it's like. you're looking through the viewfind and for some reason separates us from reality. this guy doesn't realize it's about to happen until he's been pretty much hit by the car. >> if you're going to stand on the corner, stand on the inside of the corner. don't stand on the outside. you're waiting to get hit. >> it wasn't a high speed impact. he was badly hurt. he took to his facebook to let everybody know. broke both his shoulders and lacerated his liver. but just to be able to say that i didn't die is a bonus. okay, now we're going to head over to see how the big pros do it. this is the rally of monte
2:34 pm
carlo, world famous. exactly, they have the top flight cars and top flight drivers but they don't have the best conditions, because while the beginning of the video on zero under youtube channel you can see it's clear but then the snowy conditions turn up. >> just turned like that? >> rallies are extremely long and have many stages. as you start going higher in elevation you'll enter different weather environments. everyone is essentially now on an ice rink, and it doesn't matter how you try to attack this corner. that's a nice wall, let's go touch it. >> everybody hits the same exact spot? >> it's catching everybody out. they put together this ten-minute compilation of incredible moments but then all of these spins and fails to show that even the greatest drivers in the world still get caught up by the same things that catch the rest of us. so much planning and effort goes in to gender reveal these
2:35 pm
days. now there are cannons that can help you reveal the gender of your child. in fact, these guys here from nesting perfectly are about to find out what their baby is going to be. now those tubes they're holding are cannons. you twist them, once it clicks it blows powder out of the end. their intention is to dye their shirts in the color, and it will be cute, it will be a nice memento they can save forever and ever. the problem is they try to click the cannon and it's not working. >> woo! >> oh, no! >> so while she's still trying to figure hers out, his goes off right in her face. >> oh, you never look down the end of the loaded anything. >> oh, by the way, it's a boy. >> now another somewhat unfortunate way to find out the gender of your child is this one. >> the balloon has popped. it's a boy, guys. >> oops.
2:36 pm
sorry. >> the balloon they had with the blue confetti inside that was supposed to reveal the gender once they were at their destination with the boyfriend as well. >> oh, it went off prematurely. that happens. >> i feel bad because basically it's a symbolic water breaking in the car and they've got to clean that up. >> mom clearly isn't happy about it. >> she's crying [ bleep ]. finally a challenge that we might be able to get in on. okay, no, no. we don't have enough swag for this. it's called the new freezer challenge. >> shoot, speak for yourself. you got swag. >> you got all the swag. >> you gonna break your neck sis, hold on. well thishallenge is basically swag, because it's set to the song "freezer" by rich the kid featuring kendrick lamar and
2:37 pm
people have super creative. this is employees and customers at waffle house and they're having a good time swagging out. it was shot by michael richard. he posted it to his instagram page and sheila jones came up with the concept. this kid is hot with sticks. >> genuinely i'm starting to think that, yes, even we can do the challenge. >> easy there, tiger. i don't get it. >> well, you just cheer from the sideline. >> stand like nobody watching. >> well they're all watching. it's okay. the family wasn't going to do it like anybody else. ♪ >> you ruined it. we can't do this. >> i tried to tell you. i said they got creative. >> in this case not necessarily like a specific dance move. it's more that everyone's putting their own flavor to this song and showing what creativity could be brought to the table. >> and it's done with confidence, which you and i have, so this -- >> you're going to break
2:38 pm
something. >> i'm waiting for you two to smack your heads together. >> the challenge is whatever you want it to be. just play the song, the challenge is set to the "freezer" play the song, break your neck, break your ankle. >> you do you, boo. >> do you, boo, except you. a paragliding ride gets rough when -- >> you see the wing collapse. >> why the way down is definitely a hard one. >> oh no! >> ahh. and all aboard this fascinating train that has been moth balled. >> why? >> take a trip back in time next. >> something about this is kind of breaking my heart. brought to you by turbo tax. relax, there's turbo tax. they .

2:43 pm
that wing. >> break, break, break, break! >> oh no! >> yeah, they come down hard but you see how it stalled. the wing failed and they do say in this situation it's either pilot skill that's going to get you out or an older wing and some of the older wings make it tricky to recover but the last 20 feet happens like that. >> how hard was the landing on their bodies? >> hard enough but there are no reports of any major injuries so i'm going to assume bumps and bruises. no other details apart from that. this next video is the exact opposite. jamie lee will take us on a speed riding experience down the side of this mountain, lake wanaka in new zealand. he'll try to cut the grass with his rear end. watch just how close he comes. the precision that he has. bear in mind at this moment he's traveling about 75 miles an hour. you might also know in new zealand, sheep are everywhere.

2:45 pm
they parked it and on this day just a couple of urban explorers tried to check it out. not only vandals checked it out but copper thieves have picked through this train. many of the electrical parts that contained copper have already been plucked and picked clean. >> that's interesting. i remember being 11 years old and doing my geography on the euro tunnel. it's interesting to see how we've gotten to the point where it's obsolete. >> the train was originally built in 1994 and abandoned in 2014. there are about 13 cars here including two cafe cars. >> something about this is kind of breaking my heart. i get progress but you know, i can't help but be melancholy about something i was never part of. >> it is kind of strange and what's weird is that it was only abandoned in 2014, but it looks like it's been sitting there for 30 years. >> yes, looks like it's from the cold war. >> it does seem like a total waste. it's kind of sad but there it sits full of graffiti.
