Last year I was sitting in bed and I dropped my phone on the floor so I just reached down to pick it up and right next to it was a big Funnel Web that was rearing up...needless to say I had to change my PJ bottoms after that!
18:40 one of these was crawling around my kitchen and it looked EXACTLY like a funnel web spider. Only difference was it was moving slowly and calmly and my dad said it was easy to catch.
Well I conquered my severe arachnophobia to watch this and got to say I really love the personality of the trapdoor spiders, and glad to know a few things if I'm ever bitten by a funnel web, I've already been bitten five different times in my life by Huntsmen and Whitetails
How have you managed to be bitten that many times 🧐 lol! I'm not afraid of any other spiders... However, the huntsman spider is my worst nightmare. I quite literally put fibreglass tape around my door so the big ones don't come in. I can't even cope with baby huntsmans.
Here in the UK, my wife was bitten by a wolf spider. I myself, was bitten by a wolf spider about ten years later. It left two little fang marks that left an itchy reaction and redness.
I got bit by a fiddle spider and the two fang marks were visible on my foot even years later, especially when I took a warm shower. Can't see them now though.
Funnel Webs are no joke, where I live they aren't considered common yet I've had two in my yard/house (that I know of). One in the back yard that was moved on, another came into the house after a massive storm trying to seek shelter - male as well, aggressive AF (wasn't going to risk someone being bit). No way I was going to try and catch that thing and put it back outside, seemed almost immune to pest spray (took forever to go down).
I am yhe happy owner of a Brachypelma emilia female. She is a bit skittish, but very sweet-natured. She is my 12th spider, and my first tarantula. My wife loves her too.😊
hopefully they grow in numbers enough so that humans can let nature weed out the ones that have specific sicknesses that could decimate them. I know what I said sounded cruel but that's just how nature works. Devils are predominantly necrophage, so them being resistant to all kinds of diseases is a must, currently they aren't. Once the population can sustain it's elf even through natural selection, then it will be stable.
Man that joey's a firecracker "like his mum" LMAO, so cute!!! Everything is going wild, so I'm not surprised everything is out of sync! Welcome to the world little devil in 2021 as we all know it since last year!
I live in England and I would hate to live in Australia. How many bugs you have to deal with hahaha I wouldn’t get any sleep at all every night you would be worrying about getting bit and dying! So glad we don’t have to worry I get loads of sleep it’s so nice.
Tim's top five Spiders; The Woof spider lol, it sounds like Tim says woof spider rather than Wolf spider, makes me smile every time he says it. Seriously though, I love the videos, interesting, informative and presented by someone who clearly is passionate about the wonderful animals he cares for.
I am very much scared of spiders but they are still beautiful creatures. Scary but beautiful. I have seen anything from blue tarantulas to green, yellow, red and purple'ish spiders. They are beautiful but scary.
Ha ha you made my day, spiders are many sizes and very different encounters, but what ever spiders might be, they are innocent, man got to learn there.....
So in one clip they say the baby will be hand reared for 6 more months at the reptile park. In the clip just before they said its be weaned within 2 months if they had not intervened. So which is it?
Indeed I am a huge cat & dog lover but adore Tasmanian Devils, mongooses, rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks & otters. Badgers are kind of cool. Mongooses are so badass & I like the crazy sounds Tasmanian Devils make. I cannot stand spiders & snakes. Again, Lucky is too freaking cute especially when he was feeding. It’s amazing the contrast between the protective mom who was ornery from protective instincts but Lucky the Joey became so docile & chill once acclimated.
I love Tim he's full of knowledge and always educating. The only spiders I worry about are the brown recluse where I live. The black widow not as much as the brown recluse, Ive seen the damage they can do. 🙂❤
Yes. Probably one of the more common species. The largest ones are Lycosidae Tigrosa. We also have fishing spiders which are our largest spider species in Canada behind Antrodiaetus Pacificus , which is the Pacific Trapdoor spider & Sophodros Niger , ( Black Purseweb) they are our versions of the funnel web type species and the latter is what is known as an Atypical Tarantula. And they are Mygalomorph spiders. So they are in the same family as all their more menacing counterparts in Australia and half the size and not medically significant to humans.
Why? Now the mother can bread and have more joeys and the joey can get healthy and go back for breading in a couple years. I don’t see an issue, I get that they took him away from her but it was gonna happen soon anyway.
Forgot the most deadliest: the huntsman spider 😂!!! 😰😰😰 I am not scared of any other spiders. However, when it comes to huntsman spiders, they are my worst nightmare. Definitely have a true phobia of them.
We have wolf spiders in New England US as well. Remember coming across my first one cleaning a campground. Quick way to scare a kid is have them open the bathroom door and it being right in your face.
Tim seriously? You guys didn't have a new episode so uploaded and old episode? Glad I stayed to watch the entire episode. I take back my 1 st comment. I had not seen your 5 favourite aussie spiders. Do I really want want to move there?
It’s so neat to see appreciation for wolf spiders! I find them here in Texas pretty often, and always get pictures. Confident is definitely a good descriptor; I’ve had them climb onto my shoes and legs multiple times, and that’s usually how I find them. It’s always a treat to see the big mamas, too, I just love seeing all the spiderlings. There was also one that I found at my old school. It was so big and still that I picked up thinking it was a stray Halloween decoration someone left on the ground. I will admit I was internally startled when it climbed to the back of my hand, but luckily for it I didn’t jump or throw it on reflex. Thankfully it didn’t bite despite being picked up, so I just carried it outside and released it near some dead leaves in the grass. It’s probably one of the few good memories I have from that school; it was mostly full of kids from rich families who lived in the city or suburbs and couldn’t handle spiders bigger than a penny. It almost felt like I gained a modicum of respect from calmly handling a spider with a leg span the length of the back of my hand without a cup and paper! I just think spiders are neat, I wish they got more appreciation. A lot of their bad reputation is underserved. They’re like the pitbulls of the arthropod world.
That’s heartbreaking taking baby Lucky from his mother, when his mother showed she wanted him back but was powerless to do so. Most heartbreaking things to watch.🥺😞
I once had a wolf spider under my decking and it's jaws was so powerful that it almost took the stick out of my hand while I went and touch it and also tim is correct I see them probably care for their babies .
White tails spiders im more scared of once got bitten and ended up with a hole in my chest after the bite got infected 😂 venom or whatever eats away skin yum
Wish I could be an Aussie like this dude. He has big balls

That's what scares me not knowing if one had got into the house and going to bed. I bet that was a scary experience! Did you catch it ?
Yeah but if you got bitten you could get treated couldn’t you????
Yeah did you catch it 💗
What happened next with the funnel web??
Holy smokes
That is the most adorable battle cry I have ever heard.
OMGGGG that baby devil is soooo adorable!!!!

@@davidstrong8279 no they died 😏

Drown them in poison....Love it...
Flame thrower?
A phone book or a heavy Samsonite can do the job... SLAM. 💥 Bye...👋😊
True Aussie TV. Love it.
i don't do spiders but this segment is it good educational lesson and for my awareness
Know your enemy, lol
I don't know why I'm watching a video with SPIDERS when I'm arachnophobic (to the point that I freak out over a teeny tiny spider).
Me to soooo scared of spiders any king
If a kitten in a bundled towel is a purrito, is a baby Tasmanian devil in a bundle a grrrito?
12:46 - lol, the sound little Tassie made when you put him in the bag. I could literally hear “Hey!” 😂
Kjio
I keep 4 tarantulas and 1 Asian forest scorpion, they’re super interesting to watch grow and eat.
I am yhe happy owner of a Brachypelma emilia female. She is a bit skittish, but very sweet-natured. She is my 12th spider, and my first tarantula. My wife loves her too.😊
Well, fine, my next holiday goes tooooooo: Austria!!!! No bad spiders, just a few mountains- perfect.
Lol 😆🤣
Lol
😂
Deadly spiders everywhere and that guy has an ant crawling on his face and doesn't bat it off 😲
We get wolf spiders in the UK similar markings to the Aussie ones but a bit smaller and lighter colour
The wolf spider remind me of the video of broom hitting a spider and loads of little spiders came out.
Tim, you are so knowledgeable and teach us so much!
Spiders scare me too much
Medium spiders
You can go
Big spiders
No thanks
Small spiders
HOLY HELL
the joey is soooooooooooo cute!
The Wolf spiders allways startled me
Gods I love Tasmanian Devils, I hope that the breeding populations remain safe from that dreadful disease.
hopefully they grow in numbers enough so that humans can let nature weed out the ones that have specific sicknesses that could decimate them.

How he not falling into space upside down like that. Australians built different...
Man that joey's a firecracker "like his mum" LMAO, so cute!!! Everything is going wild, so I'm not surprised everything is out of sync! Welcome to the world little devil in 2021 as we all know it since last year!
They’re so flipping cute.
That Tasmania devil is so cute
that sound he made after tim said let's get a better look at him was adorable!!!
awww bitey baby!!!
top 3 deadists in the US are black widow spider, brown recluse spider, and Hobo spider.
Totally agree with you there. I’ve been bitten by a brown recluse not once but twice in the same week and omg! Talk about a bite I’ll never forget
I'm from the US and hands down the most deadly is my ex wife.
It depends on where you live
Absolutely beautiful video ❤❤❤😇
I made the mistake of watching this spider filled video before bed. Yep regretting that decision. Lights on in my room tonight i think.
😂😂😂
I’ve got to to that reptile park next time I’m in Aussie 🤩 Them spiders 🕷
I live in England and I would hate to live in Australia. How many bugs you have to deal with hahaha I wouldn’t get any sleep at all every night you would be worrying about getting bit and dying! So glad we don’t have to worry I get loads of sleep it’s so nice.

Tim's top five Spiders;

How can Tim look away from these spiders at the camera? 😳🕷. I don’t know how the camera person doesn’t jump because I jumped every time! 🤣
Not the most accurate spider info, but I love his enthusiasm.
I’ve seen the fauna web spider it was shiny deep black and it was very agressive
Sorry but its Funnel!
Yep think I'll stay in England 👍
Ugh spiders! That baby Tasmanian devil is so cute!
Those Devil noises!
The Wolf Spider is not dull - those markings are beautiful.
I'm glad no one held me upside down when I gave birth. 🤣
"Up close & personal with Australia's DEADLIEST spiders" Proceeds to explain how each one is not actually deadly.
I'm forever going to wear tucked in button ups so I too can carry small animals in my "pouch"
This is as close as I want to get to spiders.
🕸🕷Who else JUMPED @ 17:49 !!!??!! I DID !😳 LOL 😂 😩
I am very much scared of spiders but they are still beautiful creatures. Scary but beautiful. I have seen anything from blue tarantulas to green, yellow, red and purple'ish spiders. They are beautiful but scary.
The deadliest thing in Australia is the government.
Ha ha you made my day, spiders are many sizes and very different encounters, but what ever spiders might be, they are innocent, man got to learn there.....
idk man crocs are pretty scary
💖🌷💖🌷💖Really love the channel !
Fun fact:most spiders actually have poison but there fangs aren’t sharp enough to penetrate into our veins
No spider has poison.
No crickets were harmed in this video.
I actually can watch this because I know I don't have to deal with those 8-legged weird things because I live 18 flight hours away😰

Meaning he will be closely fed for 6 months by humans before being let out to get his own food at the preserve.
@@mick5330 so instead of two months with mum he is given 6 months to wean. Why such a big difference?
Spinnakers? So your trapdoor likes sailing huh? 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
i also have australian barking spiders as my pets
Its so cool that he is careing for lucky
The joey Tasmanian Devil was so cute- they should of named him fireball
Agreed
That or snapper!
Jaws maybe. 😅
Or smosh!

What about the Katipo spider of New Zealand it looks just like that
It’s a Lactrodectus, it’s also venomous. All the Theridiidae Lactrodectus species / widow spiders are highly venomous . On every continent.
I got bit by it’s cousin the Black widow and there bites are just very itchy but every on reacts differently
Awesome
Subbed and liked.
This is like looking at the Future.
Tim all your videos and inserts are totally brilliant. Thank you for caring about animals etc. the way you do. Calling from S.A ♥️
Tim, you're bonkers concearning loving the spiders 🥶
Is it possible to find wolf spiders in Canada?

We also have fishing spiders which are our largest spider species in Canada behind Antrodiaetus Pacificus , which is the Pacific Trapdoor spider & Sophodros Niger , ( Black Purseweb) they are our versions of the funnel web type species and the latter is what is known as an Atypical Tarantula.

They should have moved the mother, and Joey somewhere safe.
Why? Now the mother can bread and have more joeys and the joey can get healthy and go back for breading in a couple years. I don’t see an issue, I get that they took him away from her but it was gonna happen soon anyway.
Black Widow spiders: "Am I a joke to you?"
Yes.
3:04 funny when he took off the roof. was wondering how they can lure the thing out for some time in my head without getting bite...
Forgot the most deadliest: the huntsman spider 😂!!! 😰😰😰
I am not scared of any other spiders. However, when it comes to huntsman spiders, they are my worst nightmare. Definitely have a true phobia of them.
Scary but interesting
Terrified of spiders but I love Tim. The looks of Mark Wahlberg and the enthusiasm of The Crocodile Hunter. Love love love it
He looks sweeter/more sympathetic than Mark Wahlberg...

Yep! Tbh I live in Australia but rarely see spiders or snakes! (Apart from the doom spiders (Huntsman and “long leg” spiders)
I got a spider stuck in my nose - yuck 😝 - it bite my lip - lucky i did not react badly
Yucky 😝

We get them in the UK too its like a spider everyone can find ours are bit smaller and a lighter colour than the one in this video
I really want to know why funnel web spider venom is so effective on primates when there aren't any native primates in Australia
Awesome to watch!
How long does it take for the tail to grow back?
Hans! Get the flamethrower :D
That’s heartbreaking taking baby Lucky from his mother, when his mother showed she wanted him back but was powerless to do so. Most heartbreaking things to watch.🥺😞
Well, thay HAD to check him. This is a highly engageret species, so every specimen counts, if they are to HAVE future alive in Australia.
We have Wolf spiders in Central Texas. They are HUGE!!
Here in Florida too
How big is huge?
Aww,. Taz momma looked completly demoralized once she was hanging upside-down from her tail. lol
Watch out for the tornado! 4:00 I know OZ is weird with animals but; wackiest "spider" I've ever seen...:)
