You are right but the thing with the most venomous fish is at the spikes on the fish are only venomous which are on top of the fish so if you just grab it from below it can’t do much
Richard is basically a huge uncredited part of our childhoods, especially for nerds like me. Thank you for bringing us these sights. Its really nice to finally see the face behind the camera. Thank you. Truly.
Also important to know that the application of vinegar upon the stung area does NOTHING for the pain of a Box jelly sting. The stinging cells known as nematacysts's even after detaches from the animal itself, can deliver secondary stings as the detached tentacles can continue to fire off. Hence the use of the vinegar, all it does is neutralise the nematacysts rendering them unable to deliver any more stings in order to remove tentacle fragments safely from the stung limb/area.
@@samoak123 It really doesn't do anything, certainly not for the pain. But something in everyday household vinegar neutralizes the stunning cells, to prevent them from both firing off secondary stings & to render them virtually harmless so any tentacles still clinging to flesh can be removed, that's it. Vinegar does nothing for the pain. Ben Cropp a famous Australian marine biologist/photographer has a fascination with Chironex flekeri & tested piss among other known remedies & it did nothing for the pain either. I have heard that piss is supposed to be good for less harmful marine stingers, like blue bottles etc.
Juvenile blue bottles and normal jellyfish, vinegar and urine helps stop the new pulses of pain and can, sometimes, wash it out. The original pain keeps hurting like mad but anything is good when you’re in pain.
Several years ago, I stepped on a stonefish during holidays. It felt as if receiving a massive thunder bolt shock, I have been stabbed by jellyfish many times before and this is uncomparable. The jellyfish are like slow but intense burning sensation, while the stonefish hit me so hard that I couldn't even go out of water. Hopefully I was with a friend and when he heard me yell and he saw me almost drowning because of the pain, he helped me get out of the water. In just a few minutes, I was sweating hard, I had a hot fever and my foot swelled to twice its size. Once we reached the sand of the beach, he brought me to the closest lifeguard. I lost consciousness a bit later, and I woke up the next day in an hospital room. My friend explained me what happened when I was out, and he told me that the lifeguard saved my life. He wasn't sure what happened to me he just knew that I have been hit by smthg in the right foot, stonefish are extremely rare so he thought it was a jellyfish (pretty common here), but he still checked my foot and did all the necessary steps in case it wasn't a jellyfish. He cut a big chunk of flesh on the palm of my foot where I got it because if it really was a stonefish, he wasn't sure if I the needle was still inside or not. After that, he gave me painkillers, different antivenin for the most probable animals that could have poisoned me and brought me to the closest hospital. This was the worse thing I have ever experienced, and since then I always wear plastic shoes when swimming. I also developed a paranoid fear of deep water, even tho I always loved scuba diving, since this happened I never went to far and I always check where I put my feet on the sand when going back. Before the end of my holiday (I spent a whole week at the hospital), I invited the lifeguard that saved me to a pub and we drank until the next morning. After that, we became friend (I learned he was working here for summer but he came from a place next to where I lived) and even until now we are still in contact. He even invited me at his marriage, and I always told him that I had a debt for what he did and as the doctor said if he didn't act so quickly and he didn't took the right decisions, I would have been dead. In fact, giving my age at the time it happened it was already a miracle I could survive this. (sry for the bad English, it's not my native language)
Crazy, I was stung a few times by jellyfish and I’m very sensitive to pain, it was terrible and ended up with welts everywhere I was stung. Can’t imagine how bad that would be.
Fascinating, thank you. About 40 years ago I saw a Blue Ringed Octopus in a rock pool at Cronulla, a coastal suburb just south of Sydney. I thought, "What a cool looking critter, brilliant colors, kinda cute & small." I'm glad something told me not to handle it, otherwise I wouldn't be writing this.
Handling it isn't a guarantee to be bitten but yeah, if you were, you wouldn't be here. One problem is that their bite is so painless that you might not notice, and just suddenly collapse a few minutes later, as the venom paralyzes you. There's no antivenom. Survival is only by treating the symptoms...
I know this is a year old video. But that mangrove pond was absolutely badass! I can't imagine the building and upkeep for that very awesome enclosure!
I love the small memes he places during the video, I especially loved the part where he says the jelly fish team and SpongeBob and Patrick appear jellyfishing lol
Can proudly say i have visited this aquarium a few years ago for a school trip. There is a lot more here that isnt shown. Honestly an amazing place to see
I like their form of security. The gate is locked but should that fail to deter any idiots entering this deadly aquarium. They have allowed natural selection to take its course. Some dude jumps over the fence. Gets tired. Walks over. Sees a glass of water. Goes for a refreshing drink. Gets refreshed and dies. Thanks for visiting the aquarium :D On a real note tho. Mad respect for these people and their work. Its incredible.
This by far is my favorite video from the channel. This guy is a true badass and you can tell he genuinely loves his work and these animals. We need to see more of him and another video of this place! A re-your I’d say haha 🙌🏼
I used to watch 72 dangerous animals: Australia all the time but it was unfortunately removed from Netflix in my country but this video is going over all my favourite animals from that show. Thank you!
6:44 Love how when he said "Everything in this place wants to...kill me" Richard suddenly walked in behind him and he turns his head super fast to look at him.
Hahahahaha before even watching this I was thinking “pretty sure most of these creatures will be Australian” then guy was like “we are here in Queensland Australia” hahaha
I love marine life and watching you makes me so happy to see that I might have a chance to become my dream job a marine biologist and you’re content is amazing
That man touching the Box Jellyfish like it was no Big Deal reminds me of when I took a vacation to mexico. A photographer that we hired to take pictures of us while we Scuba Dived found a jellyfish and moved it around with her camera to take pictures, from the bottom to.
Box jellyfish are not jellyfish. They are part of a whole different class called Cubozoa and are also the only Cnidarians that have the ability to see.
This video is like a perfect case study of why Australians are like the coolest most chill people. Though dude make documentaries seem a bit less cool.
That fella has contributed a lot to science,history, and the animal kingdom. A lifetime of work for the good ….not many people like this fella
why don't many people like this fella? jk... I know I'm corny✌🤙
@@Monk-eee wtf are these emojis 😭
Now this guy deserves respect, he really just casually picked up the most venomous fishes in the world
He's probably been doing that his whole life
You are right but the thing with the most venomous fish is at the spikes on the fish are only venomous which are on top of the fish so if you just grab it from below it can’t do much
But the jellyfish tentacles have venom tho
we aussies are built different
Richard is basically a huge uncredited part of our childhoods, especially for nerds like me.
Thank you for bringing us these sights.
Its really nice to finally see the face behind the camera.
Thank you. Truly.
Bro this guy is literally holding the world's most dangerous and is casually explaining how they can kill in 60 seconds. Man's got nerves of steel 🥶
And u didnt even mention how he literally went under the bell to feed it
@@guest1336 oh ye
He looks a bit like my auntie Barbara
Mad respect for a guy explaining box jellyfish and touching it. That burning passion is beyond venom.
We have to like that man he literally touched a box jellyfish
Him: Everything here wants to kill me!
The sea turtle: 😐
My god the amount of knowledge & impact this man has given to the world must be incredible. Him and his team are unsung heroes of our time.

what about piss?

Glad you’re ok amazing story ✨💪🏾

Mad respect for Richard. He seems like an amazing person to learn from.
I am freaking out that he's just touching it and explaining, not freaking out, nothing... just pure education and respect... omg I can't even
I thought steve irwin was brave for handling all those snakes and crocodiles but i see now that that's just how austrailians are
Fascinating, thank you. About 40 years ago I saw a Blue Ringed Octopus in a rock pool at Cronulla, a coastal suburb just south of Sydney.

Remember one rule, in nature more colorful it is more Danger it is
@@clementong6332 Nup. It just lived there & didn't pay rent. It was its habitat.
Richard is an awesome human... the work he has done and continues to do... amazing. 💜
Friend of mine back in 2010 bought a blue ring octopus from a local shop, he didn’t even know what it was.
I know this is a year old video. But that mangrove pond was absolutely badass! I can't imagine the building and upkeep for that very awesome enclosure!
Him:this is the most venomous animal here
Him:*touches one*
The thumbnail is so hilarious because it's just a gate in water with dangerous animals that can go over the fence.
I love the small memes he places during the video, I especially loved the part where he says the jelly fish team and SpongeBob and Patrick appear jellyfishing lol
That guy, the tour guide, is an absolute legend!!
Can proudly say i have visited this aquarium a few years ago for a school trip. There is a lot more here that isnt shown. Honestly an amazing place to see
Fantastic attitude.
"If he leaps out while I'm gone, just grab him behind the neck. He doesn't hurt much."
- 7:50 So my whole life *I was fooled !?* Those documentaries weren't *even IN THE OCEANS FILMING!!!!!!!!* 😮😮😮🤯🤯🤯
honestly, after hearing Richard talk about the box jellyfish and roughly how the blighter works.. i'm super keen to learn more about them.
“This is the world’s most venomous jellyfish”
Him: *Feeding it with a small fry with his own hands*
Had to be Australia of course... this guy is amazing! He seriously deserves some kind of medal for his contributions.
Australia even the scientists are like brave Bushman crocodile hunters.
“yeah one tentacale can kill an adult”
casually touches it:
Worlds most venomous jellyfish, touches it, worlds most venomous fish, touches it. This man is Fearless!!
“Everything in this place wants to kill me”
[Richard opens the door] 💀 he’s the final boss

This place is amazing! My daughter is a marine biologist in Australia and studies coral and other creatures. I would love to see more videos on these.
I used to watch 72 dangerous animals: Australia all the time but it was unfortunately removed from Netflix in my country but this video is going over all my favourite animals from that show. Thank you!
If scientists bring back dinosaurs, I want Australians to handle them.
"He's gonna eat your GoPro"
*AGGRESSIVELY BITES*
7:08 "Press X to perform Tactical Takedown"
The guide looked like If Steve Irwin got divorced early and binge ate hot dogs while watching discovery channel at home all day
“This is the most venomous fish in the world” proceeds to give it a little touchy
Ok. This TH-camr isn’t annoying. Thank you.
4:56 they did him dirty there 😂
I was here once since someone I know is friends with Jamie, he was very fun to be around and i got even feed a barramundi that just about ate my hand.
I'm getting goosebumps just by watching that jelly fish , and that man is touching it
Richard is the man, my goodness what a legend
I like the guy is just like "THIS JELLYFISH CAN KILL YOU IN 60-90 SECONDS". Then holds it's head and sticks a fish into it too.
All the land animals: Im the Strongest
The Mantis Shrimp: Run them hands
the way he holds the box jellyfish makes me believe that i'm able to do that without any prior experience
I am officially never going near the beach again. This man just touched the body and inside the mouth of a box jellyfish bro
Honestly i’m just impressed for him.
6:44
Love how when he said "Everything in this place wants to...kill me" Richard suddenly walked in behind him and he turns his head super fast to look at him.
He’s like: this is the most dangerous animal in the world.
Casually holds it
dude essentially cuddled the most deadly creature 😂 id have a severe panic attack even being near the tank😂
Richard has the best job EVER!
Hahahahaha before even watching this I was thinking “pretty sure most of these creatures will be Australian” then guy was like “we are here in Queensland Australia” hahaha
i flinched so much whenever the crocodile bit the camera 😆
- 5:34 but, but, but .. he *touched its tenticals!!!* 😮
I love marine life and watching you makes me so happy to see that I might have a chance to become my dream job a marine biologist and you’re content is amazing
This man be touching the most venomous animal in the world without being scared a lot braver than me
Him : This is the most venomous animal in the world
Him : touches it
"when on tv, the person is stinging himself, its not really happening."
meanwhile cuts to brave wilderness in agony
While being Aussie it makes me happy that Australia can actually be recognized
This man is the most metal human in the world. Holding a box jellyfish easily
I find it funny how the most venomous animals are held in the most inconspicuous containers like a water cup.
'The Deadliest Aquarium in the World'
Tell me you're in Australia without telling me you're in Australia.
him: its the most painfull sting
executioner wasp: hold my honey
"most venomous sea creatures"
*Proceeds to touch them*
That’s so scary! He literally TOUCHED it!😮
My man just said this is the deadliest animal on Earth and then proceeded to man handle it as if it were clay lol
“This is the most venomous fish in the world” proceeds to hold it
“Oh that’s a mean snail”😂😂😂😂😂😂
omg when the spider popped up near the beginning i was definitely not ready 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
the uncredited man providing knowledge to the world 🙏
when he touched the box jelly my heart started racing
getting stung by a box jelly is one of my worst fears 😭
"This is the most venomous fish in the world." Proceeds to pick it up like a kitty 😺
@10:45 man solidified him self as a legend! Lmfao 🤣 🤣 🤣
This is easily one of my favorite videos
Love how the thumbnail says ‘these *fish* can KILL’
and he only shows 1 fish
And that fish is relatively shy
This dude should be in front the camera more often, he’s hilarious.
“Everything here wants to kill me” yeah welcome to Australia man
“On an American scale, probably a 9” I loved that😂😂
I like how he just exposes the national geographic and other wild life shows
Me thinking all the documents were filmed in the ocean turns out it’s just a fish tank
Coral: Goes to the venomous aquarium in the world
Sign: Warning Sharks
Me: The what?
That man touching the Box Jellyfish like it was no Big Deal reminds me of when I took a vacation to mexico. A photographer that we hired to take pictures of us while we Scuba Dived found a jellyfish and moved it around with her camera to take pictures, from the bottom to.
My anxiety increas so much when he was holding the box jelly fish and feeding it by hand
What an absolutely badass place! I was always interested in venomous creatures, coming here is on my footlist!
"Everything in this place wants to kill me"
I'm sure the animals are apathetic towards you, unless you annoy them of course.
My anxiety level exploded when he was touching that box jelly.
Box jellyfish are not jellyfish. They are part of a whole different class called Cubozoa and are also the only Cnidarians that have the ability to see.
This was so interesting. I'm going to explore this channel today.
"This is the most venomous fish in the world *holds it with bare hands*"
Bro just started grabbing a box jellyfish
This man legit got a venom army
Best part of the video is the "What?!" guy's framed photo of ALF.
“Why so much such security?”
How easy is jump that gate? Agagagga
This video is like a perfect case study of why Australians are like the coolest most chill people. Though dude make documentaries seem a bit less cool.
Documentary on people doing documentaries POG
Cheers to this guy. I have huge respect for what he does.
guy: Everything here wants to kill me.
me: So... you're in Australia...
guy: Where here in Queensland, Australia...
me: nailed it.
When the guy grabbed the food I thought it was the stinger and I was panicking like “oh sh!t…..”
