I've never been attacked by magpies. Although I've been with people who get swooped every time we walk down the street. I guess they just don't like some people.
f@@king magpies, killed heaps spidersm mostly redbacks, a hundred? more ... had to kill a dugite last week (first snake I have had to kill after around 30 different encounters with them) , but the maggies can be vicious bastards, the sound of their wings if you have been "swooped" before makes your break out in a sweat and your heart race hahaa
The classification of Box Jellyfish also includes Irukandji. Most of the jellies in the vid looked like Irukandji as they have 4 individual tentacles. The box jellies most people think of have 4 separate clusters of tentacles.
Yes indeed, I was a lifesaver at Cairns and I remember trying to net the box jellyfish, on the other hand, the irukandji jellyfish is so small you can’t net it and it doesn’t beach itself but it is up there with the box if not more in potency. I had to help a young boy who got stung and he quickly started having breathing difficulties, an ambulance had to meet them on the way to hospital.
When I was about 6 or 7 years old I was bitten by a Redback, it was very painful. But the worst thing about it was I didn't become Spiderman, I was very disappointed about that.
And, as the name suggests (Sydney Funnelweb Spider), it is native to the Greater Sydney area and nowhere else. We don't get them down here in Victoria.
@@seannorgren5752 Atrax robustus is pretty much confined to the Sydney Basin, and although it's the most dangerous, it's just one of six species considered dangerous to humans. Funnel-webs are found in Victoria in the Northern Alps (although they are rarely encountered). Their range is mostly down the East Coast, but they are present in every state except WA, and NT.
Drop bears, sure. OR 'contours' for that matter. 'Contours' like to run around hills all over this country and are a huge covert danger to those unaware of their location, killing those unwary of their dangers...Contours are a huge killer of overseas tourists and migrants not familiar with such deadly, hidden opportunistic killers... It seems to me you hear almost every night on the news that a Japanese or Chinese tourist is ambushed by some killer 'contour' and once attacked they inevitably end up falling to their death nearby!!! It's true...ALMOST everyday!
Lol mate I’m actually impressed by your casual Australian knowledge! I find people have such a small and mostly inaccurate amount of knowledge about Australia but your killing it.
Fun fact with the inland taipan snake, There’s no accurate death record in Australia, the areas they are found are that remote that victims never make it to help. There’s also the coastal taipan snake as well!
The funny thing is, as a resident of Melbourne, Mel-born (like Jason Bourne) is actually the correct way to say it, though most of the time people not too fussed.
Not a bad list, but having the red back higher in the list than the funnel web is crazy. Funnel web is aggressive as hell and is the most venomous spider in the world. Red back probably won’t kill unless your very young or very old. But yeah everything else is pretty spot on lol
When I've done the first aid course, they say that if you're bitten by a funnel web or a mouse spider, then straight off to hospital. A Redback spider bite should be treated with cold and the person monitored for other symptoms if they arise.
I'm wondering maybe the redback is higher on the list because it is found literally everywhere... all parts of the country, and regularly in your house... in your bathroom, in your shoes, in your gloves, in your car...
If you don’t want redbacks then you should encourage daddy long legs...they eat little redbacks. I haven’t killed a daddy long legs since I found out about this.
@@brendo9672 I have been bitten by a whitetail spider now that was a scary experience thankfully I kept my body parts and I also walked into 4 brown snakes having an orgy haha they where pissed
Come on son, man up!! I see that rifle you got in your videos. You take that into the woods because you know you might come into contact with a brown bear. So don't give that I'm scared of spiders crap. Come to Australia. Once you see the hot sun, blue skies, miles and miles of beaches, feed a kangaroo and hug a koala you'll forget about spiders. Heck, you might even want live here
There's actually two types of Taipan in Australia, The Inland and the Coastal. The Inland Taipan is known for being somewhat shy but of course having the most powerful venom in the world. That said, the coastal Taipan while not having venom as powerful as its inland cousin, is relatively aggressive.
Official records say no one has died from an inland Taipan, but plenty have died from coastal ones. On the Gold Coast 10/20 yrs ago, a man went looking for a cricket ball in long grass and was bitten, he panicked and his mates could not calm him down, he died before the ambulance could get him to Hospital. Several years later a young man was also bitten, he walked several steps away, sat down, calmly phoned his mum, she and the ambulance applied a tourniquet, he stayed calm and did not move, the medivac chopper got him to hospital and they antivenom saved his life.
I’m an Australian, I’ve never seen most of them in person before. But you just need to be aware of your surroundings and nothing will happen. As the video said these creatures don’t want to bother you so don’t bother them.👍🏻
I am an Aussie and I have never even seen a drop bear in my life apart from in zoos so they are basically the least of my worries. Ps are you an Australian sitania?
Vinegar is the 'old school' method for dealing with Box Jellyfish. Ice is used these days but in terms of pain it's excrutiating - take it from me. Your genuine curiosity regarding Australia is refreshing. Good stuff mate
I would like to know how many Aussies have died from a Heart Attack due to a Huntsman spider!!! Those bastards just 'appear' especially on your car sun visor lol
Had them in my car twice. They're usually nocturnal so 1. I was driving home and saw it trundling across the top of the dash - so far, so good as they don't bother me that much. Driver's A-pillar, up it goes; ok........ It gets to the top and decides to head for the middle of the car over the top of my head....No, Just No. I stopped at the nearby garage, borrowed a dustpan and broom and tossed the spider into nearby shrubs. 2. Dark night, lots of tight curves; turn left, tickling on right knuckles. Turn right, tickling on left knuckles. A flash of light and I realise a huntsman really wants to on the top of the steering wheel so every time I took a turn it would walk back other way over my hand.
17:20 I'm Australian and have lived in most environments in Australia except the Snowy Mountains area. Too bloody cold for me. As a result, I am acutely aware of what can kill us over here. An interesting thing about the Blue Ringed Octopus venom is that, if you and a team can perform CPR on the patient; they will be conscious, but paralyzed, for around (if memory serves correct) about 4 hours, the venom may wear off to the point that they can breathe for themselves again. But the treatment is far more complex than just breathing for them. A strict compression bandage application and relief procedure must occur over those hours to minimise the risk of tissue and limb damage. Those little octopus are deadly, but survivable.
Yeah BUT there is record of such an octopus deliberatly attacking a human. In every case it was the human who removed them from their environment and go bit doing so.
@@burniezarsoff4118 vinegar on fish a chips ew wtf mate only 3 things allowed the that meal .tomato sauce .barbecue sauce . lemon who puts vinegar on chips
@@Burger19985 Tbh I think it's slowly dying out but 50 years ago form what I hear it was the predominant condiment for fish and chips, along with tartare sauce. You can still get it at most fish and chip shops but they usually don't do it by default and not many young people get it. Like I'm the only one out of my friends that gets it. I can support anything but tomato sauce on chips which is gross imo. Bbq and gravy are definitely acceptable.
I saw a documentary featuring the Irukandji and a pair of scientist studying them got stung so they're in hospital they've had their maximum daily does of morphine which has barely taken the edge off the pain and the females scientist in the classic aussie manner said "what fuckwit decide to study the Irukandji!"
I'm glad I checked the comments to see if someone else had mentioned this... The twit who put this top ten list together clearly doesn't know how to research worth a shit.
While worse is a matter of opinion, I personally believe that the Box Jellyfish is more dangerous. The venom of a Box Jellyfish kills far more quickly, and although an Irukandji’s is one of the most painful things imaginable, lasting up to 12 hours and causing pain that has caused some to beg to be killed, The mere fact that you can survive 12 hours is a reason why I believe that the Box Jellyfish are worse.
@@finnalsop7111 To be fair most boxjelly fish deaths are caused by drowning due the intense pain of multiple stings. neither box's or Irukandji’s will kill unless you receive a very large number of stings or already are compromised in some way but I think that Irukandji are worse as their size makes them almost impossible to see and the nets used to keep Box jellyfish away don't work on them due to their size
My great uncle & aunt: Ross & Valory Taylor pioneered box jellyfish venom/antivenom trials. Ross, on a few occasions, would tape a tentacle to his arm, just to see the effects!
Its the occasional huntsmen spider nearing the size of a face hugger, capable of 0 to 60 in half a second, that love to hang around toilets and ensure you empty your bowels mere feet from the bowl while suffering a mini heart attack after lifting the lid and come face to face with the hairy bugger that are the true c*nting spider of australia.
I had a red back and white tail invasion in my house about 1 and a half months ago (copped a few whitetail bites). Bought some daddy long legs back 1 week later I was bad spider free
In north Queensland, on the beaches, they have signs up warning about box jellyfish, which have boxes (almost like break glass in case of emergency kind of things) containing bottles of vinegar to help alleviate the sting until you can get proper treatment
I've seen red backs in my kitchen and casually mentioned it my house mates as a warning. when we had the exterminator over a few days later he said "expect to see red backs dropping on the floor over the next few days" like it was nothing, both a blessing and a curse as to how nonchalant we are as a people
Actually, in my youth, I had job as exterminator, had crawl under houses and into roof attics both usually full of spiders and spider webs. Never ever had an issue with any of them.
My experience in south east Queensland with spiders, roughly once a year i'll see a huntsman, the rest of the time, daddy-longlegs. Also, fun fact, daddy-longlegs have the most toxic venom in the world, but due to the size of their fangs they're unable to bite people.
Fun fact, where I used to live there was a creek full of eastern brown snakes and red belly black snakes and I used to play there with my friend barefoot. We used to get the snakes on our driveways a few times
I lived in Sydney where the Funnel-web Spider holes were 6" apart, I never saw one come inside, the house, nor found one in my shoe, but I did nearly tread on an 8' King Brown Snake curled up on the top step when I went to walk out the door...
As an Aussie when you do first aid courses they teach you how to do first aid for different things like the funnel web, redback, and brown snakes so its ingrained in after a while. FYI you are way more likely to see a redback spider then you are to see a funnel web.
There’s 3 types of Taipans. The one he talks about is the Inland Taipan which is the most venomous snake in the world but they’re shy and are only found in super remote areas. The second type is the Coastal Taipan and is aggressive and you’ll find them Top of WA, NT and QLD. The third type was only recently discovered and is the Western Desert Taipan.
now that the footy season is coming to a close we need to get some more Aussie culture into before the cricket starts for a start you could start by listening to some Cold Chisel When The War is Over from Ringside The Angels Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again AC/DC Let There Be Rock and Tim Minchin Prejudice
First let me say great channel , you said he did not pronounce Melbourne properly he also did not pronounce Taipan snake properly either, I live in Tasmania we also have one of the most poisonous ants in the world which is called the Jack Jumper which gives a very painful sting.
Hey, we have those up in northern NSW too! I came down from QLD & had never seen them before, so I went bush-bashing on foot around my uncle's place on the side of Mt Warning & ran into a nest accidentally. I remember being in so much pain......oh it burned! But I was fine after the venom wore off & my 9yr-old self learnt a very important lesson that day: Always wear shoes when bush-bashing in unknown territory & don't touch the pretty black & gold ants! XD
No thats a myth. Ive done a snake course and more then one professional snake handler called bull on that. More likely than not, the bite wouldnt have venom and if it has then its no way near the amount an adult has
Yeah I’ve heard that the baby ones are more deadly as they get a bit excited when they bite and just realise all their venom in the one hit, whereas the adults have a bit more constraint. Fucked if I know if it’s true or not
The hi light of your trip here would be driving down the road at night and a huntsman spider the size of your hand runs across the inside of your windscreen , and if you don't get it out you sit in fear of your life lol driving , waiting for it to re emerge on your arm or somewhere else later down the road .
Truth, happened to me while driving. Everyone in my car bailed at the first instance I stopped...including me...doors akimbo, engine running, middle of the road...
Just remember that blue ring octopus only have the rings when they feel threatened, and their initial bite is completely painless but will kill you faster then suffocation
I live in a major city and encounters have so far included a couple of Funnel Webs, tons of Redbacks, the odd snake and a couple of Blue ring Octopi. Fun story for you though - I have family in a country town in the north of Australia. There is a river that runs through the town. The river has crocs in it. It also floods the town occasionally. Guess where the crocs end up when it does!
The only reason the Crocs haven’t killed more people is because we know they are everywhere...fact is if you go swimming in just about any body of water in the Top End you will be EBC (eaten by croc) 😁 As far as snakes go those eastern brown snakes rate way, way higher in my book as well...they are big and scary aggressive!!!
With your theory that the taipan is inland, it is but... we have a thing called a coastal taipan too. Also the only reason those death counts are so low are because we Aussies are insanely aware of how deadly these animals can be, take precautions and know what to do to treat it. As a country with 9 of the 10 most venomous snakes in the world we have to be.
Came inside thought there was a leaf on my jacket shoulder but no it was a huntsman. Finally got the bigger outside and rather then escaping into the garden it pranced about like it was Mick Jagger. Nonvenomous but hairy scary and packed with attitude.
@@harrybetteridge7532 " pranced about like it was Mick Jagger" bloody hilarious! (huntsman spiders ARE venomous but their fangs can't penetrate deep enough to hurt humans, as I understand.) GOOGLE SAYS> Despite their often large and hairy appearance, huntsman spiders are not considered to be dangerous spiders. As with most spiders, they do possess venom, and a bite may cause some ill effects. However, they are quite reluctant to bite, and will usually try to run away rather than be aggressive.
true i put on a jumper and had one crawl out onto my face.. think it was just a black house spider but couldve been a white tail, i mashed it when i pinched it off with my fingers quick af
i got spat in the face by a mocambiquan spitting cobra last year...trip to the hospital where they put tubes in my eyes for antivenom....the pain was...interesting.... oh im from south africa (kzn)
To be honest, I was born and bred in Melbourne... And I've never seen any of these animals in real life except maybe the jellyfish at the pier... Everyone is always 'so scared' to visit Aus cos of all the animals, but yeah, let's be realistic, you're more likely to be in car accident than get hurt by these animals.
Exactly As long as you live in the city you'll be fine I've encountered eastern browns and red bellied black snakes But that's because I'm rural residential The cities have hardly anything
I was bitten by a redback. I didn't sleep for days. Sweat from my calves & feet soaked the bed, had to wrap them in towels. They missed the Death Adder.
There was a bit of misinformation there. There are 2 species of Taipan. The Eastern Taipan is nearly as venomous and very common in central and North Queensland. Also all rivers which empty into the ocean in Queensland have bull sharks and fresh water stone fish. And just for your own personal enjoyment we have white-tailed spiders which are tiny and cause a necrotic infection which can lose you a limb. Good times.
I had an old VH charger back in the early 90's, a white tailed spider jumped onto the dash, it was as big as a 50 cent piece. As far as I know, it's a man made spider where the csiro combined a redback with a funnel web... SMH.
Enjoyed this content from an American perspective. Thank you. Was bought up on large property in Australia - when young, my father bred Dobermans, one of whom became my Velcro Dog. I had a propensity to explore the grounds as a tomboy, climb trees, build tree fortresses and this dog, so phenomenally protected me from snakes and other critters. As long as he was with me and I was home by sundown my parents never worried. Despite not wearing a leash (keeping in mind this was in the 70's and 80's) he never ventured further than five meters away from me. Neither of us were bitten by anything other than occasional mosquitoes despite the landscape later being known as being well populated with snakes.
Out of all those animals, the only ones I’ve seen in the wild are the red back and a brown snake (I saw one the other day slithering across a road) I haven’t been attacked by either one. I live in southern Australia so there isn’t really anything to worry about in ocean down here other than sharks, so people living in places like Darwin and cairns may have seen a few more of these than me. I know someone who lived in Darwin for a while, and they said the one piece of advice is: don’t go swimming in natural waters up there and you won’t be attacked by a hungry croc.
Yep. I'm from Darwin and we are taught from a young age about croc and box jellyfish safety. We locals never swim in the ocean or riverways even though we are a coastal town. One time my cousin found a baby croc bout a meter long, on the roud outside her place, the next suburb over from mine. Not massive but could still take a finger off. lol.
I know you get scared of these spiders heaps but unless you go too your shed everyday the worst thing your going to see around australia at least in the city areas is the occasional daddy longlegs and maybe a few coach roaches and crickets, really just don't go to your shed
Irukandji are tiny jellyfish in the northern waters of Australia that probably deserve a mention... Irukandji syndrome is produced by a small amount of venom and induces excruciating muscle cramps in the arms and legs, severe pain in the back and kidneys, a burning sensation of the skin and face, headaches, nausea, restlessness, sweating, vomiting, an increase in heart rate and blood pressure, and psychological phenomena such as the feeling of impending doom
Mate if you hang out with Aussies you will be ok shit when you do come out I'm up Bundaberg Queensland and I'll take you out fishing and crabbing and stuff like that ok Mate thanks for the vids
I've just returned from a round trip in W.A.'s Pilbara, with one Chinese lady and a South Korean gentleman. They were absoluetly blown away with what they saw and experienced. Especially the Chinese lady who tried to get a real close up shot of tiger snake until it spat at her. L.O.L. you should have seen her reaction. But despite the warnings, she still insisted on getting close as she could. Unreal. The reaction to Dingo's was priceless.
Loved that you watched this! I grew up in country victoria, bushland and beaches. My family still lives there. I have come across spiders, snakes and sharks living in the country. In fact, my dad went for a ride on his motorbike today and sent me a picture of a brown snake he saw on his way. I have encountered MANY jellyfish but luckily not the box jellyfish!! Loved you correcting Melbourne hahah (that’s where I’m living at the moment) PLEASEEEE when you come to Australia, visit the country side! Plenty of red backs and red bellies out there 😂 but so much beauty too ❤️
Oh and yes the spiders in the shoes are a legit thing. Happened more times than I can count. As well as washing on the washing line, in all sheds, around water tanks, many in piles of firewood. But yep very often in shoes lol. Always give them a good smack first. I’ve gone hands first too many times and I’m scarred from that lol
Cassowaries will disembowel you if they are threatened, especially protecting their young. Scarce to see in the wild, but the title says most dangerous, not highest kill score.
Born and bred in Aus, I did have a brown snake strike at me when on a dirt bike once. don;t know why but I was glad to be wearing thick leather boots. That said I was way more scared when I went fishing in Whistler, thinking of Grizzlies spooked me so bad I hightailed it back to town.
There are actually two different types of taipans - the Inland Taipan and the Coastal Taipan. I think the coastal taipan isn't quite as venomous but is usually considered more aggressive and sometimes considered to be territorial. Plus its habitat means it is the one you are more likely to encounter. BTW 7 of the 10 most venomous snakes in the world are found in Australia
Dude... stay out of the water, if your in the bush or a rural area, look we’re your walking and don’t step on a snake.... you are now completely safe from all Australian animals.... It’s always blown me away that Americans think Australian animals are scary... we don’t have any animals on land that will literally hunt down, kill and eat you. You have 3.... bears, cougars, wolves. I mean damn....
I’m 67 and in my lifetime, I’ve seen 2 brown snakes, 1 funnelweb spider, 1 red back, 3 crocodiles, 2 goannas, and a dolphin (not a shark) So very rarely you’ll see any of these if you use common sense.
The irikangi jellyfish is tiny and basically invisible in the water; and if stung can induce a sense of impending doom. There’s also the Gympie Gympie, or suicide bush. It’s a stinging plant that can cause pain so extreme that horses have been known to throw themselves off cliffs, and the pain can last anywhere from hours to months.
Also we have white tail spider. Although not vemonous, its bite can cause nausea, vomiting, malaise an headache. Also on some cases ulcers and necrosis (flesh eating infection) can occur. They love folds of clothes, towels and shoes.
I highly recommend you go to Tasmania. It is breathtakingly beautiful. Google places such as Wineglass Bay, Cradle Mountain, South West National Park, Flinders Island, the Styx Valley and the Tarkine among many others. Oh and if you like bush walking, the Overland Trail is regarded by many as one of the best in the world.
Thank you for pronouncing Melbourne correctly. Different parts of Australia know about their local dangerous animal/insects. In Vic we mainly just watch out for Tiger/Brown snakes and Red Backs and White Tail spiders (not lethal but causes a lot of pain). Sitting in our local gardens my sister had a brown snake crawl across her legs, she just froze and luckily it slithered on by.
Having grown up in the Australian bush I've had a few encounters with snakes. For example, I saw something on the bottom of our pool so I flicked it up with my foot and up flotes a baby brown snake (it was dead). I almost stepped on a red belly black snake a couple of years ago while picking raspberries, and when I was younger I put my hand on a rock and a brown snake jumped off it. Snakes don't really bother me, in my experience, they aren't aggressive. I used to work in childcare and we had a few brown snakes go through the playground without issue. I'm far more scared of bears, at least our animals won't rip your face off.
Great vid mate. I especially love the fact that you know how to pronounce "Melbourne" :P BTW, Taipan is pronounced, "tie-pan". Subbed to your channel for sure :)
A good friend of mine was bitten on the schlong when using a toilet on a farm in the outback. Also, the animals that cause the most deaths here, are horses and number 2, are cattle.
Good ole huntsman is a positive spider. They dont build webs, are happy under shit ya never move, and kill bugs. Leave them alone n they leave you alone. My exwife had one as a pet. It freakin adored her. Theyre not poisonous.

Official records say no one has died from an inland Taipan, but plenty have died from coastal ones. On the Gold Coast 10/20 yrs ago, a man went looking for a cricket ball in long grass and was bitten, he panicked and his mates could not calm him down, he died before the ambulance could get him to Hospital. Several years later a young man was also bitten, he walked several steps away, sat down, calmly phoned his mum, she and the ambulance applied a tourniquet, he stayed calm and did not move, the medivac chopper got him to hospital and they antivenom saved his life.
I’m an Australian, I’ve never seen most of them in person before. But you just need to be aware of your surroundings and nothing will happen. As the video said these creatures don’t want to bother you so don’t bother them.👍🏻
Same
Up the mighty Bombers! 👌
Yea exactly mate
I've only seen redbacks and the eastern browns irl ,never seen any of the others outside of a zoo and I'm 39
Can't believe drop bears weren't on the list. They're easily the biggest threat
I am an Aussie and I have never even seen a drop bear in my life apart from in zoos so they are basically the least of my worries. Ps are you an Australian sitania?
No such thing as a drop bear🙄
@Hannah English of course they exist,especially in Kings Cross!
Rongopai Hiku who told you that? They are renowned for attacking unsuspecting tourists, when they are looking for koalas
@@fordmangtho351 Only way to avoid them, is smear Vegemite on your face they hate that, can't stand the smell and stay away from you.
Vinegar is the 'old school' method for dealing with Box Jellyfish. Ice is used these days but in terms of pain it's excrutiating - take it from me.
Your genuine curiosity regarding Australia is refreshing. Good stuff mate
I would like to know how many Aussies have died from a Heart Attack due to a Huntsman spider!!! Those bastards just 'appear' especially on your car sun visor lol
Its either heart failure or hella car crash!
Had them in my car twice. They're usually nocturnal so 1. I was driving home and saw it trundling across the top of the dash - so far, so good as they don't bother me that much. Driver's A-pillar, up it goes; ok........ It gets to the top and decides to head for the middle of the car over the top of my head....No, Just No. I stopped at the nearby garage, borrowed a dustpan and broom and tossed the spider into nearby shrubs. 2. Dark night, lots of tight curves; turn left, tickling on right knuckles. Turn right, tickling on left knuckles. A flash of light and I realise a huntsman really wants to on the top of the steering wheel so every time I took a turn it would walk back other way over my hand.
0 people ever
Ain't that the truth.....drove straight over a round about once...fuckers!
They actually make good pets, keep the fly population down.
Red-Back Spiders are way too common here, like we've literally had nests in my bedroom, the garage and multiple in the backyard
No insects in the house though.
@@stevenmcleod3217 Yeah nah, unfortunately not that way for me
Meh - dime a dozen... see 'em all the time. Mortein anyone???
Let the daddy long legs spider in side they kill all other spiders .
They come out of the light in my ensuite.
17:20 I'm Australian and have lived in most environments in Australia except the Snowy Mountains area. Too bloody cold for me. As a result, I am acutely aware of what can kill us over here. An interesting thing about the Blue Ringed Octopus venom is that, if you and a team can perform CPR on the patient; they will be conscious, but paralyzed, for around (if memory serves correct) about 4 hours, the venom may wear off to the point that they can breathe for themselves again. But the treatment is far more complex than just breathing for them. A strict compression bandage application and relief procedure must occur over those hours to minimise the risk of tissue and limb damage. Those little octopus are deadly, but survivable.
Yeah BUT there is record of such an octopus deliberatly attacking a human. In every case it was the human who removed them from their environment and go bit doing so.
I'm from queensland, near the great barrier reef. A lot of beaches have bottles of vinegar hanging from the signs for these reasons lol

@@Burger19985 Tbh I think it's slowly dying out but 50 years ago form what I hear it was the predominant condiment for fish and chips, along with tartare sauce. You can still get it at most fish and chip shops but they usually don't do it by default and not many young people get it. Like I'm the only one out of my friends that gets it. I can support anything but tomato sauce on chips which is gross imo. Bbq and gravy are definitely acceptable.

Irukandji jellyfish should have made it. They’re worse than the box jellyfish
I saw a documentary featuring the Irukandji and a pair of scientist studying them got stung so they're in hospital they've had their maximum daily does of morphine which has barely taken the edge off the pain and the females scientist in the classic aussie manner said "what fuckwit decide to study the Irukandji!"
I'm glad I checked the comments to see if someone else had mentioned this... The twit who put this top ten list together clearly doesn't know how to research worth a shit.
While worse is a matter of opinion, I personally believe that the Box Jellyfish is more dangerous. The venom of a Box Jellyfish kills far more quickly, and although an Irukandji’s is one of the most painful things imaginable, lasting up to 12 hours and causing pain that has caused some to beg to be killed, The mere fact that you can survive 12 hours is a reason why I believe that the Box Jellyfish are worse.
@@finnalsop7111 To be fair most boxjelly fish deaths are caused by drowning due the intense pain of multiple stings. neither box's or Irukandji’s will kill unless you receive a very large number of stings or already are compromised in some way but I think that Irukandji are worse as their size makes them almost impossible to see and the nets used to keep Box jellyfish away don't work on them due to their size
@@alankohn6709 True, neither do really kill many people. I guess it’s due to the relative rarity of them compared to a lot of other animals.
My great uncle & aunt: Ross & Valory Taylor pioneered box jellyfish venom/antivenom trials. Ross, on a few occasions, would tape a tentacle to his arm, just to see the effects!
Legends. Leaders in understanding sharks.
Don't you mean Ron? It helps if you get your relatives names correct. Just saying 😏
Try being an arachnophobe in Australia, it’s a bloody nightmare.
Yeah. Fkn sux ey mate
Fkn funnelwebs
They aren't that bad, I've lived in countries with far worse spiders. Go to bunnings and eat a block of cement
Hear about that poor woman in Sydney? She got bitten on the funnel by a finger web spider.
Its the occasional huntsmen spider nearing the size of a face hugger, capable of 0 to 60 in half a second, that love to hang around toilets and ensure you empty your bowels mere feet from the bowl while suffering a mini heart attack after lifting the lid and come face to face with the hairy bugger that are the true c*nting spider of australia.
@@NA-if1lu i love huntsmans i let them live in my room and name them and shit. they love roaches especially the little orange ones
The 3 deadliest animals in the world were left off this list. Textile cone shells, irukanji jellyfish and the deadliest of them all, drop bears.
Box jellyfish are irukanji
@@mathewkelly9968 irukanji are a type of box jellyfish but not all box jellyfish are as dangerous.
Many of the burnt out cars on the side of the road are the result of a drop bear attack.
Red-backs are basically everywhere, in any shed you'll see at least 10 of the bastards, accompanied with millions of other spiders as well
ive got three in my garage, they dont bother me
I had a red back and white tail invasion in my house about 1 and a half months ago (copped a few whitetail bites). Bought some daddy long legs back 1 week later I was bad spider free
I once had 4 daddy long legs in my shower lol
@@alexgeier7326 I keep telling my Mrs not to kill Daddy Long leg spiders, they take care of the other nasty spiders.
In north Queensland, on the beaches, they have signs up warning about box jellyfish, which have boxes (almost like break glass in case of emergency kind of things) containing bottles of vinegar to help alleviate the sting until you can get proper treatment
You’re right he is pronouncing taipan incorrectly. In Australia we pronounce it thai-pan.
Tie-pan.
We've got inch ants here in South Australia that will give you anaphylaxic reactions, resulting in possible death .
I've seen red backs in my kitchen and casually mentioned it my house mates as a warning.
when we had the exterminator over a few days later he said "expect to see red backs dropping on the floor over the next few days" like it was nothing, both a blessing and a curse as to how nonchalant we are as a people
Actually, in my youth, I had job as exterminator, had crawl under houses and into roof attics both usually full of spiders and spider webs. Never ever had an issue with any of them.
My experience in south east Queensland with spiders, roughly once a year i'll see a huntsman, the rest of the time, daddy-longlegs. Also, fun fact, daddy-longlegs have the most toxic venom in the world, but due to the size of their fangs they're unable to bite people.
You’re scared to watch this? Imagine how I feel? I’m an Australian arachnophobic.
Fun fact, where I used to live there was a creek full of eastern brown snakes and red belly black snakes and I used to play there with my friend barefoot. We used to get the snakes on our driveways a few times
Welcome to Australia mate
I lived in Sydney where the Funnel-web Spider holes were 6" apart, I never saw one come inside, the house, nor found one in my shoe, but I did nearly tread on an 8' King Brown Snake curled up on the top step when I went to walk out the door...
Not sure where you got that video from, but they severely underplayed the dangers of these animals.
The Taipan is SUPER aggressive.
As an Aussie when you do first aid courses they teach you how to do first aid for different things like the funnel web, redback, and brown snakes so its ingrained in after a while. FYI you are way more likely to see a redback spider then you are to see a funnel web.
Box jelly fish have eyes, actively hunt and can swim as fast or faster then a humans, those mofos are crazy.
There’s 3 types of Taipans. The one he talks about is the Inland Taipan which is the most venomous snake in the world but they’re shy and are only found in super remote areas. The second type is the Coastal Taipan and is aggressive and you’ll find them Top of WA, NT and QLD. The third type was only recently discovered and is the Western Desert Taipan.
Wow he knows how to pronounce Melbourne like an Aussie 🇦🇺
It's probably already been mentioned at some point, but whitetail spiders are worth watching out for
now that the footy season is coming to a close we need to get some more Aussie culture into before the cricket starts
for a start you could start by listening to some Cold Chisel When The War is Over from Ringside The Angels Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again AC/DC Let There Be Rock and Tim Minchin Prejudice
Darwin is technically a tropical savannah and basically a giant mangrove swamp. Also a great place to have a beer...
There's two species of taipans, the inland and coastal taipan. The coastal is a nasty one, and more commonly found
Slightly less potent venom, but more aggressive and probably more of a bite risk.
3 actually
Can't believe bull sharks weren't on the list, or at least replaced the Great white
First let me say great channel , you said he did not pronounce Melbourne properly he also did not pronounce Taipan snake properly either, I live in Tasmania we also have one of the most poisonous ants in the world which is called the Jack Jumper which gives a very painful sting.
Hey, we have those up in northern NSW too! I came down from QLD & had never seen them before, so I went bush-bashing on foot around my uncle's place on the side of Mt Warning & ran into a nest accidentally. I remember being in so much pain......oh it burned! But I was fine after the venom wore off & my 9yr-old self learnt a very important lesson that day: Always wear shoes when bush-bashing in unknown territory & don't touch the pretty black & gold ants! XD
His pronunciation of Melbourne made me very happy indeed
Why dont you just look up 10 reason TO come to Australia youll probably change your mind
Aww no mention of my favourite the DROP BEAR
They are both frightening and deadly
Just so you know, juvenile brown snakes are more lethal than the adults.
No thats a myth. Ive done a snake course and more then one professional snake handler called bull on that. More likely than not, the bite wouldnt have venom and if it has then its no way near the amount an adult has
@@stevendebono better tell that to the guy who died at a campsite recently after being bitten by a 20cm baby
@@Spankedchicken How can i tell him if he is dead? Ill go find the 20cm baby instead and ask if it was them that bit him
Yeah I’ve heard that the baby ones are more deadly as they get a bit excited when they bite and just realise all their venom in the one hit, whereas the adults have a bit more constraint. Fucked if I know if it’s true or not
@@brentjames2012 that sounds like a male teen on his first date night

Just remember that blue ring octopus only have the rings when they feel threatened, and their initial bite is completely painless but will kill you faster then suffocation
I live in a major city and encounters have so far included a couple of Funnel Webs, tons of Redbacks, the odd snake and a couple of Blue ring Octopi. Fun story for you though - I have family in a country town in the north of Australia. There is a river that runs through the town. The river has crocs in it. It also floods the town occasionally. Guess where the crocs end up when it does!
The only reason the Crocs haven’t killed more people is because we know they are everywhere...fact is if you go swimming in just about any body of water in the Top End you will be EBC (eaten by croc) 😁 As far as snakes go those eastern brown snakes rate way, way higher in my book as well...they are big and scary aggressive!!!
With your theory that the taipan is inland, it is but... we have a thing called a coastal taipan too. Also the only reason those death counts are so low are because we Aussies are insanely aware of how deadly these animals can be, take precautions and know what to do to treat it. As a country with 9 of the 10 most venomous snakes in the world we have to be.
Put on my undies one morning and looked down to see something with eight legs moving.... my underwear was off faster than a bride's nighty.
wasn't me...
Came inside thought there was a leaf on my jacket shoulder but no it was a huntsman. Finally got the bigger outside and rather then escaping into the garden it pranced about like it was Mick Jagger. Nonvenomous but hairy scary and packed with attitude.
@@harrybetteridge7532 " pranced about like it was Mick Jagger" bloody hilarious!
(huntsman spiders ARE venomous but their fangs can't penetrate deep enough to hurt humans, as I understand.)
GOOGLE SAYS> Despite their often large and hairy appearance, huntsman spiders are not considered to be dangerous spiders. As with most spiders, they do possess venom, and a bite may cause some ill effects. However, they are quite reluctant to bite, and will usually try to run away rather than be aggressive.
true i put on a jumper and had one crawl out onto my face.. think it was just a black house spider but couldve been a white tail, i mashed it when i pinched it off with my fingers quick af
@@ononotagain bullshit i got bitten on the neck by one and it swollen for a week

Most beaches in Australia have shark alarms, lifeguards sound a siren for people to get out of the water.
That is why, as a general rule, you should only swim in chartered waters. If you don't - that risk is on you.
@antoinettenovella1630 many people don't though
To be honest, I was born and bred in Melbourne... And I've never seen any of these animals in real life except maybe the jellyfish at the pier... Everyone is always 'so scared' to visit Aus cos of all the animals, but yeah, let's be realistic, you're more likely to be in car accident than get hurt by these animals.
Exactly
As long as you live in the city you'll be fine
I've encountered eastern browns and red bellied black snakes
But that's because I'm rural residential
The cities have hardly anything
I was bitten by a redback. I didn't sleep for days. Sweat from my calves & feet soaked the bed, had to wrap them in towels.
They missed the Death Adder.
you should react to isaac butterfield, hes a funny as aussie comedian
There was a bit of misinformation there. There are 2 species of Taipan. The Eastern Taipan is nearly as venomous and very common in central and North Queensland. Also all rivers which empty into the ocean in Queensland have bull sharks and fresh water stone fish. And just for your own personal enjoyment we have white-tailed spiders which are tiny and cause a necrotic infection which can lose you a limb. Good times.
I had an old VH charger back in the early 90's, a white tailed spider jumped onto the dash, it was as big as a 50 cent piece. As far as I know, it's a man made spider where the csiro combined a redback with a funnel web... SMH.
React to Isaac butterfield!
Enjoyed this content from an American perspective. Thank you. Was bought up on large property in Australia - when young, my father bred Dobermans, one of whom became my Velcro Dog. I had a propensity to explore the grounds as a tomboy, climb trees, build tree fortresses and this dog, so phenomenally protected me from snakes and other critters. As long as he was with me and I was home by sundown my parents never worried. Despite not wearing a leash (keeping in mind this was in the 70's and 80's) he never ventured further than five meters away from me. Neither of us were bitten by anything other than occasional mosquitoes despite the landscape later being known as being well populated with snakes.
nice one menke u should react to issac Butterfields similar vid its funny af
I gave you a like just because you say Brisbane correctly! Good onya mate!
Out of all those animals, the only ones I’ve seen in the wild are the red back and a brown snake (I saw one the other day slithering across a road) I haven’t been attacked by either one. I live in southern Australia so there isn’t really anything to worry about in ocean down here other than sharks, so people living in places like Darwin and cairns may have seen a few more of these than me.
I know someone who lived in Darwin for a while, and they said the one piece of advice is: don’t go swimming in natural waters up there and you won’t be attacked by a hungry croc.
Yep. I'm from Darwin and we are taught from a young age about croc and box jellyfish safety. We locals never swim in the ocean or riverways even though we are a coastal town. One time my cousin found a baby croc bout a meter long, on the roud outside her place, the next suburb over from mine. Not massive but could still take a finger off. lol.
Your reaction to our little spiders was HILARIOUS !😉😉👍😂
I know you get scared of these spiders heaps but unless you go too your shed everyday the worst thing your going to see around australia at least in the city areas is the occasional daddy longlegs and maybe a few coach roaches and crickets, really just don't go to your shed
You forgot huntsman spiders
@@kellymay83 - fk'n _hate_ those huntsmen spiders. Big hairy bastards that move real fast. Basically harmless, but scary as hell.
Irukandji are tiny jellyfish in the northern waters of Australia that probably deserve a mention...
Irukandji syndrome is produced by a small amount of venom and induces excruciating muscle cramps in the arms and legs, severe pain in the back and kidneys, a burning sensation of the skin and face, headaches, nausea, restlessness, sweating, vomiting, an increase in heart rate and blood pressure, and psychological phenomena such as the feeling of impending doom
My daughter has been bitten by a spider in 4 different spots and isn’t scared of them 😂
Or your daughter isn't scared of spiders so she's been bitten 4 times.
I would have added the Bull Shark, seeing as they can be found in rivers as well and are very aggressive.
Mate if you hang out with Aussies you will be ok shit when you do come out I'm up Bundaberg Queensland and I'll take you out fishing and crabbing and stuff like that ok Mate thanks for the vids
And you can stay at my place in the middle of a sugar cane plantation
As long as you play some Lagerstein (my pirate friends' band from Bundaberg)
I've just returned from a round trip in W.A.'s Pilbara, with one Chinese lady and a South Korean gentleman. They were absoluetly blown away with what they saw and experienced. Especially the Chinese lady who tried to get a real close up shot of tiger snake until it spat at her. L.O.L. you should have seen her reaction. But despite the warnings, she still insisted on getting close as she could. Unreal. The reaction to Dingo's was priceless.
I did similar with a couple of Canadians in the late 90s they loved the off the beaten track instead of the tourist way
Loved that you watched this! I grew up in country victoria, bushland and beaches. My family still lives there. I have come across spiders, snakes and sharks living in the country. In fact, my dad went for a ride on his motorbike today and sent me a picture of a brown snake he saw on his way. I have encountered MANY jellyfish but luckily not the box jellyfish!! Loved you correcting Melbourne hahah (that’s where I’m living at the moment) PLEASEEEE when you come to Australia, visit the country side! Plenty of red backs and red bellies out there 😂 but so much beauty too ❤️
Oh and yes the spiders in the shoes are a legit thing. Happened more times than I can count. As well as washing on the washing line, in all sheds, around water tanks, many in piles of firewood. But yep very often in shoes lol. Always give them a good smack first. I’ve gone hands first too many times and I’m scarred from that lol
Cassowaries will disembowel you if they are threatened, especially protecting their young. Scarce to see in the wild, but the title says most dangerous, not highest kill score.
A girl I knew had 2 big pig dogs, they attacked a cassowary and it disemboweled both of them.
Strange - so will a big boomer kangaroo...
Females grow to 6'6 and are highly aggressive. They're very beautiful but I wouldn't wanna see one in person.
Born and bred in Aus, I did have a brown snake strike at me when on a dirt bike once. don;t know why but I was glad to be wearing thick leather boots. That said I was way more scared when I went fishing in Whistler, thinking of Grizzlies spooked me so bad I hightailed it back to town.
Nah mate, Isaac Butterfield video will get demonitized immediately
You mean to say “immOIdiately” !
There are actually two different types of taipans - the Inland Taipan and the Coastal Taipan. I think the coastal taipan isn't quite as venomous but is usually considered more aggressive and sometimes considered to be territorial. Plus its habitat means it is the one you are more likely to encounter.
BTW 7 of the 10 most venomous snakes in the world are found in Australia
Dude... stay out of the water, if your in the bush or a rural area, look we’re your walking and don’t step on a snake.... you are now completely safe from all Australian animals....
It’s always blown me away that Americans think Australian animals are scary... we don’t have any animals on land that will literally hunt down, kill and eat you.
You have 3.... bears, cougars, wolves.
I mean damn....
You missed out the CRAZY PEOPLE roaming their forests with GUNS.
I’m 67 and in my lifetime, I’ve seen 2 brown snakes, 1 funnelweb spider, 1 red back, 3 crocodiles, 2 goannas, and a dolphin (not a shark)
So very rarely you’ll see any of these if you use common sense.
I'm 23 and I've seen them all of those animals several times, some regularly.
I guess it depends if you live in the city, suburbs or bush.
Lol oh dude worst aussie accent ever lol
The funnel web is the MOST deadliest spider in the world
Love your videos, would be awesome if you responded aha, never happens for me tho
Glad you enjoy them!
What the hell kind of list is this !!!
No mention of the Drop Bear !
Just remember to look up and live when Bush walking in Australia.
Can’t believe a redback is on that list, had thousands in my backyard
Thanks for making a point of pronouncing Melbourne correctly. You made me smile.
The irikangi jellyfish is tiny and basically invisible in the water; and if stung can induce a sense of impending doom.
There’s also the Gympie Gympie, or suicide bush. It’s a stinging plant that can cause pain so extreme that horses have been known to throw themselves off cliffs, and the pain can last anywhere from hours to months.
Also we have white tail spider. Although not vemonous, its bite can cause nausea,
vomiting, malaise an headache. Also on some cases ulcers and necrosis (flesh eating infection) can occur.
They love folds of clothes, towels and shoes.
I highly recommend you go to Tasmania. It is breathtakingly beautiful. Google places such as Wineglass Bay, Cradle Mountain, South West National Park, Flinders Island, the Styx Valley and the Tarkine among many others. Oh and if you like bush walking, the Overland Trail is regarded by many as one of the best in the world.
there is two types of Taipan, the coastal taipan and the other taipan is also known as the fierce snake which lives in the desert
Ran into two large tiger snakes last week, but they where pretty cool and calm luckily. Left them to their space, and all was good.
Thank you for pronouncing Melbourne correctly. Different parts of Australia know about their local dangerous animal/insects. In Vic we mainly just watch out for Tiger/Brown snakes and Red Backs and White Tail spiders (not lethal but causes a lot of pain).
Sitting in our local gardens my sister had a brown snake crawl across her legs, she just froze and luckily it slithered on by.
Having grown up in the Australian bush I've had a few encounters with snakes. For example, I saw something on the bottom of our pool so I flicked it up with my foot and up flotes a baby brown snake (it was dead). I almost stepped on a red belly black snake a couple of years ago while picking raspberries, and when I was younger I put my hand on a rock and a brown snake jumped off it. Snakes don't really bother me, in my experience, they aren't aggressive. I used to work in childcare and we had a few brown snakes go through the playground without issue. I'm far more scared of bears, at least our animals won't rip your face off.
Kudos for the Melbun clarification!!!
Great vid mate. I especially love the fact that you know how to pronounce "Melbourne" :P BTW, Taipan is pronounced, "tie-pan". Subbed to your channel for sure :)
A good friend of mine was bitten on the schlong when using a toilet on a farm in the outback.
Also, the animals that cause the most deaths here, are horses and number 2, are cattle.
We've also got Huntsman's(as big as your hand), White Tips and Wolf spiders as well as the scorpions and Bullants (which are about an inch long)
And you say these are deadly?
@@rossbrumby1957 maybe not deadly,, more scary than anything but can give a nasty bite.
Good ole huntsman is a positive spider.
They dont build webs, are happy under shit ya never move, and kill bugs. Leave them alone n they leave you alone. My exwife had one as a pet. It freakin adored her.
Theyre not poisonous.
Try waking up to a dinner-plate sized Huntsman spider on your bedroom wall.
A huntsman spider inside your house means there are let flies around to annoy you. The spider is not going to attack you.
