Thank you for watching me, a humble American, react to ONLY IN AUSTRALIA 2021. These never disappoint. I hope you had as much fun as I did. Subscribe for more Aussie vids! Thanks!
It was a Kookaburra that grab the guys snag (sausage) it was a magpie that crowed like a rooster, and it was a Kookaburra on the guys ride on lawn mower. We don't have sloths we have Koalas, and we don't have porcupines we have Echidnas. Echidnas are one of the only 2 kinds of mammals that lay eggs
it's so funny watching these videos, and relisting how UN-educated Americans are about the rest of the world.. They think they won W2, and are the Leader of the free world... after meeting my mate daughter in law from America, they live in a sheltered workshop, like china, and North Korea, and taught crap from their Government...
Also the snowy one I'm guessing is up near Charlotte's pass, a place in the Australian mountains that regularly registers with the coldest temperatures in Australia on a day to day basis and close to Thredbo, one of the best skiing locations in the world.
@@sharnperdi6212 came here say this too 😊 wait until Ryan finds out we get more snow than the Swiss alps on average haha. And that Tas sometimes gets snow on Christmas Day in the middle of our summer 🤭
@@sharnperdi6212 I very much doubt we actually have one of the "best skiing locations in the world" I think that's probably a bit of nationalistic pride to think that rather than reality. We've got lots of good stuff, but I think that's pushing it! Maybe one of the best skiing location in the world in July/August? (although pretty sure even the Kiwis beet us on "best")
Mate best bird to look up, Ive shown some people not from australia the sounds they can make, and they dont believe me till i show them the one with david attenborough where the lyrebird mimics his voice perfectly which is why he had to whisper recording near them haha, they repeated everything he said in a short clip that couldnt be distinguished from the bros real voice. Then the people believed me, they are an amazing bird
Lyrebirds are just such an awesome bird... the range of mimics is unbelievable can't believe no one has covered them in these Aussie animal ideos. Ok Ryan time for some homework on our Lyrebird 👍
Fun fact: Australia does not have rabies, so we don't need to be worried about it! Our bioquarantine measures are strict and have kept it out of the country so far.
Australia actually has viruses that are closely related to rabies, ie hendra virus and lyssavirus. Human transmission is extremely rare (Commonwealth of Australia. 2022. www.health.gov.au/diseases/rabies). Those who are wildlife rescuers and carers are usually vaccinated, especially if they are likely to come into contact with bats
Lyssavirus is Australia's Rabies, spread the same way, with the same horrific symptoms, and just as deadly. Any one of the millions of native bats across the country could be carrying it. In February 2013, 8-year-old Lincoln Flynn lost his life in the most devastating of circumstances, after being scratched by a bat. Lincoln's parents tell his story, in the hope they'll save lives. th-cam.com/video/6pCyxxMWNAo/w-d-xo.html
Australia's snowfields in winter are larger than Switzerlands'. Not only do we get very deep snow in parts; we've actually had blizzards in the Australian Alps and people have died in them. The lowest temperature ever recorded here was minus 23 C at Charlotte Pass in the Alps in 1994.
However, there is no permanent snow or ice anywhere in Australia. It snows in winter, then all melts by the end of summer. Then snows again next winter.
does everyone know who those people are by initials? I'm suspecting not & out of context like that for non-Aussies probably don't make the connection. Johnny Depp & Amber Heard if I'm right & the initials don't make sense to non-Aussies who didn't really follow the dogs saga
@@mehere8038 is yes, I think most people, especially Americans will know who JD and AH are. You forget how much paparazzi swarm to anything about celebrities so I think it’s safe to assume that many Americans are aware of their court case in Australia
@@heather5540 dunno, would be interesting to know actually. If you mentioned them in relation to their recent US court case I think they would, but to just give 2 sets of initials in relation to rabies & smuggling in Australia I'm not sure people would even make the connection they were US people you were referring to, let alone the court case from 7 years ago. If any Americans are reading, would love to hear if you did pick up on the reference, I'm really curious now
The possum in the tree trunk would have made a home inside it, and would enter and exit through a hole left by an old branch that has broken off. The men have cut down the tree and found the possum in it's home. They're saying it's lucky, because if they had cut the tree trunk a little higher they may have killed the possum. Possums live in tree hollows here in Australia.
The animal you thought was a porcupine is actually an echidna (pronounced 'eh-KID-nah'). Besides the platypus it's the only other mammal in the world that lays eggs. They're part of a scientific group called 'monotremes' and are ancient - the only two animals in their specific branch of evolution for millions of years. Echidnas are also very shy and sweet animals, they won't try to attack you with their spikes, instead they curl into a ball and start digging a hole when they're scared. They're incredibly cute! Baby echidnas are called 'puggles'. Also, wild dingos have discovered how to get at them - they've learned to roll them over.
The spider event happened recently here in Gippsland following flooding. Millions of spiders came above ground and cast webs over all the vegetation. They disappeared after the ground dried off enough to allow them to return to their underground homes.
You’re going to have so much fun when you get to Aus. There’ll be plenty of proud Aussie wanting to show you around. I’m sure you won’t have to pay for much. Plenty will love to host you.
I'd show him around, No problem he'd be treated as a fucking celebrity, upon arrival to australia we'll take him to a pub, Show him his first schooner LOL Take him to bunnings get him a snag then show him the fucking harbour bridge :P yeah. i'd show him around no problem Probably take him to the reptile park as well
The one that thinks he’s a rooster is a magpie, the one at the end is a magpie and the one that stole the snag ( sausage) is a kookaburra also the the one sitting on the steering wheel 👍🏻
I had starlings nesting in the ceiling above the dunny- once while on the job, i heard a chicken clucking then a dog bark twice above my head. The starlings must've grown up in a nest very close to chooks and dogs..
Now I wonder if the magpie thinks it's a rooster or just yells like one to confuse the cat "hey, I'm a normal cock, no worries" and the cat would be like "whatever, too comfy to do anything"
"Quardle oodle ardle wardle doodle the magpies said", from the famous poem by Denis Glover. Folks of a certain age got drilled with this poem at school but it's still fun to get your mouth around.
Wow,,, porcupine? Ever seen a porcupine,? They are echidna, one of two egg laying mammals in the world known as monotremes. These guys and the platypus should be better known world wide simply for the rules of being a mammal that they break!😆😂🤣
Snag is slang for sausage - which makes me hungry! Also, we don't 'pet' animals. We pat them. And yes, we have snow in parts of NSW, Victoria and Tasmania.
@@james_edits12 Yeah, Bluff Knoll in the Porungorup National Park, which when I checked the spelling, is the oldest mountain range in the world at over 1 billion years old, I never knew. Back to the snow, it has snowed in a few other places in our recorded history, but very rare. Bliff Knoll is about once or twice a year and only enough to get a light frosting.
the collective scream of rage that would have gone out of every aussies mouth at "that is a magpie' 🤣 seriously tho great reaction video and yes kangaroo males make weird grunting noises so do koala males, both sound freaky as hell
The people in front of the crocodile are tourists and thought it was a fake crocodile until it snapped. Australia does get snow in some parts like some of Tasmania, Perisher, Thredbo, Charlotte Pass, Mt Hotham, Falls Creek, Mt Buller, Selwyn, and Mt Baw Baw. The last of was a magpie
lol so a bit of a summary/explanation of what you were watching 1. good old fashioned Aussie humour :) Line up the tourists for a pic, then trigger the croc to snap in the background just for laughs :) 2. snag is a sausage, Kookaburras like to grab meat out of unsuspecting hands while eating a barbie. They especially target kids, who haven't yet learnt to defend their food from them, but I think they've also figured out blokes with beers in their hand are probably drunk & an easy target too. Look up a kookaburra's laugh, you'll love that too :) 3. yup possum's lucky! They cut down the tree & JUST missed going right through the possum (or it's arse is what they were saying) 4. yeh, see roos are cute. Why do you think they're mean? They climb into the human's pretend pouch even :)) 5. yup, waterskiing behind a horse, I mean why not :) 6. spider on the face, I'm an Aussie woman, I'd do it happily - IF I could get the spider to slow down enough to stay put for the video. That takes skill to get it stationary there! 7. ok so THAT is a magpie & yes, it's impersonating a rooster, cause.... well why not? Like it says "only in Australia" & our animals are just as crazy as our people 8. yup, crocs can be fast if they want to be. In Darwin they do "jumping croc" tours too, where the crocs propel themselves out of the water to get food they hold metres above the water - some of the tours operate in tiny little boats & lift the dead chicken up well above the boat height on a long stick too. Those crocs seem to have good tablemanners though & only eat the food on the stick, not the food in the boat, unlike the great white shark in 2020 who jumped up & grabbed a kid right out of the boat (he survived, his dad jumped into the water after him & chased the shark off) 9. Marlin. Popular fishing holiday in Australia is to go after them, impressive fighters & yes, it is on the line while jumping like that! 10. what's to say? It's a cute koala with 2 bubs :) 11. nope, that's a kookaburra, not a magpie. That's the snag thief :) 12. Well done on the emU pronunciation :) & yeh, that's an outback cafe that has resident emus 13. That's a female King Parrot, male is bright red. Anyone in Australia that wants to feed wild birds can get pretty birds to come to their home regularly for food. Check out rainbow lorikeets for probably the prettiest of the really common ones 14. we get floods, so the spider's solution to floods is to build huge communal webs up above the water line :) & pretty sure no-one's intentionally made a web shirt, but a face full of web is pretty common here from ones like St Andrews spiders, who build MASSIVE webs across paths & those webs are really sticky. I have sometimes wondered if intentionally walking through a web would be a good hair gel replacement - especially when I used to have one that built a web right in front of my front door every single night! I wonder what would happen if we were to try to sell their webs online lol 15. that's human & dolphin surfers competing for the waves. Sometimes humpback or southern right whales join in too, but the other surfers tend to give them right of way, due to their size (50 tonnes) 16. yup, that's a dog jumping into the water to play with it's dolphin friend 17. who knew they swam? Aussies lol roos are also known for drowning animals like dogs that they don't like, they're not only great swimmers, but can & will hold other animals under water on purpose too & yeh, they'll just go for a swim at a beach or lake on a hot day, just cause they can - they haven't started surfing yet though 18. the "porcupines" are echidnas. They've got pouches too, like roos etc but they lay eggs into theirs & they feed on ants, hence the snout nose designed for sticking down ant holes. They're cuties, they don't try to hurt people & no poison in their spikes or anything (unlike their relative the platypus) 19. "where in Australia do you get a foot of snow" um the "Snowy Mountains" mainly :) Great Dividing Range along the East Coast of the country. We have ski resorts in 2 states (NSW & Victoria). Tassy gets some snow too, but mostly on mountain top looking areas, while the Snowy Mountains get it over a wide area of mixed terrain, including around waterways, hence the "Snowy Mountain Hydroelectric system" that generates large amounts of power from the snow as it melts each year & that looks like a wombat in the snow btw - they're the animal that has cube shaped poos 20 & 21. yup, they're male kangaroos, grunting & displaying dominance. Roos have harems & only the dominate male gets to have a group of girls & the other boys get chased away & we don't have rabies in Australia btw & yup, they act like drunk guys, hence the "boxing kangaroo" & occasional drunk Aussies getting into a punch up with a roo, cause they're kinda too similar to notice the other is a different species when obsessed by claiming a girl/sheila they think belongs to them or engaging in any other reptile brain activities & btw, notice the girl roo just hops off, just before the human girl says "Bruce". Girl roos think about as much of the fighting over them as girl humans do 22. yup, magpie attacking a drone. At least they haven't started taking down hang-gliders & paragliders yet, our wedgetail eagles are the only bird in the world known to intentionally target those & light aircraft & actually attack with enough force to take them down. Magpies have got to the point now of stopping drone deliveries though with their attacks on the drones So when are you coming to visit Ryan? Can't believe you've never met an Aussie! We need to fix that!
There is no rabies in Australia. That's why Johnny Depp and Amber Heard sneaking their dogs into the country was such a big deal. Note: Bats do carry viruses that a related to rabies such as ABLV (Australian Bat Lyssavirus).
The Australian alps have more snow coverage than Switzerland. No rabies in Australia, no alligators either. Standing up full on its hind legs a big male red kangaroo is not far short of 7ft.
@@markward573 We do _in the Winter......._ That is to say, it snows over a larger area during a good ski season in Australia than it does in Switzerland; but it snows more often and over a longer period of time in Switzerland.
@@ssp4795 we do have more snow in the Australian alps on average than switzerland and it's because while switzerland is landlocked, the Aust. Alps are not far from the humid coast, getting more moisture to fall as snow where its colder. This is a well documented fact if you do a few searches.
Love watching your videos I live in Queensland Australia and would love to visit America one day . You are very kind the way you love and talk about Australia I hope you get to visit one day 😁🥰
Possums make homes in the hollows of trees, so there would have been an opening on the other side of the log. It’s sad because now the possum doesn’t have a home. People make nest boxes for birds and possums in Australia because it takes many years for those hollows to form naturally in big trees.
Where in Australia would you get a foot of snow you ask? The Snowy Mountains of course. It also can snow on the mountains 60 kms away from Sydney in the Blue Mountains and it’s even snowed in southern Queensland which is slightly tropical ( it’s like snow in Florida) .
The high country, mountains have huge area of snow cover. We have more skiable country than Switzerland. In fact quite a few European ski instructors work ski season in Australia, some from US too.
@@redwarpy yes, for sure, people in ski business all enjoy both winter seasons. But it seems that so many people do not know Australia has significant ski season, and it is very suited to long cross country skiing, as well as some very good downhill areas. Only very rugged high mountains, like European Alps or US Rocky mountains, are lacking, no steep rocky peaks,more rolling hills country all below 2500m altitude.
There are 356 ski resorts in Switzerland (Schweiz) with 7,033 kilometres of slopes: the ski resorts are served by 1,906 ski lifts. In Australia there are 284 kilometres of slopes: the ski resorts are served by 141 ski lifts.
The croc which did the “crocodile snap” in the first clip is missing a front leg which reduces its speed dramatically, hence the only reason they were allowing the ladies get that close. Also there are no gators in Australia just crocs and unlike alligators which some people can be in the water with simultaneously there is absolutely NO CHANCE of getting into the water with a salt water crocodile without being attacked and most likely killed. Nice vid Ryan!! 👍
You should see if you can watch the vid about the Australian Lyre Bird and all its imitations. The more calls, the more partners! As for the spiders - floods can cause get-togethers as they come in off the ground to get away from the waters. The blankets are a rarity in the city, but not unusual in rural areas.
Firstly, Australia has more snow than the Swiss Alps. We have several fantastic ski resorts Also that bird you thought was a magpie was actually a kookaburra That WAS a magpie that sounded like a rooster We don’t have porcupines in Australia. Those were echidnas (Pronounced eekidna)
The dog that jumped on the shark at the beach was a Kelpie - awesome Aussie dogs also available in the US The grunting noise is either the kangaroo buck or a koala buck (buck = male) doing their mating song. The animal stuffing about in the snow is a wombat - wombies are sooo cool!!! 🤗
Magpies normally sing and chortle, the one that sounds like a rooster, has copied the sound and probably lived in a barn yard. Ryan crocodiles are found only in the outback and tropics not major cities, so you never see them apart from a zoo.
It was a wombat in the snow. Yes, we get snow and not necessarily in the mountains. There’s a place in Queensland where it snows and I’ve been to the snowfields in NSW but I never actually saw the process of “snowing” until I went to the USA. I didn’t realise each flake has its own separate pattern. Deb Mailman and I danced together in the snow and made a snowman. We were like little kids.
Spiders coating the garden and fence are when the area is flooded in the hot months when spiders are breeding and the only nearby "high ground" was the garden and fence. Adds extra joy to floods in rural Australia. (You can hear the cameraman is walking in water if you listen)
Love the reaction to the spiders! 😂 I recommend you look up Tim Minchin. Australian composer and former comedian. His song PREJUDICE is genius. He also wrote the score for the stage musical Matilda.
Firstly - There's probably only about ONE Aussie female who would let a Huntsman crawl on her face 'for fun' and that was her! I had no idea Crocodiles could swim that bloody fast either! Sheeeeez! A "snag' is a sausage, as in "Throw another snag on the Barbie mate" & The webs... you see them when there's been flooding and they move UP out of the water. Not very often - or at least not where I live. I guess there's probably just as many on the ground and all around here too - I just don't see them - and that's just FINE with me! Magpies are very smart birds and can mimic all kinds of sounds - but that's the 1st time I heard one do a cock crow. That was a Kookaburra on the ride on and yes a magpie taking exception to a drone. You're getting there - almost said EeeMYouuu correctly. 🤣
A snag is a sausage. The magpie was the bird on the fence with the cat. What you thought was a magpie was a kookaburra. We don't have sloths in Australia. And the porcupine was actually an echidna, one of only 2 known monotreme (egg laying mammals. The other is the platypus). Yes, it snows in parts of NSW, Victoria and Tasmania.
As an Aussie woman I would never happily have a giant spider (harmless or not) crawling on my face. Nor would anyone else I know. That's definitely not a common occurrence here lol. It snows in 3 states here. In parts of NSW, Victoria and Tasmania. The Australian Alps gets more snow fall per year than the Swiss Alps. It's snowing in parts of Aus now. Check out some videos / vlogs of NSW or Victorian snow .
Huntsmans are not altogether harmless I got bitten by a huntsman once and the bite was like an ulcer for about 3 months, the scar lasted for years ... I spoke to our local chemist when the bite did not clear up and he had just written a thesis about the infamous "white tailed spider" which he concluded was not a necrosis poison he explained to me that any spider bite can be dangerous as the spiders mouth is full of bacteria ... Definatly DON'T let one crawl across ya face ..
Yep, that last one was a magpie. The bird who thought he was a rooster was a magpie. The one sitting on the steering wheel of whatever that dude was sitting on was a kookaburra.
Echidna, kookaburra, wombat, and yes we have amazing snowfalls. You must come down under💖🇦🇺 id love to see you do the Nullabor roadtrip across our beautiful country.
Emu's ain't dangerous, they are just nosey and curious. I saw a running club video where they go out and run in bush reserve and there's an emu that's friendly and likes to go running with them all the time. 😜
Gday. A kookaburra took the sausage (snag) and was sitting on the mower. The magpie sounded like a rooster. I have never seen spiders like that and I grew up on farms! Think it was a black tip reef shark. They're echidnas and they lay eggs! That was a wombat in the Snowy Mountains. Yes it was a magpie attacking the drone. lol
My guess is Dog Shark, as they're the only ones I've seen doing that aerial backflip thing. Actually there was two, the second looked a bit like a black tip.
Porcupine = echidna... they are soo adorable, ive had them at my house and walked them back to the reserve that leads onto a national park. We dont have rabies in oz... thats why quarantine is very precious n strict here, we dont want that crap here. Yes its a maggie at the end... they will attack u on the ground, in the water and the sky... nowhere is safe!! hahaha
Definitely a croc and not an alligator. The bird flew in to get the sausage (snag) The possum would have already been in the tree, mostly likely had crawled in through a hole somewhere, and the guys had cut down the tree with a chainsaw. "Sucking it in hard" meaning the possum was holding its breath and trying to get as small as possible, so the chainsaw didn't chop it in half. LOL That was a kookaburra on the ride on lawnmower. They were Echidnas, not porcupine! LOL There's a few regions in the south east (NSW and Victoria) that get snow each winter as well as the high country in Tasmania. It looked like a magpie chasing the drone Another good video mate, well done.
Love, love, love your reactions, they're honest, your not afraid to say it as you believe you understand it, thanks for learning about us... 😃😃😃 BTW please update on baby due date, 👍
sitting on the steering wheel of the ride on lawn mower was a Kookaburra, Magpies are specifically black and white, 1 earlier crowed like a rooster, that was a Magpie !Roos make a cough barking type sound if they are aggitated
Everyone seems to have commented on the other animals, but the one in the snow was a wombat if you didn't know. Kookaburra's and Magpies are both very intelligent birds. Listen to the laugh of a Kookaburra it will surprise you.
As others have said yes we do have snow in winter, though it snowed in the high land's of Tasmania on Christmas Day a few years ago which made the news
We have snow in the snowy mountains in N.S.W and the “porcupine “ was actually an Echidna. It was a wombat in the snow and the “magpie” was a kookaburra…love your videos appreciating our country
I live 35 minutes from one of our ski resorts, Mt Hotham and 45 minutes from Falls Ck. So far this season Hotham has had 370cm (12’4”) of snow. As someone else said, we have more snow by area (not volume) than Switzerland. This is the coldest winter I have experienced in the area and although at the base of the mountains, not at altitude, we’ve had a lot of days of minus 4 and 5C.
Snag is a sausage. And kookaburras are great at this. We had a shelter up, and eating hot dogs for breakfast. When a kookaburra flew passed me, stole the snag from my grandson's bun, ( who was sitting on my left). And took off. Grandson was left with bun, cheese, onions, BBQ sauce, minus sausage.
Hello Ryan, Julian here from Oz. The bird crowing like a rooster was a magpie and the bird on the steering wheel of the mower was a Kookaburra which makes the sound of laughter. No we do not have Porcupines, we do have Echidna which are toothless mammals that eat ants with their long tongues. Harmless creatures. Regarding where the snow is, well you get snow in N.S.W which Sydney is the capital and Victoria which Melbourne is the capital. Yes, the last one was a Magpie. Take care, Ryan, good job.
Kangaroos are not be treated lightly. They can disembowel you with one kick. My Grandfather kept a few dogs for Roo hunting on his farm. Every year, he would lose 1 or 2 to Roos.
The wombat in the snow was most likely here in Tasmania and, not only do we get snow in winter but, every once in a while we even get snow in the middle of summer (Dec-Feb). I've had a few white Christmases in my lifetime :)
Love your reaction. Black n white ones are our magpies. The one on the lawn Mower and Snag (sausage cooked on a bbq) were both kookaburras. Yes that’s the sound a male kangaroo makes when he’s not happy. We do get snow here. In the high country in New South Wales and Victoria as well as Tasmania. The critter walking through the snow is a wombat and the porcupine looking animals are Echidna- their spikes are to protect themselves rather than hurting others. Thank you for your video. Loved it. The spiders come out like that during flooding events. As for the huntsman on the face … they’re not dangerous but I wouldn’t do that either. That lady obviously has no fear or arachnids 🕷 My home Australia 🇦🇺 is full of beauty and uniqueness.
NSW / Victoria high country is where our snowy mountains are. They also get snow in Tasmania. More snow than Switzerland. We'll ocasionally get snow here in Canberra. Have a look at places like Jindabyne, Perisher, Blue Cow, Thredbo, Charlottes Pass, Mt Hotham. Massive hydro electric scheme called The Snowy Hydro started in 1949 and now Snowy Hydro 2 expansion works are underway.
The bird that mimicked a rooster and bombed the drone are magpies. The bird that was chilling on the steering wheel and stole a snag (sausage) are kookaburras. They are easy to tell apart. The magpie will dive bomb you in spring to protect their nests. Kookaburras are gutsy creatures who will steal food out of your hand, lap or plate at any time of the year.
The crocodile stunt is just ... crazy. Snag = sausage. The bird was a kookaburra (look up laughing kookaburra). Arse = Ass. Sucking his arse in when the dude sawed through the tree! That possum had a lucky escape! The bird on the mower is a Kooraburra. And yes, that's an E-MEW (emu). Eww spiders. Aussie spiders are friendly :D And that was a roo and yes, they can swim. Not a porcupine - an echidna. Yes, it snows here too and we have great ski resorts.
This comment is so random on a month old video, but I just wanted to say I’ve watched all you other Europe videos on your othwr channels, and now I’m watching the Australia ones even though I have never cared that much about Australia. I enjoy your commentary, you have a spark for entertainment, and you are concious of the editing details like sound. I hope it works out for you in your life.
And yes, we have snow. The southern part of Australia is close to the Antarctic. But the snow is usually in the mountains. We have many different ski fields you can go to.
We actually get a lot of snow in Australia..well NSW VIC and Tasmania do. We have a number of huge ski resorts as well. Even over here in Western Australia has a couple of places that get a little bit of snow occasionally
We have numerous ski resorts across three states (NSW, Victoria and Tasmania). Aussies are great skiers (many taught by Austrian and German instructors from the 1960s onwards).
@@edward9643 Much cheaper to ski New Zealand, that's why so many go there. I spent the best year of my life in Queenstown. Loved every moment and never wanted to leave.
@@marionthompson3365 aww Marion - I passed that on and Tourism New Zealand want u to discuss an advertorial contract - maybe find yourself a lawyer and agent.
Magpies are just protecting their babies, kookaburras are cheeky. I've never seen spiders like that. My dogs once chased roos into our dam, that's when i learned they swim just fine!
8:24 @Ryan asked „Where In Australia you find snow?“ The Snowy Mountains region in the south-east falls in the alpine climate or subpolar oceanic climate zone… Australia's experiences a variety of climatic conditions, primarily due to the vast size of the continent. There are six distinct climate groups; Equitorial, Tropical, Sub-tropical, Desert, Grassland and Temperate. Australia is about 1.3 times smaller than United States.
The bird on the steering wheel of the mower is a kookaburra, the snow is most definitely in the mountains (the only place you find snow in Australia), and the spiney critter is called an echidna (ee- kid- na). I think the bird that took the guys snag (sausage), was a magpie, as was the one imitating a cockerel, and the one attacking the drone; and yes, these are the birds that will swoop at you, if you’re near their nest. They’re brazen as mate.
The bird with cat was a Magpie, the bird on the steering wheel is a Kookaburra. Also I believe flashing by grabbing the "Snag", a local term for grilled sausage, bird is hard to identify because it is fast and blurred but likely a kookaburra by colours.
Kookaburras will stake out your bbq or picnic and wait for an opportunity to snatch something. They are the largest species in the Kingfisher family, and are known to prey on Lizards and Snakes of decent size. I have seen a Kookaburra catch, kill and fly off with a Common Tree Snake maybe 80cm long. So grabbing your freshly cooked snag is probably a far easier meal.
We were at Maccas in Airlie Beach a couple of years ago and a kookaburra stole my husbands entire cheeseburger - it was hilarious - the entire outdoor area erupted in laughter and the staff offered him a replacement - apparently it's a regular occurrence there, he's a regular 🤣🤣🤣
Maggie's are black & white, kookaburras are little brown birds with big beaks. Emus look like ostrich, & cassowary is a emu with a lump on top of their head. (Cassowary is the most dangerous bird in the world).
It was a Kookaburra that grab the guys snag (sausage) it was a magpie that crowed like a rooster, and it was a Kookaburra on the guys ride on lawn mower. We don't have sloths we have Koalas, and we don't have porcupines we have Echidnas. Echidnas are one of the only 2 kinds of mammals that lay eggs
it's so funny watching these videos, and relisting how UN-educated Americans are about the rest of the world..
They think they won W2, and are the Leader of the free world... after meeting my mate daughter in law from America, they live in a sheltered workshop, like china, and North Korea, and taught crap from their Government...
And a female king parrot. Wait till he sees a male one.
Also the snowy one I'm guessing is up near Charlotte's pass, a place in the Australian mountains that regularly registers with the coldest temperatures in Australia on a day to day basis and close to Thredbo, one of the best skiing locations in the world.
@@sharnperdi6212 came here say this too 😊 wait until Ryan finds out we get more snow than the Swiss alps on average haha. And that Tas sometimes gets snow on Christmas Day in the middle of our summer 🤭
@@sharnperdi6212 I very much doubt we actually have one of the "best skiing locations in the world" I think that's probably a bit of nationalistic pride to think that rather than reality.

If you want to see an Aussie bird that is an excellent mimic, prepare to be amazed, then look up the Lyrebird.
Mate best bird to look up, Ive shown some people not from australia the sounds they can make, and they dont believe me till i show them the one with david attenborough where the lyrebird mimics his voice perfectly which is why he had to whisper recording near them haha, they repeated everything he said in a short clip that couldnt be distinguished from the bros real voice. Then the people believed me, they are an amazing bird
I seen an Aussie bird today.. Great healthy chest with a fine pair of legs on her,
I'm gana feed her so much seed if i catch her boys.
There is a great doco on Lyre bird .. he makes construction noises chainsaw noises. Unbelieveable
Lyrebirds are just such an awesome bird... the range of mimics is unbelievable can't believe no one has covered them in these Aussie animal ideos. Ok Ryan time for some homework on our Lyrebird 👍
Fun fact: Australia does not have rabies, so we don't need to be worried about it! Our bioquarantine measures are strict and have kept it out of the country so far.
And that's why Amber Heard's dogs entering our country IS a big deal.
Australia actually has viruses that are closely related to rabies, ie hendra virus and lyssavirus. Human transmission is extremely rare (Commonwealth of Australia. 2022. www.health.gov.au/diseases/rabies). Those who are wildlife rescuers and carers are usually vaccinated, especially if they are likely to come into contact with bats
Lyssavirus is Australia's Rabies, spread the same way, with the same horrific symptoms, and just as deadly. Any one of the millions of native bats across the country could be carrying it. In February 2013, 8-year-old Lincoln Flynn lost his life in the most devastating of circumstances, after being scratched by a bat. Lincoln's parents tell his story, in the hope they'll save lives.

Crocs can indeed swim faster than us, but you don’t need to swim faster than a croc to escape one. Just swim faster than your mate.

Crocs normally just stay away don't they?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Australia's snowfields in winter are larger than Switzerlands'. Not only do we get very deep snow in parts; we've actually had blizzards in the Australian Alps and people have died in them. The lowest temperature ever recorded here was minus 23 C at Charlotte Pass in the Alps in 1994.
However, there is no permanent snow or ice anywhere in Australia. It snows in winter, then all melts by the end of summer. Then snows again next winter.
Australia gets more snow than the Swiss Alps.
@@andrewdonald8061 Yes but spread out thinner.
I was at Charlotte Pass in 1994 on a High School trip in the minus 23c. So awesome, couldn't ski for shit, but I could toboggan like a champ!
@@pronumeral1446As stated above the Australian Alps are larger than the Swiss Alps. And there was no claim that the snow was deeper all over here
Thankfully no rabies in Australia but that’s also why our animal smuggling laws are so strict and carry large fines, also why JD and AH went to court
They broke the law and acted the Australian authorities were in the wrong for trying to enforce our laws.
does everyone know who those people are by initials? I'm suspecting not & out of context like that for non-Aussies probably don't make the connection. Johnny Depp & Amber Heard if I'm right & the initials don't make sense to non-Aussies who didn't really follow the dogs saga
@@becp488 which is what I said lol they tried to smuggle in dogs so they were charged for breaking those laws.
@@mehere8038 is yes, I think most people, especially Americans will know who JD and AH are. You forget how much paparazzi swarm to anything about celebrities so I think it’s safe to assume that many Americans are aware of their court case in Australia
@@heather5540 dunno, would be interesting to know actually. If you mentioned them in relation to their recent US court case I think they would, but to just give 2 sets of initials in relation to rabies & smuggling in Australia I'm not sure people would even make the connection they were US people you were referring to, let alone the court case from 7 years ago.
If any Americans are reading, would love to hear if you did pick up on the reference, I'm really curious now
The possum in the tree trunk would have made a home inside it, and would enter and exit through a hole left by an old branch that has broken off. The men have cut down the tree and found the possum in it's home. They're saying it's lucky, because if they had cut the tree trunk a little higher they may have killed the possum. Possums live in tree hollows here in Australia.
In tree hollows ... when they aren't in our roofs
They are partying in my bloody roof!! 😤
@@poizen-ivy 🤣😂😆
I have one living in my bath cavity. She is harmless
@@poizen-ivy I came here to say exactly that - noisy little buggers like to tap dance in the roof while you're trying to sleep
The animal you thought was a porcupine is actually an echidna (pronounced 'eh-KID-nah'). Besides the platypus it's the only other mammal in the world that lays eggs. They're part of a scientific group called 'monotremes' and are ancient - the only two animals in their specific branch of evolution for millions of years. Echidnas are also very shy and sweet animals, they won't try to attack you with their spikes, instead they curl into a ball and start digging a hole when they're scared. They're incredibly cute! Baby echidnas are called 'puggles'. Also, wild dingos have discovered how to get at them - they've learned to roll them over.
Puggles are so darn adorable - as are their parents
Can we just pause to appreciate how cute old mate Ryan looks with his haircut 😘
The spider event happened recently here in Gippsland following flooding. Millions of spiders came above ground and cast webs over all the vegetation. They disappeared after the ground dried off enough to allow them to return to their underground homes.
WHEN KANGAROOS STAND UP THEY ARE ASKING
"DO YOU EVEN LIFT BRO?"
You’re going to have so much fun when you get to Aus. There’ll be plenty of proud Aussie wanting to show you around. I’m sure you won’t have to pay for much. Plenty will love to host you.
Gday. true
He better have a return flight already booked..
I'd show him around, No problem
he'd be treated as a fucking celebrity, upon arrival to australia we'll take him to a pub, Show him his first schooner LOL
Take him to bunnings get him a snag then show him the fucking harbour bridge
:P
yeah. i'd show him around no problem
Probably take him to the reptile park as well
The one that thinks he’s a rooster is a magpie, the one at the end is a magpie and the one that stole the snag ( sausage) is a kookaburra also the the one sitting on the steering wheel 👍🏻
I had starlings nesting in the ceiling above the dunny- once while on the job, i heard a chicken clucking then a dog bark twice above my head. The starlings must've grown up in a nest very close to chooks and dogs..
Now I wonder if the magpie thinks it's a rooster or just yells like one to confuse the cat "hey, I'm a normal cock, no worries" and the cat would be like "whatever, too comfy to do anything"
Australian magpies are great mimics! Their own warble is beautiful!
They imitated fire sirens during the bushfires too.
"Quardle oodle ardle wardle doodle the magpies said", from the famous poem by Denis Glover. Folks of a certain age got drilled with this poem at school but it's still fun to get your mouth around.
I've even heard them talk like parrots too
Wow,,, porcupine? Ever seen a porcupine,? They are echidna, one of two egg laying mammals in the world known as monotremes. These guys and the platypus should be better known world wide simply for the rules of being a mammal that they break!😆😂🤣
They thought they were fake for decades.
Platypus is also the only venomous mammal.
Snag is slang for sausage - which makes me hungry! Also, we don't 'pet' animals. We pat them. And yes, we have snow in parts of NSW, Victoria and Tasmania.
also snows in south australia and western australia. even qld and nt have had snow.
@@6226superhurricane i live in WA and we do have snow, barely tho, i think its on bluff noel or smthn
@@james_edits12 Yeah, Bluff Knoll in the Porungorup National Park, which when I checked the spelling, is the oldest mountain range in the world at over 1 billion years old, I never knew. Back to the snow, it has snowed in a few other places in our recorded history, but very rare. Bliff Knoll is about once or twice a year and only enough to get a light frosting.
ACT gets some snow in the Alps in winter.
Of course it snows quite a bit in the err .. Snowy Mountains.
the collective scream of rage that would have gone out of every aussies mouth at "that is a magpie' 🤣 seriously tho great reaction video and yes kangaroo males make weird grunting noises so do koala males, both sound freaky as hell
Also at porcupines!
The people in front of the crocodile are tourists and thought it was a fake crocodile until it snapped. Australia does get snow in some parts like some of Tasmania, Perisher, Thredbo, Charlotte Pass, Mt Hotham, Falls Creek, Mt Buller, Selwyn, and Mt Baw Baw. The last of was a magpie
Also had snow in Canberra when I lived there, too 😊
lol so a bit of a summary/explanation of what you were watching
1. good old fashioned Aussie humour :) Line up the tourists for a pic, then trigger the croc to snap in the background just for laughs :)
2. snag is a sausage, Kookaburras like to grab meat out of unsuspecting hands while eating a barbie. They especially target kids, who haven't yet learnt to defend their food from them, but I think they've also figured out blokes with beers in their hand are probably drunk & an easy target too. Look up a kookaburra's laugh, you'll love that too :)
3. yup possum's lucky! They cut down the tree & JUST missed going right through the possum (or it's arse is what they were saying)
4. yeh, see roos are cute. Why do you think they're mean? They climb into the human's pretend pouch even :))
5. yup, waterskiing behind a horse, I mean why not :)
6. spider on the face, I'm an Aussie woman, I'd do it happily - IF I could get the spider to slow down enough to stay put for the video. That takes skill to get it stationary there!
7. ok so THAT is a magpie & yes, it's impersonating a rooster, cause.... well why not? Like it says "only in Australia" & our animals are just as crazy as our people
8. yup, crocs can be fast if they want to be. In Darwin they do "jumping croc" tours too, where the crocs propel themselves out of the water to get food they hold metres above the water - some of the tours operate in tiny little boats & lift the dead chicken up well above the boat height on a long stick too. Those crocs seem to have good tablemanners though & only eat the food on the stick, not the food in the boat, unlike the great white shark in 2020 who jumped up & grabbed a kid right out of the boat (he survived, his dad jumped into the water after him & chased the shark off)
9. Marlin. Popular fishing holiday in Australia is to go after them, impressive fighters & yes, it is on the line while jumping like that!
10. what's to say? It's a cute koala with 2 bubs :)
11. nope, that's a kookaburra, not a magpie. That's the snag thief :)
12. Well done on the emU pronunciation :) & yeh, that's an outback cafe that has resident emus
13. That's a female King Parrot, male is bright red. Anyone in Australia that wants to feed wild birds can get pretty birds to come to their home regularly for food. Check out rainbow lorikeets for probably the prettiest of the really common ones
14. we get floods, so the spider's solution to floods is to build huge communal webs up above the water line :) & pretty sure no-one's intentionally made a web shirt, but a face full of web is pretty common here from ones like St Andrews spiders, who build MASSIVE webs across paths & those webs are really sticky. I have sometimes wondered if intentionally walking through a web would be a good hair gel replacement - especially when I used to have one that built a web right in front of my front door every single night! I wonder what would happen if we were to try to sell their webs online lol
15. that's human & dolphin surfers competing for the waves. Sometimes humpback or southern right whales join in too, but the other surfers tend to give them right of way, due to their size (50 tonnes)
16. yup, that's a dog jumping into the water to play with it's dolphin friend
17. who knew they swam? Aussies lol roos are also known for drowning animals like dogs that they don't like, they're not only great swimmers, but can & will hold other animals under water on purpose too & yeh, they'll just go for a swim at a beach or lake on a hot day, just cause they can - they haven't started surfing yet though
18. the "porcupines" are echidnas. They've got pouches too, like roos etc but they lay eggs into theirs & they feed on ants, hence the snout nose designed for sticking down ant holes. They're cuties, they don't try to hurt people & no poison in their spikes or anything (unlike their relative the platypus)
19. "where in Australia do you get a foot of snow" um the "Snowy Mountains" mainly :) Great Dividing Range along the East Coast of the country. We have ski resorts in 2 states (NSW & Victoria). Tassy gets some snow too, but mostly on mountain top looking areas, while the Snowy Mountains get it over a wide area of mixed terrain, including around waterways, hence the "Snowy Mountain Hydroelectric system" that generates large amounts of power from the snow as it melts each year & that looks like a wombat in the snow btw - they're the animal that has cube shaped poos
20 & 21. yup, they're male kangaroos, grunting & displaying dominance. Roos have harems & only the dominate male gets to have a group of girls & the other boys get chased away & we don't have rabies in Australia btw & yup, they act like drunk guys, hence the "boxing kangaroo" & occasional drunk Aussies getting into a punch up with a roo, cause they're kinda too similar to notice the other is a different species when obsessed by claiming a girl/sheila they think belongs to them or engaging in any other reptile brain activities & btw, notice the girl roo just hops off, just before the human girl says "Bruce". Girl roos think about as much of the fighting over them as girl humans do
22. yup, magpie attacking a drone. At least they haven't started taking down hang-gliders & paragliders yet, our wedgetail eagles are the only bird in the world known to intentionally target those & light aircraft & actually attack with enough force to take them down. Magpies have got to the point now of stopping drone deliveries though with their attacks on the drones
So when are you coming to visit Ryan? Can't believe you've never met an Aussie! We need to fix that!
There is no rabies in Australia. That's why Johnny Depp and Amber Heard sneaking their dogs into the country was such a big deal. Note: Bats do carry viruses that a related to rabies such as ABLV (Australian Bat Lyssavirus).
The Australian alps have more snow coverage than Switzerland. No rabies in Australia, no alligators either. Standing up full on its hind legs a big male red kangaroo is not far short of 7ft.
lol, we do NOT have more snow than switzerland.
@@ssp4795 actually we do
@@markward573 We do _in the Winter......._ That is to say, it snows over a larger area during a good ski season in Australia than it does in Switzerland; but it snows more often and over a longer period of time in Switzerland.
@@ssp4795 we do have more snow in the Australian alps on average than switzerland and it's because while switzerland is landlocked, the Aust. Alps are not far from the humid coast, getting more moisture to fall as snow where its colder. This is a well documented fact if you do a few searches.
The bird imitating a rooster is a magpie, and the bird on the ride on mower is a kookaburra - you got the emu right! :)
Love watching your videos I live in Queensland Australia and would love to visit America one day . You are very kind the way you love and talk about Australia I hope you get to visit one day 😁🥰
Possums make homes in the hollows of trees, so there would have been an opening on the other side of the log. It’s sad because now the possum doesn’t have a home.
People make nest boxes for birds and possums in Australia because it takes many years for those hollows to form naturally in big trees.
We don't have alligators in Australia just Crocs. Snags a sausage lol
pretty sure he called it a croc
Where in Australia would you get a foot of snow you ask? The Snowy Mountains of course. It also can snow on the mountains 60 kms away from Sydney in the Blue Mountains and it’s even snowed in southern Queensland which is slightly tropical ( it’s like snow in Florida) .
I find it hilarious on how he misnamed almost all of these animals 😂
That animal in the snow was a wombat, it can make skiing and snowboarding among the trees interesting when they are about.
When Roo's draw themselves up to full height and start scratching it's very much time to back away and give them their space!
New South Wales and Victoria have some of the amazing skiing ⛷️. Australia gets lots of snow ❄️.
The high country, mountains have huge area of snow cover. We have more skiable country than Switzerland. In fact quite a few European ski instructors work ski season in Australia, some from US too.
Do not forget the Canadians who come to work also and take Australians back with them to work in Canadian Skifields.
@@redwarpy yes, for sure, people in ski business all enjoy both winter seasons. But it seems that so many people do not know Australia has significant ski season, and it is very suited to long cross country skiing, as well as some very good downhill areas. Only very rugged high mountains, like European Alps or US Rocky mountains, are lacking, no steep rocky peaks,more rolling hills country all below 2500m altitude.
Well when Switzerland is the size of a postage stamp, it's quite easy.
of course we get european instructors here in THEIR SUMMER. But compared to Japan (another small country) our ski options are pathetic.
There are 356 ski resorts in Switzerland (Schweiz) with 7,033 kilometres of slopes: the ski resorts are served by 1,906 ski lifts. In Australia there are 284 kilometres of slopes: the ski resorts are served by 141 ski lifts.
The croc which did the “crocodile snap” in the first clip is missing a front leg which reduces its speed dramatically, hence the only reason they were allowing the ladies get that close. Also there are no gators in Australia just crocs and unlike alligators which some people can be in the water with simultaneously there is absolutely NO CHANCE of getting into the water with a salt water crocodile without being attacked and most likely killed. Nice vid Ryan!! 👍
Well done! You pronounced emu correctly 😊
The spider web blankets and spiders everywhere on raised objects means they got flooded recently. Spiders everywhere do this to survive flooding.
You should see if you can watch the vid about the Australian Lyre Bird and all its imitations. The more calls, the more partners!
As for the spiders - floods can cause get-togethers as they come in off the ground to get away from the waters. The blankets are a rarity in the city, but not unusual in rural areas.
The Australian snow fields cover more land than the whole of Switzerland.
The magpie was the bird that made the chicken sound. The other bird was a kookaburra. Was also a kookaburra who stole the sausage
Chicken sound ???? LMFAO
You mean ROOSTER you nob, Chicken's don't wake people up at the crack of dawn
That's a Kookaburra 🤣🤣 you need an ABC on aussie animals 🤣🤣
He really does, but it'll make a good video.
watch video the bird song . a heap of au ssie birds in that
Firstly, Australia has more snow than the Swiss Alps. We have several fantastic ski resorts
Also that bird you thought was a magpie was actually a kookaburra
That WAS a magpie that sounded like a rooster
We don’t have porcupines in Australia. Those were echidnas
(Pronounced eekidna)
And that animal in the snow was a wombat.
The dog that jumped on the shark at the beach was a Kelpie - awesome Aussie dogs also available in the US
The grunting noise is either the kangaroo buck or a koala buck (buck = male) doing their mating song.
The animal stuffing about in the snow is a wombat - wombies are sooo cool!!! 🤗
Magpies normally sing and chortle, the one that sounds like a rooster, has copied the sound and probably lived in a barn yard.
Ryan crocodiles are found only in the outback and tropics not major cities, so you never see them apart from a zoo.
He pronounced Emu right 👏
It was a wombat in the snow. Yes, we get snow and not necessarily in the mountains. There’s a place in Queensland where it snows and I’ve been to the snowfields in NSW but I never actually saw the process of “snowing” until I went to the USA.
I didn’t realise each flake has its own separate pattern. Deb Mailman and I danced together in the snow and made a snowman. We were like little kids.
When and where has it ever snowed in Queensland?
Spiders coating the garden and fence are when the area is flooded in the hot months when spiders are breeding and the only nearby "high ground" was the garden and fence. Adds extra joy to floods in rural Australia. (You can hear the cameraman is walking in water if you listen)
Love the reaction to the spiders! 😂
I recommend you look up Tim Minchin. Australian composer and former comedian. His song PREJUDICE is genius.
He also wrote the score for the stage musical Matilda.
🤣🤣🤣Thank you 🙏🏻 for sharing this Ryan 👍🏻WMH🇦🇺
Firstly - There's probably only about ONE Aussie female who would let a Huntsman crawl on her face 'for fun' and that was her!
I had no idea Crocodiles could swim that bloody fast either! Sheeeeez!
A "snag' is a sausage, as in "Throw another snag on the Barbie mate" &
The webs... you see them when there's been flooding and they move UP out of the water. Not very often - or at least not where I live. I guess there's probably just as many on the ground and all around here too - I just don't see them - and that's just FINE with me!
Magpies are very smart birds and can mimic all kinds of sounds - but that's the 1st time I heard one do a cock crow.
That was a Kookaburra on the ride on and yes a magpie taking exception to a drone.
You're getting there - almost said EeeMYouuu correctly. 🤣
the 'porcupines' were echidna. The 2nd 'magpie' was a kookaburra.
That kangaroo video is a perfect example of aussies haha love the videos keep up the good work.
A snag is a sausage.
The magpie was the bird on the fence with the cat. What you thought was a magpie was a kookaburra.
We don't have sloths in Australia. And the porcupine was actually an echidna, one of only 2 known monotreme (egg laying mammals. The other is the platypus).
Yes, it snows in parts of NSW, Victoria and Tasmania.
I live at the foot of the Victorian snow fields and we have a thriving ski season for about 3-4 months a year.1.3 Meters of snow right now.
"that's a magpie"
me wheezing of laughter
I'm glad he tried. its a kookaburra
The Magpie is such a good mimic with that rooster call.
I swear one near me learned to say "f**k off yah bastard"......but his accent was terrible!
As an Aussie woman I would never happily have a giant spider (harmless or not) crawling on my face. Nor would anyone else I know. That's definitely not a common occurrence here lol.
It snows in 3 states here. In parts of NSW, Victoria and Tasmania.
The Australian Alps gets more snow fall per year than the Swiss Alps. It's snowing in parts of Aus now. Check out some videos / vlogs of NSW or Victorian snow .
The spider is mostly harmless if you're not an insect. Don't think I'd be game to put one on my face, though!
@@urizen7613 oh i know it's harmless. But what I mean is I wouldn't put one on my face, that's definitely not a thing people do here.
@@Teagirl009 Better a huntsman than a giant centipede.
As an Aussie woman you should be aware that it can, and has, snowed in every state in Australia - just a Qlder here putting that on record 😉
Huntsmans are not altogether harmless I got bitten by a huntsman once and the bite was like an ulcer for about 3 months, the scar lasted for years ... I spoke to our local chemist when the bite did not clear up and he had just written a thesis about the infamous "white tailed spider" which he concluded was not a necrosis poison he explained to me that any spider bite can be dangerous as the spiders mouth is full of bacteria ... Definatly DON'T let one crawl across ya face ..
Yep, that last one was a magpie. The bird who thought he was a rooster was a magpie. The one sitting on the steering wheel of whatever that dude was sitting on was a kookaburra.
Echidna, kookaburra, wombat, and yes we have amazing snowfalls. You must come down under💖🇦🇺 id love to see you do the Nullabor roadtrip across our beautiful country.
Emu's ain't dangerous, they are just nosey and curious. I saw a running club video where they go out and run in bush reserve and there's an emu that's friendly and likes to go running with them all the time. 😜
They're dangerous when they run out in front of a car traveling at high speed tho!
Pleased to hear you pronounce emu correctly... well nearly correctly. It is eem-you. Most Americans call them e-moos which is VERY irritating.
Dumb as a box of rocks though
They can certainly defend themselves with their sharp toes.
Gday. A kookaburra took the sausage (snag) and was sitting on the mower. The magpie sounded like a rooster. I have never seen spiders like that and I grew up on farms! Think it was a black tip reef shark. They're echidnas and they lay eggs! That was a wombat in the Snowy Mountains. Yes it was a magpie attacking the drone. lol
My guess is Dog Shark, as they're the only ones I've seen doing that aerial backflip thing. Actually there was two, the second looked a bit like a black tip.
Oh!! And you said E-MEW!!!!!! Yaaaayyyyyyyyy!!!!!!
Love all your videos.
Porcupine = echidna... they are soo adorable, ive had them at my house and walked them back to the reserve that leads onto a national park. We dont have rabies in oz... thats why quarantine is very precious n strict here, we dont want that crap here. Yes its a maggie at the end... they will attack u on the ground, in the water and the sky... nowhere is safe!! hahaha
Definitely a croc and not an alligator.
The bird flew in to get the sausage (snag)
The possum would have already been in the tree, mostly likely had crawled in through a hole somewhere, and the guys had cut down the tree with a chainsaw. "Sucking it in hard" meaning the possum was holding its breath and trying to get as small as possible, so the chainsaw didn't chop it in half. LOL
That was a kookaburra on the ride on lawnmower.
They were Echidnas, not porcupine! LOL
There's a few regions in the south east (NSW and Victoria) that get snow each winter as well as the high country in Tasmania.
It looked like a magpie chasing the drone
Another good video mate, well done.
Love, love, love your reactions, they're honest, your not afraid to say it as you believe you understand it, thanks for learning about us... 😃😃😃 BTW please update on baby due date, 👍
sitting on the steering wheel of the ride on lawn mower was a Kookaburra, Magpies are specifically black and white, 1 earlier crowed like a rooster, that was a Magpie !Roos make a cough barking type sound if they are aggitated
Do me a favor, pronounce Aussie as Auzzie.
Everyone seems to have commented on the other animals, but the one in the snow was a wombat if you didn't know. Kookaburra's and Magpies are both very intelligent birds. Listen to the laugh of a Kookaburra it will surprise you.
loved the video, also yeah its cold down south, Southern NSW, Victoria and Tasmania all get snow and have ski resorts!
Our ski slops get more snow than the swiss alps. And we don't have porcupines that was an echidna.
Jacked Roo: *Scratching himself*
Ryan: “I’d take offence to that.”
As others have said yes we do have snow in winter, though it snowed in the high land's of Tasmania on Christmas Day a few years ago which made the news
For context, Christmas day in Australia is in our summer
@@lynnmahony544
Yes, it snowed in the high Alpine area of Tasmania on Christmas Day roughly 10 or 15 years ago.
In the first month of summer
We have snow in the snowy mountains in N.S.W and the “porcupine “ was actually an Echidna. It was a wombat in the snow and the “magpie” was a kookaburra…love your videos appreciating our country
I live 35 minutes from one of our ski resorts, Mt Hotham and 45 minutes from Falls Ck. So far this
season Hotham has had 370cm (12’4”) of snow. As someone else said, we have more snow by
area (not volume) than Switzerland. This is the coldest winter I have experienced in the area and
although at the base of the mountains, not at altitude, we’ve had a lot of days of minus 4 and 5C.
We do have snow -- in the southern alps. The area is larger than Switzerland. From approx May to September
Snag is a sausage. And kookaburras are great at this. We had a shelter up, and eating hot dogs for breakfast. When a kookaburra flew passed me, stole the snag from my grandson's bun, ( who was sitting on my left). And took off. Grandson was left with bun, cheese, onions, BBQ sauce, minus sausage.
Hello Ryan, Julian here from Oz. The bird crowing like a rooster was a magpie and the bird on the steering wheel of the mower was a Kookaburra which makes the sound of laughter.
No we do not have Porcupines, we do have Echidna which are toothless mammals that eat ants with their long tongues. Harmless creatures.
Regarding where the snow is, well you get snow in N.S.W which Sydney is the capital and Victoria which Melbourne is the capital.
Yes, the last one was a Magpie.
Take care, Ryan, good job.
Kangaroos are not be treated lightly. They can disembowel you with one kick. My Grandfather kept a few dogs for Roo hunting on his farm. Every year, he would lose 1 or 2 to Roos.
The wombat in the snow was most likely here in Tasmania and, not only do we get snow in winter but, every once in a while we even get snow in the middle of summer (Dec-Feb). I've had a few white Christmases in my lifetime :)
Love your reaction.
Black n white ones are our magpies. The one on the lawn
Mower and Snag (sausage cooked on a bbq) were both kookaburras. Yes that’s the sound a male kangaroo makes when he’s not happy. We do get snow here. In the high country in New South Wales and Victoria as well as Tasmania. The critter walking through the snow is a wombat and the porcupine looking animals are Echidna- their spikes are to protect themselves rather than hurting others.
Thank you for your video. Loved it.
The spiders come out like that during flooding events.
As for the huntsman on the face … they’re not dangerous but I wouldn’t do that either. That lady obviously has no fear or arachnids 🕷
My home Australia 🇦🇺 is full of beauty and uniqueness.
I love this dude so innocent yet inquisitive, Send Ryan to Australia he'd love it.
Him: is that an ei-moo….e-muuiio?
Mate an emu… just 3 letters not that hard…😂
The Snowy Mountains are inland South East Australia. Around Mt Kosciusko and Thredbo. Snow falls anywhere along the Great Dividing Range.
NSW / Victoria high country is where our snowy mountains are. They also get snow in Tasmania. More snow than Switzerland. We'll ocasionally get snow here in Canberra. Have a look at places like Jindabyne, Perisher, Blue Cow, Thredbo, Charlottes Pass, Mt Hotham. Massive hydro electric scheme called The Snowy Hydro started in 1949 and now Snowy Hydro 2 expansion works are underway.
came across your channel by accident but loving it... we forget that others may see us differently
The bird that mimicked a rooster and bombed the drone are magpies. The bird that was chilling on the steering wheel and stole a snag (sausage) are kookaburras. They are easy to tell apart. The magpie will dive bomb you in spring to protect their nests. Kookaburras are gutsy creatures who will steal food out of your hand, lap or plate at any time of the year.
The crocodile stunt is just ... crazy. Snag = sausage. The bird was a kookaburra (look up laughing kookaburra). Arse = Ass. Sucking his arse in when the dude sawed through the tree! That possum had a lucky escape! The bird on the mower is a Kooraburra. And yes, that's an E-MEW (emu). Eww spiders. Aussie spiders are friendly :D And that was a roo and yes, they can swim. Not a porcupine - an echidna. Yes, it snows here too and we have great ski resorts.
We have lots of areas in Australia where it snows, we even have ski resorts. It snows in New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania.
This comment is so random on a month old video, but I just wanted to say I’ve watched all you other Europe videos on your othwr channels, and now I’m watching the Australia ones even though I have never cared that much about Australia. I enjoy your commentary, you have a spark for entertainment, and you are concious of the editing details like sound. I hope it works out for you in your life.
And yes, we have snow. The southern part of Australia is close to the Antarctic. But the snow is usually in the mountains. We have many different ski fields you can go to.
You’re a funny bastard!!!
Porcupines 🤣🤣 Then Calling a Kookaburra a Magpie!
I love this bloke !!! 😂
More ! More! 😂🤣
We actually get a lot of snow in Australia..well NSW VIC and Tasmania do. We have a number of huge ski resorts as well.
Even over here in Western Australia has a couple of places that get a little bit of snow occasionally
The top of the mountain ranges overlooking Canberra have snow on them now, so the wind chill factor makes it brisk around here. ❄
We have numerous ski resorts across three states (NSW, Victoria and Tasmania). Aussies are great skiers (many taught by Austrian and German instructors from the 1960s onwards).
Sure u do - that's why plane loads of ozzies fly to Queenstown New Zealand during the season- it's the party capital
@@edward9643 Much cheaper to ski New Zealand, that's why so many go there. I spent the best year of my life in Queenstown. Loved every moment and never wanted to leave.
@@marionthompson3365 aww Marion - I passed that on and Tourism New Zealand want u to discuss an advertorial contract - maybe find yourself a lawyer and agent.
@@marionthompson3365 i spent a decade in W.A - the most action packed years of my life
Magpies are just protecting their babies, kookaburras are cheeky. I've never seen spiders like that. My dogs once chased roos into our dam, that's when i learned they swim just fine!
8:24 @Ryan asked „Where In Australia you find snow?“ The Snowy Mountains region in the south-east falls in the alpine climate or subpolar oceanic climate zone…
Australia's experiences a variety of climatic conditions, primarily due to the vast size of the continent. There are six distinct climate groups; Equitorial, Tropical, Sub-tropical, Desert, Grassland and Temperate.
Australia is about 1.3 times smaller than United States.
The bird on the steering wheel of the mower is a kookaburra, the snow is most definitely in the mountains (the only place you find snow in Australia), and the spiney critter is called an echidna (ee- kid- na). I think the bird that took the guys snag (sausage), was a magpie, as was the one imitating a cockerel, and the one attacking the drone; and yes, these are the birds that will swoop at you, if you’re near their nest. They’re brazen as mate.
The snow was Tassie. I remember the footage on our news last year.
The black and white bird imitating the rooster was a Magpie. The bird sitting on the steering wheel was a Kookaburra.
The bird with cat was a Magpie, the bird on the steering wheel is a Kookaburra.
Also I believe flashing by grabbing the "Snag", a local term for grilled sausage, bird is hard to identify because it is fast and blurred but likely a kookaburra by colours.
Kookaburras will stake out your bbq or picnic and wait for an opportunity to snatch something. They are the largest species in the Kingfisher family, and are known to prey on Lizards and Snakes of decent size. I have seen a Kookaburra catch, kill and fly off with a Common Tree Snake maybe 80cm long. So grabbing your freshly cooked snag is probably a far easier meal.
Him: 🫵 that’s a magpie right?
Every Aussie ever: 🤦♀️🤦🤦♂️
Put Oz on your list, wonderful country as is New Zealand. Yes and Oz has snow, mountains and skiing!
We were at Maccas in Airlie Beach a couple of years ago and a kookaburra stole my husbands entire cheeseburger - it was hilarious - the entire outdoor area erupted in laughter and the staff offered him a replacement - apparently it's a regular occurrence there, he's a regular 🤣🤣🤣
Maggie's are black & white, kookaburras are little brown birds with big beaks. Emus look like ostrich, & cassowary is a emu with a lump on top of their head. (Cassowary is the most dangerous bird in the world).
