I have a 12 inch trouser snake that i handle every day.

I fed a pair at the national zoo Canberra, they did this cute interchange where they basically spun their heads around and bobobobobo rapidly

I agree with your 1st point about venomous and nonvenomous snakes not being capable of interbreeding, however due to the complexity of classification, there are lots of weird cases where snakes from different genus can hybridize. Pythons from many different genus are particularly good at this. Ive seen Aspidites x Python, Python X Malayopython, Morelia x Python, Liases x Morelia, etc. Some of the viable combinations are quite unexpected. The classification of pythons is still being worked on from what i understand. I may be wrong, but from what I have heard, there seems to be disagreement over whether pythons originated in Australia or Africa. Ive also heard arguments can be made that most pythons could be classed as part of the actual python genus, and some people think that they should be, but with exceptions like Aspidites, Apadora and Liases. Weirdly enough though, even some of those genus can hybridize with members of the genus python. So im not sure what to think. It seems to me that there is a lot more genetic work that needs to be done to get to the bottom of it all. I still dont think any python could hybridize with a venomous snake though. Venomous snakes on the other hand can occasionally hybridize, but they still dont seem to be able to hybridize with other genus as easily as members of Pythonidae do.

In New Zealand, the owl is either called a Morepork or a Ruru Owl, are they the same thing though? Boobook and Ruru?

Hats off to you and all Coastal Taipan handlers. I got close to a good size one and that snake was fast. The scary thing with me is as a kid I would have 100% free handled it like I did with Easter Browns in Adelaide. I doubt I would have been fast enough! I was crazier back then but you need to be skilled with a taipan if its skitchy like the snake I did a youtube on a month ago. So hats off to you mate. Andre

I suppose the claims are based on measurements, to my limited lay enthusiast knowledge though Black Mamba and Cobra bite victims get critical far more rapidly and deteriorate towards death much much faster than brown snake victims unless treated with antivenom.

Australia: Most venomous snake Most venomous spider Largest reptile Cane toads Kangaroos All surrounded by white sharks, box jellyfish and sea snakes. No thanks, Im good

Love the straightforward style of this video- no overly dramatic music or stretching out the run time, just interesting facts presented well. Great job!

Awesome and informative great work

They look like ancient sea creatures.

The fangs I remember dad used to say long trousers when you go down the creek because the place is infested with Eastern brown snakes and now I know why dad sad that and have never ever seen so many of them in the one place and that’s at Churchill South East Queensland Australia incidentally snake season is not very far away either yeah Spring coming up now and it’s starting to warm up too

Is that a male it looks like a male snake

if you see my comment I am wondering if the clone of the mother has its own awareness and understanding, or if it’s a legit clone with all the same neurological characteristics of the mother….if that makes sense?😂 by the way sound quality is fine lmao I’ve heard Waaaaaay worse man.

Don't muck with it. Steve Erwin r.i.p

The Brazilian wondering spider is 7,000,000,000 times☠️☠️☠️ more venomous than the Sydney Funnel web spider

I’ve just seen this & im so sorry you’re going through this. I know you’ve probably looked at alternative therapies, have you looked into RSO (Rick stein oil) it’s cannabis based, we all have a natural cannabinoid system, there have been some fantastic results taking it…tumours shrinking, skin cancer being cured etc. im going to start taking it for NETs cancer, as I can’t have an op due to COPD

That little buddy works at a comic book shop in a city called O-town.

Awe! It’s so cute! 🦔

Nick, you are a legend!

Wow Ben you are one lucky man

In case you didn’t know it.. evolution is a mere theory, and an incorrect theory at that. So get rid of that narrative re “evolution”.

Why on earth do you keep waving your hands around right by the spider??? You trying to get bitten? What an idiot.

In far cry 3 game i seen this bird attack dangerously

I saw a male Wallaroo north of Bathurst he was massive and muscle-bound

Are Dingo Dogs a thing if not then how do you domesticate animals? Pls tell us

They’re only dangerous if you invade their environment. I had two as pets & you couldn’t get a more protective, loving, loyal K9.

Someone please remind dude what happened to Steve Irwin

But does it know the way?

Great point you made… it’s a misconception… Black Mamba, Inland taipan and Costal are the 3 most deadly snakes The clips of Dingo’s video and the aggressive Black Mamba.. the Mamba are aggressive however the Mamba the entire time was just trying to get away from Dingo

I thought bandicoot was a made up creature for the game, I recently found out that they are in fact, very real animals. And absolutely adorable ❤

The spider is me at work

I'm gonna put it out here that the "redback under the dunny seat lid" legend probably dates to a time the dunny seat lid usually consisted of wooden construction. Imho thats a habitat preference:, I've almost never disturbed one in anything other than material of this medium. Invariably, for me, this spider hangs out in piled wood, heaped old cardboard boxes, garbage packed in cardboard, stacks of printing paper, timber and timber products. But not so much around polymers like nylon/plastic for its own sake. If these guys are colonising your corner of the globe, and you have to throw out old junk, garbage like flat-packed stacks of old cardboard boxes, or shovel wood chip mulch heaps, wood crates, collect firewood, doodle on dead trees, handle sawn timber left standing any length of time, in fact wooden anything, up to and including office paper and dusty desks, then be wary. Lignins and cellulitic compounds is their comfort blanket.

Basically, it’s Mother Natures idea of a joke. Create a spider deadly to mammals on a land that had no mammals.

Im taking his word for it.

My goodness, life can be hard. God bless you mate.

I think you need to kiss it.

Dont feed the wildlife... opens with feeding the wildlife lol

Flying puppies.

Why didn’t you show the pouch

If it is a girl then it's not the most venomous...; although the male Sydney FW is physically smaller, it is more venomous.

I've recon I've move 10 / 15 of these so laconic little fellas of Roads , they slow , and they wee on you , buggers , haha , but the move at a foot a minute, and 100 kph cars, so , the thought of them getting hit I know they have a barb so wrap thick jacket , no expert , but as soon as you put them down , they try to dig so get them well off the road in soft earth , once you go they amble off gotta love them, R

They're fascinating creatures.

THE PAPUAN/ COASTAL TAIPAN OXYURANUS SCUTELLATUS/KANAHI ,THEY ARE EVOLVING SLOWLY

They look crazy and mean!

hope you're well mate

Nice vid, now squash it lol

The one I encountered wasn't small. They exist here in perth in the burbs.

DNA tests have show dingos are a subset of domesticated dog
