We get it. You probably hear in Australia all the time that other people are worried about the dangers that come with your country. Meanwhile, you all are just living your every day life not even giving a thought to all of the deadly things around you...I'm sure it's not that bad lol

The narrator has the worst attempted Australian accent I have ever heard.
Was thinking the same thing... AL-bury? Not a local it seems. And strAHnds of web??? Strands maybe.
Sounds kiwi
It made me cringe pretty hard
@@Spankedchicken no
The narrators Australian accent is so off putting and I'm only halfway through the clip! Where did they get this guy??
All these animals are a total lie, none of these scare Australians. What scares us is magpies...
Hell yeah, aggro little mother truckers 😂
1st. when it come's to magpie's you need a juggernaut suit just today ( 8/10/21) a one year old was killed by one. 2nd. im australian and im shit scared of snakes and spiders unless it's a daddy long legs i let them be but everything else well....nuke it and then nuke it again to be safe.
@@ashleytaylor896 One of the most unnecessary enumerations I have ever come across. You realise by doing so, it did no favour to your comment?
yea, a magpie caused a babies death a few days ago.
@@ashleytaylor896 in Australia, we put the day first, then the month. What you wrote means the date is 8th of October. If you really are Australian, you'd know that.
It's always amusing for me to hear about Americans talking about our "dangerous" animals. You know what we don't have? Bears, Mountain Lions, Wolves, and I'm completely okay with that.
Aussie Aussie Aussie oi oi oi
@Michael Rogers Exactly!!! Good quarantine and customs policies!
There’s no anti venom for bears
@@micko11154 I dunno if it's true, but I learnt that the reason rabies hasn't reached Australia, and other southern hemisphere countries, is because back in the old day when ships travelled to them, the animals that were diseased would simply become too sick and die on the way over, and their bodies tossed overboard. Therefore rabies never had the chance to establish with our wild animals, and when transport got better, people realised; "hey, maybe we should double check every new person and animal that enters, and make sure they aren't carrying deadly diseases? 🤔".
(I'm not saying you're wrong btw, cus customs is definitely the reason we don't have rabies in the present day).
@@theperson8049 Nah, I don't think so because diseases used to hop their way around from port to port and thus they crept around the world but we did start quarantine pretty early in Australia.
Whats with the narrators accent 🤣🤣🤣 Its like 8 accents condensed into 1 and none of them are Australian 🤣🤣🤣
I was laughing hearing him speak cause it doesn't sound Australian, sounds like someone trying to fake an Aussie accent 😂🍺
Being an aussie... we dont see all of these animals on a daily basis... roos are a daily thing.. and drop bears are terrifying
OMG, drop bears! Don't even go there. Shudder.
:))
Yeah, I lost a mate to droppers during uni. They attempted to go to the ecological survey site alone... I warned him to pee on his head but he didn't. There wasn't much to send back to Malaysia.
My grandad was in ww2 he and two other were ambushed by a tribe of drop bears during training in the bushes.lots of scars...
@@mikemahmoud6563 And they survived? Must have been Victorian drop bears.
The most dangerous is the Karen but this species is not just remote to Australia.😂
Hahaha
And drop bears and hoop snakes
@D M , "I've done every street in Brighton".... Bless poor Karen😅😂🤣
Haha but the Bunnings Karen is exclusive to Australia
@@crazymusicchick I didn't want sauce on my sausage, I wanted ketchup, 🌭
Its actually fairly rare to see a really deadly animal here and they will mostly leave you alone if you don't bother them so not much to worry about don't be scared of Australia
Only rare if you live in a big shitty city like Sydney , I see multiple deadly snakes each week here without leaving my property , When i do get out i see them everywhere . ✌️
@@aussieguy3689 I live well in the bush and deadly snakes still don't make much of an appearance and they will still mostly leave you alone
@@gavinsaunders4934 Browns , red bellies and even the odd tiger snake absolutely love my place don't know what it is but i see snakes almost everyday , Probably depends where you're at . Breeding season it's not uncommon to be chased by a red belly or a taipan they are aggressive buggers .
@@aussieguy3689 I live in Melbourne fairly close to the city but with a creek and big park lands close. I see at least one snake every summer while walking the dog...they are usually just chilling out getting some sun not bothering anyone
Tourists in Australia if you’re in the city you’re most likely fine if you’re in the bush more dangerous but still probably safe enough
But if you poke a fuckin deadly snake with a stick it will bite you hell if someone pokes me with a stick I would most likely punch them
With the Sydney Funnel Web Spider. the guy forgot to mention that it is an aggressive spider and has been known to chase people. It also loves to live in dry, warm places which is why people find them in their homes. They hide in shoes, under clothes on the floor etc and they vary in size depending on their gender. Because of this an episode of Pepper Pig was banned in Australia, as Pepper was telling children that spiders aren't dangerous and instead of killing them just relocate them. Which in Australia is not sound advice.
No more scare tactics. There are enough online. A squillion that are just false or misleading or both! Any spider can hide in your shoe (you just check before you put them on!) and clothes shouldn't be on the floor. Children shouldn't be scared of spiders just know how to treat them. Huntsmen spiders are large but they are completely harmless. Sydney isn't Australia either.
spiders are an important part of the eco-system, and it is not hard to re-locate them outside (unless you live with a lot of bugs.) ...well, some can run a bit fast, but huntsmen are awesome and live for several years. And just a few years back the oldest known trapdoor spider died at 46 years old, in Western Australia I think it was. We recently had a medium sized one step out of it's exoskeleton on the lounge room wall. Very cool! The bird eaters I'm not so fond of. Had one fall on to my bare foot one night when I picked up the cloth to cover the budgie cage. That was hysterical! My daughter used to like finding huntmen exo-skeletons and put them in her hair or something before getting on the school bus. But country kids are like that!
Yep. I relocate every spider, except fiddle backs. Don't any rotten flesh on my family members.
@@katetoner3077 Kate you would not relocate no Sydney funnel web spider.
I lived in Sydney for 15 years. My husband was often involved in the capture of funnelwebs to be taken for milking. Where I live now, there are always huntsmen in the house, which we like. But yes, funnelwebs are dangerous.
Excuse me? Steve irwin wasn’t attacked by a sting ray. He swam too close and it accidentally killed him. It didn’t mean to. Don’t go around claiming dumbassery if you haven’t done research fr.
That voice over attempt at the Australian accent is the scariest part.
As an Aussie I couldn’t watch this video for more than 5 minutes without being horrified by the accent of the narrator
It sounds like a cross between 1940s transatlantic and New Zealand
You have alligators - nothing like a Salty [saltwater crocodile] Salties can leap out of the water and take bats and birds from trees. They can also run very fast on land for short distances - they are killers through and through.
Also said that a alligator will try and get away from a boat the crocodile would want to get in the boat.
@Michael Rogers american crocodiles are completely different from Australian and south East Asian salt water crocodiles
@Michael Rogers Florida doesn't have saltwater crocodiles. They have the American crocodile not saltie. Totally different
@Kurdaicha 1870 Florida's crocodiles are indeed rare but they are also little. Smaller than alligators I think.
Poor little gators... I already feel sorry for them. Their crocs, more so.
@@aymonfoxc1442 should send a couple of salties over let them say hello to the little alligators, see who ends up on top then 😉👍🇦🇺
This is one of the worst fake Australian accents I've ever heard.
Sounds like a Texan who saw Crocodile Dundee once twenty years ago.
I have lived in a number of different regions of Australia during my 60 plus years... Other than being bitten by a red backed spider many years ago, I have never been attacked by any of the other creatures mentioned. As an old friend of mine used to say..."more snakes have seen people, than people have seen snakes."
Most of the fear mongering is pretty much based on urban legends.
Except for the north, just be careful in the bush up here
If this was a list done by an actual aussie, magpies would have been #1
why is the narrator doing a fake Aussie accent
Bloody annoying ain't it .. almost unbearable.
When your talking about the weather. Try living in Melbourne. We go through every season in one day.
"4 seasons in one day", is a well known saying in Melbourne....I like it
@@carolcarol3938 just 2 days ago, it was beautiful sunny/sunny weather up until 3pm and then it started to rain and then around 30 minutes later there was thunder.
Fun fact: during WW2 Redback and black widow strand webs were used to make the crosshairs of aircraft gun sights
New Guinea does have it's own genus of tree kangaroos and there is also something of a plague of wild wallabies in the UK.
Edit: you guys really need to watch a video on dingoes. They may not look like wolves but they are very definitely different from dogs and wolves.
The wild Wallabies in the UK are escapees from a private collection many years ago,they have adapted very well to the climate .
@@jono.pom-downunder yeah, I'm aware, hence the phrase "plague" 😅
But yeah, they also live in colder alpine climates here so it makes sense, but it was real wild to find out.
@@plaidshirt9955 from recollection donkeys years ago, Aspinalls zoo keeps popping in to my head, but I wouldn't put ££ on it I've been out of the UK for 30 yrs now
@@jono.pom-downunder that's classic
Lol wallabys taking over the poms
Apart from all the media hype, just remember that the creature that kills more Australians than the other, is the horse. 77 people died between 2008 and 2017. Mainly results of accidents on farms.
That is misinformation. It's not the horses that kill people, more like stupidity on behalf of the people trying to ride them or catch them.
@@flamingfrancis 👍 True story.
My neighbour choked on an IKEA meatball. His death certificate listed cause of death as equine mishap.
@@RadioSnivins I'd like to see that :)
I have lived in Australia for nearly 50 years and I have never had a confirmed sighting of a Platypus. Lots of big splashes but they could have been fish.
Depends on where you live. I've been lucky enough to have seen several platypus. You need to be in the right spot at the right time. The right time i first light or just before dark. Any you must be vewwy vewwy quiet.
How about drop bears?
@@Rick-da-scale I've never seen a drop bear but I've heard the terrifying noise they make.
I have a pair of them in the river down the bottom of the farm but they are the only ones I have ever seen in my life the old yabbie nets that used to be used newly wiped them all out that’s why they are now illegal
Need to get out and do some traveling , camping and spend some time on creeks and streams , You will see some if you go looking for them . ✌️
I grew up in Sydney and one morning my mum woke me up for school when I was in grade 1 and lifted my pillow up to make my bed and a female funnel web spider was under my pillow and reared up at her. I’m still here! Gotta love Straya!
Please do a Jim Jeffries reaction, I always find it fascinating watching American’s react to ‘gun control’.
That sell out compulsive liar who edits those he interviews and chops and changes answers to suit different questions then once busted on film when the real unedited version is released runs away and then years later when he does address the issue lies about it. The guys a total shill asshole creepo
@@TCM215 but he can be funny
@@pensiveboogie not anymore..
How are fruit bats on the list, they are basically just dogs with wings and theyre harmless to humans. Look up cute fruit bat on google and tell me their still scary
How about dancing fruit bats?
czcams.com/video/G9A8PFlqM4U/video.html
I suppose they can carry rabies but I agree, they're pretty much harmless.
@@indigo6067 yeah but not proper rabies, just rabies-lite. Theres no true rabies in Australia
It's true that in my part of Australia I have to worry about saltwater crocodiles, bull sharks, various stingers and a wide variety of spiders, but at least none of them carry assault rifles
You might think flying foxes look cool but if you smelt a colony you’d not think they were cool.
To me a colony of flying foxes smells like a skunk hit by a car!!
@@razorblade136 that had been dead for a week.
The bee with the blue stripes that you paused on is called a Blue Banded bee. A harmless Australian native that is much loved by Aussie gardeners. The European honeybee on the other hand is one of the worst introduced feral pests that is having a devastating impact on native Australian plants and animals.
Honey bee? Scary? Bit harsh.
Our ticks are paralysis ticks, I lost one of my dogs to a tick. within a a day and a half - kaput. Their is antedote but very expensive and has to be used very early on
Tea tree oil will kill the ticks & will counter the poison
Hey Phezz 👋
Came across this older vid. When I was kinda married 😅 we had a Dingo, Bull Terrier and Red heeler cross. He was pure white with red spots under his fur and was the most loving Dog I'd ever had. BUT, if anyone walked past or entered our front yard, he'd go crazy barking loudly. He would attack if someone hurt anyone of us. I miss him so. Keep up the great work 👍
Many Australian animals are marsupials - means having a pouch in which the young are raised. Marsupials are not unique to Australia but about ⅔ of them live here. Apparently marsupials are found in South America, and probably in Papua New Guinea and Indonesia
Some species of magpies are territorial and swoop to protect their nests from perceived predators, usually in the spring breeding season. Nothing to be scared of.I have lived in Australia for decades, and have rarely come across scary creatures. I have twice seen redbacks around my house in Melbourne. Most of us don’t go out of our way to put ourselves in danger, so scary tags are a bit of a beat-up. I’d be more scared of coming across bears, mountain lions and rabid animals (we don’t have rabies in Australia - the only continent to be rabies free I believe). Also the video leaves out a couple of really scary creatures - drop bears (killer Koalas), and hoop snakes
Flying foxes are beautiful, if smelly! My hometown has one of the largest populations of flying foxes in NSW. We have a stand of rainforest and they live there. The nursery is based in the rainforest but they travel to outlying areas to feed, mostly on fruit trees and the palm tree in our back yard 😁
You get used to them and they aren't dangerous.
Yes. Ticks are a massive issue. They are very hard to find once they’re attached to you and they make you really sick. Or dead. And when you go to the doctor after finding a tick (personal experience here) you have to get an incredibly painful anti-venom/tick/poison shot.
Australians don't usuaully get annoyed at Americans only talking about our deadly animals. We usually laugh at your reactions to these animals which often aren't scary at all to us. Then we make up fake scary animals to see if you will be scared of those too.
The Fierce Snake used to be called the Inland Tipan as it was thought to be a Tipan is not aggressive however the Costal Tipan is very aggressive if cornered and will strike repeatedly 2.5 m long and is the 3rd most venomous snake in the world. The is also Brown Snake is very aggressive if cornered 2nd in the world 2m long and the Mulga AKA King Brown 3.3m long in the top 20 most venomous 11 I think.
Stingrays are very docile, you would have to really annoy one for it to sting you. I've had close encounters with many stingrays in South Australia and felt very safe (the largest was about eight feet across).
I accidently stood on a ray in very shallow murky sea water. It was the most painful injury I have ever had!
The male platypus has the barb but if you can see one in the wild you are extremely lucky. It is very very rare to see them.
The dingos don't generally attack people, when they have its been because people have been feeding them.
The funnel web spider is only a small spider, maybe just a little bigger than an inch. Always check your shoes in the morning in Sydney lol
A paralysis tick will kill your best friend (dog).
Some data I just researched for you:
Of the world's 335 species of marsupial ("pouched mammals" - the group to which kangaroos, koalas and wombats belong) around 250 are only found in Australia, 120 in South America and 1 species (the Virginia opossum) in North America.
All 5 remaining species of monotreme (egg-laying mammal) are found only in Australia. These are the platypus (the only venomous mammal in the world, notwithstanding drop bears) and four species of echidna.
All our mammals are marsupials. Of our two monotremes, you can also find echidnas in Papua New Guinea. We have migratory birds found in other places, and dingoes, monotremes, some insects and arachnids of the same family are found in other countries too
14:20 Talking about bull sharks, shows a picture of a gray Nurse shark (not as aggressive or dangerous but has scary looking teeth)
The last recorded death of a Red Back Spider was in 1955 and it takes 2 hours to take effect. Red Backs are easy to handle in your house, use Daddy Long Legs, they will fight the Red Back for territory. I had A LOT in my garage, I caught a few Daddy Long Legs and set them loose inside the garage, and had no trouble since. Sharks don't sleep but have "restful periods". They need to constantly swim, to keep water moving over their gills.
We also have a lot of plants and tree that are also poisons. I wish could remember the CZcams account that tells you all about them. To kill a spider without going to close is spray hair spray.
The inland taipan is highly venomous but fairly docile ... it is the coastal taipan that may strike repeatedly. You have alligators and American crocodiles which are absolute kitty-cats compared to the Australian salties.
Check out the navy diver in sydney harbour attacked by bull shark. This occurred some years ago and the diver survived but minus some limbs
Stingrays are mostly docile. They generally sting people who step on them, but there have been other cases of people getting stung in the chest and possibly heart when swimming over the top of them. Those responses seem to be only defensive.
Missing the scariest creature of all - the emu. Think velociraptor on steroids.
Or The cassowary, the horned Velociraptor on steroids, it's got that axe on its head 😳😟💩
At 12:44, that's not an Inland Taipan. It's a Red Belly Black snake.
Hi there, whilst it is true that Australia does have some very dangerous critters, they are few and far between.
I'm 70 and in my lifetime I've seen just 1 deadly snake and 1 deadly spider in the wild. These are things don't drop out of the sky at the rate of 100 per minute.
Keeping your property neat and tidy and you remove all the dead/dry wood and leaves from around your house you'll rarely see them.
So yes, we do have more than our fair share you can go through your whole life and not see any.
6:13 makes phineas and ferb kinda dark
ive seen a platypus and its baby in the wild it was so FREAKN cute swimming in circles.
Sharks have to continually keep on the move to make sure that water flows through their gills or they will suffocate.
the most terrifying spider doesnt freak you out xD we have to be so careful not to run into them
Glass spiders are the only thing that scares me. And drop bears, of course. Other beasties can mostly be seen/heard aheard of time.
Kangaroos can be found in PMG Puper New Guinea but they are Tree Kangaroos
The narrator is doing an awful Australian accent. I'm sure it sounds convincing to a non Aussie. But to an Australian its very cringeworthy.
Yeah I could not for the life of me work out what his accent was.
@@JustAn_mcPaul I think he's American.
Agreed!
It's the worst, gives me the bloody shits
sharks can sleep in areas that have freshwater vents. otherwise they need to swim to keep oxygenated water flowing over their gills
It a common misconception that Australian's ride Kangaroos, we ride Emu's. Emu's are faster and more agile, better for city riding. Kangaroo's are more for the weekends hitting the trials and long distance.
Funnel webs hide in shoes. Have 2 inch fangs that can bite through leather and toe nails. They do not just bite once, they keep biting, until you physically stop by pulling it off your foot. You can't kill the funnel web, you need to catch it so they can make the antivenom to save you. They are very aggressive and attack just because you are there. The iIrukandji is translucent, you don't see it as it's so small, once you see it, it's too late, the pain from this, platypus and one trees leaf make you wish for death, pain is that bad, the leaf one has caused farmers to kill themselves to end the pain
The oldest living animal is believed to be a Galapagos tortoise, who lived to be a documented 188 years old. Some are said to have lived longer, but this was an estimate of their age when they were first identified. Harriet the tortoise at Australia Zoo was actually brought to Australia by Charles Darwin himself in 1835. She lived to the ripe old age of 176. A jellyfish may live longer because it regenerates, but...it's just a jellyfish dude.
Platypus? You'd be lucky to even see one, they are very shy.
Kangaroos also live in Papua New Guinea and New Zealand.
Shoes won't nessicarily save you from a stonefish unless they're very thick soled.
Pure dingoes probably don't exist anymore on the mainland, only Islands. Kelpie and I think blue/red heeler working dogs have dingo blood in them to make them tougher and more durable.
Please tell the narrator to never try an Aussie accent ever again. Cheers.
I,ve only see a giant croc in a zoo near Airlie Beach. A few tiny redbacks, 1 brown snake and a small shark 4ft. Noah sent us these by post.
Hi guys. There are kangaroos in the UK. There’s a well known story of a motorist who hit a kangaroo in their car and drove their severely damaged vehicle to the closest police station in a close by town. The driver said to the police officer behind the desk ‘You’re not going to believe what I’ve just hit in my car.’
‘A kangaroo?’ Replied the police officer?’
Apparently several kangaroos had escaped from a traveling circus a few years previously and had multiplied many times over, they apparently enjoy the British weather. (True story.)
Please take into account that kangaroos do thrive in the State of Tasmania, Australia which has a very similar climate to the UK, including blizzards in the winter.
Inland Taipans don't strike repeatedly, they only do so when provoked.
The snake you're referring to that does the above is the Black Mamba from South Africa.
I got a paralysis tick on the back of my neck when i was 7 yrs old and ended up in hospital for 2 months! Pain was excruciating.
I had a flying fox or fruit bat as a pet. Back in the early 80's. Now it is against the law because so many of them carry rabies. All sharks sleep. We used to retrieve one from a cave while scuba diving. Eyes open they look awake but are resting, shot him like a torpedo back into his cave and he just stayed asleep, never came after us.🤣 Not so scary when you've grown up here. We found 25 funnel webs in a holiday home. They rear up to look aggressive but they don't jump at you or chase you. Most bites happen if you put on a pair of shoes left outside for some time and they make them home. You get bitten if you accidentally touch them without knowing they have taken up residence e.g. in wood piles. Don't let these things scare you out of visiting Australia, there are way more wonders to enjoy than scary things. We just grow them bigger down here because they're naturally well fed.🐨👏🏻🇦🇺
"SALTIES" FOUND IN FRESH WATER AS WELL. THAT IS WHERE "LUNCH" GOES TO DRINK
It's amazing that people think that dingoes are dogs, but little do they know they don't bark like a dog they actually howl like a wolf 🐺
The bee shown at the 3:45 mark with blue stripes is actually a native bee & they don’t sting!!! Most of our native bees are more closely related to flies than honey bees!!!
As an Australian, none of this scares me, you basicaly never see anything in everyday life. Go walking in the bush, take precautions.
I’m like 100% sure that America has 0 Salties it’s an Australian animal
Half of these don't bother us at all.🙄
Sharks have to keep moving so they can pass water through their gill. If they stop they suffocate.
The inland taipan is usually pretty laid back. Steve Irwin had one kiss him on the face without biting him. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND
We get redbacks in our house sometimes. My husband once took one to work in his briefcase.
Salt Water Crocodiles are a lot bigger than American Alligators, and even American Crocodiles. We hunted them very heavily up to the 1970's so most of the big crocs are long gone, the remaining ones are far from small - 17 -18 feet are pretty common, and rare beasts in the 20+ foot plus range do still exist in remote areas. These "huge" 18 footers are the ones that would have been too small for hunting back then, and are now around 60 years old. Photographic evidence from the time shows crocs up around 21-22 feet being reasonably common, although the issue with photography for measurement is that it can be easy to misrepresent perspective.
The largest claimed croc in Australia we have any solid evidence of was claimed at 8.6 metres or over 28 feet.
if you live in a funnel web area you don't leave your shoes outside and or stick your hand inside your shoes, give them a good bang together first and see if any thing falls out, also a funnel web can live under water, so if you see them in the bottom of your swimming pool, be careful, its not dead and can still give you a deadly bite
but this guy is saying a lot off crap, even though most on here can kill you its very rare to happen, never alone see most of them
The movies called 12 days of terror, that inspired jaws...it happened in 1912
Flying fox can have 6 feet wingspan lol
Steve Erwin was killed by one when he felt threatened by Steve swimming above him & the cameraman being below the ray! It got him in the heart & he pulled it out!
I grew up in a suburb that ended against a huge field. Way off in the field was a creek/mangrove. In the trees of the mangrove lived millions of bats. Every single day at dusk they flew from the trees towards my house and over it to the North to feed somewhere. I never saw when they returned to the trees but the next day, they would be hanging in the them. Occasionally a few would come down to house level and check out our mango and banana trees. One time I walked under a low hanging tree at night and walked so close to one that when it opened it's wings and took off it hit me in the face. Wingspan was about 4 feet. I peed a little.
Who’s the bloody narrator? I bet he thinks he’s got it down…. Nah…
bull sharks are in most of our waters. the gold coast has a bunch of man made waterways that interlace neighborhoods that are full of them. dogs horses and even people taken in supposedly near fresh water areas. they are one of the few shark types that will hunt in packs. not that big but just as scary in terms of teeth in their mouths
I can deal with most of our animals but not the bloody blowfly. Especially those ones in the outback that stick to your back and want to creep crawling into your tear ducts.
If I saw those spider webs everywhere I would set fire to the area.when I was 15 i was at a popular beach here in SA,it was a warm busy day & I had 4 sting rays swim only about 2 feet near me weaving inbetween a the people playing in the water.
My daughter was chased by a spider when she was about 4 yrs old when she was playing on the cement in front of our garage
13:19 The Movie is 12 days of terror
The animal you're talking about "murder hornets" are actually Japanese Hornets. I'm pretty sure there used to be a big scare about Africanised bees in the US as well - I don't remember getting them here in Oz.
Stingrays don't attack, except in immediate response to being stepped on, or when severely harassed by Steve Irwin. The main thing to watch out for is surprising them. There have been cases of people swimming over them, and startling them and getting a stingray barb in the heart, which is fatal.
Dingos don't attack adults that I'm aware of, but because they're getting increasingly familiar with tourists, there seem to be more children attacked by them than there were in the past. It seems like it's a common problem when potentially dangerous animals get over their fear of humans because so many people interact with and possibly feed them.
I love flying foxes. At night sometimes, you'll be walking under a tree, and disturb one, and they immediately drop and fly off, giving a wonderful archetypically bat shaped silhouette against the sky. You probably shouldn't handle them or get scratched by them though, as some have the Lissa virus which can give you Rabies. I think they're also the reservoir for the Hendra virus, and probably a whole bunch of other nasty deadly diseases.
Platapus is like your version of a beaver
How the hell did the flying fox make this list? hehehe. Also there are many errors in this video you watched guys. :)
My dog was half Dingo. I've almost been hit in the head by a Flying Fox when I've been out for a evening walk. You have to be careful not to get scratched or bitten by them because they could have Lyssavirus, which is like Rabies. They screech and fight in the trees in the evening.
Half dingo dogs and dingos in general are complete spastics aye. My mates one jumped out the window and ran through the entire house and behind us in about minus 3 seconds. Actual nutcase
There are some species of kangaroo on the Island of New Guinea which is divided between Papua New Guinea and Indonesia. New Guinea was separated from Australia about 12000 years ago after the last ice age. New Guinea and Australia have been separated from Asia for at least 100 million years. This why the marsupials thrived here and the placental mammals like monkeys, tigers and elephants never got here. Humans arrived 50-70,000 years ago and had to come here by boat or raft, there was no land bridge.
Gotta say this list missed a few genuinely scary animals. The Australian Brown Snake is not as venomous as many others but they are aggressive and bad tempered. Water Buffalo -the same sort as found in Africa and Asia are very dangerous, feral pigs are a big problem as well. Cassowaries are terrifying. Most aussies will tell ya, Maggies (Magpies) are the worst- during Spring (also known as swooping season) those psychotic birds will attack people, dogs, cats.
Flying foxes of the cutest things ever. Check out some pictures of their little faces and they are so cute when they eat fruit
The scariest animal in Australia, Something thing called a Scomo! 😱
The Australian Bee has no stinger
Did you know that in the last forty years more Australians have been killed by bears than by spiders?
And they had to go to America to find the bears.
They actual problem with most of these things is that they _aren't_ scary. If they were scary, people would leave them alone.
The only way anyone ever gets envenomated by a blue-ringed octopus is if they _pick it up_ If they were scary, people wouldn't do that.
As for box jellyfish, they are practically invisible in the water, and people don't even know they're there. An irukandji might kill you, but it won't scare you.
An platypuses? They aren't scary, they are incredible cute. Just don't handle the wildlife.
But salties…. I have seen saltwater crocodiles, and they are bloody scary.
Both the video you're watching and yourselves are wrong about the dingo! Oh and the dingo fence is still in place (have had to go through it a few times).
The dingo is NOTHING like a wolf or a dog (beyond they're a pack animal)!
They're not as aggressive as wolves for starters.
That red back photo looked like a HELL of a lot like the American black widow rather than our redback which usually has a CONTINUOUS red mark all the way up it. The bite hurts speaking from experience and the most usual outcome is itching like a mofo for weeks at the bite site but I've seen some nasty reactions too.
Oh and your bee would most likely be the "Africanised Honey Bee".
I just wanna mention the Gympie Gympie plant that has driven people and animals to suicide due to the long lasting (can last years) burning pain that has been described as like being electrocuted and on fire.
