- Everything in this Aquarium can KILL YOU! - Locked behind steel gates in Cairns, Australia, this Venom Lab at James Cook University keeps the world's most venomous aquatic creatures. I took a tour to learn more about these deadly species including: Box Jellyfish, Irukandji, Stone Fish, Cone Snail, Blue Ringed Octopus and Mantis Shrimp.

@Gabriel Ono are you dumb????????
@Gabriel Ono yeah it's definitely your 1st day.
That fella has contributed a lot to science,history, and the animal kingdom. A lifetime of work for the good ….not many people like this fella
why don't many people like this fella? jk... I know I'm corny✌🤙
Now this guy deserves respect, he really just casually picked up the most venomous fishes in the world
He's probably been doing that his whole life
You are right but the thing with the most venomous fish is at the spikes on the fish are only venomous which are on top of the fish so if you just grab it from below it can’t do much
But the jellyfish tentacles have venom tho
we aussies are built different
I find it funny how the most venomous animals are held in the most inconspicuous containers like a water cup.
Lmao 😭

Its a demon summoner :)
Looool yknow everyone always be talking shit bout demons saying they evil but some of my best friends are demons, they just misunderstood.
My god the amount of knowledge & impact this man has given to the world must be incredible. Him and his team are unsung heroes of our time.
Also important to know that the application of vinegar upon the stung area does NOTHING for the pain of a Box jelly sting. The stinging cells known as nematacysts's even after detaches from the animal itself, can deliver secondary stings as the detached tentacles can continue to fire off. Hence the use of the vinegar, all it does is neutralise the nematacysts rendering them unable to deliver any more stings in order to remove tentacle fragments safely from the stung limb/area.
Damn
what about piss?
@@samoak123 It really doesn't do anything, certainly not for the pain. But something in everyday household vinegar neutralizes the stunning cells, to prevent them from both firing off secondary stings & to render them virtually harmless so any tentacles still clinging to flesh can be removed, that's it. Vinegar does nothing for the pain. Ben Cropp a famous Australian marine biologist/photographer has a fascination with Chironex flekeri & tested piss among other known remedies & it did nothing for the pain either. I have heard that piss is supposed to be good for less harmful marine stingers, like blue bottles etc.
Juvenile blue bottles and normal jellyfish, vinegar and urine helps stop the new pulses of pain and can, sometimes, wash it out. The original pain keeps hurting like mad but anything is good when you’re in pain.

The sea turtle: 😐
Him: This is the most venomous ANIMAL on the planet.
Also him:Touches it.
The most Australian thing I've ever seen.
Do you realize the difference between venemous and poisonous?
@@huddy0880 Oh yeah, the venomous term are generally branded for being injected directly into the body of a victim, while the word 'poisonous' are used for the application of the poisonous substance in a wound or by means of consuming the said substance. Furthermore, there are some animals that possess both abilities. And btw your spelling of venomous makes me cringe.
@@alienwithinternetconnection you snapped 😂
He fed it
Imagine going to a funeral and hearing “ they were killed by a snail “
That would be sad. In 2 ways
For some reason it reminded me of the 19yr old who was dared by his friends to eat a slug and died from it
@@baileyspeltbeefy1768 .-. Well if someone called me and told me that my friend was killed bc of that I would laugh bc I would think that it was a joke
@@alejandrosalcedoromero8699 I don’t blame you! I thought it was a fake story the first time I heard it
Your friends will never go outside again after hearing that you were killed by a slug
Fascinating, thank you. About 40 years ago I saw a Blue Ringed Octopus in a rock pool at Cronulla, a coastal suburb just south of Sydney. I thought, "What a cool looking critter, brilliant colors, kinda cute & small." I'm glad something told me not to handle it, otherwise I wouldn't be writing this.
Handling it isn't a guarantee to be bitten but yeah, if you were, you wouldn't be here. One problem is that their bite is so painless that you might not notice, and just suddenly collapse a few minutes later, as the venom paralyzes you. There's no antivenom. Survival is only by treating the symptoms...
Remember one rule, in nature more colorful it is more Danger it is

@@zackplayz7333
That's incredible
@@user-dv7hq2rh4g righttt?
Alot of these fish live in Japan as well. I spent 3 years in Okinawa and the military briefed all new comers about the dangers in the water. The beaches by hotels all had designated swimming areas with nets to keep out the dangerous sea life. You see that in the Caribbean as well, I figured it was to keep people safe from boats and jet skis going past.
Most of us have pretty solid knowledge about the environments and ecosystems in our country
I am freaking out that he's just touching it and explaining, not freaking out, nothing... just pure education and respect... omg I can't even
I used to watch 72 dangerous animals: Australia all the time but it was unfortunately removed from Netflix in my country but this video is going over all my favourite animals from that show. Thank you!

Best thing I've heard in quarantine
Underated comment
Correction: nothing here wants to kill you, they just can. They aren’t malicious and you aren’t prey.
Edit: I’d also like to say that this type of characterization, that these animals want to kill you, can actually hurt conservation efforts. This can be seen as an effect from the jaws movie. People started hunting sharks to keep people safe even though they didn’t even need to.

Imagine when they jellyfish goes back into the ocean and tells everyone what he went through. “Harold, I told you a million times, I don’t wanna talk about it. He...

For the jellyfish, it’s safe to touch most by the bell
@@ilikethoseodds.4066 same
I’ve touched a jellyfish before
It was a moon jelly
This makes A LOT MORE SENSE.. when I wonder how they get some of the shots “in the wild” that they get on discovery channel etc.. it’s STAGED! (Well some of it)
Well coyote forces the insect to sting him so It is not really faking you can see the sting pierce his skin
Depends on the situation
Its not very hard to film things like this in the wild things are very rarely staged
Peterson actually does get stung with venom, and you can tell that because of the involuntary reactions that occur, such as inflammation, chest pain, drooling, and muscle convulsion.
@@firtreeman8918 Yeah coyote Peterson doesn't fake stuff
Had to be Australia of course... this guy is amazing! He seriously deserves some kind of medal for his contributions.

Several years ago, I stepped on a stonefish during holidays. It felt as if receiving a massive thunder bolt shock, I have been stabbed by jellyfish many times before and this is uncomparable. The jellyfish are like slow but intense burning sensation, while the stonefish hit me so hard that I couldn't even go out of water. Hopefully I was with a friend and when he heard me yell and he saw me almost drowning because of the pain, he helped me get out of the water. In just a few minutes, I was sweating hard, I had a hot fever and my foot swelled to twice its size.
Once we reached the sand of the beach, he brought me to the closest lifeguard. I lost consciousness a bit later, and I woke up the next day in an hospital room. My friend explained me what happened when I was out, and he told me that the lifeguard saved my life. He wasn't sure what happened to me he just knew that I have been hit by smthg in the right foot, stonefish are extremely rare so he thought it was a jellyfish (pretty common here), but he still checked my foot and did all the necessary steps in case it wasn't a jellyfish. He cut a big chunk of flesh on the palm of my foot where I got it because if it really was a stonefish, he wasn't sure if I the needle was still inside or not. After that, he gave me painkillers, different antivenin for the most probable animals that could have poisoned me and brought me to the closest hospital.
This was the worse thing I have ever experienced, and since then I always wear plastic shoes when swimming. I also developed a paranoid fear of deep water, even tho I always loved scuba diving, since this happened I never went to far and I always check where I put my feet on the sand when going back.
Before the end of my holiday (I spent a whole week at the hospital), I invited the lifeguard that saved me to a pub and we drank until the next morning. After that, we became friend (I learned he was working here for summer but he came from a place next to where I lived) and even until now we are still in contact. He even invited me at his marriage, and I always told him that I had a debt for what he did and as the doctor said if he didn't act so quickly and he didn't took the right decisions, I would have been dead. In fact, giving my age at the time it happened it was already a miracle I could survive this.
(sry for the bad English, it's not my native language)
Glad you’re ok amazing story ✨💪🏾
Crazy, I was stung a few times by jellyfish and I’m very sensitive to pain, it was terrible and ended up with welts everywhere I was stung. Can’t imagine how bad that would be.
Single lock “why so much security.”
The other form of security is the animals themselves. One wrong touch and you’re gone

I never knew about that insane snail and that ambushing shark. This is a great video.
i just love hownhe casually says "its the most venomous animal in the world" then proceeds to touch it.
Touching a box jellyfish, damn, thats dangerous, he is a professional.
The head dont sting, when i see them i crush the head to kill them
@@Nickerian91 yes but the stingers can move so its very dangerous, especially if it can kill you in less that 90 seconds.
@@void717 belive me i got stung by the big one and the small one they have in the bottles. They are horrible and they hunt you. If you see them they stop moving and sink down to the bottom trying to hide.
The stingers does not move as much as they flow after the head movement so if you are infront you can easy grab it.
I do compressor diving at night for a living :p im very used to jellyfish.
Also im a bit skeptical about the 90 sec it does sting like hell once u get hit and if it has any size to it it gives you nasty scars and the flesh looks like it have melted away in that area. But if you manage to get vinegar on it within a few min you wont even get a scar it takes a lil while for it to actually show any tissue damage.
Many i know have several dec long scars. Death i know can happen but im sure it takes a bit longer. The "tentacles" stick to everything and the jellyfish let them go so once u move it new needles get shoot into your skin. Therefore once stung people usually rub their body with sand and put venigar.
@@Nickerian91 I think the difference is in the amount injected. So a rattlesnake probably injects a lot more venom and is thus more deadly, even though per ml the jellyfish is more toxic.
@@aina3387 precisely. When they say "more venomous" they mean that it requires a lower dose to be lethal. Rattlers inject visible amounts of venom. A box jellyfish injects microscopic amounts.
