Yes, that poor kangaroo was trying to defend itself from those dogs. Really cruel, the dog owners are behaving irresponsibility.

Tourists should learn about our animals and how to be around them, before approaching them. They will react to your behaviour. Stand still, let them come to you if they want, or not. Our native animals don’t see people as food, so they won’t attack you unless you make what they perceive to be a threat.

[@grandmothergoose]

This is true. Most negative wild animal interactions that get filmed involve tourists - which includes Aussies on holiday in areas with wildlife they're not familiar with. Saltwater crocodiles however, they perceive just about everything made of meat that moves as food, thus they will attack without provocation.

Ryan, it's pretty well known in rural parts of Australia that Kangaroos will sometimes literally jump right at cars if you're driving at night with the high beams on. They're known as 'kamikaze kangaroos', probably because they get stunned and disorientated by the extremely bright light. Not sure why they want to jump toward it, but there you go.

The "Dinosaur" thing is a Frilled Neck Lizard, related to the Water / Beareded Dragons, but the Jurassic Park dinosaur is a Dilophosaur, which they took liberties with adding a frill and one of the seriously mixed up sized Dinosaurs, but the odd one where they made it considerably smaller, rather than massively oversized. The Velociraptor was about turkey sized, rather than the Emu/Ostrich... the Dilophosaur was actually 9m (27') long, 2.4m (8') high, rather than the 4m (13'4") and 1.2m (4').

[@enderblazebeyond2452]

People who live around these animals usually have a good sense of when they may be dangerous. Kangaroos are somewhat like deer in that they are road hazards, can sometimes be found wandering through towns and while not inherently dangerous, it is ill advised to approach them. The dogs on that beach were Dingoes. A Dingo is a breed of wild dog. They are considered to be the same species as domestic dogs, but are comparable to coyotes or wolves.

[@grandmothergoose]

Correction, genetic testing in recent years has proven that dingos are a completely different species of canis, further removed from domestic dogs than wolves are. Even without genetics, Dingos have very distinct and unique physical and behavioural differences which makes them easily identifiable from all other canis species if one knows what to look for.

Deer get stuck in headlights, Roos actively jump in front of them.

Devil - the dingo pup's name - loved the children and other pets, which included several cats, two other dogs and a fox, Unfortunately he wandered off to a nearby busy road after he was fully grown and had lived with my family for about six years and was hit and killed by a passing car.

That was the tassie devil growling. They sound bad, but a cat can kill one. The magpie has a neat pointed beak like a jet plane, sleek, strong and they have killed human babies, they really hurt when they get you, usually from behind, with the power of high speed. Koalas have teeth and big strong claws for climbing trees, they can try to climb you instead of a tree, if they are feeling unsafe. The larger lizard at the end of the clip is a goanna, some are called lace monitors for their markings.

[@larissahorne9991]

Hi Ryan, Just so you won't keep confusing Kookaburras for Magpies. Magpies are black and white, Kookaburras don't usually hurt people. Those birds surrounding that Lady are called Sulfur-crested Cockatoos (Cockies), some people keep them as pets and teach them to talk. There's a similar looking bird with pink and grey feathers called a Galah.

[@petemedium2185]

And there is a similar Aussie bird to the Cockatoos, but slightly smaller without the crest. It is a corella.

[@kathleenmayhorne3183]

Cockatoos often take bark off trees and open up nuts and heavy duty seeds with their very strong beaks. Being bitten is no joke. In drought conditions they invade suburbs looking for food and water. They love stripping our mandarin tree of fruit, no matter if they are still very green.

[@grandy2875]

Let's not forget the Major Mitchell Cockatoo (also known as the Leadbeater's Cockatoo) with its dark coral-pink and yellow crest and pale pink head and body and white wings. Although they are a physically smaller bird, they have just as big a personality as their sulphur crested cousin. We have a variety of cockatoo species, each of which is just as beautiful as each other... 🤩🇦🇺

The truck crossing crocodile infested waters was at Cahills crossing in Arnhem Land. This is a tidal river crossing and can only be crossed at low tide. If you miss the tide you just have to wait a few hours for the next low tide. I've been lucky enough to cross it and saw one idiot fishing there which is not uncommon despite the danger.

The Kangaroo was being rescued from Lake Burley Griffin in Canberra down near Kings Avenue Bridge. The thorny devil is an amazing bit of evolution not only do the thorns offer some protection but because of the way its scales are designed any moister that collects on its body is funnelled towards its mouth so in the early morning it stands still and lets the dew collect on it and that's how it gets water in the desert. This guy doesn't know the difference between a lake and a river. the Kangaroo was in a lake the truck was crossing a river you drongo. Kangaroos are the most stupid creatures on gods green earth I drove a taxi for 2 years in Canberra my shift started at 2am and in the early hours the stupid things were everywhere and they would stand in the road jump out in front of you and the general reaction was fu*king kangaroo. The joke is you're not a real Canberran till you hit a kangaroo. Echidnas are also know a spinney ant eaters they have a long sticky tongue and a tiny mouth. They go up to ant hills and termite mounds dig into them and flick there tongues into the tunnels and lick up ants they couldn't bite you if they tried

Speaking as an aussie who as a kid found a Death Adder under a lunch table in school grounds, reported it to the teachers and then spent the rest of the lunch break warning other kids to avoid the area... That's not true of NSW schools at least? Pretty sure most just call up an animal relocation specialist to drop by when they can and tell the teachers and kids to avoid the area the dangerous animal was seen in until its removed. Most snakes won't bother us unless we bother them, and we can usually avoid them easily enough. Still that's a very cool vice principal there!

A couple of years ago a fellow disappeared on Fraser Island, off the east coast of Brisbane, and it was assumed he was eaten by dingos so I wouldn't be treating them so casually as in the video. Also the aboriginals say the dongos take babies if not looked after. This happened at Ayres rock, in central Australia, many years ago. If a person was alone they would be in considerable danger.

[@reddog5378]

Can't find anything relating to Dingoes and disappearances anywhere. I'm Yuin, Dingoes used to protect and stay with our babies and young children while we hunted. Dingoes are family to the First Nations people. Unless they are urban fringe dingo hybrids or have had human interference any wild dingo will be gone before you even see it. The only time a wild dingo will show aggressive behaviour is if you approach a den with pups, even then it will flee instead of defend if you continue.

[@grandmothergoose]

The majority of the problems with regards to dingos and humans have come about on Fraser Island where the tourists are ignorant and feed the dingos and try to interact with them, which causes the dingos to lose their sense of caution around humans. Then along comes a family with an unsupervised child that provokes the dingos, or someone with food that refuses to feed them, and the dingos attack. Under normal circumstances of a human coming across a pack of dingos in the wild, the dingos would be cautious and prefer to avoid interaction. The lesson here is, if it's a wild animal, never try to feed it and leave it alone.

Kookaburras are very friendly to humans. If you offer them food they will visit often and will sit on your lap or sit beside you and will eat from your hand. Magpies are also very friendly to human except in the nesting season when they will fly at you to keep you away from their nests. There was a news story about a magpie who used to visit a little girl and bring her pretty things to thank her for giving it food. It was apparently going into other people's yards to find things she might like. When my daughter was six a magpie would come into her room to visit her and would bring sticks and other nesting materials to her she was upset that these weren't cool things that the other girl was receiving so I explained to her that these were things that were very valuable to birds so that magpie was giving her something it valued.

Let's imagine I could show you a bone of a thylacine, dated, and then show you a dingo bone also dated and in the same dig as the first bone and stratigraphically above the thylacine. That's what I would call hard evidence. Like in Fromm's landing SA. Now show me a DNA, for the sake of agument. Then show me a 'molecular clock'. Nice range they have, from 4,640 - 18,100, for a 'maybe' occurrence! Wow!

She’s screaming to get the magpie away from her, but all she has to do is turn the nearest corner so she’s no longer in their territory and the nest.

@2:50 is a funnel Web spider

[@meganpass8320]

Ryan, love your vids! As an Aussie, can tell you a couple of things. 1. Koalas look cute but have chlamydia and are very territorial. They attack, but if they come to you, you're fairly safe. 2. Kangaroos are DANGEROUS! They use their tails like a freaking seat, use their little arms to hold onto you & then proceed to try shred whatever they can with their massive legs & claws. After the massive fires that wiped out most of Canberra (i was born & raised), i was walking home and ran into the biggest grey i have ever seen. He was over 6ft, his body was at least 3ft wide and i had to back away slowly & walk the long way home. Also usually if you hit ANY kangaroo with your car, its a write off. Only very littles ones do minimal damage and trucks are usually ones who take them out. You in a car you usually SCREWED 😂😅 3. Dont mess with an Emu. One literally stole chicken from my fathers plate as he and my mum were having a picnic years ago. Little bugger just popped over my dads shoulder and took it 😂😂 4. The 'dinosour' is a Frilled Neck Lizard. They use the frill necks to make themselves look bigger and more dangeous to predators. 5. NEVER just put shoes on in Australia if they have been outside. Our spiders like to hide in them. Back in the 80s/90s my father new a guy who was a construction site manager. Lived in Sydney. Chucked his boot's on at like 5am, worked on site from 6 to 9am and went into his office. Just after he sat down felt 2 horrific pains in one of his feet. Threw his boot off and out crawled a funnel web. It killed him 😢 That being said, you grow up here you learn to respect the wildlife. We also believe that if someone is dumb enough to mess with them, especially someone who lives here, you get what you deserve 😂😂😂

Hows you Arvo going? That's Aussie slang. We never say Happy Arvo. It's funny though.

[@sherrylovegood]

I love how he says “Happy arvo”. I love how he’s so enthusiastic about Australia. I think it’s delightful and he now says it in every video. It’s his own twist on it. 💝💝💝

I get so annoyed when he says happy arvo. As an Australian, I've never heard anyone else say that in my lifetime

[@lynneperry7454]

@@Cobra9836 chill mate, It’s very Ryan and it’s just fine. I actually said it to a customer at work the other day without realising! Then had to explain why I (apparently) randomly started laughing. 😂

No, Ryan, it’s a Kookaburra (cooker-burra)

Funniest thing on the news the other night, the the under 12's Crib Point Magpies football team got attacked by their own mascot on the field when a Magpie started swooping and pecking the hell out of the kids. The footage is hilarious!!

0:30 that old man with the snake well you call that lucky and i call him an old fool

[@StephyPaige98]

A lot of tourists seem to think about the cuddly koala and the friendly kangaroo that you feed but they are only like that because they are used to humans or the people are basically ignoring them and being very calm. They are wild animals, just like any wild animal they can attack when feeling threatened. That tradie was very wise when that roo was kicking, turn away so it can’t get your organs, if a big one gets you head on it could be very bad. Saying that, you need to look up the quokka.

[@dangermouse3619]

We got blue tongue lizards.they bite and lock on and won't let go.

[@dianawhiteley9807]

First off its pronounced 'ozzys' and the bird that went inside for a piece of meat is a kookaburra. The black and white swooping bird is a magpie and the lizard is a frilled-neck lizard.

[@justanaussie7094]

That Clip where the Kangaroo jumps on the car was worrying. We actually have very high pitched whistles that you can attach to your car that only Kangaroos can hear. They are supposed to keep them away from your car when you're driving in the outback. The last thing you want is to hit one at 100kmh and have it come through the windsheild glass everywhere with it kicking around.

[@kathleenmayhorne3183]

The car lights temporarily blind them, they get disoriented and try to jump over the lights, not realising a car is behind them. Kangaroos cause big repair bills and often die, people need to take caution approaching a wounded roo, it may revive suddenly, the claws on their back legs can rip you open. If a dead female has a baby in her pouch, it can be rescued if already off the nipple, do not feed it cows milk, hand it in to a vet, they can get it to wildlife carers. If a tiny baby, it stays attached firmly to her teat, pulling it off will kill it, better to get the wildlife services to come.

[@Goethite_A]

I had that happen to me. Fortunately I was only travelling about 20 kph and the roo was hopping along side of the front of the car when he decided to take a right turn and landed on my bonnet. Then he jumped of and continued on his way without missing a beat. There was a considerable dent in the bonnet of my car.

[@personsomeone5855]

I live on the edge of rural Victoria on 20acres of bush land and throughout most of my childhood we had a big wild kangaroo(roo) named Erl that slept on our trampoline every night. My little brother would go outside to pee off the edge of the deck each morning and say high to Erl (from a distance). Erl was a 7ft roo that is built like the rock and was pure muscle. He was pretty chill.

[@kenchristie9214]

5:30 Thorny Mountain Devils are my favourtie lizards. The are so docilie, but please leave them in their habitat. Keeping one for a pet will kill them. They like to sit by an ant track for food. It is on the road because it has just come out of hibernation.

[@fergo7010]

10:03 that's the same type of snake the silly old man was kicking 0:30

[@redwarpy]

No idea what was done to the koala to provoke it to attack that child. Tourist annoy the animal with out taking into consideration what the animal will do. So you cannot judge until you know the full facts.

[@Kim-Papercrafter]

The kangaroo balances on its tail so it can seriously injury its opponent with its back legs. They can kill. All Australian animals can be dangerous when they feel threatened or territorial. The kookaburra is the bird with the big beaks and laugh (not black and white magpies). The animal that kind of looks like a porcupine is a mammal called an echidna (E-kid-nah). 12.35 is our native dog called a dingo (they have killed people/babies, look up Lindy Chamberlain). Many of our flora and fauna (also places) have indigenous names.

[@demonhunter352]

Koalas are territorial buggers. They have two opposable thumbs on each "hand" and claws designed for climbing eucalyptus trees (some of which have very smooth bark)

[@CK-solutions]

One thing we're taught from a young age in Australia, is they may look cute and cuddly, but they're still a wild animal. So treat them as such. Notice the indigenous man, tussling with a kangaroo, knew how to carry himself. Never face a kangaroo with your arms out to defend yourself. That's a challenging posture for a fight. Best defence is to put your back to them - just like the indigenous man did. The problem when you scare a large Goanna (lizard) or a koala is their defence is to climb the tallest thing closest to them, to escape. Which tends to the be person who gave them a fright. They're usually not trying to attack you. They claw into you though, to climb you like a tree. I'm sure the koala was surprised, the child they latched onto, wasn't a tree and then clung on for dear life, as people were trying to pry them apart. Australian animals are pretty chill when you know what frightens them, or triggers them, and you don't do it. Unfortunately, these kinds of videos usually have uneducated people (even urban Aussies, not just tourists) who make the animals appear a lot more aggressive than they actually are. Any wild animal you corner or confront, is going to engage a defence mechanism.

That first lizard you saw was a Frill Neck Lizard and they don't hurt you at all, they just run after you to try and scare you away. Hence why the guy is laughing.

[@margaretross8486]

Echidnas are so cute and curious. They have spikes to protect themselves but they don’t attack you.

[@td928]

I found out the hard way as a kid feeding a Roo standing up. I fed about 8 to 10 of them fine then an old grumpy red kangaroo came over and me being a ranga he thought I was another roo, he grabbed me around the neck/shoulders with his arms and gave me a couple jabs before he started leaning back to kick me but a zoo keeper came and saved me taught me how to feed them properly. Told me old mate was extremely old, really grumpy and thought I was another male roo trying to take his females hahahaha

He asked if Australians have bear spray, WTF is bear spray.

The one where the big roo is banking on the door is the same roo that attacked a dog and it’s owner punched it in the head The roo followed them home and that’s him trying to get the man that punched him lol

Maybe you should do a quick doco of the Kookaburra, they’re a bloody cool bird mate…..cheers

[@vickiblade8829]

Kangaroos have a big claw on the centre of their feet (paws). Once they get up on their legs and stand tall, they use their tail to balance and they will lift their feet to try and rip you open with the claw. Koalas will run toward you and climb up your body. They don't care where they scratch to climb. They have really sharp claws and apparently sharp teeth too! In Victoria (SE Australia) koalas are often kicked to death by cows when they climb down from trees to move to other trees. Many mainland koalas have chlamydia. There is a colony of disease free koalas on French Island in Victoria.
