[@julietajanzen2648]

She's great, so engaging. We want to see more of her on TV

[@ABCScience]

Thanks Julieta!

[@blackpeter70]

I'd love to see her in person, but she's not having it.

[@michaelrussell3890]

"hope no one's watching this over breakfast" Guess when I'm watching this...

[@kylaszemplinski3776]

Me too. I was eating my yogurt and fruit the moment she said that.

[@melissahuber7601]

Nope. Dinner

[@BuildingCenter]

"Bush tinsel," the best tinsel.

[@wombat.6652]

And now I'm going to manipulate conversations around to the point where I can say "Bush tinsel".

[@aq9714]

Yes, love the term "Bush Tinsel"! How Ann presents wildlife is the best!

[@imjustcrow6268]

one time when I was a 6-8 year old child, walking along my driveway in rural Victoria, there was a brown snake crossing the road. It looked at me. I looked at it. It slithered on and I walked very scared back to my family who were fishing in the river.

[@dionboehme6603]

That's brilliant, and the presenter is great talent!

[@kristinowens899]

I love her i could watch and listen to her all day!!

[@nicoletripp8598]

Genuinely found my new favourite nature hero.

[@Steeyuv]

Yeah, David Attenborough? Ptui

[@Rubytuesday1569]

Oooh... Had to listen to this one with brief glimpses, but another awesome presentation by Dr Jones. ☮️

[@AussieAquatic]

'BUSH TINSEL" LOL...………..I feel so much better :)

[@Mhor]

Nope ropes and bush tinsel - lol

[@elgalloazul]

"Cannibalism" is a bit of a stretch, as you know...

[@chrisfromsouthaus2735]

Yeah, It's about the equivalent of a human eating a lemur.

[@hoibsh21]

Python: You thought you could fly away from me, dint chu? Crow; SWAUWKK!!

[@sharim]

Bush tinsel-best description of a snek ever. It’s just tinsel I don’t want on MY Xmas tree!

[@meranger92]

The brownsnake fight was quite interesting, that´s exactely how the european adder (v. berus) practice their mating battle.

[@Swnsasy]

Snakes are just amazing creatures I adore them..

[@randyjax09]

I love how the title says “Australian Snakes” and the thumbnail photo shows an African black mamba. 😋

[@Swnsasy]

Haha I said that too! I'm like umm, when did mamba's get to Australia? Hehe

[@jimmycoco6506]

Love these vids

[@owen7185]

Hi Ann just saw your funnelweb video, you do a great job

[@lilbeastydoll4808]

Watched this video while my pet python layed on my bed...

[@Furykidxxx]

Ann: "I hope no one watching these over breakfast".. Me:... well, too late for that!

[@aliciahuynh6340]

Nice science explanation video as my favourite snake is Eastern Brown snake

[@ABCScience]

Thanks Alicia! Good snake choice.

[@aliciahuynh6340]

ABC Science no problem

[@drblack66]

Here's the original brown snake fight video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmnPZXWGZZqUj6M

[@vitoriadibonesso2010]

Male snakes play thumb war?

[@bobweiram6321]

"We having a bit of cannibalism happening."

[@fleachamberlain1905]

Lol, bush tinsel. Though I think that actually already goes to cob webs.

[@tressahendrix0231]

Bush tinsel, i loved that!

[@tundratitan7]

Dang, for as dangerous as brown snakes are they certainly battle like distinguished gentlemen with honor.

[@daledenton6583]

I once was a snake but then I grew legs and became a wizard

[@barbarawild2478]

Bush tinsel!😅- I'll never look at tinsel the same way! As always addictingly well presented, but glad I live in Austria- most dangerous "animal" is the tic!

[@islandercirce2]

You probably won't be surprised to know that even our ticks in Australia can be deadly. They're not sufficiently toxic to kill a human but can cause death in cats & dogs due to the paralysis that the toxins cause.

[@barbarawild2478]

@@islandercirce2 no, no surprise there, but then the Australians seem such wonderful people, it might just be worth all the creeping, crawling, biting and kicking 4 to 1000 legged co-inhabitants!🍀

[@christiangerhardt2408]

As a South African I love the thumbnail.

[@craft_nerd]

Ah yes, scaley tinsle; my favourite. 🐍

[@miguelitojones8252]

Bush tinsel. I love it.

[@Mastealth]

I purposely held my Carpet Python for this vid aha, left my Dugite in its Vivarium though haha.

[@BradGryphonn]

I really like snakes. I've been lucky enough to have lived in many places where there have been resident pythons or other snake species, including venomous ones. I used to madly take photos every time I saw one, but now it's kinda, "Oh yeah, there's a snake."

[@2ChukBuk]

How about a piece on the inland Taipan? They are pretty lethal, or so I am told.

[@nilankumarage9589]

thumb nail is a *black mamba*

[@outrunning_funja8484]

The snake that can stretch their mauth out my first instinct was like "ooh he looks like the covodent from halo" or more realistic " its that guy from halo"

[@judalea17]

though no content on the venomous snakes (don't get me wrong, this was great, but I was surprised there was nothing about snake bites)

[@the1band1wagon]

"I hope no one's watching this over breakfast." Me, dangling my noodles above my head so I can eat them base up: ... Edit: Oh my goodness, snakes are bush tinsel.

[@yourstruly0325]

there are multiple snakes in my backyard and i've only seen one of them (it was just a small garden snake) but my brother in law saw three others and we dont know what kind of snake they are but we have a little shitzu so i get worried leaving him out there alone sometimes even tho ive war hed him fend off a snake perfectly fine before

[@jessmiller6577]

Bush Tinsel 🤣

[@Warriorking.1963]

Snakes have absolutely no table manners! When I was young, if I'd gulped my food the way that big snake's swallowing that croc, my Dad would have given me a clip on the earhole.

[@markwitte303]

and dont know what this has anything to do with breakfast lunch or dinner? i never eat breakfast. snack sometimes but usually just one meal a day between lunch and dinner

[@Crimepaysaskapolitician]

Can a human escape from a constrictor?

[@chirpycrow2061]

Hell I need to enter my black rat snake into pro bodybuilding..he got some serious desiel muscular physique going on there..lol

[@margaretpike2929]

Eurgh...glad I am in new zealand!!!

[@blackpeter70]

Hmmm...we had some "Bush Tinsel" underneath the back stairs of our house in Burleigh Heads back in the 70's, when it was still pretty newly-developed land. And that Bush Tinsel had it's beady little eyes on my kitty! I was only 6 years old, but I would've taken the bullet! That happened twice, both times Carpet Pythons. Stay away from my cat, you bastards!

[@nukeyourhouse]

Ann seems fun.

[@kellygosh5371]

u need to do one on sugar gliders

[@ddhhh5487]

Deathnoodles!

[@moonliteX]

macropod? that's bigfoot 😆

[@atypical1000]

Yeah have you looked at a kangaroo or wallaby, they have really big feet, hence the family Macropodidae.

[@MsJevious]

I love my ball python.

[@Getoverhere666]

why th someone puts dislikes under these videos?

[@MailyJM]

I don't know either!! I just hope it's by mistake?? And they actually wanted to give it a like~ Otherwise I'd be concerned for them...

[@markcottierkw950]

Love your work. But this video didn't really explain anything about snakes other than a few small facts of what was seen in the videos you were describing. Keep up the great work though 😃👍🤩

[@LilacLilly9696]

I love her so much

[@lenorahoule4666]

They are big bags,of flesh,and are treafieing,😲😮

[@zackmartin4595]

PLEASE DO THE GIANT GOLDEN CROWNED FLYING FOX from the Philippines

[@markwitte303]

i dont get the tinsel comment. random humor i guess. i wouldnt even noticed until i read the comments

[@markwitte303]

pythons and anaconda are extremely invasive in the southeast usa. pets that got to big and realesed outdoors and propogated with no predators. the south east usa is a bit of a problem for the rest of the usa.

[@Gnarloo]

Clicked off as soon as she said nope ropes

[@AndyJade-df6dj]

Team Slytherin Yay 🙌

[@TheWheelofLife100]

I absolutely adore snakes, from a million miles away.

[@owencovill3966]

The nature nerd ?

[@janeydarkheir7906]

I hate snakes

[@christophera556]

If a poisonous snake comes to close to say your house get out the 12 gshotgun and shoot it dead.

[@oxyranus9355]

@@christophera556 That can get you extremely high thousand of dollar fine and your killing an animal helping rat outbreaks and getting a higher chance of getting your self killed if it’s venomous

[@blackpeter70]

Dr. Jones, if I send you some money, could you please buy another shirt? Or did you borrow Einstein's idea of buying seven sets of exactly the same outfits, so you don't have to expend unnecessary thought on what to wear? If so, I can dig it.
