Tips for visiting Australia (from an Aussie): - Never get into fresh water unless you know it's safe, do not be "that one guy" who thought you can just go for a nice swim in a lake in Australia. There is a crocodile in there, you don't see him, but he thinks you look delicious. - Never get into salty water unless you know it's safe. If you're at a beach and there's plenty of people around, you'll probably be fine as long as you stay in the areas that are marked as safe. They are marked for a reason, if you get stung by a box jellyfish your life is over. Within 3 minutes you will be bleeding from your eyes, mouth, nose, and every other hole in your body, there is no antivenom, you will likely not even have 5 minutes to tell your family goodbye. Also there are rocks in the ocean that are not actual rocks, they're a death sentence. (I avoid water altogether, I've been stung before by one of the least dangerous jellyfish in Australia and I passed out from the pain, and was in absolute agony for no less than 7 hours) - Never, EVER under-estimate a cassowary. They are seriously dangerous. I saw one when I was a little kid, I stood there and looked from a distance, everything was fine. Don't be a moron, just stay still and enjoy how pretty it is. Don't panic, he doesn't want to hurt you. But do keep in mind that if you annoy him, I guarantee you, you will NOT win that fight. - Do not under-estimate just how dangerous the outback can be. It's not the animals that will kill you out there, it's your car breaking down 1000km from the nearest town, when you haven't seen another car in two days. You will have no cell reception. So you better have enough fuel to easily make it to the next town, a spare tire, and enough water to last multiple days. Because if you find yourself out there and you're not prepared, you will not be coming home. I love the outback, the red sand, insane temperatures, and being truly alone. But I've had my car break down before and I drank a tiny bit of water out of a hole in the road, then almost passed out on the side of the road before someone pulled over to help me. And this was definitely not the worst place I could have broken down. I love my country, and I think you will too. But there are many hazards here. If you don't do dumb stuff, you'll be fine. Just assume that any animal you see can kill you, that doesn't mean you have to run away screaming every time you see a big kangaroo, just admire it from a distance. Can he kill you? Yes. Is he going to? No. Do run from the big spiders though, christ they are scary. P.S. Step on your shoes and then shake them a bit then use your hand to check for spiders before putting them on.

I used to go to work with a tennis racquet in my hand here on the Sunshine Coast when I lived in Caloundra. You could see maggies coming at you on the way to the bus stop in the morning during nesting season because they lived in gum trees on a traffic island just across the road from it. I swatted a few like giant mosquitoes in my time. Luckily at night when you get home these ones didn’t bother you. Daylight though? These ones were T-800’s with wings. Magpies strike fear into the heart of any Australian, manliest man, toughest woman or the most fearless feral country kid, more than the spiders, snakes, stone fish, cone shells, cassowaries, blue ringed octopus, box jellyfish, bluebottles, irukandji, tiger, bull & great white sharks and Drop Bears ever will. Let’s not get started on the Gympie-Gympie plant. Magpies, “The Terror From The Skies”… they still scare the absolute shit out of me.

And with all the fauna and flora, the thing most likely to kill you in Australia is still the climate. Statistically, any time we have the sort of big bushfire that kills people, twice as many people will have died of heat in the weather leading up to the fire. So if 100 people died in the fire, another 200 died of heat and the news stories just didn't bother to mention them. Dying of heat isn't newsworthy here.

While Australia may not have the most venomous animals in terms of numbers of species; it does have 20 of the 25 most-venomous snakes, including the top 11 most-venomous. It's also host to several of the most-venomous spiders in the world, with the Funnel Web spider often described as the deadliest in the world; and 7/10 of the most deadly jellyfish.

For many years no one has been killed from a spider bite so why need to say that?? Also on average it’s 1-1.5 people a year who die from snake venom so in other words pretty harmless to humans when comparing it to how many animals here have such deadly toxic venom. U know why our snakes venom is so potent? And it’s just kinda clicked after so many years? It’s because the prey they eat needs to be sedated as quickly as possible so the snake isn’t harmed/scratched/bitten by said mammal cuz they got no limbs or ‘teeth’ to defend themselves with. Also these amazing wonderful gorgeous snakes provide good nutrition to many of our other native animals, especially the snake babies!!

The thing I notice as an Australian wildlife enthusiast is when you compare Australian wildlife (or at least the sensationalised ones like snakes, spiders, and other venomous life) to the rest of the Tropical areas of the world, you realise that our Aussie wildlife isn't that weird or scary at all. New Guinea has all three cassowary species plus a poisonous bird, they also have three different echidna species, many tree kangaroos, pretty much all the same hazardous marine life, plus their own species of taipans and brown snakes. Brazil not only has the worlds heaviest snakes and spiders, they also have a higher quantity Medically Significant venomous species (including the dangerous wandering spiders, recluse spiders, and widow spiders), some weird marsupials like the water opossum, the most toxic amphibians (the cane toad being introduced to Australia and capable of fatally poisoning our Australian crocodiles and snakes), and electric eels which can cause a human fatality a lot faster than our most venomous fish. Even South East Asia boasts the longest venomous snake (king cobra) the only known man-eater snakes (reticulated pythons and burmese pythons) the largest venomous land animal (komodo dragon) the largest bat (golden crowned bat) venomous primates (slow loris) the largest huntsman (Laotian cave huntsman) and the largest saltwater crocodile ever recorded was found in Philippines.

Very well researched and made. The extinction of mega fauna was also around the time Lake Mungo dried up. The scientific debate about whether the Aboriginals caused their extinction or the environmental changes continues.... my bet is the environment as fridges etc did not exist and Aborigines only took what they immediately consumed.

Tasmanian devils aren’t actually predators or aggressive at all. They are actually scavengers and prefer to eat already deceased animals and bugs and they will rarely actually hunt for their own prey. They are also pretty shy in the wild and just seem to be aggressive because of the growling noise they make, they are also becoming endangered due to a disease that is effecting their face and breathing, you can see this on the faces at 3:08. Also the lizard shown at 28:08 is called the Stumpy tailed lizard, when it is threatened it will turn into a U shape and face it’s tail and head both at the predator, this gives it a 50% increase of survival as the predator will often believe that the tails is the head and rip the tail of rather than the head, they can also walk backwards to better this effect. The lizard shown at 27:25 is a Blue tongue lizard also btw

Devils aren't aggressive with humans who raise them in captivity, but in the wild, they constantly fight over scraps, territory, mates, everything. They can hunt or scavenge, just like most carnivores. The wounds are not the disease. They're from fighting. Sadly, the fighting spreads the disease that's killing them all.

Marsupials and other extant species of animals native to Australia, New Zealand and some parts of South America are likely the closest we'll ever come outside of fossils evidence found in Antarctica itself. There are however surviving species of trees and other plants that originally evolved in Antarctica and at one point would have been major components of the forests that used to cover the continent. You can find them specifically in the Valdivian Temperate and Magellanic Subpolar forests on the west side of the Andes in the southernmost parts of South America along with some forests in Australia and New Zealand for example.

"Well…we don’t have lions, cheetah, elephants, rhinos, hippos, gorillaz, chimps, hyenas, and a whole host of large wild animals. These are amongst the most dangerous animals in the world, never mind Africa. While our snakes are more venomous….we count deaths per year in single digits…one hand…. while the African Puff Adder I believe is about 32,000 deaths. We have kangaroos, wallabies and ….wombats. I don’t believe anyone has been killed by a wombat unless it fell off a ladder and landed on someone. We don’t have tsetse flies. We don’t have malaria …. still the most dangerous organism to humans on the planet, at over 400,000 world wide. The only thing I can say about Australia as being the most dangerous Australian creature is one that inhabits Australia’s most popular location….not going to the toilet…or drinking beer…or ….driving cars…but the beach. The Chironex Fleckeri or Box Jelly. Even a minor sting is bad enough but a major sting is fatal. It is so bad that the Ambulance and the Life Savers carry the anti-venene because every second counts. The rest…well…they do try to avoid humans. Except crocs. Crocs will just march right through your front door and take you out while you’re munching on your Weet-Bix. But Africa has them too."
