  • There’s a fairly simple explanation for all the crazy stuff in Australia: Australia has historically been so geographically isolated that the wildlife didn’t necessarily face the same environmental pressures to evolve along similar paths as all other wildlife on earth.

  • I love when channels talk about how an animal makes a crazy sound and then proceed to not actually let us hear what it sounds like. It's my favorite thing. I love it so much. It definitely doesn't make me irrationally annoyed.

  • 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. This country is Metal AF, probably explains why I am too 🤘Stay safe out there mate.

Essentially, the larger an island is and the closer the island is to a mainland continent is one of the major components of island biodiversity.

Given the type of animal life that lives there, it’s believed this isn’t a fictional story like monsters in other cultures and was actually an animal that was very real and the memory of it was preserved by their ancient ancestors. It’s extinct now but they did live in Australia and the story was probably a real life account of ancient humans encountering these giant animals and passing down the story.

  • Australian mainland was home to many different species that are no longer on the mainland or are extinct outright. a lot of these species now are or were located in Tasmania. The culprit was the dingo that was introduced around 3000 yrs ago with the arrival of seafaring aboriginals. Some of the species that were wiped out from the Australian mainland were a number of Quall species, Tasmanian Devils and the Thylacine (Tasmanian Tigers).

At least you know where their territories are and easier to spot than a spider that can just hide in your house and bite in your sleep if you're unlucky. Also it would be still faster and probably even less painful than dying by the venom of one of Australia's creatures.

    • 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.

    • 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!!

  • 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.

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.
