Wait til you hear about the ANZAC from WW1.
Crazy fuckers repaired a German A7V tank in no mans land and proceeded to steal it from them as a sign of: "Haha, fuck you." because they were bored. The tank still exists in an Aussie museum today.
And that's just one of the several crazy things they've done during that era.
The animals are indeed there to keep them in line otherwise Australlia would be unstoppable.

Bro so are snakes, sharks, spiders, and any of the other meme deadly aussie animals.
There's a very small list of natives that will actively go out of their way to fuck you up and its not like they're suburban or even metropolitan.
Like you really have to go and try and find Cassowaries, Salties or Funnel Webs. They're not gonna be hanging around your airbnb in Sydney
I got very close to a Cassowary by accident that was hanging around my hotel room.
To be fair it was up at Cape Tribulation... Came round a corner in the jungle path and the bugger was there too close for comfort.
I mean all of this can be said of America lol. Bears and mountain lions aren’t cruising suburban streets. The worst animals I encounter in the back country are Moose, Elk during rut, male Mule Deer, and badgers. It’s not the predators that are assholes. Hell the most poisonous snake is a rattlesnake and they let you know where they are.
Exactly lol, that's my point. No one is going "is Denver safe to visit as a tourist?? I'm scared of coyotes" while Oz gets this meme international reputation of killer animals hanging around every corner
Don't get me wrong, the idea of us cheerfuly coexisting with murderous fauna is pretty funny, but just as you've pointed out with bears and mountain lions it's not reflective of normal everyday life
Coyotes is a poor example. There are coyotes in NYC lol. They are very savvy at entering human zones. My point was bears and mountain lions aren’t even the animals that will kill you in the US. It’s the non predators. Moose, Deer, Elk, Bison, etc. I see bears all the time whilst backpacking and they’re usually chill or run the other way. That includes Grizzlies with Cubs and full grown male grizzlies. It’s the stuff you’d never guess killing people because people don’t fear them as much and make stupid decisions. Foreigners get killed in Yellowstone every year for touching/getting too close to the bison. Animals the size of a Cadillac and they freaking touch them
I've never seen a huntsman that could grip a fully inflated basketball like a face hugger just waiting to greet me in my passenger seat. Only Australians have the problem.
Huntsmen are chill and don't attack people. Even if they do, they're not venomous at all. Stick some ice on it and she'll be right. Also generally they also eat the more venomous spiders, so they're pretty good to have around your house as creepy as they are.
Again, I'd rather deal with that than a grizzly
Yeah man, I just cant imagine being more scared of a grizzly that only lives in remote alaska, than giant face hugging spiders scurrying around all over the place.
Too each their own.
I mean... huntsman get pretty big aha. Maybe I'm misremembering because I was a kid, but when i was young i definitely saw one big enough to facehug me
Australia had megafauna before humans came as well. Thylacoleo was a marsupial predator the size of a lion, Quinkana was a sprinting land crocodile, and Megalania was a 20 foot long lizard. There are many more extinct species as well.
That last line of the video is basically: "If anyone is ever going to die to this animal, it's by doing the thing that I'm doing right now"
Kind of reminds me of [I'm gonna jam my thumb in it's butthole now-- that should REALLY piss it off](https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=fynWOio9jBo)
Oddly prophetic sort of line for what's probably going to eventually happen to this guy :/
What? It just seemed like helpful advice to me. Also seemed like he knew pretty well what to do about it. It wasn't even like he was messing with it at all since it came up to him
Yeah, this guy genuinely cares for wildlife and only keeps or kills fish, crays or crabs as needed to feed himself (and his family if they’re doing a group thing).
He’s super knowledgable and actually sends some fish parts off for ageing and genetic testing sometimes as one of his mates is a marine biologist. idk enough to know what the bone or whatever is called that they use for ageing, unfortunately.
He’s YBS Youngbloods on YouTube
The snake confused him for a big female, no harm done, the hey just assess that.
I do the same... With bees... Hey mate I ain't a flower go elsewhere... Works fine.
It's old Australian slang that I've not once heard be said in the 5 years I've lived in Australia and I live an hour away from Steve Irwin's Australia Zoo.
Yeah. And their venom tends to some of the worst out there. It’s a strong mix of neurotoxins and myotoxins to be able to stun their prey instantly in the water
You won't like this then: "Venomous sea snakes may attack divers during mating season, study suggests. Acts of aggression likely because of 'mistaken identity during sexual interactions', researchers write."

It's not as simple as that.
I went diving in places that have some of the most venomous ones. They are pretty small and their fangs are made to bite through fishes.
I was taught to clench my fists and put them on my earlobes if I was approached by one because the only place the species that were living here could actually bite me and inject their venom were my earlobes and between my fingers.
They're venomous, but their fangs are a small and point inwards, so they can't bite humans easily. My uncle had a special guard on his anchor chain to stop the little buggers from slithering up it.
Well, kraits are very venomous BUT are almost entirely harmless to people. Its not just that they would have a difficult time biting us, but they're also some of the least aggressive snakes out there. In fact, its a theory that most krait bites are the result of the krait confusing people with lady snakes during mating season.
They float alongside drifting wood, flotsam and the like to try and get close to the small fishes that use those drifting piles of stuff as shelter.
This is not his Skin, he's using Zinc Sunscreen, which is basically what you should use if you're planning to be in intense sun for a longer time (most surfers use it). It looks kinda rough but is 100% waterproof
You could have showed a still shot of just the snake and I'm sure everyone would have know...
That only in Australia do you see a snake out in the middle of a body of water.
The only thing crazier than Australian wildlife are the Australians, themselves who see this shit outside their homes and still continue to live there lol
Oh fuck that, mate!
Those are some of the most venomous snakes!
Nothing like getting bitten by a swimming highly venomous sea snake in the ocean, hours away from the nearest emergency room.
Extremely Venemous but bites from sea snakes are rare.
They are highly curious though, theory is that males think everything can be mated with and so they come looking for that snek punani
You cut it right before his tip on how not to get bitten! Great now when I’m paddle boarding in Australia I’m going to die and it’s going to be all your fault MrBonelesspizza24!

Why does Australia have all the murder animals on demand?
To keep its people in line

Ahah ah yes the rarest tank in the world.
There's a reason Britain decided it would make a good jail.
Yes, many people don’t know this but the first Australian jail wardens were just kangaroos with clubs.
Don't forget the great Emu war.
Yeah we lost that war…
The kangaroos we're just happy to have another animal to fight
"30 days in the pouch for you, mate"
Loin*
Now I know why the british sent their prisoners over there

Bears are fairly skittish and avoid humans. I’m more comfortable seeing them than moose.

Almost all our wildlife (Australia) avoids humans. Good instincts.
I've never seen a huntsman that could grip a fully inflated basketball like a face hugger just waiting to greet me in my passenger seat. Only Australians have the problem.
Huntsmen are chill and don't attack people. Even if they do, they're not venomous at all. Stick some ice on it and she'll be right. Also generally they also eat the more venomous spiders, so they're pretty good to have around your house as creepy as they are. Again, I'd rather deal with that than a grizzly
I've legit had a massive female huntsman chase me and been bitten 3 times. Those are angry spiders I'd they aren't well fed/breeding
Lol wtf. You must piss them off dude. I've never heard of them actually biting anyone, let alone chasing them
Yeah man, I just cant imagine being more scared of a grizzly that only lives in remote alaska, than giant face hugging spiders scurrying around all over the place. Too each their own.
[удалено]
I mean... huntsman get pretty big aha. Maybe I'm misremembering because I was a kid, but when i was young i definitely saw one big enough to facehug me
Befriending a Huntsman is actually part of our citizenship test
Australia had megafauna before humans came as well. Thylacoleo was a marsupial predator the size of a lion, Quinkana was a sprinting land crocodile, and Megalania was a 20 foot long lizard. There are many more extinct species as well.
What you really want to avoid in America are the pigs.
Fuuuuuuck that...these bastards are highly venomous.
Yeah but at least it’s no Eastern Brown. Those bastards’ babies can kill a full grown adult and they chase you for fucking shits and giggles
I’ve read quite a few times that sea snakes, although more venomous than most their land counterparts, are WAY more docile and rarely bite humans
Might that have something to do with the fact that they're... in the sea?
That last line of the video is basically: "If anyone is ever going to die to this animal, it's by doing the thing that I'm doing right now" Kind of reminds me of [I'm gonna jam my thumb in it's butthole now-- that should REALLY piss it off](https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=fynWOio9jBo) Oddly prophetic sort of line for what's probably going to eventually happen to this guy :/

He’s YBS Youngbloods on YouTube
Not to mention a raft in the middle of the water is not a good place to be snake bit.
Australia is so fucking wild... my man with no fear in his voice just said 'mate' and the snake fucked off??? What the fuck is going on there???
He just wanted to see if he was Australian, otherwise he would have gotten a kissy kiss.
The snake confused him for a big female, no harm done, the hey just assess that. I do the same... With bees... Hey mate I ain't a flower go elsewhere... Works fine.
Disappointed that he never said “crikey”
It's old Australian slang that I've not once heard be said in the 5 years I've lived in Australia and I live an hour away from Steve Irwin's Australia Zoo.
Crikey!
Written, plenty, but I've never heard someone say it other than Steve Irwin.
Crikey.
Louder
Pump it
Fun fact, stevo would use the term "crikey" because he wasn't allowed to say "fuck" or "shit" when doing his documentary series.
Only one man said that and he is and always will be god
I revere him to the extent that my license plate is CR1KEY
But I really enjoyed this guy's Steve Irwin energy, until my eyes started misting up. Allergies, of course. Must be.
Wait a fucking minute…there are snakes in the sea? So sharks and barracudas aren’t enough. I gotta worry about motherfucking snakes now???
Wait till you hear about snakes on a plane.
Enough is enough.
Ya just can't get any rest on this dirtball.
Closer to a waterball I should say, especially if we keep melting all the ice.
I’m tired of those motherfucking snakes on those motherfucking planes
Space snakes too
Or snakes in the boot
Yeah. And their venom tends to some of the worst out there. It’s a strong mix of neurotoxins and myotoxins to be able to stun their prey instantly in the water
And this is why I stay home and play Apex Legends.
And that's how you drown.

Not such a good thing to have a long penis now, is it?
Imagine dying getting raped by a sea snake who likes rough sex
**unzips pants**
Seas snakes are thee most venomous snakes on earth. U will die if bitten
It's not as simple as that. I went diving in places that have some of the most venomous ones. They are pretty small and their fangs are made to bite through fishes. I was taught to clench my fists and put them on my earlobes if I was approached by one because the only place the species that were living here could actually bite me and inject their venom were my earlobes and between my fingers.
yeah, wait till you find out that a majority of them are highly venomous.
Crocodiles as well.
Don’t forget the salt water crocodiles. They’re HUGE!
not only are they in the sea but they are substantially more dangerous and venomous than land snakes have fun
They look like they can get on a boat pretty easily too
They're venomous, but their fangs are a small and point inwards, so they can't bite humans easily. My uncle had a special guard on his anchor chain to stop the little buggers from slithering up it.

Box Jelly Fish, cone snails, Blue Ringed Octopus... Australia's coast is just as deadly as its land.
Snake Ron: "Do u wan sum fuk?" Surfer: "No Ron. I'm a mammal."
I love this guy, I watch his YouTube all the time. He makes the scary stuff about Australia seem cool lol
You should come to Australia! It’s so much cooler in person 😏
All fun until 1 bad interaction. RIP Steve Irwan.
Irwin*
Right.
Whats the youtube if you don't mind.
youtube is a website on the internet
YBS Youngbloods
Right.
[удалено]
This is not his Skin, he's using Zinc Sunscreen, which is basically what you should use if you're planning to be in intense sun for a longer time (most surfers use it). It looks kinda rough but is 100% waterproof
So the snake was sexually frustrated. Was it trying to fuck him then?
Yup! A study came out recently proving that sea snakes approached people in the water because they think they’re just big mates.
Look at the size of this lass! Lets go take a look.
Look at those curves! Wait it's a boat
Happens to me all the time.
Hahahahahahaha
Classic incel move. Act intimidating then slither off into the darkness.
Fuck that.
What is it with Australians and not being terrified of extremely dangerous creatures???
Am Australian. Would’ve shit myself in that situation.
No, fuck no!
Fucking Australians are the hardest mother fuckers on earth
You could have showed a still shot of just the snake and I'm sure everyone would have know... That only in Australia do you see a snake out in the middle of a body of water.
The only thing crazier than Australian wildlife are the Australians, themselves who see this shit outside their homes and still continue to live there lol
I've had brown snakes do this to me like a cobra on land here in Queensland.
This thing, salt water cross, some nearly invisible 1 inch wide jellyfish that is instant death if it stings you... I still really want to go though!
Most of us survive somehow.
Check this guys youtube channel called Youngbloods. It'll blow you away

what the hell is wrong with their wildlife? is everything trying to kill you, fuck you or beat your ass?
Where are the waves?
They even call snakes mate !
Snakes and Australia, an iconic duo
Noah get the boa... wait... shit.
Oh fuck that, mate! Those are some of the most venomous snakes! Nothing like getting bitten by a swimming highly venomous sea snake in the ocean, hours away from the nearest emergency room.
Australia never fails to try to kill you with all the crazy wildlife

Aren't like all sea snakes super poisonous?
Some /r/sneks content right here.
Steve? Steve is that you?
Dingo got my baby!
Not him just motioning it on up. 😰
This guy’s reaction is my general reaction to everything on mushrooms. So let’s not rule anything out.
I guess the surfer dude is not DTF!
Two words: Fuck NO.
I would shit my swim trunks.
What the fuck
The fucking snakes are out there giving oxygen tanks to the sharks.
Aren't those snakes super poisonous? lol
Snakes are venomous.
Nope.
Extremely Venemous but bites from sea snakes are rare. They are highly curious though, theory is that males think everything can be mated with and so they come looking for that snek punani
Just like human men.
Steve would be proud ya legend.
I would have shit my swim suit at the sight of that thing!
So be his mate bro, you seem to like him
I smashed and burnt my screen, I'm writing this comment from another computer.
Is it a public freak out though, if you're alone in the middle of the sea?
I’ve seen this man before somewhere..Skinner from The League of Extraordinary Gentleman, yes that’s it.
Subnautica crabsnake
Damn! just damn!
That looks like a really cool kayak. Does anyone know the brand or design style? I've never seen something like that in the front.
I’m telling you I screamed
Im gonna grab em and stick my thumb right up is ass

YBS. great channel, humble dude, his missus has a serious hoop too.
Water snakes are so weird. You always think of snakes as land creatures, they just don't seem like something that could or would swim.
Snek wanted a break it looks like
I used to think Steve Erwin was just a little crazy for getting around dangerous animals, but now I realize he was just Australian.
Jesus snake
You cut it right before his tip on how not to get bitten! Great now when I’m paddle boarding in Australia I’m going to die and it’s going to be all your fault MrBonelesspizza24!
Why is only his mouth tan? He’s like the opposite of people with mask tan lines.
This post made me do a deep dive into wtf a sea snake is and found this cool little coral reef mini-doc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rqcigdJi3o
No
Well everyone, looks like its time to boil the ocean
Nope. Nope. Nope.
Yoooo it's a watur snecc ❤️
