As european, I now understand Australian strict border control. It's not for them stopping our harmless bugs entering their land, but for us to keep their monsters from spreading all over the globe!
🤣🤣that is so damn true! as a Floridian born and raised I would never and have never had an interest in traveling to the land down under 😶🌫️ and I've lived 90% of my life without shoes 💖 seen many gators, giant spiders and huge snakes but Australia is on steroids when it comes to crazy ass creatures.... Even the sand could be poisonous 🤣😰 nope at least I could swim in my beach 😧
@@skiiiiiiiii2793 Oz has some of the best swimming beaches in the world. And some of the most incredible landscape. Please don't go though - they defo don't need any Americans
That's some kind of a bristle worm tho. Could be sandworm or clam worm, both are commonly harvested and used for live fishing bait. Bobbit worms live in the sand at the bottom of the ocean, not at beaches. Check out blood worms if you want to see something even more creepy!
All jokes aside. Are these those worms that are known for burying itself in male human urethra (dick hole) from swimming in the ocean? You can totally disregard this comment if I'm way out in left field....but i could have sworn I've heard someone who told me there was something that bury themselves in dudes dicks when they are like swimming in the ocean. That alone terrified me more than some massive shark or spider.
Wish ihad footageof my old grandma back in the70s who used fishheads on a line, swishing them back n forth till a worm showed itself and then, with her bare fingers, would grab behind the head and pull threm up like a boss. She was the best bait bar around and the men of the family loved her for it.
I mis the beach. I live 1500kms from any coastline in Australia. To get there I have to travel through a scorching desert filled with poisonous snakes, spiders and other nasty insects. Cross crocodile infested rivers then I can enjoy swimming in shark infested, box jellyfish infested waters. I love my country.
@@john_duds6282 how, Ive literally been all around this joint and worked the mines and it's there is nothing crazy about this place besides Aboriginals destroying shit and a bunch of kids trying to be Americans.
That’s a Bristle Worm, I’ve pulled those out of my saltwater reef tank on numerous occasions, that exact size too. They are scavengers and eat whatever is on the ocean bottom, live in the sand, and if you touch it you will regret it as those bristles hurt
The fact that it is bothering you means you will remember the thousands of beach worms that feed on flesh. Notice the worm is 3 feet long and is strong enough to be pulled from the sand.
My late MIL would sprinkle "Belacan" (shrimp paste) water by the shore and they'd just pop up and she'd just scoop it up. I would never want to touch it
As an Aussie, I can confirm that this is why I don’t go to the beach no more🗿🗿 Edit; I’m almost starting a world war, I didn’t mean to offend people I’m sorry ☠️- I just meant I won’t be able to walk on sand without the thought of stepping on a worm run threw my head. And by that I mean how there’s the possibility that I’ll step on some sand, and the worm could be high in the sand which might lead to me fully stepping on it, I know there’s worms everywhere- I’m just saying I!d subconsciously go ‘what if there’s a worm’
They are excellent for fishing in the ocean. Unlike night crawlers those worms bite. They are also called blood worms because they appear to bleed red. $6 -11 per dozen in Maine and NH.
Beach worms are one of the best baits to use, I just use a pilchard and catch them bare handed, it's not that difficult and you don't have to wait, as soon as you've got a good grip just stand up, they can bite but it's just a nip. Get mixed reactions, some people watch for a bit, others freak out because they had no idea those things were under their feet.
@@bigpapaplantman5126 Oh, I would happily give the Silver Medal to Arizona! I have walked those roads and spotted the scorpions in those toilets as well. I couldn't agree more with you!🤣🤣🤣
As a kid we would take some rotten meat to the beach on a string and be ready with pliers to get them when they came for the meat. Best bait! And yes i am Australian 😊
I'm like 98% sure I was bitten by this guy's Floridian cousin on my right-hand ring finger. I was swimming in the surf at Sabastian Inlet, and did a handstand in the water, and something crunchy and squishy bit the bejeezus out of me. I had a puncture wounds in and arc around my finger, and the finger, and the flesh of my palm near the finger swelled up badly for most of a day. It COULD have been a skate or something, but the wound better fits a polychaete bite.
I remember back in the 80s on an Ayrshire beach in Scotland, me and my friends used to dig rag worms on the beach. Normally it's lug worms you get. " but we were close to rocks and thease had black pincers that would come out and try and bite you. Normally rag worms are around 4" to 10" long. Well we were digging king Rag worms which were just over 1 metre in length. The heads were the same thickness as your thumb. They were dug out over a few years as it was only a small area that contained those sizes. Those worms were true monsters. I've never to this day saw anything close to those sizes.
@Dixie Ten Broeck You know absolutely nothing about sea fishing...!!! Their millions of rag worms. Just very few king rag worms. And we call them king rag because their've over grown.
Pilot over P.A. system: "we're gonna have to make an emergency landing in Australia..." Me: thinking of the fastest way to end myself before the plane touches ground 🤢
I bet she could rescue spiders and gently evicts bats if they showed up into her home. Still it's nice to be relied on by my sister and mom when that happens if I am nearby.
