Every other country: "Omg Australian wildlife is so exotic and diverse. It must be like another world over there!" Australians interacting with their local wildlife: "You're so weird looking..." *proceeds to stroll down the street in their crocs*
I live in Germany and I once met a beaver next to the river when I was riding my bike along a bikeway and my first thought was "Dude, that is a giant rat"
As a slav, living in eastern Europe, I'm fascinated by your yard. That's more animals than I've seen in my life. Incredible. I'm going to go to Australia just to see that amazing pooping spider 🥰
We are soo lucky to have so much wildlife in our major cities. Sometimes the locals forget how lucky we are and make it their mission to kill local animals 😢
As an Australian this is insane to me… I live in a rural town and I can’t step a foot outside without finding at least five different animal species, our backyard is even smaller than this guys’. I just can’t imagine life without them.
@@anneofgreengables9096 As an internet citizen I'm happy to inform you that slav boi or gurl above was probably joking. Animal life exists even in Eastern Europe, although surely far less than in Ozland. But the pooping spider is certainly worth a visit.
I would never go to Australia, its so many ways to just die there. Literally everything in Australia wants to kill u, and most of the animals there actually can. Quickly.
The beginning of the video hits so close to home. I live in a big Eastern-European city, and we literally don't get any wild animals except pigeons, sparrows and ravens. Once a seagull landed near a subway station and everyone were filming it just because it's something of a rare sight.
Okay, but could we talk about the plants? There's an alocasia just randomly growing in this man's backyard like there weren't people like me ready to loose a kidney to keep them from random withering and google says there's epipremnum pinnatum and hoyas just... growing there. And, not personally my cup of tea but those ferns are so fucking amazing
The moment I saw the part where they are no longer ignorant nor scared of the wilderness in their backyard really got me thinking “Ausies really are hella built different”
I also developed a love for jumping spiders. They all have their own personalities. Females are big and docile while males are small aggressive which just makes them cuter because when you approach them with a stick they just wave there arms at you like they want to engage in fist n cuffs
@@katalinkiss120not in size and shape. In my area there are bold jumping spiders.the females can get bigger than a dime. The males will have a more snatched waist and longer front legs. Pedipalps are also green and iridescent
Sponsors of these games are always looking for attention. The funnier or meta it is, the more they are ok with it. A suicide joke about watching an ad? Its not directed at them, its the joke that they think draws in players from the viewership.
Honeslty, being a human is so fucking lame. Like, we have to actually put in a stupid amount of effort to get a mate. We have to simp, look presentable, converse, be likeable. Why can't we just dance or yell for mates like normal animals? Why do we have to be special in the head? The things i'd do to be able to just whip my dick out and do a helicopter to get laid, without being beaten to death by the police and cannibalized by men in suits.
We get little jumping spiders here and they will come up to you to check you out if you're not poking at them or moving too much. It's very cute to have one on your wrist and feel it playing with your arm hairs. I swear they are trying to figure out what this strange new pink environment is. I also love how they follow you around with their eyes. I had one living on my house plant, but it disappeared 😕.
The depth of this guy man, its insane, he could make a video ab literally ANYTHING and it´ll still be fun and entertaining. I get pure happiness when i watch I did a thing, its so amazingly fun and wholesome, this is definitely one of the best channels on youtube regardless of genre
@Local TrashCanon You want something crazy and Australian? -The water in Australia is full of Invisible aliens that inject you with venom so bad you will be paralised and even die of cardiac arrest within minutes. -Playpi males have venomous stingers -A law; you can't keep species of snakes that arent native, at least in Tasmania -I live in Tasmania and all 2 species of snakes are venomous -If you wanted to keep a snake in my home state of Tasmania, you'd have to keep either a Dangerous Copperhead or a Dangerous Tiger Snake, Ball pythons and other safer snake species are illegal as they are not native. -You can die in Australia from an octopus no bigger than a tennis ball. -The Great barrier Reef is full of various victims of Carcinisation, the evolutionary phenomina that all the cool kids are doing; Turning into crabs
@@Ididathing every village in my country has large canals.. And in those canals there are cuvier's sward caimans and and anacondas. And sometimes they walk around the villages
Hey mate. Your fish is a golden white cloud minnow. The golden variety is a popular aquarium addition. Native to China, invasive in Australia with some serious laws regarding what to do when you find one (also not allowed to keep them in outdoor ponds). Cheers from South Africa !
@@mrbanjofrog Oh cool. Do you have laws specific to a jurisdiction/area in Australia? Like the USA perhaps. We don't have that in South Africa. We barely have laws, or at least laws that are enforced. Have your minnows been able to breed in your pond? I'm not a karen/narc, I study invasion biology and love fish in general. Curious
@@danielvanblerk4057 well I think so, at least per state. Some states have strict laws and other more laid back. I think they may have bred as I have seen fry but I think the rainbow fish eat them.
"The Butcher Birds are a relative of the magpie." Huh, they look so small and cute though. *Proceeds to impale a baby bird on the tree for a shishkebab buffet*
calling them shy is kinda funny too, out of the dozens of birds I've tried to gain the trust of, they are consistently the quickest to stand on me/eat out of my hand. it took literal YEARS to get the magpies to fully trust me, but the butcher birds just... don't give a shit. I love them so much, they're the cutest, bounciest, fluffiest little baby murderers. also yes my neighbours definitely fucking hate me for giving all of australia's loudest bastards a safe place to get snacks
There's a show called Animals of Farthing Wood. It has this bird. It shows what this bird does. Little baby me just wanted to see the cute animals find a new home.
About the fish: Some researchers have discovered that certain birds that eat fish and or aquatic plants that fish lay eggs on or around, can pass fish egg through their digestive tract and then poop them out intact. This is how they figure that manmade water holes and quarries, have developed fish populations.
I would say that isn't a possibility in this circumstance. The fish is a golden white cloud minnow, and they are extinct in the wild. So unless some bird went on a rampage in someone's house, ate all their pet fish and proceeded to shit eggs everywhere or the bird birthed the fish out of thin air, i would assume it came as a hitch hiker from the petstore he got the prawns at
Also also the prawn bit was probably a joke what pet store sells prawns. Odds are some form of animal was being fed white clouds as they are considered feeder fish by some neighbors and they managed to get dropped in
This video makes me realize again how lucky I was to grow up in the part of the US that I did (New Mexico). I saw a bunch of amazing wildlife all the time. Elk, Whitetail Deer, Pronghorn Antelope, Coyotes, Mountain Lions, Turkeys, and my personal favorite... the Roadrunner. Of course most of the ones I listed were viewed at a long safe distance, but the fact that I could see them live naturally was amazing. I remember when I was 14 on a trip with scouts watching a roadrunner hunt and kill a rattlesnake. It was one of the most intense things I have ever watched.
Just a reassurance from your local bat rescuer, the fungus in bat poop is present in most animal poop and only becomes a problem in huge concentration, and poor air flow, like a cave, which these bats don’t live in. More likely to be an issue in dairy farms than under a flying fox colony 😊
these videos make me appreciate australia so much more, always feels like a pretty barren and desolate place, but even in the backyards of Sydney's it's brimming with diversity and life. and I live in bushland! I'll make sure to pay much more attention to my backyard
I live near Chicago and the most exciting things that we have here are deer and coyotes. I've also seen turkeys in our local conservation area, and I've heard an owl hooting in the tree outside. Other than that, it's mostly just squirrels and midwestern birds, with a few hawks and the very occasional eagle
I love how possums stare, it feels so mutual as their stare isn't " I am terrified of you human" or "back away human or I will kill you". The possum is thinking "oh look a human" and the human is thinking "oh look a possum"
I might be a little bit late as im sure someone else has already said this somewhere in the coments, but Salticidae (the whole jumping spider taxonomic family) are known to be one of the most inteligent groups of invertebrates. Often seen taking new aproaches to prey and in some cases, specially with a species known as Portia Labiata, they have shown the capabilities of both remember a prey and act accordingly, hunting with specific tactics, and of hunting in small groups of two or three individuals
oh my god. roasting the sponsor by that sarcastic tone and the baby bringing money was just so delicious. He says all the damn lines they require so sarcastically smoothly, it's beautiful. it's just suble enough that he can get away with it too.
@@Ididathing Bro I wasn't done looking at the bush turkey?! That thing is incredible. Also this sponsor is the weirdest one I've seen yet, and that's without the noose building side story. They straight up throwing money at players and youtubers alike.
First video I saw of yours, and now I've binged them all lol. This is one of my favs, and I recommended it to my sister who showed her work friends. Being from depressing Michigan, it has blown all our minds the animals you can so easily see there. The fish in the glass joke really surprised me the first time watching rofl.
6:43 Fish "spawn" in bodies of water because birds eat fish eggs, these eggs are evolved so that a small percent will survive the digestive system and be plopped down into the water to hatch. It was a mystery for thousands of years.
@@mikuenjoyerXD Not when those bodies of water are empty. Dude. If there are no fish in the water. As he specifies in the video. Then fish are suddenly in water. They got there somehow. In this case bird droppings.
I was curious about what you said about jumping spiders - apparently you are right about them being intelligent. Research suggests they have intelligence that is equivalent to a 1-year-old human being; they can be taught tricks and learn to recognize people they interact with.
I went through every frame when he dropped the glass to make sure he did not actually drop the fish, and I can confirm that he did not actually drop the fish
New subscriber here. I love your sense of humour, and I REALLY love Flying-Foxes…but then I love most animals, arachnids, reptiles, and bugs . You just gave me a grand slam, thank you.🖤🇨🇦
I don't even live in a grey depressing city but the most interesting relatively common animal around where I live are woodpeckers. And you rarely ever see them, just hear them. And sometimes they decide to peck on metal poles which is really loud. Mainly because they actively seek out the loudest thing they can
I used to think it was crazy he’d wear no shoes or socks in his workplace. Now I realise it’s insane to not wear shoes or socks in Australia full stop.
Wait till you see the drop bears. Shoes don't matter to them! You could be wearing yeezies or crocs and they'll still have a munch. I wear pluggers so I can kick them bastards off quickly and run..
7:27 Yep that's definitely a minnow of some sort it might be a golden white cloud mountain minnow but it is native to China, BUT maybe it could have gotten dumped into a nearby stream or river via an irresponsible pet owner or accidentally let loose by someone and perhaps a flood might have gotten the minnow into the pond via the overflowing water.
"Australians are like Russians in that their environment is inhospitable to everyone except them" alexander the great, probably edit: woah most liked comment thanks
it honestly surprises me how many peeps dont see like 10 diff species the second they step out of their household. i've got a backyard far smaller than this dude and its still packed full with wildlife, honestly cant imagine it without them. and im like 99% there's a whole possum family living in one of our roofs lmfao
This video is honestly better than some of the Geographic shows, it is funny and it is amazing at the same time. We should take some time to appreciate I did a thing for taking the time to make this video!!
This! I don’t linger in comment sections normally but this video moved me enough to wanna see who else felt this way. Incredibly beautiful and enrapturing. Was that big spiky thing an Echidna?
"I absolutely do not recommend you to buy endangered animals online as they are always ridiculously overpriced. Instead you should buy it from me at a reasonable price with free shipping" This guy is an entrepreneur in the making
@@Callawaygolfer I’ve noticed that bro why. Are you Assuie. Because you guys do not give a fuck. I can’t even walk in my California yard that has occasional really small weak puny thorns. Y’all built different
I kinda did from the good edits but what do i know i just live on long island with no wildlife other than the water snakes, Italian wall lizards, yellow sac spiders,some wolf's bears and moose in mainland (because Long island is in New York if you didn't know),brown recluses,wolf spiders and our many species of insects being on a technical island(even though we get snow and the temp. has gotten to 16 degrees And yes i know iceland is also an island but we also get actual 90 degree heat in summer so our weather varies and i just realized i typed so much and its currently 4:02 am in long island so i should go to sleep,)
I never knew the call of what I thought were Magpies every sunset and sunrise were actually Butcher Birds, and seeing a Tawny at the park at night was dope af, and so true Jumping Spiders are dope af, I love interacting with them Love seeing all of these familiar Aussie fellas all packed into a super entertaining and well shot video!
As a Canadian who has dealt with Canadian Geese nesting in their backyard, I can tell you that I have fought the deadliest of battles against wildlife.
I don't even live in Canada but I have to deal with Canadian geese all the time, not necessarily nesting, but they occasionally decide that my back yard is the perfect place to start being territorial about when I used to have people over. Though, they often give in if there are enough people, but there was one that was quite threatening, it was genuinely scary. And it's not like they ever attack, I usually chicken out first and retreat back indoors, so props for actually being able to deal with them. I actually haven't seen any this year, I wonder if I even will this year...
The German word for bat (Fledermaus) is made from the old German word for fluttering and the word for mouse. The word for fruit bat (Flughung) is made of the words for flight dog. So we call them fluttering mice and flight dogs. Edit: As someone pointed out in the comments I was slighly wrong with my translation so I editited it. I don' want to spread misinformation. The bats here only fly at dusk and night and are pretty small, I've only ever seen them as a blur flying above me.
@@spacecthulhu399 For people who don't speak it, you guessed right, "vleermuis" = bat and literally translates to "flying mouse". I'm also reasonably sure (second language, native English-speaker) that flying foxes, like the fruit bats IDAT showed, are vleerhond, literally "flying dog". In English we call them flying foxes so to be fair we're not better lmao.
I used to live in a place with my bed next to these huge windows that were recessed about half a metre into the outside wall, so there was a big ledge next to my bed basically. I kept the windows open all the time. On a couple of occasions a possum walked straight through the window and started walking around on my legs on the bed
I live in Denmark and yeah this is insane to me, the most exciting animal here are hedgehogs or badgers. I guess unless you count the sea stuff like whales and seals but those aren't easy to spot.
Man, Poland is full of awesome animals, try travelling. You got mountains, beautiful forests & everything. It's coming from someone, who lives in the fucking steppe, where the biggest animal you can see in the wild is your dead-ass drunk neighbour.
You see squirrels where I live we have no squirrels or baggers we have a lot of birds, rats/mice and the only Small non pest mammals we have is polecats but that is only if you don’t own small birds like chickens
