The British Boys Freak Out Over Weird Australian Animals 

Ancient Egypt: The ibis is a sacred messenger of Thoth. Modern Australia: Stupid Bin Chicken.

I was eating meat pies with a friend at uni when an ibis perched on my friend's shoulder and stabbed its peak into her pie. She screamed and dropped the pie, just how it wanted her to. Then, it scooped up the remains and flew away. The audacity of these birds smh 💀

Australia is gods animal dlc test server

ok , the deal about kangaroos is that they like all marsupials are born terribly underdeveloped and then have to climb all the way from the vulva to the pouch of the mother , and to do that they need swole arms with defined fingers , preventing them from developing hooves and walking on four legs like deers and horses ... koalas survive because eucaliptus was the most common plant around there and nothing else can eat it , so it's comparatively free food if you have the necessary tools to process it , and also they survive because they are too big for anything that climbs trees to mess with , have vicius claws , smell bad and every prey can deal with some amount of predation ... ibisis are birds in the same family as pelicanes and cormorants , they are wading birds that stay with their feet in the water eating fishes and other water things for most of their life , however due to cities being rich in trash , wich to opportunistic birds is as dense as the buffet gets , they may tend to wander around on dry land and consume food there , they aren't preyed upon by many things because they are lanky , have a vicius beak capable of pocking an eye out of anything that may get too close and they can fly , this has been the local biology nerd signing off

Another thing about Kolas. They hate being moved. Even if their environment is destroyed, if you try and move them to a new location, even if it’s perfect most just don’t adapt. They’re extremely hard to keep happy

I guess koalas survived because they were the only ones willing to eat such a shitty food, so they had no competition and had all the shitty food to themselves

The weirdest thing about Australia in context to this conversation is that you can see a little Joey in Sydney

Hopping is extremely efficient. As australia dried out and nutrient density went down, you can either evolve to eat crappy food in one place (koala), or you can evolve to move long distances without expending much energy to find new food and water. Kangaroos also evolved a piston-like diaphragm, connected to the stomach. When they hop their stomach moves back like you do in a car seat when accelerating, which pulls on the diaphragm and opens the lungs passively. When they hit the ground on the other end of the jump, the stomach pushes forward and closes the diaphragm. This means they breath for 'free' while hopping. Their ligaments and muscles store energy when they hop. The power curve for hopping looks like flying in terms of energy efficiency.

Australians are just British people who've progressed farther in their tech trees. They're like really specced out Brits. I guess you need to be that specced out when you live in real life Jurassic Park.

there's nothing in the world to convince me garnt never made the "i've got sydney at home" joke at some point while they were there.

One of my favourite things as an Australian is watching foreign influencers talk about how much they enjoyed their time in Australia.

Take them back to Australia in December or January then they can complain about the heat.

garnt hot take "Australia is just happier UK"

considering the amount of clearing going on in NSW (the size of Tasmania over the last 9 years) koalas may actually go extinct in NSW by 2050. ibis are a swamp bird that live around mangroves. You'll see them around cities and towns because those places were built on top mangroves of or next to waterways.

Conner: ibis are too big... *emu and cassowary have entered the chat*

The bin chickens are weird but nothing compares to the bats in Sydney. Literally giant fucking bats fly around the city casually

“However this lack of brain power gives the koala a discrete evolutionary advantage, in that it does not give a fuck.” -zfrank

Wish they saw Wombats. They’re one of those animals that turns out to be a lot bigger than you think they’d be

COnner: these birds are too big to exist. They are too easy to capture. Let me tell you about the Great Emu War.....

4:18 Connor read the copy pasta, and he doesn't realise how smart Koalas actually are. They're evolutionary masters. They took a source of food that a country is covered in with zero competitors, and there's nothing wrong with not taking food if it came from others. Koalas have a specific gut flora, and it makes sense not to mess with it by eating something of foreign origins.

Australia’s biodiversity is totally intertwined with the mass extinction event linked to the period when First Nations people arrived. Any large herbivores were hunted to extinction, and so large carnivores died out. The only notable carnivore left is the dingo, which were introduced by the aboriginal settlers. The cultural or hunting practice of starting wildfires favoured flora that bounce back from or require wildfire. Grasslands bounce back, and so replaced woodland areas, and with no competition, and very few predators kangaroos exploded. Eucalyptus trees are either fire resistant or are germinate by fires. So when fire became more common they took over. And because their leaves are poisonous, the only animal that could eat them because way more successful.

Our spiders are pretty cool too... I had a good sized huntsman with one leg missing free-ranging around my house for a while. I named him Septimus

Ibis is an estuary bird and part of the ecosystem, they have a brilliant immune system and are highly resistant to ingesting poisonous species like the Cane Toads (which are ecological disaster)... one of only a few animals that can eat them.

8:01 "A really long thicc bla.... NO I mean a really long slender", We all know what you meant Garnt.

Upto 90% of some koala population have chlamydia. Another fantastic fact about the chill bears down under.

Australia is New Game+ Britain

I'm not from australia, but I lived in melbourne for a few years, then I went to sydney and I was also like "wtf is that". Truly a weird bird (the bin chickens) to find in the middle of the city

Bats. Bats sleeping in the thousands during the day in Sydney Botanical Gardens, right downtown. Bats filling the sky at night in Melbourne near the university.

I was having a picnic with friends in Hyde Park and a couple of Ibis came up to us, I shooed the closest one away and it bit my finger. didn't bleed but it still f******* hurt

Can't believe I was like a 15 minute drive away from Garnt like a month or so ago wow. So glad he got to see the beauty of the Yarra Valley ranges and not just the cities.

FYI, koalas can be fucking vicious. Like a junkie on a comedown they get Clark Kent powers.

Come to the states, we got Canadian geese everywhere and they’re huge

Hot take: Australia is just Britain on new game plus

Australia is terrifying

8:01 *AYO GARNT WHY U SUS BRO?*

I love how Australia is safe and there is no incidents even though we have some dangerous spiders and snakes. I have never seen a snake besides the zoo

Joey is a lucky man to have never heard of an ibis attack

They should travel round more is they visit again. The blue mountains, Cairns, Hamilton Island, Tasmania, the SA wine regions ect. It really is a beautiful place.

I remember when I was six I had this banger cheese sandwich, but a bin chicken stole it at the botanical gardens, I fought it off but it won and took it, I was traumatised that day

Not gonna lie, that moment when they were talking about being on Sydney with Sydney was a bit mind blowing for me xd

The seagulls in my part of Australia (WA) they attack you and when my older brother was little he nearly got swallowed by a pelican and one stole my food when I was little so I stranged it and nearly killed it

Growing up in Healesville. Ibis were everywhere. I remember in prep them stealing food right out of my hands during lunch. My parents own a pony farm. At one point they got a bit of an ibis problem. Think it’s mainly Cockatoos now. Btw ibis stink so bad. When they fly off if you are close by, you just get a huge whiff of their odour.

Ibis are wetland birds and the long beak is for poking into mud after worms etc. the very splayed feet allow them to walk on top of weed or muddy areas.

Garnt was pretty sus when describing the beak of the bird

Lmao and that is why Australia is the British Texas.

Australia just terrifies me.

Australia is the new account+ option that's only available if you have the DLC and have already failed the Revolutionary War storyline and lost access to Georgia

"Is that a Pokémon?!" 🤣

Australia always gets a bad wrap for 'dangerous wildlife', but the reason koalas aren't hunted is because we don't have dangerous wildlife - they have few if any natural predators. We got some heckin big birds, but they aren't very common and a koala needs to leave a tree to be a target. At least in australia we wont get jumped by a big cat or a bear while camping. keep your tent closed and you'll be peachy.

I hope nothing bad happens to their friendship

8:01 ill be waiting for this clip of garnt at the next awards

Ibis are on our farm all the time eating the bugs in the crops.

Trinidad has red ibis, they looks cool

No guys Australia is the third account First account you’re learning the game Second account you’re optimising the game Third account you’re fucking around

I only learned about the Ibis through "A SONG ABOUT BIRDS"

2:12 Sydney is just Melbourne but gambling and horrendous coffee, oh and gang was

Lots of Australian animals bounce. Suitable way of locomotion over the terrain? But it’s a common trait.

i would literally be terrified of Australian wildlife lmao i've seen the spiders they have and NO THANKS

The ibis are wetlands birds. Ongoing drought has forced them to migrate to Sydney

You need to show them a buff red kangaroo!

These guys need to hear a song about birds, great song about the ibis

You didnt get to experience Sydney, we went to the reptile park 😂 .. Yeah, thats not in sydney 😂

man it feels good to live in Australia as my life

8:00 garnt you good?

No no no YOU DO NOT MESS WITH KANGAROOS-THOSE GUYS ARE YOLKED

if people havnt clipped garnt trying to show what the bin chickens beak looks like ill be surprised haha

Maybe you should take the Ibis as your totem - bin chicken for trash talk.

Its so sad the sydney could properly see sydney, sydney itself must be sad that sydney couldnt see sydney and sydney was probably devastated that she could see sydney

Knew a bloke who has to pause in between apex matches to smack the shit out of an ibis trying to get in through his window with a flyswatter. It smelled his food and stuck it's head in like "hey gimme ur food bitch"

8:00 pause

Tier Zoo has so much influence over us

8:01 is so memeable. Like ultra memeable

Hadedas here (our ibis) eat earthworms and grubs. So they're just your basic bird ecologically 🤷 9:23 ah neato makes sense

lmao we got ibis in florida too but the idea of trying to catch is crazy to me bc the moment you get too close, they fly away. also , their beaks are pink instead of black here.

I find this really funny because my countries National Bird is literally the Scarlet Ibis

Those damn Australian dinosaurs back at it again

This made me think they should absolutely create Pokémon based off of Australian animals

WAIT OTHER COUNTRIES DONT HAVE IBIS??? I live on a farm and we get Ibis all the time but we usually get black or rainbow ones. We do have some pretty cool birds like cockatoos, cockatiels, budgies and a shit ton of parrots. Worst ones for me are lorikeets but not sure if U get em down south they will crawl on you and steal food out of your hand they have no fear my arm is covered in scratches cuz of em. Also I love how you said Australia's just beaches but %90 of our country is desert and bush.

man just wait till they see that horned murder bird the Cassowary.

I thought I was watching TierZoo... Maybe I should probably stop smoking krokodil... Lol!

Oo… I now want the Trash Taste Bois to come down to South Africa. Our Ibises are even more wack, fuckin’ Hadeda (pronounced “Har-Dee-Dar”) and our Monkeys and Baboons will be something Connor would love

Have the guys seen the "AUSTRALIA'S DEADLIEST ANIMALS (SONG)" because it's the best

I'm kind of disappointed the boys didn't get to see any drop bears...

I don't know if it's just me or why it's just me but hearing Connor saying tortoise the way he does is kinda weirdly adorable to me... I don't know if it's just pronunciation or the fact that I hear tortoise a lot (Due to me living in the southwest where there are some that live here) and that his English being very refined that it just sounds different 🤔 just me

there are populations of feral wallabies in the UK, they were originally imported as pets.

They didn’t encounter the platypus, the lord of jank?

You can't put berejiklian in the thumbnail

Wanna talk about the weirdest evolution of animals in Australia? talk about the platypus.

Bin Chickens also eat small crabs at least that's what I think they are doing

Australia is England new game plus

8:00 Garnt ultra sus

Koalas have smooth brains

Adelaide SA is where the wineries and breweries are

Koalas in the rain...

Seton Academy: Join the Pack! that koala waifu

Look if you ever come to Brisbane Stafford Queensland where I'm from there's heaps of them and no you are not aloud to pick them up and they are so loud that I have to close my windows they start there's voices around 1.am in the morning

Did you show them the song?

Trash Taste Australia Tour when?

Lucky you missed the drop bears, they can be lethal

Good ol bin chicken thumbnail
