Hey that's a good idea. If we Aussies end up at war with anyone, drop venomous snakes on the enemy instead of bombs. Or would that be classed as a war crime?
Hi edith , if you are aware they exist and keep it in the back of your mind you won't get bitten. It's only when walking in the bush/forest/outback that you need to be aware otherwise it's mostly ok(mostly :-)).
Kelvin Beels I have an albino Burmese python called Pricilla, she’s 6 years old now. My dad keeps venomous snakes, helps the scientists with providing venom for antidotes not your typical female 😂 dad doesn’t let me handle his snakes but I know how to in an emergency! It’s just being in a country where they are out and about that makes me nervous 😂
🇦🇺 As an Australian I have seen most of the snakes in the wild and oddly enough they have never scared me. I have even seen a taipan whilst riding my bike he looked at me I looked at him and I think we were scared as each other and we moved on😀
Yeah I was at walking up these stairs at a look out at night so I had my torch on looking down and I just happened to look up and 3 stairs further up was a taipan reared up ready to strike but yeah I just walked away left it alone and that's that
shazad ali king is just a name and a title.A king isn't a better fighter than a warrior.Cobra may be at the top but there are still plently of others who can beat it.
This reminds me so much of the Karl Baron joke how Australians undersell everything as no big deal. This bloke handling the 2nd deadliest snake in the world and leaves with a big smile thanking the person. Rex is a legend he just needs to sort out his desktop.
@@martynohara8101 but actually that's the fact.. Australian continent is most suitable for reptiles to live than any other continent on earth..that's the reason more snakes bites and deaths happen here..but Australian snakes are the most venomous is not a correct statement
@@Adithya_varma the word venomous relates to the toxicity of the venomous and not how dangerous the snake is because of it proximity to a large population of people. The potency of snake venom is measured by LD50 :ie the amount of venom need to give a Lethal Dose (LD) to 50 mice. The LD50 for many Australian snakes such as fierce snake, brown snake, eastern taipan, Tiger snakes is significantly lower than mumbas cobras and vipers. The fierce snake ( Inland Taipan) has the most toxic snake venom on earth including sea snakes. Look it up from a reliable source. The fierce snake actually isn't that dangerous because people are not anywhere near its habitat. Brown snakes however are often in my back yard and that can be a little concerning😉
Brother the new research is showing that is the fault of brain which is acting in a ferocious way to keep us alive no matter what. So basically is not your girlfriend's fault. With the power of love, patience and understanding you can train her brain in order to chill out and optimise her behaviour. Have a gr8 day.
Weird. My wife and I live in a South African community surrounded by game reserves. Almost everyone we know here is terrified of snakes - except us - and we have three species of cobra, puff adders, mambas and a variety of other snakes in the area. My wife knows what to do if she should encounter one. I've been an amateur herpetologist for the past sixty-odd years, so snakes are of interest to me, not creatures that invoke terror. Learn about the snakes in your area, learn to identify them and then you'll eliminate most of your fear, because most snakes are non-venomous. Some will bite, but cause no reactions in humans. In the four years we have been here, two people have reported snakes in their gardens and I caught and released a small puff adder we found in ours. That's three snakes in four years, in a GAME RESERVE AREA!
@@SenhorTudo and Australia has 10 out 10 of the world deadliest snakes. So like Africa's fit into the top 20. Personally don't like them. And we have non venomous snakes in Canada. To be honest I think the most deadly things we have are bears. All the super deadly things were very large so the ice age took care of them for us. Like direwolves and North American lion(makes Africa's look like a kitten)
@@BWBDCan I discovered, a long time ago, that the deadliest snake in the world is the venomous one that has just bitten you - well, sort of. When I was bitten by a Snouted Cobra (known back then as the Egyptian cobra Naja haje annulifera} I was so relaxed about it that my wife had to call the ambulance, because I thought it no big deal. Some of us are level-headed under any circumstances. The scary part was the ambulance ride to the hospital: the medics though I was going to kick the bucket forthwith, even though I assured them that it takes up to six hours for symptoms to begin showing. I even told the doctor to go on with his other patients ( victims of a car crash) and that I would let him know when I began to feel uncomfortable. It took about four hours before my chest began to feel a bit tight. Animals, reptiles and insects do not scare me in the least: I study them in an amateur capacity, so they are a source of fascination, rather than terror. I wish more people realised that they are NOT "out to get us".
@@tevinsmallwood7390 what the hell else are they going to do with it? Kill it? Kill something because it's naturally venomous? Humans are the cancer, not the wildlife.
That's because snakes are only dangerous to us if we don't see them or we act like idiots with them. They don't hunt us, and if we want to kill one all we need is a shovel.
"Fast and aggressive when disturbed, the Australian Western Brown Snake is notoriously dangerous to capture" Aussie man with no gloves, a bag, and a stick: this is fine
ChickSquid ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZskHlD-HZ_g.html Skip to 2:14 if you can’t can’t bare to watch how Singaporean catch it in 2 minutes, while the Indian just put it into his sarong within 15 seconds
I LOVE the way he captures the snake & releases it out in the middle of nowhere..... Most people will capture a snake & be headed them right then & there. My favorite snake is the Green Anaconda, (just to see, NOT to keep).
The term dinosaurs simply means terrible lizard. This term is only or should only be used to refer for prehistoric giant reptiles. Nothing today is a dinosaur nor should be considered one.
Most of us who spend a lot of time in the bush don't worry too much about snakes. Sure, you see them occasionally, but it's more likely to be the last bit of its tail disappearing into the long grass, or under a shrub than a face to face encounter. You just need to keep a watch out for them. I've only encountered two aggressive snakes in the 60 years since we moved to Australia, one was an eastern brown which made a fast attacking move towards us when my partner and I encountered it on a walking track, the other was a tiger which I nearly stepped on. Neither persisted with the attack beyond the first lunge. As for most venomous, the coastal taipan is only marginally less venomous than the inland one and has a reputation for aggression. Before the development of a specific antivenom, there were only two known survivors from a bite by one and at least one of these was suspected to have been a 'dry' bite. Even with antivenom treatment, survival is far from guaranteed.
Had a brown snake downstairs last week. About to walk out to take my son to school and said ‘stop, snake’. The snake moved quick as a flash. I said to my son ‘nope not going out today’
I swear, Australia is where the devil keeps his pets Edit: guys it’s a joke calm down Edit2: why is there a religion war in the replies I just wanted to make a joke ;-;
Me: "So what kind of protective gear do you wear when you catch the snakes?" Rex: "Well I always keep me cap on, don't wanna end up getting burned by the sun!"
...and what, exactly, is the snake supposed to do to that ant? Bite it? The ant would have to sit still while the snake positions it's fangs above it with surgical precision. and what would that accomplish for the snake, anyway? Frankly, the snake probably wouldn't even try to eat the ant whole, because it's just so small; even if the ant were on the ground, where the snake wouldn't have to bite itself to get said ant, the snake would end up eating more dirt than ant.
King Browns & Tiger snakes were very common on my grandparent's farm in Western Victoria. The Tigers were ok... quite shy and happy to get out of your road as long as you left them an escape route. The Browns were a different story and could often be hyper aggressive and come at you. Any time we found a dead farm dog, cat, chook or even cow, my grandfather was always convinced they'd been on the wrong end of a Brown. It's fair to say he didn't practice catch and release methods when he found one and got the better of it.
King Browns are actually of the Pseudechis genus so they're closer to red bellies than "true" brown snakes (Pseudonaja), which include Eastern Browns, Western Browns and Dugites most prominently. It's best not to try to kill the poor bastards. It's a sad thing to kill such an elegant animal and part of the ecosystem. It's illegal. And trying to do it is one of things that ends up with people getting bitten.
When I lived in Alice Springs I had to call the Snake Removal team to remove a large brown snake from the front yard where I was changing the oil on my car - he crossed my path moments after I went inside to get a spanner came out there he was sliding past my car into the bushes - the snake removal guy caught the snake with such ease even took a moment to show to its huge fangs by taking it out of the bag and he held it by the back of its head in such a way as to open the snakes mouth - the snakes are taken for milking their venom and then they are released outside the town limits. These snakes are very venomous and can kill within 2 hours and are most common in October which is their mating season. In fact I saw several more casually crossing the road while I was driving - generally they do no attack humans unless they are trapped or threatened - best thing to do is back off and call the experts
Every winter I wish I lived somewhere warmer then Canada... Then I watch something like this, and suddenly 5 months of too cold for venom isn't so bad!
I seen an inland taipan, just today. People also call them 'Fierce Snakes'. They're a pretty chilled out snake, compared to Brown snakes. Best just to stay calm and they'll stay calm. If you don't need to go near them, DONT! Always call a snake catcher when they're in your house.
vsboy 25 The deadliest predator of all is Mick Taylor, pig hunter and Outback Legend. Not to mention he can never be captured or killed, so he's not something you wanna meet. Once he picks a victim, he won't stop till he gets them. You interfere in his hunt, he takes it personally and will torture you beyond your worst nightmares! He's no human, he's no demon, he's not even a god! He's simply a real monster...
Around where I call home we have the Inland Taipan, Eastern Brown, Common Death Adder, Mulga Snake, Collette's Snake, Mouse Spider (looks a lot like a Sydney Funnel Web but smaller) and countless Redback Spiders. I'd say the Browns are the most aggressive, especially large ones. Besides the Death Adder and spiders I catch and relocate the rest fairly often from September to March while it's hot. They stir up a bit being bagged but are happy to get away from you when released. Most people are bitten walking with no light at night, bushwalking (Death Adders mostly) or trying to kill them. First two reasons are from standing on one, third is the snake defending itself.
@@rosekeyes3189 yes, theyre usually ok, but can be aggressive. A “big red” roo can be 6-7 foot and muscley. Yes…we see em a lot. If ya driving at night on the highway there can be 100s on a 1 hour drive.
@@shoveluffu9664 One more question, and you don't have to answer it....Have you ever seen a Sidney Funnel Spider in person? I'm asking to see how safe Australia is to visit in the future.
