Note that at the time of this paper's publication, the funnel-webs were still considered a subfamily of the Hexathelidae. Their taxonomy has since been revised, and they now form their own family, the Atracidae.

• DEADLIEST SPIDER BITE!
Down bad “just like kids in American schools” 😂
Always found a bit of black humour never hurt haha
As an American I also cackled
Not all schools are bad here.
As someone who grew up around Australian bush, the animals I've been scared of are horses and bulls. Maybe some of the larger roos, and there are some epic feral pigs around too.
Snakes and spiders just run off if you bother them
And rationally so. Horses and bulls kill far more people in Australia annually than all the native wildlife combined.
@@BugsandBiologyreally, horses? Damn
Bro I’m an American, and I damn near spit my coffee out laughing at the the American kids joke. I’m weak as f. But bro, you can’t be mad at us for fearing your country’s wildlife, it’s a stark contrast in terms of what we have in the spider department. As far as the shootings comment, we wouldn’t be Americans if we didn’t have guns my dude. Everyone always bangin on the Americans about their guns but nobody complains about it when the wolfs at the door. We love Australians over here bro, why yall always looking to hate on us for some reason pmaoo😂😂. No, but seriously tho, I love your videos my man. I binge them frequently. Especially for the fact that you actually know your shit about these spiders, some of your video’s absolutely blow my mind bro. And I’m not referring to guns
I mean, nearly every country has its fair share of wacky and dangerous wildlife. I just find it odd how Australia gets singled out every time, even though nearly everything dangerous here could be fended off with a stick, and avoided by simply taking a step back. Can't say the same about hazardous animals overseas.
How the heck is your channel only at 26k subs! It's so informative and easy to understand, well put together and logical.
You can see right away with the spider that it's rearing up in self defense saying GTF away from me or it'll be bad for you.. If you in turn came face to face with a Grizzly bear or any other large pred from the US you wouldn't get a warning like the spider is giving you would just be mauled. Almost every spider bite that happens is in self defense, maybe the spider crawled inside your shoe/boot and you didn't shake it out properly when camping, or you're unfortunate enough to have one in your house and you almost roll over on it in the middle of the night and it bites in self defense thinking you're attacking it or something, but I don't think I have ever heard about or read about a spider just hunting for a human to bite, that's why I don't like the way Coyote presents his bites, he is forcing these creatures to bite/sting him, you can see with a couple of his sting videos he literally has to press the insect down on his almost crushing it to get it to sting/bite him, I get he's trying to document stings/bites but there's got to be a better way, either way keep up the amazing, informative content. Also as an American I love this channel, and while i will say getting through school was tough, I had to learn to dodge bullets like neo from the Matrix but it was worth it for the cat like reflexes I have now haha!
Excellent video as always I do love your expert comments on some of these subjects it’s absolute fascinating. I do in general enjoy coyotes channel although as you quite rightly pointed out he can’t be a bit dramatic please keep this coming absolutely fascinating and really interesting
Yeah for someone who claims to want to spread interest in wildlife and presumably conservation, he sure does hype up the fear factor of the animals quite a bit.
Exactly. It’s my main problem with him.
Never been a big fan of coyote Peterson. As a parent I think it’s bad idea for wildlife to bite and envenomate you. Far cry from Steve Irwin, or Jeff corwin when I grew up.
Humour is on point! Hahaha. Keep 'em coming
Cheers mate!
Coyote Peterson is what you would get if Steve Irwin and Johnny Knocksville got in the same teleporter
Now that's out of the way, my biggest issue with the "Australia is dangerous" tag is that it is equally interesting to say we have a lot of the most venomous creatures in the world. Which isn't an exaggeration. Add that to largest species of crocodillian, the big 3 sharks (which let's face it, most countries bordered by water have to some degree) and my personal favourite most dangerous bird and that's your opening! Why do we need do make it sound like Australia is the Hunger Games?
“I don’t think that line will ever get old just like kids in American schools” dead as fuck lol
Knew from the get go that would be my most memorable line in this video...
@@BugsandBiology you did well sir
"That will never get old, just like kids in american schools" I fucking love you man 🤣😭
Excellent video. Keep Coyote in line. Misinformation like his is dangerous not only for the spider but for humans. Hey uh, I'm a 79 pushing 80 American school kid. Don't you think that's old? Lol.
"...I don´t think that line will ever get old, just like kids in american schools..." Thats soooo SouthPark, I like it because its the truth.
i agree with him, they definitely overdo it with the dramatic music in pretty much every video. "stung by yellow jacket 😱😱😱😱😱😱" if you would just listen to the audio you think that someone is watching a horror movie or something.
Yeah. A bit of tension is fine, and can work really well when used sparingly, but when it's used in excess, especially in situations where it's not really warranted, it just ends up making the whole video seem really silly.
That jab about "getting shot in American schools" is funny yet really sad to me as an American.
It's sad & disheartening to see that so much of the rest of the world has lost their human spirit to live as free individuals 😔
I'd really like to know what could've made so many completely give up and acquiesce to life as glorified cattle with _zero_ rights!? 🤔
"Any _rights_ that you can't personally defend are *not* _rights_ at all... They are _privileges_ which can be instantly taken away on the whims of those who granted them"

Actually shootings have gone done and the murder rate in America is lower than when my dad grew up. That being said I would say Brazil has way more dangerous animal especially because there are a lot of parasitic fish and bugs in Brazil.
at least if you get treated for a venomous spider bite in australia you won't go bankrupt so pretty sure it's not as dangerous as the US for that reason as well
Im after adding the Australian whistling spider to my tarantula collection 🕷🕸🇬🇧
Are there any spiders that are actually agressive/tempermental over defensive? Like that would run up and bite over taking a defensive posture?
Nah, at most they’ll stand their ground and maybe lunge if you come too close.
True most spider bites are defensive or being pushed onto the skin by accident
I just think you are awesome and I do care for your channel a great deal! It’s quite entertaining and hilarious! I find you to be a wonderfully creative entertaining individual and I just couldn’t agree with you more about some things about Mr. Peterson but honestly, he is a bit full of shit!! Look forward to more of your educational experiences and making me laugh until I sometimes literally tear up!! Until next time, thanks so much for keeping me on the cheery, sarcastic side of life!! Your American pal, Steph
Genuinely this is perhaps the best comment I've had on this channel. Thank you so much for all your kind words! Legend!
I never noticed that there was this much misinformation on Coyote's video but I was aware on the statement when he said it was much more dangerous than a wandering spider. I thought to myself aren't wandering spiders more venomous and aren't they lightning fast, they even filmed a video about it and that thing scared me to death with its speed.
Wanderers actually have a lower rate of severe envenomation than funnelwebs (only around 2.3%) but yeah, they're much more mobile spiders.
@@BugsandBiology Oh, cool to know. Though I think a wandering spider would win if these two would have clashed.
Oh yeah for sure. Only possible exception would be Hadronyche formidabilis, due to size.
I used to like Coyote Peterson but even after I told him to never go mainstream, he did, with Animal Planet.
If you look to television for anything, you're default stupid. Omni-directional sludge pump churning and burping.
One reason I don't watch Animal Planet.
Australians should treat American schools the same American "Wildlife Experts" view Australian wildlife. A violent highschool is a MUCH more terrifying site of fights over dominance than any spider lair
Haha true. Now I'm imagining Steve Irwin filming a documentary in an American school.
I feel whitetails (Lampona) Think i have that right. Are more aggressive.
I’ve only seen one in my whole life, so I can’t really speak from experience. But I haven’t seen any spider that really counts as “aggressive” towards humans.
@@BugsandBiology True aggressive is not the right word more overly defensive. I find it funny you have only seen one, given they are an Australian spider. See them here in NZ on a daily basis. Maybe the lack of predators against them is why. I am sure you would have more clues..
people act like spiders and wildlife is bad in australia like no aha i want to go there just to keep them as pets ! im jealous of the e rubripes we get them for like 400$ here :D
Honestly I sometimes forget Australia only has two good sized pede species (S. morsitans and E. rubripes). Both come in so many different forms that it feels like a hundred species.
@@BugsandBiology oh absolutely the forms make up for that and then some !
African wildlife has lions, cheetahs, leopards, gators/crocs, and most dangerous of all: hippos. Steve Irwin has said that of aaaaaall the animals he's been around, he was most afraid of the hippopotamus.
Hippos will mess your day up. They are viscious.
Vicious? Nahhhh. Defensive if anything. They don’t think to themselves “let’s go an terrorise a village”
@@thephasmidpharm459
Jesus Christ you know what he meant you pedantic fuck.
Hes a savage hes probably immune from severe venom reactions. Try to beat a black mamba bite tho
very very few people can, there is some interesting evidence for microdosing venom to build an immune response, there are a few keepers in the US that can take bites from cobras and mambas. I don't know about something as big as a king though which DUMPS venom when it bites.
problem is you can also form an allergy in response....like Dingo Dinklemen a reptile expert in south africa... but he hasn't ever let it dampen his love for reptiles.
What’s the cool black & white species at 6:34?
Nyssus coloripes.
One of the most annoying spiders in the world to photograph.
Coyote knows how to make money, so clearly he is doing things right
If that’s your goal, then sure. If your goal is to actually educate your viewers and ensure they walk away from your videos with accurate, non-exaggerated information, then Peterson leaves something to be desired.
I’m going to say first, that 9 times out of ten I find your sarcasm hilarious. But this video strikes into some very serious and sensitive territory, by this I am referring to the subject of gun violence in America. And as an American I find our countries’ insane issues of on-going shootings to be appalling and terrifying. But using this subject to jab at Americans is incredibly insensitive to the human beings whose lives are being affected. Families and friends of victims of this violence don’t need to have their suffering minimized by this kind of “humor”. Anyway, just my thoughts on the subject. Love your videos and wit. ☮️
This was an older video and since then I have decided that I was crossing the line with that joke. I’ve worked with children for years at this point, and now news about school shootings hits me much harder, to the point where it’s not something I’d joke about again.
@@BugsandBiology This is the reply I expected from you. Thank you 🙏🏻. Incidentally, I was working as a medical social worker at the hospital that received the victim’s of Eric Houston’s school shooting at Lindhurst High School, back in 1992. The innocence and faith of those kids (and the community) had been ripped away and everyone involved was traumatized. The fact that this’s still happening in this country is a national tragedy. Take care…
Hi nice video would you keep a Brazilian wandering spider if you could in Australia I know it illegal to keep there but if you could cheers
I probably would, they look really cool, and I love the way they hunt.
@@BugsandBiology thanks
I am nearly unable to watch any show on Animal Planet and other channels like it. The use of sounds, music and acting just annoys me so very much. I miss the days of NOVA. I do enjoy some docudramas, but they have to be done well and unbiased.
Ain't alone. It's all crap. I cut off television in 2010. It's all Project Mockingbird.
Yo can you get a aussie wolf spider?
Hoggicosa bicolor has been on the radar for a while now. Hopefully I'll get one eventually.
See the problem with that is some of the dangerous animals live very close to civilization, human contact is almost daily there. There are alot of things that can kill you in Australia self defense or not.
Except that isn't really the case. Many of our most venomous animals have very out of the way habits. Such as nearly every funnelweb species except Atrax robustus, most of our snake species, plus nearly all of our dangerous aquatic animals. And the fact that they don't perceive humans as prey (with the exception of crocodiles, which have a very localized distribution in Australia) reduces the risk even further; if an animal possesses the ability to kill but lacks the incentive, the danger is greatly lowered. There's a reason Australia's native animals account for only a minority of recorded animal related deaths annually.
Now compare this to Africa and South America, where wild animals not only run into locals more often, but there are far more large carnivores that can perceive humans as prey (not to mention big herbivores prone to charging, like Rhinos and Hippos).
Aussy sissys:). Also the top 5 worst mass shootings weren’t in the US. We def have a mental health and gang problem
yes
WHY you feel the need to respond - is it "professional arrogance"?
Calling out misinformation for what it is isn’t arrogance. And why do you feel obliged to comment all the time? And never with any actual responses to my criticism.
Africa is by far the most dangerous
I would definitely be inclined to agree, though South America is certainly up there.
@@BugsandBiology
I would rather fight fifty capybaras than one hippo!
arguably though atroxatoxin is one of the most deadly venoms to humans in the world, at least amongst arachnids. I know it's up there with the venom from the brazillian wandering spider (.....which has quite an ...interesting side effect.) They're also one of the most terrifying creatures i've ever laid my eyes upon. I am scared to absolute death of spiders, and the SFW is at the top of that list. 😢 I am less scared of the Inland Taipan than I am a SFW Spider. Mostly cause they appear to be fairly chill snakes....for elapids. I am much more a snake peroson, i'd love to handle a king cobra knowing however that a king is far far far more likely to end my existence due to the relative toxicity and amount.
Are you a biologist? I know it says biology in your channel name, but I do not know if that's a degree you have, or if it's a hobbist thing.
I've seen some fairly cool info come from a famous toxicologist in your country, like the irukanji jellyfish which sounds about as fun as someone doing the irish tap dance on your testicles.
how does venom like atraxotoxin compare drop per drop to say the taipan venom (or a king brown! which is a snake i know next to nothing about.)
Since the introduction of anti venom no one has died from a funnel web spider since the eighties
Here in the states we have many problems. Gun problem? Eh... that is debatable. More like a violence problem and we are far from the worst. I love your videos, but it would be a nice break to keep the political crap to a minimum. Was the comment a big deal? Nope! I was just surprised by your comment when you know Coyote Peterson (who I am not a large fan of) was talking about how dangerous the wildlife is in a country/continent and not the human on human violence. Moving on...
Honestly, it was intended less as a political statement and more as a counter of one over-exaggerated stereotype (dangerous wildlife) with another. It was basically a "two can play that game" gesture, not something that was meant to be taken seriously.
@@BugsandBiology Yeah, sorry brother. I gotcha. I admit, many of us in the states are a bit "defensive" these days, I think for many of us are just due to media "burn out". Love your videos and what you said was appropriate under the circumstances.
I do have a question for you though. It might be because of the YT algorithm stuff, but I seem to have noticed fewer of the animal videos that you respond to (animal dramas I like to call them) and more of the better content like yours. Have you noticed the same, or is YT just showing me what I like to see? lol
To be honest I haven't paid attention to it. But I'd say it's most likely an individual thing. I actively search for clickbait videos to respond to, so I get them recommended to me fairly regularly. But it's probably different for you.
@@BugsandBiology I figured. Shame. Even some of the channels I enjoy use click bait titles and pictures. It drives me nuts. I get it and I still believe they create great content.
Coyotes sting videos are actually a fraud, look at any other channel that does similar and contrast the reactions :(
Regardless I do like some of his content, particularly those with higher species diversity
Yeah agreed about his sting videos. Jack's World of Wildlife shows much more genuine reactions.
I think Coyote definitely has a passion for wildlife, but his overhyped presentation style can definitely cause people to have the wrong impression about some animals he shows.
@@BugsandBiology I like jacks world of wildlife as well. Quality channel although starting to get a little money hungry.
@@yoshistar8889 I have noticed he has begun to go real heavy on the ads.
scolopendra heros. That is all 😂
I so wish we could get S. heros here in Australia. If only to mess with the Coyote pack.
Interesting material, but the gratuitous comments about USA were unnecessary. Unsubscribing.
Maybe it was a bit rude, but it's ridiculously ironic how American presenters always seem to talk about Australia as if it's some ultra dangerous dystopia.
@@BugsandBiology 'Always'? You're condemning with a broad brush once again. I'm American and I have nothing against Australia. My best friend from HS became a minister and now lives near Darwin. My roommate and close friend in college was from Sydney. Anytime you condemn all of anyone because of the attitudes of a few you're being unfair in the extreme. I wonder how many US viewers who love your content (like me) felt unwelcome after those words? I urge you to edit them out, you have a lot of good educational material to present, don't debase it with biased comments. Incidentally, I'm not a big fan of Coyote Peterson because he tends to promote drama over good, educational content. Peace.
You know what, I do agree the comment was uncalled for.
Ever since I started a part-time job at a primary school, news about school shootings hits me so much harder, and it's certainly not something I'd joke about ever again.
But, as far as I know, I can't edit a video that's already been posted. So I guess I'll just leave it up as an example of an attempt at humour that crossed the line too far.
@@BugsandBiology I'll re-Subscribe on the assumption you erred innocently with that comment and not out of intent. Please remember, 99% of the people around the world are the same-we want to get along and respect each other. Don't let a few bad-apple Yanks make you think we're all like that. I try not to judge any other people by some of the comments I read in YT, because those who comment the most are probably not the best representatives of any society. Incidentally, I just retired recently but I was a researcher who traveled the world nearly half the time. I've been everywhere, but never made it to two spots-Australia and India. COVID interrupted my plans to visit those two nations. Hopefully I can make it as the pandemic eases, but on vacation this time instead of bid-ness. You have a fascinating nation, the diversity and uniqueness in your animal life is amazing. My career was spent researching technical topics, but my passion for natural sciences can now be attended to better. Your material is very good, keep up the good work. Peace.
Thanks, really appreciate it.
I'll admit I did make another poor-taste joke about the same topic in another video (can't remember which one), and you've honestly made me feel quite bad about it. So thanks again for changing my perspective and letting me know when my dry humor goes too far.
I'm from England. If you Google the top 10 deadliest, They all live in Australia. However I do agree that in terms of getting killed by humans, then the USA and south africa are top
Top 10 lists are basically all clickbait and inaccurate.
Also, top 10 what? Spiders? Snakes? Animals in general?
Hippos alone kill more people every year than have been killed by all Australian animals combined in over a decade. And most deaths from Australian animals aren’t even from native wildlife, they’re caused by horses, cows and dogs.
