You are right but the thing with the most venomous fish is at the spikes on the fish are only venomous which are on top of the fish so if you just grab it from below it can’t do much
Correction: nothing here wants to kill you, they just can. They aren’t malicious and you aren’t prey. Edit: I’d also like to say that this type of characterization, that these animals want to kill you, can actually hurt conservation efforts. This can be seen as an effect from the jaws movie. People started hunting sharks to keep people safe even though they didn’t even need to.
Richard is basically a huge uncredited part of our childhoods, especially for nerds like me. Thank you for bringing us these sights. Its really nice to finally see the face behind the camera. Thank you. Truly.
@@huddy0880 Oh yeah, the venomous term are generally branded for being injected directly into the body of a victim, while the word 'poisonous' are used for the application of the poisonous substance in a wound or by means of consuming the said substance. Furthermore, there are some animals that possess both abilities. And btw your spelling of venomous makes me cringe.
Alot of these fish live in Japan as well. I spent 3 years in Okinawa and the military briefed all new comers about the dangers in the water. The beaches by hotels all had designated swimming areas with nets to keep out the dangerous sea life. You see that in the Caribbean as well, I figured it was to keep people safe from boats and jet skis going past.
@@baileyspeltbeefy1768 .-. Well if someone called me and told me that my friend was killed bc of that I would laugh bc I would think that it was a joke
This owner has some guts he’s putting his hand into the most venomous being in the world and what did i not expect it’s Australia HES AN AUSSIE LEGEND MATE
Imagine when they jellyfish goes back into the ocean and tells everyone what he went through. “Harold, I told you a million times, I don’t wanna talk about it. He... Kept touching my head and I felt violated. And he put one of those big swimming rocks in a water bowl next to me. They were trying to kill me, Harold!”
Bro this is the most fun learning session I’ve ever had I would quit school to come work with this guy it just seems awesome to learn from him I hope he has a nice life down there in Australia
you would probarbly come home a better man working with him for the rest of school rather than finishing school imagine coming out with them a year at sea shooting sharks !
This makes A LOT MORE SENSE.. when I wonder how they get some of the shots “in the wild” that they get on discovery channel etc.. it’s STAGED! (Well some of it)
Peterson actually does get stung with venom, and you can tell that because of the involuntary reactions that occur, such as inflammation, chest pain, drooling, and muscle convulsion.
Also important to know that the application of vinegar upon the stung area does NOTHING for the pain of a Box jelly sting. The stinging cells known as nematacysts's even after detaches from the animal itself, can deliver secondary stings as the detached tentacles can continue to fire off. Hence the use of the vinegar, all it does is neutralise the nematacysts rendering them unable to deliver any more stings in order to remove tentacle fragments safely from the stung limb/area.
@@samoak123 It really doesn't do anything, certainly not for the pain. But something in everyday household vinegar neutralizes the stunning cells, to prevent them from both firing off secondary stings & to render them virtually harmless so any tentacles still clinging to flesh can be removed, that's it. Vinegar does nothing for the pain. Ben Cropp a famous Australian marine biologist/photographer has a fascination with Chironex flekeri & tested piss among other known remedies & it did nothing for the pain either. I have heard that piss is supposed to be good for less harmful marine stingers, like blue bottles etc.
Juvenile blue bottles and normal jellyfish, vinegar and urine helps stop the new pulses of pain and can, sometimes, wash it out. The original pain keeps hurting like mad but anything is good when you’re in pain.
It's crazy that I subscribed when you were doing videos about ur tanks in the college dorm, and now you're doing full blown reporter documentaries. Very entertaining, very high quality! Cheers!
Being an Aussie and watching this was so lit. It just confirms how crazy aussie animals are, like the man literally picks up a stonefish and just has a saltwater crocodile chillin
Fascinating, thank you. About 40 years ago I saw a Blue Ringed Octopus in a rock pool at Cronulla, a coastal suburb just south of Sydney. I thought, "What a cool looking critter, brilliant colors, kinda cute & small." I'm glad something told me not to handle it, otherwise I wouldn't be writing this.
Handling it isn't a guarantee to be bitten but yeah, if you were, you wouldn't be here. One problem is that their bite is so painless that you might not notice, and just suddenly collapse a few minutes later, as the venom paralyzes you. There's no antivenom. Survival is only by treating the symptoms...
Several years ago, I stepped on a stonefish during holidays. It felt as if receiving a massive thunder bolt shock, I have been stabbed by jellyfish many times before and this is uncomparable. The jellyfish are like slow but intense burning sensation, while the stonefish hit me so hard that I couldn't even go out of water. Hopefully I was with a friend and when he heard me yell and he saw me almost drowning because of the pain, he helped me get out of the water. In just a few minutes, I was sweating hard, I had a hot fever and my foot swelled to twice its size. Once we reached the sand of the beach, he brought me to the closest lifeguard. I lost consciousness a bit later, and I woke up the next day in an hospital room. My friend explained me what happened when I was out, and he told me that the lifeguard saved my life. He wasn't sure what happened to me he just knew that I have been hit by smthg in the right foot, stonefish are extremely rare so he thought it was a jellyfish (pretty common here), but he still checked my foot and did all the necessary steps in case it wasn't a jellyfish. He cut a big chunk of flesh on the palm of my foot where I got it because if it really was a stonefish, he wasn't sure if I the needle was still inside or not. After that, he gave me painkillers, different antivenin for the most probable animals that could have poisoned me and brought me to the closest hospital. This was the worse thing I have ever experienced, and since then I always wear plastic shoes when swimming. I also developed a paranoid fear of deep water, even tho I always loved scuba diving, since this happened I never went to far and I always check where I put my feet on the sand when going back. Before the end of my holiday (I spent a whole week at the hospital), I invited the lifeguard that saved me to a pub and we drank until the next morning. After that, we became friend (I learned he was working here for summer but he came from a place next to where I lived) and even until now we are still in contact. He even invited me at his marriage, and I always told him that I had a debt for what he did and as the doctor said if he didn't act so quickly and he didn't took the right decisions, I would have been dead. In fact, giving my age at the time it happened it was already a miracle I could survive this. (sry for the bad English, it's not my native language)
Crazy, I was stung a few times by jellyfish and I’m very sensitive to pain, it was terrible and ended up with welts everywhere I was stung. Can’t imagine how bad that would be.

I’m pretty sure he was only talking about the box jellyfish specifically. Like he said most jellyfish don’t have eyes so they wouldn’t have a way to differentiate but these ones do and they apparently get stressed around people and I assume they actually don’t want to sting us because they can’t eat us and they’re too venomous for most species to eat them so their stinging cells would be pretty pointless even if they could kill us there’d be no benefit for them
@@VoidXDsfx belive me i got stung by the big one and the small one they have in the bottles. They are horrible and they hunt you. If you see them they stop moving and sink down to the bottom trying to hide. The stingers does not move as much as they flow after the head movement so if you are infront you can easy grab it. I do compressor diving at night for a living :p im very used to jellyfish. Also im a bit skeptical about the 90 sec it does sting like hell once u get hit and if it has any size to it it gives you nasty scars and the flesh looks like it have melted away in that area. But if you manage to get vinegar on it within a few min you wont even get a scar it takes a lil while for it to actually show any tissue damage. Many i know have several dec long scars. Death i know can happen but im sure it takes a bit longer. The "tentacles" stick to everything and the jellyfish let them go so once u move it new needles get shoot into your skin. Therefore once stung people usually rub their body with sand and put venigar.
@@Nickerian91 I think the difference is in the amount injected. So a rattlesnake probably injects a lot more venom and is thus more deadly, even though per ml the jellyfish is more toxic.
@@aina3387 precisely. When they say "more venomous" they mean that it requires a lower dose to be lethal. Rattlers inject visible amounts of venom. A box jellyfish injects microscopic amounts.
I love the small memes he places during the video, I especially loved the part where he says the jelly fish team and SpongeBob and Patrick appear jellyfishing lol
This by far is my favorite video from the channel. This guy is a true badass and you can tell he genuinely loves his work and these animals. We need to see more of him and another video of this place! A re-your I’d say haha 🙌🏼
Richard is a legend... he seems like the guy who can't wait to wake up and go to work and hang out with some of the most beautiful creatures on Earth. Love the passion. Also, I'd love to ask him more about filming for documentaries. That seems like a whole other video worth of content...
Stonefish can't really attack, their barbs are passive weapons to make them inedible (and very very hazardous to step on :P). They also prefer playing dead (or rather, playing _rocks_ :P) over more vigorous forms of defense or escape, so if you know what you're doing and keep away from the back you can definitely pick them up safely.

I thought steve irwin was brave for handling all those snakes and crocodiles but i see now that that's just how austrailians are
"Yeah whenever you see thoughts guys on a documentary stinging themselves it's fake"
Coyote peterson: 😥
Fo grab a wasp and hold it to your arm, see if it stings you for real or not. He's never done a jellyfish
Ya and jellyfish just sting whatever touches them the don't have a choice
I mean in his videos you can SEE the insects sting his arm so idk what that was about
@@saintmace9183 I think it was a joke I’m not sure though
I’m pretty sure he was only talking about the box jellyfish specifically. Like he said most jellyfish don’t have eyes so they wouldn’t have a way to differentiate but these ones do and they apparently get stressed around people and I assume they actually don’t want to sting us because they can’t eat us and they’re too venomous for most species to eat them so their stinging cells would be pretty pointless even if they could kill us there’d be no benefit for them
This is so cool
Ok👍
I know right, it's so cool getting bitten by one of these.

Touching a box jellyfish, damn, thats dangerous, he is a professional.
The head dont sting, when i see them i crush the head to kill them
@@Nickerian91 yes but the stingers can move so its very dangerous, especially if it can kill you in less that 90 seconds.
@@VoidXDsfx belive me i got stung by the big one and the small one they have in the bottles. They are horrible and they hunt you. If you see them they stop moving and sink down to the bottom trying to hide.
The stingers does not move as much as they flow after the head movement so if you are infront you can easy grab it.
I do compressor diving at night for a living :p im very used to jellyfish.
Also im a bit skeptical about the 90 sec it does sting like hell once u get hit and if it has any size to it it gives you nasty scars and the flesh looks like it have melted away in that area. But if you manage to get vinegar on it within a few min you wont even get a scar it takes a lil while for it to actually show any tissue damage.
Many i know have several dec long scars. Death i know can happen but im sure it takes a bit longer. The "tentacles" stick to everything and the jellyfish let them go so once u move it new needles get shoot into your skin. Therefore once stung people usually rub their body with sand and put venigar.
@@Nickerian91 I think the difference is in the amount injected. So a rattlesnake probably injects a lot more venom and is thus more deadly, even though per ml the jellyfish is more toxic.
@@aina3387 precisely. When they say "more venomous" they mean that it requires a lower dose to be lethal. Rattlers inject visible amounts of venom. A box jellyfish injects microscopic amounts.
I love the small memes he places during the video, I especially loved the part where he says the jelly fish team and SpongeBob and Patrick appear jellyfishing lol

@@lolokay3506 I know but seriously he touched it
Besides the box poison isn’t fatal to most people
@@cac36 yeah, itll mostly likely hurt like hell, but it probably wont kill you
After seeing the World's Most Venomous Garden, not surprised to see the World's Most Venomous Aquarium, and of course it's in Australia lol
dont forget the snakes and arachnids either. XD

This by far is my favorite video from the channel. This guy is a true badass and you can tell he genuinely loves his work and these animals. We need to see more of him and another video of this place! A re-your I’d say haha 🙌🏼

This place is amazing! My daughter is a marine biologist in Australia and studies coral and other creatures. I would love to see more videos on these.
The brave wilderness part was really funny. 5:00
“THMMMMMMM”
“TERGHHHHHHH”
“THEEEEEEEEEE”
Richard is a legend... he seems like the guy who can't wait to wake up and go to work and hang out with some of the most beautiful creatures on Earth. Love the passion.
Also, I'd love to ask him more about filming for documentaries. That seems like a whole other video worth of content...
Yes you are so right I would watch it all day every day
" On the pain scale if an irukanji is 10 it would probably be about a 2. Or on an American scale probably 9 1/2 " SAVAGE

Venomous Is Directly Injected Posionous Is When It Is Applied By eating or touching a animals skin
- 7:50 So my whole life *I was fooled !?* Those documentaries weren't *even IN THE OCEANS FILMING!!!!!!!!* 😮😮😮🤯🤯🤯
“This is the most venomous fish in the world”
*proceeds to touch it*
He's touching it because he knows how to handle deadly fish....
Stonefish can't really attack, their barbs are passive weapons to make them inedible (and very very hazardous to step on :P). They also prefer playing dead (or rather, playing _rocks_ :P) over more vigorous forms of defense or escape, so if you know what you're doing and keep away from the back you can definitely pick them up safely.
7:10 the fear on the fish’s eyes lol
him - “everything in this place...wants to kill me.”
the intro music - 💕~woahhh woaaahhh~🎉🎊

My man touched a boxjelly fish wearing a star wars top
I love how calm he is when telling how cruel your death will be if you touch the animals
This is why us Australians are so chill, when every time you get in the water you could die you lose the ability to worry 😅
Friend of mine back in 2010 bought a blue ring octopus from a local shop, he didn’t even know what it was.

"So what's your dad's work?"
"You'll never believe me"
Even before he actually said it, I was like, "Ah yes. Australia. Home of the deadliest sea creatures."
honestly, after hearing Richard talk about the box jellyfish and roughly how the blighter works.. i'm super keen to learn more about them.
