FINALLY! Someone that knows the difference between Venom and Poison. EVERY OTHER show I've seen related to the most venomous animals the narrator almost always uses poison and venom interchangeably and it drives me nuts.

I was in a First Aid course, and the Instructor told us that a Farmer was once bitten by an Inland Taipan on his property. He wouldn't be able to reach help in time (Australian farms can be several hundred kilometers across) so he said goodbye to his folks over the UHF radio and put a tourniquet on as a assumedly vain attempt to slow the venom. He put the tourniquet on so well and so tightly that the venom seeped slowly enough into his system to produce an immune response, and as such he is the only man in the world who is now Immune to the bite of the most venomous snake in the world.
@@anyascelticcreations yeah, supposedly. Although with the benefit of hindsight (this comment is 5 yrs old) the story should also be taken with a pinch of salt; the Instructor also told us that Funnel Web Spiders can run and chase people, with an "audio recording" of his mate being chased by one (it was just a recording of some dude screaming for a good minute) as evidence.
This is a brilliant video on a brilliant channel! I recently watched some alleged "Wildlife" video where the guy had no comprehension of what venom is or what makes a venomous animal dangerous.. Then I came here and instantly subscribed! Living in Australia and having a big interest in snakes, having researched snakes and venom for years, I have at least a good understanding of such things and most channels out there just spread fear-mongering disinformation for likes and subs.. This is spot on, well done!
I don't know why everyone's so terrified of Australias wildlife, it's Brazil that scares the shit out of me :/ Roaming spider that likes to play peekaboo of death in fruit bowls???? Fuck that shit sideways, son.
Jacob White Most of the Amazon Forest is in Brazil (67%), however, it only covers the least populated northern area. Brazil has a lot of things: savanna (or Cerrado, as we call it here), tropical rainforests, Amazon Forest, Cerrado, semi-deserts (or Caatinga), prairies (or Pampas), swamps (or Pantanal), and very little Taiga. Savannas and prairies are the most populated. My point is still valid.
Nic Cage the Dick Mage I grew up in a literal forest close to a rural township, so I know what you mean. Found a redback in my hat just last week, and centipedes are common. But, well... I lived? If it was really so dangerous we wouldn't have the population we do. Most things will leave you alone, even if you get up in their business. That redback I mentioned earlier? As easy to deal with as a simple flick. Honestly though, *fuck* huntsmans. Redbacks, snakes, feral cats I can deal with. Put a huntsman in front of me though and I'm paralyzed. Just goes to show how irrational most fears are :/
As someone living in Australia, I can tell you that as long as you respect the animals and their spaces, you'll be OK. All animals would rather avoid conflict whenever possible.
REAL Aussies avoid a conflict! Ok, they might punch/bite you if you deserve it, but they don't actually try to kill you. Animal or human, "no worries mate" is what you can expect
uncleanunicorn ^that, to me sounds like a bad thing. Also my girlfriend agrees, but partly because it takes the fun out it. yeah, she is a bit weird haha
Hey Hank, would you mind looking into doing an episode on jellyfish? I mean, they're probably some of the weirdest creatures on Earth. It'd be interesting to see how they… well, work I guess.
I worked in a hospital's labs & we used snake venom to run certain tests on blood - it's useful for its clotting ability (coagulation) which is needed for the blood of people with bloodclotting diseases.
I had the pleasure of being stung by an emperor scorpion once. I was holding it and my buddy kept poking it to prove how docile they are lol I told him to stop it when it raised its tail, but he poked it again anyway and it stung me in the hand. Surprisingly, it didn't hurt nearly as bad as I expected. The sting site swelled up and turned red, but it only lasted about 20ish minutes. Same guy was trying to get me to hold his goliath bird eating tarantula, glad I refused lol that sumbitch saberfang spider was like 25cm across
I'm personally very fond of the sea krait aka the blue krait which uses a neurotoxin that causes paralysis, and muscle death. On another odd note the humble platypus is venomous, which is a beaver-duck looking mammal that lays eggs. I like to call it gods little frankenstein monster.
ah yes the platypus.....i like to imagine god was just sittin up in heaven one day n some angel was like.....hey whats the craziest must akward and unnatural animal you can make?......and thus the platypus was born...that or god had a bunch of parts left over after creating all the other things n didnt wanna toss em out lol
how could you not mention the Sydney Funnel Web Spider it is as deadly as the wondering spider but 10x more aggressive and it has fangs that can puncture a leather work boot
+justinjex1 I heard something along those lines, It also doesn't help that their prey is normally in swampy area and wounds would probably get infected anyway.
Komodo dragon first infect the animal with bacteria bcuz their saliva have bacteria....in a water source then they wait for the prey to be infected and as their body decline they will bite it and the poison will do the job....theres a national geography about komodo dragon just search for it def interesting
I found a dead spider in a hand of bananas once... ever since then, I put the bananas in a plastic bag and tie it. If there's a spider in it, it'll show itself by time i get around to eating one lol
+Jerónimo Barraco Mármol the deadliest animal of all; humans. You thought poison dart frogs getting toxins from what they eat was scary? We don't even need to eat the chemicals to make poison powerful enough to kill whales. Hell, we even drive entire species to extinction by complete accident.
there is one snake in Western australia called the Gwada, its like 1 foot long, if your walking and it feels you it can wrap its self around your leg or arm if you try to move it, it will bite and they are up on the list of most toxic
Reece Martin to be accurate the Gwarda is 9th in the most venomous, and for those interested in JUST our snake record. of the 25 most venomous in the world, 20 are native to Australia, with 1st-11th ALL being Australian! FREAKING CRAZY RIGHT? PLUS everything else that is able to kill us. I mean, who actually thought this was a good place for a civilization.....ok well i guess it makes an effective prison land, i mean yay you escaped prison....now what u gonna do? wanna get eating by a croc or a shark, how bought stepping on a nasty snake, or having a deadly spider in your boot as you go to put it on. how bout these deadly berries that look yummy or hell just piss of an Aboriginal with many types of spears and hunting boomerangs. Yeah ill just stay in prison thanks.
+Matthew Ray The lists of most venomous snakes are bogus, for one LD50 is inaccurate and very flawed, two you have to take into account bite yields, maximum yields, speed at which the venom acts and what/how it affects you. So, no.
Imagine the heart stopping terror of seeing a wandering spider coming out of your fruit bowl and biting you. Gives me the chills just thinking about it
ive heard that over ten years, half of a mattress' weight comes from dust mites... so try a bubble before you'd camp out in a bed :) when i have to deal with gross things, i like to tell myself that I'm "gaining immunity" instead of being contaminated with pathogens. it might not always be true, but isolating yourself only makes your immune system weaker, if you don't use it, you will lose it, or at the very least, have an underadapted immune system.
Crystal Bishop That's ... that's profound. Although it reminds me of the things that my mother used to make me take that tasted horribly foul "Because it's good for you." Still. I have this agreement with venomous animals: they don't come near me, and I won't freak out on their selves, using a large bat or perhaps a sledge hammer.
While not deadly, I would have thought the platypus would be worth mentioning. It has spurs on its back feet that can inject venom that causes you to go into shock almost immediately. Afterwards you have increased sensitivity to pain for weeks or even a couple months. So they can do that.
I love how most of these creatures either come from or can be found in Australia :) We're an awesome country! Also happydance for referencing Queensland! :D
what about the Japanese giant hornet? one sting feels like a gunshot, and the stinger is two thirds the size of a 9mm bullet at 6.25mm. if the venom is injected in high enough doses, it can melt flesh.
You know... I'm actually rather annoyed that he didn't mention the blue ringed octopus. He mentioned octopi in the beginning of the video, when I was already suspecting that particular octopus would be here... So I thought it was all but guaranteed to be on the list. I feel kinda cheated. =/
The correct plural is octopodes... and on most keyboards, the "D" is next to the "S" and the "O" is neear the "U"... therefore, octopussies is a fair spelling that your spell-checker should recognize :) Also acceptable is octopisses
GabrielCCCP I believe Tom Pinnella is referring to the fingernail sized jellyfish which can kill people (or at the very least pain that can last days or even weeks which morphine has no help). And unlike other jellyfish, it has stingers along it's top. And because of it's size, it can go through other nets that keep other jellyfish out....such as the famed box jellyfish
+Tom Pinnella Sadly not enough people from Australia can say that, we need more education on those tiny buggers! At least you can see a Box Jelly coming, if you get caught in a group of Irukandji you're in some trouble and you wont even know it.. Until you get stung, then you'll bloody know :O But most people would blame it on another jelly.
Nae Harris Most people (that I've seen) don't know much about octopuses beyond "they have eight arms". Which is sad, because octopi are very interesting creatures. I wish it was easier to find more information about their escapes in particular.
Pickletine el Taimados I live in Australia and quite often forget we have a lot of poisonous/venomous animals. It's common knowledge not to play with rock pools without a stick because the blue ring octopus is so dangerous. I love animals and know quite a bit about different ones. Fun fact: it's octopuses not octopi ( something to do with entomology and it being a Latin based word not Greek or something, it's quite interesting)
Nae Harris Ah. That makes sense- living so close to something potentially dangerous can make you forget because potential danger doesn't equate to immediate danger. Thing is though, he lives in America. The three venomous snakes (animals, really) in North America are the copperhead, the rattler, and the water moccasin. Hearing about the blue-ringed octopus in America is surprising. Yes, I knew that! It's interesting. The change from -us to -i to denote plural is Greek applied to a Latin-root word. In English grammar, the plural for words ending in -s is to add an -es. Octopi, however, is common because the rules to English grammar are more like general guidelines than rules. I wrote octopi because that's how I'd say it in face-to-face conversation. Lovely, lovely linguistics.
Late to the party...2019. A few months ago I had a surgery and the Docs used a new nerve block that was derived from jellyfish venom. Post-op should have been an excruciating experience, but with the nerve block I felt nothing for three days. Really didn't get full feeling back for about a month, which was fine with me.
Priapism is quite bad... one of theways doctors stop it if it doesn't go away on its own is to jab needles into the shaft, and pull out the cooled, jelly like blood from it. If that doesn't work.. they take a scalpel and cut the head from the hole and let it bleed out. All with no sedation.
"... a dipped dart can remain deadly for two.. years" my brain was waiting for you to finish off the alliteration with the word "days". Beautiful sentence
Come to Australia, we have the box jellyfish, inland taipan, sydney funnel web spider (which is usually considered more venomous than the wandering spider), we have our own species of venomous cone snails, we also have blue ringed octopus, and if the animals werent worse enough, we have the gympie gympie plant :)
I lived in Brazil for a few months back in 2009, and those Brazilian wandering spiders were everywhere. We would find the things under our beds, in the bathtub, wandering around the dining room... They were all over the place. Seeing how much my sister and I would hike around the jungle-covered hills behind the house and how ignorant we and our parents were to the deadliness of basically everything down there, I'm surprised we were never bitten by anything. Heh, I remember the nextdoor-neighbor's dog was killed by a coral snake in their own back yard. Yep, those were good times.
"He was fine........... after a week in the hospital" - brilliant!

"WHY? Why do you have that much venom, what are you gonna do with an elephant??" i lost it

I love this guy : "He was fine...After a week in the hospital."
on next episode, how Australians aren't extinct yet.
(i love that country but i'm thinking twice to go there)
with those fucking large ass bugs hell no have you seen a titan beatle
Braulio Medina i think i haven't, and i think i don't want to know lol
And a 1 foot spider yup you better think twice
+Jerónimo Barraco Mármol the deadliest animal of all; humans. You thought poison dart frogs getting toxins from what they eat was scary? We don't even need to eat the chemicals to make poison powerful enough to kill whales. Hell, we even drive entire species to extinction by complete accident.
Geez, and I thought Arkansas and Texas in the US were bad. (Beautiful places, though)
oh Australia, how you constantly want to kill us =)
Lol
there is one snake in Western australia called the Gwada, its like 1 foot long, if your walking and it feels you it can wrap its self around your leg or arm if you try to move it, it will bite and they are up on the list of most toxic
Reece Martin
to be accurate the Gwarda is 9th in the most venomous, and for those interested in JUST our snake record. of the 25 most venomous in the world, 20 are native to Australia, with 1st-11th ALL being Australian! FREAKING CRAZY RIGHT? PLUS everything else that is able to kill us. I mean, who actually thought this was a good place for a civilization.....ok well i guess it makes an effective prison land, i mean yay you escaped prison....now what u gonna do? wanna get eating by a croc or a shark, how bought stepping on a nasty snake, or having a deadly spider in your boot as you go to put it on. how bout these deadly berries that look yummy or hell just piss of an Aboriginal with many types of spears and hunting boomerangs. Yeah ill just stay in prison thanks.
+Matthew Ray The lists of most venomous snakes are bogus, for one LD50 is inaccurate and very flawed, two you have to take into account bite yields, maximum yields, speed at which the venom acts and what/how it affects you. So, no.
Imagine the heart stopping terror of seeing a wandering spider coming out of your fruit bowl and biting you. Gives me the chills just thinking about it
OK, I think I'm going to spend the next couple of years hiding under my bed and jumping at every dust mote.
Dust mites, bed bugs and couple of other spiders and insects might love being in the dark, cozy and isolated parts of your bed. Have fun~
ive heard that over ten years, half of a mattress' weight comes from dust mites... so try a bubble before you'd camp out in a bed :) when i have to deal with gross things, i like to tell myself that I'm "gaining immunity" instead of being contaminated with pathogens. it might not always be true, but isolating yourself only makes your immune system weaker, if you don't use it, you will lose it, or at the very least, have an underadapted immune system.
Crystal Bishop That's ... that's profound. Although it reminds me of the things that my mother used to make me take that tasted horribly foul "Because it's good for you."
Still. I have this agreement with venomous animals: they don't come near me, and I won't freak out on their selves, using a large bat or perhaps a sledge hammer.
of course australia is the first country mentioned on the list
While not deadly, I would have thought the platypus would be worth mentioning. It has spurs on its back feet that can inject venom that causes you to go into shock almost immediately. Afterwards you have increased sensitivity to pain for weeks or even a couple months. So they can do that.
What about the rock fish isn't that insanely venomous?
They are quite poisonous and painful as fuck but not as deadly potential compared to other things
Oh ok. I thought they were very deadly.
And, they are called stone-fish :-) my mate stepped on one and his foot was swollen real good and he said it was the most painful thing yet
its considered the most painful thing on the planet if im not mistaken but hardly ever deadly
zaxex21 its pretty deadly
Avoid Australia, avoid Brazil, avoid Africa, avoid fruit imported from Brazil, avoid the ocean. Also forests and deserts.
Vanessa Cosner solution: move to either Chicago or New York and take my chances with the gangs
avoid life? No thanks!
My brain is happy now that I've been watching your videos... Thank you
Time to stop going ANYWHERE near bananas
Put motion sensors in the banana bowl NOW THROW IT AWAY NOW PUSH THE CAN OFF A CLIFF
Pain reliever stronger than morphine? Want.
Try heroine
I love how most of these creatures either come from or can be found in Australia :) We're an awesome country! Also happydance for referencing Queensland! :D
'Painful Erection'
I loled XD
what about the Japanese giant hornet? one sting feels like a gunshot, and the stinger is two thirds the size of a 9mm bullet at 6.25mm. if the venom is injected in high enough doses, it can melt flesh.
Well,
Crap that must hurt.
It gets worse, the sting also alerts other giant hornets in the area to come sting you too.
crap
Imagine a swarm of them in purple war paint
6.25 mm for a stinger?? Well, guess who's never going to Japan.
How you pronounce scientific terminologies with such ease is astounding. Its orgasmic. Really.
Well I live in Australia so I'm kinda doomed. thanks spiders, snakes and jellyfish!
Yep same here.....
So Fry stopped being a delivery boy?
Thank you so much for bringing up and clarifying venom vs poison!,,,,
Question: what is the most venomous animal in the world?
Answer: we don't fully know.
Well, then.
You know... I'm actually rather annoyed that he didn't mention the blue ringed octopus. He mentioned octopi in the beginning of the video, when I was already suspecting that particular octopus would be here... So I thought it was all but guaranteed to be on the list.
I feel kinda cheated. =/
8:21 the most watched bit, I wonder why.
So are you teling me that scientists are dieing to find alternatives for viagra? :D
+Jan Klinkenberg I'm not sure, but they're definitely dying
hehe, yap ^^
Dying *
Plural of octopus: Octopussies
for anyone who think's I was serious on that, please, go back to school.
The correct plural is octopodes... and on most keyboards, the "D" is next to the "S" and the "O" is neear the "U"... therefore, octopussies is a fair spelling that your spell-checker should recognize :)
Also acceptable is octopisses
Quality content, as always! NEVER STOP
Venomous bears would be cool.
:- ) and kinda overkill. like a poisoned .50 cal bullet. but definitely cool
Fuck, weeeell I'm moving to Antarctica
A video about venomous animals? So a list about Australia...awesome. I live in Australia.
Can we all say "Irukandji"
?
GabrielCCCP I believe Tom Pinnella is referring to the fingernail sized jellyfish which can kill people (or at the very least pain that can last days or even weeks which morphine has no help). And unlike other jellyfish, it has stingers along it's top. And because of it's size, it can go through other nets that keep other jellyfish out....such as the famed box jellyfish
^Thanks Doug. I expected anyone with no knowledge of this species to do some research e.g. google it.
No problemo; I'm a zoology aficionado to begin with and like learning about the different and deadliest animals out there.
+Tom Pinnella Sadly not enough people from Australia can say that, we need more education on those tiny buggers! At least you can see a Box Jelly coming, if you get caught in a group of Irukandji you're in some trouble and you wont even know it.. Until you get stung, then you'll bloody know :O But most people would blame it on another jelly.
Wondering spider aka Banana spider and that's for two reasons hahaha
"Why do you have so much venom? What are you going to do with an elephant?" That made my day XD
Yeah Australia has the most venomous animals......wait that's not good D:
I don't understand why you had to say 'yes there are venomous octopuses'. Isn't it just common sense?
Nae Harris Most people (that I've seen) don't know much about octopuses beyond "they have eight arms". Which is sad, because octopi are very interesting creatures. I wish it was easier to find more information about their escapes in particular.
Pickletine el Taimados I live in Australia and quite often forget we have a lot of poisonous/venomous animals. It's common knowledge not to play with rock pools without a stick because the blue ring octopus is so dangerous. I love animals and know quite a bit about different ones.
Fun fact: it's octopuses not octopi ( something to do with entomology and it being a Latin based word not Greek or something, it's quite interesting)
Nae Harris Ah. That makes sense- living so close to something potentially dangerous can make you forget because potential danger doesn't equate to immediate danger. Thing is though, he lives in America. The three venomous snakes (animals, really) in North America are the copperhead, the rattler, and the water moccasin. Hearing about the blue-ringed octopus in America is surprising.
Yes, I knew that! It's interesting. The change from -us to -i to denote plural is Greek applied to a Latin-root word. In English grammar, the plural for words ending in -s is to add an -es. Octopi, however, is common because the rules to English grammar are more like general guidelines than rules. I wrote octopi because that's how I'd say it in face-to-face conversation. Lovely, lovely linguistics.
Pickletine el Taimados yeah I love learning about language, animals, and science. It's so fascinating
Nae Harris Indeed. :)
Late to the party...2019. A few months ago I had a surgery and the Docs used a new nerve block that was derived from jellyfish venom. Post-op should have been an excruciating experience, but with the nerve block I felt nothing for three days. Really didn't get full feeling back for about a month, which was fine with me.
Some animals are dicks. -.- I do have to say though, the last one with the erection one made me laugh my butt off. XD
Yea... I held it together till he paused a second, and said "Yep". I lost my shit at that one word!!!
cx Oh my gosh.
funny you should say dick and erection in the same quote :P
I guess so. cx
Priapism is quite bad... one of theways doctors stop it if it doesn't go away on its own is to jab needles into the shaft, and pull out the cooled, jelly like blood from it. If that doesn't work.. they take a scalpel and cut the head from the hole and let it bleed out. All with no sedation.
if you like these vids give thumbs up
"what're you gonna do with that elephant?" 😂😂😂
Spider is really reinventing the term DIE HARD!
"... a dipped dart can remain deadly for two.. years" my brain was waiting for you to finish off the alliteration with the word "days". Beautiful sentence
Finally, a youtuber who knows the difference between venomous and poisonous
"...like Popeye eating iceberg lettuce." What an outstanding simile. Bravo!
Nice shirt, Hank. Informative program. Thanks!
Come to Australia, we have the box jellyfish, inland taipan, sydney funnel web spider (which is usually considered more venomous than the wandering spider), we have our own species of venomous cone snails, we also have blue ringed octopus, and if the animals werent worse enough, we have the gympie gympie plant :)
Jim's mom: Don't touch that Jimmy, it might hurt you
Jim: Mom, we live in Australia, EVERYTHING can hurt me
I have always said, Australia is the worlds most dangerous prison!
I lived in Brazil for a few months back in 2009, and those Brazilian wandering spiders were everywhere. We would find the things under our beds, in the bathtub, wandering around the dining room... They were all over the place. Seeing how much my sister and I would hike around the jungle-covered hills behind the house and how ignorant we and our parents were to the deadliness of basically everything down there, I'm surprised we were never bitten by anything. Heh, I remember the nextdoor-neighbor's dog was killed by a coral snake in their own back yard. Yep, those were good times.
This guy is a freaking genius.
