Australian Possums are not rodents, they are marsupials, and no, there is no rabies in Australia.
The American Opossum is a marsupial also. The only marsupial in the Northern Hemisphere.
From NSW Health - "Rabies virus and Australian bat lyssavirus (ABLV) belong to a group of viruses called lyssaviruses. These viruses are usually transmitted via a bite from an infected ("rabid") animal. They all cause a similar illness known as rabies, which affects the central nervous system and is usually fatal."
We get a lot in our back yard as they eat the guavas. They like apple, grapes and other fruit and can eat out of your hand when they get used to you.
There is Lyssa virus, and hendra virus, which if I remember correctly are related to rabies.
@@soundsoflife9549 yeah I heard them running on my roof every night, it's probably coz I have a lot of trees but when I had a friend over who lives in an apartment was scared for her life coz we can hear them running on our roof 😂
One time I was driving on a local dual carriageway and a koala as crossing in front of me. So I stopped, got out of the car, attempting to usher it on its way, (It was on a mission to cross the road). Fortunately for me a semi-trailer that was on the other side of the road coming towards us, saw what I was trying to do and pulled up across both lanes to stop all of the traffic, yeah for Truckies!
I’m an Aussie girl- returned to my car one day with my older brother, we got in and 3 huntsman spiders ran across the dashboard (tip-don’t park under paperbark trees with your windows cracked)… we both jumped out of the car, I was looking for a stick to get them out, I assumed my brother was on the other side of the car looking for a stick until I realized he was not there, he was half way down the street and yelled back that he’d see me at home, he was taking the bus… I got 2 of the spiders out, the third one I named Fred
I used to be cool with huntsman spider's until the Miss's's fear of them rubbed of on me now I freak out when I find one in the house , I'm cool with slow spider's still but hunstman's skitter and scatter and jump on your face and run up your leg - in my head , all because of the Miss's 🕷🕷
PS Great story
No rabies here, that’s one reason why we have such strict importing rules
Our bats can carry the virus. I recall a few years back where a child was bitten by a bat in Redbank, Qld and the authorities reached out to try to find the family and test and possibly treat the child.
I totally agree - I can't believe these knobs here who have so little knowledge of Australia's wildlife.
Our possums are cute and no rabies in Australia, but the sound they make is demonic sounding. We have a few around our place and they fight on our roof.
American possums look like giant evil rats.
"What the hell is wrong with Australian girls?" he asks.
Nothing. We're perfect. What's wrong with you?
Hahahaha that’s funny 😆 I love it
Some are perfect, depends if the accent is bogan or not.
@@ryanreaction Dude, you're really dumb 😑 I've been watching your channel on and off and frankly, as a highschooler in Australia, some of your antics are worse than the worst bogan in Australia. Go watch some Jimmy rees 'meanwhile in Australia' to catch up with our level
Despite Johnny Depp,s best effort, Australia is rabies free.
An older Aussie here & no, we do NOT say "naur" for "know' or "now". We DO say "nuh" for "no".
100%! Hahaha I don’t say Naur either, it’s definitely a thing though but it’s young people doing it and specially South Australia and Victoria, I’ve never heard a single person from NSW say it, young or old, except if they were being intentionally silly hahaha🤷♂️
To be clear it’s “yeah nah”
@@aussiepie4865100%!!
@@danielkelly8870 The only times I've heard naur in S.A is when someone is asking wtf it is. It must be a Qld thing if it's from Bluey.
I've never heard it in person, and videos of people who genuinely say it don't really sound like that, but I have heard a very slight version of it on video which foreigners must hear an exaggerated version of
There is no rabies in Australia and we have very strong quarantine requirements.
Wrong bats carry a certain type of Rabies.
Lyssaviruses are a group of viruses that includes rabies and bat lyssavirus. Lyssavirus is carried by bats in Australia.
@@dangermouse3619”Rabies virus and Australian bat Alyssa virus (ABLV) belong to a group of viruses called lyssaviruses. These viruses are usually transmitted via a bite from an infected (“rabid”) animal.
I included the ACTUAL quote so it’s clear both seperate viruses are part of the same sub group of viruses, and are not in fact the same virus.
You can also say good mornin Australia
It is Illegal to drive barefoot in australia
@@bmacadody9447 Lol no it's not. It's not recommended to drive barefoot, but it's not illegal.
It’s a huntsman Ryan. If we freaked out every time we’d be dead as kids.
Yeah, I’ve seen my share of huntsman, walls ceilings etc. but when I had a plague of them, one on my washing machine as I was about to press ON. Shower base as I was about to get in. Running at in the loo lol, The one sitting on my hand, that made me jump. Had about 20 in a few days. Lived in suburb not country. Had to get exterminator in. He laughed and said, yes there are a few, they breed in trees, that one right outside your kitchen window. Normally I don’t kill them - but he said there were more to come after he checked tree. All gone to Huntsman heaven lol
White tail was the worst. Got bitten by one. Worst pain other than childbirth lol . I don’t say the F word, yes I’m an old born and bred Aussie - but I said it with pain. My son was so proud of me lol. Finger swelled up, then all fingers red and swollen. Docs, splint, bandage and it’s still slightly bent after nearly 29 years, pain all gone.
Yeah, they're amazing to have around the house - they eat the bugs, don't make webs, and mostly stay out of the way. I always get sad when I see a dead huntsman around my house, and I try to save the little ones when I see them so they can grow up to be my new house-friend.
Yeah, it it were a redbank, I'd be doing the smackdown with my thong, but never a huntsman. 👍
It could be a Wolf spider, and they cause necrosis (dying tissue) where they bite, painfully. The difference between a Huntsman and a Wolf spider (you have to be too close to figure it out) is that Wolf spiders have "pointy" feet, and Huntsman have 'furry' feet, and more often than not, the Wolf spider is aggressive.....
@@Kayenne54 true, but do the wolf spiders do that "warning stance" that this one did? where they raise the two front legs? - I know huntsmen do this.
Koalas spit, bark and bite if you try to pick them up. And they pee on you. They make a lot of noise at night during mating season.
Have you handled them
Their claws and teeth can easily kill by opening major blood vessels
True, but old mate has chlamydia and really needs treatment, looking at that yellow on its bum.
You pick them up from behind and holding their arms. Then they can't scratch or bite you. You can then carry them across the road and place them on the ground or a gum tree.
Preferably wrapped in a coat or blanket.
@@Redwarfa You're talking about their Drop Bear cousins 😲
No rabies in Australia. That's why Johnny Depp and Wench got in trouble bringing their dog here.
Wench. I like that 👍🤣🤣🤣🤗🇦🇺
But we'd really like to have Johnny come live here with us
She is the human equivalent of rabies.
Lol, he be better off with a blue healer anyway.
wench, love it good aussie word.
Steering wheel covers are a big thing here in Oz
The Australian possum is a marsupial and a completely different species to the American opossum.
American opossums are also marsupials though. Relatively distantly related obviously because it’s been however many millions of years since Australia, Antarctica and South America were connected, and for whatever reason we ended up with the biggest variety of marsupials and nearly all the possums apart from that ugly bastard the poor Americans got.
Yes and we have two types- the little ringtails which are social/family oriented and the brushtail which is bigger and more likely to be found on its own.
Yeah, it's a PUBlic House - the Bar is what's inside where the grog is served (same in a hotel or restaurant)
My daughter’s boyfriend tried to give our friendly local possum a pat on the head while they were sitting on our deck, he bled like a stuck pig. Never laughed so much in my life the look on his face.
5 daggers on each hand.... something people need to remember about possums.
@@glenod and even more in thier mouth
😂😂😂😂
In the 1970's we had vinyl seats, metal steering wheels, no window tinting and no a/c. You put a towel over the steering wheel if you remembered. Also opened all the doors for 5 minutes before driving off, and drove with all the windows down. The little triangular windows near the windscreen were very effective at pushing fresh air in.
Especially hot if you lived in Perth or Adelaide in summer 🥵
People thinking leather burns have never sat on a vinyl seat 😅
And that metal seatbelt buckle.
@@leglessinozbranding irons have nothing on an Aussie seatbelt buckle!
4 and 80 aircon, wind all 4 windows down and hit 80 miles an hour as fast as you can….
Aussie girl here and if that huntsman was in my car, it just got ownership whilst the car was still moving. I'm petrified of them lol
Me, too. I know they’re harmless & good, but I still screamed the house down when I found one in the shower. Hubby had to take it out.
Had a huntsman spider in my car on the way to work with a coworker, pulled into the emergency lane a jumped out screaming, both of us! A cop pulled up behind us and 😂 dealt with 😢the spider while laughing at us the 😂whole time. He could not believe that two nurses could deal with a lot of things but not huntsman spiders
I'm Australian, until recently watching these videos I didn't know Australians said no like naur. I still dont think we do.
It might be pronounced "naw". I don't have kids so I've never seen Bluey. Mostly it's pronounced "nah" as in yeah-nah like every single Aussie sportsman says in TV interviews.
Western and South Australia mate
@@thescourgeofathousan I'm a South Australian, born and bred, and I've never heard it pronounced that way.
@@michellewilkes6329 I stand corrected. Even though, as a New South Welshman my opinion is, of course, worth twice a South Australians actual experience.
@@thescourgeofathousan My husband is a NSW-man as well, and I'm pretty sure he'll say the same thing. SAussies speak in a more correct English accent than the states mostly settled by the English. In certain parts of the state you might hear people of older generations occasionally revert to German, but otherwise we consider ourselves to be more correct.
Hey Ryan mate , at 1.14 into your video you asked whether that was a Koala or a Drop Bear , well mate that was a Koala , they are much smaller and docile compared to Drop Bears which are more than 4 times bigger and quite vicious and carnivorous . They hide high up in the tree tops waiting to attack unsuspecting humans , in the immediate seconds before an initial attack a blood curding growl is heard and seconds later the last thing a person sees is the gnashing of teeth and volumes of blood before they pass out and die. * Such is the sickening sites of these attacks, that our Government in its bid to not deter tourists from coming to Oz is actively attributing these deaths to Alien mutilations given the large amount of UFO sightings in Oz skies. So if you go off the road into the bush always carry some Vegemite sangas with ya so that you can throw them at the Drop Bears in the hope that they may get distracted and that will give you vital seconds to escape a grizzly death , if that fails just stop running , squat and put your head between ya legs and kiss ya ass goodbye. The good news is that you wont suffer much pain as death comes quickly once your Jugular Vein is severed in the initial seconds of the Drop Bear attack. Safe travels.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
👏🏻👏🏻 Brilliant. 🤣
The thing that people don't realise about Drop bears is that they're master climbers and can fall 20 m to the ground with nothing more than a slight winding. On the not so rare occasions that they miss their target they'll climb onto their victims and begin the attack. That was deffo a koala as the video would have ended with one of the tourists missing their face.
The only thing that non-Australians need to know about drop bears is that they don’t exist. All those people with the sense of humour of a 5 year old are the only ones who think it’s clever to con tourists. Get a life!
😂😂😂😂
The guy saying “knowing what I know now” sounded more like he was trying to do a Northern Irish accent.
Cool Arvo! 🙋 That's a Northern Beaches boy leading an American to a pub, I hope he got home safely! That spider was just looking for some warmth! Leave Koalas alone! Kangas exploring at sunset perfect evening! I left my front door open one hot night and a possum tried to break in my locked screen door, the growling was bad enough! Another time one came though a manhole in my kitchen, I didn't put a light on as I thought it was a cat and shooed it out, as it went down the stairs I actually saw it and freaked out! Agh! 🇦🇺
My youngest son wandered into the room as I was watching this, saw the spider clip and said, "Aw, it's a huntsman. They're so fluffy and cute." and walked away. 🤣
thats just the tiniest baby huntsman too....people should know they might scare you but they are as harmless as a daddy long legs...
@@debbiejefford5187 And they are more than happy to eat creepy crawly things that aren't as harmless as a huntsman. Mind you, I have been bitten by one - my fault, I was clumsy. It is a little bit ouchie, like getting pricked with a pin, large spiders do have large fangs after all, but no ill effects.
Want to hear something really spooky? Tasmanian Devils of a night fighting.
Thats where the name DEVILS came from as they frightnd the shit out of the early poms at night
Where I used to live (rural Australia) I used to feed a female wild possum. She was so dang cute and she had a baby shed carry on her back. I could hand feed her, her fave were apples. She'd hold the apple with one paw and my little finger with the other. The first year she would leave the baby up higher in the tree but the next year the baby would come down with her then I had to feed them both a piece of apple at the same time and yes, occasionally I did get a bitten finger when it was mistaken for a piece of apple because it had juice all over it lol. And yes, it hurts to get bitten and I had to be careful cause those claws are razor sharp. Í was able to pat both the mum and baby but I would not let the baby climb onto me when it wanted to because they are still wild animals and can't be too humanized. The 3rd year the mum and now juvenile Joey came back, the only came in the winter when food was a bit more scarce, í suspected the mum was carrying another Joey. She let me check her pouch while she ate the apple and yup, there was a little hairless Joey all tucked up in there.
Talking about the noise they make, yup when they fight it's an horrific noise but when Pammy, ok so I named the mum, ould come she'd come onto the gazebo near my bedroom window and she would call me to let me know she was there then she'd meet me in the silky oak tree out front. What did the call sound like? Lol it was the weirdest and most unexpected noise that I never would have thought would come from a possum. She sounded like someone trying to start a fuel powered chainsaw!!! Over and over she'd make that noise till I'd yell out and tell her I was coming. She and her Joey were just the sweetest little fluff balls. Their fur was so soft and it was also weirdcause she would take off if anyone else in the house tried to come out and see her, they could only watch through the window. Now that I've moved back into the city to be closer to my drs and the hospital I miss them so much. I miss all of the wildlife that we had in that little village, even the occasional deer that would prance down the street lol.
Bahaha. Your reaction to the spider one!! 😂😂 I grew up on property and spiders were a normal part of life for us #nofear
I'm sure spider girl appreciated how helpful and protective her fella was.
Bout time.
it was only a huntsman
😂by yelling "I'm not touching it!" 😂
@@danniellesloane wuss lol
@debbiejefford5187 Almost like the majority of Americans but more mild then outright pussies
My kids as toddlers did not have American accents but did throw in random Spanish words because Dora the Explorer was their favourite TV show.
Naur=nah
yeah nah mate
I don't think it would be only American girl's would be passed out from spider fear. You were looking pretty woozy there yourself Ryan 😂
oooh. That's harsh. Accurate, though.
Starting an early morning walk one day in summer (too hot to walk later) about 100 yards from home, pitch black there was a strange and terrifying noise just in front of me on the road. I stopped dead, turned my torch on to see an enormous western grey kangaroo 20 feet from me. It was as happy to see the end it of me as I was to see it calmly ĺeave. Never heard kangaroo scratchy noises before. Totally scared myself.
No rabies here and possums are herbivores, the possum was nothing to be scared about. The spider was a huntsman, harmless
Wait until someone has a video of the sound they make when they get into the ceilings,they sound like a herd of elephants playing in the rooftop.
I have a possum or two in my ceiling. Comes out at 8pm and goes back about 3am.
You may have missed the bird sounds in the kangaroo video, they are lorikeets.
no rabies, not a rodent, marsupial. It's just looking for some fruit
No rabies in Australia but I guess it would freak you out. Probably the worst it would do is pee.
Yeah
I moved house recently and the first week in the new place my local possum locked eyes with me as it was headed out for the night and I was on the veranda. Darn thing swore at me for five minutes. I’ve never had a mouthful from a possum before and I’m still laughing, seriously it went on and on. I’ve been planting roses and watching my back 😂😂😂
I love the way Ryan backs away from the computer when he knows a spider video is coming up!
There are no confirmed cases of rabies in Australia, for some reason we dodged that bullet entirely
Quarantine doing it's intended job.
Quarantine laws, that’s how.
The thing with kangaroos in suburban area is that they are generally very used to being around people, that they are willing to get pretty close.
We have wild emus where I live and its pretty common to see 4-6 of them walking through the streets or the kids parks. Especially after breeding season, when the dad has his chicks with him.
The "knauring what I knaur naur" was pretty good but he strayed into Irish at the end. 😅
Definitely. That last “now” came out pretty Belfast.
12:17 there’s nothing quite like the sound of possums fighting on a tin roof….or doing….other things…on a tin roof…….
My sister has a huntsman in her car after moving pot plants to her new house. I think it likes going for drives.
I had a pet hunt an on my bedroom ceiling for quite a while
My huntsman had babies. I only noticed when I was on the freeway.
@@lisasteel6817 Ohhh babies
I live in South Western Sydney(Australia) and here we have Koalas crossing the main connecting road to the coast almost every day and night.Council has erected signs asking for drivers to slow down for koalas. Sadly quite a few of our amazing furry Friends get hit and killed. A New Housing Development just East of Campbelltown is going ahead and the Developers is required to widen the road to dual lanes in each direction with several Wildlife Underpasses near this estate. Hopefully this will reduce the numbers being hit by cars.
I opened my back door to possum next to a tree and it's little one in one of the trees. Possums are marsupials and totally different to opossum.
@@cgkennedy I hate to 'umm, acktually"' you but American Opossums are also marsupials, the only one in North America.
Huntsman spiders can give you a bite, and it hurts alright - but you don't suffer anything past that. If you handle them calmly they don't have a go. A lot of times they are quite friendly and personable. That young one is basically a teenage spider, so it's learning and can be a bit quick to run away. They are great for keeping the bugs and mossies down, most of us encourage and protect them.
Accents: I know some young people who happen to be on the Spectrum and have ADHD. They watch quite a lot of UA-cam and have developed accents. Two young boys sound American and the young lady sounds British. All of them have Australian born parents.
Nah, never heard someone say naur.. unless it's nah with an Aussie R at the end from our accent
Yeah nah, never heard naur.
A lot of these online memes about pronunciation really only work when viewed through the lens of a particular accent. It's why I also facepalm a little when I see people trying to phonetically explain how they pronounce things online by typing it out - it's going to be read differently depending on the accent of the reader.
I didn't get the whole naur thing either when I first heard it, but after listening closer and trying to put myself in the shoes of someone not from here, I get it now. It's a little bit like if you tell an American that every time they pronunce O it sounds like "Ah". Like from an Aussie perspective an American might pronounce Soccer as "Sahcrrr" or mirror as "meerrr" but if you said that to your average American they might have no idea what you mean at first, because from their frame of reference it's just normal/default.
The koala looks confused by the lack of tall trees to climb. People are often finding koalas who are lost in a treeless area. Probable exhausted from wandering for miles looking for a forest. The trees in the video are too short. They like tall ones.
G'day Ryan, A while ago , I and a few mates were hunting in the outback. After being lost for some time, we finally made it back to the Hi lux. In my haste, i jumped in the tub of ute and proceeded to sit on a steel toolbox. It was 45 degrees Celsius in the shade. Needless to say, it was very difficult to do any sitting action for a while. Ahh the good old days.
Awww look at that cute little spider I had one twice the size that would sleep just above my head every night for 5yrs.
Mine are called Fred and Frank 😁
Reflective windscreen shades, cloth seat covers and steering wheel covers are popular accessories for Australian cars. In summer I usually turn on the engine so the air conditioner can run and open up the sun roof to let the hot air rise out of the car before I make any attempt to sit in it.
Spiders. My Mum was always the one who dealt with spiders growing up. My Dad was terrified of them and always called her when he saw one. My sister is like Mum and doesn’t turn a hair. Not me, my husband got the job of spider wrangler in our house!
As a child I had what I believed to be an unreasonable fear of spiders, especially black house spiders. My parents understood but never told me why, when I'd back out of my bedroom at night for fear that it would run across my ceiling and jump on my head. Finally at the age of 20 my mum told me why I was so scared. It turns out I had an extremely traumatic encounter with a black house spider as a toddler (I won't go into the details if you want to sleep tonight). From that moment on I knew that my fear was actually rational and could be dealt with. I still don't like spiders but I'm not afraid of them the way I used to be. I'm actually better at dealing with them than hubby these days.
I used to have a possum at one house that would come into the loungeroom every day and wait for me to give it something to eat. It was very polite :D We also had all these possums at a rehab I was at, who were addicted to bananas.... they would literally gorge themselves and not be able to move lol
In Western Australia we don't have Wombats, or Koala's, only in zoo's and wildlife parks. Never had Platypus either until some twit released some in the Warren River in the far South West. But we have the "Happiest Marsupial of all...The Quokka"!
Yeah, nah, the sound of roos hopping is not scary at night. It's just like in the day time. No rabies in Oz and the animal was a possum, which is a marsupial, not a rodent, probably a brush-tail possum.
YES
My daughter wasn’t feeling well today but after watching this together it cheered her up thanks mate❤
7:50 "An American girl...." ROFL-- you mean YOU, Ryan, would be shitting your pants and running through the dark screaming! Lol!
Rabies is not a thing in Australia because we have very strict quarantine requirements for animals, Remember when Barnaby Joyce wanted to put down Pistol and Boo.
Johnny Depp: Pistol and Boo 'can bugger off back to the United States' ua-cam.com/video/gMQ_SyEXvu4/v-deo.html
07:26 It's a huntsman spider, they rarely bite and even when they do it's harmless at most you get an itchy bump. They don't create webs and are great for keeping the other grosser/nastier insects at bay like mosquitos and cockroaches.
Shoes are just an inconvenience, only work when it’s legal
Our Bogans are better than the American Hillbillies. At least they speak Australian and we can understand them. American Hillbillies live in MacMansions in Beverly Hills and have Huuge Ceement ponds in their backyards… maybe even Oil Wells.
Ellie May Clampett ❤ 😎👍 otherwise I agree.
🤣🤣 bloody hell mate! Best comment today!
3:47 yes. yes they do and its so funny. my niece used to say "hey guys" or something in an American accent, was funny as.
Funniest thing you ever said…. A koala or drop bear…. dreopbears are not real 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ummm. Only American tourists get attacked by our Dropbears. They hate the Yanks for some reason..😂😂
He knows!
@carokat1111 yep, he's in on it too ;) haah
Alternately,
SSHSHSHSHSHHH!
Yes they do indeed and call items by American names
11:06 it’s a possum 😂😂😂 the worst it will do is pee in your house! In summer, it’s not unheard of to leave your back door open to get cooler air through the house after a hot day…
Generally the red kangaroos tend to be the agressive ones. Most grey kangaroos are docile unless provoked
To answer your question about kids getting American accents here. Yes, it absolutely happens. It will usually come out over time, but a lot of introverts kind of pick up an American accent from all the US shows, movies and games
@7:24 no need for concern, that's a huntsman, he's here to eat all the actual deadly spiders
👍👍 Ryan 10/10 for facial expressions . 😊
That little girl can be our prime minister when she's older. What a champion.😂😂😂
that guy is just takin' the piss......
Lamb skin seat covers and steering wheel cover helps
Thanks to our harsh (but necessary) border security/bio security/customs laws when entering Australia, we are fortunate to not have things like rabies in our country. I know people like to hate on the government, but the more videos I watch comparing Australia to other countries, I've learned that I kinda like our 'nanny state' lol.
The Veterinary industry via AQIS is massive in keeping exotic diseases just that, exotic, important for agriculture and with the prevention of zoonotic diseases like rabies keeping us safe. Acting on the advice of experts on a topic is how it should always be done. Kindness costs nothing yet it is priceless 🙏❤
The other thing about barefoot in the car scenario... In summer most people live in flipflops/thongs and legally we're not meant to wear flipflops/thongs in cars because they can catch on the pedals while you're driving and lead to an accident, so you need to take them off when you get in the car. (also, you'd be crazy to be bear foot when it's that hot because you'd burn your feet on the bitumen/concrete)
Actually it's not illegal to drive in thongs, or ugg boots, or even bare feet. If you are in complete control of the car then you can legally wear whatever you want. It is much safer however to drive in proper shoes as your feet don't slide around on the pedals as much.
That’s a brushtail, they can get quite comfortable with people. It’s possible that the possum has been in the house before without the girl waking up. And it would likely be the verandah door she has left open. Not all verandah’s have stairs, ours is simply a verandah, and we often leave our possum overlords a piece of bread with strawberry jam on the table out there.
Regarding the possum; she is being extremely melodramatic and precious. What a sook!
Well Geoff Lindsay did a video on naur ("My favourite vowel: Oh NAUR explained!") and he does slow sounds down and it did sound like there's an r in there. But I can't hear it at regular speed.
The Roo's come in overnight to feed on the sweet green grass, then they bugger off back to the bush.
Wallabies run up and down the side stairs at my parents house, they used to scare the shit outta me thinking someone was running to my door to get me 😂
Mate! Drop bears, hoop snakes and bunyips. I don't believe no one has told you about bunyips and hoop snakes yet.
Thanks to the German "Die Sendung mit der Maus" (educational TV program for children) I know all about bunyips since 1985, when I was only 7 y.o..
As people have said, no rabies in Australia. Possums and Opossums (the scary American ones) are both marsupials, but are not really related.
Yes, kids with a good ear do say words with an American accent. One kid I know spoke entirely with an American accent, when I enquired how long he had been in Australia, his mum told me he was born in Australia and had never been to America
its a brushtail possum . aka brushie. they are very gentle marsupials and unfortunately are getting pushed out of their habitat. they can make a hell of a growling noise though
BOND-EYE, Ryan, you know that. 😂
for me at least, 'Knowing what I Know now', whilst having similar sounds have very different pitches. and the Naur pronunciation is pretty regional, with a rising pitch. most folk around here would use something more like Naww, descending. Knowing would be lower, Know would be neutral, now would be rising.
As a Kid my Dad rescued a baby possum from nearby land clearing and had it as a pet for a few years. he rekoned it was about as intelligent as a cat, they strung up thick hemp ropes thru the house cos it didnt like walking on the floor. It was free to come and go as it pleased, but more often than not it would come in at 2-3AM, get under his covers and curl up to sleep. sometimes he would take it to school in his bag, slept most of the day, but would come out at lunch for some apple or peanut butter sandwiches. there are pretty strict laws about keeping native animals as pets, which I think is a bit of a shame, it would be great for ecology if the domestic cat was replaced with possums. it loved cuddles and scritches, was clean with its mess, fairly independent, but formed different relationships with other members of the house. like a cat. there is nothing stopping you have a wild possum come in and join your household, but you cant breed and hand rear them for sale. which is a bit of a shame I think.
You crack me up , the spider is a huntsman, big and scary but harmless, the kangaroos are small greys, it’s the big reds that will rip you apart, and the cute lil koala will also rip you apart with its claws, and the possum isn’t a rodent in Australia
There is a certain way you can pick spiders up so they don't bite you. I practised with daddy long legs, jumping spiders and wolf spiders as a kid 😂
American opossums are marsupials as well as the Australian possum. In fact marsupials evolved in America and moved to Australia when the americas , Antarctica, and Australia were joined together as one large land mass millions of years ago.
Shoes are Optional here in Austraya… don’t you know anything?
I hit an echidna 25 years ago. I remember every time I drive still.
From Australia 🇦🇺 we have some states that have koala signs, you leave the koalas do their thing. You don't want to drive and encounter a kangaroo in the front of your car.😊
There is a woman in Newcastle NSW who has a red bellied black snake who has been living in her car for about 3 months. Snake catchers haven’t been able to remove it so she is about to start removing seats to see if she can get it out with the help of the snake handler at the Australian Reptile Park.
Roos, wallabies, possum's are beautiful.... just let them go on their way & all good...I have them all in my backyard on the Northern Beaches Sydney.
No prob Bob...❤
That's a Brushtail Possum - one of many native possums in Australia. Another commonly seen is the Ringtail Possum.
Here’s one Aus girl who won’t be wrangling snakes or spiders anytime soon 😂🐍🕷️
Red Rooster was started by the Kailis family in Perth WA.
Koala or drop bear ?! Depends on how drunk it is!
One of our old neighbours had a approx 6 year old daughter who watched so much tv that she spoke with an american accent on some words.
Our possums have big eyes because they're creatures of the night and their eyes allow the maximum amount of light in. They can see much better in the dark than we can. We don't see them in the daytime because that's when they're asleep. I work at nights and often see possums for when they see me they run for the nearest gum tree. I used to visit one place in the dead of night and a possum would scream at me so I left an apple at the base of the tree he/she was in and he/she would climb down and retrieve the apple. They're vegetarians only and will pick apart hamburgers to eat the salad and lick the tomato sauce for they won't eat the buns or the meat. After a major bush fire we leave salads out for the possums but only for a short while as we don't want then to rely on getting free handouts for they must find their own food.
The spider in the car is pretty much an ongoing thing, they live in your car.... that particular spider is probably a huntsman or could be a wolf spider.... both of which look intimidating but are reltively harmless..... at any given time I have half a dozen in my home on the walls and cielings.... they dont bother you they ignore you and feed on the flies and bugs that enter the house.... they are a great insecticide ;) As for the clip of the woman in the car, during our summers in particular, you litterally cannot touch the steering wheel and yes, the seat belt buckle will leave a nasty whelt from the burn.
😄😀😀😀😀🤣🤣🤣🤣Don't leave your water bottle in your car on a hot day it will explode.
