Do you have a favorite creature from the Australian and New Zealand Folklore? and why? Maybe a creature which is not found in this video?
Kurangaituku, the Maori bird-ogress.
im from austraila and its really nice to see someone speak about our folklore and i only know about half of my folklore thank you showing people that dont know about nz and aus folklore
Finally people learn about our mythology
Dude as an Aussie I can honestly say the Drop Bear is a real thing. Sometimes koalas do fall out of trees, but the important thing is that you don’t hurt it cause you’ll just piss it off, and trust me, you do NOT want a pissed off koala
As an Australian, thank you for highlighting many of the amazing Indigenous mythological creatures! So many people sleep on these amazing legends from one of the world's eldest cultures
"Watch out for drop bears!"- Bandit Heeler, Bluey
The drop bear is also a good warning not to touch Australian wildlife because they can all rip you to shreds if you corner them… koalas included….
So cool to see an episode done on my homeland of new zealand and our cousins across the way in austrailia. Thanks for making this one, Keep up the good work!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I believe Joseph Campbell would have loved this channel and definitely been a subscriber. 👍
As a guy who likes to write fantasy, I love hearing/watching these videos and view them as a potential source of inspiration! Please keep up the good work!
I knew about half of these. I’m from New Zealand but learned about the Dreamtime as a child
I'll never forget "Dot and the Kangaroo" featuring the Bunyip, from my childhood
As a aboriginal Australian this is awesome I love folklore from all over the world very cool I can confirm alot of these have been told to me and alot are real most white Australian don't know or refuse to believe that's why we don't really talk about our stories In aboriginal folklore there's a man called featherfoot I cant describe the noise of one but when heard you have to run for as long as you can't hear it anymore it's one the scariest experiences instant goosebumps when heard the clever man is another if didgeridoo is heard while your in the bush at night either with one or 3 people run clever man and transform into animals love my culture ♥️
Amazing! Australian mythology is quite fascinating! I always knew about the Bunyip and the Yarama-yha-who, but I never knew about the rest. The Nargun seems pretty interesting. Its like an Australian golem. And the Yowie is like a bigfoot or a yeti in being an ape like monster. And I had no idea about the Hooroo. Nevertheless, this video taught me a great deal about Australian mythology.
So, awesome how you speak about different myths and not the same typical ones.
Worro wuttos ma ang veliampuiit.. kaninne Lu 👍
I always learn something from these videos. Thank you for the content and keep up the good work.
Ooh love seeing an Aussie video! So many i hadn't heard of ☺️
Thanks for your information brother ❤🎉
Thank you for the information in this video. I didn't know anything about the mythology of New Zealand and or Australia
Glad you enjoyed M8!
I would love to see more about Maori myths 3 wasn’t enough
The Nargun are from my region of Australia, have heard many awesome stories of them from our local indigenous
This channel is mad good the way you describe myths is insanely detailed! Could you do a video on Italian myths (not Roman, just the Sardinian folklore and maybe northern Italy because there are a lot of fascinating myths)

13:18 - "While the drop bear itself is a joke". The drop bear is no joke! Walk under trees in drop bear habitat without first smearing yourself in vegemite, and you're asking for trouble! As the only mythical creature here that actually does exist, it's not to be taken lightly. Look up, stay alive!
Australian and New Zealander legends are extra fun because those countries are already basically fantasy worlds full of bizarre deadly creatures and humanity really did just throw darts at what animals they wanted to believe in, and that’s how you get the platypus.
2:44 Akurra is the most beautiful, fictional serpent I've ever seen.
Interesting, however the correct pronunciation of taniwha is Ta-ne-fa. Still interesting to see.
Interesting how myths of Australian Aboriginal people closely resemble those of Asia (also shared with Europe). For instance, idea of gigantic supernatural creature that causes draughts by capturing all the world's water: the only difference being that in Australia it's a giant frog, while in Asia/Europe it's a snake. Then the stories about huge rainbow serpent, alive stone figure creatures... Even vampires in the first story, which are actually tiny nocturnal monkeys that really exist in southeast Asia jungles, and have suckers on their hands and feet, but are locally believed to jump on sleeping people and drink blood by means of these 'suckers'. All this seems to point that Australia in the past was nothing similar the isolated piece of land it is often believed to be, but actually had many contacts with Asia wich worked to exchange stories and legends.
Burrunjor of Australian Jurassic Park. 🦖
Not first nation but i guess second nation Australian. I had forgotten about Tiddilik. As a small kid in primary school we had a lot of these stories read to us. I do remember that one. :). I notice the Drop Bear got a mention ;). I hope next time the Bin Chicken will also :).
Someone might be able to help me on this. I Recall a story about a crocodile being used by another small creature to cross a river. Might need to google it. Actually a few versions of this story. From a monkey to a fox.
Yes yes. the story is famous, it s called: "The Monkey and the Crocodile" :)
A drop bear is just a kola with the clap you know the get itchy so the lose there grip
So the Hooroo is actually a Deathclaw ? ;-)
Taniwha is pronounced as Ta-ni-FA lol good on you for trying, I laughed so loud lol Wha, is pronounced as FA 😊
Isn't yowie a yeti or big foot in usa
That art at the beginning of the video, the large dog-like creature chasing that bloke…Who’s the artist? And what is it? Why wasn’t it actually featured in the list?
Well the intention was to be THE HOOROO.. which is presented. Not a wild dog :))
Ahhh right, ok. Thanks very much👍🏼
Taniwha pronounced tani fa 😀
When saying any Maori words always pronounce them correctly. So tāniwha you got the tāni part right but the last letters are pronounced as faa so w,h and a is faa.
Tāniwha. Tah-nee-faa.
Its said that the yama-ha-wa-ru swalloed his pray after draining it, then spitt - repeat thr process untill slowly he convert his victim. This his remind me the bloated, reddish body of an revenant/shamanistic warlock who creat a new body under his sickly/dead body, gourged from nurishment he stole from victims as astral projection vampire-glimmer man like form
A lot of Australian folklore must have started after they slaughtered all of the megafauna since they keep talking about not diminishing their natural resources.
❤🎉 nobody the❤
Do you employ an illustrator or is this AI generated art?
Australia needs no folklore just look at what’s actually walking crawling flying & swimming around.
