50 OUTRAGEOUS Wild Animal Moments From AUSTRALIA REACTION
Have you ever experienced being this close to any of these animals?
Spiders yes all the time but not as big as the one on the shed wall.
Kangaroos in my front yard, I've hit a few on the roads mostly the car is second best in that, also turned into the driveway late one night and a big bugger Waa right there eye to eye with me near the letterbox out front the girlfriend and I nearly shat. They graze on our front lawn if times are dry as it continues to grow.
Echidna wondering around on the boundary of the street and the olive farm across the street.
Koalas sometimes.
Cockatoos, lorrikeets, Rosella's, galahs, magpies, corellas, ibis ( the famous bin chicken , look them up), kookaburras regularly.
I'm about an hour west of Melbourne.

Song about birds . Featuring the famous Ibis. Aka the bin chicken.
Years ago, at a place called 'Youngs Crossing' in Brisbane, we were rope-swinging into the river for an hour or so, my mate and I were perched on the branch above the water, when my mate looks down and says 'whats that' at what we thought was a shadow at first... then we noticed it was a dirty great big bull shark. We climbed down.
I've also encountered a Red Belly Black Snake about 5ft from my face, while playing Paintball. He was sound asleep, so didnt bother me.
check this one out: ua-cam.com/video/6VrgQQdPC1Q/v-deo.html
Those were Asian tourists who don't think koalas are any threat. If you annoy them they will retaliate. The rule in Australia is leave them alone and they will leave you alone.
Those of us who live in Aus have seen pretty much all of these animals at various times. Kangaroos are generally pretty chill, but if they get lost in a suburban area (not rare but fairly uncommon), they can become a bit aggressive out of fear. In a wildlife park or similar setting, they are usually harmless and enjoy getting petted but they are still wild animals, so you need to watch out for the kids. That being said, a kangaroo did knock my daughter down when she was about 6, trying to pet it in a wildlife park. Spiders that size in our houses are fairly common - I get probably 3-4 Huntsmans in my house every year and while not all of them are 15cm across, 10cm would be pretty average. Frilled-necked lizards are generally found in the more remote areas and are super funny - but they do remind me of the little dinosaurs in Jurassic Park. Thorny devil lizards are super interesting! Echidnas are just adorable and my daughter and I once stopped and moved one off the road, very similar to that video. We don't get koalas in the wild in Western Australia but I've seen them in the wild over east many times.
Thanks for letting me know, that is a great rundown of all the animals. Really nice to learn more about them
Kangaroos CAN be pretty chill, but can also be quite agressive not out of fear so much as seeking dominance. The females and immature males not so much, but adult males are best given a wide berth. Wallabies are lot more timid (although I came across a wallaroo in the bush that didn't even flex like a roo would, just watched me while he ate and waited to see if I would leave or need to be seen off). Just remember to treat wild animals like they are wild animals.
Sorry, but kangaroos, I wouldn't call chill. They usually are timid towards people unless they've spent a fair bit of time around them or will keep their distance and look for food but that doesnt mean they wont be aggressive. They are extremely dangerous and have been known even though it's rare, gut people with their kick. Petting zoos should be banned no one should be getting this close or allowing their children near them. I'm a mother of 3 that's lived out bush a majority of my life and I would never let my kids 10 feet near a kangaroo
Lol I saw some yank make a comment that said "funny enough, Kangaroos adopt domestic dogs, to protect them from wild dingoes" and I'm just like "um, excuse me???"
😂😂😂😂😂
Simply don't approach kangaroos because they're not tame only an idiot would think that
You're so right. The people getting attacked in these videos are mostly bringing it on themselves because they don't respect the animals. Aside from the crocodiles which are carnivores and known to hunt humans, all of these animals are only dangerous when they feel threatened, or as though their territory is threatened. Give them space (especially during breeding seasons) and you'll probably be okay.
Exactly, it pisses me off that tourists seem to think Koalas (and btw mate, they are not bears, they are marsupials) or Kangaroos are cute and cuddly.... they are wild animals and will fuck you up if you approach their territory, or during mating season or just get them in a bad mood lmfao.....
The kangaroo that you thought attacked the car at night was actually blinded by the light and trying to jump over it to get away. This is why many of them die on the road, because they get disoriented.
That makes sense. That is a shame. Poor thing
They will fully total your car too. It’s pretty dangerous to drive in some areas at night or at dusk. My friend hit a roo when she was driving in the evening in a rural area. Her car was wrecked and it smashed the windscreen on impact, luckily it didn’t end up in the car with her. She said it just bounded off afterwards, but I’m sure it was probably injured.
Like a deer in the headlights but agressive
Rule is as an adventurer to not travel Aussie highways at night. Saying this tho Truckies night ride and kill Kangas, sheep, cows etc. Food for wild dogs, birds, and our Wedge Tail eagles. Nothing is wasted in this harsh environment. Nullarbor plains is a great experience for this 🏖️🐪🐍🦞🦜☺️🐾🦈
Ah, the funnel web spider. One of the most deadly spiders on the planet.
No, it IS the deadliest spider on the planet.
You hit the nail right on the head every incident depicted was the result of intimidation provocation or invasion of space with very few exceptions the bloke waving his legs at the Emus peaking their curiosity was one incident and the kookaburra entering the home looking for food was another . We have a mantra taught to us from childhood LEAVE THE WILDLIFE ALONE AND IT WILL LEAVE YOU ALONE . The reptile you thought looked like an alien was a frill neck lizard and the spikey lizard was a bearded dragon both harmless . Its also a myth that we have poisonous snakes and spiders we don't they are venomous , theoretically you can eat them but I don't know anyone who would want to .most deaths from animals are caused by cows and horses mostly from traffic accidents or riding mishaps .
The sipky lizard was a thorny devil. They move slowly and are found in the desert. Bearded dragons look like a normal lizard. I used to have one as a pet in Brisbane... 🙂
@@NeilBlanco exactly
Yeah those lizards were very interesting. Two animals I have never seen before. Thanks for letting me know what they are
@@NeilBlanco you are of course correct I'm getting my Iizards mixed up my only excuse is ,I'm as my son says , older than dirt .and wouldn't know my arse from my elbow .
@@tomwareham7944 that made me laugh lol
Kangaroos rarely just attack. They will have a go if theyre chased or provoked by humans, as in some of those videos, or dogs. That mob on a golf course isnt unusual. Its a good environment for them plenty of grass and water. The woman was in no danger of being attacked by all of them. That kangaroo jumping on the car wasnt attacking either it was a collision between it and a car in the dark. Sadly very common on country roads at dusk and dawn. Usually kills the roo and badly damages the car. Apart from the birds You wont see much wildlife in the inner city anywhere, but on the outer suburban edges and rurally most wildlife is seen quite commonly. It also depends on what part of Australia you live in, as to what type of animals you'll see.
A full grown Roo can balance on its tail and snap your spine in two with one kick
Not to mention disembowel you
Frilled necked lizard, and they're as funny as hell, and man can they run lol
The way they run looks so funny
Aussie animals have no boundaries.😄 Your house is just part of the landscape so it's their house too, and if you live in a suburban area that is close to bushland you'll get visitors occasionally. Even living in a city in North Queensland I had venomous snakes trying to get in the house, and yes, spiders that large chasing me across the lounge room. Had a possum lived in the garage and the cat used to sleep with it. It came every night to the verandah for some fruit. My sister lived in Townsville and had crocs in the backyard so watching your kids and pets is a must. There's a couple of things in that video that annoy me though. Dogs and people harassing roos is cruel and irresponsible. That woman saying the guy was alright with the Dingoes doesn't know them. If he'd tripped and ended up on the ground they would have attacked him. Everything about their stance and behaviour tells me they were waiting for a chance.They usually don't show aggressive behaviour before striking. It's sudden and fast. It's why we call sly people Dingoes.
The huntsman spider is in suburbia and they grow large, but if you have them in the house you won’t have flies - at least that’s my understanding.
That looked like what we called a frilly neck lizard, but don’t quote me. I’m Aussie and we’ve had blue tongue lizards in our back yard. They’re beautiful and I’d never hurt one. Gotta love this country!
They're definitely being provoked . Those humans are terrible
Defo mate
Thorny devils are pretty cool, their spikes aren't actually a defensive adaptation, but a survival one, they collect and channel dew that collects on them to the lizard's mouth so it can drink, really cool desert creature.
Years ago, in the Northern Territory, my husband was fishing by a creek. A huge salt water croc launched itself out of the water and chased him into the bush. My husband scaled up a gum tree and the croc sat under that tree for hours just waiting for him to come down. Eventually, it gave up and went back to the creek. Close call....
"Koalas are just so wholesome apart from when they're attacking children." Never a truer word spoken.
haha
PMSL when I heard this
Also when you hear them in the bush at night they sound ferocious.
I get huntsmen in the house when it gets cold and damp. I catch them in a jar and put them in the trees outside. They are never that big on the Mornington Peninsula.
Frillys (Frilled Neck Lizards) are harmless.
P.S. the thornie devel lizard doesn't drink like other critters, if it finds a puddle of water it will stand in the water, & the water will rise by capillary action up the outside of the body to the corner of the mouth, or if it gets rained on same thing
Wow that is so interesting. Never heard of anything like that before. Thanks
That golfer must have done something to that roo to make it that angry
Yeah for sure mate. I thought so too
Yeah, if the roo chested up, the guy should have just backed away and moved off. If he tried to immidate or frighten it once it was on alert, it simply go after him, as seen on the video.
Roos attack by holding you and trying to rake your guts out with their giant lower claws lol
True! They’ll also punch, get their enemy in a choke hold, and bite.
The last 2 kangaroo "attacks" on people were both raised in captivity. We have people who have wildlife licences who can raise orphans to hopefully be released. Part of growing up is that they learn to spar with other roos. As an orphan they have the urge but no one to play learn fighting that they need in the wild. Those two were sparring - you'll notice the last one even had a harness, But the arm out and body turned is the right way to protect from a kangaroo - protect the abdomen and organs, that is what those raking back feet are trying to damage.
Chinese tourists always get into trouble with Australian wildlife.
They seem to have no idea that wild animals can hurt them.
Funnel web spider
The thrill neck lizard is the emblem of NORFORCE based in the NT and Kimberley region of Northern Western Australia. It was also used in the Jurassic movie, but much bigger and spat an acid
That was not an Emu it was an Ostrich
The Kangaroo being saved was being saved from Lake Burley Griffin Lake in Canberra. Not a river
It's worth noting a kangaroo can 'gut' you with its hind legs! They're mostly harmless but wild. Also, Aussie snakes are THE deadliest in the world! I used to see movies as a kid where they had cobras and rattlesnakes... freaked me out. Then I found out our common brown snake is more deadly... 🤣
I live in Hobart. As I look out my window right now, I can see wallabies and pademelons. I've had echidnas and Tasmanian Devils on my property, bandicoots, quolls, Wedge-tail eagles and many more. It's pretty special.
Wow, you are so lucky to see all that wildlife 😍
The Tassie Devils used to run along the river bank at night on my parents' farm. They are nocturnal. During breeding season, they fight and make incredible noises, and they have incredibly powerful jaws. They can bite through bone easily.
I grew up in the suburbs of Sydney and never saw kangaroos outside of the zoos. Since living on the coast between Sydney and Brisbane I have kangaroos grazing on my front lawn each morning and evening. There is a group of them (known as a mob of kangaroos) living on the nearby headland by the beach. They are not generally aggressive but as you can see they become agitated by dogs hassling them.
Interesting, thanks for letting me know
I live on the South Coast that backs onto a Golf course, Kangaroos EVERYWHERE!!!
Being an Australian , it frustrates to no end when we see people not realizing that when a kangaroo is kicking at you they are actually trying to gut you. Those hind legs have Very Long and Sharpe claws that if they hit you in the stomach or soft fleshy area they are going to rip you open. ( I'm not joking ) Don't get that close to a kangaroo,,,, even if its laying down.
THE most dangerous of them, the Brown snake and the funnel web spider. The roos can kick your arse too :p
The kangaroo rescue was actually in a lake in the middle of a city, the additional context is that that was in -1°C and that kangaroo would have died in there if left for much longer
So you have the spikey lizard is a Thorney Devil. The Kookaburra( who was girl's friend and bit man's finger), is our wake up call in the morning in rural areas. The frilled orange lizard is a Frilled Neck Lizard, pretty much only found in desert areas. The Echidna, the spikey brown ball crossing the road, is like an ant eater, very harmless and won't bite. The large spider in the 1st clip coming out of the webbed hole is a Sydney Funnel Web Spider, very dangerous and most of the time will have a very tell tale nest like that. The Big leggy spider in the shed I think is harmless, maybe a Bird Eating Spider or Wolf Spider. Kangaroos will attack and if they have that on their brain there's no stopping them. The golf cart scene is actually longer where he hits it with the golf club. They can get very vicious. Koalas can get very vicious aswell, sure they look very harmless and cuddly, but they have 1 to 2 inch claws and long toenails and are really strong. Snakes are just wanting to be left alone, as soon as you move 1 step away they'll slither off away from you. Magpie, they will swoop like crazy in Spring here if they're an adult pair. They'll dive bomb you and peck out your eye or get your ears. So they are quite dangerous so keep a leafy branch with you.
The big spider they poke its web is not a Sydney funnel web spider it's way to large to be one and I'd a slightly different shape and the legs are to long. This is a species found in ground burrows stump hollows tarantula found up north.
The large spider kids are playing with in the shed is a species of Orb spider.
@@mickabikhair675 nope Funnel Web.
@@mickabikhair675 you're correct about the Orb spider though.
@@kelliewhyte_85 I'm not sure. He paused the video a few times on that spider and it didn't look like a funnel web spider to me. The abdomen was too long I thought 🤷♀️
Roos are everywhere at the moment. They've had a few good seasons to grow in numbers. Our summers have been milder than normal. With wild animals don't bother them and they are less likely to bother you, even snakes. Saw an amazing video last week of a brown snake in a battle with a red bellied black, both dangerous snakes. Koalas are cute and live in the Adelaide hills. They often go to houses for water in hot weather, but beware of the claws. We have possums around our area in the inner suburbs. They come out at night and have fights in the garden. The are a pain but they are a protected species (although not in NZ where they were an introduced species. They are hunted down there as they are a danger to NZ native animals). Crocodiles only in the tropics, not in the southern states. Huntsman spiders (the big onès) are not dangerous but disconcerting to see one inside. Funnel web spiders are mostly around Sydney and are very dangerous.
Thanks for letting me know Lynda
Thanks digger. As kids growing up, wherever you live, you learn about anything dangerous. I've seen plenty of snakes, but never had a concern about being bitten. They're more scared of us.
Dingoes have killed kids as old as nine so that woman saying not to fear the dingo was an idiot.
Fraser Island have had lots of dingoes attack babies and children
They look like western grey roos on the golf course
kangaroos are like rats here in the uk. just go around getting in the way
The kookaburra, also known as the bush and alarm clock…. They start singing just after dawn.
why isnt Frilled Neck Lizard racing a thing?
As an Australian 🇦🇺 the worst wild life to encounter in person are "DROP BEARS" There truely terrifying to see in real life.
I had a koala climb the tree in my front yard a few weeks ago (the first one I've seen in my neighbourhood), a frill-neck lizard chased into the study by my cat, a couple of pythons and a brown snake in the backyard, a grey falcon at my back door. Haven't yet had any kangaroos, but I'm sure it's possible. This is the northern suburbs of Brisbane :)
It’s illegal to hit or harm an indigenous animal, irrespective of it chasing you. You’ll be fined heavily for any form of abuse. You have to stay out of their way! Some of these people are idiots. YES, you just stay out of their way! Report sightings or incidents to the council or relevant authorities.
Oh and, koalas are NOT bears! NOT related. STOP SAYING KOALA BEARS!!!
I love my kookaburras in my back yard as they eat small rodents, lizards and snakes.
That sliding glass door is probably tinted so the roo can see his reflection. Baby kangaroo are called Joey.
If I can just be blunt, I, being an Aussie, really cringe when ppl call a Koala a "Koala Bear!!!" They are NOT bears!!
As we say to damn near everyone that doesnt live in Australia... a Koala IS NOT A BLOODY BEAR!! 😂
It's the same as with any animals, choose to avoid them if they are feeding, sleeping or breeding - same with humans really! 😄 And don't choose to take on a Large Alpha Male Kangaroo if he's defending his breeding rights or family! 😠 I've never been swooped by a Magpie, they are beautiful and can be tame! Kookaburras visit me regularly, so cheeky! Never steal a devil's food! Only pat Koalas at a Sanctuary! The Kangaroo is challenging himself in the glass, ie mirror! No Kangaroos don't attack, it's just their space, you wait! Crocodiles react to vibration, food or danger! Huntsman's twice a year, if it's about to rain, come then go! Yes, humans treating badly! 😠
Just leave the kangaroos, koalas, and frilled necked lizards alone. Also koalas are not bears, they are marsupials.
Koalas are friggin random. They go from fluffy _awww_ to *dropbear AAARRRGGHHH* in about 3 seconds flat. You should never try to handle a wild one... it's kinda in the description... 'wild' one. Years ago my mother tried to help an injured one beside the road and it clawed up her arm pretty good and bit her. We found it dead the next day so that'll learn it.
Thorny devil - ummmm I had one of these run up my jeans when I was about 13/14 up near Meekatharra, WA and that wasn't fun lol
Most of these were definitely city slickers and tourists, getting scared by/acting moronically around animals they really shouldn’t and all, not many were remotely “outrageous” encounters whatsoever
Went to work, felt a bit seedy. I'd woken up with a red dot on my forehead. By 8am I was vomiting and had to be taken to hospital, a spider had bitten me in my sleep. Second spider bit was a few years later, on my leg. It formed a hole in my leg with a lump around it, flares up a few times a.year. it was painful AF.
Talk about cruelty to animals. The video is basically humans acting inappropriately with wild creatures. A lot of them were set ups trying to get maximum impact. Those poor koalas that acted aggressively were scared to death. Unfortunately many humans have a poor understanding of nature.
Sorry but Koala not Koala bear, watch out for their claws, Frilled Necked Lizard and a Thorny Devil both beautiful Frilled neck run on their hind legs and flair out their frill to look more imposing and much larger than reality
The friendly kangaroo that they saved from the river, 'shaking hands'.... they grab you like that to be able to hold you close enough to sit on their tail and kick you hard enough to gut you with their back legs....
That clip of the kangaroo being pulled out of the lake, was filmed in my home city, and it’s definitely not in a suburban area, like 5 mins from the cbd haha
Feeling bad for the animals is right. Living in Australia you learn to love them. A lot of these animals come through our property and cause no issues. Actually it is lovely to see them. The 'bitey' ones are always respected and we look for them. Remember any animal gets fiesty during breeding season!
Don't poke things with sticks and you will be fine. You should be more worried about the sun and running out of water!
"Wild dingoes may not be as dangerous as everyone thinks" would have to be one of the stupidest comments I have ever heard. They are pack-hunting highly cunning and intelligent canivorous wild dogs. Fortunately it has been quite a while since anyone was killed, but that was on the same island where that video looks to have been taken, and there was an attack on a child (who needed hospitalization) only last December.
The one of the roo jumping at the car. That's why you gotta be aware when driving in the country. It happens a fair bit and they can really do some damage.
Koalas are more dangerous in mating season, which is why those idiots probably got attacks with two being there , they usually are alone
That is a Frillneck Lizard --- They're Awesome!
That big roo banging on the glass door was probably fighting his own reflection.
Bingo
The first take place in my home town of Newcastle it's the City with largest coal port as well.
I’ve had king brown snakes chase me for over 30 m on the golf course 😮
A lot of the Aggression comes when they are in mating season. Plus certain Smells on humans will cause issues
I've been chased by a 2metre/ approx. 6 foot GOANNA. I lived on a farm and it came too near the house garden. I feared for my young children. I walked after it to shoo it away Goannas are bulky, carnivorous lizard-like reptiles with sharp teeth and claws and can move swiftly and sprint on their back legs. It got angry with me chasing it, turned around and began chasing me and hissing. I have never run so fast in my life and have lived to tell this tale.
Also, I know of a family driving in their car and they hit a kangaroo. It came through the front windscreen and ended up in the back seat where the children were. In it's struggle to get away, it's claws cut up the children severely and they had to go to hospital.
that spider was tiny... most Aussies would agree...
I love your Scottish accent! My grandfather’s parents were Scottish. I’ve always wanted to visit my ancestral homeland. It looks like an amazingly beautiful place ❤️
There's been a huntsman in my sink all day. Tonight I caught it in a container with a lid and put it outside. Yes, sometimes there are spiders. I only kill them if they're poisonous 😁
Bit of a lesson on poisonous and venomous.
If it bites to kill its prey it’s “venomous”.
If it uses it for defence it’s “poisonous”.
For instance snakes and spiders are venomous. Frogs and toads are poisonous.
😃
@@fugawiaus you are correct about venomous, but poisonous means it's toxic when you eat them.
@@fugawiaus and not necessarily bites, stings also.
So venom = injection
Poisonous= toxic to eat.
@@kelliewhyte_85 not just when you eat them, cane toads secrete poison from glands on the back of their head. Poison is a defence, venom is to kill to eat.
When dingoes get into a pack like that, that means theyre in hunting mode. You have to get away.
With kangaroos you just have to be respectful. I've spent a lot of time with them. It's mostly the males that will fight. Protecting their family, themselves or if scared.
They will let you just walk past them if you leave them alone. They will also become rather friendly if they get used to you and understand you are not a threat.
I love them.
We have so many here where I live in Melbourne Victoria.
I think they are Amaizing animals that deserve our respect.
Most of the people causing trouble are tourists.
Koalas are NOT bears. They are marsupials.
Never hit a kanagroo. Its wrong and illegal
Just shoot the buggers . Great source of lean red meat.
I live in rural Northern Territory and this is just a handful of the wildlife I get in my yard all around me all the time. It's awesome
2:05 drop bears are the ones you have to worry about
THESE PEOPLE ARE TOURISTS LISTEN TO THEIE VOICES
PS/ Here in QLD we live with these unique animals (except Koala's) daily: Croc's, snakes, spiders ect... & I wouldn't live anywhere else!
Koala's aren't bears ffs
Our wild life is everywhere.
I live in Mandurah WA and have shared my front yard with kangaroos, 20 different types of birds occupy it each night, hand feed magpies, kookaburras, possums and bandicoots. In spring time the snakes come out onto the footpaths especially near the beaches to warm up in the sun and Ive dug up babies whilst gardening. I've come across a few different types of lizard. Spiders are everywhere. You just kind of live with them. If you try to get rid of them they'll just come back or others just move in. The closer to Bushland you are the bigger the spider. Whilst on my travels, I've seen 1 echidna and 1 emu ✌🏻
That actually sounds awesome!
Hi,,thrillneck lizard,thornie Devil lizare,Big red kangaroos, Tasman devil ,they stink, kookaburra, Wombats,
Beware the drop bear
Hi, thrillneck lizards, thorny Devil lizards,Big Red Kangaroo,
You can find wild kangaroos in the outskirts of Melbourne they are very common.
Crocs can jump straight up out of the water to around 20 ft
They can jump high but 20 feet is quite the exaggeration (closer to 10 feet), crocs can jump out the water but majority of their tale doesent leave the water, so the croc would have to be atleast like 35 feet long, plus if there was a croc that big even with his huge tail muscle he still would not be able to launch himself like a average or small croc could
@@aaronf1078 I’ve seen a 20ft long croc completely out of the water to jump for food soooo whatever you say buddy
@@lillibitjohnson7293 male cow excrement
Yeah, I've lived amongst roos a lot ( Swan Valley / Derby / Esperance / Mandurah ), so still see roo's on a very regular basis. We have 2 main roos in WA, the Western Grey and the Big Red roos that can grow to around 7ft (known as a boomer )
Watch "How Horses Save Humans From Snakebites" on the Veritasium channel. you'll see the most dangerous job in Australia....
MSTV..You need to watch a few docos about Australia..Cheers Mate from down under...lol
If you haven't seen these lizards you need to go and watch "Priscilla" @6:34
Hi Mat, just wondering if you've seen videos of Australia's lyrebirds? They are incredible creatures. -ua-cam.com/video/KOFy8QkNWWs/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/JGxcw1tbjkE/v-deo.html
You should watch movie Back to the Outback. Its animated amd brilliant cast. Animals are beautiful.
Someone has probably mentioned this - the spider was a funnel web - deadliest spider in Australia
What the heck is Ashtaywyah?! And i thought American's butchered the pronunciation 🤣
Omg dingoes are not friendly, kangaroo's do attack, koalas are not friendly, emus you don't see much
just remember. a wild animal is a wild animal... Aust is the continent TIME forgot. Have a good one me scotty mate.. cheers.
Frilled neck lizard lol..funnel Web spiders are dangerous, magpies are very protective at breeding time lol Many of these people are idiots for provoking these animals....😢
As someone who was born in Australia -
*I have had 2 encounters with Kangaroo's
The first time we were moving to Melbourne from Queensland and a bunch of Kangaroo's blocked the way. The second time was the drive to school, We nearly hit one.
*Echidna I've only ever encountered once, It was peaceful and I held it.
*Spiders i encounter every damn day. Sometimes they hide in my bed and under my pillow. I kind of attacked one with a nerf bullet...
*(2:06 & 14:10) As for the frilled-neck lizards....i have been chased by 2 while at the zoo XD Fun fact: I called it a Mini Velociraptor as a child...
*We had this thing in school where every Friday they'd have someone bring in animals and one of those animals was a baby croc. For snakes it's the same as Crocs. One was brought in and i offered to hold it.
*Koala's i have only ever encountered at the zoo
*Now for Cockatoo's I've had four land on me and steal my apple -_-
*Kookaburra's are my by far favorite. We actually had one outside a few days ago. I hit my head then the Kookaburra make's itself own. Fun Fact: I call Kookaburra's 'The Laughing Bird'.
*Magpies.....worst bird when it's mating season. I have been swooped by 50+ of them...though did nurse one back to health once.
*(3:47)...Never encounted an Emu but Australia did go to war and lost with them
*Thorny Devils & Tasmanian Devils i have never encountered. Dingo's I have met once....all i got were licks. (14:46) Never encounted that lizard before.
{{Story Time:
funny story(to me at least), i was about 5-7 when this happened.
Me and my mother was at a beach and i found a crab and decided to chase it in hopes to catch it. Well...didn't go as planned as my mother called me which allowed the crab to get away.
Another time we decided to go on a blow-up boat with a friend and we got stuck so i offered to help....stood on a few crabs and ultimately paid the price. Though falling and accidently sitting on them was worse...}}
You don't want to be in an argument with a Koala because they will claw you to death & the Lizard is a 'Frilly' (Frill Necked Lizard) & these little blighters will chase you if felt threatened 😅! The Cockies (Cockatoo) are destructive birds as well as they'll destroy your vege garden in an hour 😢!
For perspective I live in the outer suburbs of Sydney’s SW and work in the CBD. My wife grew up in Bundeena which is inside the Royal National Park south of Sydney where you would expect to see Red bellies and Brown snakes. Her parents moved to suburbs in south Camden (15 mins away) next to open sports field same thing!
I visited London zoo’s last holiday back to the UK (2018) and had a great close up discussion next to Tarantula keeper. While the spider was very placid and eventually he decided to put it away after it showed any signs of movement. I do remember asking him the basic first aid requirements which he had never been asked about and did not know and proceeded to give him thirty second explanation on what’s needed and how to save a coworkers life. Also that the dinner plate size South Eastern Qld Tarantula was approximately three times bigger and found in my backyard, could run at 2M/Sec nearly always away from you. Never photographed yet but I’m told by the Sydney University Arachnologist (a spider expert), that if I get a photo of it this will be the most southern sighting of this spider. New neighbour came and asked me if we get many snake sightings given we have large sports fields right next to us, and I answered luckily not in the entire time we have lived here.I just omitted to comment on the Spiders.
