I was going to Australia for a vacation, saw this video and canceled my trip..

You've just got to throw the whole country away

One area of the Funnel Web spider's venom I am fascinated to explore is the function of the peptides that cause motor neurons to force fire in humans and other primates if bitten, If this can be studied on a deeper level then everything from preventing brain damage in stroke victims to reversing or stopping the effects of Motor Neuron Disease could potentially follow.

If they become the reason for a cure for breast cancer, I want to see them as a scarily-huge mascot for breast cancer. Can have Floats and parades of cancer awareness and of the future of cancers being beaten. The one representing Breast cancer isn't humans, or human females.... but just a giant mascot of the sydney funnel web spider.

the spider biting the fake finger made me cringe

I've never been more uncomfortable for 3 mins than this.

i can't believe you're not that popular on youtube with such a quality contents

Love your videos and the content! It would be awesome to have more videos from you.

I used to be obsessed with this spider, knew everything about it, this brought back a few memories haha. Hope to see a video on the irukandji sometime in the near future!

I wish you guys had more videos):

I saw the box jellyfish video shared on Reddit, and have proceeded to watch all of your videos. You earnt a subscribe from me, love the videos cant wait to see more!

wouldn't live 20-25 years if it came in my house

It makes me uncomfortable how close you are to the spider. :)

Holy moly! Not a really pleasant sight at 1:38. Just watching already hurts. Great video! I can already see I'll love this channel!

It turns out that a hairy and scary looking spider with fangs to rival Dracula has venom that can kill humans but also has the potential to cure cancer. When researches exposed components of the venom to breast cancer cells they died. Find our more in our video.

Wonderful videoes! Keep making more informational videos please !

great quality video. subbed.

great production value.

love your channel, keep up the good work ^^

u make amazing videos! i just subscribed to your channel ^^

When can we expect full length documentaries on National Geographic? I'd watch it a few million times.

Really cool spider! Wish that the narrator had discussed more about how the venom worked to kill breast cancer cells. Exactly what type of CA cells it was used on & if this was an in vitro or in vivo application? IF what he is saying is true, then why isn't more money being spent to do research on this potential cure??

How do you make your animated segment of your super-cool videos?

I'm so glad this guy's in more videos... But at the same time - why am i watching spider videos before bed.....

Fantastic show.

So ladies, who’s ready for their cancer curing spider bite?

are they true spiders because they have alot of tarantula characteristics

Good vid thanks guys

is the sydney funnel web related to trapdoor spiders? i ask because the exoskeletons of both species seem a bit similar

The most venomous spider in the world is the Brazilian wandering spider,but the Sydney funnel web spider is the second most venomous spider in the world

The fake finger part always makes me cringe before i realize its fake

I thought the wandering spider was the most venomous.

i didnt know you did this vid

The funnel web spider is a lot bigger in reality than I thought it was growing up. I don't know why, but I always thought adult funnel web spiders were the size of the small garden variety spiders found back home, which don't get larger than a US quarter at best. Now I know better.

1:39 i thought that finger was a burrito

Cancer is on an individual basses so it could potentially work for some but be inefective to others

where can i buy this thing

Do these Spiders get milked for Anti-Venom at The Australian Reptile Park?

The Sydney funnel web is not the most venomous spider in the world. That title is held by another Australian funnel web, the Northern tree funnel web Hadronyche formidabilis

are they legal to keep as pets?

How do the marsupial predators prevent getting bitten?

"A spider that could cure cancer". Who knew cancer was just one type of thing.....

do a video on Russell's Viper's venom please.

I though the Brazilian wandering spider had more deadly venom?

I bet they taste good too.

This spider is indeed extremely venomous but it is not the most venomous spider in the world. The Brazilian wanderer is.

Isn't it also one of the oldest, if not the oldest spider species alive?

They say “more about that another time” but I can never find another time😨

isn't Brazilian Wandering Spider the most venomous spider ?

Actually it's 2nd to the brizan wandering spider

Can the venom cure cancer? I remember reading ASA does contain mini-micro doses Black Spider Widow venom as a pain killer. Just what I read.

Amazing!

20 deaths in Australia, ever? Or per year? EDIT: Ah OK, ever. Wow, we did pretty well.

Sounds like the description of Wolf Creek killer

One of you came here because of Spider-Man Reign, right? Well, in that story, Spider-Man's sperm gave his wife cancer. I searched "spider-cancer" and came here.

I wanted to learn more about the cure, less about the spiders.

I need way more coffee in me to watch a video like this lol damn

How does it compare to the Brazilian Wandering Spider?

It can cure cancer but what else would it do

Is he from New Zealand?

A low sugar and alkaline diet plus excercise and oxygen therapy should cure cancer also dont stress.

I've had 3 of these In my backyard pool. Nothing like living in the Australian Bush

im confused...when i was a kid the funnel web was the worlds most deadly...a few years later the Brazilian wandering spider surfaces as something much more venomous. now back at the intro to the funnel web being the most venomous...which one is it? what ive found is the funnel web still hides from people doesnt seek out kills and keeps to it self. the wandering spider has been known to attack barefoot children in the street in broad day sending them to the hospital. but which one has taken more lives and which ones venom is actually stronger? anyone know? i get mixed answers online so thats why im asking

I didn't share it. Badly worded, but I saw it on there. regardless great job!

Actually the Sydney funnel web is the second venomous the Brazilian wandering spider is the most venomous

Why am i scared i live in arizona

Can you try to find a cure for Ebola through some animals?

That shit is able to kill anything :PPPP

Fucking hell how do you Aussies cope with those hellspawn?

I have these in my backyard - and I'm constantly walking around without shoes on in the dark and drunk. I don't know how I've never stepped on one.

I had to watch it twice or three times because I couldn't focus due to the spider...ugh so creepy😖 I know spiders are useful animals...I just don't want them near me🙈💦

My dream was to go to australia but you ruined it..... no hate just saying lol

GODDAMMIT NO MORE "but more about that another time...." NO MORE GOOD SIR I NEED MORE I AM NOT SIMPLE I WANT TO KNOW

Cancer.gov The US own official cancer site,says THC has been proven in multiple lab studies to kill and prevent caner cells....food for thought =)

"That's just the nature of science." I don't think you really understand what science is.

Oh hell na

Ok so I've watched ALL your videos now and the top thing I always wonder is: why do you touch them with your bare hands? Seriously? A finger against the spider's fangs??? I've since learnt from the comments that the stonefish is docile and you only have to keep away from the spikes in the back, and gloves are no good when you handle big box jellyfish (and if you are a professional obviously). But in my world, the best tool would probably be flamethrower, so I'm thinking it might be interesting for more people than me to hear a bit more about f.ex. how aggressive they are, and why it it safe (again, for a professional) to handle them in the way you do. Other than that I can only say I LOVE your work, have obviously subscribed and I think more people will follow. I've understood you're trying to find out what length of videos is best and I agree with those who feel this is on the shorter side, but I would watch no matter what length! Keep up the good work!

Try to go to sleep now

spodermen vs cencer?

Spider??? with 10 Leg? vertical fang? hehehhehhehe This what we call TARANTULA. Google please what the different between spider and TARANTULA. So funny when someone so call scientists make a silly mistake!!!

Then make it get off it's lazy spider ass and do it.

Wait..if this is the cure...why the fuck are ppl still raising money to figure out a cure for breast cancer -_-

1:38 WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU SHOW THIS IT IS NOT IMMEDIATELY APPARENT THAT THAT IS NOT A REAL FINGER GOOD GRAPES THAT IS HORRIBLE

then prove it n cure it

I don't believe so, do not tell fairy tales
