What top 10s would you like to see in the future?

The ultimate Brologist

Our worst snakes are in Canberra

I like that he gets right into the program. Doesn't talk just to hear himself.

Don't forget the One-Eyed Trouser Snake. That little fella can cause all sorts of grief.

My dad in the 90’s accidentally got a taipan. The guy who sold it to him told him it was some sort of colubrid. My dad didn’t think it would be venomous because he didn’t think anyone would sell a venomous snake without telling the person about it. The snake was tame as a dog, he held it everyday without knowing. Was never bit, he found out it was venomous and indeed a taipan after feeding it.

Yes please make more of these I can watch you explain or teach about these animals for hours

As well as having bloody nasty venom, the Eastern Brown is aggressive AF. Responsible for 60% of bites here in Australia each year.

first clip you show of the Eastern Brown was a coastal taipan. And the second and the forth clip of the Inland Taipan is a Woma Python

Love this segment, can't wait for more to come out. I work all day and binge watch TWT and your channel to pass the time. It helps tremendously!

This was awesome forrest thank you!

Love this channel

Finally a top 10 from the most trusted source ! Keep up the good work guys.

Love your work. Love and peace from South African.

Great video Forrest. I can't help but think of Steve Irwin while watching this. He loved snakes and was so excited being around them.

I love what you do man. Keep doing what you are doing, it truly is making a difference.

Someone once mentioned to me that there is a difference between deadly snakes and dangerous snakes. That difference being how likely you are to actually be bitten by one. For example the eastern brown snake is far more dangerous to Australians because of its close proximity to humans. It also has the most confirmed bites along with its high toxicity. Unlike the inland taipan which is far more deadly but also far more reclusive. So your chances of an encounter with one is slim to none. Long story short. Forrest should do a top 10 on the most DANGEROUS snakes on the planet

I’m really surprised to see so many videos of the snakes showing the wrong ones???? The tiger snake video wasn’t a tiger snake, the Easter brown showed one video of a taipan, and the inland taipan video showed a python in one shot? Do you watch these before sending them out because someone is getting things wrong

Love everything you presented.

I live in central Australia, we call then nope ropes and danger noodles. The Mulga snake (which I think is called King Brown, mulga being common name) comes in all sorts of colours. I understood that the mulga snake in particular delivers a lot of Venom in a single bite. I'm surprised the death adder wasn't in the list. And yes Australia has lots of bitey n Stingy things. Watch out in the water, the Australian irrikange jellyfish is something you defo don't want to be stung by. There's also a comedic song called "come to Australia, where you might accidentally get killed" mentions some of the animals

That woma filling in for the inland taipan got me 😂

Pumped on this vid

Very interested in your work. And love the videos!

Brilliant episode. Cheers

I was training in the South Australian desert with the Australian Army a few years ago. And I never knew I was right smack bang in the middle of '' Inland Taipan'' territory. But they are so shy, that one has to actually go looking for these snakes to actually find them. But I remember a Huge '' Mulga Snake'' passed my feet whilst I was in the Northern Territory of Australia with the military again, and I was so shocked, i was just silent, and said nothing to no one.

I stepped on a Philippine Cobra when I was going home from school. I took a different route in a grass field with my schoolmates. Luckily, it slids on its way instead of attacking me when I stepped on it.

Great stuff, more content like this please!

My brother inlaw was bitten by a juvenile eastern brown snake earlier this year. It tagged him between his toes (he was wearing thongs/flip flops). He didn't realise he had been bitten. We realised something was wrong when he started sweating profusely, became all disoriented and lost his vision. We suspected a snake bite and called an ambulance, shortly after he went unconscious and collapsed. I located the bite location and applied the compression bandages and splinted his leg. The ambulance arrived and took him away and he survived! The paramedics said the bandages and splint saved his life.

I love your vids Forest, your a great youtuber and cool guy.

Aussie here. That picture shown when talking about tiger snakes isnt any tiger snake Ive ever seen. The colours do range from easily to barely seen stripes in dark to light shades sometimes mistaken for a brown snake. But not that black and white colouring. Theres plenty of browns and tigers where I live so Ive seen a fair few..

Right to the point, no fat or filler in this video 👌

Love how Australia has 4 of the top 5 most venomous snakes 😂

Bro, that Banded Krait segment was all over the place. Only one of the snakes was a B. Fasciatus

Some banger content getting pumped out by the Brologist

I've always been a huge fan of Forest Galante

Hi, my daughter was bitten by an eastern brown on the foot at school in Canberra Australia. Luckily she was only minutes from hospital. They put 7 lots of anti venom through her. She recovered.

“If you’re ever in Tasmania and see this snake don’t pick it up” Uhhh yeah wasn’t planning on it 😂

I was thinking the Fer-de-Lance would make an appearance on here.

Cheers!

I enjoy your teachings.

This deserves millions of views

I’m so happy I found your KZfaq channel

always fun and top 10s are always good for the algorythm i guess

I love this

Great video bro-oligist

Onya Forrest, an ultimate bro for all animals

Great video you're an amazing animal ambassador

Great video me and my daughter really enjoyed it thank you forest

Thanks for being the frat bro version of jeremy wade of river monsters. Keep making nature interesting!

This is cool

Love the way you have everything laid out for all of them. Turtles are my favorite animal for sure! Would love to have the right property to have some 😍

great

I’m so excited for your Tasmanian tiger videos

In Australia usually only 3 major dangerous snake to look out for and the 3rd changes depending were you are. But Brown Snakes and Tiger snakes are almost everywhere. North-east Aust Coast Tiapan is a concern other areas Death Adder or Red Belly Blacks and over West Aus Mulga (king brown).

Being from Australia I knew all of these snakes were top 10 but it definitely puts it into perspective considering I don’t have a problem handling any snakes we have here😂

Brilliant episode! And here in urbanised Singapore, we have the Banded Krait, Malayan Blue Coral Snake, Black Spitting Cobra and the majestic King Cobra.. Not bad a collection of nope ropes for a tightly packed cityscape, I reckon.. Cheers! 😁

We need more of these videos from the coolest Biologist!!!

Interesting video. Here in india I have encountered some venomous snakes like king cobra, common krait, saw scaled viper, russell's viper

Dope

W forrest

I feel like i got lucky and found this channel before he blows up. Just a cool feeling commenting knowing Forrest will probably read this!

Slithery slithery snakes

I figured my favorite, and arguably the most beautiful of all snakes. The great Gabon Viper? What a cool snake. At least a mention or quick pic would have been cool. You don't want to get but by one anymore than most of the snakes on your list. And I get you can only pick ten but....

Having keep all these the inlands are one of the calmest snakes going and the costals and bothrops asper being 2 of my most unpredictable snakes iv kept

one day i hope to do something similar to what you do that’s why i’m going to cpcc (college) for biology i love hearing about your stories and i love helping animals keep up the greatness

Hey I just subbed

“ a cocktail of shit you just don’t want in your system” had me

I happened to live on a property growing up that wound up having the largest amount of individual eastern brown nests in the city. We would routinely find them sunning on our porch, or in the kitchen sink. We'd have to tap the toilet bowl with a stick to check if any had coiled inside the lip. We'd store our shoes high off the ground to avoid any crawling inside them. Calling handlers became a pretty run-of-the-mill thing for us. Honestly, when we stumbled onto them in the house, they were just as startled as we were, but were more interested in retreating than in standing off. I think that speaks to what it's like to actually share space with other animals, and how our behaviour can signal safety. We did not attempt to harm the animals. We didn't leave out traps or poisons or anything of the kind. We gradually developed an understanding of where they were localised, and developed strategies for carefully moving around our home. To be honest, to a degree they were doing us a service by snatching up rodents. I think there must have been a point where we were all just so used to each other that the animals did not feel the need to become aggressive in this particular environment. All this said, it did get to the point where these snakes were present on a daily basis. My youngest sibling had just been born and my parents decided to make the tough call to get this "problem" handled. By the time the handlers had successfully cleared the property, they had found over fifty individual nests (some were old, others were currently in use). To be clear, this was not a rural property, and it wasn't a large property. This was a three bedroom house in the suburbs (before the area became gentrified).

Forest is my hero

As a child many moons ago I lived in a small camp community off a beaten path in a small town called Lightning Ridge (NSW) with my mother and her boyfriend with all of about 10 people in the area total living in a combination of abandoned caravans and camp huts made from wood, tin, plastic and fly screen. One very hot day a very large Eastern Brown Snake came slithering into our camp around our extinguished fire place area at lightning speed. I tell you this thing could tag you so fast your head would spin. We stayed indoors watching through the fly screen while this snake had pretty much taken over all of our open space while it decided it's next move. After a short while the snake had made it's way to the other end of the camp and continued on through the bush. But for that short time it held a small community hostage simply for having it's presence in the camp. The Eastern Brown has a reputation for being the most "Dangerous" snake in Australia. It has even killed a man in Australia in 2024 and they have killed many more in the past. They are super aggressive, fast, agile, confident and very unpredictble. It's a formidable creature that has had the respect of the locals for hundreds of years. The Inland Taipan has the most toxic venom but as stated in the video it is highly reclusive and it tries to avoid humans as much as possible and they are only found in a specific part of the country . The brown snake is found all over the country and for some reason are far less afraid of humans.

Eastern Brown is extremely common and often a bit grumpy.

What about the hundred pacer? Also love the top 10s

You are from Zimbabwe? I am Zimbabwean. I still live there. You are so inspirational. Thank you for doing what you do. God bless you.

Thanks for an interesting video. Well I nearly stood on the head of an Eastern Brown - we both stayed cool - I lived to tell the tale. Sat on a rock with a Death Adder coiled up in a crevice on top of Cunningham's Gap. Have had a few encounters with a feisty little snake we have round here the Richmond River Rough Scale which is almost a potent as a Tiger snake. Good old Australia always carry a torch and look at your every footfall.

I dont know how many encounters you've had with the Black Mamba but as someone who's lived and worked in the Bush in South Africa there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that its the most dangerous snake in the world. Ive seen some Mambas not only display aggression when you come into contact with them but actual pursuit type aggression where they've cornered workers in the Game Reserve where i worked. Ive handled Puff Adders, Mozambique spitting cobras ( I was even bitten by Mozambiqe spitting cobra while asleep though thankfully it was a dry bite though it was a tense 10 to 20 minutes until we realized it) Forest Cobras, Boomslangs, Twig/Vine Snakes, but i refuse to handle a Black Mamba, they scare the shit out of me. There's a saying here that if you go walking out in the bush there are only three things to really fear, a Dagga Boy (lone male buffalo), Leopard and the Black Mamba. Another saying is that if you're out in the bush and you get bitten by a Black Mamba look for a spot where you're happy to die in. Another factor that makes them so dangerous is that especially in the Kwazulu Natal area they are becoming extremely prevalent not just in rural areas occupied by people but even urban areas now so the occurrence of human to snake encounters is very high compared to the inland taipan which we know has the most potent venom though is found in such remote areas and is not necessarily such an aggressive snake, so which one out of the two is more of a threat at the end of the day

Great video. I actually thought the Eastern Brown was the number one

I like the background music

I won’t watch this but I support what he does!

I’m born and bred Tasmanian, and I’ve seen many, many snakes over my 53 years. I remember a tiger snake come into our kitchen and curl up in front of our combustion stove when I was 4-5 years old. Tiger snakes are common here but not aggressive if they don’t feel threatened. They’re also commonly all black with no stripes.

I came in somewhat close contact with a Black Mamba when I was deployed to Africa in 2020. It definitely got my attention and I can attest to them being extremely fast!

I love when Daddy post

When I was a little kid growing up in Tasmania I was walking with relatives down an apple orchid, suddenly heard a shout and ran towards the relative that made the cry to only come to a massive long tiger snake that had wrapped around a post, it quickly unraveled and rapidly approached us (big group of around 10 people) to attack, my relative's little dog jumped in the way and defended us so bravely but unfortunately the snake attacked the dog and bit it so many times, at least 5. The dog died 10 minutes later, as the owners were racing to the nearby vet. Such a scary, sad day.

A top ten from the crew would be great, maybe the top ten times Forrest seemed unmoved or even oblivious in situations that scared the F**k out of them.

5:26 "IM sure you thought it was #1." Australians: LOL

Great video. I love snakes and glad I won’t be next to any of those in the video. How about the most poisonous frogs. There are so many species of frog and some of them are quite beautiful. Blessings ❤️🌺

Australians: it's not that bad mate. Also australia: tiger snakes, brown snakes, mambas, taipans.

Nicely done vid guys, some of these so-called "top 10s" can be a bit hit and miss, and that's being polite. You are probably aware of this, but if not here's something for you. The toxicology report on the 2006 discovered Western Desert Taipan, also known as the Central Ranges Taipan, was released fairly recently. The report showed the toxicity of this species was greater than that of the Coastal Taipan, making it now the world's third most venomous snake. This species is found in one of the most remote parts of the country and was only discovered 17 years ago, though I'm sure the indigenous people would've been aware of it. I hope you find this interesting.

dude the way that he said *can kill 100 people* that references from back to the outback at 8:09

Can you do a a Pet Tour in your house Forrest?

My cousins all proffessional huntrrs in Zimbabwe. You remind me of them heaps and are a awesome podcaster .

Not sure been commented or not but danger of Eastern Brown is that its everywhere in suburbs esp lower east coast (SE Qld). Had a 1.5m in backyard last week.

I went running without my phone in Dallas TX and jumped over this thing that popped out of the grass. When I turned around, it was a juvenile timber rattlesnake

As an Australian, not many things scare me but Taipans.... Yeah nah I'm gone 😂

Being from Queensland, 3 of the top 5 in my own backyard, with another species of tiger snake also native around here. We learn to live with them.

I live in the suburbs in south eastern queensland. We had 7 brown snakes in 9 years. Seen many more out and about in the bush, biggest went 2 metres.

I’m curious if you’ve ever had an encounter with a boomslang? their venom has always intrigued me, bleeding from every hole in your body doesn’t sound to enjoyable lol

Yeah baby! Straya for the win

Eastern brown snakes are more aggressive than other snakes in my area of SE Qld and Nth NSW like the Red Belly Black snake. In my experience if you find one in warm weather and it is cornered they will be aggressive. I spent some time living on the coast and they were very common around sugarcane fields, probably because of the rats and mice. Most of the time if you ignore them they wont come after you. Last one I came across in my backyard was only a baby and fairly docile. I picked up a rock it was hiding under but it was cool weather so it was not too active. The only thing I had on hand was a Woolies paper bag and was able to encourage it into that bag and relocate it to some nearby bushland. The kids loved it but not so much my wife, she didn't want to know about it, only that it was now gone.

Got bit by a brown snake when I was like 15, was in hospital for 2 weeks, they're extremely territorial

as an aussie, it was safe to say, i knew that the top 3 would be from australia. we got eastern browns living in our back yard
