the perfect woman doesn't exi-

Such a cool slow mo video of the fungi growing. Some are so pretty.

I love them both so much, surviving Cretaceous and dinosaurs to be with us today, how unique and precious a gift they are thank you so much💖💖

great presentation thanks - we are so lucky to have our platypus and echidna - let's keep it that way.

I see it i run.

❤❤❤😊

They'd rather run away? 🏃🏃‍♀

Hi, thank you very much for enthusiastically throwing a positive light on another of our amazing species. You are a terrific communicator! Please keep up the great work, maybe not just with this species, but with others too! Anyway, I have a theory that you may be able to support/debunk. Some years ago (15?) in Canungra, SE Queensland, I observed a Straw Necked Ibis (Threskiornis spinicollis) pick up a medium sized (around 8cm body length) Cane Toad (Bufo marinus), loft it into the air and swallow it whole. I was horrified and thought the poor thing was going to drop dead almost instantly, particulary because I had only the day before came across one of our semi-resident Tawny Frogmouths dead with a Cane Toad still in its mouth. But... the Ibis just kept walking and stalking more prey, seemingly unaffected. So I thought that maybe Australian White Ibis can do the same, and the seemingly obvious correlation between the increase in numbers of toads, followed by the increase in numbers of the Australian White Ibis, may be a classic predator/prey relationship?? You said that there was anecdotal(?) evidence of this species eating part of the toad, but I wonder if there's more to it, and that they can in fact eat the whole toad (perhaps even just small ones, i.e. presumably less toxic) and have thus immensely diminished the prevalence of the toads, which we now, thankfully, generally observe in this area. I'm keen to hear your thoughts if you have the time, please.

I actually feel sorry for the ibis, we displaced them and now they forage our bins for food instead of hunting crawfish like they were meant too. Then we get them in the guts by calling them trash turkeys and bin chickens. I’ve saved an ibis before, that’s when I learned a lot about them

I love the 'Australian flamingo' !! Such an informative video <3

Thank you, this is indeed the future of medicine💖

......crossed Oz off the bucket list

Bin Chicken, in Melbourne landfills they are a disgusting brown colour...

*Just when you thought the Aussie accent is not sexy... they top it with GIANT SPIDERS.*

GAAAH! NOPE.

One of these landed on my face while I was driving :(

I'd rather not

1:12 it's not the gods!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's the god (his name is kabunyan). why you people always invent things just to be called "expert".

This works, holding the massive huntsman for the entire video gets a positive message across.

Pinsan ko yan! 🤘🏼

we have a huntsman here in SC. I saw one on my front porch not too long ago, she was beautiful! ... absolutely massive O - O

climate change? deteriorating? conserving? preserve? what the %^&! *OBVIOUSLY THE PRESERVATION OF THE MUMMIES HAVE DIFFERENT STAGES OF DETERIORATION.... THEY DONT HAVE TO BE PRESTINE AND THEY DONT HAVE TO LAST FOREVER....ITS NATURAL DETERIORATION, YOU WOULDNT KNOW IF IT IS OR IF ITS NOT ANYWAY you are from another continent* ....stop bs-ting the mountain folks for a paper and some grant money .. Northern Luzon have always been a cold, damp and humid place. *_stop disturbing and stop touching the hollowed places and the dead, youre probably causing more problems by contaminating and bring in non indigenous foriegn fugus_* .... LEAVE THEM BE! ....

Call it what you like that is an 8 legged Hell no. The only spider allowed in my home is the "daddy-long-legs"

I’m not much of a spider person, but considering I have a big brown recluse infestation I might actually get this spider for my apartment as a pet I just hope my cat doesn’t try to eat it

No, no, I don’t want to

This is so incredible! I hope this amazing research is able to preserve such an amazing and ancient culture.

Who's here post 2024 ?

❤❤❤😊

❤ Awwww... ❤

I used to love spiders when I was a kid, would feed the Grass Spiders in our hedges, with some ants. Had a bad run in when I accidentally popped an egg sack that was inside a shovel handle. A few hundred spiders all over my arm and me freaking out sums up the next minute or so. Can't do it ever since. Good on you, I could never hold that thing like that...

"its real, and native to Australia!" of fucking course it is. thats the land of giant rats that will punch you out, and insects that pray on small children.

That is the most chill spider I’ve ever seen😊

yep they are awesome judeges of character 😂

2019 when we visited my husband mum's old shack place (where his mum used to live), we saw these beautiful skeleton trees. We stopped and took heaps of photos, and I always wondering their story. And few weeks ago, when we attended a local market, a local bloke (he originally from Mt Field) told us a short story that these trees are Indigenous historical trees. I found this videos last week, thank you for the information and to all involved on this nature awareness and historical documentary.

Beautiful. 🥰

Nope

Beautiful creatures.

Cobras are amazing, but so deadly.

No.

I have a pet spider in my bathroom. Her name is Wilma and she's about 9mm from leg tip to leg tip.

aren't those deadly

Beautiful spider! Seemed quite docile. Do people ever keep these as pets?

Your last name isn't Irwin. Who the hell are you?

Ah yes. Every Aussie knows how agile huntsmen spiders are & how good they are at sitting on the ceiling & pretending to be Drop Bears as they launch themselves onto their passing snack. Then giggle themselves silly as we pass out or run around screaming, while they launch themselves to safety

Is that a wild spider you’re handling!? 😮

I was looking at a hunstman yesterday and realised their faces look very similar to a pugs face 😆

Well done. This is awesome work.

❤😊
