remember all non humans have to deal with non humans .. humans actually have it easy compared to all wild life.. a Fking and ant in my backyard if TN has is as bigger balls am Aussie human….😂 100% ever so single vid or clip uploaded by of some Australian animal.. that animal was leagues more scared of us that us of them … if spiders had internet and phones .. they’d never film human encounters for views cause they actually be fat lore scared .. 😂 let that sink in.. we can murder everything SOOO EASY yet we act the most scared.. we’re actually delusional 😂

I do not like spiders where I can see them but I do love Dr. Ann Jones. Her cheerfulness and care helped me to actually watch the spiders in this video. Thank you!

Counterpoint: spiders are much worse when you can't see them or you look back and they're gone

When I was a kid in the 70's, my family took a trip from Wollongong to north Sydney - a two hour drive in those days. Just when we were leaving there was a report on the radio that someone had been bitten by a funnel web. It was on the radio because there was no anti-venom in those days. BY the time we pulled into our place in Sydney, a new report came on the radio that the person bitten had died. As a kid it freaked me out well and truly. A brutal death sentence the funnel web was.

Funnel webs are one of the most overrated spiders

There was a kid's show that was imported to Australia, but one episode was banned because it was about spiders, saying spider's won't hurt you and they are our friends. Apparently spiders in Australia are not our friends and they will hurt you.

take the states for example do we have spiders that can kill people ... yes does anyone ever die from 1? not often like 5 to 7 deaths a year does australia have spiders that can kill you .... they have spiders that can eat you :| does anyone ever die from one? yeah around 0 per year..... apparently hasn't been a confirmed death from a spider bite in the land down under since the late 70s i really don't get the fear of australian spiders your spiders see people and think just stay away our spiders see you and think hey i can hide in that dark crevice (gap under the counters in the kitchen) and sneak attack this big monkeys (as if a spider would know we are apes not monkeys) toe.... and some will aggressively shoot out and attack you from the darkness like the brown recluse with its flesh eating venom (necrotic venom it basically causes your flesh to die and rot away nasty things google an image of a untreated bite from a brown recluse)

@@erictaylor5462 before antivenom 5% died i don't know the number of exact deaths so 5% is all i can say actually id say it slightly differently the funnel web in australia is more venomous than the black widow or brown recluse but you are less likely to get bit by the funnel webs that don't tend to live in your child's favorite red wagon or in the arm of your lawn chair outside (i had 3 black widows living in webs they built behind my toilet in the bathroom last summer and i had thought they didn't live this far north and a common place ive seen brown recluse spiders when i lived in one of the carolinas was in the cupboard space under the sink by the cleaning supplies) making them more dangerous to humans not as in deadlier but as in more aggressive more likely to encounter one and receive a bite and for this reason i'm glad their venom isn't as effective against humans

Dr Ann is such an amazing presenter, never thought I could binge watch animals-related videos but I did, well done!

I currently have a coffee mug on my kitchen floor because an evil, terrifying cricket hopped across my foot, and I swear I almost died because in my mind it was a spider, but it was a cricket and now it’s safely covered by a coffee mug. My husband will rescue it soon.

Really? That's interesting. Maybe I'm totally uneducated, but I thought it was Antarctica. Are we doing geographical location, or recognized countries? Since Antarctica is kinda carved up by many different countries. Not trying to be confrontational, just interested in these kinds of facts. So clarification is very stimulating discussion for me. I also like reptiles, but have not yet researched reptiles in your part of the world. What kind of snakes, lizards, frogs and toads, turtles, etc. do you have there? I can imagine with the climate, reptiles might have a hard time there. Do you have some that have evolved to live there? Sounds like an interesting place to learn more about. I would love some feedback from someone who lives there.

Spiders don't bite the ground they're walking on under normal circumstances. It's relatively safe to do. I wouldn't do it myself and wouldn't advise anyone to do it though. No need to take such a risk even if it's highly unlikely to be dangerous

There are no deadly spiders ,not a single death in modern history .

My area in Texas is a desert zone that hot days and freezing nights. Our arachnids are mainly composed of Whip Scorpions (kids call them Vinegarroons due to the musty smell they put off) and Brown Tarantulas. Which both look like killers, but in real life you can play with them and move them around without killing them.

I like dr Jones. I like her accent. And I like her beautiful brain 👍🏽

I had a Sydney Funnel Web encounter when I was 13. My mum was doing some gardening and I went down barefoot to go have a chat, and then mid-sentence she cuts me off and tells me not to move. After a few seconds pass she tells me to hop over to her and go back to the house to grab a jar. Behind me just sitting in the dirt was a lovely big Sydney Funnel Web, just chilling out. We caught it and took it to the Australian Reptile Park. After that I've always worn shoes when walking around our garden lol

I personally don't believe this but I need your expertise on this Dr Jones. Thanks 😊

My brother lived in Sydney for a couple years and one night he had a funnel web spider actually chase him. Nightmare fuel!

So…. as an update, DO NOT touch this spider lol. It can bite through fingernails, gloves and soft shoes😰

Nice and accurate :) Most of the 'deadly spiders'-category videos around are not. If you fancy doing more spiders that are not Australian, maybe Phoneutria-species? Or if it needs to be Australian, but not dangerous to humans, but really impressive in many other ways, Nephila.

the idea that they're not after mammals ignores the possibility of mammals being after them; if you're small like that you need to defend as well as to hunt.

Spiders don't normally bother me unless they want to crawl on me. But opening that egg sack gave me the creeps!!!

that face when he starts to handle the spider

4:!2 This is incorrect, Felines, Canines, mice, rabbits, guineapigs are mammals and are completely unaffected by Atrax Robustus vemon.

I was sliding my hand along a railing at the beach once when I was in Sydney and I felt something I looked under the railing and there was a funnel web with aggressive stance I pulled my hand away and brushed it off and it was only a few years later I learnt what it was at the time I was only 8

Funnel-Webs are owed all respect, but personally I find the wandering spiders ( _Ctenidae_ ) of the genus _Phoneutria_ to be more intimidating.

At least these spiders don't exist all over the world. I can imagine if we all have the ability to respawn to the nearest hospital after getting bit and get wasted, then there's nothing to be afraid of these things at all, except maybe loss of some money.

Dr. Ann is my "celebrity crush" 😍 She's so smart, funny, and beautiful

I was literally saying "why?!?" along with her during that second video 😨

These videos are fantastic. No need to squirt shoes with spider spray. Just shake them outside and ideally keep them in a sealed plastic container (the shoes, not the spiders).

So glad I live in the UK.

When the spider egg opened I fell off my bed

That egg Sac makes me quiver with fear

To be fair, the 3rd spider is actually his own. He's worked with her before in other videos. Not taking away anything from what the doctor said but just wanted to add that part lol

I went to fraser island and in our cabin i was sitting down on the couch that was there and all of a sudden i had this feeling that something was behind me so i turned around and guess what was there 2 massive spiders right behind me, not only that i'm also terrified of spiders so it was not fun it wasn't as traumatising as other accessions but still a horrible experience.

Today on videos I enjoyed listening to but cannot watch because of my phobia, featuring Dr Ann Jones

Great to see you back Dr Ann, now you could have put a few funnel webs in the elevator and told us everything about them as you went up and down.

Crikey!!! you could hear its feet running on the floor as it was trying to escape😳🕷

I've never seen such a pissed off spider.

Your show is interesting and you are smart, spunky, and cute. This video reminds me of the old show "In the Wild with Harry Butler" which predates even Steve Irwin. It also reminds me of the song "Welcome to Australia, You Might Accidentally Get Killed."

I broke out in a cold sweat when he put that funnel web on his hand 😮

Spider: *tries to sleep in his hidey hole* Human: NO

Now, if memory serves, at least with the Sydney funnel webs the males (the ones with smaller bodies/abdomen) have more potent venom since they are more active and actually move around. So if you manage to find one, get a hold of a venom farmer/milker and give 'em a call - male funnel webs are really sought out for anti-venom production purposes. (well, they'll deal with a spider regardless of its gender and species, but catching a male funnel web is probs exciting for them)

Where I live in the US it's not that difficult to tell if you're looking at a venomous spider or not. That's most likely because we have so very few of them about, and even the more dangerous ones are very rare to actually come across. I'm darn sure it's a different story in Australia and such.
