By an amazing coincidence (or clever editing), the time when Emma mentions that it took 13 minutes for a poor victim to die is at 13 minutes. The two of you are wonderful and inspiring humans.
Thank you for introducing us to Emma she seems so passionate about the spiders that it would be cool to learn more about them from her. I like spiders but know nothing about them
Brilliant episode, learnt so many new things about your countries spiders….vital service and research done by you all, of course the snakes and spiders don’t want to harm us on purpose, but bites do occur, so this is so important to have a venom collection for the use in antivenin production….keep it up guys, cannot wait for my return down under, on my bucket list has to be Mount Chappell Island…..big Tigers live there…maybe one day I’ll visit if allowed..cheers from the other side of the planet.
Thanks for sharing Emma and doing what you do! You’re amazing human!
I have never seen this before this channel is starting to turn into very educational everything is explained well.
Really enjoying the videos guys. I remember as a kid years ago driving past the big dinosaur near the highway as we headed to Newcastle. I grew up dealing with funnel webs on North Head but we were aware of how to avoid them. Love seeing snakes in the wild. Looking forward to seeing your facility first hand next time we’re up that way! I’m sure people will get a far better understanding of the animals we see in the bush. Cheers
As someone who lost a big portion of my leg from a spider bite, ended up in the hospital for over 2 months, 12 surgeries, compartment syndrome, and a bone infection that has left me disabled, this episode legit made my skin crawl. I’ve always hated spiders and the ONE thing in this earth that has taken me out was just that, a dam spider. Glad I’m alive and can live somewhat of a normal life though. I walk with a cane and can’t even manage a flight of stairs without help, but it’s better than being dead.
In 1971 I was home on leave from the Army, and mum and dad were camping in a caravan at Huskingson NSW. I was setting up a camp bed in the annex of the van, when I thought I trod on a fish hook. But when I looked down this bloody big spider had its fangs in my right hand big toe. I yelled out to dad who hit it with a thong. We both knew what it was and we jumped into his car and he drove flat out to NOWRA hospital. It felt like someone had run a red hot poker down my leg. The doctor said he would watch it to see if it gets to the groin gland and if it did they would administer the medication. But I was very fit and it stopped just before the gland area. It was the Sydney Funnel Webb. Very pain.
Badass share again Bill. Thanks for the education into venom of these animals. I'm sure it can help to save lives.
Hey Emma, we can supply funnel webs if you are short of specimens. We might have new species too as we live in an unserveyed area.
Another awesome video guys so incredibly interesting thanks for everything you all do 😊
Gives new meaning to have a good/safe day at work. Great video and keep up the great work doing your part to help save lives and educating us.
Great episode 🎉💙💝 loved it!! It's amazing how small the amount is with spider's venom. Keep up the great work
Great presentation. I learned a lot. Thank you.
Love these brilliant entertaining and informative . You can't go wrong👍👍. That was a bloody big Brown Snake.
Great episode folks, good to see you can maintain the interest! I must say those funnel webs give me the heebeegeebee's though... Critters with that many legs just don't seem right! You mob have created a very compelling, informative and educational channel, and you are getting us all accustomed to natures wonders. That's a good thing. But I won't try this at home. Cheers!
The spiders are amazing. I didn't realize it took so many spiders to make 1 vial of anti venom
Your snakes are terrifying, y'all. But that spider container will give me nightmares for a month, y'all.
4:46 - trying to get you after you've gone 🤣
