    For me Jeremy Wade is one of the GOATs when it comes to wild animal content. Right up there with some of my other favs like Steve Irwin, Jeff Corwin, and more recently Coyote Peterson.
    His excitement and love for nature is not only obvious but also contagious.

      If I may spread some of my knowledge here, these big boys are a good example of insular gigantism. Along the millenials, a species evolving in an environment with lots of food and no natural predators will keep becoming bigger and bigger. This specific species of crayfish just did that. They're isolated in Tasmania, so basically their ecological niche is very unlikely to be threatened by another animal, which means they aren't in competition with anybody for food.
      The opposite happens when several species are belonging to the same ecological niche, they tend to become smaller because of the lack of food and/or the presence of predators.

    Jeremy Wade is a full blown Marine Biologist and you can witness this every time he catches a giant fish…..Jeremy puts back the creature very gently afraid of hurting it.

    • @MS-ht9it

      You can be both gentle and destructive.... fish still die or stop reproducing after being "released". It's incredibly traumatizing for fish to be pulled out of water.

    My grandpa helped install a spring house along a creek on his farm. When they removed some large debris, he found a crawfish that was roughly 1 foot long. He said it was practically a lobster. Most crawfish in Indiana creeks are only several inches long. I've yet to find one that big, but after walking along the creek after a flood, I found a claw that had to have been from a large crawfish.

      I really don't think that is accurate. Just looking at the articulation of the crayfish's claws it doesn't seem to be capable of amputating a finger. The claws are meant for grasping not for shearing. Plus it takes well over 7000 psi to sever a finger.
      All that being said. I'm not gonna do it.

During a break, the American paddler waded in the shallows and something small next to a rock caught his attention so he bent over and extended his hand into the water. On camera he said at that moment he remembered the rule "everything in Australia is ready to kill you" so he left it alone, what ever it was. Funniest part of the film.

      These are Tasmanian giant freshwater crayfish from Australia. They are a highly threatened and vulnerable species that are among some of the most protected crustacean species in the world. We also have a number of blue freshwater crustaceans in Australia, particularly over on our Western Coast it's rare but we can encounter cobalt blue marron (part of what is named the 'Cherax' species), similar to the Tasmanian freshwater crayfish but significantly smaller.

    You're never too old to get a kick out of some things. Candy. Fireworks. Catching crawdads in a stream.

      Well here in central Texas my brother caught one that was a pound... Most people won't believe us unless they saw it. It looked like the first one he caught. But that last one was huge. You win this round Australia.

      If them boys in Texas/Louisiana let them live 20 years they’d probably be that big, but than there would be no crawfish boils.😒

    Putting them and the location on blast is a odd way to protect them ...
