Unreal. First Coyote and now Mark is enduring the gargantuan pain. Props to both of you for the extensive knowledge you've given to us through the years 💖
@@td1068ok cool you've seen it on the discovery channel already, but this is honestly better and more intriguing than the way discovery channel goes down with information. If you wanna get all fussy and say they're just doing it for the money, they aren't just doing it for the money. They're also still teaching kids and other audiences about creatures nobody knows about, so if they were doing it for JUST the money, they wouldn't go this far for all these years
Some ppl just insane man that's why he said that, this world is like oblivion where there are random ppl doing random stuff like an NPC in that game lmao 😂
It makes sense that it's venom and not just pain from an abrasion. It does seem that there are a LOT of quills that are released on contact, but even so they aren't necessarily big. They could be annoying on their own, but the fact that the warnings included cardiac issues, local paralysis, etc...you don't get those sort of symptoms from rug burns or paper cuts. It definitely seemed like venom and the fact that it actually moved around the 'zone' is quite terrifying. You couldn't pay me enough money to do something like that, but I applaud you because it is EXTREMELY fascinating and educational. I never even heard of a fireworm before today, but now it's on a list of things I plan on avoiding haha.
Made me think of a certain plant we had in the garden when I was young. They sold it to us as a "cactus" and to just not touch the hairlike spines because they were painful but not poisonous. I don't remember what the plant winded up being called but yeah, they were wrong. My friend chased me around the yard with it one day as a joke but it wound up touching me and twenty-minutes later we were at the hospital and I could hardly breathe, much less care about the pain. Looking at those little spines the worm left made that all come rushing back.
This video was totally crazy Mark! I cant believe you were so brave to take all that pain from the fire worm. I learned so much about it and it looks super painful. This was amazing research and thank you for another awesome video! 🥰💕
@@legiondeadsec2672 it could be exaggerated sure... but a comment I read (forgot by who) said that he overexaggerated the stings for 1 entertainment 2 to stop little kids from trying it, since they could get killed from it
I love how he always says “oh yeah he got me” or he’ll be like “ohhh he got me good” as if he didn’t hold whatever bug/insect/animal there like it maybe happened on its own 😂
So crazy how something so small can inflict so much pain. Major props for making this video! Honestly have never heard of a fire worm. Have a great respect for them now
It'll be interesting to see the stings microscopically to understand if they have venom injection parts or they're laced with venom or try to isolate a single stinger thing and see if it hurts. Nature bewilders us in more ways than one ! And mark has courage of a lion to do that to himself twice !
I have massive respect for the research, the teaching of people and the demonstrating you guys do. Especially when the demonstrating is something like this 😳 Also, it looks so much like a caterpillar 😅
And as one should learn as a kid.. Caterpillars with "fur" on them shouldn´t be touched usually. Didn´t interrupt my brother from interacting with a Fireworm tho. ^^ t´was a funny week.
I once got stung by this while clearing out the sand in my reef aquarium. It was so painful. I dipped my fingers in vinegar for may 20 mins to get those quills dissolved. Had the swelling for 2 weeks.
@@akhilenniumthe chance of you having other bizarre pets is high based on your comment... So do you have any other wormy like creatures in your aquarium?
@@angrydoogocushiscookiegote5486haha no.. I just have freshwater and saltwater aquariums. I suspect this worm came as a larva in a coral frag and grew this large eventually and stung me.
@@akhilennium LMFAOO okay thank you for this clarification because I really thought you CHOSE to own one of these and I was so confused as to how you would even go about that 😂
U Ok Mark? Definitely don’t use this worm as fishing bait… I got to learn about a creature I’ve never heard of before. Fantastic as always guys! Keep being brave & staying wild!
These are very common in The reef tank hobby, they come out in hoards at night. But they are good for the eco system, eating excess detritus and waste. But if they have enough food/room they will breed with no end.
In my experience from handling live rock in reef aquariums, it worked a little better to delicately remove what you can with tweezers, and then follow with the tape to remove the rest. Going full on with the tape first can remove the bristles en masse, but will also break off, and more deeply imbed, a good many that could otherwise have been removed by careful tweezing.
Having a saltwater reef tank, I have a few of those around, and definally when moving rocks or cleaning, they aren't at all fun to run into. When coming in contact, I always use the vinegar option. Always helps
Why y’all hating on bristle worms? They may look gross, but they do a great job cleaning the tank of smaller detritus/dying material. And they only come out at night or very low light situations. I’d take bristle worms/fire worms over red planarian flat worms any day….
The adhesive treatment also works fairly well on the gympie-gympie plant...an Australian plant with a sting that makes the fireworm feel like a gentle kiss.
My daughter and I love watching this show and learning so many great things about animals. Creatures we normally wouldn't think about like this one we talk about now.
I can confirm fish eat them. I caught a red grouper in the Florida Keys, not long ago. And it spit up a fire worm at the boat. We then cut it up into pieces and caught a few keeper yellow tail snapper!

Fun fact that I learned while cataloguing the bristle worms here in Australia - they have the same venom protein that is found in the spurs of the platypus
Mark: Gets his etire layer of skin on his arm ripped off by a barracuda Coyote: Your arm looks like a zombies perfect start to a good meal. Camera man: Describe the pain. Mark: Unless a entire arm ripped off sounds pleasing to you then this hurts😬😬
Okay, so first of all the opening montage was beautifully cinematic. 😍 I do love me some next level photography. Secondly, as an Aussie, I'm gonna have to say a huge "nooooooooope, absolutely not". I can handle many dangerous ceeatures, I've had many jellyfish stings that landed me in hospital (never an irikanji, as I lived in the south of the mainland before moving to the US last year) but these bad boys are not something I ever want to meet. Thirdly, I was so pleased to see you with hot water to help deactivate the nettles. Any stinging nettles that get stuck in the skin (eg the bluebottle jellyfish sting) can be temporarily soothed with vinegar but the only way to deactivate the nettles is not water - ideally 70°C/158°F which hurts for a moment but the relief is almost instant and the effects start to ease off - but you'll still have an uncomfortable couple of days. I just wanted to include that because it can save people a hospital trip because sometimes reactions can cause anaphylaxis or delirium/disorientation. Nobody in the US would want to go to hospital for a reaction to stinging nettles from the creature world, only to be treated with hot water, and pay a lot of money for it. (Hot water at a similar temperature also works on nettles from the plant world too) If it's possible to immerse the area rather than using a cloth, that works best, but it you're affection on an upper limb area, buttock, back, neck, or face; place a lightweight cloth on the affected area and every few seconds pour more hot water over the area for 30 minutes. I hope you don't mind me adding the Aussie biol info to remedy nettles. And now I have to ask... You okay, Mark? 🤣 It's always a treat when you're in front of the camera..... Even if you're inflicting pain on yourself to use as an education tool for the Brave Wilderness audience. From one biologist to another, you have some major cajones, and my utmost respect.
That is a beautiful beach! I've never seen a fireworm before. That sting looked really painful. I'm sorry that you were in pain all night long. You always give good advice.
This some how reminds me of my childhood days. Being brought up in a village and a huge forest enclosure, roaming around in the forest is our daily routine and were stung by different kinds of catterpillar, ants, bees, leech and many more. It reminds me of the pain we feel..😀
I love your program. You are splendid guys. Every episode is so exceptional . I wish you all luck in the future episodes you guys are so durable and can put up with even more venomous living creatures.
Coyote: "I'm done. No more stings for me, the Executioner was the last for me." Mark: "But Coyote, our fans want sting videos, what will we do now?" Coyote: *evil grin, stares at Mark* Mark: "...... " "I had this coming, huh?" Coyote: 😏
Mark needs to be stung by executioner wasp, bullet ant, velvet ant, tarantula hawk, Japanese giant hornet, yellow jacket, killer bee, warrior wasp, fire ants and honey bees.
I can remember I was on holiday in Greece and I saw one of these while swimming in the sea. Then I had the bright idea of picking it up… Yeah that was a painful few hours.
I've been unfortunate enough to experience this one myself several times, since my aquarium had quite a lot of several different species of bristleworm living in it and sometimes I wasn't careful enough while performing maintenance. After the first time, where I kept working before trying to treat it which resulting in a painful rash lasting about a week, I learned that the tape/vinegar/hot compress treatment applied immediately would dramatically lessen the discomfort and duration.
Why in the world would you keep these little terrors in your aquarium? I mean I know people keep all sorts of dangerous, exotic pets but having these things in a busy aquarium you have to clean regularly seems like a recipe for getting stung by accident.
They come in on the corals and live rock, and while I would remove any I could see and had traps to cull their numbers somewhat, they reproduce rapidly and are basically impossible to not have in a tropical marine aquarium if you have any wild collected material or material from sources that are not completely free of them.
My uncle has been stung multiple times. First time I was there visiting him, we were looking at the reefs and stuff like that and he got stung. He handled it like it was just a little bite but he's been stung multiple times. He's always said the centipedes that they deal with are worse. They love to hide in your shoes, the drain in your showers, they will crawl up the sheets on the ground up into your bed etc. It's so funny how things affect people differently and how something can be extremely bad to some, and like nothing to others and vise versa
The fact that I saw one of those and attempted to touch it and swapped it off of a rock and ended without a single spine is amazing, I didn’t know what it was and when I found out I was like 😶 “ I almost made a huge mistake”
i think this was super informative and its super awesome to see you getting into the sting zone, always loved your guys videos cant wait for more! Keep it up guys!
i absolutely love your videos! they are so educational and my anxiety level goes super high! you are super brave and truly amazing! thank you so much for all you do.
Never thought, I'd finally see the day when you would finally try to get stung yourself for science! I'm impressed mark! I look forward to what you might try to do next
Used to watch Brave Wolderness every day after school. I havent gotten any videos on my recommendation feed in so long, but now that I have the videos dont stop showing up. I love them.
Lol now Mark is really understanding the pain of coyote Peterson when he gets stung If Coyote Peterson was there: describe the pain Btw You guys are so brave. I don’t know how to endure the pain but I think you guys have a high pain tolerance
Intentional pain is easier to overcome in my experience. Kinda like driving; the driver tends to experience acceleration and braking differently from passengers because they aren't controlling those factors. At work, if I hurt myself, it takes me a few minutes to focus and keep working. But if it's something I do intentionally that causes bodily damage as an outcome, and I know that outcome is possible and do it anyway, that tends to hurt me less or take me less time to get over.
@@watchguy7986 no it’s not, it’s like having a company do you even know what it take to run a RUclips channel ? Specially that big? Even if they don’t do everything them self it’s still a job. If you think it’s easier then do it and go get the 20M followers then. I’m sure 90% people would get old before even doing it
@@watchguy7986 do you know how hard it is to run a channel that has 20m subscribers? A lot a lot harder then it looks . They just don’t show you the behind the scenes. Only thing not behind the scenes is the travelling. I marine how much it costs to travel around the world?
Hi Mark, thanks for sharing this video today! I hope your arms feel better soon. Before watching, I didn't know fireworms existed! Thinking about it, they kind of remind me of those furry caterpillars, but an aquatic, much more excruciating version. 🤔
Also, do you think Fireworms possess urticating hairs, or is the white on it more like spines since the sting hurt alot? I hope this question was not confusing as I couldn't think of a better way to word it.
I don't understand the delayed reaction. Mark says it takes a minute before the pain registers. If the goal of venom is to prevent the fireworm from being eaten, then the pain reaction should be instantaneous, otherwise the fireworm would have been swallowed before the predator feels the pain.
Love u guys been subscribed for a long time I love animals and science and learning new things about different species I never knew about keep posting for us we need this channel going on forever I wanna be watching this when I’m 70 years old with my grandkids 😂
I saw A LOT of them along the shore washed up after a storm, good thing my friend stopped me because I was going to go into the water to cath some of them bare handed and bare footed.
As someone who deals with these animals on a daily basis, the tape method isn't really the best method at removing the spines. If anything, it actually makes it worse, as you press down on it, you can snap and push the spines deeper into the skin. Those spines become almost impossible to remove and the pain, irritation, and itching can last for weeks which in some cases, ends up causing even more damage. The best method would be to use either glue, or cyanoacrylate (superglue). Applying to the affected areas, letting it dry, and slowly peeling it off. This will allow an almost complete removal and immediate relief from the irritant.
@@WillWork4Subs Wax works amazingly too, only when your hands are dry, which it normally isn't if you're ever stung by these. In our field, when handling corals and live rock that might be infested with these animals, we generally have cyanoacrylate available. It's always ready to use, immediately starts drying when it comes in contact with water, no additional harmful chemical additives that might contaminate the water, and no need for a fire/heat source.
Mark, you and Coyote, as long as you two have been doing these Sting Operations It's amazing you two haven't had any amputations. I think of the Brave Wilderness Channel as training
Man I never thought mark would get here lol, coyote gets to take care of mark now, when he’s not to busy that is! Where is that guy at anymore eh? Great video mark I’m liking what you are putting out
As someone who's been stung by a fireworm, definitely act as quickly as possible with these venom neutralizing tips. The less time the spines are in your skin, the better. If treated quickly, is becomes more of a very annoying itch, similar to fiberglass. The longer they have to sit in the skin, the worse its going to be.
Cool. Next week try holding a Blue glaucus slug. I always like looking up what the venoms are made of. Fireworms actually have a small amout of spider like venom. The spines reminded me of Tarantula hairs, which are also made of chitin. I hope you carry an epipen with you!

I did not know platypus have venomous spurs
@@vknight7497 The males do
Mark: Gets his etire layer of skin on his arm ripped off by a barracuda
Coyote: Your arm looks like a zombies perfect start to a good meal.
Camera man: Describe the pain.
Mark: Unless a entire arm ripped off sounds pleasing to you then this hurts😬😬
I miss Coyote doing these. But Mark, kudos to you, you were so brave.
Okay, so first of all the opening montage was beautifully cinematic. 😍 I do love me some next level photography.
Secondly, as an Aussie, I'm gonna have to say a huge "nooooooooope, absolutely not". I can handle many dangerous ceeatures, I've had many jellyfish stings that landed me in hospital (never an irikanji, as I lived in the south of the mainland before moving to the US last year) but these bad boys are not something I ever want to meet.
Thirdly, I was so pleased to see you with hot water to help deactivate the nettles. Any stinging nettles that get stuck in the skin (eg the bluebottle jellyfish sting) can be temporarily soothed with vinegar but the only way to deactivate the nettles is not water - ideally 70°C/158°F which hurts for a moment but the relief is almost instant and the effects start to ease off - but you'll still have an uncomfortable couple of days.
I just wanted to include that because it can save people a hospital trip because sometimes reactions can cause anaphylaxis or delirium/disorientation. Nobody in the US would want to go to hospital for a reaction to stinging nettles from the creature world, only to be treated with hot water, and pay a lot of money for it.
(Hot water at a similar temperature also works on nettles from the plant world too)
If it's possible to immerse the area rather than using a cloth, that works best, but it you're affection on an upper limb area, buttock, back, neck, or face; place a lightweight cloth on the affected area and every few seconds pour more hot water over the area for 30 minutes.
I hope you don't mind me adding the Aussie biol info to remedy nettles.
And now I have to ask... You okay, Mark? 🤣
It's always a treat when you're in front of the camera..... Even if you're inflicting pain on yourself to use as an education tool for the Brave Wilderness audience. From one biologist to another, you have some major cajones, and my utmost respect.
just the way he said it that like we want to get stung lol
That is a beautiful beach! I've never seen a fireworm before. That sting looked really painful. I'm sorry that you were in pain all night long. You always give good advice.
This some how reminds me of my childhood days. Being brought up in a village and a huge forest enclosure, roaming around in the forest is our daily routine and were stung by different kinds of catterpillar, ants, bees, leech and many more. It reminds me of the pain we feel..😀
I love your program. You are splendid guys. Every episode is so exceptional . I wish you all luck in the future episodes you guys are so durable and can put up with even more venomous living creatures.
Scientist: We don’t know if the firework is venomous or not.
Mark: I will find out!
Firework?
@@marblemadness8870 fireworm actually
Venomous fireworks would be terrifying.
I love how this channel provides awareness of new creatures I have never seen before. Nature is a fascinating thing!
When he said in Florida, I was like “hol up”
This is truly amazing mark. You have all of my respect for having the courage to be stung by that worm.
Salute mark for explaining while bearing the pain 🤯
the worm hopelessly bouncing away after he grabbed it looks so funny
Coyote: "I'm done. No more stings for me, the Executioner was the last for me."
Mark: "But Coyote, our fans want sting videos, what will we do now?"
Coyote: *evil grin, stares at Mark*
Mark: "...... "
"I had this coming, huh?"
Coyote: 😏
Mark needs to be stung by executioner wasp, bullet ant, velvet ant, tarantula hawk, Japanese giant hornet, yellow jacket, killer bee, warrior wasp, fire ants and honey bees.
@@Gaian-Commander Mark: 😐
Me:🛶
Hi
I can remember I was on holiday in Greece and I saw one of these while swimming in the sea. Then I had the bright idea of picking it up… Yeah that was a painful few hours.
good job mark, keeping this channel alive so proud of you.
I believe it's safe to say, for honest judgement,
this channel should deserve to live for a very
long time.
What happened to cayote??
I've been unfortunate enough to experience this one myself several times, since my aquarium had quite a lot of several different species of bristleworm living in it and sometimes I wasn't careful enough while performing maintenance. After the first time, where I kept working before trying to treat it which resulting in a painful rash lasting about a week, I learned that the tape/vinegar/hot compress treatment applied immediately would dramatically lessen the discomfort and duration.
Why in the world would you keep these little terrors in your aquarium? I mean I know people keep all sorts of dangerous, exotic pets but having these things in a busy aquarium you have to clean regularly seems like a recipe for getting stung by accident.
They come in on the corals and live rock, and while I would remove any I could see and had traps to cull their numbers somewhat, they reproduce rapidly and are basically impossible to not have in a tropical marine aquarium if you have any wild collected material or material from sources that are not completely free of them.
@@locke03 Ah, makes sense. I know nothing about taking care of exotic fish so I was never aware worms could hide in the coral like that. Interesting.
A bristleworm is not the same as a fireworm. Ive had both in my aquarium 😅
Mark taking over the stings? Good luck bro
Face it mark and coyote makes us happy every day that he posts and risks his life for us!
Mark is doing a great job replacing Coyote with the stings.
My uncle has been stung multiple times. First time I was there visiting him, we were looking at the reefs and stuff like that and he got stung. He handled it like it was just a little bite but he's been stung multiple times. He's always said the centipedes that they deal with are worse. They love to hide in your shoes, the drain in your showers, they will crawl up the sheets on the ground up into your bed etc. It's so funny how things affect people differently and how something can be extremely bad to some, and like nothing to others and vise versa
Where does your uncle live so I can stay far far away from there
@@asheszu 😂🤣
Poor him:(, I would wished him a happy life from living by this mess
The fact that I saw one of those and attempted to touch it and swapped it off of a rock and ended without a single spine is amazing, I didn’t know what it was and when I found out I was like 😶 “ I almost made a huge mistake”
i think this was super informative and its super awesome to see you getting into the sting zone, always loved your guys videos cant wait for more! Keep it up guys!
Those two have survived literally everything that is alive !
Genuinely useful video, thank you for the side-by-side comparison!
8:05 able to conquere fire worm ,Mark praises the sun. +80% fire resistance , +10% micro stab resistance , +10% immune system
These sting episodes with mark are very interesting! Now that coyote went through so many It is Cool watching Mark react to them!
I just saw one, it's pretty unique and makes me wanna scream, because it almost stinged me.
i absolutely love your videos! they are so educational and my anxiety level goes super high! you are super brave and truly amazing! thank you so much for all you do.
Hello sara, how're you!!
we really miss the times where coyote was the one thats in danger when mark just records him and smiling
What happened to coyote?
brave wilderness but the roles are switched
Coyote sold out to Animal Planet and now has a TV show
@@flavorman9159 he still does show up on the channel sometimes
I just got one of those bites in turkey.they are Vicious!🔥
It made me feel sick.
You can tell he isn't hamming it up because he's in so much pain he isn't even screaming he's just focusing as hard as he can
You guys are my favorite channel. You guys taught me a lot about nature
Hi
Never thought, I'd finally see the day when you would finally try to get stung yourself for science! I'm impressed mark! I look forward to what you might try to do next
Brave wilderness is basically the creature version of pain rankers
Cody looks different.. are all those bites finally catching up to him?
or the vaccine :/
this is Mark not coyote. After the Giant Desert Centipede incident Coyote has taken the backseat on bites and stings...
😂😂😂
@@leahjohnson7883 it’s supposed to be a joke…
Used to watch Brave Wolderness every day after school. I havent gotten any videos on my recommendation feed in so long, but now that I have the videos dont stop showing up. I love them.
Lol now Mark is really understanding the pain of coyote Peterson when he gets stung
If Coyote Peterson was there: describe the pain
Btw
You guys are so brave. I don’t know how to endure the pain but I think you guys have a high pain tolerance
Intentional pain is easier to overcome in my experience. Kinda like driving; the driver tends to experience acceleration and braking differently from passengers because they aren't controlling those factors. At work, if I hurt myself, it takes me a few minutes to focus and keep working. But if it's something I do intentionally that causes bodily damage as an outcome, and I know that outcome is possible and do it anyway, that tends to hurt me less or take me less time to get over.
It’s easier than working. 20 million subscribers means they don’t have to
@@watchguy7986 no it’s not, it’s like having a company do you even know what it take to run a RUclips channel ? Specially that big? Even if they don’t do everything them self it’s still a job. If you think it’s easier then do it and go get the 20M followers then. I’m sure 90% people would get old before even doing it
@@watchguy7986 do you know how hard it is to run a channel that has 20m subscribers? A lot a lot harder then it looks . They just don’t show you the behind the scenes. Only thing not behind the scenes is the travelling. I marine how much it costs to travel around the world?
This guy is crazy!!!!!!!!!!
Love watching the sting series videos! 👌
Hi Mark, thanks for sharing this video today! I hope your arms feel better soon. Before watching, I didn't know fireworms existed! Thinking about it, they kind of remind me of those furry caterpillars, but an aquatic, much more excruciating version. 🤔
Thanks for watching Allie!
Also, do you think Fireworms possess urticating hairs, or is the white on it more like spines since the sting hurt alot? I hope this question was not confusing as I couldn't think of a better way to word it.
@@BraveWilderness You're welcome! 😁
You don't need to be touched, when you'll see them you can feel goosebumping itchy.
I can't lie this is super hilarious comparing Mark and Coyote's reactions to bites and stings
Coyote when he gets stung : * goes super sayan*
Mark: Ouch it’s getting intense 😑
You can still read he's in pain.
I don't understand the delayed reaction. Mark says it takes a minute before the pain registers. If the goal of venom is to prevent the fireworm from being eaten, then the pain reaction should be instantaneous, otherwise the fireworm would have been swallowed before the predator feels the pain.
Love u guys been subscribed for a long time I love animals and science and learning new things about different species I never knew about keep posting for us we need this channel going on forever I wanna be watching this when I’m 70 years old with my grandkids 😂
I’m a freshman now. Been watching your videos since I was in 5th grade. Love your videos, keep up the good work.
5th grade huh
Well coming from a senior in high school enjoy the light difficulty while it lasts
No bad words? Kids friendly ? Awesome 👏🏻👏🏻
If you ever get bit by a fire worm, you need to also get bit by the water worm, this neutralises the pain.
Not really, your cold sensors and your hot sensors are different
So you’ll feel both at the same time
I thought you'd need the legendary ice worm
@@djspit8929 ice worms accutally do exist, their good with buffalo chips mmmmhmmmm tasty
😂
You can blow away the spines by using a wind worm.
I saw A LOT of them along the shore washed up after a storm, good thing my friend stopped me because I was going to go into the water to cath some of them bare handed and bare footed.
As someone who deals with these animals on a daily basis, the tape method isn't really the best method at removing the spines. If anything, it actually makes it worse, as you press down on it, you can snap and push the spines deeper into the skin. Those spines become almost impossible to remove and the pain, irritation, and itching can last for weeks which in some cases, ends up causing even more damage.
The best method would be to use either glue, or cyanoacrylate (superglue). Applying to the affected areas, letting it dry, and slowly peeling it off. This will allow an almost complete removal and immediate relief from the irritant.
I'd think wax would be best as it dries quicker and is easier to peel off....would you agree? I'm only making educated guess
@@WillWork4Subs Wax works amazingly too, only when your hands are dry, which it normally isn't if you're ever stung by these. In our field, when handling corals and live rock that might be infested with these animals, we generally have cyanoacrylate available. It's always ready to use, immediately starts drying when it comes in contact with water, no additional harmful chemical additives that might contaminate the water, and no need for a fire/heat source.
I really enjoy these videos great job brave wilderness crew much love ❤️😁
Mark, you and Coyote, as long as you two have been doing these Sting Operations It's amazing you two haven't had any amputations. I think of the Brave Wilderness Channel as training
Probably the most appropriate name I've ever heard given to an animal.
Man I never thought mark would get here lol, coyote gets to take care of mark now, when he’s not to busy that is! Where is that guy at anymore eh? Great video mark I’m liking what you are putting out
I always come back and see if he’s still alive and every time I’m like “How in the world this man still alive??”
As someone who's been stung by a fireworm, definitely act as quickly as possible with these venom neutralizing tips. The less time the spines are in your skin, the better.
If treated quickly, is becomes more of a very annoying itch, similar to fiberglass. The longer they have to sit in the skin, the worse its going to be.
My wife loves those
The series that'll never die but never fails to interest and educate me :3
Also I wish yall a great weekend
You were so brave to do all this stuf🤯
Cool. Next week try holding a Blue glaucus slug. I always like looking up what the venoms are made of. Fireworms actually have a small amout of spider like venom.
The spines reminded me of Tarantula hairs, which are also made of chitin. I hope you carry an epipen with you!
That's the blue sea dragon slug, isn't it? Those are beautiful.
