  • On this adventure Mark is in Western Australia for the first time tracking down a living spike ball and one of Australia’s most endangered species.
    First, he shows you why it’s not a good idea to hold Australia’s spikiest creature, as he's spiked by the Echidna! Covered from head to tail with thick spines this animal’s self-defense gives Mark a hand full of pain trying to present its other interesting features.
    Then he sets off to find one of the last living relatives of the extinct Tasmanian Tiger, the Numbat. Will he find one? Watch and find out!
    Do you have any endangered species that live by you? If so, tell us about them in the comments and what you would do to save them from going extinct. Who knows, depending on your idea we might come out to film an adventure with you!

    The numbat is the state emblem of Western Australia. They used to inhabit half the state, as well as most of South Australia. Dryandra is pretty much their last refuge. Most West Aussies will never see their own state emblem outside of a zoo. Far too many other native species have suffered the same losses.

    Love these videos, and I’m not hating at all, but just curious. Do y’all think the process where they “find” these animals in the wild are genuine or set up?

    Knuckles and Tails switched color by mistake. Clearly Knucles should be yellow and Tails should be red. :p

    I love that youre showing off Australia.. Its pretty sad that the Tasmanian Tiger is extinct and the Numbat is so rare. I wish spider species were endangered really instead.
