I adore this bloke,,,met him 15yrs ago wen he was in s.a,,,,,,he is the true blue Aussie of Australia s fauna,,,,totally down to earth,,,,better than anyone out their,,,,,Ty barefooted mate
AWESOME presentation. I have handled snakes for almost forty years and consider the elapids to be the most beautiful, majestic, and adaptive of all snakes. The medical field needs venomous snakes more than ever, and videos like yours are critical to their survival and our benefit. Thank you.
Fascinating presentation. I remember using Oxyuranus spp. venom proteases during my PhD studies, mainly for converting blood coagulation zymogens purified from human plasma into their active forms. The range of neurotoxins, myotoxins, procoagulants, cytotoxins, and nephrotoxins in their venom cocktail is truly scary.
2:52 Loved this video, but WHY did they cut the footage away from this!?? I really wanted to see how tf he was going to get out of that situation. That Taipan was dripping venom and looked _enraged._ How did he put it back down without the snake instantly whipping back around and biting him?
The Taipan's venom is more deadly to mammals, since that's its main prey. Mambas have a more varied diet, including other snakes. So their venom is more generalised and less specific to mammals. But it's debatable whether one is deadlier than the other. There are many factors which make a snake deadly, not just venom potency. Saw scaled vipers and Puff Adders kill far more people than either of these snakes.
@@goldencalf5144saw scaled vipers and puff adders victims are due to having larger ranges, saw scaled vipers for instance have the largest range of any land venomous snake, black mamba is the most potentially dangerous due to its fast active venom, venom toxicity isn't the main categorisation it's how fast the venom works, BMs are the fastest snake and only two venomous snakes are long enough to bite near the heart, also BMs are the fastest of snakes and highly aggressive when stressed
@StrikingAlexa Coastal Taipan PNG Taipan Oxyuranus scutellatus canni kill more people in Papua New Guinea where people don't have access to antivenin or any other medical treatment in many regions of their country than the Black Mamba Dendroaspis polyepis in Africa.
Cheers so much, great show, music a bit loud though, but yeah realise it's old editing technology lol 😂 My mum's from Gordonvale ( Cane toad's hometown lol ) all all her brother's were all cane cutters and I always tell tourist eastern taipan's the fastest 😊❤
You had me in the first 5 minutes mate Catching that big male ! Shovin ya hands in that rat near Nest Well done The content is fantastic You mention there are only 2 species of taipan ? Ill watch ya pick them up You got big balls mate I thought tigers were big
So well educated on things like evolution. Brilliant to watch him. Still don’t understand and will never why he goes bare feet in a country with such deadly snakes. Boots should be able to protect him at least a little….?
Mate it's normal not to wear shoes growing up in the 80s we didn't have to wear shoes if you didn't want to till you started highschool in grade 8 lots of us didn't 😊
i shouldnt be watching this at near 4am. Streuth! Gunna have bloody nightmares! Did you see the size of that first one! Fairdinkum, if one moved in here, i'd move out!
I'm not being pedantic in stating I am sincerely surprised the narrator is calling these snakes ‘poisonous'. Naturally some snakes are certainly venomous but not poisonous, that category applies to animals like some frog species etc, where the toxins are transferred by touch, any animal that injects its toxin either through a bite, fangs, some type of spur or barb such as a bee or male platypus, even directly ‘spitting' its toxin as with some species of cobra and other snakes are all venomous. Collectively the venomous and poisonous animals are toxic while their subcategories imply very different intoxicating modalities. I’ve seen a Coastal Taipan on a couple of occasions when I lived up in Cairns, Far North Queensland, several years ago, they were nothing like the tremendous size of that venom dripping creature though thank goodness, initially I thought it was a length of vegetation like a stick or similar, until it moved followed by the colour draining out of me - they freak me out. Fortunately in NSW we don’t see snakes in the inner city areas like CBD, Eastern Suburbs or lower North Shore, but heading out of Sydney into rural areas I’ve seen the odd Red-Bellied Black Snake, they sure can grow to quite impressive lengths.
@@CitizenErased11 Very, very little of the wildlife here tries to kill people. You have salties up North, but no snake in this country sees human beings as food.
Actually the black mamba just has the scariest name. The saw-scaled viper is the most deadly, being responsible for more deaths than all other snakes combined. The inland taipan has the most powerful venom, followed by the eastern brown (which is responsible for the most fatal bites in Australia and is a singularly nasty piece of work), then the coastal taipan, then the banded krait, then the black mamba. Nonetheless, they’re all best avoided.
'Most deadly' is too subjective. Most venomous, largest venom yield, most likely to encounter and/or bite humans and highest death toll are more specific. The mambas have a fearsome reputation but aren't in the top few on those categories.
@@libertyordeaf quite right; hence deadliest, i.e. kills the most, is the saw-scaled viper, which doesn’t even rate in the top ten on the most venomous scale. It’s encountered more often, amongst people without easy access to antivenin, it’s venom is nasty, but way less nasty than others, it’s more aggressive when defending than other snakes, etc etc
Really interesting and informative video. However to call it the most dangerous snake in the world is misleading. Russell’s vipers and saw scaled vipers kill tens of thousands of people every year in the Indian sub-continent yet the coastal taipans, impressive and intimidating snakes though they certainly are, kill very, very few people by comparison. I guess it depends on how you define dangerous.
How about the population difference Einstein. A Taipan can get you before you even see it with the massive strike distance, dumps massive amounts of venom and the venom is very strong.
@@alex754411 I love it when people resort to sarcasm and ad hominem insults because you know they’ve already lost the argument. By the way, no snake, taipans or otherwise are, as you state, “out to get you”.
Yes they good rat catchers but Gee, walking around there in shorts and no shoes it's only a matter of time before you get bitten. I certainly wouldn't do it. What did you do with the Taipan in the beginning of the video ?
Earth only 6,000 years old? C'mon get real it's way older than that. The Bible has many false teachings. Also there was no Adam and Eve. Man developed from monkeys. We are advanced monkeys really.
Evolution is a theory. The honest thing to do is to state it as such at the begining of your shpeil about all the snakes evolving from one and other nonsense.

Great to see Robs channel active again. Rob is a legend and I wish him good health
Yes indeed
I absolutely love this ! Thanks for this as there aren't many documentary's about the coastal taipans. Great job !
Thank you for posting this video!
That first taipan was one angry snake. Beautiful, but terrifying.
Yes it was angry. Did not like to be man handled. I wouldn't either if I were a snake.
That's scary handling a Taipan But he knows what he's doing👌
I love this guy since 25 years

Personally, I'm petrified of any snake.
Respect! I just started working with rattlesnakes via relocation and removal. Elapids are much more challenging as i understand
@@sauronthegreat489 i don't understand the ɓreed at all . I do know their dangerous
and yet medical labs refuse to buy venom from any snake milkers except one. there is a monopoly on snake milking.
@@sauronthegreat489
In what ways?
That coastal was a unit.
Glad i found this channel.Use to watch him on television in Canada.
My favourite snake and this one was awesome.
Sweet vid those inland taipans are so beautiful
Beautiful and Dangerous I don't wanna get bitten by them
Oh my, what stunning content!
I truly hope there will be more in the future
good man, just the opposite to Irwin the MOUTH
Glad someone else thinks the same of Steve Its All About Me not nature...
Yep Crikey it bit me irwin
wonderful and informative
Got my name for it, one of my most favourite legendary snakes. 😍🐍
My second favorite venomous snake… after the black mamba.
Biggest taipan I’ve seen. So cool.
Fuck that's an intimidating snake
Just discovered your chanel. Wish you all the best
wow fascinating video about Taipans
excellent vid. EXCELLENT VOICE FOR NARRATING.. MORE PLEASE SIR !
Your a stud bro. Great stuff.
Stay safe.... be full of care..😅

The most venomous snake is the one that just bit you. It only has to kill you once.

saw scale vipers live in heavily populated areas. People living on top on them, that is why they kill more people@@goldencalf5144
Good grief, that's the most intimidating snake I've ever seen
@7:00 How quick was the strike and release to avoid injury. That was lightning fast.
Mate, very interesting 3 part series. Loved it.
Who plays the didgeridoo in your vids here?
Had to subscribe. Look forward to more vids soon
Cheers so much, great show, music a bit loud though, but yeah realise it's old editing technology lol 😂
My mum's from Gordonvale ( Cane toad's hometown lol ) all all her brother's were all cane cutters and I always tell tourist eastern taipan's the fastest 😊❤
You had me in the first 5 minutes mate
Catching that big male !
Shovin ya hands in that rat near
Nest
Well done
The content is fantastic
You mention there are only 2 species of taipan ?
Ill watch ya pick them up
You got big balls mate
I thought tigers were big
Good info, cheers Sharky Cardwell nth Qld 😁
This is the 4th most venomous snake now the Western Desert Taipan has been categorised and tested.
Very true. Their newly discovered much smaller cousin.
So well educated on things like evolution. Brilliant to watch him. Still don’t understand and will never why he goes bare feet in a country with such deadly snakes. Boots should be able to protect him at least a little….?
Some people are show offs unfortunately. He may get tagged soon if keep walking out there in shorts and no shoes.
Mate it's normal not to wear shoes growing up in the 80s we didn't have to wear shoes if you didn't want to till you started highschool in grade 8 lots of us didn't 😊
Awww yea he nearly lost his hand from one of his big crocs not long ago but his much older now from when these vids were recorded 😊
Ripper video!!!
Love you're vids but i am bloody happy i live in a country that doesn't have snakes
Beautiful reptiles.
I would rather try to dodge traffic on the motorway than handle one of those.
RAM CHANDRA WOULD BE HAPPY
Yea that was my childhood
Such a smart man...🤣
Smart till he gets bitten.
i shouldnt be watching this at near 4am.
Streuth! Gunna have bloody nightmares!
Did you see the size of that first one!
Fairdinkum, if one moved in here, i'd move out!
Awesome 👍 music means great things, just a Aussie legend👍
Does Rob still have relatives in Renmark SA
Why do snakes (and raptors) always look angry?
I got attacked big time by a tiger snake in Western Australia , dang they are fast to 🥺
that was mean lookin taipan
I prefer Inland Taipans
In what way? to eat? have as a pet? a guard snake?
To rub his nuts on lmao
Why would you put that rat back

Rob is brilliant as always. the voiceover is the same boring type. The snakes are venomous, not poisonous. and that BS about Gondwanalaland. Nonsense
You can literally see that Papa New Guinea was connected to Australia….
This and the black mamba are most deadly

Yes the black mumba is the most feared snake in Africa. Extremely quick on a hot day.

Taipans in Australia don’t kill many, but they’re a lot more of an issue in PNG where they’re also found. More manual farming and less footwear.
