If you don't get sweaty palms after watching that, you're a bloody liar.

 

Yo, them shits was sweaty, son. It was the little boy and then that chick at the end!

NSFTW - NOT SUITABLE FOR THIS WORLD.

 

Holy shit. There is no amount of money that could convince me to try some of that insanity.

 

You can't learn to do what that chick did with her teeth. You need to be born with a helluva jaw.

 

1962 video clip.

The things women steal from men. 1960s Gender and sexism at its best!

 

Fuckin' honey badgers, man. They cray-cray.

 

Are you kidding me? Stoffels and his lady friend are epic. So much respect Stoffels, fight the power!

 

Why keep him imprisoned if he so dead set against though?

 

Honeybadgers be dangerous. They cut you. They cut you bad.
They cut you so bad, you wish they weren't cutting you so bad.

(plus they can't release them into the wilderness so far out of their natural habitat.)

 

This has rekindled my interest for animal documentaries and Honey badgers are interesting. What other interesting wild life that not alot of people know about are there?

 

The Mantis Shrimp, ofc. http://theoatmeal.com/comics/mantis_shrimp

I'd best include a video: http://video.nationalgeographic.com/video/worlds-deadliest-ngs/deadliest-mantis-shrimp

 

This is one baby (toddler) video the kid'll keep for his entire life! It'd be pretty cool to have a father that was an animator!

 

Look up the Sea Wasp and be prepared to fear something like you've never feared something without a central nervous system before.

 

The tiny jelly that shares the coasts of Australia with the big mangler o' wars?

 

Each one carries enough poison to kill roughly 60 people whereas there've only been 4 recorded deaths caused by a man of war. Size ain't everything.

 

Sea wasp's are a variety of box jellyfish. They're quite common over here - another Australian special. I love the story about the Irukandji box jellyfish.

Haha. Crazy mofo.

Many of our beaches have bottles of vinegar at first aid stations to deal with box jellyfish stings in the crucial first few minutes before cardiac arrest becomes a problem. It turns out that we've been doing it wrong for many decades and that using vinegar actually makes things worse, resulting in up to 60% more venom being injected into the victim.

I'll sting you with this deadly jellyfish... for SCIENCE!

 

The irukandji are/were one of the tribes from that area of Australia?

All I remember from highschool about the jellies is that the little tiny ones die if they hit glass, and the person who managed to keep a few alive had them in an aquarium that spun the water around or something.

That and that the little bastards make you scream for a few days and that morphine doesn't help much if at all.

Actually, I think I'm gonna look up the floating stomachs and see what I forgot.

 

They are indeed named after the Irukandji people of far north Queensland.

These two videos are pretty good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ws5hImeonEA - It gets a little over-dramatic towards the end, but it's Nat Geo and has some interesting content.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GK_Cl_54Qh8 - I love the last 30 seconds. "For God's sake don't ever research jelly fish; it's a stupid thing to do." Watch the whole thing. Poor bastards.
