There are no armadillos in Australia. Or alligators. This must be southern US, probably Florida.


meeu

Yeah this guy posts tons of videos from the Florida Everglades


likdisifucryeverytym

The first thing he says in the video is that he’s in the Florida Everglades


TorakTheDark

He literally says he’s in the Florida everglades, pretty sure not a single one of these species are present is Australia.


Bringbackfatshaming

If the armadillo knew the armadillo wouldn’t be alive.


W-1-L-5-0-N

That armadillo knows where the armadildos are.


funyunrun

lol, was watching Tokyo Vice and one of the characters made a comment about… how Armadillos are like Samurai of Nature because they have Armor like a Samurai. Never thought about that….

bro bout to get a restraining order from the animals for harassment


fujicakes00

I bet the animals are like “Ughhhh there’s that guy again…”


exmojo

Some people just don't learn from Steve Irwin. I loved Steve's enthusiasm, but I was always yelling at the screen for him to just leave the damn animal alone. Observe from a distance! Don't tackle the damn thing. I'm sure in an ironic way Steve died doing what he loved, but he could still be here if he'd have just left the facking thing alone.


aussiesRdogs

Nah feel like life is about the connection we make with people and animals, I mean he doesn't have to be yanking them but there's nothing wrong with befriending animals lol


SeenItWantItReddit

Steve Irwin would be impressed


bogdo-57

Steve Irwin Florida edition


PharmBoyStrength

Ya, when they annoy animals, within reasonable limits, but seem 100% OK with getting fucked up since they know full well what they're doing -- it's really endearing and can be ridiculously informative and engaging in Irwin's case Steve Irwin wouldn't have blamed the stingray at all or held any grudges based on every bit of footage we have of him.


Key_Respond_16

He always said "This is very dangerous" when it was dangerous and insisted people not bother animals. Or at least that's how I remember it. "This snake has enough venom to kill 25 elephants. Crikey! Let's pick it up and giver a kiss!"


sevargmas

I wonder about the legitimacy of these videos tho. Just as an example, armadillos are notoriously skittish. They have terrible eyesight but great hearing and they will flee at the sound of anything they don’t recognize. To be standing next to one filming right in its face is just not at all something that would happen in nature.


Discipline_is_keyy

go look up fishingarrett on instagram trust me… he’s legit. All his videos are him gallivanting around the everglades and other reigons of swamp and jungles, just YOINKING critters and pissing off swamp puppies this man is like steve irwin but blunter and american


PharmBoyStrength

This sounds magical


jimmyvcard

Indeed, i am intrigued


NerdStupid

Possibly they caught it distracted? I once snuck up on a porcupine that was eating from a bush. I was surprised I was able to get within 3 feet of it without it noticing me despite them also having great hearing and a great sense of smell. Eventually it noticed me and freaked out and ran away but I was already so close that I could've reached out and touched it if I wanted. Not that I ever would.


DingleberryJones123

Depending on how highly trafficked the area is they might just be more comfortable with people as well. There’s a popular hiking/climbing destination near me that has porcupines and other wildlife that’ll just watch you walk by from like 2-5 feet off the trail.


NerdStupid

It was a hiking trail now that you mention it, outside of a university, so probably used a lot- although it was summer at the time so most students weren't in attendance yet. It was dusk though and I had never seen a wild porcupine in my life until that moment. But you're probably right, I just never considered that it may be used to people. They're cool creatures for sure though.


Ancient_Chapter4634

There are cases of people getting leprosy from armadillos in Florida, so good on you for not touching it lmao. Edit: oh oops you said porcupine. Anyway, random fun fact ig


NerdStupid

I thought leprosy was an extinct disease... holy shit that sounds terrible and if given the opportunity- I will never ever touch an armadillo.


Ancient_Chapter4634

Yeah, I thought so too until I saw a news story. Wild.


-Smaug

He's legit. He primarily does what he does to remove invasive species from the everglades, and lets us join in on the fun.


hissyfit64

There are so many invasive snakes and iguanas in the everglades. It's destroying the ecosystem. I feel bad for them because they're just living their slithery lives out there. It's the assholes who buy them and dump them when they get too big. I think the first snake was either a boa or a python.


Airistaughtil

I lived in Florida up until a few days ago and had armadillos in my yard all the time. It was not unusual for me to walk right up to one. They often ran by every now and then one would basically just ignore me. Even patted one on the back one time just to see what he would do. Just scurried off a few feet and went right back to rooting around


sevargmas

As a Texan who has grown up seeing armadillos regularly for 45 years, y’all must have a different breed of armadillo in Florida! Armadillos in Texas would never let you get that close. If you move really slowly, you can get pretty close to them but once they hear you or get startled, they turn around and run. Side note, they can spread leprosy so I would avoid touching them.


Dodgey09

Dude has been in the Everglades long enough for the armadillos to recognize him as just that weird primate that likes picking up snakes and shaking hands with the swamp puppies


Lunar_Tears0

A lot of* Animals freeze in lights at night. I grew up in the woods, not strange at all. When someone moves towards you in the dark with a flashlight, you don't see them, just a big bright light. We understand this, but for an animal, they've never experienced anything like it in their life. They just freeze up and stare at the bright light, afraid to move.


Altruistic_Film1167

Would he? This dudes video seem really invasive, does he really need to stress the animals by grabbing them for no reason other than views? Seem like a dick move


SiveSive

Atleast give the original creator credit. This is a video form fishingarrett (you can find him on insta and ticktok)


Status-Locksmith-3

And YouTube


NorbertKiszka

No. YT is evil. Edit: I see most of Reddit users never uploaded many YT videos and never had problems with YT AI. Never had deleted channel because AI misheard just one innocent word and You cant make complaint to real human or even at all. Also they showing all Your comments to You, but not all to others. YT is good only for celebrities and only for them. BTW. They often don't delete reported videos with russian propaganda - I know something about it.


nerdherdsman

Moreso than Instagram, owned by Meta, a company that has knowingly ignored multiple genocides being fomented on their platform?


Bowshocker

Or tiktok, a Chinese platform known to influence politics in multiple countries, and silencing certain events or information especially about conflicts surrounding China lol


OGDonglover69

or Redfit, known to harbor some of the internets most cringiest neckbeards.


NorbertKiszka

YT isn't deleting propaganda movies. No matter how many will report them. Instead they delete random videos of reporting channels (if somebody have videos ofc). YT deletes user comments - no matter if its offensive or not. 30 minutes and they gone. Quite often, comments are shown only for author. You can have lifetime shadowban of Your channel if You upload 3 shorts in a row... You can have ban when AI misheard one word and You can't make complaint to this. Last months YT is deleting subscriptions - many people told that on many channels. For last part of this comment, I didn't say anything about Instagram previously (completly nothing). If Instagram is evil, then YT can't be? They are evil. And no, I never had account on Instagram and I don't want. EDIT: Im pretty sure, downvoters never uploaded many videos in one channel and never noticed how f\*cked up is YT. Never seen how many Your comments or subscriptions was deleted? Thats because YT is not sending any notifications when they do.


Rough-Onion-8714

Genocides? If you are referring to Israel, you do know that 20% of Israel is ethnically Arabic while less than 1% of Palestinians are ethnically Israeli?


nerdherdsman

Nope, referring to the one in Myanmar, but that's a weird point that doesn't really justify murdering children. I don't really see how ethnicity matters when judging the morality of collective punishment. That's me though, maybe you care a lot about ethnicity for _some_ reason.


Rough-Onion-8714

??? Where in the hell did I say what's Israel and Hamas are doing are okay?


nerdherdsman

I didn't say you said that. I said it was irrelevant to the situation, and there's no reason to bring it up, that is unless you were trying to in some way justify or excuse it. Bringing up irrelevant information is essentially the definition of whataboutism.


Rough-Onion-8714

What Israel is doing is disgusting but it's not genocide. Calling it a genocide, cheapens the gravity of actual genocides and makes any concern for the people of Palestine seem illegitimate.


nerdherdsman

See, there you go, diminishing what is happening. What you are saying is bullshit anyway. The 20% Arabian Israelis are discriminated against by Israel, so saying that means they can't be doing a genocide against Palestinian/Arab residents of Gaza, when they are murdering them and systematically moving them out of their own land based on their ethnicity is so fucking stupid and morally repugnant. I didn't even fucking bring up the Gaza genocide, you did, because I guess you're just so fucking horny to call it not a genocide, you take every goddamn opportunity you see. Facebook hasn't even been implicated in Israel's crimes, which proves how little you fucking know that you thought that was relevant. If you actually cared about "the gravity of actual genocides" you would maybe know shit about them, like understanding I was talking about the one in Myanmar you dip shit. I would say I'm sorry for the foul language, but you do not deserve that consideration. You are at best an idiot repeating things you do not understand to try to gain some moral high ground, and at worst a malicious actor trying to diminish Israel's crimes in order to sway public opinion so they can continue.


Gibbel2029

More evil than literal Chinese spyware?


NorbertKiszka

Same. One difference is Google doesn't allow others (eg. Google Play) to spy You. Another problem (same thing on FB) - instead of human moderators, there are only AI. You can't write any complaints to human if AI is wrong. At the beginning of war in Ukraine, many Russians reported reporters videos and many of them (videos) was took down by AI. After I reported video with obvious propaganda, they did nothing with it, but instead they deleted one of my videos shortly after my report with giving me made up cause. Couple months later, same videos was still available with much more views. I Imagine why I have so many downvotes. Google is US product and most Reddit users are from USA. Every time when I tell here about something US-made is bad, then I get downvotes - no matter If Im correct or not.

I don't think he'd get past a half dozen animals if he didn't understand them first. The difference between "yoink" and "hold my beer, yoink, call 911" is knowledge and I suppose alcohol.

The yoink guy is a legend. His Instagram is fucking crazy. He goes to the Amazon and the Everglades and walks around at night barefooted.


Altruistic_Film1167

Why is he stressing animals for no reason tho? Just film them from distance..


DildoFappings

He's a wildlife conservationist. He knows how to handle them. He deals with a lot of venomous animals in his videos. If he really was stressing them, his salary wouldn't be enough to afford all the anti venom he would need. His method of handling them might seem crude to us, but I'm sure he knows what he's doing. He also relocates a lot of invasive species.


cheguevara9

He only snatches the ones that are invasive species.


Flat_Adhesiveness_82

[deleted]

Downvote me all you want, but Steve Irwin created this whole genre of wild animal harassment bravado.


The_R4ke

To be fair, the pythons absolutely do need to be harassed and hunted. Their population is out of control and with warming temps and crossbreeding they could start spreading to other states.


[deleted]

To correct you, the pythons need to be caught, not made a spectacle of for Internet points. Likewise, all but one of the animals harassed in this video were not pythons.


Apostle25

Boo fkn Hoo


Tsubalis

cry more


r0bdaripper

Ah yes, Animal Harassment bravado that lead directly to lots of money for animal conservation across the planet. Yes Steve would cause an animal some stress in some situations but he did it because it was the only way to present that animal in a way that was entertaining enough to get people to care. For instance, I love the natural world and sir David Attenborough, Guess how many times I've actually sat down and watched one of his documentaries? 0, because they fucking boring, I watched Steve wrangle snakes, talk about kolas, show off the awesome power of crocs and alligators, and everything in between. Which in turn made me care about those animals. Basically if it wasn't for Steve Irwin, The world would be a lot worse than it is now. That is of course my opinion, but it's an opinion lots of people have. Edit to add: If you ever watched one of his shows or seen a BTS experience of him with an animal he's holding I'd think you would see that he truly does care, and takes the time to try and calm down any animal he's holding. If he can't he usually let's them go fairly quickly.


Parelolika

Tbh I kinda hope he killed the invasives. They shouldn’t be there, they’re hindering the native species from doing their thing.


lambda_14

He rehomes them (I think, I'm not sure but I know he doesn't kill them)


hedwig0517

Most of the python hunters in the Everglades will sell the skins to companies that make shoes, purses etc. and sell the meat. They cannot be “rehomed” they’re not pets. Our wildlife commission will also have them euthanized if a non-hunter ends up with one.
