Enter the DEADLIEST Aquarium in the World... (most venomous fish) ☠️

super translucent this is the most painful sting in the animal kingdom so in here we have the world's most famous snacks this is the most venomous fish in the world yeah so these have killed a few people everything in this place wants to kill me what's up guys we're here today at james cook university in queensland australia because we're meeting up with an amazing photographer videographer marine biologist scientist by the name of richard fitzpatrick and he's going to be showing us some of the most venomous animals in the world today why so much security richard uh we've got the world's most venomous animals in here there's lots of ways to die very quickly oh man what are people about to see ah apparently we've got box jellyfish here at kenji um the world's most venomous fish stone fish world's most venomous snails of cone snails and that's just the good stuff good talk so these are rescue turtles from the turtle hospital so these are the juveniles they're not venomous are they no but interestingly enough the green sea turtle will eat the box jellyfish which is the world's most venomous animal and they can do it without ill effects do you have a name oh yeah turtle one that's turtle two that's turtle three he's george the turtle georgia turtle yeah hello just giving you a proper name uh people eat sea turtles yeah the traditional owners the aboriginal people will eat them but when they eat them they'll avoid the intestines and the and the digestive tract because it can have box jellyfish tentacles and components inside it yeah oh they're super cute okay so will he bite me if i pet him oh you can pat him but if you put your finger in his mouth he will bite they're not that smart and not very bright they can feel you know getting scratches and stuff on the back of their shell some get quite friendly so the long-term plan for this guy is to go back into the ocean yeah so this one's a pretty good nick we've got one over there it's got papillomavirus wait what yeah sorry do you have a turtle that has corona virus no papilloma not corona so papilloma is a is a virus that you get on turtles and you see it all around the world and one of the places where turtles have a lot of trouble with it it's in hawaii it's those lumps on its fins the lumps on its spins yeah that's so sad so it's in here getting treated with antibiotics and all that kind of stuff giving them a second chance exactly with turtles because of their slow metabolic rate whatever you do it's always a slow road to recovery hey buddy you're a make a wish turtle yeah yeah and over here we have the world's most venomous animal that came in yesterday [Music] so this thing is more potent than any snake any spider when you look at the most venomous animals in the world the number two is the inland taipan but when you test the venom um the inland taipan will kill like a cell culture like about 50 60 of the cells within 10 minutes this thing will kill 100 of the cells in about 60 to 90 seconds [Music] and you're covering it with one measly yellow caution tape walmart what that's why the place is locked up if you're touching it what what the hell guys this is currentx flickering or the box jellyfish fully grown the bell will be the size of a basketball the tentacles there's 60 tentacles those tentacles can be 15 16 feet long longer than this bend almost two of these bins so you only need two meters which is what that's eight feet of one tentacle is enough to kill an adult so if you think of a fully grown animal 60 tentacles that are like you know 15 20 feet long that you know these things could literally kill a lot of people they're covered in billions of stinging organelles called pneumaticists which are like tiny harpoons um so then they fire off into the victim it has to kill its prey instantly so the tentacles don't break off so that's why they're so potent yeah if a fish swims into that thing it's game over yeah cactus so the one thing you want to know about these animals is when you've been handling them they do shed sticking themselves into the water and they do get on your hands make sure your hands are really clean before you go take a leak that can really hurt right here there's a little dot so those are the eyes this thing can see fish can see yeah they can form an image and they can see in color not all jellyfish have that ability to see right no how many jellyfish species have that ability basically the box jellyfish group this thing evolve so they may use their vision to hunt their friends yeah yeah he can see me right now yeah he knows we're here because if you walk into the water and there's a box jellyfish it's just going to turn away around and swim away from you but then the tentacles come back onto you okay so whenever you watch a documentary in a tv show and the presenters are stinging themselves nothing's happening they're just pretending if the animal is stressed out they're not going to fire what the problem is is if the animal is in the wild doing its natural hunting state and you blunder into it it doesn't know you're there it'll let the big guns fire and sting the hell out of here so the mouth is on the underside in the middle so then the food would go up into the top of the bell get digested and then the nutrients will flow down into the tentacle if you're holding it in the middle and hopefully seeing if the mouth will come up and envelop the fish yep which it's starting to do now so we'll come back out in 15 minutes and see where that fish has moved to but you can see how that's gone into the middle that fish will be probably totally digested in half an hour all right so we're gonna let the box jellyfish digest no entry authorized personnel only good time [Music] so this is the inside studio lab area for the different things we do we've got the most venomous moon jellies in the world just joking so i filled a little cave set oh look at him what is this for people that don't know this is a tasseled wobby gong okay and what it's still what is that um also known as a carpet shark so it's a shark yeah so it acts as an ambush predator waiting for um something to swim close and then boom they'll use their tail as a lure and they'll just wriggle it around to try and get animals to enter their cave of doom or the cave of death you got a little mustache going on yeah it's social hair oh look at his tail his tail is really cool i gotta find the stick of death oh see if i can get him to lure up for you everything in this place wants to kill me hmm stick of death that's it you hiked up this stick of death and that's what that's it we've been using this stick for 20 years to feed things you want to know why these are ambush predators imagine you're a little fish and this is you swimming past and you go la de la da i'm swinging past oh there's a looking funny looking rock oh there's a big cell where nothing happened richard actually does a lot of the filming for some of tv and media's biggest networks like nat geo bbc discovery channel what's it like working with those networks so they'll just give us a wish list and then we'll go out for a year and try and get the shots for them so if you've ever seen the attenborough great barrier reef series it's on netflix clown fish deal with the problem of overcrowding yes and you're watching the super close-ups or the eggs hatching that was filmed right here that was this pair of clownfish so the egg hatching sequence took about seven years of work for us to um work out when where how and what lighting conditions and all that kind of stuff to film so i've had this pair of clown fish have been in so many documentaries behind you is also probably the number two most venomous animal in the world about six inches from your butt oh god that's the irikenji jellyfish this looks like a nice cup of water so if you're stung by these this is the most painful sting in the animal kingdom it'll cause your blood pressure to rocket we've had a few deaths where the blood pressure's caused literally the arteries to explode so they look small but the tentacles can actually extend out to be over a meter long these have all been collected um to have their venom extracted warning venomous animals keep hands clear so this is last night's animals you caught these last night i didn't the jellyfish team did so you can see with a date that was the night before so this is the weekend so when the team comes in monday then all these animals will be processed for venom few weeks ago they caught over 400 and one night what is the purpose of you guys collecting all of these it's for research researching what does the venom do in the body so then we can counteract that historically when you're stung by a irikanji and you're in a hospital and you're going through a whole world of pain so to come up with better pain management first aid and so this is a short acting venom so it could actually have properties in the future for things like heart surgery all right so what's going on in this room okay so here are some of our mantis shrimp and stone fish oh major so we have the spearing manta shrimp so he's basically divided the tank into two sections so you can see where it's burrowing it burrows in the sand and then it just pops its head out of the hole this is the tail of the manta shrimp they can grow to be over a foot long if you ever see footage of them getting fed or eating in slo-mo it's this particular manta shrimp this is an ambush predator guys oh yeah so this is charlie sheen because when the lights are on and the cameras are rolling he doesn't want to work we're here all week we've had charlie now for i think nine years we worked out the other day and these are the clubbers whoa so there's two different types of mantis shrimp one is the boxing yeah and then the other is a spear yeah this is the one i had the fantasy is one of the coolest animals on earth yeah for a lot of reasons oh look at his eyes so excellent eyes i can see polarized light and then with the clubs at the elbow joint has a muscle and so then they can generate these huge forces flick out the club and then smash things i was gonna say i've seen clips of these on that geo are those your clips they're your clips i knew it so we did have multiple ones in here and they they did actually smash the glass between the tanks the rumor is that a manta shrimp's punch is so powerful it's as powerful as a 22-kilo wallet if you've got water a divider and water again they can smash that glass but if they hit you on the tip of your finger it really hurts as well wait has that happened to you yeah i've been hit a few times on a scale i've understand how painful is it oh if anira kanji is 10 yeah oh yeah two oh god the man better on an american scale probably not in a half oh my god you see this guy he looks like a rock he's looking wrong this is his eye this is my mouth you need to get one of those george and call it the rock so this is called a stone fish it's in the scorpion fish family this is one right here this is the most venomous fish in the world this is the most venomous fish in the world yeah okay let's bring it up so here at the top when they're upset they have 13 dorsal spines and each of these dorsal spines has a venom sac at the base of it so when you stand on it or put your hand on it and put pressure down on it it squeezes the venom up through the spine and into you yeah it's on those dorsal fins huh on the dorsals in australia if you get stung by a stone fish you got a hospital they'll give you an anti-venom and the anti-venom actually comes from the stone fish from here but in here we have the world's most venomous snail so this is the cone snail considered the most venomous snail in the world again like the box jellyfish the venom has evolved to work on vertebrates so you know if you're a snail you want to kill your pray straight away and that's what these supposed to do so these have killed a few people these have killed a few people that thing right there yep it is extremely tight and you can smell that piece of fish that you're trying to get so basically it'll just wait for fish to like get sleepy on the reef and then it'll go up to them and just eat them whole yep that is a mean snail here's the mouth oh whoa oh my gosh that's a big mouth you can see the size of the mouth compared to the what in the world dude it just ate that fish whole oh my god and then it's raising its snorkel like as a victory it's like waving to the fans like yeah i just downed that thing oh my god wow he's pretty cool what's going on right here with all this stuff oh these are teaching specimens there's a little blurring octopus that's a blue ring yep the most venomous octopus in the world if that invites you if you get a good dose the um toxin just causes a full cardiovascular collapse uh is there a reef tank wait this is a reef huh yes i've had so many requests on my channel for me to build a saltwater pond how do you manage the evaporation just constantly monitoring water quality each day and topping out with fresh water and just like that just like that just like that i've been told that i can't do this now i want this so we actually hop in here with the underwater kit to film to shoot behavioural sequences that would take too long to do in the wild this is quarrel yeah yeah these are richard you have bounced mushrooms right outside saltwater pond yeah what is the coolest place ever we just had a research program in here where we had a barrier across and we've been using it i'm looking at sawfish behavior these corals the soft corals and stuff grow so much we have to cull them all the time the system here is plugged into the refugium and then inside so all together it's about a 40 000 liter system and then this is a separate circuit behind here but the interesting thing with this one's the refugium this kinda hasn't been done much this is a very unusual refugium setup it's something we've been working on for a while but it's a tidal mangrove system so it matches the natural tide cycle in the wild so this is high tide at the moment low tide will be here but as the water is coming up and down slowly and pushing through the inoxic layers of the mud it scrubs out all the nitrates and phosphates remember keep your nitrates low and so we also use this as a film set for a lot of different animals come on the salt water crocodile there's a crocodile i'll get a bit of food soon and get him down if he leaps out while i'm going just grab him behind the neck yeah he doesn't hurt much sure it's a saltwater crock in this man's refugium i see enough this is a small little guy yeah but he's feisty as hell you got to be hungry in this temperature come on come on come on come on oh he is very feisty okay all right all right come on come on come on who's a good croc oh yeah dude he's gonna eat your gopro and this is the camera room that houses all of the equipment that they use to film those things yes and this is beck one of our camera people hello what's the coolest animal you filmed wow that would probably have to be the tiger sharks actually tiger sharks yeah what's what's to do with this camera is it the high speed one no no that's the high screen camera this is the high speed kit yeah so this is the one that does all the super slo-mo so so when you see the really super slow-mo stuff on national geographic yeah that's this that's a phantom 4k flex and it shoots a thousand pitches a second so what you're watching is 60 times slower than reality those are red cameras for people that don't know those are very very awesome and expensive these cameras they look really old 20 years old those ones they're our first cameras that we used 25 years old yep that camera is older than me that belongs to the museum i try to get easy all right richard thank you so much for taking the time to show us the facility here at james cook university if people want to find out more are they able to come in and see these animals yeah we do do tours through here people can follow all our filming and our research here's a james cook university marine biology sites or our company which is biopixel well it's been super cool to get like a behind the scenes on so many of these different animals that you always see on tv to get up close and personal with some of them was really amazing so thank you for your time and uh if you're interested i'll put the link to his research and if you would like to visit the aquarium here at james cook university i'll put that all in the description below we'll see you guys in the next one but until then remember keep your north choice black george out

Can I just say that these stupid-expression zoomed-in faces in so many Youtube thumbnails take away my desire to actually watch what I might otherwise find interesting?

Sorry for being O/T, this one just really seemed to be a good example.
