We didn't see one.

I was like, could you not like bring one out for me?

Just roll it out of the background, like make it real authentic experience.

Yeah, I didn't see one.

I wanted to see a kookaburra as well.

I didn't see that.

But one thing that flew by, I kept seeing these bugs and they look pretty nasty.

And I'm like, what's that?

And they're like, you know, the local was like, that's a bloody assassin beetle, that.

And I'm like, an assassin beetle?

A what?

And they're like, oh yeah, they inject this venom and stuff.

And I was like, oh, let's get away from that.

Wow.

Probably I'd say the most dangerous situation might be the one in Chile.

And it weren't in that much danger, but because we were so kind of out there, we had to be conscious that the terrain there was like really tough.

And if it rained, we couldn't actually get out to the proper excavation site because it became, even if you had like the correct gear on, if you're walking out to the site, it was so slippery.

And one of the cameramen who I was out there with, he really badly injured his arm actually.

But you were...

five hours uh helicopter ride even to the nearest place so you've got to get them it was really quite dangerous than that and obviously puma foxes and mice and so there's potential like viruses and stuff and one of the things which on that trip which is bloody sad but we we survived everything out there and the celebratory um celebration like party like yeah we collected this fossil everybody got parasites from the friggin food
