Hey everybody, I started trying to watch this video about the mating dance of the male peacock spider, but got so distracted by the narrator's awesome accent that I can't finish the video until I know what it is. Please, anyone, help me out here?

Sounds like a German who learned English in school but has since moved to Australia, as many of his sounds are
getting better. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

Southern German (I'm not sure, maybe Franconian?) and he's been in Australia for some time, would be my bet. But no more than 5€ on it.

Oh, of course! Thank you everybody! I feel like an idiot – I completely missed seeing his name and was assuming that he must be a native Australian, but then when I heard him speak I thought it might be South African or something... now that I listen to him again, the German accent is more obvious. Thanks, you guys. :)
