Oh can we stop this? we have no large land predators. Indeed Australia is so peaceful as to give rise to the quokka that fearlessly approaches humans.
Sure if you piss off a kangaroo or deliberately antagonise a spider you might get hurt but you’d have to really really try and odds are you would just get fixed up in hospital.
This land is peaceful, it’s inhabitants kind (well, except the humans, the English really did a number).
NaevaTheRat? You’re not really a rat are you? You’re a Drop Bear. This is exactly the sort of thing a Drop Bear would post to entice more victims people to come to Australia.
Seriously though it’s a country I’d love to visit one day.
As opposed to FUCKING BEARS. No one ever brings up the fact that america gets BEARS. IN THEIR GARBAGE BINS. As opposed to 90% of our shit we don’t encounter unless we go out of our way
If you notice a mountain lion, it’s not stalking you. If you notice paw prints following your footprints on the way back, that’s the sign a mountain lion was stalking you.
They sneak up on way more sensitive creatures than you for a living.

If you want an honest answer, it’s just fun for us. Take it as mild ribbing. There are worse things to be remembered for.

Except for… You know… Taipan’s… Fierce snakes… Stone fish… Blue ringed octopuses… Box jellyfish… Irukanji jellyfish… Gimpi gimpi trees… Bats carrying lyssa virus… White tail spiders… Mosquito’s carrying Ross river virus and/or dengue fever… Etc etc etc…

Take it up with my Canadian friend, I’m only relaying what he told me.
So you’re trying to tell me that spiders, amongst other things, aren’t going around Australia eating or fighting as many Aussies as they can?
That sounds like some wild conspiracy theory…
