Dgar on Nostr: The thing is about Australian wildlife is that most Aussie animals won’t back down ...
The thing is about Australian wildlife is that most Aussie animals won’t back down from a fight, but most of them don’t go looking for a fight either.
If you’re worried about visiting Australia because of our deadly fauna, here’s a hint. If you see an Australian animal, walk away from it.
A kangaroo has trouble disemboweling a retreating person because its attack involves rocking back on its tail and kicking you with both feet. It’s not really able to do any damage on something that’s moving away.
Magpies will generally let you know where their territory is, and if you stay out of it while they’re nesting, they won’t knock a hole in your head.
You literally have to get in the water to be bothered by sharks or crocodiles. Swim where the locals swim.
Snakes and spiders are about the only thing that you might happen upon by surprise and they tend to be happy to let you leave, but will happily fuck you up in self defence.
Y’see, Aussie wildlife mostly kills idiots who approach it, try to pat it, or catch it. Our animals mostly kill and maim stupid people.
I guess, my point is, we don’t have anything like lions or bears that will chase you down, pull you out of your car and tear you to pieces.
Also, the chances of being shot in this country is almost non existent.
Australia’s a pretty safe place to visit, comparatively.
