      I meant the platypusses, but legit the number of times I’ve just been walking along a path and a snake has started thrashing around in the long grass next to me. All the snakes here are dead-in-eight-minutes type snakes.

      I would rather Australian risks than those of bears and big cats

      Aussie snakes try to keep away from people, they aren’t aggressive.

      Our spiders are so like those elsewhere (compare Redback to black widow)

      You’re unlikely to see a kangaroo in water. If you do, keep away from it just like you keep away from wild animals anyway
