Kangaroos are freaking scary.

Every foreigner thinks kangaroos are cute

Every aussie knows you don't go near one, they'll tear your stomach clean out your asshole

Koalas will fuck you up too

Basically all the things that are cute will fuck you up, and all the things that look scary aren't as bad as you think.. Except bogans after sinking all their money on piss and losing their last multi

Don’t you guys have salt water crocs, lots of venomous snakes, lots of venomous spiders and deadly jelly fish?

[u/grownquiteweary → u/Super_Reading2048]

Yeah they're fine, box jelly fish are fucked but not all that common, deadly snakes are mostly in the bush ie not in cities and also not really predators, they scurry away. Spiders are fine for the most part. Crocs well yeah don't swim in a lake with crocs and you'll keep all your limbs, simple.

honestly we have mostly all of that in the states too, but they're in the vast empty parts of the states. I saw a few rattlesnakes in my day while in the army in Texas, but it was always out in the boonies far away from where people live. Same with scorpions in the desert. The ones that fuck with my head are alligators in the south, as they are just everywhere--if there's a pond in your backyard in the middle of a crowded suburb there's still a pretty good chance there's a gator in it. Hell, one dragged a kid off the beach in Disneyworld at a crowded resort a few years ago.

My wife and I were at that Disneyworld resort about 2 weeks before that happened.

There were no signs anywhere that crocs were in the water. There were these little sandy “beach” spots where we assumed people paddled around in the water. Nothing to say it wasn’t safe at all.

We even went out at night and stood right on the shoreline to watch that light up boat that drives around.

Horrifying seeing that on the news when it happened.
