    I don’t get how Americans are more scared of Australia’s animals when they have goddamn bears! You can get an antidote for a spider or snake bite, you can’t get an antidote for a bear bite.

      They also have coyotes that wander into towns, an animal that’s bigger than a large SUV aka the moose.

      I live in a country town and I saw a fox walking around for the first time in my life and he looked as confused as to why he was there as was.

      Every time I watch Alone or other shows I am so glad I live in Oz. I can go camping and not get stomped/mauled in my sleep by a huge mammal! You can deal with spiders and snakes no problem, particularly in your sleep but a hungry bear or a wolf? That would put me off sleeping outdoors
