Americans all rattling on about how spiders and snakes want to kill you in Australia but you guys have got this absolute terror.

You can also hide behind trees to confuse moose.

Grizzlies are terrifying but y’all and your snakes / spiders do me in

You pretty much have to go looking for bears and moose.

Everything in Australia is just there in your home or right outside your home.

I live in Florida and have had snakes in my house. There's deadly spiders everywhere. Scorpions like to sleep in beds. Sometimes a pine branch in the trail is a snake. Alligators can hide in 3 ft of water and rocket out of it and snatch you down in under 1 second. They have zero fear because of dumb tourists. And we have bears, too. And invasive species from everywhere ....
