From the US here, and even just thinking about living in FLORIDA with all the alligators?

Dam, hell nah! That’s seriously so scarey and crazy to think about living with.

Not sure if you heard about this story. Was back a little before this February I think. But a 20 something guy spotted a 14 foot long alligator in Florida with half a woman’s body in its mouth.

He ran to the fire house which I guess was right there, police came…etc. info below if you want to know more. Tragic and terrible. This was pretty shocking. My draw dropped. It’s not something you hear about everyday here. So I’m just assuming is this something y’all deal with daily ?

I just imagine that this is something y’all deal with everyday? Idk I could be wrong. Not trying to be ignorant here. I mean I give y’all props for sure.

What’s it like there regarding dangerous animals, attacks, poisonous bugs and snakes? How do you live harmoniously along side that?

    There are many species of deadly things in Australia, but it’s very rare to encounter them in daily life.

    I’m 40 and I’ve only seen a snake a handful of times while out hiking, and they’re usually trying to get away from me.

    If you leave your shoes outside overnight you have to check them for spiders.

    But apart from that it’s rare to encounter the deadly things in Australia. And when you do, they’re not trying to attack you.
