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 is an ama?
Australia is mostly harmless if you live in a major city where most people spend all their time. Very few people live anywhere near a crocodile. There are no bears, big cats or wolves.
I have no stats, but I feel like you’re more likely to be bitten or killed by someone’s dog.
Occasionally a shark will kill someone but that’s also rare considering how popular the beaches are.
As for spiders and snakes, well our cities have been mostly sterilised of other lifeforms except some birds and a possum or two.
There are a few places where you need to keep your distance from cassowaries or dingos.
Here are some statistics. As you correctly guessed, dogs and humans account for the overwhelming majority of hospitalisations - 86% altogether.
Half a point to me. I forgot about the most dangerous animal.
Interesting thank you. What is a cassowaries?
A cassowary is a big flightless bird that lives in northeastern Australia. They look cool and lay cool coloured easter eggs. Some people occasionally get kicked by them which you don’t want to happen because of their big claws.
When people say the dinosaurs are extinct;
“Nah bro, they just evolved. Have you seen the Cassowary?!”
