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?

    Australian cities and towns are really no different from anywhere else- almost completely devoid of wildlife. We exercise basic caution- check your boots before you put them on if you leave them outside, don’t go charging through long grass and swim between the flags.

    Outside of the occasional croc attack from someone going into water with literal signs saying they shouldn’t in remote areas of the country, and the rare snake or shark bite there’s really nothing out here to get you. Certainly nothing that actually hunts you.

    The US has mountain lions, rattle snakes, moose, alligators and bears, I’m good.
