I am sick , and I am watching Nat. Geo. and I saw this Dangerous Predators thing, and it says Australia has lots of dangerous animals in public places. Is that true? Any Australian can answer it?

It's supposed to be like that,I think.

Yeah it says there are 22 different poisonus spiders which causes 600 deaths at one year! How can someone live at that place, I guess this makes most Australians brave right?

Not exactly.They're bugs dude,they can be easily avoided with a few precautions.

And a good shoe.

The health bars thing is true.

Drop bears are the only thing the tourists have to worry about other than that the aussies are so full of alcohol and Witchetty grubs that the "scent" that wafts off their bodies makes them invincible to residential bugs
True story bro

it says Australia has lots of dangerous animals in public places. Is that true? Any Australian can answer it?

Yes. Yes it is.

Indeed, we have to poison our blood to poison the vast numbers of blood sucking insects, spiders and snakes. Many a time I have passed out only to awaken surrounded by a veritable graveyard of the most dangerous creatures known to man that attempted to feast on my sleeping body

Yet they leave a ring around you - like a safe zone? hehe but then the safe zone is for the bugs I am sure HAHA

p.s I was talking to someone from Australia a few days (or a week? ago) and he had a SNAKE slithering around on his computer desk while we were talking SCARY STUFF eeekkk theyre so blasé about it !

We are so lucky here - no nasties to get you while you sleep - or to hunt you down and eat you - NZers are the top of the food chain heh.

And there were intresting insect-like things in the sea. Seriusly everything is poisonus there?

What, you mean jellyfish? Yeah the little buggers are poisonous. Although they're not that little.

No not everything is poisonous. The sharks aren't, duh. Or the crocodiles. Or the dingoes. Platypus are though.

Yeah just about everything in Aus can kill you. Sorry.

South Australia's full of serial killers. It has one of the highest concentrations in the world.

Nobody knows why.

@Someone Nope, I mean some kind of sea snail, I can't remember the name of the insect, sorry.

Do you know Dingoes arnt truly native they where introduced i think 4000-6000 years ago.

That would be the cone shell, killersong. It's a mollusc.

Also, that's about right, Predator; dingos came from china, presumably.

Ed. I just watched that video... I'm moving to England

Yeah,they're called boxed jellyfish or something,right?

Yes, that exacly what I watched

I almost never see deadly animals and I live in the country. Australia isn't nearly as dangerous as people always seem to think.

Maybe you're invincible and you don't know it?

@Dinkulum
Or maybe she has a guardian angel or DEMON!
*Starts to feel a chill!*

Every country has its deadly regions and its safe spots. In most of the US, you can sleep outside under the stars without worrying. But in the mountains where I come from, you would wake to find a bear or a mountain lion chewing on you. Or down in Florida, they have all kinds of nasty deadly things running around the swamps. Hawaii has its share of deadly poisonous sea creatures. And the Gulf of Mexico has all kinds of deadly jelly fish and sharks. There are deadly creatures everywhere!

Every country has its deadly regions and its safe spots.
Alas nothing like that here
...Although the Aussies little Red Back has hitched a ride across the ditch and come to sink their fangs into our 'kabooses'. But they are ineffective against our robust glutes.. (gluteus maximus)with no fatalaties (zero kill rate - even I am better that THAT on TF2 lol) for the last 50years they dont seem to be evolving either

I dont think mainland australia has any native mammal predators apart from the masupial cats and even there rare.

I don't think Turkey has dangerous predators or such.

My country has King Cobra's,tiger's and some other dangerous animals!

Our worst predators are the prevalent humans, tourists, Labour party and douche-baggers.

I don't think Turkey has dangerous predators or such

Talk about Turkey: Turkey's most dangerous

@Schnapper

Yeah apart from the introduced species Australia has really boring wildlife.

Hey, hey, hey! The Kangaroo died for your Sins. It's the greatest animal Australia has to offer!

Quoted from Kangaroo Jack: "Nine of the ten deadliest snakes in the world live in Australia, and they all come out at night."
Oh, and our politicians and police are the biggest predators (Hehe, or Punishers ) you could find anywhere.

Kangaroo jack was one the lamest movies i have ever seen. They shouldnt of called kangaroo jack because it ahd little to do with the kangaroo most of it was about some money exchange.

A better title would be trouble down under or something like that.

You make the worst jokes DD.

@Punisher. Easy to see you've never spent long in the Aussy wilderness.

Sounds like fun! I'll just go grab my Austrailian Survival Guide and go take a hike!

Im gonna be honest with you i really live in australia.
I just said i was living in the uk because i thought i would never be on the DN for this long so made up a ultor-ego for the time being.

I know what Aus has and dosent have and it dosent have interestling wildlife apart from the introduced species.

Dude, you spelled Alter Ego wrong. Just saying.

What!?! I never seen a bear nor snake and scorpion, maybe jellyfish on Turkey! Lies! Slander! Hang him high!

I have a scorpion in my room, although it's not alive.

Lolwut. I is in Australia. I had a Snake in my pool twice. And ther r many small bugs ect ect that eat you. But I'm Asian so it don't have that ah.. Safe zone???
Oh btw I'm on mah iPad

Only "Dangerous" think I ever saw in Turkey is bee...

I live in Australia but I have had a holiday in America.
The danger rating is really not that different you should be thinking all of those kids in poverty in India are the brave ones

I'm FROM india dude,and it's NOT really that bad.

You only think that because the Indian mind control weevils have already implanted themselves in your brain. Now you won't resist when the other deadly animals attack.

Well said Duckhater; I guess some people think that Australians live in tin shacks in the outback and work on cattle ranches with Kelpies by their side.

Wait, you don't live in tin shacks?

They really do - what schnapps did thar is called misinformation (he is feeding you with it )

just do not make trouble with viper

trust to me

Well, some do.

Some Indians still live in huts without electricity and they LIKE IT for some reason.

enchilado said: "Well, some do."

Really now?

Now, am I going to believe Schnapper who's from Australia or Enchilado who's from... wait, nevermind.
