I don’t get how Americans are more scared of Australia’s animals when they have goddamn bears! You can get an antidote for a spider or snake bite, you can’t get an antidote for a bear bite.

European transplanted in Australia. Spend time in the outdoors and occasionaencounter snakes most if them hate humans, make some noise before taking that shit (and during) and they will stay away. Easiest way to get bitten is to catch one by surprise and stop on it.
A hungry bear on the other hand…

They also have coyotes that wander into towns, an animal that’s bigger than a large SUV aka the moose.
I live in a country town and I saw a fox walking around for the first time in my life and he looked as confused as to why he was there as was.

Every time I watch Alone or other shows I am so glad I live in Oz. I can go camping and not get stomped/mauled in my sleep by a huge mammal! You can deal with spiders and snakes no problem, particularly in your sleep but a hungry bear or a wolf? That would put me off sleeping outdoors

In my defense, stranger, I’ve never even seen a bear. And, idk, they’re kinda cute. In theory, lol.
