Here’s my theory: God, if He exists, made Australia the most beautiful country in the world, then made it so that everything that flies, swims, walks or burrows will kill you for kicks.

Explain the Aboriginals, then. ^_^

They originated from Indonesia. Well, actually, no-one has any idea where they came from, as there are no primates in Australia that could have evolved into them, and all of the oldest Aboriginal equipment, bones, etc date back to roughly the same time, and it is fairly unlikely that they just appeared spontaneously ^_^.

Eh, I am not suggesting anything but the fact that the dangers of wildlife in Australia is somehow exaggerated. Except for Tasmania. ^_^

5 of the 10 World’s Most toxic Creatures inhabit Australia. Even the seashells will have a go at you ^_^

Oh? But they have neither Man O’ War’s (unless my memory fails me), tigers, pumas, cobras, scorpions, Brazilian wandering spiders (well, of course), dart frogs, hippopotamuses, giant crocodiles, or any of that.

Deadly creatures are spread all across the world, really. I would rather observe a box jellyfish from ten metres away than do the same with a jaguar. ^_^

isn’t the plural of hippopotomus still hippopotomus? like moose is still moose or deer is still deer?

It was in the dictionary, actually. Hippopotamus, pl. hippopotamuses. I guess it makes as much sense as “Pokémons” or “Pikachus”. ^_^

Australia: It’s primary spoken language is screaming.

It’s hippopotomi. Australia does in fact have Man O’Wars, crocodiles, scorpions, and dart frogs.

In Australia, venomous snakes actually outnumber the nonvenomous ones…..Food for thought.

Do they? I thought Man O’Wars lived around Iberia. Oh well, I was not sure about that. ^_^

But, Sammy, I was talking about large crocodiles. Scorpions I were unaware of, I was quite sure that they had their homes in Eurasia. Dart frogs were a great surprise to me; I thought the Amazon had the copyright on them? ^_^

not sure you get much bigger than a 6-7m saltwater crocodile..

Australia is known for its enormous, man-eating crocodiles ^_^
And what is several thousand kilometres of desert without scorpions? Or an enormous rainforest without venomous frogs? And the seas are literally teeming with man O’Wars. :P

Hee. My mistake(s), then. ^_^

I like to think that my point still stands, though. Otherwise there would be not a living thing left down there.

@King I looked at your link and when I got to the bottom of “Animals that can kill you” there was a ad for trips to Australia. :)
