are australian animals really that scary?

Country Ausfag here.

Yes and no.

By and large 99% of them just want to be left the fuck alone and will only really arc up when some cunt pisses them off, but if they do get angry then they can fuck you up.

But almost always they're not interested in that, with some notable exceptions. Breeding season Sydney funnel webs get pretty angry and they roam which means you can find them on the back lawn or (occasionally) in the house. Cassowaries are rare, and you have to be pretty unlucky to find one in the mood for ruining your day. There is a couple of different snakes that'll chase you if they're in the mood, but again you have to be pretty unlucky.

As far as the flora and fauna are concerned, the price of living in Australia is eternal vigilance. Living with the wildlife is easy provided you take precautions and know what you are dealing with if one of them does get pissed off that his great new home turns out to be your gumboot.

tl;dr: If you go sticking your dick into stupid places without checking that happens to have an animal that does not take kindly to your presence, it will hurt you. What a fucking shocker.

I live in Melbourne's suburban areas and I have not seen any of Australia's dangerous animals. Yes spiders are everywhere, like anywhere else on Earth, but most of them are either daddy long-legs or huntsmans (both non-lethal). Unless you are in the outback/countryside you won't run into anything that could kill you.

We have highly toxic birds. Make of that what you will.

Plants too

I live in rural Australia and have to remove brown or red belly black snakes from my yard at most 3 times a year, honestly I'm more intimidated by roos, those things can fuck you up if you eyeball the wrong one.

The scariest.

>>2437147
The main difference is that we have a lot of small things that can kill you, everywhere.

We dont have bears, moose, anything large and threatening (bar kangaroos/crocs) but we do have spiders, snakes, jellyfish and octopus, all which can be found in your backyard/park or beach.
