>The bunyip is a large mythical creature from Australian Aboriginal mythology, said to lurk in swamps, billabongs, creeks, riverbeds, and waterholes.
I lived right by a rainforest with a ton of creeks as a kid and I got constant nightmares from this creature mate. I'd hear wailing in the forest at night for the 12 years of my life I lived in Australia. Don't go into the rainforests in australia at night

Australia has so much weird shit that it's the one place I'd actually believe any legend I was told. Honestly, so many things that exist there can (and will) harm or kill you. It's nonsensical that they would make up fake things to scare people. The only explanation is that every Australian urban legend is 100% factual.

Honestly the wildlife is really not that frightening. Our most dangerous creatures are snakes and spiders, and even then people very rarely die from them.

Bunyips can't be just one thing. The word basically just means loud, dangerous, aquatic animal.

This shit right here fucked with me way worse than Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. Then I bought the author's other stuff. Fuck you, Daniel Cohen! Scholastic too!

I always heard that it could be remnant Diprotodon. But the Diprotodon wasn't a carnivore so idk.

Hippos aren't carnivores either, but they kill more humans in Africa than crocodiles do.
