I keep on hearing about how scary most of the animals are there, from various venoumous arthropods, the emus that took land back from colonizers, and kangaroos. Is animal control a respected position in society like a fireman?
Honestly it's just a meme. We have deadly snakes and spiders but the death count each year is like single digits. They also just keep to themselves and will only attack if you're a dickhead. Crocodile and shark attacks too are rare. Kangaroos will only fight you if you walk up to one swinging.
Most fear of Australian animals comes from residents of NA but I'd rather my Aussie creatures than the NA bears, wild cats, wolves, moose (meese?) Etc.
Lol that whole thing is just a meme unless you live in the far outback.
