Australian here. We aren't drowning in murderous wildlife.

We do have deadly creatures, but the average person will likely never encounter them.

... we did have to ban a peppa pig episode about making friends with random spiders because aaaaa dear christ no, but apart from that really it's fine here...

Nice try, murderous creature. I'm not falling for that.

Seriously, though, that makes sense. Lots of countries have dangerous wildlife but they're mostly far from the big cities where people live. Plus Australia seems to have a large amount of land that's not populated (I think? Never been there). What would be the most dangerous animal an average person in the big cities encounter? Venomous spiders?
