    I don’t get how Americans are more scared of Australia’s animals when they have goddamn bears! You can get an antidote for a spider or snake bite, you can’t get an antidote for a bear bite.

      They also have coyotes that wander into towns, an animal that’s bigger than a large SUV aka the moose.

      I live in a country town and I saw a fox walking around for the first time in my life and he looked as confused as to why he was there as was.

    Huntsman spiders are disgustingly large. Thanks for the reminder to never step foot into Australia.

      They’re the friendliest ones.

      I have stopped and set fire to three redback nests this week, but there’s a huntsman happily living in my garage right now who isn’t going to harm anyone.
