Other places have plenty of poisonous shit, but the most worst of every category are all in Australia? What is it about Aus that causes that?
In: Biology
It doesn’t. The media just likes to amplify anything venemous or poisonous in Australia. But we’re a developed, stable country so lots of people from other developed countries visit here and haven’t had much experience watching out for things like spiders/snakes so they think it’s a huge deal. South America and Southern Africa have more dangerous animals but often people are worrying more about the humans as that’s what the media tells them to watch out for.
I lived in Mexico and had people say Australia sounds ‘so scary because of all the dangerous animals’ and I’d be like ‘you are driven to school in an armoured van and have 24/7 security but you think Australia is scary??’. Anyway, point is that humans are far scarier than animals. Animals are, for the most part, predictable.
