      Well, dingoes probably killed a Canadian tourist a monthish ago and I would call crocodiles at least semi aquatic, I mean they’re more likely to kill me when I’m on land benefits I’m not fucking getting in any water with them in it.

      Also the indigenous did us a solid by helping remove giant komodo dragons (yes they got bigger), thylacoleo (actual drop bears) and quinkana (land crocs that can get fucked)

      That’s because everything that’s not a predator can still kill you. Even the shrubbery like the gympie-gympie will try to kill you, maybe not kill but drive to suicide .

      At least one fatality and multiple suicides from the pain. Someone wanted to use it in world war two but found it was to dangerous.

        That sounds interesting, I wish to learn about it.

        one Wikipedia article later

        Well that is terrifying.

      Because the small predator builds are way more dangerous. Fuckin box jellies and spiders man
