Speaking of context, Australia welcomes you

Slightly slanted view but..

This is simply a case of misinformation. This is obviously a dragon grooming himself.

Never has this been more appropriate!

Illinois isn't so bad, I suppose.

So Australia's a lot like south Georgia? Okay.

Eh, the vegemite was enough to keep me away.

New Zealand is safer

Mother of pearl.

Did you have to import it?

And..... I'll pass. I don't mind snakes of North America so much but those are some crazy snakes and they didn't even really talk about the venomous ones.

Is that a giant bat in the first pic??

They didn't even mention the deserts that make death valley look like a sand box, or the wildfires that make California fires look like a campfire.

Fox bat- they eat fruit.

That worm is berkeleying gross!

Seriously, that bothered me the most! I would love to live in New Zealand, though.

I agree on the worm. I can deal with Crocs, Sharks, Dingos, snakes and millipedes.. but giant earthworms gross me out

The giant earthworms grow to 10 Feet long, they come from Gippsland in Victoria, which is some of the best land in the country.

With all of the cool wildlife, why did you decide to leave aussiesmg?

I found some wildlife here in Ohio that is pretty cool, and she is more amazing than anything I saw downunder.

Awww. Well, we're glad you made it out alive.

Pansy-stralia.

Although, I'd probably give up a lot to live there.

What is the most dangerous thing in New Zealand?

Is it the scary giant black eels, the mischievous and destructive giant flightless parrots, or the regular sized mischievous and destructive parrots?

I'd love to go to New Zealand, Australia not so much.

I'm cool with most of the things on that list... wear shoes/wetsuit in the ocean, a carry small pistol for dispatching gators a reasonably large knife in case you wake up and need to cut your way out of a big snake... but a swarm of millipedes big enough to take out a snake!? berkeley that. They are like fast, bitey armored caterpillars. That's like scorpions working together. It's terrifying.
