>>713228910aussie here, every day when i get into my car, i pass by a redback nest in the shed.
i have brownsnakes in the bush down the road, multiple local dogs have died to sniffing the wrong hole in the ground.
i've had to chase a red belly blacksnake out of my mates house a week back, because it bit his dog, and while their family were rushing it to the vet (its half paralysed now, neurotoxins scary) i offered to remove it from his kids room.
funnel webs aren't too common anymore, but as a child a kid from my school spent literal months in hospital after putting his finger into what he thought was an ant hill, and got bit.
roo kicked me off my bike one night, broke 3 ribs on the side it kicked, i just didn't see it in my neighbours garden and i spooked it.
dino ate another mates dog while we went camping.
im not going out into the outback or anything, i live in the Sydney CBD.
yes you may see a bear while hiking, but i literally cant go outside without getting fucking swooped by maggies for a good chunk of the year, and stumbling into a snakes den is a near certainty on a walk through the suburbs.
