| 1s | ah Australian |
|---|---|
| 3s | animals now there's a topic that can get |
| 6s | people talking especially those from |
| 9s | overseas there's this amusing somewhat |
| 13s | bewildering perception among many |
| 15s | foreigners that every creature in |
| 17s | Australia is out to get |
| 19s | you you know the old everything in |
| 23s | Australia wants to kill you |
| 25s | line it's a bit of a chuckle for us |
| 28s | Aussies as we go about our daily lives |
| 31s | not exactly dodging death at every |
| 33s | turn let's Muse over this quirky |
| 37s | stereotype and the reality of our unique |
| 40s | fora first up it's true we do have some |
| 44s | of the world's most venomous snakes |
| 46s | slithering around like the Inland |
| 50s | taian then there are the spiders the |
| 54s | redback and the funnel web which sound |
| 57s | like they' walked straight out of a |
| 58s | horror |
| 59s | movie |
| 61s | and who could forget the saltwater |
| 63s | crocodile an apex predator that |
| 66s | certainly demands |
| 68s | respect but here's the thing encounters |
| 71s | with these deadly creatures are |
| 73s | relatively rare most Australians go |
| 77s | about their daily lives without so much |
| 79s | as a sighting of these Infamous |
| 82s | Critters it's like we've got this |
| 84s | reputation for living in a wildlife |
| 86s | Thriller but the reality is more like a |
| 89s | peaceful nature doct |
| 91s | documentary take kangaroos for |
| 93s | instance these iconic Aussie animals are |
| 96s | more likely to be seen grazing |
| 98s | peacefully in the bush or bounding |
| 100s | across a field than engaging in any sort |
| 103s | of deadly |
| 104s | Showdown sure they're strong and can be |
| 107s | unpredictable but they're hardly the |
| 109s | menacing beasts some might |
| 112s | imagine and what about |
| 115s | koalas these cuddly looking |
| 118s | mpal are a symbol of Australia's is |
| 120s | unique |
| 121s | Wildlife well they may look like the |
| 124s | perfect plush toy they're wild animals |
| 127s | of course but hardly |
| 129s | dangerous in fact they're more at risk |
| 132s | from us with habitat loss and disease |
| 136s | posing significant threats to their |
| 139s | populations then there's the quaca |
| 143s | famously known as the world's happiest |
| 145s | animal thanks to its seemingly constant |
| 149s | smile in native to Western Australia |
| 152s | these little creatures have become a bit |
| 153s | of a selfie |
| 155s | sensation hardly the stuff of nightmares |
| 158s | right but back to the deadly reputation |
| 162s | one reason for this perception might be |
| 165s | the sheer uniqueness of Australian |
| 168s | Wildlife our animals are unlike those |
| 171s | found anywhere else in the |
| 172s | world more than 80% of our mammals |
| 175s | reptiles and frogs are endemic to |
| 178s | Australia along with 90% of our fish and |
| 182s | insects with such distinctive lineup |
| 184s | it's no wonder our Wildlife has become |
| 187s | the stuff of |
| 188s | Legend The Fear Factor might also be |
| 191s | implified by the stories that make their |
| 193s | way around the world it's like telephone |
| 196s | Whispers a snake in a backyard becomes a |
| 199s | daily battle for survival in the telling |
| 202s | and retelling and let be honest it makes |
| 205s | for a more thrilling story to talk about |
| 208s | the dangers lurking in the Australia |
| 210s | Lush than the more commonplace reality |
| 213s | of peaceful |
| 215s | coexistence what's often overlooked in |
| 217s | these sensationalized Tales are the |
| 220s | efforts Australians make to live |
| 222s | harmoniously with our native fora we've |
| 225s | got snake catchers who safely relocate a |
| 228s | waywood serpent and Wildlife carers who |
| 231s | nurse injured animals back to health |
| 233s | it's a relationship built on respect and |
| 236s | an understanding of the delicate balance |
| 239s | between humans and nature |
| 242s | in a way this misconception about our |
| 244s | deadly animals is a bit like a metaphor |
| 247s | for Australia itself a land that seems |
| 250s | rugged and Untamed from afar but upon |
| 253s | closer look is diverse sophisticated and |
| 256s | full of Unexpected |
| 258s | Delights it's a country where you can |
| 261s | admire a kangaroo lounging in the sun |
| 264s | watch a koala dozing in a eucalyptus |
| 267s | tree or even snap a selfie with a quer |
| 270s | all without fearing for your |
| 272s | life so well it's fun to play up the |
| 276s | everything wants to kill you stereotype |
| 278s | with friends from |
| 280s | overseas the truth is living among |
| 282s | Australia's unique Wildlife is more |
| 285s | about Wonder than danger it's a daily |
| 288s | reminder of the extraordinary natural |
| 291s | beauty of our country and the privilege |
| 294s | we have in sharing our home with such |
| 296s | remarkable creatures except for drop |
| 299s | bears |
