Deadly Australia.

A "wallabie" is a mis-spelling for "wallaby".

These are some wallabies:










You would have to be very unlucky to get seriously hurt by the wildlife here.

If you are out in the wilds, read about reasonable precautions - re snakes for instance. Like - don't walk in the bush without solid boots on.
Don't, if in the far tropical north, where there are crocodiles, swim where the signs clearly tell you not to.

Travel books and local guides should tell you about any dangers.

Almost nobody dies from local fauna. Bees and such are the most dnagerous animals here - just as they are in the US.

Threads like these were mainly set up to tease the Australians on the site.

Hmm is that the correct expression for feeling sheepish??

I thought the bottom two pictures were kangaroo?

thanks for humoring a dumb foreigner:)

Wallabies are quite similar to kangaroos - as well as some taxonomic differences, they are generally smaller.

How have you been dumb?

The animals described on this thread do, generally (I am unsure if - other than the two-finned land shark, any non-real animals have entered the thread - hint - neither drop-bears, not kangarillas exist - but Ozzians like to tease furriners with them) exist. It is just that their dangers are exaggerated in terms of your likelihood of running into them!


If you DID run into them, and they felt snappish (snakes and spiders and such generally just freeze or run - but you never know) it would be nasty - other country's animals always seem worse than your own, though, because they are unfamiliar.

I am afeered of grizzlies, meself!

That's why i have this grizzly ward on my front door all the time . . . and i can assure you, no grizzly has ever been seen in this apartment complex . . .

Lot's of info about Kangaroos and Wallabies.

Welcome back sweetie pie ;-)

Wilso - Oh I don't know, I guess it's just hard to tell when people are teasing over the computer! I get it now though -- and you're totally right, other countries' animals are always more intimidating. See case in point... I've lived here all my life and never seen a bear. People have in wooded residential areas on rare occasions even in my home state, but attacks are even more rare. I think they'd also run away rather than do anything else, just stay away from their cubs or else you're toast. I guess Australia just has this wildlife reputation... that's why Aussies are considered to be tougher than most.

It's damn good to know that snakes & spiders generally run away... !

I can't wait to come to Oz!

Be wary of advice from the Wabbit all you'll get is . . .

damn it, rabbit, its an aural tradition.

Here are some more dangerous Wallabies:

Margo's alive!!!!

(And it's oral, Patio.........teehee)

Oral can be confused with something licentious, whereas aural -- short of the conjugal visit the Lord God paid to the Virgin Mary or that Zeus paid to some ear canal -- cannot. And you cannot have an oral tradition without an aural tradition -- unless you are a member of Parliament. Or Funkadelic.

Can too.

Well, okay, there is the Joe Orton book, too...

Who you calling an ear?
