    For sure, I understand and agree with you. It’s the same everywhere, most animals, even those that can easily kill you, want nothing to do with you.

    I was just saying, the notion that Australia is some crazy dangerous land infested with animals trying to kill you is just nonsense.

    Random story, I went to the US about 10 years ago and was in LA, driving around the mountains, just enjoying the area. I came up around a bend and saw a baby mountain lion running across the road and up a hill. I was so fucking excited, I hit the brakes, pulled over, got out of the car, took about 4-5 steps towards where it ran off and suddenly had the thought ‘fuck… Mum will be very close’. Got back in my car and left.

    Anyway, I drove through about 2000 miles of the US, that was the only ‘dangerous’ animal encounter.
