At least koalas are cute.

You need to keep them fed with other things or they start looking for humans.

It’s because of all that Foster’s they drink.

thx!
YesButMaybe
I think Australia gets a bad wrap for dangerous creatures because everything lives in the hospitable places so people see the dangers more
FirePrinceZuzu
You mean bogans?
Spaceorbisgaming
What the hell is that thing in the bottom right? That needs to be burned with fire.

It’s from the one episode of the Mandalorian that I can never rewatch

Likely done by a bigger crocodile.
BiologicallyHazardousMaterial
so... M more crocodiles?
michiyl
Well, the scary part is that the head is the only thing remaining. So, even MORE terrifying when this is the only thing left of it!
msd3k
Exactly. Biting a head off is small stuff. Biting the whole body off the head is goddamn terrifying.
JustBoringDude
we love our deadly wildlife they must be protected.

It's a joke yes, but even species like these serve a function in the biosphere and removing them damages it.

Would be cooler if they just used real ones

The "Australian wildlife" in this context is probably humans

doobiedoobop
This crazy. Other countries have proper monsters like bears and wolves, and they have snakes and spiders too IIRC
thatlazylizard
But most aussie wild life is so cute!Quokkas, koalas,chubby blue tongue lizards.pretty much all of the lizards including the angry umbrellas
Iliekbirbs
parakeets, cockatoos, cockatiels, BIRBS!! ALL THE BIRBS!!
graehall
the angry umbrellas are such adorable drama queens

Bob?
it's what they don't show you in the anime.
GNiko
australian screensaver?
DerpeDimmer
Nah it's what happens if you forget your pocket flamethrower.

So you're trying to tell me that a giant spider ate Gladys?
ShadowSquids
They're just trying to keep him warm its cold outside.
Irarelypostbutwhenidoitsucks
His insides will be warm

...and mushy.

As a person who's terrified of spiders, I quite enjoyed that movie

Eight legged freaks. This and Evolution were absolute gems

I feel like these might be CGI, but Ive never been to Australia so they might not be.
db22
Yeah, they used CGI to tone these down a bit.
LurkerOfDarkness
Well they had to fit on the screen with the people ...
CosplayComet
As someone who's never been to Australia... I am 100% certain these are completely real.
ProudAussie
Believe me. They are fucking real.
purplebiscuit22531
I’m Australian and I had to look super close to confirm they are in fact CGI, but too right is very close to a drop bear.
jamesCosmosBaron
Umm. I would rather try to fornicate with a grizzly than deal with 99% of anything in Australia. Steve Erwin shoved his thumb in my bum once
unsinkabletwo
Truthfully, one of these is cgi, the rest are totally real.
edalton454
Actually, they used No-See-Ums from Florida.
WeaselBandit
Yes they are CGI because anyone whose ever gotten close enough to photograph hasn't made it back
I use to use a long range lens. It was attached to my rifle because fuck that. Shoot from a distance.
KnightThatDrinksTea
these are CGI...but so is Australia.
Billis75
It's the only way to not fall off the bottom of the planet.
Blethigg
They only used CGI because it was too dangerous to film in Australia.
Mirilali
Unless they called in the Hemsworths or the Irwins.
backrideup9
Star Wars Prequels (1+2) , not sure about 3, 4 is Stranger Things.

3 might be from a video game?

As a biologist, I know OP is joking but unfortunately, a lot of people genuinely think like that. They only care about the cute and cuddly
animals and don't care that a lot of ecologically important species aren't doing very well at the moment. Insects, for example, are
incredibly important and their populations are declining rapidly. But most people don't care.
Sayagain
I care, they can have Australia. Then make a show where we send convicts there to battle...wait nvm.
AnneMakesMistakes
For the record, most bugs are super cute.
SinStar87
avnj on youtube said a word for it but I forget what it was.
RussianMathNinja
I have heard the term "conservation bias."
For the record, i do care, i try to set up my garden bird,and insects in a friendly way, a drop on a hot plate maybe, but all bits help,
"A drop in a bucket" perhaps? Although, honestly, it's closer to a drop in the ocean. Corporations gotta do their part. They are the cause.
Kuroiya
I like the term "a drop on a hot plate". Gonna use that
and yes, english is not my mother tongue, but you may already see that
GoodBrotherGrimm
I honestly didn't notice, your English is totally fine.
To be honest…i use an app, mostly ‘ Reverso context ‘
