We don’t have sprays for animals. We just avoid them or punch them then run

You think I’m joking about punching them but...this actually happened. Don’t watch if you don’t like seeing a guy punch a kangaroo to stop it killing his dog. Australia is chaotic

Oh my goodness. I have fallen prey to the "everything is the same worldwide" thinking of North Americans. I had no idea there were no bears in Australia. My mistake.

No worries. There are plenty of other animals in Australia that can be dangerous or deadly.

Yeah--those snakes and spiders! Sometimes, I watch too much Animal Planet.
