I think he caught it and filleted it and just threw what he wasn't going to eat back.. Normally you'd take the whole thing and throw whatever you don't want in the bin but no, this guy was an idiot and chucked it back in.
A taipan is a snake, a snake that you want to stay the hell away from!!
Haha a drop bear is a myth (a lot like the hoop snake legend). People always play this joke on tourists that a drop bear is a viscous little thing which looks like a koala that drops out of trees and attacks people. They're definitely not real.
Any crazy animal I could totally live without!

Ohhh. Golf ball. They're not nearly as scary then. Well, actually, it could be more terrifying that they're smaller. I don't know.
He cut it's head off? Why is that necessary in any situation? Isn't there some kind of issue with sharks being overly hunted or treated inhumanely or something (I might be making this up).
... What's a taipan? And a drop bear?
I don't know. I'd google it, but I'm afraid of the images that might pop up.
Yep. Wild boar. Something I could definitely live without... not that I've ever come across one in any regard. Nor do I plan to either.

@ LivE.LiFe.RanDoM
Urgh there's a real difference between autocorrects on my phone and ipad! I meant golf ball!!
Look, if I can survive it here so can you! In all honesty I've never seen a huge shark in the wild (except one time I was swimming in the ocean and some fisherman caught one, cut it's head off and threw it back and it washed up on the shore next to me....that was kind of terrifying actually...), never been dangerously close to a jelly, or had the pleasure of finding a taipan in my house... Whatever you do though when you come here, don't believe the drop bear stories!
Haha isn't it to keep themselves from getting sunburnt and stuff? Pigs are like that, pigs are disgusting. Cute but so gross.
I think so. We went camping a few months ago at this big lake and took our puppy and there were all these wild boar tracks and my boyfriend pretty much threw me and the dog back in our kayaks because they're notoriously nasty, territorial animals. Blahh.

Gold ball... like Fifa? I really don't want to go to Australia and be killed by teeny tiny spiders and huge snakes and killer jellies and sharks and apparently I have to fear emu trying to poke my brains out too. This is all too much to handle.
I watched a documentary on hippos once (I really don't know why) and the only thing I can distinctly remember is that fact that they fling there tail back and forth so they can spray dung. That's a nice mental image, right? They cover themselves in it. What a way to live.
Wild boar with their out of control tusks. They're really not attractive either and some of them get huge! Do you have those in Australia? Now I'm having mental images of Lord of the Flies.

@ LivE.LiFe.RanDoM
Hat isn't there! We've got everything from teeny tiny spiders and huge snakes to sharks and gold ball sized jellyfish. All of high could kill you (though the red back spider hasn't killed anybody since the antivenine was found).
Hippos are so dangerous, they don't care what so ever. They will kill you haha. I'd love to go to Arica!!
We hav wild boars are they destroy everything with a temper!!

... What else is there. I saw this documentary on hippos and they're really nasty. Hippos are African though... Actually, South Africa was my first study abroad choice, but my parents had a fit so Australia was number two!
I don't think I would particularly enjoy being poked by an overgrown bird.
They flock together and wreck havoc. It's horrible. I guess it's similar like comparing farm pigs to wild pigs. The wild turkey get a little crazy too.

@ LivE.LiFe.RanDoM
Haha wait until you see the rest of the not so cute australian wildlife. We have way too many things that can kill you or if not cause serious injury/pain...
Yeah they're African.. I think an Ostrich would win, Emus have been known to kind of play, like go up to an animal and poke it with their leg and then run away as if it wasn't to play chasey.
I'm guessing so, I don't think I've really heard of wild ones,

Your little fun fact session is going to be the source of my nightmares tonight. Now I'm going to have to live in fear of being stepped on by emu. I don't know where I thought ostriches are from, but apparently I decided it was Australia... they're African, right? In my mind all huge, mutant birds should flock together. Emo vs. Ostrich, fight of the big birds, who would win? Go!
Like a farm animal turkey...?

@ LivE.LiFe.RanDoM
So I just got these facts off the internet haha they get to about 6.6ft and can run like 50kmh (31mph) which is pretty commonly known here. But what I didn't realise is they have such monster huge legs they can step like 9ft!! Ostriches aren't native to Aus but I've been to wildlife sanctuaries where they have them. I'd say given that they've killed people before ostriches are probably worse. Best to also stay away from the cassowary!!
Haha I had a pet turkey when I was a kid! Birds are just terrifying things!!
Why would you even ask that question in an interview let alone pay time to answer it? Bizarre.

Are emus as massive as I think they are? And do you have ostriches too? Is one a lesser evil? Where I live we're got some pretty crazy wild turkeys. They can get pretty nasty.
I honestly just read something about Ryan Gosling and it was talking about how he cried this one time after a one night stand. ahaha. So random. Why should anyone know that?
Really? I'll have to look that up.

@ LivE.LiFe.RanDoM
Yeah they have huge eggs that are like a bluey-green colour. But the birds themselves... I wouldn't trust their beady devil eyes for all the money in the world! A family friend used to farm them when I was younger and they used to chase us around trying to peck us, even the babies would try to attack us, they're terrifying!
Oh god yes!! I think I could over look a pouched shoe for Ryan Gosling, no troubles at all.
Hahah!! maybe its the fact I've never held one, or the amount of videos of the internet of their smiling little faces floating in water. I think they're just too cute!!

Of course the dolphins need to be wearing kangaroo shoes on their dolphin feet.
An emu? Don't they have those pretty eggs the size of like your head?
I'm right there with you. Well... unless it's like Ryan Gosling. Then I might reconsider... but I'd definitely be asking some questions.
Really? I can't say that's be my first instinct with the prickly things.

@ LivE.LiFe.RanDoM
I really hope that in this scenario the dolphins are wearing kangaroo shoes just to sort of make a point! Depending on where you are you might even shoo an emu or two... Now they are the devil reincarnated I swear!!!
Haha!! Does it make me shallow to say I'd probably say no to a date with condoms in his shoes? Haha
I would buy so many hedgehogs, and give them all baths because that's all I want to do with them, bathe them hahaa

That could go horribly wrong if someone wasn't aware. Could you imagine driving through the Australian outback thinking you're all fine and dandy repelling all the wild shoeless kangaroos and suddenly rabid dogs (and dolphins) are chasing you.
Ahaha. "Extra large to accommodate magnum." This conversation is so strange.
Oh. Actually, hedgehogs are illegal in a couple states here too. You're always welcome to come crash with me!

@ LivE.LiFe.RanDoM
Yeah I think so, I think it's like the same frequency but instead of attracting them over it scares them away.
You could always use it as a marketing tactic "now with newly sized pouch for easier access to all your condom needs!"
Haha they're both illegal to own as pets here so we'd still be arrested, probably get five years jail and a fine of a few hundred thousand..... I need to move to the US to fulfil my hedgehog owning desires!!

But aren't those to call dogs over? ...Or am I thinking of those dolphin whistles?
That's true. If I were to have my own company kangaroos aren't necessarily my first choice for a logo. Especially if people were to stuff condoms in my pouches. I would need to include a little "pre-approved for pouch" leaflet.
A squirrel is a little much. A hedgehog is plausible. A lot of people have them as pets so... I don't see the issue. ahaha.

@ LivE.LiFe.RanDoM
I'd imagine so! It's kind of the same principle as those high pitch dog whistles I guess.
Exactly!! Oh perfect just what I needed, some shoes to fit my condoms in! God knows where I would out them if these bad boys weren't invented!
Poor kangaroos, they get a hard time in the commercial world that's for sure.
Yay we'll totally be arrested but that's just a chance I'm willing to take for a squirrel!! Or even a hedgehog!!

Whoever invented that must be a millionaire.
Ahaha. I don't even know who would think of that? Like honestly? "I bought these cool shoes with pouches to store my condoms." What...? I honestly can't believe they still make those shoes either. And have you ever heard of Kangol? Their logo at certain angles... you just have to look at it.
I'll ship you some in a box(:

@ LivE.LiFe.RanDoM
Haha no not shoes! They should, it saves you from wrecking your car by hitting some brick wall type animal that's for sure haha.
Oh my god!!! Can you imagine how alluring that'd be... I don't think a whole lot else could kill a mood so quickly! "Sorry, it's just... The condoms is in my kangaroo shoe, it's stuck in the pouch!"
I would die out of happiness if a squirrel or chipmunk was scurrying around my back yard. Although I will admit knowing that if a killer possum bites me I won't run the risk of getting rabies is nice hahah

Oh. Definitely not shoes at all. ahaha. They should make those for all the deer running around here.
It's literally a pocket big enough for like a single quarter. According to wikipedia some people -- I don't know who -- carrying condoms in it. I guess it's... I don't even have words. Can you imagine? "Sorry, let me get a condom... it's in my kangaroo pouch shoes."
Australian animals sound so much more exciting than the ones in my backyard. I've got like squirrels... and chipmunks with the occasional fox or raccoon. Everyday animals.
