I dunno I think I remember a documentary about tasmanian devil's and they'll just rip through anything
Technically not venomous but will still fuck you up

Tasmania has three snakes and all of them are venomous
>>
>>5125136
It also has three people and all of them are flannied and denimous.
>>
>>5125097

Yeah, that's the one I watched

>>5125097
So are dogs, but aggressive ones can still easily draw blood.

Yeah, after you exterminated 1,000,000% of the indígena on the island puta merda

Why do abos all look the same regardless of gender? Are they living homonids?
>>
>>5125136
three snakes isn’t so many, it should be pretty easy to just avoid them
>>
>>5125753
There are some genuinely beautiful African women around. Not many, but some.
I do have a thing for native American women. Lots of beauty to be found there, even if they tend to be smol.
But goddamn, abbos are the ugliest motherfuckers homo sapiens has ever produced. There'a just no salvaging that. Uglier than South Indians, which is nuts.

do they carry rabies?
>>
>>5125020
It would be extremely painful
>>
>>5125122
Glad I'm in Maine where there's only like a rare spider that's dangerous or rabies if a raccoon bites you.
Thanks for the green :)
>>
>>5125754
they quite literally are behind 50,000 years of human evolution prior to colonization, but certain people are too afraid to touch the topic. Their livers developed an entire sub-organ living in that desert shithole for thousands of years.
>>
>>5125949
That doesn't really make any sense given a decent part of Australia is not a desert
>>
>>5125953
m8 they drink the piss out of frogs that would kill normal people

>>5125903
aren't there rattlesnakes up there? I thought they were everywhere
>>
>>5125754
>Are they living homonids?
Well they’re alive and humans are Hominids so yeah I’d say so
>>
>>5125789
One of them is like really big though

>>5125903
>there's only like a rare spider that's dangerous
Doesn't australia have an Uber deadly spider that likes nesting in boots?
>>
>>5126354
You’re thinking of the funnel webs. They are one of the deadliest spiders but even they aren’t really that dangerous
>>
>>5125020
I didn't even know those things actually bit people for years i assumed that their skin was poisonous like those colorful frogs
>>
>>5125020
Australian animals aren't that dangerous and the few that are can be easily avoided if you're not a retard
>>
>>5126359
their butterflies have 6 foot wingspan and fly off with unsupervised children.

physically impossible for any insect to grow that large

This happened.

When I was a kid my dad would always take me to rock pools and I'd lift rocks up and look at what I could find. I found a few blue ringed octopuses but my dad had instilled a fear of them in me so I never touched them but it seemed like a lot of trust for a kid.
He used to tell me that if I got bit I'd be dead and there's nothing he could do about it.
>>
>>5125344
they look harmless

lol based dad scaring his kid into common sense

>>5125066
do really think Taz is more dangerous than the animals you can encounter in America or Europe?
>>
>>5125949
>they quite literally are behind 50,000 years of human evolution prior
not how evolution works
>Their livers developed an entire sub-organ
no it didn't
>>
>>5125754
They're very clearly a distinct subspecies, like Neanderthal and Denisovan.
>>
>>5132566
>like Neanderthal and Denisovan
Those are full species
>>
>>5132568
Neanderthals could also produce healthy offspring with humans.
Where do you draw the line?
Because to me it seems pretty obvious that there is a bias when it comes to humans and the lack of sub species.
Tons of almost completely identical animals are considered different sub species(often the difference is just a slightly different color variation), while different humans despite having evolved on different continents and having vastly different looks and other attributes aren't.
>>
>>5132573
>Neanderthals could also produce healthy offspring with humans
Reproductive compatibility is a bad measure of species status. There are cross genus hybrids that are fertile, let alone cross species. There is no line to be objectively drawn that defines any taxonomic ranking, but most agree they’re distinct from H. sapiens
