Not sure about that... https://www.fox13news.com/news/non-native-harbor-seal-appears-on-north-florida-beach
I dont know how you guys up north do it. I've lived in the south my whole life and cant imagine what it must be like to deal with the frigid temps and snow/ice for extended periods of time. It was 93 in north Texas yesterday and my garden is in full swing.
I'd rather go to Australia than Maine. They both have natural beauty but I'm thinking the female scenery is probably way better down under. I can't remember ever meeting a hot woman that was from Maine.
I would agree the sites are most likely on a percentage basis much higher in Australia, but so is the percentage of monster creatures that live there. Ok, in Maine maybe attacked by a bear if you are in the wilderness, but in Australia you might get attacked by a spider the size of a bear, that can jump multiple feet to get to you. Or simply a smaller one will be hiding in your bed or behind the toilet and nail you. At the same time a trip to Australia is on my list of places to visit. I would make it a family trip, but 2 of our sons have made it clear they want nothing to do with Australia for the previously mentioned reasons. LOL
You forgot the huge crocodiles that call Australia home. And I think I read 8 of the top 10 deadliest snakes in the world are found in OZ. I'd be scared to step out of my front door if I lived there!
You forgot the Redback and Funnel Web Spiders, the Irukandji and Box Jellyfish, and of course the Bogans. Luckily you generally only get all those things in the outer suburbs.
%% ACTUALLY alligator attacks are on the increase in America; if one ever grabs you + backs in a deep water death spiral with out your gun\ stick your fist down its throat, its water flap will let water rush in\ drowned gator shock + awed alligator. And after the [USa] policeman shot the 'gator it dropped the child, but the kid was a dead duck anyway so to speak.
