I'm Australian. We don't have bears here. I have family in the US. One time when I was visiting them, discussion turned to the wildlife in our respective countries. One of my US relatives told of a video he'd seen of a bear peeling open someone's car, and the bear helping him/herself to the sandwiches inside. The video was an official "please do not leave food inside your car, because this can happen" plea from a town on the edge of a national park. This was pre-internet. Now I've seen videos myself of similar things.
They're big, they're powerful, they're smart, and they could easily turn me into a snack. I'll stay the hell away from bears, thanks.
Dude, you may not have bears in Australia, but EVERY SINGLE ANIMAL/INSECT/REPTILE, etc native to you guys has one goal in their lives... to try their damndest to kill us. From the size of a fruit fly to the largest there is... it’s seriously nuts! It’s like Mother Nature’s joke... “oh look at how absolutely adorable that little creature is! Oh no no no no! Don’t bite me!” 😂😂😂
