AGH! What other monsters are in Australia?
Vampire bats are from South America. We don't have anything like that here. All we have is:
  • Saltwater chocodiles that grow to 20 feet long and eat anyone who goes in or near the water.
  • Redback spiders (similar to the North American black widow spider).
  • 8 out of 10 most venomours snakes in the world come from down under. We have taipans, tiger snakes, dugites, death adders and a bunch of other venomous snakes that have such toxic venom, one drop can kill 10 adult men in 15 minutes.
  • Perentie goannas with loads of nasty bacteria in their mouths and if they bite you, you can lose the limb that is bitten. At the very least you end up on anti-biotics for weeks or even months and have huge scars to remember it by.
  • The eastern funnel web spider that comes out of the ground and attacks people. Their venom is lethal and kills people every year.
  • Platypus, where the males have venomous spurs on their back legs.
  • Cassowary, big flightless birds that evolved from dinosaurs and kick hell out of you. They can rip you open with their feet and cause major internal organ damage.
  • Male kangaroos that will kick you with their back legs and rupture your internal organs.
  • Emus are another large flightless bird that like to peck at your eyes.
  • Horrible jumping ants from Tasmania that are an evolutionary branch between wasps and ants. They have a real nasty sting and attack repeatedly.
  • Drop bears that build huge nests in trees and wait for prey to walk below their nest. then they drop on you and it's all over.
  • Yobbos, drunken idiot humans that should be avoided at all costs.

And that's just on land. In the water we have great white sharks, tiger sharks, bullsharks that live in fresh and salt water, hammerhead sharks, and loads of other sharks but most of those are harmless. We have blue bottle jellyfish, numerous types of box jellyfish including the irukandji that can kill you in minutes. We have stingrays that kill tv hosts, venomous catfish, and loads of rips at Bondi Beach that can carry you off to New Zealand.

Pretty sure that covers most of it, but no vampire bats :)

Oh no! You are moving? Where to? That must be so awful! I moved from New York to Virginia when I was younger, I remember how hard it was to leave my cousin behind, I am really sorry :-( Where did you live before?
Now I'm actually moving to Charleston, South Carolina. The job in PA didn't work out well, and this new job has a lot of great benefits.
