Saltire are dangerous and Australia is infested with them.

Be thankful that Megalania is extinct - in the past Australia had giant monitor lizards that made today’s Komodo Dragon look pint-sized in comparison.

Saltire?...................It’s on their flag..................

[MrEdd]

That’s a lotta shoes.

[King Moonracer]

Why didn’t the Secret Sevice stop them. Hillary has protection, right?

[Little Pig]

Or a complete luggage set.

[Red Badger]

The way she treats them, they may have helped....................

[a fool in paradise]

is his former home being gentrified?

[MCF]

You miss understand. they said “a big croc” not “a big crock”

[rjsimmon]

Thank God for duct tape.

[Terry Mross]

There had to be a lot of the early settlers get eaten before they figured out the things were dangerous. Lots of things are extremely dangerous.

Ten years to catch a croc, good work if you can find it.

And people were complaining how long it was taking to catch Bin Laden with the Pakistanis protecting him.

[Red Badger]

It’s a National Park......................

I meant salties - these are marine crocodiles.

[goldstategop]

Apart from the dingo, Australia today has no large marsupial or metatherian predator of consequence.

The thylacine is extinct.

Everything in Australia will kill you..................

[Pearls Before Swine]

Thank God for duct tape.

Thank God I'm not the person who has to remove that duct tape.

1322 pounds and 15 feet 5 inches long.

And 60 years old. That’s pretty impressive.

That must be terrifying for that little croc. In normal circumstances, I assume the big guy would make a meal of that little guy. In the wild, I’m guessing he always keeps a safe distance between himself and the big guy.
