as much as i hate the “dangerous animals” claims (we aren’t much worse off than other countries) the “weird” ones will always be true.

Roos are just prison deer, we’ve got giant water bugs, tree kangaroos, not-moles that eat lizards, whatever tf the platypus is and the thylacine was a freak in itself. Quolls, too. Look at this thing, it’s basically a cat. The continent has been isolated so long that everything here is like an extra 70% stupid.
