Sad but true. I prefer learning about the bugs and snakes and thinking 'Ohhhh, Austrailia is dangerous' but I bet Atlanta, Detroit and a handful of other places a few hours away are way more dangerous than worrying about a spider. Kinda disenchanting, but I have zero argument.The deadliest animal in Australia or anywhere else, is man. That's self evident.
Sad, but true. They are big animals and their kick can easily kill. Friends of ours had a stock-horse farm near Anglesea. There was a girl visiting them and when leading the horses down to the dam one horse kicked backwards and got the girl in the sternum. Split the aorta. Very sad.I've been saying this for years.
Riding a "barn sour" mare in a dry wash. She went stupid, reared, lost her footing and came over on top of me. If I'd been riding a saddle and not bare-back, I suspect the saddle horn would have done the same to me.Sad, but true. They are big animals and their kick can easily kill.

So I browse what's new on YouTube, come across this one and think of this thread.
It will be interesting to see if they succeed. Sounds like a tough puzzle to crack.Don’t ‘resurrect’ animals which no longer have suitable habitat. That’s just being stupid twice.
<edit> The Thylacine was never a dangerous animal.

If they can do it, I doubt they would release fertile ones in the wild. Not much point in releasing sterile ones either. Interesting nonetheless.It won't be a Thylacine, it will be a Thylacine/Dunnart chimera which has no place being released into the wild.

Same here.I think you underestimate the stupidity of the people in charge. Australia has a long history of monumental environmental stuffups green-lighted by the 'Best People' for the job.
Apart from Red Fire Ants introduced 'accidentally' (by mining companies improperly disinfecting second-hand mining equipment purchased overseas,) the rest of our invasive species problems were deliberate.

Top. Men.
The scales are beautiful. Is it chameleon (color changing) like the green anoles around my house, or does it just happen to be those blue and brown colors all the time?
Only mildly venomous........ I've no idea why you wasted everyone's time....Hooray for Australia! We didn’t have enough dangerous snakes so they found a new one. The Desert Whip Snake - mildly venomous, always fun.

I'm just wondering how fearsome the creature is holding him, so that he knew to just chill out and calm down - he wasn't going to win this fight.
Well....... They've got very large wrists and fully manicured nails.... Looks scary to me....I'm just wondering how fearsome the creature is holding him, so that he knew to just chill out and calm down - he wasn't going to win this fight.
