    coming from australia, this is super real… we have such a unique set of animals and plants that it’s all just so normal to us, but then you travel overseas and everything is like what you see on tv and in movies

    i’m mid 30s, and last year i saw snow falling for the first time in chicago… snow falling is beautiful, and to most of the world it’s just normal - to australians, it just never happens

      Seeing how Australians react to kangaroos like they’re just slightly more dangerous deer is so jarring

            Kangaroos would learn their place pretty quick if humans started hunting them with pointy sticks again 😤

              i mean, we hunt them with guns now so i’m not sure a pointy stick will change their point of view :p

        Deer will mostly run the hell away. Roos OTOH, sometimes you gotta punch back.

      Snowfall is probably one of the best sensations in nature. It’s just so calming and peaceful.
