Jeff's Question.

Kimotion said... I heard that nine of the top ten most poisonous snakes in the world are found in Australia. Is that true?

I'm pretty sure thats right. The most common snake where I live is the brown snake which I think is ranked second in the top ten. We had a close call with one and my dog about 5 months back when she dug one up. Luckily it was very cold and snake was to out of it to bite her before she could be dragged off.
I'll admit one of my favourite pass times when travelling os in trying to freak people out telling them about all the dangerous creepy crawlies, reptiles ect that we have over here but the truth is it's really not that bad as most of them will do anything to avoid ever running into you and unlike your mountain lions we have an antidote for most things...... well except crocs and sharks : )
I might be bias cause I've always had a bit of an interest in animals but I think it's just so cool to be surrounded by such interesting animals, although I would be very happy with a few less spiders in the house cause they really freak me out!!

Also checked out your blog, awesome stuff!! Good luck with next term it must be so cool pioneering the way for the rest of us : )
