Reptiles in Australia

As an Australian, on land we don't have large mammal predators like bears, tigers or lions. If anything on land in Australia was to kill a person, it's not a mammal but anything with eight legs or no legs at all. However it is, Australia has crocodiles, four legs and can only exist in tropical waters, too cold to exist in Sydney, even still too cold for Brisbane. Where I live in the part of Australia is Victoria, instead of crocodiles, it's venomous snakes. After saying there's no tigers in Australia, Tasmania had Tylocenes which wasn't a tiger like that Koala is not a bear, we have TIGER SNAKES and still haven't seen them in the wild yet.

The Tiger Snake you see in the video was filmed at a zoo and I only ever had one perfect filming of a snake at the Botanic Gardens in Brisbane, I thought this was a Tiger Snake which turned out to be a Common Tree Snake instead. I had handled real snakes before, they were pythons only done by a supervision of a zoo keeper. I never touch reptiles in the wild even if they're harmless like the long neck tortoises.
 
thanks for sharing. learnt a lot. now also have lizard envy... uk wildlife is so boring!
UK wisely got rid of bears and wolves. Trout are native to Britain though and so are pheasants and hares.
Also I want to hear a nightingale (but I'm not joining the jet set to satisfy any whim).
 
Crocodiles have been sighted recently in creeks around Newcastle (down the back of my old suburb.) It is suspected they may have been illegally transported there.

very wise whim avoidance, nightingale incredibly rare here, ive only heard one once in my 46 years 😂

Crocodiles are well established both north and south of Cairns. During heavy flooding they should be expected on the main street - which means "don't go there!"
