Warning: Video will upset some currawongs.

 

Seen Barramundi eat ducks and geese .
Chicken tasting fish.......hmmmm

 

Photo taken just seconds before the diamond python got them..

 

@cicindela That’s why when you get them this big you have entered the horse club.
(You could put a saddle on it and ride it home.)

Make sure you watch the first bit and the fish at 6:32 minutes

 

Well, the first time I visited Australia was in 1988, and finally after 31 years of going there I saw a snake...



I believe this is an Eastern Brown snake - sunning itself in the morning to warm up...I didn't get too close, just in case.

 

Looks like @Alpha got lucky this was spotted before it got to his neck of the woods

Same with Huntsmans. Every arachnophile tells you just get a dust pan/ice cream container and catch them and let them go in the garden.

NFW!

This morning I was tidying up on the patio, doing some light gardening.
I picked up a bag of pea straw and a huge Huntsman ran over my hand and started up my arm.

<what I think happened>
I calmly brushed it off with my left hand and allowed it to run under the barbie while I finished with the garden work and then I went inside for a coffee.

<what actually happened according to a witness (I won't name HER)>
I screamed out so loud it started the dog off next door, flung my arm so violently I have a sore elbow, grabbed the broom and swatted it until it was flat, and then I swept it into the garden. I then proceeded to spray the area with residual spider and cockroach insecticide and went inside for a coffee.

 

You guys are funny, I get called out on overtime to collect spiders and have Mrs standy identifying them.

With only one of these

to capture one of these below ( and no I can’t spray them first as it ruins the identifiable characteristics )

 

Obviously hadn't heard about "Brexit"

 

No brandy in the coffee

 

You have a nope rope in your shoe!

 

Come across this creature today while bike riding,I think its harmless.

 

Yeah! That's EXACTLY what they want you to think!

And then as soon as you look away................you're dead meat!

 

That's only if you feed them after midnight! If you get them wet they pop out babies.

 

F***ing kangaroos! https://twitter.com/SBSNews/status/1104162379703689222

 

They're planning how to strike and avenge their fallen emu comrades Never let your guard down.. NEVERRRRRRRR!!!
But seriously that's a nice shot

 

It's hard to stop watching this one.
