When I told DG about them he refused to believe me. Didn't think there could be a creature with such a name.
I'll ship some out to you all next week. Keep an eye on the mail.

Thanks RB. I've made a space for mine already. What do they like to eat best?

Cute, but our guinea-pigs are acutally cute enough. We had Mr. You and Cotton out on our laps last night and they complained when we eventually put them back in their cage.

Oh, I have lots of normal spiders here in warmer periods of the year. Perhaps I could get one on lone, just for those periods...

I'm still filing it under 'possible attempt by Ozzies as another Drop Bear-like yarn'. But considering the odd wildlife here and the names they attach to those and some places; Woolloomooloo, Wagga Wagga, Yarrawonga anyone? it might be legit.
And it will end up clawing your face off of course.

It's from Australia. Don't all animals from there have that tendency?

Hehehe, if Mari looked up, she'd see the point of that remark sail right over her head.... Actually, she would if not for that drop bear blocking her view.

Yes, I was thinking about that... how dangerous are emus and kangaroos? They seem relatively benign. Though I suppose any emu can break your arm with a flap of their wings...

More like with a peck of their viscous beak. They are not known for being super friendly. Kangaroos are OK unless they decided to kick you.

A good sized kangaroo can and will kick your stomach out through your spinal cord if given the opportunity and aggravated (or just feeling like it I guess).
Not sure about emus, but they are basically slightly smaller ostriches and those legs seem to have plenty kick in them too. Not much wing to speak of iirc.
Probably will take your eye out to see what it tastes like, they have beaks.

They mostly are I think. Pretty docile and the Wallabies are cute. The big ones are just that, very big and a bit more desert tough looking. They keep their distance themselves too, so you'd have to put in some more work to piss one off. Contrary to most of the flora and fauna here.

I just assume they're all dangerous! The big ones mangle you and the tiny ones poison you!

We used to have wallabies in the UK in Derbyshire. "A colony of the kangaroo’s smaller cousins had been established [in Derbyshire] since 1940. They had come from the private menagerie of a local landowner and colonial adventurer, Henry Brocklehurst, who had been game warden to the Government of Sudan, and who, after service as a pilot in the First World War, was to die in the Second, fighting the Japanese in Burma in 1942, at the age of 54. His wallabies had been released when wartime regulations insisted on the closure of private zoos." Two females survived into this century but they are now thought to have died out.
