Let's see, raccoons, Platypus, manatees, crocodiles. I can see where all these have to do with time change.

Oppossums and coyotes are the only two mammals that continue to expand their natural range in spite of efforts to stop them. When coyotes are euthenized by the USFW, they start having larger litters. Amazing.
Sorry, yes we have 'possoms here. Their 50 teeth will mess you up if you let them get you, but distract them with one hand and pick them up by their prehensile tail and they are helpless to get you.

They're the ones that don't get thrown off when it happens

Thanks for posting the info, Lantec....it certainly clears up the misunderstanding, and further proves that old saying: "Don't believe everything you read or see on TV." I just wish that I could remember the name of the documentary, in which one of the 'so-called' experts clearly stated that the crocodile is an introduced species to the U.S. Given the information you've so kindly provided, 'that program' seems to have got it wrong and needs correcting to save further confusion.
As for eating our wild crocs, well that's a no,no because they're a protected species, though we do have farms where they are bred specifically for study purposes, food and leather products, etc. Also, croc attacks on humans in Aust are not commonplace, and generally occur only when the inexperienced tourist/traveller ventures into their habitat, oblivious to the unseen dangers, silently lurking nearby.
I've heard that about Raccoons, but isn't the Rattlesnake another? The 'rattler' is another one of those more unusual creatures that fascinate me (from a great distance
) and I'm curious to know if the can be natively found elsewhere. Please...no offers to send us some.....we have the top 4 or 5 of the world's deadliest, as it is.
Too true, and with its quiet, secretive and obscure lifestyle, we know so little about it, really! We have another oddity, however, peculiar to Australia.....and the U.S. is quite welcome to retain the Lil Johnny anomaly for extensive research when he next visits there. Heck, we'll even provide the cage, if necessary. Can't guarantee you'd discover anything remarkable, but he won't be missed here.

| No Starkers, they're just rare. You see...us Americans EAT our Crocodiles instead of the other way around |

There is one animal I know we have in America that the rest of the world does not. |

This thread seemed like the place for this pic-- one of 4 in a National Geographic news item on a croc bigger than the Aussies'...(just slightly, though)
