10 Pictures That Prove Australia Should Just Stay Down Under

There are so many different places across the world that it's normal to expect differences from place to place. Take Canada, for example. Sure, they're right above us, but it can get pretty cold when you go really far north, not to mention the fact that they barely have any deadly spiders and snakes up there. Here in America, however, we've got all kinds of fun stuff, like rattlesnakes, black widows, and all of those other scary things. We've even got alligators and Florida! Somewhere that makes America looks like child's play, however, is Australia. Have you ever seen the kind of stuff down there? I've never felt so good about being so far from a place. I mean, there's a reason everyone lives on the coast of that place.

1. Just a giant snake eating a "flying fox" in the middle of the road. You know, the usual.

By the way, "flying fox" is the name our Aussie friends have given to this giant bat.

2. Yes, that's a giant centipede eating a snake. Bugs are big enough to eat snakes! Oh yeah, it's venomous, too.

3. Remember that flying fox? Yeah, here it is to scale. They eat crocodiles and eagles, you know, nothing TOO big.

4. Even the signs are frightening. Can I park for 15 minutes or not? WHY DOESN'T ANYTHING MAKE SENSE?

5. You can't even go golfing without being interrupted by snakes. How are you supposed to get your ball back after an awesome putt?

6. Yeah, I think I'm going to have to pass...

7. At least their gas pumps are normal, right?

Oh, nevermind. Snakes pretend to be gas pumps in Australia.

8. It kind of looks like it's from the movie Alien, but according to redditors, it's a koala corpse.

9. This is a cassowary, which kicks with its raptor-like claws that can easily kill people. Why a bird like this exists, I will never know...

10. Snakes even like to go shopping in Australia. Need to stay fresh, right?
