They also take a lot of unimportant stuff and pretend it's important. Australian snakes are 17 of the top 20 most venomous snakes*
*Against mice
They just don't attack humans unless the human is fucking with them
Cassowarys too. Deadly dangerous. The last people killed by a flock of them was throwing rocks and beer cans at them. You've got to try to get killed by them.

I know, right?
for the record, this might give you an idea of how much floof that thing has. They're where we get angora wool from.
This reminded me of the old Photoshop contests on fark... Good times
