The love-child of an anglerfish and a rattlesnake. Sweeeet.

I may be wrong - and do feel free to correct me - but it seems that apart from crocs, Australia's rivers don't seem to want to kill people. Which makes them unique in the landscape. So my one guess is the above pic is NOT Australian.

Cue a deluge of photos of Killer Fish From Downunder

Or just a deluge of fish.

Same guy and fish. Different angle. Still big, but doesn't appear quite so huge.

Still a nopefish, though.

Sundae · 08-01-2013, 03:44 AM

Ayuh.

ZenGum · 08-01-2013, 06:12 AM

Definitely not an Australian fish. Keen anglers tried to introduce them, but they kept getting wiped out by the native fish. True story, I swear.

Gravdigr · 08-01-2013, 02:16 PM

Looks sorta carpish, scale-wise.

xenophobic fish !

I don't think Australian wildlife/ weather/ landscape is necessarily xenophobic.
It just wants to kill anything and everything regardless of whether it's native or imported (Cane Toads excepted - Australian humans did that and they need to do the killing bit too.)

Oz just basically looks at anything and says, "Om nom nom nom."

I've only met one non-Australian Australian.
She was first generation (as we reckon it)
Irish parents moved to Aus, spawned a whiny child, she decamped as soon as she could to come and plague us in England. She hated Ireland (too wet) hated England (not Australia) and hated Australia.
You had to be wary of getting this girl onto the subject of her homeland because she had a list as long as her scrawny arm about how awful it was.

Don't get me wrong, with family and (I hope) friends in Aus I am happy to joke about it.
But this girl was venomous.
She probably wasn't allowed back into Eire because St Patrick got rid of all the snakes.

Gosh - I knew her about 20 years ago. Turns out I hold a fierce grudge.
Actually, no. She was a nasty piece of work. So there.

Saw this over at The Shack, and had to look twice. WTF??

It's a Spiny Orb-Weaver! The first I've seen wit me own eyes.

The abdomen was about the size of a pea (¼-inch-ish).

Now that is pretty.
If it was the size of a golfball it would be yuck.
Size matters.
