What the actual fuck did natural selection smoke in Australia?
Why is that place full to the brim of the most dangerous animals in the globe? I mean 21 of the 25 most venomous snakes, Big ass spiders...
I mean I genuinely wonder what happened, because there must be a reason. I think one animal got some strong venom once and then every being that followed just kept putting points on size and venom, like an evolutionary arms race
Edit: I feel like I have expressed my question quite badly. I'm not saying Australia is the most dangerous continent, nor that it has the most dangerous animals. Yes, Aus does lack Big mammals like bears and lions (for example) . I'm just saying, Aus does seem to have a higher than normal amount of highly venomous animals, which can also be found outside of Aus
