Default I just found out there are no vultures in Australia

They populate Europe, Africa North/South America and Asia but for some reason not Australia.

Australia has a lot of cool shit that doesn't exist anywhere else though via some sort of geographic isolation phenomenon, right?

Rabbits are huge damn pests in Australia I think because people decided to introduce them there
They're so cute and cuddly they have to be harmless

It gives the snakes something to eat so they don't come into the city

I feel so dumb about this stuff, like how are rheas and emus and ostriches not related? This aussie I knew was so offended when I said there were emus outside of Australia, and then she freaked out that rheas existed. She also told me that marsupials only existed in Australia

Yeah they pretty much just hang out in the cities terrorising drunk peoples in alleys. You can't park your kangaroo on the street at night cause they'll just fuck that thing right up and then how am I getting home from the pub?
