  1. Numerous mega fauna did exist zdx some vanushing during early Aboriginal history, but the most impressive one pre 100, 000years ago.

  2. Bunyip is Aboriginal lore, and is like Lochness monster unproven.

  3. I would say that there is less danger in Australia, if excluding large number of venomous snakes, which by nature avoid people. While sometimes found around homes few people get bitten and in almost all cases safely treated with antivenen. We have no dangerous bears, mountain lions, wolves, coyotes, like in the US. I can go hicking or fishing without carrying firearms for self protection. Proper attention and possibly a good stick will keep you safe. Over many 4WD trips, unless specifically seeking creatures, only maybe a dozen snakes, and similar for scorpions, dangerous spiders, etc have occured. We are surprisingly safe on the whole. Been bitten by a red back spider, and fid not even seek medical attention put up with a couple of days ok aches and swelling. Had my forhead pushed on in my tent by a wild dingo's nose, on Fraser Island, where people have been attacked and children killed in dingo attack.

  4. Thylecene are possible due to huge areas of dense forest in Tasmania, an rummers keep coming of sightings yet no physical evidence yet found, say scat the droppings all creatures leave behind. The image shown could be a mockup to get a photo to gain publicity, some people do such

  5. Really super size monitor lizards, today the Komodo dragon is largest, but Australian Goannas, some species, can exceed 4m, I personally have dragged over 3m injured, stunned goanna from a roadway, after it was run over by a car, and chased and grabbed 2m examples. They are damned strong and claws are long and sharp. Do not get bitten as the wound is assured septic and needing urgent medical care, or likely faral consequence. So no laughing matter. Fortunately little risk of being attacked, only risk is to fools like me who collected lizards and felt confident to grab a gonanna. Snakes and such large lizards are definitely only for foolhardly people who over estimate their own abilities. Yet I have survived to 70yrs age so far and while alot more cautious and possibly (probably) too slow now, would still not be scared to try.

  6. Large cats like a black puma or similar have been claimed many places, but never actual evidence. I do know that some feral domestic cats grown to exceptional size, personally was challenged for a bird I shotb By a cat that almost the size a bull dog. I hhad to butt it with the rifle and discharge a couple of shots, to scare it. Should have shot to kill, but at the instant tried not to kill.

  7. Reptiles keep growing so as the age they get bigger special large examples may occur but some of the reported sizes seem well above normal and other than huge Salt water crocodiles not a single captured example of 20 ft or more lizards are on hand. While the footprint casts seem to imply truth no photo or physical examples have been shown. There are however fossil imprints on various places in clay and rocks, most dating back to pre historic times. A cast could easily originate from such foot prints, eithout living examples. Large goannas can take sheep and calves plus other smaller farm animals and a 3 to 4m goanna could easily create issues and be exagerated .

  8. No megalania now or for probaly more than 1000 years. Now the most dangerous reptile is our Salt Water Crocodile larger and string than the US Aligator, though very similar.

  9. Koala , drop bear is big BS, worst case is copping rain from above as they let fluids go or getting some black beans rattle the skull walking in bushland. Ancient creature true but no longer exists for thousands of years, but did share existence we ith Aborinines who came here 40000 to 80000 year ago
