Australia: where everything wants to kill you.
I live in Florida and I went to look up shark bite statistics and it looks like Florida leads the world which surprised me a little. I would have guessed Australia would have more. Having said that, there were only 16 "unprovoked" shark bites in Florida in 2023. Given the massive number of people that visit the beaches here, the odds of getting bitten by a shark are extremely low. Also, none of those 16 were fatal. Sharks don't tend to eat people here. They mistake people for food, get a taste, and apparently are disgusted and move along, lol.
Yeah, humans are mostly disgusting so I'm not surprised even the sharks want to spit us out.
I don't know what the statistics are here for fatalities from spiders, snakes, crocodiles, sharks, box jellyfish and all the other stuff that kills humans but when compared to a country with 360 million people the straight numbers might not look that high. On a per capita basis they would look different as there's only 27 million people here.
Surprising that there were no fatalities in Florida though.
You said what I was thinking here.
I am also disgusted once I get around people and move along...
Most aren't worth the time.
