I admit Australia does deserve a little bit of it's reputation:

I noticed something the snake catcher said:

"I've caught them under kids' pillows, in roof spaces and in shoes, all sorts of spots. I've even caught them at my house inside my son's Xbox".

Inside his sons Xbox!! I'll bet somewhere in Australia someone is opening a beer bottle today and a snake jumps out of it. Snakes everywhere.

Snakes everywhere.

They are, except not so much in dense cities. We do grow up watching where we're putting our hands and feet. 99% of snake bites happen to people that try to catch or kill the snake. If you step back and give it an obvious escape route all it wants to do is get away from you.

There was a lot of snakes up the top end. If I saw a big python or a goanna around the place that made me happy. The snakes and lizards don't interfere with each other at all but they all eat the same prey, so if you've got a big lizard in the yard there's a lower chance of anything else hanging around.

I don't know if they still do it or not, the Berry Springs Wildlife Park used to sell packets of snake poo to put in your ceiling cavity, guaranteed no rats or mice for 3 months.

My friend rescued a big dog, and one of the first things he did was to arrange some bones on the lawn in a line about a meter apart. If you moved one, he'd move it back. Dogs can be incredibly smart and helpful if we let them do their own thinking. One of his previous dogs had hitchiked over a hundred km to return home when abandoned outside of a hospital. He just joined humans with their thumb out going the right way.

There was a dog in Western Australia like this that became a bit of a local hero. When he died several towns built memorials for him and in 2011 a movie was made about him - Red Dog.

Even weirder, there are people who think that happy animals just have a reflex causing their expressions, with no actual emotional experience.

Yes. Something that can be tracked all the way back to the insane ideas of Descartes.

From what I see on the news the UK has been having a lot of trouble with evil Pooh in the last few years, their waters are unsafe to swim in and I wouldn't eat any of the fish from there either.
