And that's the reason you can only find platypuses in Australia.

You don’t see them though. The national park boards say “look for ripples in the water!”.

If you see ripples, you’re about to die.

Yeah, but from which threat? Snake? Spider? Swimming kangaroo?

I meant the platypusses, but legit the number of times I’ve just been walking along a path and a snake has started thrashing around in the long grass next to me. All the snakes here are dead-in-eight-minutes type snakes.

Well, if you live in Australia, you're about to die... So many deadly things always just round the corner, or under the seat!
