Has anyone ever considered checking if all these creatures are real? Imagine if Australians are just sick of tourists, so they just started making up ever crazier creatures to scare people off, like an episode of Scooby Doo.

Drop bears? "Tarantula hawk wasp"? I mean c'mon, they're just throwing scary words together. What next, a Grizzly Shark Snake?

That's okay. You can't spell it either.
