Holey rusted metal, Batman!

That's one of the few (very few) nice things about New England. None of the wildlife is deadly. The most dangerous wildlife around here is the occasional retard in a 4x4 when it's snowing. :rolleyes:

Australia has more than its fair proportion of the world's most dangerous animals.

Even the jellyfish can kill you.

As for snakes? Snake chops do well on the barbecue.

Snake? Tastes like chicken!

I'm not thrilled with snakes, but salt water crocs freak me out. They get over 20 feet in Australia. That's how I now Steve Irwin is certifiable. And so's his American wife!
 
BIG FUCKING SNAKE!!!

6-foot snakes are no problem. They can't eat sheep - at least not the kinds of snakes around here. We've had a 7-foot black snake living under the house here before, and when i still lived with Dad we had at least 3 6-foot bull snakes around the house. Kept the mouse population down.

No black bears? Mmmmm....

Black bears aren't the really dangerous ones. Just leave them alone.

I the West we have grizzly bears. You can't just leave them alone, they won't let you!

They could still run you down and ruin a otherwise nice day for you, if they so choose! :D

Yes, i know. Native of Colorado.

zeb - COULD, but not very likely at all. When i lived in PA there was one that would come in the yard and just sit there and watch us chop wood. As long as we left him alone, he left us alone, and vice versa.

Unless you stumble between mommy and cubs. then you're bear chow (TM- Purina).

An Australian sheep farmer was puzzled at the disappearance of sheep on his farm. The farmer decided to put up an electric fence. This is what he found:
That may be a Rock Python, perhaps a different type, but definitely a python. I had a Burmese Python for a number of years, her name was Monty, of course. She was between 12' and 13' feet when I had to get rid of her. We were expecting our son and never wanted to chance him becoming an appetizer.

I've seen pics of a Reticulated Python in Asia that swallowed a man while he was napping. The python was hunted down and killed. The hunters sliced it oped and the dead guy just rolled out. That python was up around 20' or so. Anacondas are the largest, though. They're Boa Constrictors, not pythons, and large ones have been known to eat everything from people to capybaras to alligators.

Its a shame this one had to die for just doing what it does by nature.

:cool:
 
There's only one dangerous animal, but most of the time you have to act as if they're as sweet and loving as a cobra. :D
 
I find it hard to believe that one of those snakes could swallow a sheep, even crushed to death. A very young lamb, perhaps, but not a full grown sheep. :confused:

The snakes pictured would not be considered to be among the most dangerous.

Not sure which pictures you're referring to, but if it's the ones I posted, I beg to differ.

Cottonmouths and copperheads are both extremely dangerous around here, as they don't warn anyone, and cottonmouths especially are VERY fast, and VERY aggressive.

They've actually been known to chase people.

i don't much like them.

I don't either.

I've found a six-foot bushhog cuts them into nice, even little pieces.

(and I can smell them if they're anywhere close, no shit)

i just stay away from the ponds.

Tend to worry about copperheads, though. They're all over the place.
