A BEAR ATE MY BEST HUMMINGBIRD FEEDER.
Rude.
Someone tell that bear heās not supposed to eat that with the skin on.
I live in South Africa. And if you live in South Africa and you have any contact with people from the US or Canada you might have run into a question about wildlife like lions and elephants roaming our streets. Most South Africans get pretty offended by questions like this. We are a civilized country, our large and dangerous wildlife gets contained in properly fenced parks.Ā
I use to get offended by this until I visited a few places in Canada and realized that the reason why you ask is that some of your large and dangerous wildlife does simply roam the countryside and sometimes make excursions into town.
This honestly blew my mind. What do you mean, you have bears just walking around? What the hell?Ā
north americans donāt all encounter deadly megafauna on our porches and front lawns but it happens often enough that we all think this is a reasonable amount of gigantic animal to happen to your house. so when we think of africa we kinda imagine it like this:
like. if we had elephants here. this is what we would be putting up with on the regular. what do you mean you guys are more sensible than us.
TELL ME AGAIN HOW AUSTRALIA IS THE DEATH COUNTRY
We have two spiders and (apparently) 12 snakes but we donāt have lions, bears, wildcats, AND crocodiles.
We sometimes have crocodiles and large boas in certain areas. We donāt have to worry about a bear attacking our halloween decor. Or moose deciding to joust on the front lawn.
Maybe similar to Africa, Americaās fear of Australia is because you all assume our wildlife is exactly as huge and space-invadey.
oh yeah i forgot about the gators
Itās bear season in my hometown (western Canada) and either due to the heat/forest fires or the destruction of habitat (both? both is good bad) every time my family calls now itās āwe saw a bear/family of bears in the backyard every day this weekā instead of the perfectly normal āthere was a bear in the yard/thank goodness the dog didnāt chase that bearā on a bi-weekly basis.
