Someone tell that bear he’s 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.
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?
north americans don’t 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.
Few weeks ago there was a black bear casually roaming the suburbs with local news casually reporting on it, while surrounding cities were like “Hang on, there’s bears that close to DC?” Bear was caught and relocated. Casually.
The ones that really freak me out isn’t listed above: alligators and crocodiles.
There’s tons of them along significant stretches of the US and they just kinda… wander around sometimes. And I mean, what are you going to do to stop them? Put up a fence?
Good luck!
Mountain lions are very common. And coyotes aren’t mega fauna but they are dangerous and you can hear them from my parents house In the middle of a big American city.
“what do we do about people who fake disabilities to get ssi” we throw them a fucking party for pulling off the most difficult and unrewarding grift of all time. literally i don’t care
