yes it is true. no we have no snakes. we have one poisonous spider called the katipo which lives on the coast in like two random small areas in the country. life is safe here.
Why didn't I know this? I mean, I was in on Ireland being evilsnake free, but didn't know about New Zealand. Hmmm... was planning digging a deep wide trench around my farm land to form a snake barrier, but maybe I will just move now that there is another whole island to consider moving to!
and don't they have bears in Alaska? before man came along NZ pretty much only had birds, insects and tuataras. which means that now we don't have any big scary predators, maybe a few wild boars out in the bush, but nothing bad. it means tramping is great fun, you don't have to worry about being eaten and all that
yep..they have bears in alaska..and all over North America...big mean nasty ones..they're so cool though.
oh they would be, but i just think that when i'm tramping i'll sleep better at night knowing that the chances of being mauled and nibbled on by a hungry bear are nil.
i phoned up animates once asking how to get a pet snake and they got angry at me and told me not to violate the immigration laws.....wtf YES IMMAGRATION ....
thats crazy you guys cant have snakes. your possums are cute though. ours look like disgusting rats with huge thick rat tales and ghostly face, they freak everyone out, theyre so scary looking. and yours are so cute. you guys probably dont think so, though.
what do you guys think of ours? pretty freakin gross, huh. Is it true that Kangaroos are running around allthe time and you hit them with your car like we hit deer? and Koalas are cute too. i think ive seen one once. i wish i lived in new zealand. i hate america. not just becuase of the animals. lol. but because our country sucks, and it always seems like its so great in new zealand.
Your possums are kinda neat looking! But only because i haven't seen them often before i suppose.. and Kangaroos, and Koalas... You're thinking of Australia!! BLAH! But Kangaroos are neat animals. Have never seen a Koala for real though.. only from when i watched Noozles when i was a kid basically. New Zealand's animals are pretty cool though, we have no native mammals (except bats) so we have somewhat unique native biodiversity. Nz is an okay place, but we have our issues here - i won't start ranting yet haha Come for a visit, and if you like it, stay! (easier said then done i suppose)
