Pictures That Prove Australia Is the Craziest
It shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that Australia is one of the craziest places on earth–but what else would you expect from a country founded by prisoners on a continent isolated from the rest of the world for some 40 million years!
Don’t believe us? Then check out this headline: Top End man attacked by croc, escaped by wrestling and poking it in the eyes, then drank beer as first aid. Yes, it’s real.
Still need more proof? Here are 17 pictures that prove Australia is the craziest:

Not only are crocodiles present throughout Australia, but they’re also huge. This saltwater croc caught on film is estimated to be about five and a half meters–or some 18 feet–in length. Sure… the dinosaurs went extinct, but with creatures like this still around, the question remains: who needs them? We’re not sure how you feel, but we would certainly respond “not us.”

And what’s more, Australia’s crocodiles aren’t afraid to leave their aquatic habitat. Though the water remains their primary hunting grounds, crocodiles are certainly comfortable enough on land to get out and explore, occasionally clashing with humans in the process. For example, this croc was killed in a Northern Territory town after his presence there was deemed threatening to humans. Threatening? Yeah, I’ll say…

But crocodiles aren’t the only freaky animals that call Australia home. Another fine example of the country’s creepily gigantic animal life is the grey-headed flying fox, technically a “megabat” but large enough to earn the “fox” name. An average wingspan of over three feet makes this creature a truly frightening sight. Perhaps craziest of all is the fact that these creatures aren’t confined to the wilderness–in fact, here they are filling the daytime sky in Sydney.
