The same 6% who would go into the forest with 6 or more guns.

Well, it would certainly make for an interesting nature program, providing it's in a prime time slot.

No trouble getting sponsors, either. Peloton would underwrite that shit in half a minute.

At work.

*As an Australian bemusedly reads article about American's and their wild life....

Y'know? They actually still got more of a chance with theirs than we do with ours, right?

'S nuthin' t' sneeze at bein' able t' think ye can take on a bear.

Few an far between folks here survived takin' on a croc or shark. Least those are big enough ta' peg a swing at.

Bet most folks don't see the stone fish or box jelly that gets 'em.

Jus' sayin'.

I want to talk to the 28% that think they can't defeat a rat. 

6% is not to surprising. Compare it to the serious mental health number in society.

Interesting factlet: the deadliest non-human animal in Australia, in terms of the number of people killed annually, is the horse. Box jellies, common Browns, crocs - none of these are even close.
