There was a non-zero chance that I was going to be stuck an hour and a half away. Yeah. In a crocodile's mouth. I've actually got, James bought me a present from Australia Zoo. This is so special because I think it's quite possibly the ugliest thing I've ever seen in my life. I wanted to buy him something that he would love and his wife would hate. It's a commemorative plate of Steve Irwin and someone else.

There's reports of beekeepers who are sort of like, you know, 10, 15 meters away who decide to have a cheeky banana before doing their job and suddenly they're being chased by all the bees from the hive who believe that they're being attacked so they're attacking back. What? I was in Australia Zoo this afternoon. Yep. That's not funny, guys. and it said there that the Komodo dragon can smell its dinner from 11 kilometres away.

Thank you for the silent respect. Crocodile hunter. He was a crocodile hunter. He had Australia Zoo, and that was his big thing. He used to jump on a lot of massive crocodiles. One of the things which is said about him, and there's a tiny bit of question about it, but a lot of people say this is true, is that he had a Gapagos tortoise inside Australia Zoo.
