too right they can; NEVER turn your back on a koala, those claws are very good at tearing open stomachs. Its a little known fact that koalas are responsible for the eradication of the Tassie devil in mainland Australia

Australia has some of the cutest and mostly harmless fuzzy animals in the world.

Only to be balanced by some of the most aggressive and deadliest in the world.

My personal favorite, the Sydney Funnel Web Spider. <shudder>

If there is nothing else to eat, piranha will eat each other. I know two people who have aquariums with piranha, and both have had occurrences of cannibalism. It typically occurs when the owner is on vacation, and didn't leave enough goldfish in the tank.

No matter how many you start with, eventually you will have only one.

forget that; try the inland taipan (fear snake), seasnake, whitetail spider <- the white-tail spider has venom which is basically a biological weapon; it contains bacteria that basically rots you away slowly. the cute animals are out gunned by the deadly ones. luckily its only ones like the funnel web, redback and a few others that hang out in suburban areas. or the box jellyfish and its cousin the irikangi jellyfish

Just to go a little off-topic: Is the rabbit that the English pirates let loose in Australia still alive?

I think one of the ferocious koalas got him a few years back.

It seems the 'roos aren't too happy about all the attention the koalas are getting on here and have taken to direct action:

Yep. They evolved here and now they are called poms.

Yeah, I think I would be more inclined to just call the cops then gone and got a drink at the closest bar.
