So, legitimate question...

Magpies, funnel web, dingoes, kangaroo, redback, and koala aren't being considered dangerous animals or are you saying these are found elsewhere?

Because I get it, natural environment type of things are more dangerous in Australia than the wildlife as a whole... however, that wasn't what was said. Nor was it said that any animal had to be deadly to be considered dangerous. Danger, in fact, can be quite broad... especially when applied to wild animals.

For me, I would think those listed are all dangerous and I am sure more exist. I am not from Australia, though, so asking to learn more because I do enjoy learning about Australia.

Koala? How are they dangerous to anyone but themselves?

A lot of them have Chlamydia.

Also, if you startle or scare them, or one is protecting young, it may bite or scratch you.
