(And stupid)

We don't fear the salties, the stingers, the sharks, or being swept off rocks while rock fishing by a big wave, or being swept out to sea by a rip current to drown.
Or meet a dinosaur descendent in a rain forest. Or a large testosterone loaded male kangaroo looking for a fight.
Did I mention snakes at all? My bad!

NZers are weak - their most dangerous animal is what, sheep?

Tough or stupid, you decide.
The news is always full of volunteers for a Darwin Award in the summer months.
