Who do you expect would have any experience in that territory?

I’m pretty sure it’s a trap. Don’t take the bait.
This is coming from an unqualified, non expert.

Not sure how it could be. No hippocampus in this view. The occiputal folds are clearly prominent in the picture:

Well duh!
Dr-GO, look where the brain's teeth are located.

I know about the extreme danger of the deadly Australian Salt Water Crocodiles, Jelly Fish, Sharks, Stone Fish, Cone Snails, Snakes, Spiders, Centipedes, Kangaroos, Cassowaries, and Australian heat, but what I am not clear on is, among the Carnivorous, Flesh Eating Drop Bears, Rugby Players, Russel Crowe, and Nicole Kidman, which is the most dangerous and deadly?
On the other hand, if I had to choose my means of exit from the above list, Nicole Kidman would be my choice.

Of course I have been to the Grand Canyon. I was a junior in High School at the time, so you could still jump across it.

I also saw the Pretty Good Salt Lake. I think the name is different now.

Did ya know the Sahara Desert was a lush golf course until I played through. Should 'a replaced my divots, I guess.

No, but if you hum a few bars I might be able to fake it.

@SSmith1226 some of the critters are selective Steve so you may have no say in the cause of your demise.

Take the saltwater crocodile for example. According to a tour guide in a recent trip to the Deep North, 80% of croc fatalities happen within 6 metres of the riverbank, 80% at dawn or dusk and 20% are German. This may be the reason for languages used on this sign (at the Port Douglas swimming beach!).
I will make no further comment...

If she is selective, I’m hoping that Nicole Kidman isn't following the lead of the crocodiles!!!
Here are a few photos I took, in Port Douglas during a 2015 visit including the warning sign
(not in German), carnivorous flesh eating Drop Bear, Cassowary, etc.7FF3E615-993D-4A2B-9223-FC53C0AC5BD0.jpeg

@SSmith1226 - did you run into Ms Kidman in PD? I don't think that she was there during my visit as there was no sign of her hubby Keith at either of the open mic sessions I attended (and what muso could resist a chance to play in tropical paradise ).
Were you up close and personal with the cassowary? Brave man!

Hi SSmith1226,
Is that a cassowary? Aren't they suppose to be dangerous?

Hi SSmith1226,

First to address the Cassowary: The Cassowary, as well as the Koala encounters were within the safety of the “Wildlife Habitat” of Port Douglas. No humans were harmed. The Cassowary is the most dangerous bird on this planet and could tear a person apart with its claws. Unfortunately this recently happened in Gainesville, Florida where a “pet” Cassowary killed its owner. It is also thought that Cassowaries are evolutionary descendants of Velociraptors.
As far as the Nicole Kidman encounter, I must not tell a lie. That occurred primarily in my imagination. I’m sorry to say that I never saw, or met Ms. Kidman The photo was “borrowed” from her Wikipedia Page. As we say in the United States, “You caught me with my pants down.”

Yikes!

This is not funny, per sub-forum, but interesting about: Cassowaries :

@Kehaulani "Poop is yet another item on the menu. Cassowary poop usually contains half-digested fruit, which still has plenty of nutritional value, so the birds devour each other’s droppings as well as their own." Amazingly similar to the a-little-humour forum, I'd say.

My cousin has a job where his crew works on punch lists for new homes. One recent occasion he had to secure someone to mow a section of lawn that was currently an eyesore. He asked his one employee who could communicate in Spanish to ask the young Spanish speaking man if he could do it. After showing the young fellow how the commercial mower worked for a few minutes, the young man said he was “listo” ( ready )
After about a half hour after watching the man mow, a supervisor came over and asked my cousin what was taking so long. He wasn’t happy. My cousin went to get a closer look. The mower was making laps and had been doing so all this time. The grass was the same as when he started! He didn’t realize he mower blades needed to be engaged in order to cut the grass. He was just going through the motions, like a car race.....

Yes. True story.

Here's a tip.
Surround your car with chicken wire.
It'll be impeccable.
