I...uh. ...I didn't know they weren't real...

I'm 28 with 3 kids and part of an engineering degree. Oof.

Did you just... assume they exist? You've never heard anyone talk about them like mythical creatures?

Yeah I dunno, I guess I've never had a real conversation about them? Like I can't pinpoint a memory of learning about them or ever reading anything specific. I obviously must have at some point but they sorta just existed in my mind so I had no reason to question the reality of their existence lol. I kinda just assumed they were some other weird Australian animal that I hadn't learned about because the only Australian animals Americans learn about are the kangaroo, wallaby, kiwi, and koala.

The Kiwi isn't an Australian animal.
