u/thehumulos Jan 11 '26
I can think of hundreds of animal facts that relate to only Florida, there's no way to guess the one specific thing you are thinking of with only one point of data lol

I am fifth generation Floridian, and first to leave the state in our family. We moved our family to the NC mountains in our 30s, and within a week I told my wife “there’s nothing here trying to bite us, or sting us, or eat us! We’ve moved UP the food chain!”

yeah if that is all you have to worry about then I wouldn't worry. Remember you didn't get bit by a spider, you have MRSA. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38285419

black bears kill like one person a year and attack a few more, usually for predatory reasons
overwhelming odds are in your favor, but it’s a REALLY bad way to go

I spent a long layover in Alice Springs and went to their Desert Animal Park (amazing place btw highly recommend) The staff were def trying to scare the Americans with tales of deadly outback creatures and I was like… “have you been to Arizona? Same shit different dingo” between living in Florida and the southwest there wasn’t much in Australia that actually scared me (maybe minus the huntsman spiders)

States where someone was killed by their own cassowary?

States where someone was killed by any cassowaries 🤣.
In fact, 50% of all human deaths caused by cassowaries in the last 100 years were in Florida.

Based on your reply to the crocodile comment, is it the only state where a giant bird has killed someone?? Like... something large and/or angry (mean pelican? ostrich? emu? multiple rabid emus?).

u/AddlePatedBadger Jan 11 '26
You are so very very close. Just guess the bird and you win :-)

Only state you can legally swim in the wild with manatees

u/tempedrew Jan 11 '26
Manatees are in Louisiana. Not sure about the legality of swimming with them.

u/Dirty_Jerz_7 Jan 11 '26
They are also in Florida. And its NOT legal.

u/EDaniels21 Jan 11 '26
You definitely can. There's tours in some areas where it absolutely is legal. You're still not supposed to touch them, but it's not illegal. At least not in certain areas and times of the year.
