Man, the Australian ecosystem doesn’t do anything by halves. Everything is either the weirdest, most poisonous, or straight-up biggest version of itself. Right now they’re battling feral cats, but of course they can’t just be normal feral cats — they have to be 45-pound feral cats that can only be eradicated by specially trained dogs.

Somebody help me here. Does anyone know if this truly is so, or is this all satire? or the picture is just a Photoshop?

If there really are such huge cats like that Down Under, maybe we could ask them to capture them and send them into our inner city subways to get rid of the giant rats.
