6 Apex Predators That Would Take Over If North America And Australia Merged

The ecosystems of north America and Australia are very competitive but they are completely different to one another.
Australia has the reputation of being one of the deadliest countries in the world when it comes to wildlife, but this reputation is often exaggerated.
It has a large number of venomous snakes and spiders but these creatures will only bite if they feel threatened or if they're stood on.
Australia is only home to a small number of large land predators but of course it's a different story over in north America.
In today's video I will be comparing the ecosystems of north America and Australia, and I will be trying to predict which predators would come out on top if the two landmasses were to somehow merge
