This is actually a myth, it's true that the Crock, snake, insect, jellyfish etc will heal you on sight but some indigenous koala bears and wallabies can actually take down a pack of wild anti-stralian hamsters.
Probably the most concerning thing is that they flipped Africa. That comes with a lot negative implications for it's 1.5B human residents, even if they got adequate forewarning and the process was slow and gentle.
Sometime this year, there was an interesting article about African governments premiering an altered sphere projection map of the world that more accurately showcases how much of Earth’s landmass is in Africa, rather than Russian/US/Europe regions.
They even pointed out it has social implications towards how much aid Africans get.
I kinda assumed people would stay with their land, so now that Florida shares a border with China, I'm imagining Chinese news outlets reporting all kinds of "Florida man" stories.
To me, it looks like Hawaii didn't move, and that New Zealand and Japan swapped places. Admittedly, that could be speculative. There's a good chance that New Zealand doesn't exist, because a lot of maps don't show it.
This is what having dementia feels like.
Imagine every world map suddenly looking like this, and people not understanding why you're confused about it.

Thanks for the info, we're gonna have to import some of that fauna to Prostralia, hopefully that'll help with their prostate issues..
