Australia is on fire. Again. Happens every year around this time, but this year is worse. A lot worse, with smoke and haze covering large parts of the eastern seaboard. The effect of the fires can be felt in New Zealand where the smoke is causing blood red sunsets. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister of Australia has briefly offered a prayer in support. The deadly fires have killed hundreds of drop bears while scourging the countryside across several states.

They don't live on the land of Oz.
Very likely because the species is not venomous enough for the admission in the club of Australian fauna.

It wasn't just the lack of venom. They were very tasty.
