When I was a little kid, my family lived briefly in tropical Australia. Before we moved, a local said "There are 210 different kinds of snakes where you are moving. But don't worry, only 95 are poisonous." The public beaches had nets in the water due to sharks and the place was home to flying foxes (the largest bat), cat killing birds and varieties of lizards. I had lived my whole life in Wisconsin where you get excited if you see a groundhog. After seing a picture of a rural Wisconsin farm house covered in snow, the local kids though I came from the exotic place.
