No, only the military is allowed guns.
However, not all weapons are guns.
Gotcha. :)
Very interesting. Do you know the name of the group?
No, not off the top of my head. If you want to find out, do a search for the SIL Ethnologue. It probably has the info you’re looking for.
There are at least 250 different language groups here.
They're in witness protection and have changed their name to New Guinea Pigs.....

I know what you want... but it doesn't work:
Interesting. Some folks apparently also think the Megalania may be alive.
I totally believe it still exists either on the Australian mainland or on some of the surrounding islands/archipelagos.
Predators are by their nature even at best of times sparsely populated and solitary. Even now I wonder about the big cats in North America, how they successfully maintain a population, with densities of one per square mile or even less...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thylacine
that extinct animal is a thylacine, a marsupial...
“...Thylacinus cynocephalus, Greek for “dog-headed pouched one”) was the largest known carnivorous marsupial of modern times. It is commonly known as the Tasmanian tiger (because of its striped back) or the Tasmanian wolf.[6] Native to continental Australia, Tasmania and New Guinea, it is thought to have become extinct in the 20th century. It was the last extant member of its family, Thylacinidae; specimens of other members of the family have been found in the fossil record dating back to the early Miocene...
I am so glad to read your post. One less worry off my mind.
But I hope you don't fear THIS tiger!
War Eagle!
Damn it!
They would have to actually be good at something. :)
No, I don’t fear Aubie.
You know, I gotta say,
It’s GREAT TO BE AN AUBURN TIGER!
War Eagle! Less than 73 days to go.
Exciting. Hope they still exist. They were wrongfully blamed for stock losses in Tasmania.
Recently a new large predator the Fosa was found somewhere, anyone remember that one. Also, I think in southern Australia, a 12,000 year old find of a not very sapien looking human was found called the Kow Marsh human. I saw one of their skulls in the new evolution exhibit at the Smithsonian identified as a homo sapien. I looked a lot more like a Heidelbergensis, not even a Neanderthal. If you go to to exhibit it is in the lower right hand corner of the wall of skulls.
thanks glee’.
Kow Swamp Archaeological Site
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kow_Swamp_Archaeological_Site
[snip] The Kow Swamp archaeological site comprises a series of late Pleistocene burials within the lunette of the eastern rim of a former lake known as Kow Swamp. The site is located 10 km south-east of Cohuna in the central Murray Valley, in northern Victoria... The site is significant for archaeological excavations by Alan Thorne between 1968 and 1972 which recovered the partial skeletal remains of more than 22 individuals. [/snip]
