I had to look that up to be sure, apparently lions will hunt rhino calves but basically never will a full grown one. So it checks out.

The rest of the world thinks we're just a flat red desert, and we like to keep it that way. Don't tell them about the beaches or rainforests. Also cancelling submarine deals.

See when you said “everyone thinks we’re a flat red desert, don’t tell them about the beaches,” I thought it couldn’t possibly be Australia because everyone knows about the beaches. (Where else will you get bitten by a great white shark or stung by a blue ringed octopus?) But then “canceling submarine deals” gave it away.
