From Crocs to Crime: How Australia’s Wildlife Would Fit Into Mort’s World

When you think about Mortice in America, it’s all about high-stakes action, covert missions, and bad guys getting what’s coming to them. But what if Mort found himself in the wilds of Australia instead of on the mean streets? Forget about dodging bullets—imagine Mort navigating the dangers of Australia’s wildlife. Because, let’s be honest, nothing says “tough day at the office” like a close encounter with a saltwater crocodile.

Australia isn’t just known for its beaches and Outback—oh no, mate, we’ve got some of the most fearsome creatures this side of the equator. And if Mort was sent to the real Down Under, he’d be dealing with more than just criminals. Let’s take a walk through the wild world of Australian fauna and see how they’d fit into Mort’s action-packed life.

Crocs: The Original Undercover Villains

Saltwater crocadiles are the ultimate ambush predators, waiting just below the surface before striking at the right moment. Sound familiar? In Mort’s world, criminals might try to pull the same trick—lay low, stay unseen, and attack when least expected. But just like a croc lurking in the mangroves, these guys have no idea Mort’s onto them.

Picture this: Mort, knee-deep in the muddy waters of the Northern Territory, on the trail of a criminal hiding out in croc-infested territory. A saltwater croc glides by, and with the calm precision only Mort could manage, he sidesteps the croc and takes down his target without breaking a sweat. The croc, sensing Mort’s got this, slinks back into the water. Crisis averted.

Kangaroos: More Than Just Cute Faces

Kangaroos might look harmless, but anyone who’s seen a roo stand tall and flex those biceps knows that these guys are built for action. Mort, always the no-nonsense type, would probably respect the roo’s ability to handle a brawl. Imagine Mort taking on a group of henchmen in the Outback when, out of nowhere, a rogue roo gets involved. It’s a standoff: Mort vs. the roo. They both exchange a knowing nod, like two fighters in a ring, and just when you think it’s about to kick off, the roo hops away. Respect, mate.

Kangaroos are the ultimate example of Aussie toughness—adaptable, strong, and quick on their feet. Just like Mort.

Spiders: The Silent Stalkers

Now, let’s talk about Australia’s eight-legged assassins. While most Aussies know to keep an eye out for redbacks and funnel webs, Mort would have no trouble handling these silent stalkers. Spiders are patient, waiting for the right moment to strike. And if there’s one thing Mort knows, it’s how to bide his time and wait for the perfect opportunity to pounce.

In Mort’s world, patience is everything. Picture him lying in wait, much like a spider spinning its web, as he plans the perfect takedown of his enemies. His ability to blend into the background, unnoticed until it’s too late, makes him the human equivalent of Australia’s sneakiest spiders. Only Mort’s sting doesn’t come with venom—it’s pure justice.

Emus: The Unexpected Menace

Emus are Australia’s version of a wild card. They’re fast, unpredictable, and—if history teaches us anything—unwinnable. (Google the Great Emu War if you don’t believe me.) Imagine Mort chasing down a criminal through the Outback, only to find an emu blocking his path, head held high and legs ready to bolt.

Mort’s good, but an emu? They’re in a league of their own. After a moment of mutual understanding, Mort lets the emu do its thing, knowing full well that chasing down an emu is a losing battle. Even Mort’s not that crazy.

Dingoes: The Lone Wolves

Dingoes are the ultimate survivors. They’re smart, cunning, and can handle themselves in tough situations—just like Mort. A lone dingo prowling the Outback, silent and calculating, is exactly how I picture Mort when he’s closing in on a target. The dingo doesn’t need a pack to survive, and neither does Mort. He’s a lone wolf in a world full of predators, always one step ahead of the pack.

Imagine Mort navigating the red deserts of Australia, tracking a criminal who thinks they can outsmart him. But like the dingo, Mort is a master of survival, and his instincts will always lead him to his target. One quiet move, and the hunt is over. The dingo watches from a distance, impressed.

Snakes: Lethal, but Not Always Seen

Australia’s got some of the deadliest snakes in the world. Taipans, brown snakes, you name it—we’ve got it. These cold-blooded killers strike fast and leave no room for error. And while Mort’s more about calculated takedowns, there’s something about a snake’s efficiency that he’d appreciate. Quick, lethal, and no wasted movement—that’s how Mort operates.

But here’s the thing about Mort—he’s the guy who knows how to avoid a snake’s strike. He’ll read the situation, sidestep the danger, and move in for the final blow. Snakes might be lethal, but Mort is always one step ahead, ready to outsmart even nature’s deadliest predators.

Koalas: The Laid-Back Sidekicks

Okay, I know what you’re thinking. Koalas? Really? But hear me out. Koalas are the ultimate laid-back sidekick. Imagine Mort after a particularly tough mission, kicking back under a eucalyptus tree, while a koala lazily watches from the branches above. They’ve got that “no worries” vibe that even Mort, in all his serious glory, could use once in a while.

Besides, who wouldn’t want a koala as a mascot after a long day of taking down criminals? It’s the perfect contrast to Mort’s action-packed lifestyle—a reminder that even heroes need a breather sometimes.

Final Thoughts: Mort vs. Australia’s Wildest

Australia’s wildlife is as fierce, unpredictable, and iconic as Mort himself. From crocs to kangaroos, spiders to emus, our creatures know how to handle themselves in the wild—just like Mort does when he’s outsmarting the bad guys. If Mort ever finds himself facing off against the wilds of Australia, I’d bet on him. But even Mort might admit—taking on our wildlife is a whole new level of hard yakka.
