For example, if we start watching a new TV show, half way through the first episode my wife will be like "What are you doing on your phone?" and I'll be like "Oh nothing... just looking up every single actor in this show and looking at everything else they've ever been in...". Or to use another example... I now know 100% more about the location, climate and wildlife of Nebraska than I did before this thread .

Anyway, my point is that some people are not that way inclined and do operate on certain presumptions - e.g. that if they go to a resort run by a major company, it will be "safe". Where there are obvious risks like this, that not everyone will know of, I think there should probably not only be signs but prominent information pamphlets in each hotel room briefly outlining any "local dangers" that wouldn't be a concern everywhere. You don't need to tell people that they might drown in deep water, or be hit by a car crossing the road, because those things are universal... but things like dangerous wildlife is probably worth a heads-up.

This is a man made Disney Beach at a cuddly Disney resort I think most people will make themselves aware of risks if they go to a new country, but in a situation like this where nature has been tampered with especially by the child friendly Disney brand there were no warning signs it's criminal
