If you’re an avid traveler, I know you’ve probably added Australia to the list of places you want to visit ...only if you haven’t visited yet! But I also know a lot of you are probably scared of visiting this massive country due to the bad reputation of a lot of the animals that live there. After all, a lot of the animals that live in Australia are quite unique to this part of the world, and inexperienced visitors might find a lot of these creatures to be frightening and intimidating. Today we’ll be looking at “10 of the Most Dangerous Animals In Australia” so you all can learn more about these animals and know what to do if you ever see one of these. Stay with me all the way to number one and learn the truth about the most dangerous animal in Australia.

Are you ready for these animals? Here we go…

Sydney Funnel Web Spider

With a size as small as 5 centimeters, this little spider likes to hide in cool, humid environments. That includes rocks, logs and...your shoes! So if you plan a visit to Australia, make sure you always check your shoes before you put them on. It is known that these spiders love to make a home inside your house if the weather outside is too hot. And if you're one of those that like to spray threatening animals with water, I must warn you that such a tactic will not work - and you shouldn't try that anyway, cause that's evil! But anyway, these spiders can survive underwater for a long time just by catching air bubbles right next to their skin. For that reason, don't be surprised if you find one of them at the bottom of a swimming pool...alive! A bite of this spider will cause a lot of pain and it could even kill you but hey, don't worry! There's antivenom that can help you in the case of such an emergency. Well, that's a relief, isn't it?

Great White Shark

One of Australia's main attractions are its beautiful beaches. Surrounded by the ocean and the largest coral reef, this country welcomes lots of beach enthusiasts that are ready to swim, surf or just chill by the water and have a good time. But even the fun places in Australia come with dangerous animals. A swim or a surfing session in the wrong spot can easily turn into a scene out of Jaws as the Great White Shark makes its way through the ocean while everyone tries to run out of the water. But, we should make one thing clear: Hollywood hasn't made justice to sharks. Sure, they're dangerous and they have caused some fatalities, but they're not necessarily man-eaters. When it comes to humans and great white sharks, there are only 5 deadly encounters per year around the world. A lot of times, the innocent sharks mistake surfers for sea lions, but trust me, they wouldn't attack them if they knew it's just a human trying to stand on a surfboard. So, don't let the sharks keep you from enjoying the beach, just make sure you keep an eye on your surroundings.

Tiger Snake

A lot of times, when I talk about snakes, I try to keep you calm and reassure you that snakes are not likely to hurt you. But when it comes to brown snakes in Australia, I can't easily say the same. I have a few snakes on this list, and the first one is the tiger snake, a reptile found in the southern part of the country, including coastal islands like Tasmania. They get their name from the fact that a lot of them have banded colors on their skin, just like a tiger. Their venom is filled with neurotoxins, coagulants, hemolysins, and mycotoxins. But what does that mean? what can that cause? Their bite can produce symptoms such as tingling, numbness, sweating and localized pain around your foot and your neck.

Brown Snake

And again, another snake on this list, and if you were scared by the Tiger Snake, wait until you hear about this one. Brown snakes are the second most venomous terrestrial snake in the world! In the case of Australia, they are responsible for snake bite deaths more than any other snake in the country. There were 19 snake bite related deaths in the decade between 2005 and 2015, and 15 of those deaths were caused by a brown snake.

Blue-ringed Octopus

And here's another animal that also lives underwater: the blue-ringed octopus. This one won't be as hard to spot as the stonefish.
