Undoubtedly, Australia is one of the most beautiful countries. Residents of Australia know what places to bypass and how to behave in case of emergency, but an inexperienced tourist can pay for negligence with health or even life.
10. Crocodiles
Saltwater crocodile - the largest coastal predator in the country, and throughout the world. It feels quite comfortable not far from the tourist Australian coasts. If a person encounters this reptile, it will not be possible to avoid a fatal outcome - with a mass sometimes reaching 2 tons and a height of about 7 meters, the crocodile is still very agile and quick. According to statistics, about 40 people die every year from the teeth of a combed crocodile in Australia. It is suspected that during the Second World War, these predators killed about a thousand Japanese soldiers.
9. Spiders
Most poisonous spiders live in Australia. They strike not only with their large size and beautiful appearance, but also with dangerous bites. Spiders like the Black Widow and Atrax Robustus can even meet you at home when, for example, you dine with your Australian friends. You will recognize the black widow by the red speck on the back. From her bite, one can get a lifelong mental deterioration if one does not inject an antidote within an hour after the bite. And Atrax Robustus can even kill a person.
8. Python
Snakes in Australia are everywhere. They crawl along beaches, forests, climb into human houses and even cars. It is worth saying that Australian pythons do not attack humans unless absolutely necessary, except for self-defense. But an ordinary tourist who went to the toilet and saw a snake crawling out of the drain can try to defend himself from a shock or scream, which will frighten the python. The snake, in turn, will certainly attack, because it will decide that you are going to kill it.
7. Marble Snail
These huge snails seem to a person to be very pretty and completely harmless. However, in fact, it is one of the most poisonous predators in Australia. During the day, a marble snail is poured, buried in the sand. But at night she goes hunting. Such snails love to eat fish. With the help of the poison that is released from the teeth, they paralyze the prey and immediately swallow it. A person who strolls along the coast late in the evening or at the same time bathes in the ocean, may want to stroke a snail. The aggressive clam will immediately attack in response, and if an antidote is not introduced in the coming hours, the bite may end for the tourist.
6. Dingo dogs
The life story of this dog next to the Australians is very interesting and controversial. They say that Dingo used to be pets, but later went wild. The Australians of past centuries, in order to save their farm from the attacks of these dogs, decided to build a fence, which was equal to one third of the Chinese wall. Even now, fragments of this farmer-built fence can be seen. Dingos walk in packs, and a person who has met such a congregation of dogs may not have much to say hello.
5. Swarms of soft bodies
When these huge beetles gather in a giant congregation, an unprepared tourist can simply catch a blow, because the sight looks simply terrifying. Thousands of huge bugs crawling around - a common occurrence for the inhabitants of Australia, but not for visitors to the country. These beetles are predators, most often they attack smaller insects. However, if at least one such beetle clings to your leg or hand, then in addition to shock you will experience severe pain and can hardly open its tenacious jaws. Imagine what will happen if several representatives from a swarm of soft bodies try to bite you at once.
4. Gigantic earthworms and millipedes
At first glance at such worms, you can easily confuse them with snakes. These are so huge worms that their length reaches 3, or even 4 meters. They are absolutely harmless to humans, but they look truly frightening. A tourist from shock may try to kill such a creature, but this should never be done - these huge earthworms are carefully guarded by the state. An Australian millipede or scolopendra can be toxic to humans if it scares her. In the tropics of Australia, giant millipedes live, the bite of which can become fatal.
3. Sharks
Shark fins are sometimes seen with the naked eye directly from the beach. The attacks of these huge predators are daily reported in Australia's newspapers and magazines. Thousands of residents and tourists die from their teeth every year. Rest in certain areas is considered extreme due to the fact that sharks swim very close to the shore. And recently, these huge fish began to migrate even to rivers. To increase the circulation, some publications write that sharks specifically hunt people and swim ashore, but this is just a newspaper duck - sharks prefer to eat smaller fish and mammals.
2. Blue-Ringed Octopus
This octopus is quite small in size and has a beautiful coloring in the form of blue rings. Locals call them "small and remote." These octopuses are very aggressive, it is advisable to bypass them. If a curious person comes up to take a closer look at the unusual color, an animal that has a very aggressive character will certainly attack. The venom of one such small octopus can kill up to 30 adult men.
1. Ticks
Dangerous Australian ticks hide in the forests, camouflage themselves on the leaves of trees and plants and can wait a long time for their prey. Most often, knowledgeable Australians deftly avoid encounters with these poisonous creatures, but tourists who wander into the wild zone can very easily encounter a parasite. It is quite difficult to notice it in the first days, but after about four days the tick can increase as much as 400 times and turn into a large bladder with blood. His bite is toxic and requires an immediate visit to the doctor.
