The vast antipodean island is home to an impressive list of dangerous critters.

These include the Inland Taipan, box jellyfish, and Sydney Funnel-Web spider, along with dangerous marine life and large reptiles.

This unique diversity is linked to Australia's long period of isolation as a continent, allowing these potentially lethal species to evolve.

While Australia is known for venomous creatures, other continents also have dangerous wildlife.

For example, Africa is home to powerful animals like African wild elephants and other dangerous wild animals.

Despite the presence of dangerous and venomous species, the chances of being seriously harmed are slim.

Those who get harmed tend to be people who are involved in activities like farming, or who deliberately handle or provoke the animals.
