Australia Is Famous For All Of Its Dangerous Animals That Are Completely Savage

by Rachel

As an Australian, I am incredibly familiar with hearing people say, “Oh, I'd love to travel to Australia, but I couldn’t deal with all the deadly wildlife! There must be snakes everywhere!” To which I always reply, “It isn’t that bad! I’ve never seen a snake and spiders mostly stay away—in the cities, anyway.”

But then I see photos like this and immediately want to move overseas. Australia is famous for all of its snakes, spiders, crocodiles and other assorted creatures that could cause serious damage just by looking at them. I feel as though you’d have to be incredible unlucky to come across many of these; but if Australia ever decides to stop tourism, showing these photos will be enough to do it.

Check out this giant termite mound!

I was beginning to wonder how it got there, but I think some things are better off remaining mysteries.

Hopefully you fill up the car before you notice the snake for a quick getaway
