Funnel Web Spider

Wouldn’t it be great to be able to walk openly without fear? With anyone like Spiderman by your side, a walk is never frightening. Only in comic books. Spiders are in abundance in Australia, and not all of them are friendly. The funnel-web spider is one of the most venomous on Earth. Bites from them won’t transform you into a superhero but might quickly turn you into an angel of heaven.

Saltwater Crocodiles

In Northern Australia, in swamps, ponds, and estuaries, saltwater crocodiles lurk and definitely govern. Yeah, of course, if they were ferocious, massive (males can exceed 4400 pounds and be over 20 feet long), and swift hunters, they’d rule. They are not even picky eaters and can munch on everything they can get their sharp 64-68 teeth in. Humans are not spared. Do not fail to note the scariest part.
