Australia is, without doubt, one of the places that I wish we'd visited when we were jaunting around - drat, drat! But then again, apparently you've got HUGE snakes there, Doug - eeeeeek!

Not really huge,but deadly,Mara. They dont bother you, unless you provoke them, or surprise them.Here is one that was caught in an Electiric fence, here recently, that was eating the new born Lambs.This is extremely rare.

I have seen that before - NICE

I have seen plenty that have half consumed humans in them too

I will remain in the most taxed country, we have snakes too but they mostly reside in government

OZ, is still the best Country,Dalo
You seldom see snakes.
When Mara told me, Brown Bears walk past her house in Canada,Daily,I was in shock to hear it.Such a potentially deadly wild animal outside your house.

What does worry me here, is in the Gardens in Sydney,we have deadly Funnel Web Spiders.They are aggressive, and can jump short distances.
I did post that Snake pic somewhere,previous,but what site escapes me.

What amazes me,is New Zealand hasn't any snakes.

Bears are very dangerous I agree - I would not like to end up being on the receiving end of a bear tearing my arm off and hitting me with the soggy end

LMAO
as for spiders and snakes for such small creatures they are hard to avoid most of the time - at least you can see bears.

**RandyL** · 09-02-2008, 09:15 AM

I would rather take my chances with a bear then a spider, bee or wasp. I'm extremely allergic to insect venom. Different creatures for different people.

Agreed.I would not like to meet a Bear,that's having a bad day.LOL
These are our 10 most deadly creatures,but rarely would come into contact with them,unless you went looking for them.
People over dramatize,but chances of being attacked are very rare.

Yeah they are all really bad - I read or watched on a geography channel or something that sea snakes are the most poisenous kind

Agreed in the fact that they are not just roaming about and you would be hard pressed to just see any near your house for example.
Still - there are animals in nearly every continent that can kill people, native or not they are there.

**Dalo Harkin** · 09-02-2008, 09:56 AM
