Some people would say that Australia is "the land where everything can kill you." Which is almost true it is the continent with crocodile, deadly jellyfish, great white sharks, dangerous spiders and twenty out of the twenty-five most venomous snakes. Some of the other animals are Cone shells, wombats, magpies, honey bees, kangaroos a wallabies.
Cone shell are pretty creatures that lure someone to pick them up, but the venomous gastropods produce neurotoxic peptides that cause pain, swelling, numbness and even death in humans. Wombats are furry marsupials that look very friendly but are not. They will attack humans. Magpies are birds that will fly down on peoples heads to protect young and they draw blood in the process. There has been cases when people have lost their eyes. Honey bees are another animal that is dangerous in Australia. Honey bees kill more people than the deadly spiders that live in Australia. This is because around three percent of people are allergic to the venom honey bees produce when they sting. Kangaroos and wallabies get in fights with humans and most of the time cars will hit the kangaroos.
