Deadly creatures? Oh come on...

I often hear that in Australia is home of many very poisonous species of animals. Like spiders and snakes.  Just  check out these babies. Or these uglies. Or these beauties

Anyway,  I'm sure you can find a lot of these if you take a good look on the internet. My advice: DON'T. It's a terrible wasted of time and it will freak you out for nothing.

Let me explain: There's a bigger change to be involved in a car accident than to meet any of Australia's deadliest animals.  The snakes appear seldom and antivenoms are widely spread. Sharks attack rarely in shallow waters.

FACTS:

1. Venomous spider bites no longer cause fatalities Australia – the last recorded death was in 1979.
2. Australian snakes behaviour has not evolved to targeting humans

Bottom line is that this is one of the worst excuses one can make to avoid Australia. 

Just getting very well informed and being prepared should be enough to keep you safe. But I think that applies to just about any aspect of life.

Laters,
