15 Most Dangerous Creatures in Australia

Having been separated from other landmasses around the world for many millennia, life in Australia has evolved along a separate path. This is what has led to the country being home to countless stunning and wonderful animals, but is also why it’s where you’ll find some of the deadliest and most horrifying ones too. Stop watching now if you plan on visiting the land down under anytime soon, as it’s time to meet the 15 most dangerous creatures in Australia.

[@Evelyne277]

You missed out on the Eastern Brown. Reason why it should've been included is because it's the 2nd most venomous snake in Australia and the world but the biggest reason is because it's readily found in civilised parts so it's very much in contact with humans. It's also more willing to face threats than to shy away and escape and they very rarely if ever deliver a dry bite.

[@somerandom2343]

True, the eastern brown snake is considered to be the most deadly snake in Australia, due to how common it interacts with humans and domestic pets and how common bites happen.

[@brontewcat]

I have read the the eastern brown is actually often give a dry bite.

[@somerandom2343]

@@brontewcat a lot of snakes can dry bite, but just think of it this way 3 quarter's of all snake bites and death in Australia over a 10 year period were by the eastern brown snake. On top of that Australia has a large number of venomous snakes and a lot of them come in contact with humans on a regular basis, all of them more than the Inland taipan.

[@shannonkeys8594]

Inland taipan number 1

[@somerandom2343]

@@shannonkeys8594 Inland taipan is the world's most venomous, but isn't Australia's most dangerous. As the criteria to determining the most dangerous, is how likely people come across the snake, and how often people get bitten. The eastern brown snake is Australia's most dangerous snake, the Inland taipan is rarely encountered by humans.

You forgot the white tailed spider. If bitten the venom can cause the flesh to rot and people have lost limbs as a result of needing to have amputation to prevent death.

I have killed quite a few at my place over the years. Sometimes they do not have the white tail.

[@Taiya-711]

[@JamieRamsay]

I lived up between Cairns and Townsville for a few years , we had some bad flooding one year along with cyclone Yassi not long after , I saw a few big saltwater crocs swimming around in the floodwater not far from our house. needless to say walking through flood water up there is never a good idea. I was surprised you didn't mention The Eastern brown snake. it kills more people than the taipan, we have lots of them around here where i live now. out of all our snakes they worry me the most.

[@jradfole93]

[@JamieRamsay]

@@dashalovesmusic I don't have any video of them from the floods but we saw the crocs everyday, besides them swimming around in the flood water, they used to sunbake along the river banks and they also used to live in dams and ponds , pretty much anywhere there was enough water for them to hide in. i saw all sizes from babies a few feet long but crocs around 10 to 12 feet in length were quite common and i did see a few around that must have been closer to 15 feet long. when i moved back down south were there are no crocs it took a few years for me to be happy near rivers again as being on the watch out for them gets burned into your mind.

[@rustymotor]

Grown up and living in the Outback I have had a few encounters with Snakes, the Snakes are generally timid and do their jolly best to avoid people and the Inland Taipan has a fairly placid temperament. However its always best to not muck around with Snakes, most of Australia’s animals are not the average petting Zoo variety.

[@brettrobson5739]

Got bitten by a Redback when I was six. Made me rather ill but didn't kill me. Strangely enough, most Redback bites happen in the same environment - outside toilets. I've also been in the water with several of these sharks. Never seem a funnel web even though I live in the area they live. Killed the odd snake. That's life in Australia!

[@Reddzion]

a croc would purposely eat a person, however sharks do not, death by sharks is very rare to be honest and those deaths is due to mostly blood loss, or infection from the death. Death by crocs also very rare, 99% of people stay away from them.

[@nickhand8054]

I've lived in Australia my entire life and, having been in the army and now living in the Outback, working outdoors as a tour guide, I'd probably be in more danger from these critters than most Australians. And do you know how many times I've been bitten by a snake? Once. A non-venomous one. I was picking it up to show off to my passengers on a tour. How many times have I been bitten by a spider? Never. Attacked by a shark or a crocodile? Nil, zip, zero. Use your commonsense with these things and they won't harm you.

[@billythekid2281]

My Stepdad almost died from a mouse spider. It bit him multiple times on the thigh while he was sleeping off a few beers on a couch on a verandah , on a farm in NSW. My dog almost died from a paralysis tick. Even after multiple trips to the vet, and the vet telling us she can’t walk because both of her back leg tendons are broken and she needs a $10,000 operation. Nothing wrong with her tendons. It was a tick. And I have been bitten twice by Jack Jumpers and have had an allergic reaction. The second time worse than the first. Don’t be complacent and think it will never happen.

Most Australians don’t even know that the Mouse Spider exists. They are very reclusive and passive. Dangerous if encountered, yes. Also the Cone snail is one no one sees unless snorkelling. And only in specific areas. So overall, not a big issue. Either of these should be replaced with the Brown Snake. Every Australian knows and is cautious of Brown Snakes. Anyone who lives outside of the inner urban areas of large cities has seen one (or dozens) and tried to avoid it. And they are in the top five most venomous snakes in the world. This is by far the one dangerous Australian animal that is most likely to bite a human. Yes bites are not fatal unless the person is young or frail and cannot get to medical treatment, but they are the most common type of snake bite in the country.
