All the Wildlife Can Kill You
Australia is a unique place because unlike most other countries in the world, the majority of its mammal and amphibian species are not found anywhere else in the world. Although the country has more venomous snake species than non-venomous ones, Australian wildlife isn’t all dangerous and scary. The Indigenous Australians survived for more than 40,000 years by being aware of what species were poisonous, and hunting only what would nourish them.
However, if you’re arachnophobic, Australia probably isn’t the place for you. Don’t look up what a wolf spider is — you’ll regret it.
