Living in Australia can be a little dangerous,We have many venomous
creatures big and small,on the land and in the sea.
We have 61 venomous snakes (23 of these are sea snakes).
We have 22 spiders,scorpions,wasps,the famous honey bee,ants,millipedes ,centipedes,sandflies,marchflies,mosquitoes,caterpillars {yes the humble caterpillar}.
We have some cute and cuddly creatures which could do a lot of dammage as for example the most famous koala bear,which has claws that will cause a nasty gash / cut if it scratched you.The other is the Platypus which has a venomous defence and The kangaroo can kill very easly with its large claw.
In the ocean waters we have many nasties, there are blue-ringed octopus,blue bottles ,stonefish,jellyfish,stingrays,saltwater croc's and sharks
So as you can see we aussies have a dangerous place to live in but compaired to the amount of people killed by any of the above it is a lot more dangerous to fly or even drive a car so don''t let this scare you just continue and learn with me.
