Australia's Deadliest Animals

Bicyclecamper · Guru

Iwas attacked by a microbat, it tried ever so hard to get inside my sloppy jo, head piece, during a sunny day, I was bitten, went to hospital, kept in overnite, during the hendra virus scare, luckily no infection, so it should include bats.

This video may interest some. it's a 16 minute 'Ted Talk' on Australian snakes given by a friend of ours, Dr Christina Zdnenek - one of Australia's leading toxicologists. She is in charge of a department dealing with venom from all sorts of creatures at the University of Qld. (She is also the world's leading authority on Palm ****atoos). In this talk she tells why in Australia we are lucky to have the types of venomous snakes which other countries don't have, giving explanation as to why not a single snake made that top 10 list of our deadliest animals. She is a bit nervous 'on stage' which is surprising as in everyday life she is like a female version of Steve Irwin! A different person when dressed in her usual khaki!

Yes and unfortunately it could even be your next door neighbour. Just don't go peeping over the fence or you could be on his next hit list

There might be one you forgot, albeit it is on its way to extinction.
The mob who invented Robodebt and cause people to the tune of 2030 (ABC stats) to
take their own lives.
Just thought it was worth a mention and not to forget those poor souls.
