20 Animals That Will Make You Reconsider Vising Australia

When you think of Australia, amazing landscapes and cute animals usually come to mind. You’re not wrong about the country’s beauty, but Australia also has a reputation for being home to some of the most dangerous animals in the world.

The scariest part about the continent is its diversity when it comes to spiders, snakes and bats. Don’t believe us? Just take a look at this list of creepy animals from Australia.

20. Snakes Everywhere

A snake is not that scary if you see it in its natural habitat. However, things change dramatically when you see it in a clothing shop. Maybe the long guy was just looking for a change of style, but he was rudely kicked out of the shop.

19. Huge Bats

Some people find bats really cute and all for the right reasons. They look pretty harmless being so small and adorable. But this guy? This huge bat is absolutely terrifying. Fortunately, they only hunt insects and maybe rodents.

18. The Tree Lobster

Trust me, you don’t want to eat one of these guys. The species was believed to be extinct by 1920, but it was rediscovered in 2001. Where? Australia, of course. These stick insects are known to be the rarest insects in the world!

17. The Redback Spider

Even the name sounds a little scary, right? This spider is one of the most venomous spiders in Australia. But where does he like to live, you might wonder.

Well, he really enjoys living in close proximity to humans, often in places like sheds and garages.
