Killer Oz: The 50 Most Dangerous Australian Animals and Plants

By Australian Australian Geographic

Don't wander around Down Under without learning about the 50 most dangerous creatures that live here, from the scariest snakes and injury-causing insects to blood-curdling birds.

Our unique plants and animals are one of the many reasons people visit Australia. However, the country is also home to some of the most dangerous plants and animals in the world. Our deadliest animals often make the top lists owing to a combination of their venom and defensiveness, as well as their proximity to populated areas. On the face of it, plants may seem innocuous, but about 1000 species of plants in Australia are known to be toxic to animals and humans. Killer Oz is a full color pocket-sized guide with photography and maps that is also laminated and foldable, a must-have for your next trip Down Under.
