Yes, the venomous North American Elk and infamous Poison-clawed Grizzly Bear populations have been soaring past few years.

If unicorns existed, they would be Australian and the horn would be the most deadly venomous thing on Earth.

There's a recent gif on here about someone screaming at tourists to get away from wild deer because that deer will beat them to death. Your PREY animals are deadly

We do have some pretty venomous and aggressive snakes though. But mostly it's the things in the water that are the problem. Sharks, box jellyfish, Irukandji (which is a very small and deadly jellyfish), water snakes and the blue ring octopus. The platypus has a venomous spike under it's flipper. Our bats were killing people by transferring Nipah virus to humans via horses long before COVID was invented.

Sure, but if you sleep out in the bush you have to make sure to keep your tent tight otherwise they crawl up your urethra.

I hate snakes and spiders. That’s why I live where the wind hurts my face.

Florida has three types of rattlesnake, water moccasins (cottonmouths, coral snakes, copperhead, and now, sea snakes). There are also alligators, fire ants, black widow spiders, various types of dangerous caterpillars, wasps and hornets and even African honey bees, and mosquitoes (which carry a range of diseases), Portuguese Man o’ war and other jelly fish, sharks, barracuda, stingrays, lionfish, and more.

A kid in my school lost an arm to an alligator attack in Oscar Scherer State Park.

We've just got bears and moose. Feels more authentic to get brutally murdered by something much larger and stronger than you. A black widow is just a venomous tictac with 8 legs that will body you.

Here in Western Australia we have dugites ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dugite ) but after 24 years living here, I've never seen one outside a zoo. When living in NSW for almost 20 years only encountered snakes 3 or 4 times. Largely depends on where you live. They don't like lots of noise/vibrations.

Never seen one really? I'm surprised! Admittedly I've been here much longer than 24 years but I've seen at least 5 that I remember - mostly in urban areas. That includes one baby dugite that my mother found in our backyard, caught and kept in a jar until we got home from school so that she could show us. We'd only been in Australia for a few years by this stage but school had taught me what the babies look like so I knew but mum didn't. (we took it to a nearby scrubland and let it go)

Nope, haven't seen one. Red backs and other spiders (some really big garden spiders and golden orb) but no snakes at all. I came across a couple of Funnel Web spiders in NSW

Well if you're in the Perth area I can recommend the dog beach just south of Scarborough beach, they're easy to see when they're on the sand. Morning is the best time I suspect, just as they are warming up and still a bit soporific. I've even seen one at the water's edge, apparently getting a drink of the salt water! At their worst they aren't as aggressive as their Eastern cousins so you just need to stand back a little and let them go about their business (and keep your dog under control)

That's actually a true thing. I can remember my mum drilling that into me after she found me playing with a nest of redbacks behind the garage door.

Imagine a black widow (same family), that has decided sticking to bugs is for chumps, and is known for catching and eating small lizards and other animals in their webs?
