Tiger Snake:Named “tiger snake” because of their prominent black and yellow stripes along their body, this large species of snake is just as feared.

Tiger Sharks:Their appetite and lack of “choosiness” when it comes to what they eat makes these oceanic predators a threat to beachgoers and swimmers.

Redback Spiders:Redback spiders can live inside buildings but are also found in the environment living under rocks, logs, or debris.

Kangaroos:Almost a mascot of Australia, kangaroos are mostly shy and timid creatures. There are four species of kangaroos, all of which inhabit Australia.

Great White Sharks:They are fast and powerful ambush predators that emerge from seemingly out of nowhere to attack their prey from below.

Eastern Brown Snake:The Eastern brown snake is present almost everywhere in Australia and in most ecological habitats.

Copperhead Snake:The highlands and lowlands copperheads aren’t very aggressive and will prefer to flatten their bodies and hiss at intruders instead of immediately attacking.

Bronze Whaler:This can cause issues with spearfishers with recent catches, as fish in distress or fresh catches will attract these sharks (and others).

Blue-ringed Octopus:Blue-ringed octopodes live along the southern coastline of Victoria and are amongst the most toxic animals in the ocean.

Australian Magpies:What might come as a surprise to you is one of Victoria’s most dangerous animals is a 15-inch-long bird
