		<description>I loved Australia and just so everyone understands all countries have deadly animals some are worse than others just use common sense no matter where you are or plan to go . Animals only do what they are designed to do and we impose humans on them so we are the ones that need to be careful. Find thew beauty not the beast in all creatures</description>

		<description>Tip from the states! Anyone wishing to visit Australia who intends to go for a hike; please buy an Australian brand of toothpaste (because drop bears LOVE colgate) and rub some behind each ear. It&#039;s the only way to fend off these beasts.</description>

		<description>Its a completely joke to claim that australia has the worlds deadliest animals.... In fact I would even go as far as to say that they have some of the LEAST dangerous and most overated animals in the world. The so called deadly venomous animals of Australia cant even hold a candle to the deadly venomous animals of a place like India etc. If you Australia dolts actually did a little research and read some actual studies of venomous animal bites on humans you would know that your overrated animals are a joke and are not dangerous at all compared to Asian venomous animals etc.</description>

		<description>Sorry Miss you forgot the most dangerous animal in australia love is the Dingo,especially if your a baby which by the sounds of your article you wern&#039;t one that long ago.Otherwise if you did your homework you&#039;d find that we went through almost a 10yr period where we locked our babies in safes to keep them safe.</description>

		<description>I live in Queensland, even lived in North Queensland for a 7 years.  While I never took vinegar to the beach with me - it was supplied by the council/life savers.  You will usually find a bottle in a specially marked cyclinder on the beach for anyone to use.  

All it does is neutralise the stingers that may still be on your body, so you don&#039;t get re-stung - it DOESN&#039;T stop the toxin that has already entered your body - so you need to get medical help straight away.

And yes I have been stung by stingers at least 4 times (not any of the deadly ones obviously).  

Realistically wearing a stinger suit or NOT swimming during stinger season (between November and May) is the only thing to keep you safe and neither are foolproof.</description>

		<description>The pedipalps (appendage behind the head - I had to look this up) on that spider are so long I thought it had 10 legs.  And a 10-legged spider is 20% more scary than an 8-legged spider.</description>
