"Australia has a global reputation as a land full of danger, where seemingly
everything is out to kill you. Crocodiles lurk in estuaries, large spiders hide
in bathrooms, and we share our suburbs with some of the world’s most venomous
snakes.
Snakes hold a particular fear and fascination for many people. The bite of an
eastern brown snake can kill an adult in under an hour. And that’s just one of
more than 150 venomous snakes inhabiting the island continent across land and
sea. Australian snakes are well and truly overrepresented out of the world’s
top 25 most venomous snakes.
Terrifying, right? Not quite. Australians are actually extremely lucky when it
comes to snakes. Here are seven reasons why."
