Clickbait Title, I'll confess. Australia has spiders, snakes, and other things that can harm, or kill you. You're more likely to die in a vehicular accident involving a kangaroo than to be TKO'ed by a boxing Kangaroo. I've gone through some photographs of wildlife I've taken that is native to Australia.
I don't think any of this stuff can kill you, unless you fashion it into a weapon. Except the first one...
This un-glamorous son of a bitch is an Emu. It'll try and kick your ass, but more likely, it'll run away.
This guy is a Short Beaked Echidna, and he eats ants. Those spikes on his back are for self protection and camouflage. You don't wanna tread on him.
This is a Corella. Their beaks are powerful enough to crack open Macadamia nuts. That's scary when you consider the fact that these birds flock by the hundreds. They also make an incredible racket as they migrate in said flocks.
I don't know what these guys are, but I'm pretty sure they're responsible for killing this poor, unfortunately located tree.
Disclaimer: I know nothing about the native wild life of Australia, just thought I'd share some photos from my collection and give my personal commentary. If you come to Australia, stay out of the water at the beaches, everything will try to kill you.
This has killed more tourists than every other Australian killer combined. :)

They're best as infants. I love that their spikes are called 'quills' which means that they're quite the creative writers.

I'll note the last part!
What could be worst? Maybe electric eel? Jellyfish?Whales? Sharks? Redfish?
I'll also try to not mess with Emu Eggs :D

I think I've seen similar jellyfish!
It was indeed causing rash and terrible itchiness. A friend of mine got a swollen eyes after swimming on the beach. So yeah, that time we were assuming he was in touch with a nasty jellyfish !

That's a standard jelly fish, you can find them all around the world for the most part. That box son of a bitch up there will kill you quicker than most can get out of the water! Still worth the risk though, the coral reef is amazing :D
