Description

People who suddenly find themselves face to face with a snake are usually terrified. Snakes hiss, slither and inject venom, but they are also fascinating and thrilling – from a distance, of course!

Australia has some of the scariest animals in the world. They bite, they hiss and they leap out at you! Find out why they behave like this and what we are doing to make them so angry at us. Are they really as dangerous as we think, and why are we so scared of them?
