A certain type bulldog ant can kill a man in 15 minutes with their venom/toxin/whatever. They grip onto the skin and sting repeatedly as to ensure maximum venom ownage.

Aren't you glad you don't live in Australia? Please have sympathy for me.

OK, Australia is just terrifying. Irukandi, blue ringed octopus...too many tiny things that can kill you.

Nature specials are always fun because they make you believe that everything on the planet is out to kill you. If we're to go by nature specials, rain forests will kill you if you look at them funny.

Yeah. Let's burn the bastards down! Oh, wait....

Aw man. You are so screwed now. The rain forests totally heard that.

Also, yes, completely terrified of Australia.

I do. (Have sympathy, not live in Australia.)

Though I never understood why a country with giant blue earthworms, a truckload of venomous snakes, anaphylaxis-causing ants, a silly and harmless-looking duck-billed critter that's hiding venomous spurs, and sharks had to invent drop bears to scare the tourists. Who would look over the millions of avenues of death your island/continent nation provides naturally and say "You know what this place needs? Mutant killer teddy bears!" ?

Science. Serious business. It's always nice to have science on your side.
