Australia is home to Earth’s deadliest snakes and spiders. So what’s the most fearsome critter?
No contest. This is Australia’s most lethal predator.
Always on the hunt for unprotected flesh.
So dangerous that people drive to the shops rather than risk their wrath.
Hide in their homes until they are gone.
Or wear cycle helmets to combat the threat.
Watch out for warning signs.
You'll see them in every city.
Do. Not. Eat. In. Their. Presence.
For the love of God, do not feed them!
If all else fails, attach a steel nut to a piece of string.
Actually, don't do that. Despite all the aggro, magpies are still our mates. And sometimes (particularly in a heatwave) we're all they've got.
