Snakes, lizards, and crocodiles are reptiles that like to live in the warm climate of Australia. Crocodiles live in rivers in the north. Snakes mostly poisonous live nearly everywhere in Australia. More than 500 different kinds of lizards live in Australia. Some look scary but none are poisonous. The frill necked lizard tries to look bigger to frighten its enemies. It shows its frill stands on its hind legs and hisses. The Australian taipan is one of the most poisonous snakes in the world.
Australian dangerous animals include poisonous spiders. The funnel web spider and the red back spider both have poisonous fangs but they catch their food using their web. A bit from the funnel web spider can kill a person if they don’t receive an antidote quickly. The dingo is a wild dog and is Australia’s largest predator. Dingoes hunt and eat wallabies, young kangaroos, and sheep. The Tasmanian devil is a carnivorous marsupial cat. It lives in caves on the island of Tasmania.
The Tasmanian devil uses its strong teeth and jaws to crush small animals. It eats everything – fur, feathers and bone. Fierce Tasmanian devils even eat dead animals.
