Amazing Australia. Best place on the globe for venomous animals... especially brought in light by human (white) casualties.

My three favorites ones:

Hapalochlaena lunulata:

Atrax robustus and Ixodes sp.:

Do you think that native aborigenes were immunised against or at lest less affected by these natural toxins? Playing Didjeridoo before getting sleep get snakes away?
