“Everything in Australia wants to kill you”, Yeah that’s right! Australian soil is having a bad reputation for it’s creepiest and deadliest critters.
Either we talk about Irukandji jellyfish, Bull shark, Saltwater crocodile, or Sydney funnel web spider. But let’s just not talk about these creepy monsters, Or, rather, talk about most dangerous one of them: The Western Brown snake.
Also known as Gwardar, this deadly critter delivers a bite with three times as much venom as his cousin-the Eastern Brown snake, which can end up fatally. Yet this little boy, who is only six-years-old, survived two strikes of this venomous creature with a gap of 1 week.
