From enormously big spiders to deadly venomous snakes, ferocious crocodiles, octopuses, and disgustingly overgrown earthworms, the Great Southern Land seems to have it all when it comes to nightmare fuel and creepy crawlies. We can probably all agree that some Australian animals look absolutely terrifying, but how dangerous are they really?

Believe It Or Not, This Is One Of The Least Dangerous Spiders We Have In Australia

Woman holding a massive spider in her hands

This is the huntsman spider, a common friend to be found in houses and garden across Australia. He's harmless really, don't let his large size intimidate you. Huntsmen won't bite humans unless provoked, are not venomous and are actually handy to have around the place, he'll use his speed and agility to keep your cockroach population under control.
Think of the huntsman as a handy pet. Respect his space, let him do his job and he'll look after you well.

The shed on the ranch in New Mexico I lived on had a bunch of funny black spiders that used their webs as trampolines to launch themselves at you if you annoyed them enough. Growing up with snakes in your windowsills every morning, scorpions in your shoes, tarantulas cruising past you when you were playing outside, horny toads spitting at you..... they were funny black spiders. I was in my mid 20's before I realized that when I was bored one of the things I would do was tease a shed full of black widows.... for fun... I am seriously amazed I'm alive and never got bit.

If poisonous snakes don’t cause you to scream and panic, then what about spiders? More than 2,400 different species of arachnids call the Land Down Under their home.

Among them is the deadly Sydney funnel-web spider, which can end a person’s life within 15 minutes of biting them. This spider always gets into the top lists of the world’s deadliest arachnids and doesn’t mess around: if you see one, nope, right out of there!

That’s not to say that every single spider you encounter abroad is going to be a threat to you. Fortunately, less than 50 Australian spider species pose a threat to people. Let’s also not forget that most spiders are our friends and help keep the native insect population down.

Obviously, these tidbits of good news won’t really make Australia’s spiders any less scary to look at. Anyone with arachnophobia should probably still avoid Australia until they get over their fear of spiders and travel elsewhere for their summer vacation.

What is Australia’s Deadliest Animal?

It might come as a surprise, but Australia’s deadliest animal isn't one of its many venomous creatures. Forget the spine-chilling spiders or the fearsome crocodile. According to the NCIS (National Coronial Information System), the title of Australia’s deadliest animal goes to a far more familiar creature: the horse.

In the wild and rugged landscapes of Australia, where one might expect the most danger to come from its notorious wildlife, it’s actually horses, ponies, and donkeys that pose the greatest risk. From 2001 to 2017, horses have been responsible for the highest number of animal-related deaths in Australia, with 172 fatalities, mostly due to falls.

Cows and other bovine animals also rank high on the list, with 82 reported deaths for the same period of time, mainly through accidents rather than direct attacks. Even our loyal companions, dogs, hold a surprising rank as the third leading cause of animal-related fatalities, responsible for 53 deaths. Most victims were children and elderly people.

Meanwhile, creatures like snakes and spiders, while dangerous sometimes, have caused far fewer fatalities than one might expect.

SkyNews reported 3 shark-caused fatalities in South Australia in 2023. This number is notable as there were only 8 deaths in the previous 22 years. Meanwhile, crocodiles kill an average of 1 or 2 people every year in Australia, with a peak in 2014 when 5 crocodile-related deaths have been reported (via The Guardian). However, it’s not just animals that can harm you in Australia.

The country is also known for its giant 10-kilogram pine cones that can fall on top of you, as well as tennis ball-sized hailstones that can cause severe damage if your head is unprotected. When in Australia, it’s best to either keep looking in all directions at once in search of threats or shut your eyes and wish you were somewhere safe and sound.

So, How Many People Are Killed by Animals in Australia?

Based on the available data, from 2001 to 2017, there were 541 animal-related deaths in Australia, with an average of 32 deaths per year. As we’ve seen, among the most deadly animals in Australia, we don’t find any exotic dangers but very familiar faces—horses, cows, and dogs—with land mammals accounting for 71% of all deaths by animals in the country.

These tragedies mainly happened on public roads (30.3%), homes (20.7%), and farms (19.2%).

Whilst a lot of these snakes are scary, most shown in these images are of pythons which are generally harmless. Yes they can constrict and kill a person if they really wanted to but it is very rare for that to happen.

What is the Most Unusual Animal in Australia?

We’ve been all about the numbers so far, but what about picking Australia’s most unusual animal? There’s no objective answer to this (there are too many weird animals in Australia), but here’s our personal favorite.

Thorny Devil Lizard is a tiny, colorful reptile covered in spiky scales, which give it a dragon-like appearance and help collect and direct water to its mouth—something this species adapted for to survive in arid environments.

Found primarily in the central deserts of Australia, the Thorny Devil Lizard has a peculiar way of walking. He moves in a slow, rocking motion that helps it escape predators and feeds almost exclusively on ants.

Massive termite mound compared to a woman

Picture of a termite mound in the northern territory of Australia, termites build the tallest structures out of any of the creatures on Earth. Humans would have to build something 10km (6.2 miles for those not on the metric system) tall to equal the scale of size of person to building. Termite mounds are also stronger than cement.

Yes... I love my country....But it all depends on where you live as to what kinds of danger you may be in and what you may see. For instance, I come from North Queensland in the tropics where jellyfish stings and crocodiles are just something you have to be aware of in your life. I have lived in the bush of rural New South Wales and dealt with a lot of different animals including venomous Red Bellied Blacks (we regularly saw about 5-6 snakes) whom we really appreciated as they keep down populations of pest animals and are quite docile. Living in cities you may never see more than a couple of Daddy Long Legs and some geckos.... Great place...

In rural Australia ,where I live ,the rule of thumb,don't leave shoes,bags etc outside,check under toilet seats (and inside toilet roles :/) be aware of your surroundings(we have many venomous snakes on our property ,but you rarely see them.I think it's odd that the article didn't mention Redback Spiders , Wolf Spiders,Whitetail Spiders(all venomous),Fire Ants,Jumping Jack ants,Bull ants (very nasty stings form all of them) or Brown Snakes or Taipans both large, fast-moving, highly venomous snakes or even the Red Bellied Black ,venomous but quite shy and usually only bites when stepped on. Summer is the worst for ALL these. things ,except roos they are always about.We have bloody great eagles as well.Be respectful most creatures and they will leave you alone ...Except spiders ,they are big and terriying ,run away!

When another animal (birds for example) eat a poisonous snake, they die. If the snake was quick and bit the bird then the bird dies from the venom. So when the author used both poisonous and venomous in the same sentence they are referring to both. Also educated Aussies understand the difference of both words and will use the correct word in a description.

I would love to visit Australia but the only thing that scares me about AUS are the creepy stories I have listened to on YouTube. The absolute lack of internet, long stretches of highway with no town in sight, gas stations or some locals/transplants directing you down deserted roads at night into nowhere land. The rest are fine by me, I love spiders, snakes and bats. Though I live in Texas and we have our fair share of dangerous/venomous creatures, various rattlesnake/copperhead snakes, scorpions, brown recluse spider and wild boar/hogs. The boars are extremely aggressive and destroy crops and eat 10x’s their weight in agriculture. Though, I have never tried to catch a spider or a snake in Australia and put the little guy outside like I do here in Texas.

I live in a tiny town and decent sized spiders come inside (esp in summer...and I'm a lil arachnophobic). At my Nan's farm there was a huge diamond python that lived in the hay shed (8ft long...not sure what that is in metres) and you'd find his skin every now and then (in the shed of around the branches of a huge pine tree. Dad used it to play a practical joke with the skin until Nan told him to get rid of it or she'd kill him lol. Not sure what happened to the snake. Ticks (paralysis) were worse than the snakes out there tho

Australia invented live export, australia culls its native wildlife, native habitat for the benefit of cattlemen and sheepmen. Australia is the second cruelest country on earth to its own animals. China being first, Spain being third. sorry australia, not only will I never come to your country for ANY reason, or spend one dime on your products, I hope you drown in your own stupidity.

-2points

Foxxy 5 years ago

A lot of countries culls wildlife for farming, just have a look at the US for example, not just for farming but also for housing, mining, and other infrastructure. The US exports more live stock/animals than Australia does, in 2013 Aus exported 3,160,610, whilst the US exported 94,775,607. Also look at the countries where rainforests are being destroyed at alarming rates killing off orangutans and other vulnerable animals etc due to the palm oil industry. Add on the countries that use animals for entertainment in cruel ways like being chained up, beaten, starved etc. Look at what the US does to its own citizens too with mass shootings almost daily. Might want to do more research before you deem Australia is the second cruelest country. Could we be better, of course we can but so can almost every other country. Those who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.

And guns. The stats on toddlers killing themselves and others "playing" with guns in USA are terrifying.

No mention of the number of tourists that have disappeared or been found murdered in the past 12 months alone.

Your more likely to get shot on any given day than murdered in Aus. A lot of the tourists that have disappeared are backpackers who hitchhike.

Most of the spiders shown are harmless huntsmans and nothing to worry about. They make great houseguests and keep the unwanted ones at bay.

Honestly I don't know how this happens....people must leave their houses wide open and live out in the middle of the bush to get these kinds of animals in their houses...
