Australia's Fascinating and Deadly Wildlife Facts

Australia has more deadly jellyfish encounters than shark attacks every single year.

Over twenty thousand box jellyfish float along the northern coasts during summer, and their venom

can stop your heart in minutes. The inland taipan snake holds enough venom in one bite

to kill one hundred adults, yet it's so shy that almost nobody ever gets bitten.

Wombats produce cube shaped poop to mark their territory, and scientists only recently figured

out how their intestines create perfect geometric shapes. The Great Barrier Reef is so massive

that astronauts can spot it from space without any equipment, stretching over

fourteen hundred miles along the coast. Which fact shocked you most?
