Re: Australia

No clue if I'm too late but:

Is the plant and animal life in Australia really so overwhelmingly lethal (through poison and/or sharp teeth) that the whole "everything in Australia is out to kill you" has a bit of truth in it?

most of the more deadly animals live in inward australia away from heavily populated areas but you do have to be pretty weary of snakes and spiders. The most common snake is probably the red-belly black snake and the brown snake while the most common spiders are probably the red back and (along the east coast) the sydney funnel web. Of these only the Sydney funnel web could kill you relatively quickly. Its also really aggressive so it will chase you if you find yourself near one. The other three, while venomous, rarely kill anyone because it takes longer for the poison to work its way through your body. Most people have plenty of time to find a hospital and receive antivenom- so long as they are following recommended first aid procedures.

Every Australian checks for spiders in their shoes if they've left them outside overnight and under outdoor seats before they sit on them. Spider bites aren't pleasant.

(Of course this is the perspective from someone on the east coast, it will be different for someone from the west or outback)
