Pictures That Prove Australia Is The Most Unique Place On Earth

"Just Hanging Out"

This is the grey-headed flying fox. It is a megabat native to Australia. They are not dangerous to humans because they usually eat nectar and pollen from eucalyptus trees.

Someone found this bat hanging outside their house because it was stopping to dry itself off. Once it was dry, he flew away. 

A Friendly Visitor

From far away, this might appear to be a crocodile, but it is actually a type of giant lizard. This is the lace monitor who was probably looking for some rats to snack on. 
A Friendly Visitor

They aren't extremely dangerous unless they are provoked. We can't imagine the feeling of coming home and finding this waiting at your front door.  

Surprisingly This Spider Isn't Dangerous

Ok, we know what you are thinking. That woman must be crazy for holding this giant spider. Surprisingly, these spiders aren't dangerous to humans. 
Surprisingly This Spider Isn't Dangerous
Reddit
This is the huntsman spider that is commonly found in Australian homes because it controls the cockroach populations. They don't bite humans unless they are provoked, and they aren't venomous. 

Crocodile Vs. Python

What happens when an olive python encounters a crocodile; the python will usually win, according to these photos.

TheWoundedKing
These pythons are known for their large and sometimes overly ambitious appetite. It is kind of weird when you suddenly feel bad for the crocodile. 

Pine Cones That Can Kill People

No, this is not a weird beehive, it is an Araucaria pine cone. These pine cones can grow up to 14 inches in diameter and weigh almost 40 pounds.

These are nicknamed the widowmaker pine cones because they can kill you if they fall on your head. 

Do You Even Lift, Bro?

This kangaroo has been hitting the gym, and he looks like he had been preparing for a fight. He is flexing for his fans. 
Do You Even Lift, Bro?
Gumbyskangaroosanctuary
Kangaroos are very powerful creatures and males can be boxing each other during mating season. You would not want to meet this guy in the wild. 

You're Gonna Need A Bigger Boat

Instead of Jaws, we will call this saltwater crocodile Chompers. The rivers in Australia are filled with these massive creatures. 
You're Gonna Need A Bigger Boat
robdedog89
These river monsters can grow up to 17 feet long and weigh 2,000 pounds. The largest saltwater crocodile was 20 feet long! Be sure to stay out of these waters. 

You Have Something On Your Back.

Do you think he is aware of the massive stick bug on his shoulder? This is the stuff of nightmares, although these bugs aren't harmful. 
You Have Something On Your Back.
fancyfire
This is a giant prickly stick insect that is native to Australia. They are sometimes kept as pets. They only eat leaves and plants and do not bite or sting. 

Spider Frost, Enough Said

During the rainy season in Australia, you should start taking walks with hairspray and a lighter to avoid this creepy spider frost. 
Spider Frost, Enough Said
mad66
Spiders make these large nets of frost to get to high ground, so they don't drown. It is kind of like how Spiderman uses his webbing to get from building to building. 

Major Nope!

This is how Australians make sure their electricity meter doesn't get read. We would not want to be the employee who had to encounter that. 
Major Nope!
dedokta
This is the smaller-scale version of the scene from Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets when Ron and Harry follow the spiders into the forest and meet the giant spider and all of his giant spider children. 

Just Get Rid Of The Toilet

When toddlers are learning how to potty train, it can be scary because there are fears that something will come out of the toilet and eat you. This fear probably started after they saw this photo. 
Just Get Rid Of The Toilet
Haga
If this were our toilet, we would be afraid to ever sit down before rechecking the bowl. 

Frogs Hitching A Ride On A Python

Remember ants on a log (raisins on a peanut butter covered celery stick just in case you haven't)? Well, now there are frogs on a python. These frogs were too lazy to continue hopping, so they risked their lives and used the python as transportation.

MrMeMock
The frogs are actually cane toads, and they are deadlier than the python. These toads are poisonous throughout their entire lifecycle. 

Dead Whale About To Explode

We would not want to be anywhere near this dead whale considering it is about to explode. It is going to be a very ugly site in a matter of minutes. 
Dead Whale About To Explode
Mark Watkins
When whales die, gas builds up inside of their stomachs as they decompose, which eventually leads to them exploding. 

Chilli Pepper Or Slug?

This brightly colored thing is the hot pink slug that is only found in an isolated forest on an extinct volcano in Australia. 
Chilli Pepper Or Slug?
Don_Bonnigan
While it may look dangerous, it is harmless and only feeds on plants and fruits. These brightly colored slugs are on the endangered list. 

Midnight Snake Snack

You would think that the frog would be afraid of the snake, but not in the case of the green tree frog.

DrunkAzSkunk
The green tree frog is known for taking down larger prey, including the occasional snake. 

Unwelcome Customer

The people in this store seem so unbothered by this extra-long snake slithering into the clothing store.

Also, the woman carrying it is acting like she has to deal with this stuff on a daily basis. What is happening in Australia? 

March Of The Hairy Caterpillar

The march of the hairy caterpillars is a wonderful site to see, but you do not want to touch those fuzzy white hairs. 
March Of The Hairy Caterpillar
RedViper27
Like most things in Australia, these caterpillars are poisonous. Who would have thought? The hairs float through the air, and they cause itching and irritated skin. 

Earthworms In Australia Be Like...

The soil must be very rich in Australia with earthworms like this one. Just think of how many fish you could catch with a worm this size. 
Earthworms In Australia Be Like...
gDisasters
They say everything is bigger in Texas, but we think people meant to say everything is bigger in Australia. This looks like that giant bull worm from Spongebob. 

Guess You Don't Need Gas Anymore

It looks like this person is going to have to get gas elsewhere because the snake has taken over the gas pump at this station. 
Guess You Don't Need Gas Anymore
Lugozi
Hopefully, this person's car isn't on empty yet so they can fill up at a place that doesn't have a snake staring at them. 

Unidentified Object

Two people were walking along the beach when they discovered this sea anemone. You might have heard this word before because this is the thing that Nemo and Marlin live inside in Finding Nemo. 
Unidentified Object
Horrorwolfe
The anemone delivers a painful sting if you touch it like a jellyfish. It is unclear how this one washed up on shore because they are usually attached to coral reefs. 

Always Read The Signs

When you are coming to the end of your hike and stumble across this sign only to find out you have been walking through a tiger snake breeding ground. 
Always Read The Signs
imgur.com
These people must have felt very lucky to get out of there unharmed. The tiger snake is highly venomous, and they have killed people because of their bites. 

Crocodile Vs Shark

This is not something you see every day unless you live in Australia. The crocodile found a young bull shark to eat for a snack. 
Crocodile Vs Shark
HocusPenis
If you know anything about sharks, you would know that the bull shark is the third most dangerous shark, so this crocodile was very bold to mess with it. 

Wear A Different Pair Of Shoes

If you can learn anything from this picture, it would be to always check the inside of your shoes before you put them on. 
Wear A Different Pair Of Shoes
Gar1986
This small snake was curled up inside this person's Croc, and we don't know if the snake is dangerous, but we hope they were safe. 

Lunch With A Side Of Poisonous Snake

This is the last thing you would want to find in your child's lunchbox. This little snake is very deadly.

Snake Catchers Adelaide
The child asked for snacks, but her mom heard snakes instead. What would you do as a teacher if a child had a snake in their lunchbox? 

Even The Ceiling Lamps Are Out To Get You

This snake was so rude and invited himself into this person's home without being invited. He even was peeping to see if there was a person in the shower. 
Even The Ceiling Lamps Are Out To Get You
CeterumCenseo85
How did it manage to get into the house and up on the lighting fixture? 

The Land Where Hail Can Kill You

These pieces of hail are larger than billiard balls. Those things can seriously injure or kill a person if they are hit in the head. 
The Land Where Hail Can Kill You
CCPearson
What did Australia do to mother nature for her to make it the land of nightmares? Besides all the snakes and spiders, they also get to have horrible hail. 

Might As Well Move

Like we said earlier, always check the toilet before you sit down because there might be a snake sleeping in there. 
Might As Well Move
Meanwhile In Australia
The snake decided to make the toilet bowl his new home so no one else can use it now. 

Highly Venomous Octopus On Someone's Hand

Besides giant spiders and venomous snakes, Australia is also known for the blue-ringed octopus. We don't know why this person would pick up a venomous animal. 
Highly Venomous Octopus On Someone's Hand
estacado
The blue-ringed octopus is considered one of the most venomous creatures in the ocean. If you ever encounter them, swim away! 

Australia: Where Bugs Are Bigger Than Birds

Although these stick bugs are not dangerous, they are pretty creepy to come face to face with. They also blend into their surroundings so you could easily miss it at first. 
Australia: Where Bugs Are Bigger Than Birds
imgur.com
These bugs can be the size of a small dog, which seems like something that would come out of a horror movie. 

Alien Or Spider?

This giant spider looks like one of the face hugger from the movie Alien. We would never open that door or window ever again after seeing this spider hanging out. 
Alien Or Spider?
OrionoftheGlade
If it were us, we would just turn around, pack our stuff, and move somewhere else. 

Meanwhile In Australia

Remember those megabats that are the size of small children, well they are the prey of a boa constrictor. 
Meanwhile In Australia
SunglassesFace
This is only a site you would see in the land down under. The snake must be thinking that he caught Dracula, just look at that hand! 

Large Termite Mound

This is not a rock, it is a picture of a termite mound located in northern Australia. Termites are known for building some of the tallest structures compared to any other animal.

smally1986
These structures are stronger than cement. It is one of the less scary things that can be found in Australia. 

We Guess They Aren't Eating Today

This spider does not want anyone using the microwave today. He does not care if you are hungry or need to heat something up, 
We Guess They Aren't Eating Today
chicknorris63
You could try poking it with a broom so that it will move, but then it might jump on you and eat your face off. It's better just to run away. 

Never. Going. To. Australia

These spiders keep getting bigger and bigger. After seeing this, we are creating Australia off our bucket lists. 
Never. Going. To. Australia
Wolf_SF
The person who took this picture was visiting Australia for the first time, and his friend asked how his trip was going. He replied with this picture, and that's the only answer you need. 

Hungry Hungry Frog

Like the game "Hungry Hungry Hippos," this frog is hungry and is munching down on a snake.

WhyteCrayon
It is an interesting choice of a midnight snack, but you do what you have to do when you are hungry in the wild. 

Weaving A Web

This is the net casting spider who looks like he is playing cat's cradle. In reality, the spider is waiting for prey to fly in the web and get stuck. 
Weaving A Web
bensamuel86
Now we know where all these scary SiFi movies get their ideas, the writers take a trip to Australia for inspiration. 

Burn That Shirt

Apparently, the flies in Australia are much worse than the spiders. These pesky bugs will not leave you alone. 
Burn That Shirt
kearvelli
They have all gathered on this man's jacket, and just looking at this photo makes our skin crawl. 

Why Are There So Many Giant Spiders

The white body and the black legs of this spider make it look much scarier than the other spiders. 
Why Are There So Many Giant Spiders
RobStanley
Although this golden orb spider is scary, the venom is not strong enough to kill a human. 

Black Millipedes Invading Southwest Australia

Every winter, Australians in the southwestern region have to worry about the invasion of black Portuguese millipedes.

This is just one of the many things Australians have to look forward to in the Winter. They are creepy and smell very bad. 

When You Feel A Little Tickle On Your Leg

What would you do if you felt something crawling on your leg and looked down to find this? We would be running, screaming, and flailing our legs all over the place. 
When You Feel A Little Tickle On Your Leg
jaquinPeonix
The stick bug probably thought that this person's leg was part of a tree. Luckily, these insects are harmless.
