Sometimes, just to be mean, we let it last a day or two, then dash your hopes on the rocks.

Have to make sure none of the 548,000 hostile species gets loose.

the coastal taipan at 0.106 mg SC and a venom yield of 400 mg, this would be sufficient enough to kill 208,019 mice and 59 adult humans in a single bite

But they are friendly .

The muscular lightweight body of the Taipan allows it to hurl itself forwards or sideways and reach high off the ground, and such is the speed of the attack that a person may be bitten several times before realizing the snake is there.

Perhaps not .

The only friendly species is a spider the size of a dinner plate.

As opposed to this

1 Funnel-web Spiders (family Dipluridae)
This family of spiders in the order Araneida are named for their funnel-shaped webs, which open wide at the mouth of the tube. The spider sits in the narrow funnel waiting for prey to contact the web. When this happens, the spider rushes out and captures the insect prey at the funnel’s mouth. The most important genera are Evagrus, Brachythele, and Microhexura in North America, Trechona in South America, and the poisonous members of the Atrax genus in Australia.
The species Atrax robustus and A. formidabilis are large, brown bulky spiders that are much feared in southern and eastern Australia because of their venomous bites. Several human deaths from the bites of these aggressive spiders have been recorded in the Sydney area since the 1920s. An antidote to the main toxin in their venom has been developed which is effective if administered to victims soon after they have been bitten.

Blue Ring Octopus Despite its small size, the Blue Ring Octopus carries enough poison to kill over twenty people within minutes. It is one of the deadliest animals on this list. It will hunt small animals but will bite an attacker, even a human, if provoked or stepped on. The venom causes paralysis and respiratory arrest. There’s no known cure. - See more at: www.hotelclub.com...
