Australian Saltwater Crocodile
The Australian saltwater crocodile can sense the presence of prey through changes in water pressure, as well as using other senses such as vision and hearing. Large crocodiles grab prey with awesome force before they crush or drown their capture. The Australian saltwater croc is the heaviest reptile alive today weighing up to 1000 kilograms and growing to lengths of seven metres. Salt Water Crocodiles will easily eat kangaroos, wallabies and wild pigs.
We have gators to match this. And maybe this croc could eat the wild pigs/boars in our neighborhood!!! Seriously, we bump up to a state forest and wild boar have been seen in the neighborhood.
Australian Box Jellyfish
Also known as the sea wasp or sea stinger, this jellyfish can have up to 60 tentacles each 15 feet long. Each tentacle has 5,000 stinging cells and enough toxin to kill 60 humans and effects from a Box Jellyfish sting include confusion, agitation and unconsciousness followed by respiratory failure. The Irukandji Jellyfish, which is only 2.5 centimetres in diameter, is related to the Box Jellyfish and via it's four tentacles can also deliver a deadly sting.
Blue Ring Octopus
The Blue Ring Octopus is a deadly venomous octopus which inhabits warm waters and shallow reefs off the coast of Australia. Within its salivary glands live bacteria, which produce the chemical tetrodotoxin which is a strong, fast-acting toxin that paralyses the target by blocking the nerves from transmitting messages. The paralysis that overcomes the victim is only to their voluntary muscles, they remain fully conscious and death usually occurs as a result of lack of oxygen.
Stonefish
The Stonefish is another of Australia's deadly marine creatures which inhabit shallow waters along the coast. The Stonefish is well camouflaged in the ocean, as it is a brownish colour, and often resembles a rock. The most striking feature of this species is its spine of 13 grooved hypodermic-like projections, each capable of piercing a sandshoe and each have extremely toxic venom.
