Deadly Animal Counter

Australia

It's the most dangerous place in the world and a somewhere for an all round hero like me! I've decided to keep a tally of all the deadly animals that I'm going to meet and beat along the way:


Spiders

Funnelwebs (big, hard and hairy) - 1

Red backs (nasty toilet seat huggers) - 3



Snakes (with intelligent sounding Latin names)

Inland Taipan (Oxyuranus microlepidotus) - 5

Eastern Brown Snake (Pseudonaja textilis) - 0

Coastal Taipan (Oxyuranus scutellatus) - 0


Crocodiles

Fresh Water Crocodiles (the wussy ones) - 0

Salt Water Crocodiles (the really hard *rsed big ones) -1





Jelly Fish

The box jelly fish (long, legy & very dangerous) - 0

Irukandji Jellyfish (Small, silent and deadly) - 0




Sharks

Great White Shark (Jaws wannabe) - 1





Other

Killer Koalas (small, furry, hunt in packs) - 7

Had a fight with these little cute blighters in a dream. They tried to hug me to death but I cynically resisted their charms!





Think that's about the lot. The rest aren't bad enough to list!
