Hey YouTube, Jim here! Welcome to Top10Archive!
Each year thousands of people visit Australia

to enjoy its beautiful beaches and spectacular
outback. However, the land down under is also

known for something more sinister – its
vast array of killer creatures – and that's

what we're interested in. For this installment,
we'll once again be omitting humans from our

list. As we get started, help us out by hitting

10. Blue-Ringed Octopus
Don't be fooled by their bright and bubbly

appearance, these colorful creatures are deadly.
Packed with enough venom to kill ten healthy

adults, their weapon, known as teTROdotoxin,
is also around 1200 times deadlier than cyanide.

The good news, there has only been two confirmed
deaths caused by this vibrant octopod, and,

because of their docile nature, most attacks
occur while trying to disturb their habitat.

9. Stonefish
This ultra-venomous breed of scorpionfish

is known for being almost impossible to spot
thanks to their stone-like appearance. Poor,

unsuspecting beach-goers often fall prey to
the camouflaged stonefish, and accidentally

stepping on one is far from a pleasant experience.
The neurotoxin that they release is so painful,

victims have demanded that the afflicted limb
be amputated to end their misery. Although

deaths from stonefish are rare, they've
earned a place on this list for the frequency

of their attacks as their anti-venom is the
second most frequently administered in Australia.

8. Irukandji jellyfish
Responsible for the deaths of one or two people

on average annually, this smaller relative
of the box jellyfish packs a punch that is

said to start off mild but slowly grow into
a pain that courses through the victim's body.

As tiny as the size of your thumbnail, you'd
think twice to mess with these little creatures

again if you survive your first encounter.
Stings bring on Irukandji syndrome, marked

by symptoms including lower back pain, cramps,
sweating, anxiety, and nausea.

7. Sharks
Responsible for roughly four to ten attacks

annually and with a fatality rate of roughly
25%, sharks aren't quite the killers that

the movies make them out to be. All of the
“Big Three” can be found along Australia's

coastline, and although great white and tiger
sharks are thought to have caused more deaths,

it's actually the unpredictable bull shark
that should make you nervous. These bullies

are happy to stray into freshwater and were
even seen window-shopping in the streets of

Brisbane during heavy flooding in 2010.
6. Box Jellyfish

With the second most powerful venom of any
creature, it's easy to see why this fearsome

sea dweller is often listed as the most dangerous
creature down under. Their sixty-or-so tentacles

grow up to ten feet or three meters in length
each, and every tentacle has roughly 5,000

stinging cells. The agonizing pain of their
sting causes a person to go into shock, often

causing cardiac arrest within minutes, which
makes getting back to shore by yourself nearly

impossible. Like the Irukandji jellyfish,
Box Jellyfish will kill 1 to 2 people on average

Pure aggression and venom twice as powerful
as cyanide makes this eight-legged brute an

Australian joy! With fangs as long as some
snakes', they've been known to pierce

through fingernails and even leather shoes.
Funnel Webs are sensitive to light, so they

do what they can to keep out of the sun. In
residential areas, piles of bricks and logs

are popular hiding places, but shoes are a
favorite, too. On average, 2 people died per

year before an anti-venom was introduced in
the 1980's, but, since death can occur within

15 minutes, a swift response and identification
of the arachnid are vital to survival.

4. Eastern Brown Snake
Although the Inland Taipan has the most powerful

venom of any snake, the Eastern Brown snake
is fast, aggressive, bad tempered, and nervy.

Responsible for half of all snake deaths in
Australia, at least two people succumb to

their attacks each year. Many victims have
confirmed that their initial bite is almost

painless - often times were even unaware they
were bitten at all. If you don't get to

that all-important anti-venom quickly, you'll
fall victim to paralysis and uncontrollable

bleeding, eventually leading to death - often
in less than an hour.

Saltwater crocodile
'The Saltie' is the largest living reptile

on earth and is responsible for around two
to three deaths per year, although that number

is on the rise. The largest authenticated
croc held in captivity measured in at 6.17

meters or about 20.24 feet, and weighed an
incredible 2,370-pounds or roughly 1,075-kilograms.

Saltwater crocodiles are as happy in the sea
as they are in fresh water and swamps, so

you're never safe if you're near water.
They're opportunistic hunters and will eat

anything that nears their murky depths.
2. Dogs

Aussies love dogs: they make movies about
them, they have landmarks dedicated to them,

and one creepy town even has a pet cemetery
devoted to them. But it seems that the love

isn't always mutual. Responsible for approximately
three deaths a year, dog attacks prove that

literally everything in Australia has a taste
for human flesh. Even more frightening, 78%

of these occurrences are committed by family
pets.

1. Honey Bees
With roughly ten people dying per year, the

honey bee causes more deaths in Australia
than spiders, snakes and sharks combined.

Bees and wasps are responsible for 33% of
all admissions to the hospital due to a bite

or sting compared to spiders and snakes, which
are responsible for 30% and 15%, respectively.

If you're caught by the bee's barbed stinger,
you'll probably just suffer pain and swelling,

unless you're allergic. Then you can expect
your airway to close up and die from asphyxiation

if you don't seek immediate medical attention.
Even if you're not allergic, disturbing

a nest can lead to deadly mass attacks. Now
let's watch some bees mess up some spiders!
