There are many animals in Australia who can be harmful. To name a few, sea animals such as jelly fish, sharks, stone fish or crocodiles, snakes and spiders. Venomous snakes, including the tiger snake, copperhead snake and red-bellied black snake are mostly found in bushland but they can also live in built-up areas. Poisonous spiders, such as the redback spider and the white-tailed spider, are commonly found in houses, sheds and garages.

There are snakes, tarantellas and scorpions. It is the black scorpion that is deadly and they are not found in the Yucatan. The tarantalas is not lethal unless you are allergic to its bite. In the water you have to be careful not to step on a sea urchin or stingray tail. Also watch out for jellyfish which move about slowly. See similar questions...

No and yes. Such animals are there, of course (and that is one of the reasons why you might be traveling to the Amazon!), but they are not aggessive and have no wish to have a confrontation with you. Most animals will only bite, sting or attack when they feel threatened. Give animals their space, and you will have no problems. An important and simple precaution is to always have a flashlight with you at night so that you don't inadvertently step on a poisonous snake or arthropod. See similar questions...

Although all true spiders have venom glands, not all venoms produced are very poisonous to humans. In fact, only two spiders in Texas are known to have the potential to commonly cause severe reactions: the brown recluse and the black widow. However, any spider bite could cause a reaction, especially if you are hypersensitive to that particular venom. See also the Medically Important Arthropods page for more information and pictures.
