Never Touch Wild Animals
See how the person in the photo is holding the octopus? Don’t do that. This is the Blue Ringed Octopus and is highly venemous and dangerous to humans. The bright blue rings on its body only light up when the animals feel threatened. If the octopus continues to feel endangered, it will bite. Its bite can cause respiratory arrest, heart failure, paralysis, blindness, and even death. Death will most likely occur from paralysis of the diaphragm. Look out for tide pools where this cute, but extremely dangerous animal prefers to reside.

Fish Eating Insect
Yes, those words are in the right order. Behold, Australia’s Giant Water Bug, named after its sheer size and habitat. This bug has been known to eat turtles, fish, and even small snakes. Much like our Salt Water Crocodile friend, it lies in wait when hunting, preferring the element of surprise rather than chase its prey. The Giant Water Bug’s bite carries venomous saliva that, while not a medical danger to humans, can be excruciating. They have also been known to play dead, so don’t try picking one up just because it’s not moving, or you may be in for a painful surprise.
