What’s So Dangerous About This?
At first glance, this doesn’t look like anything dangerous. You see a charming older gentleman who is kneeling down next to a green plant. However, this plant is known as a Gympie-Gympie, and it is one of the most venomous plants in the world. It has a horribly painful sting, and it causes extreme itching and hives. We hope that this gentleman doesn’t get too close to this Gympie-Gympie, and that he knows what it really is.

Cute, but Dangerous
The bad thing about Australia is that even the cutest creatures, like koalas, can be dangerous, and you can add a platypus to that list, too. Though this little guy looks incredibly adorable, this male platypus has barbs behind his feet that excrete a venom. If you get in contact with this venom, you can expect excruciating pain, that, according to people who have experienced it, barely gets better even with high doses of morphine.
