Answer 1

First thing to ask is, does it? I think the question you want is why do so many of the most venemous animals live in aus

I don’t know exactly, but most venemous animals are cold blooded and Australias is a large, warm continent with tropical and desert areas. That lends itself to venemous reptiles

But dangerous? We have very few wildlife deaths. I’d much rather camp in the Australian bush than in the American wilderness with the bears for example
