Dear Hui,
I am glad to receive your invitation for the camping trip.
But I am really nervous about this. I’ve heard that the wild creatures in Australia are quite dangerous. Most of them are poisonous, even some of them will kill human.
But I know Australia is such a beautiful country with lots of wonderful sights.
I don’t know how to decide, what do you think?
Best wishes,
Yuting

Australia is home to more than 170 different kinds of snake and 115 of these are poisonous. In fact, Australia has more kinds of venomous snake than any other country in the world.
A few varieties, however, can kill humans, so it is just as well that snakes are very shy and
…… from jellyfish stings and about the same number from snakebites.
How to avoid bias and protect yourself?
Luckily, the poison of most snakes can kill or paralyze only small creatures.
there have been only three deaths
usually attack only if they are disturbed and feel threatened.
Summary
We admit that snake is a dangerous animal. 115 kinds of them are poisonous. And they can even kill humans.
But the truth is, most snakebites only work on small creatures instead of humans. As long as you keep away from the snakes and avoid making them feel threatened, they won’t attack you.
In recent years, only three deaths from snakebites are reported!
