In cool, dark corners or anywhere you can't see , under or among large rocks and under dead wood

are where snakes may be found. Many bites happen when people try to catch, or kill venomous

snakes or when people tread(put their feet) on snakes. Common sense should keep you safe when

out in the Australian bush, for example, snakes are scared of humans and they move away as soon

as they hear people coming.

Saltwater crocodiles are found a long way from settlements only in the far north of Australia

near rivers and waterholes. There are usually signs to warn people that crocodiles are in the area.

Crocodiles stay hidden in the water or on the land close to water. 42.

Many beaches have shark nets to keep sharks away from swimmers. In hot weather, small

planes fly along the coast looking out for

sharks. If one is spotted an alarm is sounded to warn people to get out of the water. Sharks in deep water are the hungriest, and hungry sharks are

dangerous．

44.

Spiders are usually found in dark, dry places, under stones or amongst rubbish. The poison is

slow acting so there is plenty of time to get to the hospital.

When jellyfish are close to the beach, you usually find a few dead ones on the beach. If they were

recently on the beach, they can still sting. A sting can often paralyze a person, making it difficult

to swim back to shore alone. Vinegar can help relieve the sting of jellyfish. If a person has trouble

breathing or becomes unconscious, they should be taken to hospital immediately. 48.
