Wildlife attacks in Australia occur every year from several different native species,[2][3] including snakes, spiders, freshwater and saltwater crocodiles, various sharks, cassowaries, kangaroos, stingrays and stonefish and a variety of smaller marine creatures such as bluebottles, blue-ringed octopus, cone shells and jellyfish.
It is estimated that there are about 100,000 dog attacks in Australia each year.[4]
