SCARY ANIMALS

BY CHRIS

I have had a Chilean Rose Tarantula

I fed him dead mice They are not poisonous

to humans but they are deadly to some other animals

It was about the size of my hand

It was very hairy and used to walk up my arm.

Chilean Rose

It is one of the 5 most poisonous spiders in the world.

They come from Australia and are found in both the bush and urban areas.

The female is the most deadly with a body size of 1cm compared to the male, which is 3-4mm.

It is from the Black Widow family. It has neurotoxic venom, which is

toxic to humans. It has a red stripe on it’s back

(funnily enough).

THE REDBACK

The funnel web is found in Australia.

It is the most toxic spider in the world.

Animals are often alright after it’s bite but humans die quickly (15-20 mins)

You could find them in the home and the larger one’s in trees in the bush.

Their body size ranges between 1-5cm

It makes a funnel shaped web (obviously).

FUNNEL WEB

I come from Eastern United States and live in woodlands, meadowlands and rocky hillsides.

I am not dangerous to humans but small animals don’t like me (birds, bats, mice and lizards).

First I bite my prey to weaken it and then I use my coils to squeeze the life out of it.

I can live 20-25 years in captivity and 10 to 20 years in the wild. In the wild there is more bacteria in the food which can shorten my life.

My length is from 61cm – 182cm

Corn Snake Hi, I’m a Corn Snake. Any food? I’m

starving.

Meant to be the hardest dog in the world

DOGO ARGENTINO

It is also known as the Argentinean Mastiff

They are loyal dogs and they can make good pets.

They are not good around kids

They need lots of exercise but mainly a loyal owner who will be boss from a puppy up

All dogs need a pack leader. Without this the Mastiff will try and take the lead – i.e. Become aggressive

They have really strong jaws

These are definitely scary They are large aquatic reptiles

that live in the tropics of Africa, Australia, Asia and the Americas.

They live in freshwater like rivers and lakes

They eat mainly vertebrates like fish, reptiles and mammals (including MAN!)

They are ambush hunter because wait for their prey to get close and then attack suddenly.

They kill their prey by getting them into a death roll.

One of the largest type of crocodile can be up to 6.2 metres long.

Butter wouldn’t mealt, but then...

Crocodile

Shark Great White Sharks are the largest predatory fish in the sea.

Great White sharks live along the coasts of all continents except Antarctica.

Great White Sharks rarely attack people and when they do, it is because they mistaken the person for their usual seal prey.

The biggest Great White Shark ever caught was off Prince Edward Island (off the coast of Canada in 1993. It was 20 feet long. (about ¾ the length of a Double Decker bus)

Great White Sharks are no match for Orcas in a fight. Orcas, better known as Killer Whales, sometimes hunt in packs plus they are too fast and strong for even the biggest Great Whites.

Orcas have been known to kill and eat them as well. (Wimps!)
