72 Dangerous Animals: Australia (2014– ) User Reviews

The best one of the "72 Dangerous Animals" - probably because nowhere beats Australia when it comes to dangerous animals!

If you're only watching one of the 72 Dangerous Animals, then watch this one.

The narration is good and the animals fascinating (and often scary in what they can cause). Most importantly compared to the other sets of 72 Dangerous Animals, the experts interviewed about the animals are engaging and good in front of the camera. Also, other sets of 72 Dangerous Animals are invariably let down by tedious interviews with survivors - the Australian one is much better in that regard. This one is worth watching if you like animal documentaries

Very Informative Show

[kenyae-cagle · 8/10 · 6 January 2018]

This show was very good to watch with learning about how delicate we humans are and how easy it is for us to get murdered by these beautiful creatures through the life of evolution. I enjoyed this show learning about these animals and creatures. I was just confused about how certain animals ending up being graded higher than a jaguar or lion when somehow insects/arachnids were able to surpass them for just being poisonous. I am glad I found this show though.

Fascinating and informative

Wonderfully engaging and jaw-droppingly informative! My husband and I were riveted, hearing about the creatures that inhabit a land that we'd love to visit! I had only one complaint and that was with whoever wrote the production's script and Mitch Ryan's reading of same: Did no one proofread the script and is Mr. Ryan literate beyond reading what's written? I.E. A situation cannot be 'exasperated', but it can be 'exacerbated'! #2 'Arboreal' does NOT mean 'Active at night'! 'Arboreal' means Trees or woods, so an 'Arboreal Snake' is a 'Tree Dweller'; 'active at night' is 'NOCTURNAL'. There were more laughable readings, but you get the idea. Otherwise, this show was an awesome find and thoroughly enjoyable!

Love it or die

Good job on the show, disagree with some rankings a little, but still amazing.

Great show

[rubymineall · 9/10 · 18 January 2023]

Great show! Loved learning about all the animals in the country I live in

Only one complaint that alot of the venomous animals were called 'poisonouse' which is not the right wording considering venomous and poisonouse are two VERY differnt things. And if you get them confused it cab end badly.

How to remember it:

If it bites you and you die/get badly hurt= it's venomous

If you bite it and you die (get hurt)= it's poisonouse

So there you go. Theres no reason to get it confused now. (Also if you tell a child who knows the difference but doesn't know about snakes that a tiger snake is poisonouse when it's really venomous they may try to grab the snake thinking it can't hurt them unless they bite the snake.)

Erroneous results

[mauriciofernandogerhardt · 2/10 · 22 November 2018]

While it does show a lot of interesting information on interesting animals, the program focuses on scaring people about them, instead of focusing on preserving them. The show also rates the animals in their danger level, so that at the end it decides which is the most dangerous animal, but the most dangerous animals didn't win: the human.
