The Australian Reptile Park

A "plague" of the world's most venomous spiders could swarm Sydney after torrential rain and flooding, the Australian Reptile Park said Wednesday, warning that the deadly arachnids could seek refuge in homes as they escape the deluge.

There are few things in life that can scare the living day lights out of you. This video of baby spiders is definitely one of them.

Australian wildlife staff needed a crane to rescue a lovelorn female koala who escaped from her enclosure at the start of her first mating season, impatient to find a partner.

As if popping that all important question to your significant other wasn't nerve-racking enough. A reptile handler in Australia chose what must be the most unlikely of places to propose to his girlfriend - in a crocodile enclosure. One imagines the presence of those killer teeth would be a total romance kill.
