Australia's Most Dangerous - Season 1

Is it the fear of the Irukandji Jellyfish, the small size of the Blue Ringed Octopus, or the elusiveness of the world's most toxic snake, the Inland Taipan? What lurks beneath the water's surface will have you fighting for your life.

A battle of the miniscule itchy grub, the highly unique platypus and the mammoth water buffalo.

From urban swooping, to ocean swimming to the outback bounding and even the extinct, expect the unexpected from this dangerous bunch.

Biting, stinging and tearing… drawing blood is what these animals do best.

From the tiniest to the slimiest, these animals all pack a potent punch. Getting up close and personal is a dangerous game to play.

Burrowing creepy crawlies, tusked feral boars and the gnashing jaws of the greatest underwater threat. Fear and loathing in Australia.

With more beasts to come all vying for the chance to make the grade, a family of venomous reptiles looks sure to slither its way to the top.

Dangerous animal bites from the jaws of an ancient beast, the fangs of a rare reptile, and the poisonous spines at the end of a fishing line.

From a bite in a tail to a bite of the jaws, only the lucky survive an encounter with these deadly beasts.

The "state of play" holds tight for the playful sea lion, toxic stonefish and furry fruit bat.

A mixed bag of dangerous animals with tearing talons, razor-sharp teeth, piercing fangs and toxic tentacles.

As the intimidating list shapes up, a run-in with an unlikely threat has devastating consequences as an animal buzzes into the top 10.
