Here is the third list of the deadliest who we need to be careful of!

The dingoes,  Australia's wild dog, found in the Australian outback are no doubt the deadliest as people get deceived by their appearance and behavior like a tame dog. Campers who go into their habitat feed them treating like pet ones. Not safe! Dingoes are large, impressive predators who hunt, in packs like the Grey wolves and African wild dogs. They hunt kangaroos,wallabies and other smaller marsupials.  To say, they are the  only largest terrestrial predator in Australia. There have been incidents of dingoes injuring and killing humans. Don't get deceived by their physical characteristic features.

The Tasmanian devil, having a small bear like appearance,  is honored as the largest carnivorous marsupial. Highly nocturnal, they feast on small marsupials, wallabies etc. Again popular for being a nasty predator as they are kleptoparasitical, i.e. who rob meals from other, predatory marsupials like quolls. Another deadly characteristic is their terrifying, threatening growl which can be heard from a distance only when the night sets in.
Beware, sea divers!! The cone snail shouldn't be taken for granted as it is another deadly killer. The bigger species of this snail are more brutal. Venom is lethal to humans. When this tiny killer stings with its long proboscis being its deadly weapon, the effect won't be noticed but see after one or two minutes, the victim will receive symptoms like muscle paralysis,vision impairment, respiratory failure  and can be fatal. Immediate medical care is a must.

So, I conclude that whatever creatures I have mentioned in Australia's deadliest blogs (1-3) are no docile by any means and so shouldn't be underestimated. 

The macropods like kangaroos and wallabies can kick, box in defense and not to forget their sharp clawed feet and their sharp nailed hands. They are also great vehicle destroyers. Even ,the cute and cuddly koala bears and wombats can deliver powerful, wounding scratches from their sharp claws. So, even, these most known Australian animals shouldn't be taken for granted, although they are not the deadliest.
