It's no secret that Australia is home to some of the world's most dangerous animals. There are, for example, some 220 species of snake in the country, and 145 of them are venomous.

Police in Australia said a woman was forced to fend off a deadly tiger snake in her vehicle while driving 50 miles per hour on a freeway outside Melbourne.

An Australian family discovered a tiger snake hiding under a child's toy on Christmas night, and reptile catcher Mark Pelley answered the call, removing the snake without any injuries.
