03. Sharks in Land-Locked Lakes



 Bull sharks are perhaps the most widely known freshwater sharks, often found in rivers and bays. In rare circumstances, flooding may carry the sharks over land, depositing them in land-locked lakes. The aforementioned circumstance took place in Australia in 2007, depositing 10 large bull sharks into a lake on a golf course. Months passed, and the sharks remained, growing in size and number. Despite the inherent dangers, course players grew to like the sharks, and the owners did too, as it discouraged local children from coming to the lake in an attempt to take lost golf balls.

01. Tarantulas in England



English readers, beware! As if being stalked by panthers wasn’t bad enough, you have Chilean Rose Tarantulas to fear as well. Growing up to 10 inches in length, these spiders arrive in shipping containers from their homeland in Central America. During particularly hot and humid months, the spiders may breed. Although a widespread colony has not yet been discovered, a handful have been found over a number of years. If found, do not approach the creature; when threatened, the spider uses its hind legs to flick small barbs at any predators, causing extreme pain and even blindness. Just do what most others do when they see a massive spider, and run the hell away!
