But in the year 2019, when there was a fire in the forests of Australia, these spiders hid underground and then later when there was a flood after heavy rains, these spiders came out and reached the populated areas. They made many cities of Australia their base. Friends, if these spiders bite a person once, it is almost impossible for him to survive. In fact, the poison of this spider directly stops the pumping of the human heart. That is why if timely treatment is not received, the person dies within 15 minutes.
Friends, not only dangerous spiders but Australia is also home to the 20 most deadly snakes in the world. Saltwater crocodiles are found in the coastal areas of Australia. Great white sharks and poisonous jellyfish are found in abundance in the seas here. Friends, there are some birds found in Australia which even make humans their prey if they get a chance.

As soon as their prey comes near them, they pounce and catch it with their front paws and then release their poisonous saliva into the victim’s body with the help of their sting. Their saliva is so dangerous that it instantly paralyzes their prey and then within a short time they fall asleep.
After which this insect happily makes them its food. Friends, this insect is so dangerous that it kills and eats everything from small fish to turtle babies and sometimes even snakes. Well, all the creatures we have learned about till now are found in Australia today. But have you ever tried to know how this country was in the past? Friends, about 50 thousand years ago, ancient humans had set foot on the land of Australia. Just think about it. Today, despite being so prosperous, this country is home to such dangerous creatures, then how dangerous this country must have been when ancient humans had set foot on the earth thousands of years ago.
Friends, let us know about those creatures who made the land of Australia their home thousands of years ago. Queen Kanha. Friends, Queen Kanha is known as a terrestrial crocodile because while the habitat of other crocodiles is water, Queen Kanha prefers to live on land. Kanha’s fossils show that its legs were long and very strong. They did not have claws, rather they had hooves like animals like cow and buffalo, due to which they used to run jumping when needed.
He could run at a speed of 30 to 50 kmph. Friends, most of these adults were up to 10 feet tall and weighed 200 kg. However, some such fossils have also been found which prove that the length of some of them was up to 20 feet. Looking at their large size and running speed, it is clear that when ancient humans set foot on Australian soil, getting food would have been a big problem for them. Megalodon or friends, like Kanha, Megalodon also existed in Australia thousands of years ago.
Melania looked like a lizard. But friends, do not make the mistake of comparing Melania with a domestic lizard because it was a species of giant monitor lizard. You can consider the Komodo dragon as their close relative. Although Melania was bigger in size than the Komodo dragon. Where the size of the Komodo dragon. It is up to 10 feet, right there. Melania was up to 26 feet tall. Melania’s paws were wide and nails were like those of cats, due to which she could easily climb trees. However, some fossils of Melania show that they were quite heavy.
Their weight used to be up to 575 kg. In such a situation, perhaps only Melania’s children would have been able to climb trees because it would have been impossible for adults to climb trees with such heavy weight. Friends, Melania’s teeth were very sharp and curved backwards, which would have made it very easy for them to catch prey. Melania’s skull was broad. Due to this, some scientists speculate that Melania may have venom glands and fangs like snakes.
Now just imagine, if a 25 feet long monitor lizard would have been standing in front of an ancient human with poison in its teeth, then how would they have fought with it? That name, friends, is also a species of snake which lives in Africa along with Quintana and Melania. But it existed thousands of years ago. Although it was a non-poisonous snake, it was equal to a big python in size. Their fossils show that their length was six meters or more. Their method of hunting was also quite similar to that of snakes like python and boa.
Actually, Gulabi used to sit in ambush near the water and as soon as its prey came near it, it would grab its prey from all sides. This stiffness was so severe that the blood flow in the victim’s body stopped. Blood could not reach their brain and heart, due to which their victims would become unconscious within a short time. Friends, Gulabi’s head was hard and small due to which it could not swallow its prey. That is why when their prey became unconscious, they would cut their prey into small pieces with the help of their sharp teeth and then eat them with great pleasure.
This type of horrific death may have been quite common for ancient humans in Australia because even today such deaths by snakes are common among Australian aboriginal tribes. Island Proto Dawn. Friends, thousands of years ago Australia was also home to such mammals which had a pouch on their stomach in which they used to carry their newborn children. To date, the largest animal on our earth is the kangaroo. But when ancient humans stepped on Australian soil thousands of years ago, the largest creature at that time was Proto Don.
Their size was equal to that of an elephant. Friends, although this creature was vegetarian, hence it would not have attacked anyone without any reason, but its fossils have shown that its jaws were very strong. That is, if any creature or human being provoked it by mistake, then it would have the capacity to bite its enemy with 10 thousand PSI force, which was enough power to break the bones of its enemy. Jenny and friends, apart from giant animals, birds in pre-historic Australia were also of super size, among which Jenny and her name come out on top.
They looked like terror birds, but actually they belonged to the family of flightless birds or thunderbirds. Friends, they were quite scary in appearance, but they were completely vegetarian. Like the rest of the Thunderbird family members, what made Janie most terrifying was her size. They were up to six and a half feet long. That means they were taller than humans. In addition, Jenny had huge strong bones, which gave it durability and heaviness, increasing its weight to a quarter ton. Due to their huge weight and huge size, no creature made the mistake of messing with them. Friends, apart from all these creatures, there are many more in pre-historic Australia.
Dangerous creatures including giant tortoises and dangerous crocodiles were also present. But ancient humans lost to them. Didn’t agree. He faced them boldly, the result of which is in front of you all today. Population of Australia today. It is around 35 crores which somehow proves that the ancient humans of pre-historic Australia.
