72 Dangerous Animals: Australia is a thrilling documentary series produced by National Geographic in 2014. The series explores the many deadly animals that inhabit the diverse continent of Australia, with expert wildlife presenter Bob Brisbane as the informative and engaging host.

Throughout the series, Brisbane takes viewers on a journey to showcase some of the most dangerous and deadly creatures on the continent, ranging from venomous snakes, spiders and jellyfish to ferocious crocodiles, sharks and saltwater crocodiles. He provides expert insights and advice on how to stay safe among the dangerous wildlife, while also exploring the animals' unique behaviors and habitats in order to gain a deeper understanding of the complex ecosystem of Australia.

The show is divided into six different episodes, each focusing on a different category of dangerous animals. The first episode, "Venomous Animals," explores some of the deadliest snakes, spiders and other creatures that use toxins to kill their prey. With expert knowledge and quick reflexes, Brisbane captures a variety of snakes, including the inland taipan, which has the deadliest venom in the world. He also encounters venomous spiders such as the funnel-web spider, which can cause serious harm to humans.

In the second episode, "Predators," Brisbane takes a closer look at Australia's most dangerous predators, including crocodiles, sharks, and Saltwater crocodiles.

In the fourth episode, "Poisonous Creatures," Brisbane explores animals that can be deadly to humans even if they don't actually attack. From the toxic cane toad to the venomous box jellyfish, Brisbane delves into the unique ways these creatures are equipped to protect themselves against predators - often at the expense of humans who accidentally cross their toxic paths.

The fifth episode, "Beasts," focuses on the larger and more fearsome creatures of Australia that can quickly turn deadly when provoked or threatened. These include the saltwater crocodile, the largest reptile in the world, and the Tasmanian devil, a small marsupial with powerful jaws and a fierce temperament.

Finally, the sixth episode, "The Deadliest," showcases Australia's most lethal and feared animals. From spiders to snakes, jellyfish to crocodiles, Brisbane provides a comprehensive overview of the deadliest creatures that make this continent both fascinating and deadly.
