10 times tourists were killed by wild animals

5. Crocodile Kills Night Swimmer

Animal attacks on tourists are common in Australia. Brown snakes, tiger snakes, redback spiders, blue-ring octopus, sharks, and saltwater crocodiles all pose a threat to humans. An experienced Australian tour guide should know the dangers.

In 2002, German tourist Isabel von Jordan was killed by a saltwater crocodile in Kakadu National Park. Despite signs warning against swimming in the Nourlangie Creek, the tour guide gave the go-ahead and the group went swimming. Von Jordan was dragged under the water by a 4.2m long crocodile. Rangers later killed the animal.
