By now, we know that pretty much every creature crawling over the gosh-forsaken clump of rock and sand could seriously maim us if they wanted.

Spiders are toxic.

Kangaroos could clobber you to death

And snakes are venomous as heck (a scientific term, of course).

We know this.

But just look at how fast snakes actually can be.

The footage, watched more than 7000 times since Monday, is the stuff of nightmares.

Because it’s not enough that their bite can kill a grown human, but by the looks of things they could outrun one too.

And they don’t even have legs.

Damn Australia, you scary.
