I know there's been talk in other threads about the 72 Dangerous Animals series, but I have to ask, does anyone have a full list of the 72 dangerous animals from the "Australia" series? It's the only one of the three I can't find.

Ok, I have watched the series, but I don't entirely remember the roster of animals that were featured there. I tried to look up in Dailymotion, but episode 3, 7, 9, and 11 are missing. Which brings me to these animals:

In what way is an Aust., bustard a dangerous animal? I cannot think of any danger to humans from this bird, except maybe a scratch or two! Most of the others mentioned are really not a problem, unless provoked, or accidentally close encountered. Over many years I have had opportunities to film or photograph most of the mentioned species, often quite close-up encounters, but have rarely been threatened by any of them. Standing still or simply slowly walking away seems to be the safest action. Rarely have I needed to move very quickly to avoid being attacked. Common sense is always a good defence. I do not include sea creatures, and have had little experience with these.

Well they certainly are pretty darn loud, and can be pretty intimidating, but the only mild damage it can do is through peck, so the episode it was in it placed last at sixth. Sometimes these "dangerous" animals aren't actually even dangerous, but they look intimidating. Tasmanian Tiger had been long extinct, despite the rumors of sightings, so it placed dead last.
How about a cane toad? Unless one is eaten, then surely this is not really a dangerous animal.
They are very invasive, and are toxic. While the poison won't work unless digested, they still can cause mild irritation to skin and eye as well.
They placed third-fourth if I remembered it correctly, since their episode are missing in Dailymotion.
Oh, I forgot. You wanna know something that's even more stupid?? They put Red Panda as one of the 72 dangerous animals in Asia. Yeah, THAT Red Panda. Unsurprisingly it placed last. Surprisingly it's bigger cousin, Giant Panda, didn't make it, even though it has been known to attack humans as well.
