13 proofs that monsters exist—and they live in Australia (13 photos)

Australia is a very distant continent, so much so that many people joke that everything there is upside down. From childhood, we hear about Australia and how fascinating it is – it's the only home to kangaroos and cute koalas.





But the older we get, the more details we learn. Enormous spiders, long snakes and pythons, crocodiles that come to visit under your house, and a host of other impressive and terrifying creatures await the unprepared tourist in Australia, which only proves that this country is the true home of various fantastical creatures.
