When millions took to the streets of  Egypt  in January 2011, following in the footsteps of the revolution in Tunisia, many claimed that this would be the beginning of a new era for Egypt and the  Middle East  as a whole. The angry outcries against the dictatorship of Mubarak and his men echoed throughout the  world  and amassed support internationally.

You may not believe it now, but you will after you see this list. The next time you think of going on a trip to Australia.. don’t.

EVERYTHING. 2) Pythons grow to be so big they can lift a wallaby. 3) They also like to explore malls, terrifying shoppers. 4) Snakes can climb up your toilets.
