Of Course, a Stinging Tree
Australia is known for its unique wildlife and natural features, and it’s no surprise that even warning signs about a stinging tree exist there. In this case, the tree in question is scientifically known as Dendrocnide excels, but it is commonly referred to as the Giant Stinging Tree.
The tiny hairs on this tree contain peptides that closely resemble spider venom. Why this specific tree injects unsuspecting individuals with venom remains a mystery, but the consequences can be excruciatingly painful and persist for several months.
