Dangerous, deadly and just plain mean!

Ever wondered about how safe Australia’s wildlife is … and how to avoid it? The Australian Museum’s newest mobile app provides information about different types of dangerous / potentially dangerous animals that inhabit Australia, where to find them and what to do when confronted by one.

We plan to launch our app in a few weeks, but meanwhile we need your help. What would you call an app that provides info about creatures as diverse as a Box Jellyfish, Platypus, Cassowary or even a Drop Bear?! Give us your thoughts in 25 characters or less and you could win a free download and some other cool stuff too.

(Oh, we have been using a working title of Dangerous Australians but we cannot use this for copyright reasons – hence our dilemma).

Please leave your suggestions here and thanks in advance!

Thnx for these suggestions everyone! I think Russ would kill me if we used any title with an "i" in it (altho I do love iBite)! I was thinking (based on Mark's comment) of the Attack of the Killer Animals, but yes it is lame and way too long.

We may lean towards the DangerAus / DangerOz palthway I'm thinking...
