It's no secret that Australian wildlife runs the gamut of alien, to huge, to venomous, to dangerous, to huge again, to just plain freaky. It's a good reminder that most of us don't have to check our shoes for snakes, or run the risk of stepping on a spider that's so big it should pay rent. For some more scariness, here are ominous signs that speak the language of fear.

They average between 3.1 to 4.2 meters (10 to 14 ft) long but can get up to 8 meters (26 ft) long. This crew of scientists got a good look at one. These group is also credited with being the first ever to tag an animal from a submarine. Look at that eye roll into the back of it's head.

Here are signs that are either on purpose or accidentally very scary, and doing a great job at keeping people away. For more, check out these scary signs that mean business.
"Rare!!! Slow and very powerful avalanche. We hear the sound of trees that break!!!" reads video's caption.
