This picture taken on August 5, 2013 shows a green tree snake recovered by snake catcher Andrew Melrose from a house in Sydney. They are the nightmare tenants who can live undetected alongside Australian families for years: the worlds deadliest snakes. Australia is home to some of the most venomous species including the lethal eastern brown, which thrive in urban areas where rubbish bins attract prey such as rats and mice.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print taken by Saeed Khan from Agence France-Presse (AFP) showcases the fascinating yet dangerous wildlife of Australia. Dated August 5,2013, the image captures snake catcher Andrew Melrose recovering a green tree snake from a house in Sydney. These slithering creatures are often referred to as nightmare tenants due to their ability to live undetected alongside Australian families for years. Australia is renowned for being home to some of the world's deadliest snakes, including the lethal eastern brown species. Thriving in urban areas where rubbish bins attract prey such as rats and mice, these venomous snakes pose a significant threat to human populations. The photograph not only highlights the expertise and bravery of snake catchers like Andrew Melrose but also sheds light on the coexistence between humans and wildlife in Australia. It serves as a reminder that despite its stunning landscapes and diverse ecosystems, this continent can be both beautiful and perilous. Saeed Khan's skillful composition captures the essence of this moment with precision. The horizontal frame allows viewers to fully appreciate both the vibrant colors of nature and the intricate details of these reptiles up close. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are reminded of Australia's unique biodiversity while simultaneously acknowledging our shared responsibility in preserving it harmoniously with our own lives.
