Yes, a wide angle is highly recommended shooting dangerous animals.
For the next time I suggest a cobra, or with underwater equipment, a stingray.

Here I am with a stingray ;)

Living life on the edge 8)
If that was me, after hearing about Steve Irwin, I'd be wearing this ;D

Steve Erwin really was a very unfortunate accident, stingrays are incredibly docile and rarely use their stinger, even when attacked by sharks. I have taken many nervous divers right up to them and stroked their noses, but you must never, ever, swim over them. I believe that is what happened to him in murky poor visibility water.

Yes, that was my understanding too. An extremely rare and tragic freak accident. Ironic that after being around deadly snakes and crocs so many times , he was killed by such a docile fish. I watched his show without fail. He was so enthusiastic about nature and such a wonderful person.

"Crikey"!
