Calm Inland Taipan - world's venomest snake - one bite can kill 100 adults

The inland taipan (Oxyuranus microlepidotus), also commonly known as the western taipan, the small-scaled snake or the fierce snake, is a species of extremely venomous snake in the family Elapidae. The species is endemic to semi-arid regions of central east Australia. Aboriginal Australians living in those regions named the snake Dandarabilla. Based on the median lethal dose value in mice, the venom of the inland taipan is by far the most toxic of any snake – much more so than even that of sea snakes – and it has the most toxic venom of any reptile when tested on human heart cell culture. Unlike most snakes, the inland taipan is a specialist hunter of mammals so its venom is specially adapted to kill warm-blooded species. It is estimated that one bite possesses enough lethality to kill at least 100 fully grown men, and, depending on the nature of the bite, it has the potential to kill someone in as little as 30 to 45 minutes if left untreated. It is an extremely fast and agile snake that can strike instantly with extreme accuracy, often striking multiple times in the same attack, and it envenomates in almost every case. Although extremely venomous and a capable striker, in contrast to the rather aggressive coastal taipan, the inland taipan is usually quite a shy and reclusive snake, with a placid disposition, and prefers to escape from trouble. However, it will defend itself and strike if provoked, mishandled, or prevented from escaping. Because it lives in such remote locations, the inland taipan seldom comes in contact with people; therefore it is not considered the deadliest snake in the world overall, especially in terms of disposition and human deaths per year. The word fierce from its alternative name describes its venom, not its temperament. 16664

Inland Taipan

The most venomous snake in the world after laboratory trials on both mice and human heart tissue.

A mate and I drove about a 1000km from Adelaide to look for this snake, we then spent three days driving through the most desolate habitat i have ever seen, known as the moon plain. It is all sodic soils with cracks and rocks, hardly a living thing in sight. It was such a relief to find one on day three after another 1300km of driving back and forth through their habitat. During the three days the only other vertebrates we saw was one Bustard and 4 Eyrean Earless Dragons.
