Meet someone who’s peaceful and shy – but take care, he’s considered among the most venomous snakes in the world!
The inland taipan is common to the semi-arid regions of central east Australia. Its venom is considered to be the most toxic among all snakes. In spite of the deadly weapon they carry, these snakes are usually shy and like to be left alone. But they defend themselves fiercely, when provoked or harmed. First the snake raises the front of its body in an S-shaped curve, to make a warning display. If the adversary ignores this warning, it will strike instantly and accurately.
These shy inland snakes have a relative in the coastal regions, the coastal taipans, which are aggressive.
