Els aborígens australians que viuen en aquestes regions van nomenar a la serp dandarabilla. L'espècie és endèmica de les regions semiàrides del centre est d'Austràlia.
El taipan ferotge (Oxyuranus microlepidotus) és una espècie de serp extremadament verinosa de la família dels Elàpids. They are protected by law, and designated ‘least concern’ on the IUCN Red ListĮvery snake in Australia is protected by law, and despite some habitat destruction, their population is not considered to be in decline. They lay these eggs in abandoned burrows and they take 2 months to hatch. These giant lizards will aggressively compete with the inland taipan for food. The perentie is the largest monitor lizard in Australia. They compete with large monitor lizards for food The mulga snake (Pseudechis australis) eats multiple snake species and is immune to the venom of the inland taipan snake. They have only one predator, the mulga snake This helps them regulate their temperature as darker colours absorb more heat, helping them stay warm in winter. They become lighter in summer and darker in winter. They strike at lightning-fast speed, with as many as 8 bites in one attack. They attack fast and strike up to 8 times When encountering humans in the wild, they are most likely to run away. Reptile handlers consider them relatively easy to work with as they are rarely aggressive. There have been no recorded deaths since the creation of the anti-venomĮssentially all bites from the inland taipan in recent years have been herpetologists studying the snakes, and none of these have been fatal. His research was key for developing the anti-venom. The anti-venom was developed in 1955Īn amateur studier of snakes called Kevin Budden was the first person to catch a live taipan snake and died in the process. This is because they live in areas where there aren’t many people. So, while they are the most venomous, they are not the deadliest snake. Symptoms of a bite include headache, vomiting, stomach pain, collapse, and convulsions. This is what makes them so venomous to humans as the toxins in their venom are designed to be deadly to warm-blooded animals. They have evolved specifically to kill mammals The venom in one bite is thought to be enough to kill 100 adults. Tests using human cell cultures show that they are the most venomous of all tested snakes. Females lay 12-24 eggs in crevices or abandoned burrows. They are solitary, coming together only to mate. There have been no recorded deaths since the creation of the anti-venom in 1955. While they are the most venomous, they are not the deadliest snake as they rarely come into contact with humans. They are most active during the cool hours of the morning and stay in the shade for the rest of the day. 
They hunt mammals, specifically various species of rat, with venom that is designed to be deadly to warm-blooded animals. They are native to central and eastern Australia in dry areas and are commonly known as the western taipan, the small-scaled snake, or the fierce snake.
The venom of one bite is strong enough to kill 100 men. The inland taipan (Oxyuranus microlepidotus) is the most venomous snake in the world.
