The Inland Taipan, native to Australia, is considered the snake with the deadliest venom.

Its venom is incredibly potent, with a single bite containing enough venom to kill over 100 humans.

However, due to its shy nature and remote habitate, it is not responsible for many human fatalities.

Its venom is highly efficient at paralysing and killing prey, primarily rodents, quickly.

The effects of the venom can be seen within minutes, and death can occur within an hour without immediate treatment.

They are not aggressive and will only bite if provoked, mishandled, or prevented from escaping.

They are slender snakes, typically 6 to 8 feet long, with a body colour that varies from pale fawn to dark brown.

They inhabit semi-arid regions, specifically black soil plains, floodplains, and gibber plains.
