Taipan snake, commonly known as inland Taipan snake, used to be called inland shield-tipped snake, and there are other aliases such as desert fierce snake, fierce Taipan snake and great spotted snake. It is the most poisonous terrestrial snake species in the world. It can kill 200,000 mice with one venom. Its size is smaller than that of ordinary Taipan snake, and its adult snake is only about 2 meters (6.5 feet). Taipan snake is shy by nature. When defending, its body will leave the ground.

It is distributed in and near the Victoria Desert in central Australia, inhabiting uninhabited dry plains, grasslands, deserts and dry river beds. The inland Taipan snake has a gentle personality. If provoked, it will stand up in an S-shape. The attack speed is so fast that it is almost invisible to the human eye. Often, before human beings can react, they have been bitten by its fangs for many times.

Habitat environment of Taipan snake

Taipan snakes often live in rat holes (the original owners of caves are often eaten by them), deep surface cracks or caves, and sometimes they live in crevices and wall caves. Inland Taipan snakes feed on frogs, toads and small mammals. Inland Taipan snakes often hunt rodents and small marsupials in the dry mud cracks on the floodplain.
