Coastal taipan
The coastal taipan is one of the most feared snakes in Australia. It is a large, fast snake with a powerful venom, and it lives along the coasts of northern and eastern Australia and on the island of New Guinea. It is one of the reasons snake bite safety matters so much in these areas.1
