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

It lives in warm, wet coastal regions, monsoon forests, open woodland and grassy areas, including grazing paddocks and disused rubbish tips. It has adapted well to sugarcane fields, where it feeds on rodents. It shelters in abandoned animal burrows, hollow logs and piles of vegetation and litter.1

Inodya chii?
It mainly eats rats, mice and bandicoots, and will take birds when it has the chance. It scans for prey with its good eyesight, freezes when it finds a target, then strikes with several quick bites and releases the prey, which staggers away. This keeps the snake safer from retaliation by rats.1

Its venom is mainly neurotoxic, which means it attacks the nerves, and it is also coagulopathic, which means it disturbs blood clotting. In a recorded bite case, the victim became unwell within 15 to 30 minutes, with drooping eyelids, nausea and difficulty breathing. Some victims have also lost their sense of smell for a time.1

It is considered one of the most dangerous snakes in the region and is classified by the World Health Organization as a snake of medical importance. Several deaths were recorded from its bites in the 1930s and 1940s, and more were added later as historical cases.1

Chokwadi

1

The longest recorded coastal taipan was 2.9 m long and weighed 6.5 kg, and larger specimens of up to 3.3 m are widely believed to exist.1

2

Its hunting method, freezing, striking and releasing prey, is similar to that of the African black mamba.1

3

It is the second-longest venomous snake in Australia, after the king brown snake.1

4

Newly hatched young grow quickly, reaching about 1.0 m in their first year.1

5

It may have become more common since cane toads were introduced to Australia in 1935.1

Kuputsa ngano

Ngano: The snake hides in trees and drops onto people, and it chases people for hours.

Chokwadi: Stories of it hiding in trees and dropping on victims were spread in newspapers and books, but snake handlers say it is shy and avoids confrontation. It only becomes highly defensive when provoked.1
