Central Ranges taipan
ÌbùjẹThe Central Ranges taipan is a large, fast-moving snake with extremely strong venom. It was only discovered in 2007, when Australian researchers identified it as a new species. It lives in the deserts of central Australia, and it matters because scientists are still learning about it.1

Its venom has been tested only on mice so far. An LD50 of 0.075 mg/kg was measured, which is the dose that kills half of the test animals. This suggests the snake is extremely dangerous to a person if bitten, though it is less toxic than the inland taipan.1
