Oxyuranus microlepidotus, or the inland taipan, is a snake found in Australia. It has the most toxic venom of any land snake. However, there are no recorded deaths from its bite.
The head and neck do not have a distinct separation. The scales are light brown to black, and its underbelly is creamy to light yellow. The snake is 6.5-8.8 feet, or 2-2.7 meters. It is more likely to retreat if approached.
The inland taipan’s venom contains enzymes and other agents that paralyse nerve endings, destroy muscle tissue and cause severe bleeding. Their fangs are ¼ inch long. Due to where they live, very few people have been bitten, and those who have were professionals.
