The Inland Taipan (also known as Fierce Snake ) is the worlds most venemous land snake. It inhabits an area of Central Australia bordering S/W Queensland and N/E South Australia and possibly other isolated areas. Though incredibly venemous there have been no known fatalities from this snake, mainly because it lives in such isolated areas and is relatively placid.

What is the world's most venomous land snake?

The Inland Taipan, also known as the Fierce Snake, has the most toxic venom of all the world's land snakes. The maximum survival time recorded after a Taipan's bite is not more than one hour. The Taipan has three major sub-species: the Western or Inland Taipan ( Oxyuranus Microlepidotus ) or ( Fierce Snake ) , Papuan Taipan ( Oxyuranus s. canni ) and Common or Coastal Taipan ( Oxyuranus Scutellatus ). The Inland Taipan is much more toxic than Oxyuranus Scutellatus and Oxyuranus S. Canni. The maximum yield recorded (from a single bite of Inland Taipan) is 110mg. Just a few mg of Inland Taipan's venom is enough to kill over 100 people or 250,000 mice. Australia's Western or Inland Taipan or Fierce Snake is the world's most toxic venomous snake.

What are the relatives of the inland taipan?

They are eaten by the Mulga Snake (Pseudechis Australis), also known as the King Brown, which is actually a species of Black Snake. They are immune to most Australian snake venom, and are the second largest venomous snake after the Coastal Taipan. The Perentie Goanna is Australia's' largest monitor lizard which actively hunts venomous snakes such as the Inland Taipan and King Brown, amongst others. It is also immune, or partially immune to most venom, but some venom may temporary immobilize it, or slow it down.
