Description
Coastal Taipan , Australian native snake , is the 3rd Most Venomous Snake In The World. This pic was taken behind glass in Taronga Zoo in Sydney.
Confident in its own splendid lethality, the Coastal Taipan is not one to back away from a close or surprise encounter. However, given the chance (and plenty of space), this maligned and misunderstood snake will always prefer a vanishing act over a showdown.
Average length around 2m (total), with males growing slightly larger than females. The Coastal Taipan has been reported to grow to over 3 metres .
This species is sometimes confused with Brown snake. The Taipan is usually distinguished by its pale face and snout, large head and slender neck.
