Australia is full of poisonous snakes, but it is the "most poisonous king on land", and the cobra has to step aside in front of it, it is the Taipan snake.
Why can it sit on the throne of an uncrowned king? The most toxic, rapid attack, a mouthful of venom can kill 100 people immediately, and 100% clinical fatality rate, once a human is bitten within 10 minutes without anti-venom, will die immediately.
It is recorded that all patients bitten by Taipan snakes were rescued, accompanied by a lifetime of sequelae of coagulation disorders. With its low-key appearance, it is not ordinary at all.
It is found in the eastern and northern coasts of Australia and New Guinea. The head is slender and the forehead is slightly curved forward, much like a coffin. The lines are smooth and slender, and the color of the back and abdomen of the whole body is almost the same, generally dark green, brown, reddish-brown. It looks a little like the black mamba in Africa.
Although it is the most venomous snake on land, it generally eats only small animals, such as mice, birds and frogs. Often haunts the woods, has a relatively gentle personality, and does not actively attack people, but if it is angered, the consequences are unbearable!
Taipan snakes are usually divided into three categories according to their distribution, inland taipan snakes, middle land taipan snakes, and coastal taipan snakes. The family is a top student, far ahead in the ranking list of poison kings, among which the most toxic is the inland Taipan snake.
The length of the Taipan snake is generally 1.2-2 meters, and the world's largest recorded taipan snake is 3.3 meters long and weighs 6.5kg.
In addition to being the most toxic, the Taipan snake also has the fastest continuous attack speed, up to one-fiftieth of a second, and humans can't react at all. The Taipan snake is different from other snakes in that ordinary snakes bite their prey when they attack, waiting for the venom in their fangs to be injected. The Taipan snake is quite ferocious, and it only takes a bite to inject venom.
So it generally likes to take a bite first to see the situation and then decide whether to mend the knife.
The symptoms after being bitten by the Taipan snake are also different from other snakes, most of which are blood-circulating poison, and venom enters the bloodstream. Once a human being is bitten by climbing, it will immediately bleed, double shadows appear in front of the eyes (like eating toadstools), and then the whole body function gradually stops until it is paralyzed and suffocates to death.
The toxin of the Taipan snake can cause kidney failure, heavy bleeding, and damage to muscle tissue, so if you do not seek medical attention for antivenom injection within a few minutes, the mortality rate is 100%.
At present, there are many Australian taipan snakes, which are not an endangered animal, and they are also the strongest poisonous snakes in the inland that are well-known to Australians. If you have the opportunity to see it, take care!
