Inland taipan (Fierce snake) - the most venomous snake in the world!

The Inland taipan (Oxyuranus microlepidotus) is the most venomous snake in the world. It has an extremely toxic venom and it is often called the Fierce snake. Venom from one bite can kill 100 adult humans. This species is the most deadly snake of them all, but does it mean that it is also the most dangerous snake on our planet? Let's travel to vast black soil plains of Australia and see Inland taipans in their natural habitat!

I was bitten by an inland Taipan about 40 years ago at a mine site, lucky for me antidotes were at the ready, but I was knocked out for 4 weeks. I still feel the effects 40 years on. This gave me shivers seeing you so close to it but an awesome video nonetheless.

This is incredible, no unwanted voice, no disturbance. You guys are amazing, this needs to be viral in top herping and exploring videos. Keep sharing such contents.

That was awesome. The inland Taipan is a snake every Australian knows about but will probably never see in their lifetime especially in its natural environment. Bravo

Phenomenal photography. With so little vegetation to get in the way you have shown off this beautiful creature perfectly. Those colours! Oh and your signature sparse, concise commentary just fits. No music, no chunter, just what we need. I love it. Thank you!

I came face to face with one of these in Kalbarri, Western Australia a few years ago. He was laying on a sandy bush track a few metres in front of me, so I stopped dead still, mid stride. The snake froze, just like I did and we stared at each other for what seemed like an eternity. It was the Australian summer, so he was a bright golden colour with a jet black head, around 1.5 metres long. After about 30 seconds, in a burst of insane speed, he turned around 180 degrees and bolted into the undergrowth. I didn't have time to take a photo, but I was lucky enough to get a really good up close look at him. Incredible looking snake.

Probably best footage ever taken from the Taipan.

Wow! The silence was deafening. You left it to the visuals do all the talking. Brilliant!

That yawn (?) at 3:46 was so cute. They may be incredibly venomous but that doesn't stop them from being adorable

This snake definitely needs to be respected. It's venom is lethal

I worked at RAAF Tindal for a few years, the oxy workshop is a clean lab and has adhesive floor pads at the entrance to provide initial cleaning for footwear. Arriving to work one morning there was a Taipan stuck on the pad so I carefully coaxed it in to a container. Its stomach had some damage where it tried to wriggle free overnight but kept getting stuck. Took it home and fed it meat for a couple of days, allowing it to recover in a safe environment which was an old fish tank. Released it about a week later, drove off deep in to the bush so it wouldn't wander back on base. Amazing creatures, it's not their fault we build on their land so it's only right to keep them safe. Thanks for this vid, some spectacular footage.

Absolutely beautiful cinematography, just showing this formidable snake in its natural environment. A snake to be respected and left alone!

I love this channel’s style. The usage of only ambient noise from the habitat really enhances the video.

[josefmazzeo]

Amazing shots guys! Also the "quiet" format is refreshing - no dramatic music or narration. When you said you could be on Mars or the Moon you weren't kidding, I had the same thought. It's amazing that ANYTHING could survive there. Even the rodents are few and far between. I would hate to have a breakdown there!

[lukthere]

This format of video is great. No stupid dramatic music or a voice over. Just great detailed shots of the animal in it's actual environment and natural background sounds. Thanks👌👌

I was privileged enough to actually see one in the wild last year. I was travelling to Birdsville, knowing I was in the region. I was still amazing to actually come across one. Driving at 100kmh, I dodged and overshot it. Reversing back to look, I was expecting it to be a Mulga or brown. My shock and delight when it turned and was unmistakably an Inland Taipan. Holy cow!

[BenjaminTXN]

Awesome filming art, I love how you let the snake be the star of the Show. They are so Beautiful and you guys give us the opportunity to see them it their own habitat. Thank you!

[tusharlfc]

Its a reward of nature to this beautiful snake for surving in this inhabitants remote place of millions of years struggle in earth, its deserved to be respected ❤ 🙏

[FinalLifeForm]

Top level footage of this beautiful species. I enjoy Living Zoology so much. They really set the bar.

[llchapman]

How is it that these magnificent videos don't get more views? They rival any documentary I've ever watched. Gorgeous, simply beautiful.

What a wonderful and accurate depiction..and the best part, the sound
