MAINLAND TIGERSNAKE (NOTECHIS SCUTATUS)
The Mainland Tigersnake is another very dangerous venomous snake that is "homed" in Australia. Their venom has evolved almost completely 10 million years ago and is considered a challenger in the evolutionary race of venom. The venom of this snake makes the human body unable to clot, which is life-threatening. They appear along the southwest and southeast coasts of Australia, often living in areas close to homes, so they bring an incalculable danger to humans.
Mainland Tigersnake has a very aggressive and excitable nature, so it will be very dangerous and risky when faced with them. The venom of this snake is 50 times stronger than the venom of a common cobra. About 17% of all snakebites in Australia are attributed to the Mainland Tigersnake, with 4 deaths out of 119 bites.
The length of the Mainland Tigersnake ranges from 1 - 1.8m. Their venom has a great effect on the human nervous system.
