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! - Домашні улюбленці та дикі тварини
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!
Many thanks! It is important to hear that our video style is great! We want to show snakes as peaceful and beautiful animals. Please consider supporting us by becoming a member of our channel! We would love to keep doing what we do but the basic UA-cam revenue is not enough for funding our filming trips.
Just as being curious, is there one you got to show up a male or female?
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.

@@LivingZoology You are all mentally ill
No thanks to that idea Rhythm I hate all poisonous snakes
@@LivingZoology Beautiful All poisonous snakes are ugly I hate em
@@robertmoir5695 Did snakes do something bad to you?
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
Thank you very much! We reserved one week to find one and then boom, 4 in the first morning!
Is this same as Papuan taipan or are they long distance cousin
Wow! The scariest aspect is that almost all venomous snakes in the US have big heads, thick bodies, &/or beautiful markings that shout “stay back.” I fear that a young Inland Taipan could look like a neat pet shop snake if encountered in the wrong part of the world. Reminds me of a harmless rat snake or even a gopher snake in the US. Rat snakes here can have many patterns & colors depending upon region.
@@fikriarieska8450
The Papuan Taipan is pretty much the same as the Australian coastal Taipan, Oxyuranus scutellatus.
@@LivingZoologyand if you went back there again to the same spot, you might not see any over a month.
Point is, luck played a part in you finding the ones you did, and I'm glad you were lucky.
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.
Thanks for sharing your story! What effects do you still feel after 40 years? We really enjoyed working with these snakes, of course the safety was our priority.
After 40 years I have massive muscle cramps if I'm a bit slack on working out each day to keep up my muscle tone, the cramps are all though our my body and the only relief is to work out. At over 60 years old now it is more important as muscle tone decreases with age.
@@aussietaipan8700 Wow, very interesting to hear and we wish you that it will only get better!
@@aussietaipan8700 you telling me that if this snake bites someone we will have cramps forever?
@@rafael6693that's if you survive i guess 😅😢
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.
Kalbarri is far away from the range of the Inland taipan. It was probably a Western brown snake. This species is incredibly fast, faster than the Inland taipan.
This snake definitely needs to be respected. It's venom is lethal
Well said and we agree with you!
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!
These snakes are not easy to find! Sometimes you need luck! Now imagine how lucky we were when we found 4 of them in 3 hours one morning!
@@catchapredator1413 meno male!
Stayed in birdsville at the hotel before 10 nights in tents out in the simpson desert .Drove 2000 km thrue the desert . And I missed the taipan. Sad ore Lucky 😒
NO, cows are bigger, and they stare a lot.
I came across one in similar circumstances near Tibooburra. I had to back up to watch it too. It was in no hurry to get away either.
I love this channel’s style. The usage of only ambient noise from the habitat really enhances the video.
It is always great to hear this! We want to present snakes in a different way than most other documentaries, as peaceful and beautiful animals. Please consider becoming a member to support us in doing this work!
@@LivingZoology bello un serpente? Pacifico poi...
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!
Thanks for watching! Great that you love our video! 🙂
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.
Thank you for watching and thank you for saving that snake!
@@LivingZoology They're amazing creatures as you know mate. Not being able to "tame" them like a dog or a cat, just mutual respect, it's quite humbling to experience. Snakes get a lot of hate but people forget we build houses and towns on what once was their homes. Got some footage somewhere of a western brown I relocated from an office I used to work in, and some great footage of a Stimson python I raised from a youngen who lived for 22 years. My mum used to hate snakes but once she met Sox (the Stimson) she was sewing little heatbags and blankets with his name on them! Melts the heart :)
Peace mate
@@----.__ Awesome that your mum started to love snakes! :) Snakes are just awesome and they deserve our respect!
Probably best footage ever taken from the Taipan.
Thank you very much! We are happy that you think so.
Excellent photography.
Great that you love it! It is very difficult to find these snakes and we were lucky. We found 4 individuals in 3 hours!
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!

Top level footage of this beautiful species. I enjoy Living Zoology so much. They really set the bar.
We are very happy that you think so!!! Please share our work with others so we get more viewers!
Another brilliant video. I am so happy to see the Aussie snakes. You do such amazing photography.
♥️ From Australia
Thank you so much! Lot of footage from Australia is yet to come! We really loved our trip and we hope to come back one day!
What an awesome video!
The silence just makes the video so much more barren.
Great stuff
Glad you enjoyed it! The goal is to make you feel like you are in the habitat of this snake!
Great video! Thanks for leaving the natural soundscape in-place.
Glad you liked it! Our pleasure!
I am in awe at the stunning quality of your work. Every element is magnificent, from the pictures you've captured to the peace and beauty of each shot. This is such a beautiful video.
Many many thanks! It is great that you love our content!
Absolutely beautiful photography, this was a delight to watch, and I appreciated the minimal commentary.
Thank you very much, great that you love it!
When in the Southeast of the Northern Territory with the military, we knew that a bite from one of these would result in death. I have been around the world, but the desolate Frontiers of Northern Australia was the most formidable place to survive.
Yes, that part of Australia is harsh! Of course a bite in those conditions is a very dangerous thing!
@@LivingZoology Great video, I recommend it to everyone.
@@simonpaterson9648 Thank you very much!
Wow! The silence was deafening. You left it to the visuals do all the talking. Brilliant!
Thank you! 😊 Great that you love our video!
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 ❤ 🙏
Thanks for watching! This snake is stunning, we agree!
I just love watching your videos. So much informative. Love your work❤️
Thank you very much!!! 🙏❤️
Great little film. The bit at the end was worrying though. As an Australian, I was told at a young age, and do as a matter of courtesy , stay away from the endo of the snake with the mouth on it. I know you guys were getting shots and stuff, but looking at that location, anti-venom could be hours away.
Anyway, have fun, stay safe.
Glad you enjoyed it! We often work in difficult conditions and it places far away from nearest hospitals. This was quite a normal situation for us :)
These videos are perfect for autistic children or children (and adults) with adhd super powers or trauma related 'disorders' ...Mr 7 loves snakes and your calm videos make it possible for him to learn and enjoy. No unnecessary hype or gross over sensationalised snake mania. Just pure joy to experience such beautiful animals.
Thank you
Very welcome! We are happy that you find our videos relaxing and educative! 🙂
Len Bedell (the bloke who surveyed Woomera & the Gunbarrel Highway) he ran over a Taipan in his grader...
Len was 6ft + hes standing on the blade, arm at head height & this Taipan reaches the ground with 6in on the ground!!
Its huge!
If Lenny stopped & set up a camera.. even he thought it was a big snake!
Thank you for watching our video!
Thank you so much......that was lovely.
You are so welcome, thanks for watching!
Wow guys! Stunning visuals, cool info. Astoundingly impressive and slick stuff ☺ As an Australian who likes the outdoors I see our "vanilla" 😂 regulars like the Tiger and Eastern Brown somewhat often, but I've never seen this elusive and mystical creature so beautifully filmed. Awesome stuff. 😊
Awesome, thank you very much! Great that you love this video, check out some more from Australia: ua-cam.com/video/QAaW3U18rzQ/v-deo.html
This chanel's videos are the best snake documenatry films around the world!! I enjoyed watching these videos. I hope to find inland taipan if i go to Australia :)
Wow, thank you! Awesome that you love our channel! ❤️
Brilliant video, as always. Many thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!!! It was very important for us to find and film this species!
This snake adopted a warning posture giving them time to retreat - if it had been a King Brown snake everyone in that team would have no choice but to turn and run. I've never seen anything - reptile or mammal - move as quickly as the King Brown that went after my mother. She grew up with snakes and managed to take its head off with a shovel but it was a close thing. Never assume that a snake is more afraid of you than you are of it ;)
We worked with King browns too and it was ok 🙂 There was some defensive behavior with moving towards us but nothing really scary. Eastern browns were a bit unpredictable and moving towards us and they are fast!
@@LivingZoology I suspect that this one didn't enjoy 3 mammals stomping through the long grass it just happened to be moving through. Mum had a couple of acres, chooks and a dam - an enticing combination for any snake.
@@arthurwatts1680 Such place is a paradise for snakes! Every snake behaves a bit differently, some are calm, some more defensive 🙂

What a wonderful and accurate depiction..and the best part, the sound
Thank you very much! Great that you love both the footage and the sound!
a very beautiful animal
We agree! Thanks for watching!
The snake's neurotoxin is really a paralytic agent (formally known as a neuromuscular blocker) that causes the victim unable to contract his chest muscles to breathe. Breathing/mouth-to-mouth/ventilator support is required to avoid suffocation and death. All will survive a bite if they are ventilated until the venom wears off. (This is identical to paralytic agents used in intensive care units and operating rooms.)
Yes, neurotoxins block neuron synapses.
@@LivingZoology, For a venomous snake living in a harsh environment where the amount of available prey is extremely minimal, it makes evolutionary sense to have an extremely potent venom that will kill your prey quickly so that the snake doesn't have to expend a lot of energy tracking down envenomated prey as it runs away or tries to scurry farther down a narrow tunnel. The quicker the prey dies and the more the venom predigests it, the less energy the snake has to expend in the process of catching, eating and digesting its meal. Note that the stake is reserving is venom and not attempting to bite, which makes perfect sense because without that venom the snake cannot hunt. Most venomous snakes won't waste their venom on something too large to eat!
It amazes me that rodents can even survive in such a harsh environment, as I don't see any green growing things for them to eat. Was this filmed in summer or winter? 20°C is about 68 Fahrenheit and would be a lovely temperature here in New England but does seem quite cool for Australia. I wouldn't expect a snake to be out in the full sun during an Australian summer!
That's not necessarily the case with Taipan envenomation.
That works with the venom of Black Mambas and Coral Snakes.
I believe Kraits have an unusual venom where if the patient can be kept on a ventilator, antivenin is not strictly needed.
But Taipan venom attacks blood and muscle in addition to its neurotoxicity.
Even with successful treatment with antivenin, there is a much longer road to recovery than bites from other venomous Australian snakes.
@@goodun2974 Rodents are certainly not easy to find in this environment and taipans cannot afford to loose any prey item, that’s why their venom is so potent. The system of deep cracks in the soil provides shelter and maybe some seeds and other food for small mammals. We filmed our footage in October, we had a very cold night (6 degrees Celsius) and the next morning snakes came out to bask. In 3 hours we had 4 taipans!
@@pauln6803 Yes, muscle damage and coagulopathy is often reported after bites from the Inland taipan.
Been looking forward to this one guys! Can’t wait to head out there myself one day :)
So what do you think about it? :) It was a very special place, super remote!
@@LivingZoology stunning footage as usual ;)

Congratulations for your amazingly realistic video!
Thank you very much! 🙏
Those are some excellent HD shots of the taipan. Cameraman did a good job.
Thank you very much! Great that you think that we did a good job! 🙂
gorgeous snake, lovely sunset timelapse at 6:23 and overall a wonderful video as usual...a huge thank you!

Thanks some amazing high quality video. I worked as a field technician throughout the Cooper flood plains and Channel country for 10 years. One day driving to our job we came across the inland Taipan near an oil well called of all things Psyche, it was hunting the cracks just as in your video. We were both camera fanatics as snakes abound in this part of the country, and my mate scored some great video, not as good as yours but of great interest. I have many many photos of snakes and the colour variation is huge, no chance of an ID just on colour. This particular day we got such good footage and the snake was identified by a herpetologist as an inland taipan. Most of the snakes from discussion appear to be king brown or Mulga snakes, only one positive ID of the Taipan but certainly a several possibles. Great camera work thanks again, I will apply some of your close ups to try and scale count snakes I have photographed. Did you see any large flocks of Budgerigars? they are a sight to behold especially when in the thousand plus flock!! Also some of your comments mention the absence of music and unnecessary dialogue keep that up, as it ruins many good videos
Thank you very much, great that you love our video! Most of our videos only have a natural sound. We are sure that you had some cool encounters with snakes during those years spent there! Finding Inland taipans is not easy, we were lucky! We haven't seen any Budgerigars unfortunately!
I visited Randers Tropical Zoo in Denmark in 2014. 2 of these Inland Taipans lived there, requiring one attendant to feed them and another attendant at arms length just in case. I am from Australia so seeing them in a computer controlled environment was special.
Thanks for watching!
I really loved different perspective of presenting the Wildlife infront of viewers, no background music, no commentry, no transitions or vfx/sfx, just the Animal(Reptile) in its Inhabitant and Nature real sounds, this is so simple yet Very Engaging, i loved the true nature of the video❤
Great that you love our documentary style! We try to show that snakes are amazing and peaceful animals. Please check many more videos on our channel!
This is one of the most beautiful snakes God ever created. The albino python is also beautiful but in these shots the innland Taipan is gorgeos
Yes, this is an amazing snake species! Thanks for watching!
Wanna rent one for a year - and have it live in your home?
One more time FANTASTIC footage of one of the most elusive elapidae on our planet. The microlepidotus is certainly according to the LD 50 the most venomous snake on the planet but here you show them for what they are really, simply animals. they are so gorgeous. their colours are so beautiful this dark head , this fantastic yellow, the scales the markings, They are gorgeous. Congratulations. I love their gnawings "I show you my tiny little fangs but for me the size of them don't matters!".
Thank you very much! We wanted to simply show this species in its habitat, no drama, just natural beauty 🙂 We were so happy that we got lucky to film the yawn several times!
Overly long fangs might get in the way of opening their mouths sufficiently to invenomate prey within the confines of a small rodent burrow.
Great finds and the fantastic camera work!
Thank you very much!!! It was interesting to film such a big snake in such a barren landscape!
I learned so much from this video. Thank you so much for this awesome video! ✨
You're so welcome! It is great that you learned new things! :)
The unassuming, desolate plains of Western Queensland and South Australia are the headquarters of the venomous snake world.
The best part of this video is when the viewer can hear nothing but the wind in the background. It truly gives one the feeling of being there with the snakes.
Will you be posting any video on the recently-discovered Central Ranges Taipan? Congrats on another quality presentation.
We try to make viewers feel like there are with us on the places where we film snakes :) This was a really barren place and actually we were surprised that in the evening there were so many cricket sounds! During the day though there was only wind, nothing else. Finding the Central Ranges taipan is extremely difficult and we were not lucky to find it.
I never bumped into any snakes in the red clay of South Australia, with the Australian army. But I certainly bumped into a few Taipans in inland Northern Territory.
@@pedohunter5117 The activity changes a lot during different seasons. In winter it is hard to find snakes.
@@LivingZoology For sure I was there in the middle of summer. Not a good time at all.
Beautiful photography as always. A slight correction you might consider - this snake was already known and named long before the 1870's and was never really lost.
From the internet...
The Inland Taipan (Oxyuranus microlepidotus) is a species from the Oxyranus that in native to Australia. The word "taipan" comes from the name of the Thaypan tribe of Aboriginal Australians or from the Wik-Mungkan word tay-pan.
Thank you very much!!! We know that Aboriginal Australian knew this snake long before white scientists. They call it dandarabilla. We are only informing about official discovery for science of course :)
Native people of the area have lost members of the tribe to this particular species. I read one account which is pretty interesting.
@@YZF_R1Yamaha Can you send us any report if you can find it? It would be interesting to read. It is common that when it comes to snakebites, some inflicted on locals, like Aborigines, will not be recorded properly and stay out of the official statistics.
@@LivingZoology
I will do it’s been about six years or so since I read it but I’ll try and find it again. I believe it was a native lady that was collecting them and was bitten -passed away
@@LivingZoology From reports there has been no deaths from this snake. But wonder how many deaths with the Aboriginals from this snake, before White man came. Those terrains would have been full of aboriginal tribes for thousands of years.
Stunning photography as always. A most beautiful snake with lovely colouring. Just a fantastic video.
Thank you so much!!! It was our goal to show the most venomous snake on the planet in a different perspective!
Garter snake level member here, as Mama once said, "You boys stop teasing that snake!" It was good advice.
It is always good to keep your distance and we try not to tease snake very much ;)
That's extreme outback...
The Inland Taipan is actually a very well behaved snake in comparison to the infamous Black Mamba... I guarantee you with my life, you wouldn't dare come so close to a BM with a camera as you did with the Taipan... Awesome video... Very informative...👌
Thank you for watching! We of course worked with Black mambas too 😉 m.ua-cam.com/video/5nsfqrlr3pk/v-deo.html
@Roger Williams Inland taipans share their habitat with some brown snakes, maybe an adult brown snake can eat a juvenile Inland taipan.
another amazing video! Your passion for reptiles and their exotic habitats is deeply appreciated. For reals! I especially LOVED the yellow cobra video with the AMAZING shot of a thunderstorm. So beautiful with so many different shots. Kudos to your editing team and everyone else involved.

Thank you very much!
If this was an American channel they'd be shouting at us all through the video, hyping everything. Love your low key approach. Thank you.
Thank you, we appreciate that you love our approach 🙂
So every American channel there is shouting and hyping things up? Interesting
To be fair, we got that from Steve Irwin
Sadly you are probably right.
The hyping and shouting might be warranted with a Black Mamaba, but with a snake that gave Steve Irwin a kiss without going to the ER, the pure beauty is enough IMHO....
Great video, beautifully done. That said I've watched so many "Deadliest, most venomous and Poisonous" Snakes on Earth, each with a different snake as #1. The Brown snake, the Sea snake, the Black Mamba, the Death Adder, The Banded Krait, and so on. Ya'll make up your minds! Cheers!
Thank you very much! People want views so they spread misinformation. There is only one most venomous snake according to LD50. We waited for years to finally make a video with the title The most venomous snake on Earth 🙂
Great appreciation for the camera man and team of taking such a risk and shooting ❤❤ keep rocking guys
Thanks a lot! Working with Inland taipans was quite enjoyable!
Beautiful snake, filming and drone work. How pleasant to watch a video without UA-cam music and some clown trying to pick it up and show how tough he is. Best snake video I've seen but did prefer the beginning.

The face to face encounter at the end was pretty cool, as if, the snake was equally in awe to see some humans, probably for the first time , but sadly and understandably you were busy with your cameras instead of just sharing a moment with the majestic snake, I hope you got to do that , just been in the presence of each other.

Great video. I did not know that snakes yawned. I almost expected to see it drinking a cup of coffee and reading the morning paper, lol.
Glad you enjoyed it! Yes, snakes yawn! They usually rearrange their jaws after feeding and sometimes they just do it out of nowhere!
What an absolutely gorgeous snake and beautiful shots. The place is really terrifying. However, the "danger noodle" seems almost friendly.
(Skvělá práce, máte boží videa, dávám join, snad to trochu pomůže.)
Thank you very much!!! The area was really barren, nothing around for huge distances!

The coastal taipan is a very twitchy & nervous snake that often strikes multiple times. It also is a very long snake for a venomous type & can raise its body quite high off the ground, which means that if it bites you on the body, it's going to be very difficult to apply a constrictive bandage as you would for a bite on a leg or arm. A very quick trip to the nearest hospital would then be in order. As these snakes occur in coastal Queensland, there are quite a few large towns with hospitals that would have the anti-venene for taipans.

Exceptional work. Kudos.
Thank you very much!! 🙏🙂
I enjoyed the quiet nature sounds part
Most of our videos consist of long parts with natural sounds, enjoy watching! 🙂
Very cinematic, nice job!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Perfect video. Some things don't need a narrative to deliver the message.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
I love this channel 💜
That is great! Please consider joining our channel as a member, it will help us to continue doing this work! The basic UA-cam revenue is not high enough to cover the expenses of our filming trips.
There definitely needs much more videos on this amazing snake because it is still increasing interesting and a good looking snake 🐍
Thanks for watching! Next week we will post a comparison of this snake with the Eastern brown snake!
Ultimate footage and calm presentation
Thank you very much!
A snake handler told me that one reason that no one has been recorded as bitten is that the first people to find one died on the track and no one reported the deaths.
Interesting idea and thanks for watching!
Superb video, no music thank goodness. Very beautiful snake. Thanks for making this
Thank you very much! It is great that you appreciate the non-dramatic nature of our videos 🙂
@@LivingZoology Does filming stress the snakes? It must be very tough surviving out there. I guess you film as gently as possible. I'm in the UK so on the other side of the planet but know it's possible to communicate with all animals
Was waiting for the Australian snake lol. Another reason why those taipans can be sooo sooooooooo deadly, is that they dont bit you once. They'll strike a heap of times.
There are also a LOT of anecdotal stories/urban legends about people using these snakes (and various other extremely deadly Australian snakes) to commit murders. (The most common version I remember hearing is the story of an old aboriginal stockman who was being bullied by some asshole boss....so he collects a sack of taipans, agitates the hell out of them and then dumps them through the window of ol' mates caravan one night, while he was blackout drunk. The story goes that he never woke up thanks to the dozen snakes in his bed.)
Thanks for watching! Especially Coastal taipans are very nervous, Inland taipans are much more calm.
I saw one when I went out to erromanga which is far western Queensland and close to the Sth Australian border. I was working on a station and in an opal mine for a few months and I drove past one on the side of a track leading into the station,I thought it was just a brown snake but the station manager I was with told me no that’s the deadliest snake in the world-inland taipan. He then said we don’t see them very often but if we do we give them a wide berth. The dark head is what sets them apart from brown snakes and the skin colour is a golden brown and of course their venom.
Thanks for watching! Cool that you saw one!
Great footage. No idea how you did it, but amazing.
Thank you very much! 🙏
Thanks for the video
Hopefully you liked it! Thank you for watching!
