    Australia is home to many deadly venomous snake species. In this video we will show you our list of top 10 dangerous and deadly venomous snakes of this continent. Why dangerous AND deadly venomous? It is because dangerous snakes in general are those which have potent venom, live close to people and are common, have a tendency to defend themselves by biting. Some species from the list are deadly venomous, but not really dangerous in general due to their behavior or location where they live. The best example is the Inland taipan. It is the most venomous snake in the world, but it lives in remote deserts far away from people, so bites are almost non-existent. Yet we think it needs to be included in the top 10. In some cases, like with death adders or Australian copperheads, we chose one representative for our list.
    TOP 10 dangerous and deadly venomous snakes of Australia:
    1. Eastern brown snake (Pseudonaja textilis)
    2. Tiger snake (Notechis scutatus)
    3. Coastal taipan (Oxyuranus scutellatus)
    4. Western brown snake (Pseudonaja mengdeni)
    5. Inland taipan (Oxyuranus microlepidotus)
    6. Common death adder (Acanthophis antarcticus)
    7. Dugite (Pseudonaja affinis)
    8. Highland copperhead (Austrelaps ramsayi)
    9. Mulga snake/King brown snake (Pseudechis australis)
    10. Eastern small-eyed snake (Cryptophis nigrescens)

      I live here tell me about it.
      There was an Eastern Brown alert here in Sydney a month ago.
      Eastern Brown's have been cited 5 miles outside of the Sydney CBD.
      Our affluent, leafy North Shore is the perfect cover for these deadly snakes.
      They take cover inside and outside of backyard sheds. Young children, pets and even adults have been tagged and killed.
      In November 2023 a Queensland farmer was killed protecting his daughter.
      He was my weight and height, that is 6'1 and 260 pounds. He died within 30 minutes.
      This has been our hottest, and definitely our most humid summer in three years here in Sydney.

      @@FrostedSeagullinteresting, and sad to hear those people didn’t make it. Realistically though on average only 2-3 people die here in Australia a year from envenomation (Wikipedia & other reports states this).,I am keen to understand why these people killed were unable to get antivenom into them (upon further exploration it says reason why these people got killed was cuz they were far away from a hospital!).
      I think i read somewhere too that if u are in real snake territory with no hospital close by then u should keep antivenom on you.
      Yes snakes kill many pets cuz unfortunately they frighten the snake (I guess unless it’s a food source but that doesn’t seem common- most snake diets consist of small mammals, frogs, birds, other reptiles etc) so it will react super quick but this issue can be solved (apparently 🤷‍♀️) with proper animal snake training. ❤

      @@LivingZoologyyes I’m kinda obsessed with the venom effects, and as to why they have different toxin thingys according to each species.
      Ya know I never really thought about WHY the inland taipan has such strong quick acting venom because their food source is scarce out there! 😂 I guess it’s been explained but makes total sense in this video.
      I even wonder what would be the inland taipans natural predator (as an adult!). For sure they would be top of food chain out there, juveniles of course would naturally be food for other animals (reptiles, frogs and defo predator birds!) but being so long-strong probably not much can harm them! Such mysterious snakes, boring as anything to see in a zoo lol. But rarely seen in wild- yet have the worst reputation!
      Also I believe their is so much science around venom & what it does to blood that it can be used as life saving medicine but i think it’s a tricky area to research since snakes are naturally dangerous when handled & not to many people are willing to work with these live animals since it’s like a life threatening research project!

      @@tarantulasarecool Venoms naturally evolve to subdue certain prey so it is a long process…Different populations of the same species can have different venom composition if snakes eat a bit different prey. Sometimes juveniles have a bit different venom composition from adults as they might eat different prey. Venoms are a great source of medicine for the future. The natural predator of an adult Inland taipan is the Perentie and maybe large eagles.

    The Mulga or King Brown is not a member of the brown snake family, it's actually in the black snake family. The King Brown could eat every snake in this video and is immune to their venom. The King Brown is the King of all snakes in Australia, just like the King Cobra is the king of all snakes in Asia, and they both are snake eaters! The King Brown has a venom yield very similar to the King Cobra, Gaboon Viper, and the Bushmaster of South America, and that's what makes them so dangerous to humans. The King Brown is a most impressive species and one of my favorites. Very nice video and very informative!

      I once read that horrible people who steal these beautiful reptiles make them illegally fight.
      An Eastern Brown fought a Black Mamba and won. The Eastern Brown struck first allegedly.
      Our Australian terrain is most likely too tough for the Black Mamba.
      The Mamba's average length is 14 feet ( 3.2 metres) and grow up to 18 feet in length.
      Our Aussie venomous snakes mostly grow up to 8 feet due to heat and very very hot. Size is not a bonus in our hot Australian climate.
      A 14 foot Mamba wouldn't be able to hide and/or effectively hunt in our Australian terrain. The deserts where the Inland Taipan dwells is too hot and prey to scarce for a Black Mamba.
      If the Black Mamba had to compete with the Eastern Brown on our Eastern seaboard once aging, its size would go against it.
      Predators
      The Harpy Eagle and mongoose are the predators that hunt and kill Mamba's Africa.
      We have numerous Eagles that hunt and kill our deadly venomous snakes.
      The Black Mamba wouldn't have a chance, again due to its size, against our numerous Eagles.

    Favorite herp channel on UA-cam and by far the best camera and sound work! The Inland Taipan or "Fierce Snake" (nothing fierce about it BTW,) is dangerous only when handled. Otherwise they'll ignore you. When handled though they are completely unpredictable. Unlike most snakes as they never "give you the signal of an impending leap or bite."

    Far and away the best snake, one might say reptile, videography on UA-cam. As much as the camera excellence, the natural history information included distinguishes these videos. A minor point, but to the extent one has to read one is distracted from the visual presentation, which is primary. So, possibly verbal narration, a-la-David Attenborough, in the future? Much more natural history information could be presented, and in a way greatly complementing the visual.

    could deliver a more potentially fatal bite, but they almost never even bite people. The red bellied however
    is right up there with the Eastern brown and Tiger in the number of people they bite.

    Australia is beautiful i was so lucky to be able to visit it back in 2002. I hear people all the time say they would never go because of all the dangerous animals but when i visit i never saw one i went during the cooler months. I hate snakes want nothing to do with them but its a healthy fear because i do my best to never hurt one because ni matter how i feel they play such a vital role in our ecosystem. They help keep the pest population in check that would other wise destroy our crops and pass on diseases. Even non venomous snakes help keep in check the venomous ones. They also play the part of prey for other animals so in Australia each creature plays its part one way or the other. People and snakes can coexist together it has been proven like an island off of Africa where Forest cobras and fishermen live we just have to do our part and be educated to learn how to make these interactions as less a possible.

    Excellent videos! In the reviews and comparisons that I have seen so far I have not run across a single clear cut error which is exceptional! The only Australian species that I have had experience with are a number of Death Adders though I came very close to getting some NG taipans that were beautiful! I decided against them due to the unavailability of antivenin.

      @@LivingZoology No I do not. I am in the U.S. (in Florida) and the individual that had the N.G. Taipans is no longer with us. He was one of the most dedicated herpetologists to all who knew him. He was the source for the baby King Cobra that I raised and loved his animals more than life itself! When raised from babies I have had experience with Eastern Green Mambas, Eastern Diamondback's, Eyelash Vipers and King Cobras...and all have turned out to be very reliable and completely tame pets! The baby (and later juvenile) Eastern Green Mamba and the King Cobra (for the 3.5 years that I had her) were exceptional and the Diamondback was 100% reliable until we released him back into the wild!

    My first week in Tasmania, Australia, I came face to face with a large jet black tiger snake in the bush behind Hobart sunning itself on a large slab rock. I just watched it for a while but he knew I was there. As soon as I began to walk away, he was gone in a flash into the scrub.
    The big yellow centipede in my bedroom the following night wasn't so welcome.
    I was 17 then and have seen dozens of Aussie snakes since but that was the best. Had a dugite in my house in Perth once. Called CALM and they relocated it. Beautiful animals and a privilege to encounter. Thank you for your amazing channel.

    I like the Inland Taipans that are wearing the black executioner hoods the best, followed by super cute-faced Death Adder, Tiger Snakes & Highland Copperheads, Dugites....ya know what, I like'm all...
    Being in North America makes identifying hot snakes so much easier, and many of them are super chill; most our Copperheads are truly gentle beings, and some of our rattlers are the same way - like death adders I guess. I've never been able to find a coral snake, and I wouldn't personally mess with a Cottonmouth.
    Still, I like meeting non-venomous snakes way more; seeing if they mind being picked up, maybe would enjoy a little mammal warmth....lol.
