Summary edit

Description

Southern Death Adder – Acanthophis antarcticus is a species of Death Adder native to Australia. It is one of the most venomous land snakes in Australia and the world.

This is the first one I have seen for years. They live among the leaf litter. The end of the tail is narrow and sits near the head of the snake when it is coiled in this position. It wriggles the end of the tail attracting the attention of a small animal. When the animal investigates, it is caught and eaten by the snake.

~30cm
