Red-Bellied Black Snake


Australian wildlife is rich and varied. Some species like the koala, kangaroo, wallaby and wombat, are unique to Australia. But Australia is also the country where one finds the largest number of venomous animals and among the most venomous species in the world. There are more poisonous snakes than non poisonous. The Red-bellied Black Snake (photo), common on the east coast, is considered the least dangerous of the venomous snakes in Australia. Still, this photo was taken from a four-wheel-drive vehicle, with the doors closed!

  2. @Andrew and Debra nice try, but you will never ever catch me touching a snake. Whether it is cold, hot or in the middle. Never! ;)
