Tiger snake

Tiger Snake is a highly venomous snake species native to Australia, Tasmania, and Bass Strait islands. It belongs to the Elapidae family and is scientifically known as Notechis scutatus.

Description

Tiger snakes are known for their distinct banded pattern, similar to that of a tiger, hence the name. However, the color and pattern can vary significantly among individuals, ranging from banded to completely uniform. The average length of a tiger snake is about 1.2 meters, but some individuals can grow up to 2 meters.

Habitat

Tiger snakes inhabit a wide range of habitats including wetlands, grasslands, and forests. They are often found near water bodies and are excellent swimmers. In urban areas, they can be found in places with dense vegetation or near human habitation where they can find food.

Diet

The diet of tiger snakes primarily consists of amphibians, birds, and mammals. They are known to feed on frogs, fish, birds, and small mammals. They are also known to eat other snakes.

Venom

Tiger snakes are one of the most venomous snake species in the world. Their venom contains potent neurotoxins, coagulants, haemolysins, and myotoxins. A bite from a tiger snake can be fatal to humans if not treated promptly with the appropriate antivenom.

Reproduction

Tiger snakes are ovoviviparous, meaning the eggs develop and hatch inside the mother's body. The female gives birth to live young, usually in litters of 20 to 30.

Conservation

Tiger snakes are protected species in many parts of Australia. Their main threats include habitat loss due to urban development and persecution by humans due to fear.
