@snakecatcherjeyn: This Coastal Taipan was found outside the Emergency Department doors at the hospital and was safely relocated to nearby bushland. The Coastal Taipan has one of the most potent venoms of any land snake in the world. Before taipan antivenom became available in 1955, bites were often fatal. It is said that only one person, George Rosendale, a Guugu Yimithirr man, was known to have survived a Coastal Taipan bite. #venom #venomoussnake #taipan #townsville #snake
