That was even quicker...(if that's correct!)
You're on a roll.
What's this?
What's this?
no clue
desert snake
It is a pit viper, anybody know which one? It's not from either of the American continents.
Here's another pic. The snakey can be several colors...
His image was used as a mascot for some very fast ones of these:

is that a mynah bird?
A blackbird.
Habu it is.
BTW the SR-71 Blackbird was fired upon at least 4000 times in it's service career and never hit.
That thing above makes me nervous just looking at him, 'cause I know what he is.
Inland Taipan, better known as the Fierce Snake, supposedly the world's most deadly.

WTH is this thing?
axylotl ?
Re the inland taipan. When I was working at Yass, the local gun club had a "king brown" snake in the target shed. Eventually they got hold of the snake (deceased), and one of them, an amateur herpetologist did a scale count (fore and aft of vent all that stuff), and reckoned it was a taipan. Never heard of down this far.
Took it to the CSIRO, and they confirmed it as a Tapian, but never seen down this far.
A few years later, the Fierce Snake was identified.

Axolotl is correct.
I gotta go find some more critters!

So a Fierce Snake and Taipan are one and the same...I am still a big fan of Irwin...RIP...
There's the taipan, found mostly in Queensland.
Then there's the Fierce Snake, known as the inland taipan.
They have a lot of similarities, but I think they are still counted differently

As to Irwin, I wasn't a fan...nothing against him, but didn't like what he did.
His daughter has a show on every Wednesday afternoon, which my daughter (4-1/2) absolutely loves.

Is that some kind of Electric Blue crayfish or something?
