Inland taipan
 The inland taipan (Oxyuranus microlepidotus) also commonly known as the western taipan the small-scaled snake or the fierce snake is a highly venomous snake of the taipan (Oxyuranus) genus and is endemic to semi-arid regions of central east Australia. Aboriginal Australians living in those regions named the snake Dandarabilla. It was first described by Frederick McCoy in 1879 and then by William John Macleay in 1882 but for the next 90 years it was a mystery species to Western Science.
