Taipan pedalaman itu apa sih?

Taipan pedalaman (Oxyuranus microlepidotus) atau dalam bahasa Inggris disebut inland taipan, fierce snake, atau small-scaled snake, adalah spesies Taipan berbisa tinggi yang endemik di daerah semi-gersang (semi-arid) di pedalaman Australia. Etnis Aborigin Australia yang tinggal di wilayah yang sama menamakan ular ini Dandarabilla.

In there, all the toxicity testing results were lumped in together, regardless of the mode of testing (e.g. subcutaneous vs. intramuscular vs intravenous vs intraperitoneal). As the mode can influence the relative number, venoms can only be compared within a mode. Otherwise, its apples and rocks." Venomdoc forums, Retrieved February 25, 2015
