The Truth About Australia’s Most Dangerous Snake

The Eastern Brown Snake is widely labeled as Australia’s most dangerous serpent. Responsible for over 60% of the country's fatal snakebites and armed with the second most toxic snake venom on Earth, its reputation is terrifying. But are these reptiles truly the aggressive monsters folklore makes them out to be? In this deep-dive documentary, we explore the incredible biology, hunting superpowers, and defensive psychology of the Eastern Brown Snake. We discover how this hyper-visual hunter became one of the most successful predators on the planet - and why it is an irreplaceable pillar of the Australian ecosystem. Learn the science behind why these elapids "chase" humans, or how human civilization accidentally created an "absolute buffet" for them.
