Taipan lives in dry, open forests. Some taipans live in the hot part of Australia. the common one is mostly found in The more common one found in the far north of Australia, in Queensland.

Snakes generally avoid people, they rarely strike us, unless they are threatened. They should not be out haunted and killed.

Taipans are not my favorite snakes. My favorite snake is anaconda, because the are huge. Taipans are very vicious. There are 4 different types of anaconda. Luckily they are not endangered.

  1. Hi! My name is Jessica and I'm a student at the University of South Alabama in Mobile, Alabama, in the United States. I had never heard of a Taipan before I read your post! I think snakes are very interesting. Where I'm from, we have a lot of rivers and we have to be careful of Water Moccasins. They are very poisonous snakes that swim. We call them cotton mouths because the inside of their mouth is white like cotton. Hopefully we can keep all of the interesting species of snakes from being endangered!
