Susan and I went out to visit a friend who lives out near the Alamaha River swamps. Check out his Zombie Apocalypse Survival Hut. Great, now I have to make one.


Susan was wondering how we will keep the beer cold.

My Jeep knife (Browning) had rusted! The horror! I like to carry it because the sheath lets me conceal a big blade easily....and I like BIG blades.

On down the trail we went...back to the cooler full of Bud Light. Gosh it's hot this time of year down here.

There very old pictures that I've taken in the Australian outback of Dingo's hunting.















Ian.

A close friend of mine, dead now from a snake bite. Mainland Tiger snake.

It was said that he had half blood, half snake venom in his veins. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Milking a Tiger



Another fun snake, The Tiapan.



A Chapple Island Tiger



A Western Brown



An unfriendly Tiger

Seems like anyone handling snales like that is just ASKING to get bitten! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> I wonder how he would have done with an angry water moccasin. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Tiger snakes are probably the second most aggressive snake out here, the first being the Taipan, bother get very very cranky...!!!!!

This list suposed to be the top 25 most dangerous in the world.

Facts and Figures: World's Most Venomous Snakes
in categories: facts, figures, most venomous snakes.
Which snake species is the most venomous depends on the measure used. The average or the maximum venom yield from milking could be suggested, but these measures can be criticized as not reflecting the impact of a real bite. The measure generally acknowledged as best reflecting how dangerous a snake's venom is is that of LD50. The lower this number, the less venom is required to cause death. By that measure, the most venomous snake in the world is Australia's inland Taipan (Oxyuranus microlepidotus). The table below gives the top 25 species in order, their LD50, and their distribution.
