A tiger snake is a venomous snake species native to Australia. It gets its name from the striped or banded pattern on its body, resembling that of a tiger. Tiger snakes are highly adaptable and can be found in various habitats, including coastal areas, wetlands, and grasslands. They are known for their potent neurotoxic venom, which can cause paralysis and, if untreated, can be fatal to humans. Despite their venomous nature, tiger snakes are generally shy and will typically avoid confrontation. They primarily feed on small vertebrates such as frogs, lizards, and rodents. Tiger snakes play an important role in maintaining the ecological balance in their habitats, but caution should be exercised when encountering them due to their venomous bite.
