What is a "dugite"?

A dugite is a venomous snake species native to Western Australia. It is known for its slender body and distinctive pattern, consisting of dark brown or black coloration with lighter bands. Dugites can reach lengths of up to two meters, making them one of the larger venomous snakes in the region. They inhabit a variety of habitats, including woodlands, shrublands, and rocky areas. Dugites are highly venomous and possess potent neurotoxic venom, making them a potential threat to humans. However, they are typically shy and elusive, preferring to retreat rather than engage in confrontation. Dugites primarily feed on small mammals, reptiles, and birds, using their venom to immobilize and subdue their prey.
