Description

An illustration of a common eastern Australian species of snake (and one I have almost stepped on several times!) consuming a delicious Southern Bell Frog, showing the jaw tendon mechanism in action.

This is a commission for Australian Geographics 'Most Dangerous' Series.

I’ve heard about them. They’re one of the most venomous snakes in Australia. Even the late Crocodile Hunter himself & his wife came across one of them.
