Coastal Taipan (Oxyuranus Scutellatus)
The Coastal Taipan is a member of the Elapid family that lives in Australia.
It may not be as venomous as the Inland Taipan, but it is not far behind
on our list of venomous snakes. Coastal Taipans can grow over ten feet in
length. They also have the longest fangs of any Australian snake. Due
to their long fangs, and willingness to bite, they are one of the most
dangerous snake in Australia. Before antivenom was readily available
for this species, bites from Coastal Taipans were almost always fatal.
The venom of these snakes attacks the nervous system,
blood clotting, and muscles. It is extremely effective at killing mammals.

Buffalo Creek Area is open year round from 6am to 10:30pm. The park is open to
walk-in access only October 1st - April 14th.
Not your typical Nascar Joe series. No crazy puzzles, no elaborate Geoart, and
all practically park and grabs. Well two out of three ain't bad.
When I was out placing these caches I saw some pretty strange things so be
careful out there.
