More than 60 per cent of snake associated deaths in Australia prior to now decade have been attributable to the jap brown snake, in response to The University of Melbourne.
It stated the species, present in Australia’s east and south, are extraordinarily delicate to motion and won’t hesitate to chew defensively in the event that they really feel threatened.
The jap brown snake’s eating regimen consists largely of frogs, floor dwelling birds and different small mammals.
The University of Melbourne stated the snake just isn’t normally thought of a menace to people.
“Given the opportunity, brown snakes, like most venomous snakes, will quickly head for shelter and should not be considered ‘aggressive’ – humans are much larger than venomous snakes and are thus perceived as predators, not prey, and snakes can rarely be said to ‘attack’ humans,” the college posted on-line.
