Tiger Snake

The tiger snake is striped like real tigers. There are several varieties of this snake that can be found in different places but it is predominantly present in Australia. Some of its favorite spots are coastal areas and creeks. The median lethal dose for the tiger snake varies from an LD50 of 0.4 for the Chappell Island tiger snake variety and it can go as low as 0.12 for the peninsular tiger snake. A tiger snakebite that remains untreated can rapidly cause problems in breathing, paralysis, and even death 60% of the time
