Crazy

The Gods Must Be Crazy

When I saw this track from a snake beside the wheel tracks it made me think of the movie "The Gods Must Be Crazy". One of the funniest movies around. This strange animal with round feet that leaves tracks unlike any seen before.

Wildlife

Oxyuranus microlepidotus, Inland Taipan (Fierce Snake)

Returning after a sunset photography session I was walking along a little used 4wd track when I came across this snake. It turns out it was an Inland Taipan, the snake with the world's most toxic venom. It was a very shy creature and I gave it plenty of room and waited patiently for it to move across the road so I could pass. (CORRECTION: this is actually a black-headed python, thanks to Matt www.flickr.com/photos/mattsummerville/ for pointing this out)
