Presenting the fifth release in the ”Australia’s Most Dangerous” series featuring the Tiger Snake. These coins are created to the Mint’s highest standards with guaranteed metal content and quality.
The Tiger Snake inhabits much of southern Australia and is known for its striking black and yellow bands, however some Tiger Snakes are without these bold markings. The dark bands allow the snakes to better absorb heat during the short growing season. If threatened, Tiger Snakes can become aggressive, and their bite releases toxic venom, which can be fatal to humans.
Impressively, Tiger Snakes can swim and climb. They can remain submerged underwater for up to nine minutes and have also been found up to 10 metres above ground. They frequently inhabit watery areas including dams, creeks, swamps and wetlands.
Tiger Snakes hunt during the day and feed on different animals including birds, mammals, fish, frogs, tadpoles and carrion. After mating, a female Tiger Snake produces a sac containing up to 64 young. Once the young have broken free of the sac, the baby snakes are entirely independent.
