Pseudechis Porphyriacus Eating Eggs
''Pseudechis'' is a genus of venomous snakes in the Family (biology), family Elapidae. It contains the group of elapid species commonly referred to as the black snakes. Species of ''Pseudechis'' are found in every Australian state with the exception of Tasmania, and some species are found in Papua New Guinea. They inhabit a variety of habitat types, from arid areas to swampland. All species are dangerous (''Pseudechis'' signifying "like a Viperidae, viper", Greek ''echis'') and can inflict a potentially lethal bite. Most snakes in this genus reach about 2 m (6.6 ft) in total length (including tail), and vary in colour. Some species are brown, whereas others are black. The most recognisable and widespread species in the genus are the red-bellied black snake (''P. porphyriacus'') and the mulga snake (king brown) (''P. australis''). These snakes feed on lizards, frogs, birds, small mammals, and even other snakes. All species of ''Pseudechis'' lay eggs with the exception of t ...

Pseudechis Porphyriacus
The red-bellied black snake (''Pseudechis porphyriacus'') is a species of venomous snake in the Family (biology), family Elapidae, indigenous to Australia. Originally described by George Shaw (biologist), George Shaw in 1794 as a species new to science, it is one of eastern Australia's most commonly encountered snakes. Averaging around in length, it has glossy black upperparts, bright red or orange flanks, and a pink or dull red belly. It is not aggressive and generally retreats from human encounters, but will defend itself if provoked. Although its Snake venom, venom can cause significant illness, no deaths have been recorded from its bite, which is less venomous than other Australian elapid snakes. The venom contains neurotoxins, myotoxins, and Coagulation#Procoagulants, coagulants and has haemolytic properties. Victims can also lose their sense of smell. Common in woodlands, forests, swamplands, along river banks and waterways, the red-bellied black snake often ventures i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mulga Snake
The king brown snake (''Pseudechis australis'') is a species of highly venomous snake of the family Elapidae, native to northern, western, and Central Australia.

Its alternative common name is the mulga snake, although it lives in many habitats apart from Mulga (habitat), mulga. First described by English zoologist John Edward Gray in 1842, it is a robust snake up to long. It is variable in appearance, with individuals from northern Australia having tan upper parts, while those from southern Australia are dark brown to blackish. Sometimes ...

Pseudechis Colletti
Collett's snake (''Pseudechis colletti''), also commonly known as Collett's black snake, Collett's cobra, or Down's tiger snake, is a species of venomous snake in the family Elapidae. The species is native to Australia. Collett's snake is capable of delivering a fatal bite and is considered the nineteenth most venomous snake in the world. Taxonomy and etymology Collett's snake is one of several species in the genus '' Pseudechis'' commonly known as black snakes. A study of mitochondrial DNA showed it to be most closely related to the blue-bellied black snake ('' P. guttatus''), with the Papuan black snake ('' P. papuanus'') as the next closest relative to the pair. Belgian-born British zoologist George Albert Boulenger described the species ''P. colletti'' in 1902, (''Pseudechis colletti'', new species). naming it in honour of Norwegian zoologist Robert Collett. A young snake had been collected by Collett, and Boulenger had noted its scale pattern to be distinct from the Papuan bl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

He was a household name as he took viewers to remote parts of Australia observing and admiring the natural environment. His advocacy led to the establishment of offshore islands as reserves for plants and animals, protected from invasive species. Now his legacy is being remembered with Murdoch University's Harry Butler Institute. The new research and education facility brings science, business and the community together to address environmental problems.

He was the elder brother of zoologist George Robert Gray and son of the pharmacologist and botanist Samuel Frederick Gray (1766–1828). The same is used for a zoological name. Gray was keeper of zoology at the British Museum in London from 1840 until Christmas 1874, before the natural history holdings were split off to the Natural History Museum. He published several catalogues of the museum collections that included comprehensive discussions of animal groups and descriptions of new species. He improved the zoological collections to make them amongst the best in the world. Biography Gray was born in Walsall, but his family soon moved to London, where Gray studied medicine. He assisted his father in writing ''The Natural Arrangement of British Plants'' (1821). After being blackballed by the Linnean Society of London, Gray shifted his interest from botany to zoology.

Pseudechis Butleri
The spotted mulga snake (''Pseudechis butleri''), also known commonly as Butler's black snake and Butler's snake, is a species of venomous snake in the family Elapidae. The species is endemic to Western Australia. It is a member of the genus '' Pseudechis'', dangerously venomous snakes that can intimidate an opponent by raising the head and presenting a hood. This cobra-like threat display is supported by the ability to produce a very large amount of venom. Taxonomy The first description of the species ''P. butleri'' emerged in a study of morphological variation of the widespread species '' P. australis'', known commonly as the king brown or mulga snake. The author, Laurie Smith, examined a large series of specimens, allocating 213 to ''P. australis'' and 21 to the new species. The holotype of ''P. butleri'' is a female specimen, carrying eggs, collected at the Yalgoo region in 1963 by I. C. Carnaby.
