The eastern brown snake, better known simply as the brown snake, is an elapid native to Australia. It is the second most venomous land snake in the world according to recent analyses. Its figures: an LD50 of 0.15 mg/kg and a length of up to 2.4 m. That, combined with a range taking in the well-populated east coast of Australia, has resulted in fatalities. There is a subspecies in parts of New Guinea and adjacent islands.
