Taipans are common in Pormpuraaw. They like to live and hunt in the mud cracks in our salt pans. But you can find them anywhere. I have seen them in my garden next to the house. They are tan coloured like white people. They can look like a branch on the ground. They are hard to see unless they move. They are one of the deadliest snakes in the world. Our people hate them and are terrified of them.
