Ackchyually, it turns out [this snake isn't super-deadly](https://www.billabongsanctuary.com.au/inland-taipan/):
> There are actually NO recorded human fatalities from the bite of an inland taipan! By contrast, less venomous snakes such as cobras and vipers that live in the more densely populated continents of Asia and Africa kill tens of thousands of people every year.
It's got the most toxic venom or something, but that apparently doesn't equal high death rates... so we shouldn't be too surprised that this serpent got bitten by a snake and lived to jew another day.
