Common names are meaningless, they change from place to place, How many of you have heard of sleepy lizards or funeral cockatoos?

Greebo, a jungle is a overseas term for a rainforest, so I have no idea what that keeper was on about. Every Rainforest in Australia is a Jungle They are one in the same.
As for changing a name because you dont like it, you are probably right. It was the Scientist's at the Queensland Museum who tried to have the name changed from Fierce Snake to Inland Taipan to try and varify their findings that it was in the Taipan family. lots of herpetoligists still dont agree with their findings, thinking they are more closely related to Browns or are a distinct species in themselves.

Just for the new guy, since your all being so confusing, I cant follow this thread.... IT IS A COASTAL TAIPAN.... they are having some kind of joke that I cant follow but an Inland Taipan looks significantly different to that, and the Inland Taipan is also known as a Western Taipan, Fierce Snake, and Small Scalled Snake. The pic is of a Coastal Taipan anyway regenold.

I think I must be odd. I can make sense of this whole topic, apart from your thread, lol Quote:
