Taipan, die gefährlichste Schlange der Welt

360 - GEO Report joins Professor Brian Grieg Fry as he carries out his thrilling job.
About 7 of the world's 10 most venomous snakes live in Australia: one of them is the taipan, said to be the most venomous in the world. Its venom can kill a horse in just seven seconds.
Yet if someone actually dares to catch this extremely dangerous animal, its venom can be used as a medicine and can save lives. Professor Brian Grieg Fry is one of the very few, who takes up this life-threatening challenge.
For the sake of his research institute, he travels regularly through the country catching taipans, as well as brown snakes, sea snakes and skinks. (texto oficial de la distribuidora)
