Strike a Pose - The Fierce and Fabulous Female Eastern Tiger Snake of Melbourne!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by photographer Robert Valentic, we witness the incredible beauty and power of an Eastern tiger snake in action. Nestled within the Yarra River corridor in suburban Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, this feisty female is ready to defend her territory. With her hood expanded and venomous fangs exposed, she strikes a dramatic pre-strike position that demands attention. Accompanied by loud hissing and sporadic gaping, she puts on quite the show for anyone who dares to cross her path. This portrait perfectly captures the essence of animal behavior as our slithery superstar showcases her defensive prowess. Her vibrant scales shimmer under the mid-summer sun as she stands tall against any potential threat. As one of Australia's most venomous snakes, this notechis scutatus commands respect from all who encounter her. With every flicker of her forked tongue and intense gaze from those mesmerizing eyes, it's clear that she means business. So next time you find yourself strolling along the Yarra River or exploring nature's wonders in Melbourne's suburbs, keep your eyes peeled for this fierce femme fatale - but remember to admire from a safe distance!
