| | Assuming that young Death Adders develop in a similar manner in all cases, sperm storage is indicated in Acanthophis by the experiences of Hay and myself. | | | It is thought that Desert and Northern Death Adders are not quite as dangerous due to their smaller average sizes and venom yields. | | | Death Adders - Red-grey colour genetics and ramifications in terms of wild populations (1985 paper) |

| | Wildlife of Sydney - Fact File - Common Death Adder |
| | Death adders have relatively large fangs and toxic venom and, before the introduction of antivenom, about 60% of bites to humans were fatal. | | | When an animal approaches to investigate the movement, the death adder quickly strikes, injecting its venom and then waiting for the victim to die before eating it. | | | The Common Death Adder feeds on frogs, lizards and birds and, unlike most Australian venomous snakes that actively search for prey, this snake sits in one place and waits for prey to come to it. |

| | Acanthophis (Death Adders) - clinical pathology of venom and pharmacology of components |
| | The large venom yield (70-100 mgs dry weight) and extreme toxicity of venom (0.400 mg/kg murine LD50) makes bites by these species among the most dangerous in the world. | | | The death adders are very viper-like in appearance, being much more stout in body, the head much more wider and triangle shaped, and having much longer fangs that are more semi-mobile than the typical elapid. | | | The resulting paralysis is reversible by death adder antivenom and also by anticholinesterases. |

| | Death Adder :: Saint Louis Zoo |
| | To capture lizards, birds and small mammals, the death adder lifts the brightly colored tip of its tail, slowly waving it to mimic the movement of a caterpillar. | | | Because there are no vipers in Australia these adders have evolved to fill that ecological niche. | | | Their potent, fast-acting venom and sluggish habits make them responsible for a high proportion of Australia's serious snakebites. |
