	death adder snake venoms and snakebites
		Death adder venom does not contain potent procoagulants (toxins in venom that interfere with blood clotting, causing consumption of the clotting protein, fibrinogen; this causes defibrination, with non-clottable blood, putting victims at risk of major bleeding).
		Death adder venom does contain myotoxins that theoretically could cause myolysis (rhabdomyolysis, muscle damage), but there is no evidence this occurs in humans bitten by these snakes.
		Death adder venom causes generally minor local effects at the snakebite site, such as mild swelling and pain and does not contain necrotoxins, and local tissue necrosis does not occur.

	Common Death Adder -Australian Reptile Park Animals
		Death adders are easily distinguishable from other snakes by the very short, squat bodies, rapidly tapering tail and the broad triangular head.
		They have evolved their similarity to adders, which are actually members of the viper family, in response to their environment and their sit and wait style of life, which does not require a snake to be long and agile but short and muscular for a quick strike when necessary.
		The name death adder was probably originally 'deaf' adder referring to the inability of this and all other snakes to hear airborne sounds.

		The venom is predominantly postsynaptic neurotoxic activity and is neutralised by death adder antivenom.
