A Pilbara Death Adder (Acanthophis wellsi) from the desert regions of Western Australia. Although superficially resembling vipers by their stout body and habit of ambushing prey, death adders are actually elapids and more closely related to cobras, kraits, and coral snakes. Cape Range National Park, Western Australia.
