A captive snake in Australia has broken the world record for the most venom produced in one go, according to the creature's keepers.
With a single bite, the snake — a coastal taipan (Oxyuranus scutellatus) named Cyclone — ejected more than 0.18 ounces (5.2 grams) of venom. That's three times the average amount produced by a coastal taipan and enough to kill 400 humans, according to the Australian Reptile Park, a zoo located 30 miles (50 kilometers) north of Sydney in New South Wales.
