Tiger snakes are among the most venomous snakes in the world, Victoria state police say.

They respond to threats by raising themselves off the ground and flattening their heads and neck.

The snake's large size, often aggressive defense and toxic venom make it extremely dangerous to humans, the Australian Museum says.

Tiger snakes typically found in water such as creeks, dams, drains, lagoons and swamps.
