: Another prime example of an in-appropriate common name! I could never figure out how Pseudechis australis, (Mulga or the King Brown), was assigned to the genus Pseudechis, Australian "Black" Snakes".

Just one of many unfortunate examples of bad common names misleading people. That's why using scientific names is so much better... ;-)

Cheers,

Wolfgang
