#TIL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austrelaps (Australian Copperhead Snake)
"Austrelaps is a genus of venomous elapid snakes native to the relatively fertile, temperate, southern and eastern part of the Australian continent. Three species are currently recognized, with no subspecies. They are commonly called copperheads or Australian copperheads. They are not closely related to the American copperhead, Agkistrodon contortrix."-

I also learned that the American Copperhead https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agkistrodon_contortrix and Cottonmouth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agkistrodon_piscivorus are pit vipers, related to rattlesnakes.
