Although highly venomous, it is very shy and reclusive, and always prefers to escape from trouble (the word "fierce" from its other name is actually describing its venom but not temperament)


Not talking about the fierce snake. The one refered to as a taipan is the one I saw that had chased a guy and bit him many times. It is an aggressive snake. I am sure in most instances the snake will try to get away but in some cases it will chase and attack. Not many snakes do that other than maybe a mamba also when defending itself.

Yep. The real taipan is considered a very aggressive snake. All snakes are passive unless provoked. A mamba and a taipan will respond with aggression to any perceived threat.
