The '''Bluff Downs giant python''' ('''''Liasis dubudingala''''') is an [[extinction|extinct]] [[species]] of [[snake]] from [[Queensland]], [[Australia]], that lived during the Early [[Pliocene]]. Named in 2002, ''Liasis dubudingala'' was likely the biggest snake found in Australia, with a total length of up to {{convert|9|m|abbr=on}}. This length rivals the largest extant snake species, the [[reticulated python]] from Asia and the [[green anaconda]] from South America. It may have fed on larger prey such as juvenile [[Diprotodontidae|diprotodontids]], but it is also possible that it was a skilled climber capable of catching birds and arboreal marsupials.
