Now I realize this isn’t exactly fair for me to judge a book by its cover. I took an opportunity to look up the five deadliest snakes in the world. I felt that if I found out some real information about the snakes that will actually kill someone if that person is bitten. This way I can actually someone who is afraid of snakes like me can look and see if a snake is danger to them.
The fifth most deadly snake in the word is called the
Indian Cobra. It is located in South Asia and has one of the more recognizable traits. The Indian Cobra has a hood that pops up behind with a symbol on the back which supposedly looks like eyes. The unique thing about this snake is it can either spit venom at you or it can bite you with its fangs and release venom that way. Spiting venom isn’t deadly but if it gets into your eyes you will have severe pain and damage.
The fourth most deadly snake is the
Taipan. It is located in Australia and is a pale creamy color on the head. They are one of three colors light brown, dark brown, copper, or olive. The Taipan only strikes with its fangs and venom to its prey. They usually stay away from humans unless backed into a corner then the Taipan will defend itself.
The third most deadly snake is the
Russell’s Viper. This is located in South Asia and is light brown with three rows of black or brown spots bordered by yellow or white around. This snake is responsible for the most fatalities to humans than from any other snake. It is highly irritable and coils up before it strikes with its fangs and venom. This venom does damage to the blood cells and tissue.
The second most deadly snake in the world is called the
Common Krait. This Snake is located mostly in Southeast Asia and is normally black with yellow bands around it. This snake can go either on land or water and is highly venomous. There venom affects the nerves and produces a nerve paralysis. There fangs are not very long so the Krait has to chew on it’s pray to induce the venom into the blood stream.
The most deadly snake in the world is called the
Black Mamba. This snake is located in Africa and is colored dark olive or a dark brown color with black spotting along its back. The Black Mamba has the longest fangs of any snake and when strikes it delivers quick multiple bites and flees.
