and let's see if you got your answer right, okay?
All right, make yourself comfortable and enjoy it, bro.
I'm Curious Ben, and… How curious are you?
PHILIPPINE COBRA
The 'Philippine cobra' is one of the three most venomous cobras in the world,
as its name indicates, you can only find it only in the Philippines
where they feed on frogs, lizards, birds and small mammals.
As you can see they have a robust body
and long ribs that flatten and expand
to look bigger when they feel threatened.
In their most adult stage they can measure about 2 meters long,
they are easily recognizable by their brown colors,
but beyond its terrifying appearance
what should really terrify you is its poison
composed of powerful neurotoxins
that affect the nervous system and cause respiratory paralysis.
A small bite from this deadly snake causes a headache,
dizziness, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and shortness of breath
and in just half an hour it is able to kill anyone.
As if that wasn't enough, they can spit their poison up to 3 meters away,
they are usually aimed at people's eyes to cause temporary blindness.
It is a very aggressive snake,
but before attacking you, it usually gives you signs that it does not like your presence.
Considering its danger,
the 'Philippine cobra' is one of those snakes that you should never bother.
TIGER SNAKE
The 'tiger snake' is a highly poisonous snake genus
that inhabit the coasts of Australia.
Their name comes from their appearance, they have stripes all over their body
reminiscent of the stripes of a tiger
and, like tigers, they are dangerous if you bother them.
They are also very long snakes that exceed 2 meters in length.
The 'tiger snake' is loaded with a poison,
which is a mixture of neurotoxins, coagulants, hemolysins and myotoxins...
And it will make you scream if it bites you.
A bite from this snake can cause severe pain,
ringing, numbness and sweating.
And if the antidote is not administered quickly
respiratory difficulties and paralysis begin.
In the unfortunate event that you cannot get urgent medical attention,
you have a 50% chance of dying.
The good thing is that, like most snakes,
they tend to move away when they see people.
If you get the lousy idea of ​​approaching it,
it will flatten its body and raise its head to assume an attack stance.
And, well, we already know what that means.
RATTLESNAKE
The 'rattlesnakes', also known as 'Crotalus',
are a genus made up of 29 different types of venomous vipers
that you can find throughout the American continent,
from Canada to Argentina.
So if you live in America you have no place to hide.
They are all easily recognizable
by the characteristic sound produced by their rattles on the tips of their tails,
surely you have already heard it.
In their adulthood these snakes measure up to two and a half meters long,
and weigh about 10 pounds.
Its scales have different shades,
from yellowish, greenish, reddish or even brown,
but its appearance is not the scariest thing about this snake
but the powerful poison they have in their fangs
loaded with powerful toxins
that destroy red blood cells and blood vessels in a matter of minutes.
If it bites you, you will feel extreme pain.
They are not considered the most poisonous and feared snakes in North America for nothing.
Lucky for you there is a fast-acting antidote
that is capable of neutralizing the poison as soon as it is injected into you.
Although if you don't have a nearby hospital,
better use the few minutes of life you have left to pray to God.
These snakes are very temperamental,
even if they look calm they can jump to attack you in the blink of an eye,
they usually attack when they feel threatened.
So if you run into one, don't bother it and get away quickly.
'Rattlesnake', stay away from it or you'll regret it.
- That's bullsh*t!
Benny, drop that 'rattlesnake', for God's sake.
BLACK MAMBA
The 'black mamba' is a snake that lives in forested areas,
rocky slopes and forests of sub-Saharan Africa,
it is considered the second largest venomous snake after the king cobra.
and also one of the deadliest.
The most striking and recognizable thing about this species is the dark color of its skin
and its horrifying black mouth.
An adult specimen can easily measure about 3 meters long,
but some black mambas have been seen up to 15 feet long.
In addition to its large size
they are also the fastest land snakes that exist,
they can move at 20 kilometers per hour.
If you happen to see one, you better run with all your might.
As if that wasn't scary enough,
they have a powerful neurotoxic venom
that can kill you in a matter of minutes,
entering the bloodstream first causes tiredness and blurred vision,
gradually the symptoms worsen to the point of nausea and vomiting,
and in less than an hour any adult human being will collapse to the ground.
Ultimately, it will cause respiratory failure
leading to cardiovascular collapse causing death.
If you don't want to become one of it victims, better leave it alone.
TAIPANES
The 'taipan snakes' are a genus of very fast and venomous snakes
that live in Australia.
They are large snakes that can measure between 2 and 3.5 meters long.
They have different shades, from yellow, brown, black or even gray.
If you are unlucky enough to see one face to face
I recommend you get away as soon as you can
because its venom is extremely lethal to humans.
If one of them bites you
its toxins will quickly coagulate your blood, blocking your veins and arteries,
and sending you to the grave in a matter of a few hours.
Its poison is so lethal that before an antidote was created
a bite from a taipan was a certain death sentence.
Even with the antidote those who survive the attack of these snakes
must spend long periods of recovery in the hospital.
Despite the bad reputation they have for their lethality
these species are normally quite calm and shy,
and they will only attack you if they feel you are a threat or corner them.
Taipans, do not approach them even as a joke.
DEATH VIPER
The 'acanthophis snake', by its common name 'death adder',
it is an extremely poisonous snake species
that lives in Australia, New Guinea and other nearby islands.
Even though its name is 'death adder'
it's not really an adder, they just look like one.
As you are already seeing, its appearance is not pretty like most snakes,
it doesn't provoke you to go up to it and give it a hug, does it?
His attack is the fastest of all the snakes in the world,
they are capable of biting you, injecting their venom
and return to its attack position in just 0.13 seconds,
In the blink of an eye this snake will have already nailed its fangs to you.
Worst of all, they are considered one of the most poisonous species on the entire planet,
in a single bite the death adder can inject
between 40 and 100 milligrams of its powerful neurotoxin,
which will initially make you feel mildly paralyzed,
but if things get ugly,
in less than 6 hours the paralysis could increase to cause respiratory arrest.
So its bite is practically a death sentence.
Now you understand why it is known as the death adder.
Fortunately, there is an antidote.
so deaths from their bite are rare.
The death adder, if you want to live, stop bothering it.
COMMON KRAIT
The 'common krait' or 'blue krait snake' is a species of snake
which is only found in countries like India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan.
They are known for their bad reputation and they have it very well deserved
since they are the snakes that cause the most bites to humans
in India and Bangladesh.
They are quite small compared to many other venomous snakes.
and on average they do not usually measure more than a meter in length,
but don't underestimate it.
Its venom contains powerful neurotoxins
causing muscle paralysis and death in less than 8 hours.
A single bite from this snake delivers about 10 milligrams of venom into the bloodstream
and they only need 2 milligrams to end your life,
that means a single bite has enough poison
to end the lives of 5 people.
The scariest thing about its bite is that it is barely noticeable,
most sufferers say it feels like an ant bite.
It is a silent killer.
During the day they are usually quite calm,
but during the night they are the opposite.
Whatever the moment, I recommend that you do not bother them.
EASTERN BROWN SNAKE
The 'eastern brown snake', or by its scientific name pseudonaja textilis,
is a snake found in Australia,
its appearance is quite simple, as you are already seeing,
they only have a brown color throughout their body,
although some of them have points and lines along their body.
Most specimens of this species
reach an average size of 1.5 meters long,
although specimens of up to 2.5 meters have been found,
but the most important thing to keep in mind about this snake
is that it is the second most poisonous snake known.
Its venom contains neurotoxins and blood coagulants,
and although it takes time to take effect in an adult person,
it can cause a quick and very painful death before you know it.
For that reason the 'eastern brown snake'
it is responsible for the highest number of sting deaths in all of Australia.
This happens mostly because they tend to hide in houses and gardens,
they have an extremely aggressive temperament,
so much so that as soon as they see you they will seek to bite you at all costs.
If you travel to Australia in the next few days, which I don't think is the best idea,
and you come face to face with a long brown snake,
run in the opposite direction as fast as you can
and ask God to save you.
'Eastern brown snake', don't mess with it or you will regret it.
INLAND TAIPAN
The inland taipan, small-scaled snake or taipan snake,
is a species of snake native to Australia
and it is the most venomous land snake in the world.
It has yellowish and dark brown colors,
and measures about 2 meters long,
but it is not its appearance or its size that is remarkable about this friend,
but the very powerful poison that it carries in its fangs.
To give you an idea of ​​how deadly it is,
a single bite can kill 253,000 mice
or up to 125 adults.
Its venom is 200 to 500 times more toxic than that of a rattlesnake
and 50 times more lethal than that of a cobra.
- I'm hungry!
Spit that snake out, Benny...
Didn't you hear what I said?
If you have the unfortunate luck of being bitten by a taipan snake,
you have only minutes to seek medical attention
before the poison starts to wreak havoc on your body.
The curious thing is that this snake is quite shy, calm and docile,
but it does not like contact with humans.
So don't bother it or it will kill you.
VIPERS
The 'viperine snakes', better known as vipers,
are a subfamily of snakes found almost everywhere in the world
except in Madagascar and Australia.
They are very famous for their powerful poison
and they are considered the most poisonous animal in all of Europe.
You can recognize them by their large, wide triangular head,
in addition to its huge retractable fangs
which it brings out when it is in attack position.
When you see those long fangs run away as fast as you can.
The bite of a viper causes intense pain and swelling
as soon as it sinks its fangs,
causing your blood pressure and heart rate to drop to alarming levels.
The bite area is clearly affected,
the skin tissue dies and turns black within a few days.
In less than two weeks, if the symptoms have not been treated quickly,
you can have a cardiac arrest that will send you to the grave.
The venom of this snake is slow acting,
so victims have plenty of time to seek medical help,
although the pain you will suffer and the reactions of your body
will be one of the worst things you can experience.
Luckily, they are very scary snakes
and tend to flee from human contact almost all the time,
they will only attack you if you corner them.
So stop cornering them, for God's sake.
