Hello all the strange thing analyzing experts!
Talking about snakes, people will immediately think about their scary appearances as well
as poisonous bites that can kill people
Although not all snakes have the poisonous venom, but there are still those who have
extremely threating venom as well.
A little mg of their venom can kill 1000 adults, so scary !
This is the power of one of the animals having the scary venom, so who are they?
You gotta know to stay away from them The following is the list of
10 most dangerous poisonous snakes in the world
Number 10: Fierce Snake or Inland Taipan
While I did say that I would not include multiple
sub-species in this list, the incredible Inland Taipan deserves a spot of its own.
It has the most toxic venom of any land snake in the world.
The maximum yield recorded for one bite is 110mg, enough to kill about 100 humans, or
250,000 mice!, it is 10 times as venomous as the Mojave Rattlesnake, and 50 times more
than the common Cobra.
Fortunately, the Inland Taipan is not particularly aggressive and is rarely encountered by humans
in the wild.
No fatalities have ever been recorded, though it could potentially kill an adult human within
45 minutes.
Number 9: Death Adder
The appropriately named Death Adder is found
in Australia and New Guinea.
This venomous snake actually hunts and kill other snakes, including some on this list,
usually via ambush.
Death Adders look quite similar to vipers, in that they have triangular shaped heads
and short, squat bodies.
They typically inject around 40-100mg of venom with an LD of 0.4mg-0.5mg/kg.
An untreated Death Adder bite is one of the most dangerous in the world.
The venom is a neurotoxin.
A bite causes paralysis and can cause death within 6 hours, due to respiratory failure..
Antivenin is very successful in treating a bite from a Death Adder, particularly due
to the relatively slow progression of symptoms, but before its development, a Death Adder
bite had a fatality rate of 50%.
Number 8: Rattle snake
The Eastern Diamondback is considered the
most venomous species in North America.
the Rattlesnake is easily identifiable by the tell tale rattle on the end of its tail.
They are actually a part of the Pit Viper family, and are capable of striking at up
to 2/3rd their body length.
Surprisingly, juveniles are considered more dangerous than adults, due to their inability
to control the amount of venom injected.
Most species of rattlesnakes have hemotoxic venom,
destroying tissue, degenerating organs
and causing coagulopathy.
Some degree of permanent scarring is very likely in the event of a venomous bite, even
with prompt, effective treatment, and can lead to the loss of a limb or death.
Difficulty breathing, paralysis, drooling and massive hemorrhaging are also common symptoms.
Thus, a rattlesnake bite is always a potentially fatal injury.
Untreated rattlesnake bites, especially from larger species, are very often fatal.
Number 7: Philippine Cobra
And of course, we cannot miss the cobra from
this list
Most species of Cobra would not make this list; however the Philippine Cobra is the
exception.
Drop for drop, its venom is the most deadly of all the Cobra species,
and they are capable
of spitting it up to 3 metres.
The venom is a neurotoxin which affects cardiac and respiratory function, and can cause neurotoxicity,
respiratory paralysis and death in thirty minutes.
The bite causes only minimal tissue damage.
The neurotoxins interrupt the transmission of nerve signals by binding to the neuro-muscular
junctions near the muscles.
The symptoms might include headache, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, dizziness,
collapse and convulsions.
Number 6: Taipan
Another entry from Australia, the venom in
a Taipan is strong enough to kill up to 12,000 guinea pigs.
The venom clots the victim’s blood, blocking arteries or veins.
It is also highly neurotoxic.
Before the advent of an antivenin, there are no known survivors of a Taipan bite, and death
typically occurs within an hour.
Even with successful administration of antivenin, most victims will have an extensive stay in
intensive care.
It has been likened to the African Black Mamba in morphology, ecology and behavior.
Number 5: Blue Krait
The Malayan or Blue Krait is, by far, the
most deadly of this species.
Found throughout South East Asia and Indonesia.
Kraits hunt and kill other snakes, even cannibalizing other Kraits.
They are a nocturnal breed, and are more aggressive under the cover of darkness.
The venom is a neurotoxin, 16 times more potent than that of a Cobra.
It quickly induces muscle paralysis by preventing the ability of nerve endings to properly release
the chemical that sends the message to the next nerve.
This is followed by a period of massive over excitation , which finally tails off to paralysis.
Fortunately, bites from Kraits are rare due to their nocturnal nature.
Before the development of antivenin, the fatality rate was a whopping 85%.
Even if antivenin is administered in time, you are far from assured survival.
Death usually occurs within 6-12 hours .
Number 4: Black Mamba
The feared Black Mamba is found throughout
many parts of the African continent.
They are known to be highly aggressive, and strike with deadly precision.
They are also the fastest land snake in the world, capable of reaching speeds of up to
20km/h.
These fearsome snakes can strike up to 12 times in a row.
A single bite is capable of killing anywhere from 10-25 adults.
If the venom reaches a vein, 0.25 mg/kg is sufficient to kill a human in 50% of cases.
The initial symptom of the bite is local pain in the bite area, although not as severe as
snakes with hemotoxins.
The victim then experiences a tingling sensation in the mouth and extremities, double vision,
tunnel vision, severe confusion, fever, excessive salivation and pronounced ataxia.
If the victim does not receive medical attention, symptoms rapidly progress to severe abdominal
pain, nausea and vomiting, pallor, shock, nephrotoxicity, cardio toxicity and paralysis.
Eventually, the victim experiences convulsions, respiratory arrest, coma and then death.
Number 3: Tiger Snake
Found in Australia, the venomous Tiger snake
has a very potent neurotoxic venom.
Death from a bite can occur within 30 minutes, but usually takes 6-24 hours.
Prior to the development of antivenin, the fatality rate from Tiger snakes was 60-70%.
Symptoms can include localized pain in the foot and neck region, tingling, numbness and
sweating, followed by a fairly rapid onset of breathing difficulties and paralysis.
The Tiger snake will generally flee if encountered, but can become aggressive when cornered.
It strikes with unerring accuracy.
Number 2: Eastern Brown Snake
Fast-moving, aggressive and known for their
bad temper, eastern brown snakes, together with other browns are responsible for more
deaths every year in Australia than any other group of snakes.
Not only is their venom ranked as the second most toxic of any land snake in the world
, they thrive in populated areas, particularly on farms in rural areas with mice.
Don’t let the innocuous name of this snake fool you,
1/14,000 of an ounce of its venom
is enough to kill an adult human If disturbed, the eastern brown raises its
body off the ground, winding into an ‘S’ shape, mouth gaping open and ready to strike.
Its venom causes progressive paralysis and stops the blood from clotting, which may take
many doses of antivenom to reverse.
Victims may collapse within a few minutes.
Number 1: Belcher’s Sea Snake
Found throughout waters off South East Asia and Northern Australia.
The most venomous snake known in the world, a few milligrams is strong enough to kill
1000 people!
Less than 1/4 of bites will contain venom, and they are relatively docile.
Fisherman are usually the victims of these bites, as they encounter the species when
they pull nets from the ocean.
So terrible right guys.
If you guys see them, just flee away, or once you got bitten, it’s real struggling
