A Rare Deadly Snake You Need To Take Note Of. by crood: 10:43pm On May 14, 2023
The first time many saw something like this, they thought it was a skeleton of a snake that has died and weather but literally this is a live snake and very much alive.

This is one creepy snake, looks creepy, behaves creepy and moves creepy.
In this particular generation of ours when literally everything alive, breathing and living is either been clone or made lookalike as robot. You would think this is a robot without thinking twice. It so looked it.

However, this is the way this particular snake is. It is called the Gaboon Viper.

It's a big thick snake to begin with, and when it feels threatened, it makes these weird air sounds that inflate its body to appear even bigger than it is.

The gaboon viper is so dangerous that it will send you to the afterlife real quick if bitten. As in less than 5 minutes.

Though it has a placid nature and rarely bite humans. Most bites occur when the snake is stepped on and before it has an opportunity to get away.

You know it isn’t as long as other common snakes, so People possibly don’t see it.

Gaboon Viper is Mostly seen at the east Africa.

Highly venomous snake with the longest fangs amongst any snake found in africa with cytotoxic and cardiotoxic venom. Unlike any other snake, the gaboon doesn't release its jaws immediately after a bite, allowing it to inject potent venom into its victim. Any bite from the gaboon viper is to be considered an emergency

Gaboon Viper and puff adder venom are the most lethal of all snakes in subsaharan Africa.

Yes, it's true that it rarely bites humans. I was very close to me in a farm and it didn't try to bite me till my uncle saw it and killed it.
