7 Most Dangerous Snakes On Planet by Nevamind: 8:17am On May 18, 2018 |
Death adder On name alone the death adder qualifies for a place on our list. However, the name actually started out as “deaf adders” as in the old days it was believed they couldn’t hear. The reason for this misconception was that unlike other snakes, which tend to slither away when a human approaches, the death adder doesn’t. This is because they are ambush hunters which lay in wait for their prey and so are less inclined to move. Regardless of where the name comes from though, these are a very dangerous snake indeed. Their venom is some of the most powerful on earth and contains neurotoxins capable of causing paralysis of the respiratory system and death. As well as being armed with such lethal venom the death adder is just about the fastest striking snake you’ll find anywhere. The antivenin is highly successful in treating a Death Adder bite. This snake has the most rapid strike in the world and can go from sitting to strike and back again in 0.13 of a second.

Viper This viper is usually found in the Far East and Middle East, and generally comes out after dark. The main danger with this creature is that the venom is so slow-acting that a victim may make the mistake of waiting too long to seek treatment. Treatment can prevent death in the majority of cases, but without it, death will result slowly and painfully over the course of two to four weeks.

I'll love it if you upload some pictures of the snakes. I watch nat geo wild mostly because of snakes behavior. A researcher shows that no matter how deadly a snake can be they can also be friendly and it work. |
