Five Most Dangerous Snakes In The World.

Russel Viper

The Russell’s Viper is another deadly snake to avoid. What makes it more dangerous than the other types of snakes is that it thrives in open fields and bushy areas, or the places where people live because of its strong attraction to rodents. Some of the common victims of the Russell’s Viper would be outdoor workers. This snake is commonly found in India, Thailand, and Burma. In Burma alone, it accounts for 90% of snakebite deaths. Some effects of its snakebite include extensive bleeding, necrosis, swelling, pain, and vomiting. It can kill you through cardiac, respiratory, or kidney failure. Unfortunately, there is no anti-venom for its snakebite as its venom’s properties are different, depending on the area where the snake is found. It has a deadly venom toxicity with an LD50 of 0.03.

Sea Snake

The sea snake is an aggressive hook-nosed type of snake. It is very dangerous with allegedly eight times more toxicity than the cobra’s venom. Its toxicity depends on the type of sea snake involved, ranging from an LD50 of 0.04 for the Dubois reef sea snake to as low as 0.01 for the Belcher’s sea snake.

Black Mamba – (Dendroaspis Polylepis)

The black mamba is a big, black, long, quick, and deadly type of snake. It is recorded as the world’s fastest snake and the second longest venomous snake. Its can move at the speed of 14 miles per hour and it has an average length of 8.2 feet. The effect of the black mamba’s snakebite can be felt in 30 minutes to an hour. It can mean death by heart attack or respiratory failure. Fortunately, an anti-venom has already been created to prevent deaths from the black mamba’s snakebite. Its venom has a 0.05 LD50.

King Cobra

It seems unfairly menacing that a snake that can literally "stand up" and look a full-grown person in the eye would also be among the most venomous on the planet, but that describes the famous king cobra.

King cobras can reach 18 feet (5.5 meters) in length, making them the longest of all venomous snakes. When confronted, they can raise up to one-third of their bodies straight off the ground and still move forward to attack. They will also flare out their iconic hoods and emit a bone-chilling hiss that sounds almost like a growling dog.

Their venom is not the most potent among venomous snakes, but the amount of neurotoxin they can deliver in a single bite—up to two-tenths of a fluid ounce (seven milliliters)—is enough to kill 20 people, or even an elephant. Fortunately, king cobras are shy and will avoid humans whenever possible, but they are fiercely aggressive when cornered.

King cobras live mainly in the rain forests and plains of India, southern China, and Southeast Asia, and their coloring can vary greatly from region to region. They are comfortable in the trees, on land, and in water, feeding mainly on other snakes, venomous and nonvenomous. They will also eat lizards, eggs, and small mammals.

They are the only snakes in the world that build nests for their eggs, which they guard ferociously until the hatchlings emerge.

King cobras may be best known as the species of choice for the snake charmers of South Asia. Although cobras can hear, they are actually deaf to ambient noises, sensing ground vibrations instead. The charmer's flute entices the cobra by its shape and movement, not by the music it emits.

Taipan

The taipan is also called a fierce snake due to the fierceness of its venom. Contrary to its alternate name, the taipan is actually reclusive and shy. After biting its prey, it would normally retreat first to wait for its prey to die before returning to feed on it. It is recorded as the world’s most venomous land snake. The taipan is normally found in Australia. Its venom clots the blood and blocks blood vessels. While an anti-venom has been invented, the recovery period from a taipan’s snakebite can still be painful and slow. Its venom’s toxicity can range from an LD50 of 0.03 to as low as 0.01.

Top Five Most Poisonous Animals In The World.

5. Death Stalker Scorpion

Contrarily to the popular belief most of the scorpions are relatively harmless to humans as stings produce only local effects (pain, numbness or swelling). However, the Death Starker Scorpion is highly dangerous species because its venom is a powerful cocktail of neurotoxins which causes an intense and unbearable pain, then fever, followed by coma, convulsions, paralysis and death. Fortunately, while a sting from this scorpion is extremely painful, it would be unlikely to kill a healthy, adult human. Young children, the old, or infirm (with a heart condition) are at the biggest risk.

4. Blue-Ringed Octopus

The Blue-Ringed Octopus is very small, only the size of a golf ball, but its venom is so powerful that can kill a human. Actually it carries enough poison to kill 26 adult humans within minutes, and there is no antidote. They are currently recognized as one of the world’s most venomous animals.

Its painless bite may seem harmless, but the deadly neurotoxins begin working immediately resulting in muscular weakness, numbness, followed by a cessation and breathing and ultimately death.

3. Marbled Cone Snail

This little beautiful looking Marbled Cone snail can be as deadly as any other animal on this list. One drop of its venom is so powerful that it can kill more than 20 humans. If you ever happen to be in warm salt water environment (where these snails are often found) and see it, don’t even think of picking it up. Of course, the true purpose of its venom is to catch its prey.

Symptoms of a cone snail sting can start immediately or can be delayed in onset for days. It results in intense pain, swelling, numbness and tingling. Severe cases involve muscle paralysis, vision changes and breathing failure. There is no antivenom. However, only about 30 human deaths have been recorded from cone snail envenomation.

2. King Cobra

The King Cobra (Ophiophagus hannah) is the world’s longest venomous snake – growing up to 5.6 m (18.5 ft) in length. Ophiophagus, literally means “snake-eater” as it eats other snakes. One single bite of this deadly snake can easily kill a human. This snake is even capable of killing a full-grown Asian Elephant within 3 hours if the larger animal is bitten in a vulnerable area such as the trunk.

It’s venom is not as toxic as other venomous snakes, but King Cobra is capable of injecting 5 times more venom than black mamba and can result in mortality up to 5 times faster than that of the black mamba. It is quite widespread, ranging across South and South-east Asia, living in dense highland forests.

1. Box Jellyfish

The top prize for “The World Most Venomous Animal,” would go to the Box Jellyfish. It has caused at least 5,567 recorded deaths since 1954. Their venom is among the most deadly in the world. It’s toxins attack the heart, nervous system, and skin cells. And the worst part of it is that jelly box venom is so overpoweringly painful, that human victims go in shock, drown or die of heart failure before even reaching shore. Survivors experience pain weeks after the contact with box jellies.

You have virtually no chance to survive the venomous sting, unless treated immediately. After a sting, vinegar should be applied for a minimum of 30 seconds. Vinegar has acetic acid, which disables the box jelly’s nematocysts that have not yet discharged into the bloodstream (though it will not alleviate the pain). Wearing panty hose while swimming is also a good prevention measure since it can prevent jellies from being able to harm your legs.

The large train is used in mating rituals and courtship displays. It can be arched into a magnificent fan that reaches across the bird's back and touches the ground on either side. Females are believed to choose their mates according to the size, color, and quality of these outrageous feather trains.
