You won't believe how poisonous #1 is! • 10. Rattlesnake • At number ten, we have the rattlesnake. Capable of striking at up to 2/3 their own body length, the rattlesnake is the most poisonous snake in the Americas. It's infamous for its loud, rattling noise it creates when threatened, which it uses to deter predators or warn passersby. • 9. Acanthophis antarcticus • At number nine, we have the Acanthophis antarcticus. Native to Australia and New Guinea, the Acanthophis antarcticus adder actually hunts and eats other snakes! Its venom has a median dose (LD50) of 0.4 mg/kg. One single bite from the Acanthophis antarcticus injects between 40-100 mg of venom into your system, which is capable of ending you in just six hours! • 8. Viper • Number eight is the viper. Vipers are found almost everywhere throughout the world, but are most common in Asia and the Middle East. They're extremely fast snakes. A viper bite can cause you pain for up to a month! They can also cause you to end two weeks after being bit through septicemia, cardiac failure, or respiratory failure. • 7. Philippine Cobra • Number seven is the Philippine cobra. Its venom makes it drop for drop one of the worst of all cobra species, which they're capable of spitting up to 3 meters far. While their bite only causes minimal tissue damage to your system, its venom can lead to respiratory paralysis and neurotoxicity within just 30 minutes! • 6. Tiger Snake • At number six we have the tiger snake. Australia's tiger snake delivers an extremely potent neurotoxin that can end you within 30 minutes. Its strike is extremely accurate and has a non survival rate of about 60-70%. The tiger snake's bite causes you to pass by delivering localized pain, tingling, and numbness followed by a rapid onset of breathing difficulties and finally paralysis. • 5. Black Mamba • Number five is the black mamba. Reaching speeds of up to 20 km/h (12.4 mph), the black mamba is known as the fastest land snake in the world. It's capable of striking up to 12 times in a row, with each bite delivering an average of 100-120 mg of venom in each bite. Black mamba bites that are left untreated have an ending rate of almost 100%! • 4. Taipan • Bringing up number four is the taipan. Native to Australia, the taipan's venom is potent enough to make 12,000 guinea pigs pass. Its venom is neurotoxic and causes blockage in your arteries or veins. It can end you within an hour and before the invention of antivenom, there were no known survivors of a taipan bite. • 3. Blue Krait • Number three is the blue krait. Blue kraits are found throughout Southeast Asia and deliver a neurotoxin 16 times more powerful than that of a cobra. Its venom causes muscle paralysis within 6-12 hours of being bit. But even if you do get treated for a blue krait's bite and manage to survive, you can still suffer from permanent coma or even brain damage due to hypoxia. • 2. Eastern Brown Snake • At number two, we have the eastern brown snake. Found along the major population centers of Australia, the Eastern Brown Snake is known to chase its aggressors and strike them repeatedly. Just 1/14,000 of an ounce of the eastern brown snake's venom is sufficient enough to make adult human pass, through the use of both neurotoxins and blood coagulants. • 1. Inland Taipan • And at number one is the inland taipan. Located in Australia where the Queensland and South Australia borders converge, the inland taipan is infamous for subduing its preys with a series of rapid, accurate strikes, delivering up to eight venomous bites in a single attack. With a median dose of 0.03 mg/kg, its venom is powerful enough to do damage to 100 humans.
