Our cute animals and smaller brothers are snakes... They are also beautiful, smart, good, if they do not touch a person. There are a huge number of poisonous snakes in nature, which it is better not to meet on your way. They can bite, sting and even kill. Today we will look at the top 10 most dangerous snakes in the world, from which you need to run while you can.
10. Reticulated Brown Snake
This beauty is capable of killing several people at once - the snake has toxic poison, and the species of this animal ranks third in the degree of toxicity of the poison. These adders can watch their prey for a long time, frightening them with their presence. But if she doesn't like you, she will attack first without asking permission.
9. Black Mamba
Without declaring war, the black mamba attacks at any time of the day. The name speaks for itself - it lives in Africa. This is probably why she was called that, or maybe, on the contrary, the color was obtained for camouflage and similarity with “our own”. The mouth and teeth are also black, but have two white dots - holes for poison. The length of snakes reaches 3 meters.
8. Rattlesnake
Pit snakes have strong and fast-acting venom. Rattlers or rattlers are the names of this type of snake. The animal will never attack first, but when it senses danger, it begins to rattle its tail, hence the name. You can simply walk by, and if the snake perceives you as a threat, be prepared to flee. The rattlesnake will not stand on ceremony and hesitate.
7. Common viper
This type of snake can be found in almost all countries of the world - Europe, USA, Asia, etc. Full-fledged especially, who are already ready for reproductive actions, they give birth to offspring. The length of the snake reaches 70 cm, but usually its “height” does not exceed 67 cm. An adult snake has a toxic and poisonous bite that does not kill a person, but leaves a cripple for life. But we don’t think it’s necessary to tempt fate and check.
6. Efa
The Efa snake is a common sight in hot countries and jungles. But if you disturb her, you can become a big prey. She will not eat a person, but she will bite so much that there will be several hours left to save her. In the best case, the person will be cured, in the worst, his health will be undermined, and then he will say goodbye to life. Painful bites and a poisonous sting do their job. Efa's length does not exceed one meter, but this does not stop her from attacking people.
5. King Cobra
It is the largest snake species of its kind. One individual, even if not an adult, can kill several people. Scientists conducted experiments, but not without casualties. One portion of the venom that the snake secretes is enough to kill in an instant 23 people and one adult old elephant, whose weight exceeds a ton. It would seem that the man is much smaller, and the elephant is simply huge in comparison. However, the snake's venom kills an elephant faster than one adult man, for example.
4. Tape edge
The snake belongs to the slate species. This snake is found only in China and India, and then only in the south. Tropical terrain is the ideal habitat for an adder of this size. The ribbon snake loves water, and never leaves it just like that. Moreover, she does not sleep at night, but hunts to feed herself and her family. Small snakes are not poisonous, but if you harm them, be prepared to meet an adult, as it is always nearby with its offspring.
One snake can kill several dozen people at once, but in India they are not afraid of it. There she was nicknamed the shy snake because her head is always hidden under her tail. Probably, the light prevents her from being in plain sight, and maybe she is really embarrassed by human eyes. Indians walk past her, jump, run - she does not react unless you make fun of her children. Such a caring mother.
3. Philippine cobra
This adult can kill a person from a distance of 3 meters. The reptile cannot do without spitting, because its color is often confused with logs and earth. People unwittingly step on it, but this is how nature intended it - a snake can warn about itself, saving its life. Spitting venom will tell you that the cobra is nearby and should not be trampled under foot. But if it hits, the warning will be useless - a dead person will not understand anything from this life lesson.
2. Tiger snake
This "viper" is much more dangerous than you thought. No, it can only be called a viper because it is poisonous. The tiger snake will never wait for danger to come to it. She can protect herself from animals and people. If a person is visible on the horizon, she will wait for him. No, this is not for fun, this is just how the snake essence is. The reptile will bite your leg or arm so that the poison penetrates faster through the blood. The human body is instantly paralyzed, and the snake wins the fight.
If you think that the emergency hospital will come to your aid, you are mistaken. There is no medicine yet that could remove snake venom from a person. The tiger coloring indicates snake hunting - the reptile is capable of attacking just as it sometimes seems. If you do not leave the scene of the attack in time, the bite and throw will occur again until several individuals appear on your path at once. Then you can only pray.
1. The most cruel snake - Taipan
Here is the winner of our ranking of the most dangerous snakes. This individual is too terrible for humans, regardless of size and age. The snake will always attack first, it destroys brain cells, it kills over 100 people at once in a matter of seconds. Her strength can be envied, and her poison is better not to dream about. One bite allows the snake to get rid of a person or other victim that it did not like in 1.3 seconds.
If you meet such a beauty in Australia, run while you have time. It is better to postpone photographs and videotaping for another time; now you should focus on saving your own life. The length of the snake can reach several meters, and the compression force of the flesh is so high that the bones will not even crack.
Do you think small snakes are not capable of harming humans? Believe me, they can do anything, just don’t check if you value your life
