Encountering one of these dangerous snakes can cost the victim with his life.
1. Domestic Taipan Snake
When the taipan feels threatened, the snake will roll its body into an S-shape, like a compressed spring, before darting out with an extremely quick bite.
The main ingredient in the venom of this snake is the enzyme hyaluronidase. This enzyme increases the rate of poison absorption in the victim’s body. Usually, just one drop of its venom is enough to kill its prey. Even an adult will fall into a coma, leading to death if accidentally exposed to this terrifying venom.
2. King Cobra
The danger of a cobra is not the potency of the venom, but the amount of venom injected into the victim. Accordingly, in each bite, the snake will inject about 7 ml of venom into the victim, not to mention that the snake tends to attack with 3 or 4 consecutive bites.
This causes the victim to quickly go into anaphylactic shock after a few minutes. It is estimated that the amount of poison injected by a snake from a bite can kill an adult human in 15 minutes, or an adult elephant in just a few
3. Black Mamba Snake
Notably, black mamba snakes are born with 2-3 drops of venom in each tooth, so they are extremely dangerous when they are young. As adults, they can hold up to 20 drops of venom inside each fang.
Black Mamba snake venom leads to paralysis and cardiac arrest. Therefore, if left untreated, the bite of this African snake is always fatal.
4. Boomslang Snake
As described by Scientific American , victims of Boomslang snake bites will immediately experience severe bleeding. Blood will ooze from the victim’s eyes, nose, gums… and even in the victim’s urine, saliva and vomit, until they die.
5. Saw Scale Viper Snake
When feeling threatened, these snakes make a “sizzling” sound by rubbing their distinctive, serrated scales.
When bitten by a viper, the victim will experience local swelling and pain, followed by bleeding. Like the Boomslang snake, the Viper’s venom disrupts the ability of blood to clot, so it can cause the victim to bleed to death.
