5 most venomous snakes September 21
This is a short video s from Rob Bredl who guides us through the list of 5 most venomous snakes in the world. It also shows the man who got bitten by the deadliest of them all - Inland Taipan - and how he survived the bite. It’s a video worth watching. Yaycs!
1. The Inland Taipan (Oxyuranus microlepidotus ):
Lives in central Australia. Also known as Fierce Snake, Western Taipan or Small-Scaled. One bite can produce 110 mg, enough to kill 100 people. Its venom is quite the same aas the Coastal Taipan but with much more weight in the toxic. For comparison: its venom is almost 900-times more deadly than the one from a Diamondbach Rattlesnake.
2. Common Brown Snake (Pseudonaja textilis):
Lives in the arid parts of Australia. Has the greatest venom output and is the heaviest venomous snake in Australia. Referred to also as Mulga because the use of brown snake antivenom does not work on this snake.
3. The Costal Taipan (Oxyuranus scutellatus):
Lives in the NorthEastern and Extreme North Australia, and New Guinea. This snake is very large and fast. It has the largest fangs and the longest body out of all the venomous snakes in Australia.
4. The Tiger snake (Notechis scutatus):
Lives only in Australia. Also know as the Eastern Tiger Snake.
5. Sea Kraits (Laticauda colubrina):
It lives in Australia. These snakes have a large cylindrical body and are strong swimmers. The Sea Kraits are a reclusive type of snakes. Its venom can kill a person in 5 hours after being bitten.
