1. Jararaca
=>It is a venomous snake found in heavily populated areas of southeastern Brazil. They make their habitat in densely evergreen forests and deciduous forests.
It causes swelling, systemic bleeding from skin, and in severe cases, death due to shock.
2. Viper
=>They are considered as most venomous reptiles in the world. They generally eat small rodents which they hunt by striking and envenomating with deadly, paralyzing neurotoxins. Their bites can cause their fangs without releasing any venom to deliver a “dry bite” so their venom reserves aren’t depleted.
3. Western green mamba
=>They are a very alert, nervous and extremely agile snake that lives mainly in the coastal tropical rain forest, thicket, and woodland regions of western Africa. Like all the other mambas, the Western Green has a terrible bite. The venom can kill several humans in a short period of time if it goes untreated.
4. Many-Banded Krait
=>The Many-Banded Krait is among the most venomous land snakes in Asia. The species was first described by the scientist Edward Blyth in 1861. Its venom is potent enough to kill two dozen men! The snake tends to be docile, but it can attack and bite from multiple directions swiftly.
5. Forest cobra
=>this species is still very alert, nervous, and is considered a very dangerous snake. When it feels threatened, it will assume the typical cobra warning posture by raising the front of its body off the ground, spreading its hood, and hissing loudly. Bites to humans are less common than other cobras, but a bite from this species is still a life-threatening emergency.
6. Coastal taipan
=>The coastal taipan is often regarded as the most dangerous snake in Australia. They are extremely nervous and alert, and any movement near them is likely to trigger an attack. Like any snake, the taipan prefers to avoid conflict and will quietly slip away if given the chance; however, if surprised or cornered, it will ferociously defend itself; its venom will most likely kill you within a few minutes.
7. Dubois’s Sea Snake
=>This treacherous swimming snake is found from the coasts of western and northern Australia to the islands of New Guinea and New Caledonia. Although the Dubois’s sea snake has one of the deadliest venoms known, its bite delivers less than one-tenth of a milligram, which is usually not enough to kill a human.
8. Eyelash Viper
=>A typical ambush predator, the eyelash viper waits patiently for unsuspecting prey to wander by. Sometimes it selects a specific ambush site and returns to it every year during the spring migration of birds. These snakes learn to improve their strike accuracy over time. There are rumors among villagers in parts of South America that it will wink, flashing its eyelashes at its victim, after delivering a venomous strike.
9. Western Brown Snake
=>The Western Brown Snake, or gwardar, is a species of very fast, highly venomous elapid snake native to Australia. Its color and pattern are rather variable depending largely on its location. The Western Brown’s venom and the fatal damage it causes its victims (including humans) makes it a dangerous snake to encounter in the wild.
10. Indian Cobra
=>Arguably the most popular snake in the world, this highly venomous snake feeds on rodents, lizards, and frogs. As well as biting, the Indian cobra can attack or defend itself from a distance by spitting venom which causes severe pain and damage if it enters its prey’s eyes.
