7 Most Deadliest Snakes In The World

Of course, snakes are not evil, and many of them are quite docile, even friendly. But a number of species can be quite dangerous if you cross them in nature, especially if they feel threatened. Even snakes that are generally friendly can kill you with their venom if you take them by surprise. So if you are interested in knowing which snakes to avoid, there is an article on Insidermonkey on the Most Poisonous Snakes in the World.

Few animals strike as much fear into people as venomous snakes. Although the chances of running into a venomous snake, much less being bitten and dying from the toxin injected into one’s body, are minuscule compared to dying from cancer, heart disease, or an automobile accident, this seemingly unreasonable fear remains very real for many people. The snakes described here live primarily in tropical regions, but some might be living in research centers and zoos near you.

People often create lists based on the toxicity of snake venom but generally do not to take into account other factors like clinical ability to treat, or inability to treat. Many of the world’s most venomous snakes have venom that are very straightforward and ‘easy’ to treat effectively with the proper anti venom. Also, a lot of these snakes are able to live in water and all different types of climates, and Insidermonkey recently ran a list of some of these large bodies of water as well. If you are curious, here is the list of The 15 Largest Bodies of Water in the World.
