The Most Poisonous Snake on the Planet

The most poisonous snake on the planet is the brindle Australian snake, which belongs to the family of aspidids. Four hundred people can be killed by poison contained in one individual.

More recently, more accurate research has been done on which is the most venomous snake in the world, and scientists have determined that the Taipan, which previously held the first place in terms of virulence, must give way to the crown of the brindle Australian snake. Taipan belongs to the same family as the tiger snake. If taipan bites a person, then the lethal outcome is inevitable.

There is one story that tells how a Taipan took death from his victim. He was kept in a zoo in Australia. The usual diet included white mice. This continued for a fairly long time, but one day the rodents attacked their devourer and heavily bitten him. Soon after this incident, the Taipan died from the injuries received, and maybe from a psychological shock.

The sea serpent produces a poison that is deadly than a taipan poison a hundred times. And in appearance the sea serpent is rather inconspicuous, it is more likely to be mistaken for an eel, but one should not long consider a poisonous baby in the water.

For most people, the word "snake" is associated with something unpleasant and slippery, causing negative emotions. Similarly, reptiles react to animals, they become frightened and become aggressive.

The most poisonous snake with one bite guarantees death. It is found in the thickets of Tasmania (in Australia), in New Guinea. The color is dark brown or olive with cross strips. Those individuals that are found in Tasmania are painted black.

Tiger snake is not considered one of the largest, but can be up to two meters in length. The snake received its name from the similarity of its coloration to the skin of a tiger: the gold rings on a black body, and the belly yellow.

The most poisonous snake, Australian brindle, has two teeth on the upper jaw on both sides. They have grooves on them. Most snakes that do not pose a danger are empty. The muscle is located around the venous gland. When you bite, the muscle presses against the gland and squeezes the poison onto your teeth. The poison passes along the grooves and reaches the body of the victim.

The most powerful poison among all the venomous snakes is tiger. If the most poisonous snake bites a small animal, it will die in a few seconds. The most terrible thing is that this snake can be found on the territory of all of Australia and the islands of the southern coast. Tiger snakes are very prolific, hence their large population. One female has more than sixty children.

Snakes inhabiting the western part of the continent are distinguished by a small head and a small jaw. They feed mainly on frogs, mice, birds and their eggs. But the closer to the northern part, the more often the dimensions of snakes increase. This is due to the hunt for larger prey.

If the most venomous snake gets in the way, then it does not bode well. However, the natives say that the tiger snake itself is afraid of people and avoids meeting with them. A attacks only for self-defense.

The journalist of the famous publication "Around the World" Alexei Astafyev once met with a tiger snake on the Tasmanian paths. He remembers this meeting as the most terrible event in his life. The journalist wanted to scare off a large spider with a stick, for which he accepted a tiger snake, because she lay quietly in the shadows, hiding from the sun. Fortunately, he recognized the snake in time and pulled his hand back. But even the moment, and it is not known what would have ended this unpleasant encounter, but almost certainly, tragically.

The difficulty is that the snake does not move at all during the main part of the day, lying in one place. Therefore, it is easy to confuse it with a stick or a branch or not notice at all. But if the meeting occurred, then you should try not to disturb the poisonous creature and move away from it to the maximum distance.
