| List of Deadliest
Snakes in the world as per their ranking : - 1)
Fierce Snake or Inland Taipan
(Oxyuranus
microlepidotus ), Australia. The most toxic venom of
any snake. Maximum yield recorded (for one bite) is
110mg. That would porbably be enough to kill over 100
people or 250,000 mice. These rare snakes are vitually
unknown in collections outside of Australia. There are many factors that influence the seriousness of a bite. The factors include the individual’s health, size, age, and psychological state. The nature of the bite may also vary, like penetration of one or both fangs, amount of venom injected , location of the bite , and proximity to major blood vessels. The health of the snake and the interval since it last used its venom mechanism is also important. These multiple variables make every bite unique. Depending on circumstances, the bite of a “mildly” venomous snake may be life-threatening and that of a “strongly” venomous snake may not.
