Answer 3

The Fierce Snake (Oxyuranus microlepidotus) from Australia has, drop for drop, the most poisonous venom of any snake in the world.

The first live specimen was not captured until 1975 and not much is known about its habits. The Fierce snake's venom is extremely toxic and a small animal would die within seconds, its nervous system and heart instantly paralysed. The Fierce Snake's venom is more than fifty times as potent as the Indian Cobra's. The maximum yield recorded for one bite is 110mg. That would be enough to kill over one hundred people or quarter of a million mice.

The Fierce Snake only lives in an isolated area around where the South Australian, New South Wales and Queensland borders meet. It is usually most active in the early half of the morning when it basks. In cooler weather, it is also active in the afternoon; in hot weather it becomes nocturnal.

Answer 10

The fierce snake, or inland taipan, is the world's most venomous snake; its toxin is more than 50 times as potent as an Indian cobra's!

During the day, fierce snakes prowl the dry flood plains of central Australia in search of small mammals, especially native rodents like longhaired rats, house mice and kultarrs. At night they shelter in deep soil cracks.

The eastern brown snake is the second-most venomous snake in the world and, with its contentious nature, perhaps the most deadly.

They are found in a wide variety of habitats in central and eastern Australia, including savanna woodlands, grasslands and arid scrublands. They mainly eat reptiles and small mammals along with the occasional bird or frog.

Unlike fierce snakes, eastern browns can be very aggressive. They are fast moving and quick to retreat but will attack when provoked, rearing up in a distinctive "S" shape and striking repeatedly.

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.

2) Australian Brown Snake (Pseudonaja textilis ), Australia. One 1/14,000 of an ounce of this vemon is enough to kill a person.

3) Malayan Krait (Bungarus candidus ), Southeast Asia and Indonesia. 50% of the bites from this snake are fatal even with the use of antivenin treatment.

4) Taipan (Oxyuranus scutellatus ), Australia. The venom delivered in a single Taipan bite is enough to kill up to 12,000 guinea pigs.

5) Tiger Snake (Notechis scutatus ), Australia.

6) Beaked Sea Snake (Enhydrina schistosa ), South Asian waters Arabian Sea to Coral Sea..

7) Saw Scaled Viper (Echis carinatus ), Middle East Asia.

8) Coral Snake (Micrurus fulvius ), North America.

9) Boomslang (Dispholidus typus ), Africa.

10) Death Adder (Acanthopis antarcticus ), Australia and New Guinea.

11) Black Mamba, both species of Green Mambas, and the Mojave Rattlesnake.



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.

Answer 14

inland taipan more commonly known as the fearse snake. despite the name these snakes are actually quite placid! it usually has a black coffin-shaped head, a yellow underbelly & is usually dark to light brown on top. it has MASSIVE amounts of venom & feeds on rodents. talk about over kill! but seeing as this snake lives in central AU where it is VERY hot & is mainly desert it lives in the mud cracks & cant afford to go to the surface for very long if it doesn't want to sizzle, so when it strikes the rat or whatever its dead before it even knows what happened thus the snake doesn't have to cook.

2 drops of its venom can kill 4 elephants within an hour

GO AU!! WE HAVE THE WORLDS DEADLIEST SNAKES!!
