Question

What is the most deadly snake in the world and why?

Answer 1

Taipan - up to 11 ft. long, in Australia and New Guinea rapid paralysis with severe breathing difficulty mortality nears 100% without antivenom.  

so if you are paraysised then it would be very hard to get anti venom

Answer 2

it depends on what you mean, the toxicity of the venom or the aggresion of the snake. if ur talking about the venom toxicity of the snake then the feirce snake also known as inland tiapan has a venom yeild of 44mg/kg in a single bite, although the black mamba has a higher venom yeild in a single bite the fierce snake is far more toxic.  

althought he fierce snake is only found way in the outback of australia a bite, is more then likly deadly unless you have air transport and antivenom on site.

the black mamba is said to be the most agressive snake on the planet, soent really like its personal space to be occupied, it will chase you away and may bite you once it catches you.

although the firce snake is far more deadly no deaths have been recorded, so im saying black mamba as there has been more deaths.

Answer 3

It depends what you mean by 'most deadly'. The fierce snake or inland taipan of Australia has the most toxic venom, but it rarely comes into contact with people and bites are rare. The snake which kills the most humans each year is the Indian cobra, simply because it often lives in close proximity to people, leading to more bites, and there is no access to anti-venom in rural areas.

Sarah, the king cobra does not 'spray' its venom. Only the spitting cobras can do this. The king cobra is the largest of the venomous snakes, reaching up to 5.5 metres in length, but it is far from the most deadly.

Answer 4

King Cobra it can stand up to fifteen feet tall and spray venom up to 10ft and if it gets in your eyes you could go blind. they have a deadly bite too

Answer 5

The black mamba. The mortality rate from its venom is 100% without antivenom treatment and immediate hospitalization. A king cobras mortality rate is 75%. The black mamba is also fierce and aggressive.
