: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : can you tell me the names of the ten most : : : : : poisonous snakes in the world? : I would guess that what you really want to know is the 10 deadliest snakes in the world. : Since the toxicality of snakes is difficult to compare, as venoms work in different ways. : The most toxic snakes are several species of sea snakes. The bite can kill a 200 pound man in less than 4 minutes. : However, most sea snakes are relatively docile, and do not aggressivly attack anything other : than food, or an enemy. : As far as deadly snakes: : 1) The Black Mamba: Unlike the Green Mamba, this snake is phenomenally aggressive, fearless, and : fiercely territorial. Probably the deadliest snake in existence. Can kill a full grown man in : under 15 minutes. : 2) The Taipan: Also aggressive and territorial. Will chase an intruder until it is caught. Kills in : 15-20 minutes. : 3) The King Cobra: The largest of the venomous snakes. It is aggressive and deadly. : 4) The Boomslang : 5) The Bushmaster : 6) The Australian Brush Viper : 7) The Indian Cobra: a smaller, but nasty version of the King Cobra. : 8) The Palm Viper : 9) The Brazilian Vine Snake : 10) The Rattlesnake: I know that this would seem surprising considering the list shown here, : but because of the vast number of rattlesnake species (over 140 in America alone) creating : anti-venom is very difficult, since it must be conducive to the species. The hemotoxic venom : of a rattlesnake attacks the blood of it's victim, and is slow moving, taking quite a while to : kill a large victim. The neurotoxic venom of the other animals on this list attacks the nervous : system of its victim, and is much quicker. However, this snake is still the leading cause of : death due to snakebite in the Northern Hemisphere.
