most dangerous snake in the world

Posted by jared on September 02, 1999 at 11:34:37:

I am posting to see if anyone can give me the most venomous snake in the world. one that not only has a high ld50 but also a large yield. i always believed it to be a taipan but recently i read that the king brown yields 5 times more venom which would make it more dangerous to get bit by. does anyone know or can give me a short list of animals with large yields and very toxic venom. King cobra maybe (heard they could kill an elephant) or perhaps the bushmaster, maybe aussy elps like a tiger or king brown. i have been pondering this for a few days and would like to know what everyone thinks.
