: : : I am very interested in the names of the 10 most venomous snakes in the world. And if the Black Mamba is not one of those 10 what number is it?
: : : : : : : You are correct about the top ten snakes in Australia, but the mamba is not one of them, they are in the top 20 though.
: : There that should help you out sonny.

: : : : : : : :
Steve Irwin is the source for the list of the ten deadliest which includes only snakes from Australia. Other herpetologists disagree with that list.
"Deadly" can mean many different things; I believe Steve's list reflects strength of venom in mouse studies. On the other hand, the puff adder is responsible
for the most snakebites each year of any species, and Russell's viper is responsible for the most deaths. Arguably Russell's viper, by that test, is the deadliest
snake on earth.

: : : : : : : The ten most venomous snakes are all found in Australia with the FIERCE SNAKE bieng the most deadliest venom-wise. But I think the real issue is what snakes kill the most people and are the most aggresive. From what I've heard the Fierce snake rarely comes into contact with humans so it hasn't killed any to my knowledge. Now, look at the Black Mamba of Africa and the Taipan of Australia and if you consider that both will not back down from a human and will actually go for one and that they both posses great speeds and very dadly venom(Taipan is either three or four on the list of deadly snakes) I think that they are probably two of the deadliest snakes in the world, but that's just my opinion:)

: : : : : At any given moment a black mamba has about enough venom to kill about ten grown men. Black Mambas also strike repeatedly.
