Hello Friends, I am going to tell about some dangerous snakes of the world which are more venomour. Some found in the forest of Sauth Africa and some
found in the forest of Australia. We have collect these for you so please take a look. Thank You
Belcher's sea snake is also known as the Hydrophis belcheri or fainted-banded sea snake. It is a venomous species of elapid sea snake. this snake is of moderate size, ranging from 0.5 to 1 meter in adult length.
Its mouth is very small but but suitable for aquatic life.
Like other snakes, It has a paddle like tail which makes it an exepert swimmer, and it go rarely on land, It eats fishes , breaths air and has valve over its nostrils that close underwater.
It can hold its breath as long as 7 to 8 hours while hunting and sleeping. It usally bites fishermen handelling nets.
It also found in Indian ocean, Gulf of Thailand, Australia .
Its not a name of any snake but it is the group of venomous snakes of the genera Crotalus. Rattlesankes are found in almost every type of habitat capable of supporting terrestrial
ectothermic vertebrates. Most species live near open, rocky areas. Rocks offer them covers from predators, plentiful prey and open basking areas.Rattlesnake skin has a set of
overlapping scales which covers the entire body, providing protection from a variety of threats. An estimated 7000 to 8000 people are bitten by rattlesnake in the US each year with about 5 deaths.
The common death adder (Acanthophis antarcticus) is a species of death adder native to Australia. It is one of the most venomous land snakes in Australia and globally. While it remains widespread (unlike related species),
it is facing increased threat from the ongoing Australian cane toad invasion.The common death adder has a broad flattened, triangular head and a thick body with bands of red, brown and black with a grey, cream or pink belly.
It can reach a maximum body length of 70–100 centimetres (2.3–3.3 ft). Death adders possess the longest fangs of any Australian snake. Unlike the common or European adder (Vipera berus), the common death adder is a member
of the Elapidae family, rather than the Viperidae family of snakes, which are not found in Australia.
The inland taipan (Oxyuranus microlepidotus), also commonly known as the western taipan, the small-scaled snake, or the fierce snake, is an extremely venomous snake of the taipan (Oxyuranus) genus, and is endemic to
semi-arid regions of central east Australia. Aboriginal Australians living in those regions named the snake Dandarabilla.It was first described by Frederick McCoy in 1879 and then by William John Macleay in 1882, but for the next 90
years, it was a mystery species to the scientific community. No more specimens were found, and virtually nothing was added to the knowledge of this species until its rediscovery in 1972.
The inland taipan is considered the most venomous snake in the world; based on the median lethal dose value in mice, its venom, drop for drop, is by far the most toxic of any snake – much more so than even sea snakes– and it
has the most toxic venom of any reptile when tested on human heart cell culture. Unlike most snakes, the inland taipan is a specialist mammal hunter because its venom is specially efficient to kill warm-blooded species.
It is estimated that one bite possesses enough lethality to kill at least 100 full grown men, and, depending on the nature of the bite, it has the potential to kill someone in as little as 30 to 45 minutes if left untreated.
It is an extremely fast and agile snake that can strike instantly with extreme accuracy, often striking multiple times in the same attack,and it envenoms in almost every case.
The eastern brown snake (Pseudonaja textilis), often referred to as the common brown snake, is a species of venomous elapid snake of the genus Pseudonaja. This snake is considered the world's second most venomous land snake
based on its LD50 value (SC) in mice. It is native to Australia, Papua New Guinea, and Indonesia.
Adult eastern brown snakes are highly variable in colour. Whilst usually a uniform shade of brown, they can have various patterns including speckles and bands, and range from a very pale fawn colour through to black,
including orange, silver, yellow and grey. Juveniles can be banded and have a black head, with a lighter band behind, a black nape, and numerous red-brown spots on the belly.
This species has an average total length (including tail) of 1.1–1.8 m (3.6–5.9 ft). The maximum recorded size for the species is 2.4 m (7.9 ft), although any specimen of greater than 2 m (6.6 ft) in total length would be considered
exceptionally large. Large eastern brown snakes are often confused with "king brown" snakes (Pseudechis australis), whose habitat they share in many areas.They have 17 rows of dorsal scales at midbody, a divided anal scale, and 45–75 divided subcaudal scales.
Bungarus candidus, commonly known as the Malayan krait or blue krait, is a species of krait, a venomous elapid snake.The Malayan krait may attain a total length of 108 cm (about 3.5 ft), with a tail 16 cm (6.3 in) long.
Dorsally, it has a pattern of 27-34 dark-brown, black, or bluish-black crossbands on the body and tail, which are narrowed and rounded on the sides. The first crossband is continuous with the dark color of the head. The dark crossbands are separated by
broad, yellowish-white interspaces, which may be spotted with black. Ventrally, it is uniformly white.
The smooth dorsal scales are arranged in 15 rows, with the vertebral row much enlarged. The ventrals number 195-237; the anal plate is entire; and the single (undivided) subcaudals are 37-56 in number.It is found in southeast Asia from Indochina south
to Java and Bali in Indonesia.
The black mamba (Dendroaspis polylepis) is a large and extremely venomous snake endemic to parts of sub-Saharan Africa. Specimens vary in color from grey to dark brown, but not black. Juvenile black mambas tend to be lighter in color than adults
and darken with age. It is the longest species of venomous snake indigenous to the African continent; mature specimens generally exceed 2 meters (6.6 ft) and commonly attain 3 meters (9.8 ft). Specimens of 4.3 to 4.5 meters (14.1 to 14.8 ft) have been reported.
Although most mamba species are tree-dwelling snakes, the black mamba is not generally arboreal, preferring lairs in terrestrial habitats in a range of terrains. These include savannah, woodlands, rocky slopes and in some regions dense forest. It is diurnal
and chiefly an ambush predator, known to prey on hyrax, bushbabies and other small mammals as well as birds. It is also a pursuit predator; in this it resembles some other long, speedy, highly-venomous species with well-developed vision. Over suitable surfaces
it is possibly the speediest species of snake, capable of at least 11 km/h (6.8 mph) over short distances. Adult mambas have few natural predators.
In a threat display, the mamba usually opens its inky black mouth, spreads its narrow neck-flap and sometimes hisses. It is capable of striking at considerable range and occasionally may deliver a series of bites in rapid succession. Its venom is primarily
composed of potent neurotoxins which may cause fast onset of symptoms. Despite its reputation for being formidable and highly aggressive, like most snakes, it usually attempts to flee from humans unless threatened or cornered. Not being proximal to humans,
bites from the black mamba are not frequent.The black mamba is the species Dendroaspis polylepis in the genus Dendroaspis of the family Elapidae. The first formal description was by Albert Günther in 1864. Although it had been known previously to
missionaries and residents by the name "mamba". Which was already established in the vernacular, presumably borrowed from the Zulu language. In 1873, Wilhelm Peters described two subspecies: the nominotypical D.polylepis polylepis and also D.polylepis
antinorii. However, these are no longer held to be distinct. In 1896, Boulenger combined the species (Dendroaspis polylepis) as a whole with the eastern green mamba (Dendroaspis angusticeps), a lumping diagnosis that remained in force until 1946,
when FitzSimons split them into separate species again.
Tiger snakes are a type of venomous snake found in southern regions of Australia, including its coastal islands and Tasmania. These snakes are highly variable in their colour, often banded like those on a tiger, and forms in their regional occurrences.
All populations are in the genus Notechis, and their diverse characters have been described in further subdivisions of this group; they are sometimes described as distinct species and/or subspecies. The total length can be up to 2.9 m (10 ft).The patterning is
darker bands, strongly contrasting or indistinct, which are pale to very dark in colour. Colouration is composed of olive, yellow, orange-brown, or jet-black, and the underside of the snake is light yellow or orange. The tiger snake uses venom to dispatch its prey,
and may bite an aggressor; they are potentially fatal to humans. Tolerant of low temperatures, the snake may be active on warmer nights. When threatened, they flatten their bodies and raise their heads above the ground in a classic prestrike stance.Tiger snakes
give birth to 20 to 30 live young; an exceptional record was made of 64 from an eastern female.They usually mate in spring when it is in the warmer seasons and will give birth to live young in summer.The widely dispersed populations (sometimes referred as polymorphs)
show some conformity in their descriptions, but these characters may be shared by separate or adjacent groups. Tiger snakes are also identified by the region or island in which the forms occur, which is prefixed to a common name.
The Philippine cobra (Naja philippinensis) also called northern Philippine cobra, is a stocky, highly venomous species of spitting cobra native to the northern regions of the Philippines. The Philippine cobra is called ulupong in Tagalog
carasaen in Ilocano and agawason in Cebuano-Bisaya.Naja philippinensis was described by American herpetologist Edward Harrison Taylor in 1922. The generic name naja is a Latinisation of the Sanskrit word nāgá (नाग) meaning "cobra". The specific epithet
philippinensis is Latin and literally means "from the Philippine Islands".The Philippine cobra is a stocky snake of medium length with long cervical ribs capable of expanding, so when threatened, a hood can be formed. The average length of this
species is 1.0 metre (3.3 ft). The species can grow to lengths of 1.6 metres (5.2 ft) However, subpopulations of the species, particularly specimens from Mindoro Island, are said to attain lengths of 2 metres (6.6 ft), but these are unconfirmed claims.
If true, however, 2 m would be very rare and would be considered the absolute maximum for this species.The head is elliptical, depressed, slightly distinct from neck with a short, rounded snout and large nostrils. The eyes are moderate in size with dark
brown and round pupils, typical of other cobra species and similar to other elapids in general. It has a fairly stocky build for an elapid, and adult snakes are uniformly light to medium brown, while the juveniles tend to be a darker brown in color.
They have 23-27 scale rows around the neck and 21 just above the middle part of the body; 182-193 ventrals, 36-49 subcaudals, and basal pairs are sometimes undivided.
Echis (сommon names: saw-scaled vipers, carpet vipers) is a genus of venomous vipers found in the dry regions of Africa, the Middle East, Pakistan, India, and Sri Lanka. They have a characteristic threat display, rubbing sections of their
body together to produce a "sizzling" warning sound. The name Echis is the Latin transliteration of the Greek word for "viper" . Their common name is "saw-scaled vipers" and they include some of the species responsible for causing the most snakebite
cases and deaths in the world. Eight species are currently recognized.Saw-scaled vipers are relatively small snakes, the largest species (E. leucogaster, E. pyramidum) staying slightly below 90 cm (35 in) in total length (body + tail),
and the smallest (E. hughesi, E. jogeri) being around 30 cm (12 in) in total length.
The head is relatively small and is short, wide, pear-shaped and distinct from the neck. The snout is short and rounded, while the eyes are relatively large and the body is moderately slender and cylindrical. The dorsal scales are mostly keeled.
However, the scales on the lower flanks stick out at a distinct 45° angle and have a central ridge, or keel, that is serrated (hence the common name). The tail is short and the subcaudals are single.
A saw scaled viper of the genus Echis may be responsible for biblical claims of a fiery flying serpent.Species of this genus are found in Pakistan, India (in rocky regions of Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and Punjab) and Sri Lanka,
parts of the Middle East, and Africa north of the equator.
