This is the most dangerous snake in the
0:01
world. Welcome back to Wild But True
0:03
with Malcolm Walker. It's from the
0:05
deadliest snake in the world to the king
0:06
of the cobras. We'll be going through
0:08
five dangerous snakes that you never
0:10
want to encounter in the wild. First, we
0:12
have to look at the inland Taipan. The
0:14
inland Taipan is known as the most
0:16
venomous snake in the world. But what
0:18
makes this snake so special? Well, it
0:21
comes down to two things. One is how
0:24
much venom they can inject into you. The
0:26
other is the toxicity of their venom. In
0:28
terms of venom toxicity, the inland
0:31
Taipan comes in at number three on our
0:32
list, but they make up for it by being
0:35
able to inject more venom than any other
0:37
snake. They can inject up to 110 mg of
0:41
venom into you. That may not sound like
0:43
much, but all it takes is around 12 mg
0:46
to take a human life. That means that
0:48
one bite from the inland Taipan could
0:50
take your life if you were untreated
0:52
immediately. But they don't stop there.
0:55
The venom from the inland Taipan
0:57
contains a mixture of toxins that attack
0:58
the nervous system, causing paralysis,
1:01
as well as toxins that cause internal
1:03
bleeding. If you were bitten by the
1:05
inland Taipan, you would only have
1:07
minutes to live unless you get a
1:09
suitable antivenenom. Inland Taipans are
1:11
mainly found in northern Australia. So,
1:13
if you're heading out into the
1:14
Australian outback, keep an eye out for
1:16
these deadly snakes. Next, we have to
1:20
look at the king cobra. The king cobra
1:22
is known for being the longest venomous
1:24
snake in the world. They can grow up to
1:26
an astonishing 18 ft long. But it isn't
1:30
just their size that makes them so
1:32
scary. They also have a very toxic
1:34
venom. Their venom is classed as
1:36
neurotoxic, which means that it attacks
1:38
the victim's nervous system. This makes
1:41
it hard for the victim to breathe,
1:42
leading to death. On top of this, king
1:45
cobras are known to be very aggressive
1:47
snakes. They will often attack anything
1:50
that enters their territory. They do
1:52
this by rearing up on their hind legs
1:54
and then striking. If you were to be
1:56
bitten by a king cobra, you would need
1:58
up to 12 antivenenom injections. If you
2:02
don't receive these injections in time,
2:04
you could pass away within hours. King
2:06
cobras are found throughout Asia,
2:08
including India and China. Moving on,
2:11
let's take a look at the black mamba.
2:13
The black mamba is one of the most
2:14
feared snakes in Africa. They're known
2:17
for being extremely fast and aggressive.
2:19
This makes them very dangerous as
2:21
they're quick to strike if they feel
2:22
threatened. Blackmambas are also deadly.
2:26
Their venom is classed as neurotoxic,
2:28
meaning that it attacks the victim's
2:30
nervous system. This makes it hard for
2:32
the victim to breathe, leading to death.
2:35
Blackmambas are also known for being
2:36
very elusive snakes, making them even
2:39
more dangerous as they're hard to track
2:40
down and treat. If you were bitten by a
2:43
black mamba, you would need up to 12
2:45
antivenenom injections. If you don't
2:47
receive these injections in time, you
2:49
could pass away within hours. Next, we
2:52
have to look at the fertilance. The
2:55
fertilance is a type of viper found in
2:57
Central and South America. Vipers are
2:59
known for being very aggressive snakes,
3:01
and the fertilance is no exception.
3:02
They're known for being very quick to
3:04
strike if they feel threatened. This
3:06
makes them very dangerous as they're
3:08
quick to attack. Fertilances are also
3:11
deadly. Their venom is classed as
3:13
hemattoxic, meaning that it causes heavy
3:15
bleeding. This means that if you were
3:17
bitten by a fertilance, you would bleed
3:19
heavily and could easily pass away.
3:21
Fertilances are also known for being
3:23
very elusive snakes, making them even
3:26
more dangerous as they're hard to track
3:28
down and treat. If you were bitten by a
3:30
fertilance, you would need up to 12
3:32
antivenenom injections. If you don't
3:35
receive these injections in time, you
3:37
could pass away within hours.
3:39
Finally, we have to look at Russell's
3:41
viper. Russell's viper is a type of
3:44
viper found in Asia. Vipers are known
3:47
for being very aggressive snakes, and
3:49
the Russell's viper is no exception.
3:51
They're known for being very quick to
3:52
strike if they feel threatened. This
3:54
makes them very dangerous as they're
3:55
quick to attack. Russell's vipers are
3:58
also deadly. Their venom is classed as
4:00
cytotoxin, meaning that it kills cells.
4:03
This means that if you were bitten by a
4:04
Russell's viper, your cells would start
4:06
to die and you would pass away.
4:08
Russell's vipers are also known for
4:10
being very elusive snakes, making them
4:12
even more dangerous as they're hard to
4:15
track down and treat. Every year,
4:18
Russell's vipers cause thousands of
4:19
deaths in Asia. If you were bitten by a
4:22
Russell's viper, you would need up to 12
4:24
antivenenom injections. If you don't
4:27
receive these injections in time, you
4:29
could pass away within hours. Now, it's
4:32
time to make your voice heard. Comment
