Snakes!
A lot of tales are there about the
many varieties of snakes scattered
throughout the world. This could be
because snakes live a secret hidden
life and people know very little about
them. And another reason could be
their peculiarities

Here are some of the world’s
most poisonous snakes !!

incoagulability and kidney
failure

Common Krait

The Common Krait inhabits
in fields, low scrub jungles

Rattlesnake
Rattlesnakes are a group of
venomous snakes belonging
to the family of pit vipers.
They are named for the rattle
located at the end of their
tails. They consume rats,
mice and small birds.
9
Flying snake

They are found in India and the
African Archipelago. Flying
snakes are technically better
gliders than their more popular
mammalian equivalents, the flying
squirrels. They eat rodents,
lizards and frogs.
10
Desert Death Adder

Often colored in rusts and
yellows to match its sand and
rock surroundings, the desert
death adder of western
Australia lures prey by wiggling
its thin black tail tip. When a
lizard approaches, the snake
strikes, delivering powerful
venom.
11
Tree python

A green tree python is native to
the rain forests of New Guinea
and North Eastern Australia. It
can roll up into an almost
perfect ball and so has earned
the name of ball python.
12
Black Mamba

Named for the color of the inside of
its mouth, the black mamba strikes
repeatedly with venomous fangs.
Widely considered the world’s
deadliest snake, it continues to
take human life in its native
habitats in southern and eastern
Africa.
13
Mozambique Spitting Cobra

The Mozambique spitting cobra
can eject venom up to 8 feet (2.4
meters) away. It spits from any
position, raised or on the ground,
and often goes for the eyes.
Untreated, its venom can cause
blindness.

True, snakes are peculiar
creatures. They have no
legs, no fur, no feather,etc.
and some are venomous.
But, there is no doubt , they
are nature's most beautiful
and mysterious reptiles.
