The prize for “The World’s Most Venomous Snake” goes to the Inland Taipan of Australia.
Just a single bite from this snake contains enough venom to kill 100 human adults or an army of 250,000 mice.
Its venom is at least 200 – 400 times more toxic than a common cobra.
The Inland Taiwan’s extremely neurotoxic venom can kill an adult human in as little as 45 minutes.
Fortunately this snake is very shy and there have been no documented human fatalities (all known bites were treated with antivenin).
