00:00 Animal poison is a real chemical weapon injected into the victim's body with a sharp fangs,
00:06 stings or even harpoons.
00:11 In any list of the most poisonous animals on the planet and often on the first lines,
00:16 there are certainly snakes.
00:18 The most dangerous snake in the world is 50 times more venomous than a cobra and 10 times
00:24 more poisonous than a rattlesnake.
00:28 These snakes, thanks to the cinema, terrify people.
00:32 The fear of snakes lives in many people.
00:35 In this video, as you already understood, we will talk about the most venomous snakes.
00:41 Some of them are so venomous that just one dose of the venom of these snakes can kill
00:46 an entire company of soldiers.
00:49 If you want to protect yourself from the poison of any snake, then subscribe to the channel
00:54 and express your opinion in the comments.
00:57 1.
00:58 Tiger Snake Of course, there are a lot of poisonous snakes.
01:10 There are several hundred of them.
01:12 So we will talk about the most poisonous ones, from which even the antidote does not always
01:17 save.
01:18 1.
01:19 Tiger Snake This representative of Asps is not the most
01:23 peaceful resident of Australia.
01:26 Such a snake has nothing to do with tigers, and biologists apparently gave it this name
01:31 due to its color.
01:34 Transverse yellow stripes are located on the black body of the tiger snake.
01:39 However, this is where the advantage is in.
01:42 Bitten animals die almost instantly, without even having time to realize that they have
01:47 become prey.
01:50 Since the reptile is distributed throughout the continent, people have to deal with it.
01:57 To tease a tiger snake, you must first notice it, and the reptile is a master of disguise.
02:05 Skin coloration depends entirely on the season and environment, and can be brown, orange,
02:11 gray, green or black.
02:14 Its teeth are found on the upper jaw of the tiger snake, one on each side.
02:21 The venom of this reptile penetrates the victim's nervous system and paralyzes it.
02:27 And when the poison reaches the nerve centers that are responsible for the heartbeat and
02:31 breathing, the victim dies.
02:34 For example, death overtakes small animals within a few seconds after being bitten.
02:40 The venom of this snake is very strong.
02:43 According to the estimates of Australian herpetologists, in the glands of an especially large tiger
02:49 snake, there is enough poison to kill 400 people.
02:53 However, the snakes themselves feed on mice, frogs, birds and eggs.
03:01 There is another dangerous snake, let's look at it.
03:05 Taipan.
03:06 And with this snake too, it is better not to meet.
03:09 Individuals of this species grow up to almost 2 meters.
03:14 Their color changes with the seasons, and ranges from straw to dark brown.
03:20 In winter, these snakes are usually dark.
03:22 In Australia, it is better to walk looking closely at your feet, rather than staring
03:28 at a kangaroo.
03:29 Taipan is very aggressive, it regards the slightest step in its direction as an attempt
03:35 to attack and begins to fiercely defend its freedom.
03:40 The reptile feeds on small mammals and frogs.
03:45 In 2018, specialists from the Australian Reptile Park milked 3.1 grams of poison from one individual
03:53 of this species, which is twice the average dose.
03:58 Scientists have calculated that its poison is so toxic that one bite can kill 250,000
04:04 mice, or 100 adults.
04:07 However, these snakes are very shy and rarely appear on the surface of the earth, but they
04:12 are hostile during mating or skin change.
04:16 In case of danger, the Taipan twists and vibrates with its tail.
04:20 In the Australian state of Queensland, where the largest number of Taipans live, every
04:25 second bitten person dies.
04:28 The next one on the list is the beautiful but deadly Krait.
04:33 It is a very venomous relative of the cobra, quite a dangerous snake which is famous for
04:39 its unfriendly nature.
04:42 Half of all people who have been bitten by such a snake die even with the use of a special
04:48 vaccine.
04:49 The most dangerous poison is in the yellow-headed krait.
04:53 Usually kraits look for dry places with bushes and dead wood from where they attack people.
05:00 The poison of krait is a neurotoxin that causes paralysis.
05:04 The poison is so concentrated that a small dose is enough for a company of soldiers,
05:10 so it will not work to suck it out of the wound.
05:13 Despite this, the Vietnamese and Chinese willingly eat this snake considering its meat a delicacy.
05:20 But this snake itself loves to eat other snakes and loves to eat lizards.
05:27 Krait is not large and adult grows up to about 2 meters.
05:31 It can be distinguished from others without problems.
05:34 Stripes of white and yellow pass along the dark body.
05:40 The next snake is also very beautiful in appearance but also deadly.
05:45 The Boomslang snake.
05:48 African Boomslang lives in trees.
05:51 Its name means "tree snake".
05:53 Outwardly Boomslang resembles grass snake.
05:56 It belongs to the type of false grass snakes, but unlike them, Boomslangs are poisonous.
06:02 The Boomslang's common food is lizards, frogs and other snakes.
06:07 Boomslang also feeds on insect larvae and also eats large caterpillars.
06:12 If a bird sits down next to the Boomslang or even flies by, it attacks it with lightning
06:18 speed.
06:20 Boomslang venom is highly toxic, acting twice as fast as Indian cobra venom and three times
06:26 as fast as viper venom.
06:29 A vaccine against Boomslang bite was developed in South Africa.
06:33 But even if an antidote is introduced, it is rarely possible to save a person, because
06:39 after 2 to 3 minutes paralysis sets in and the heart stops.
06:44 If the vaccine was applied successfully and death did not occur, the bitten person should
06:49 still be urgently taken to the hospital.
06:51 Complete blood replacement surgery may be required.
06:55 Indian Cobra
07:06 In length, this cobra is from 1.5 to 2 meters.
07:11 Only a caster, who has learned the habits of a cobra better than his own, can communicate
07:16 well with this poisonous snake.
07:18 In India they often live near human dwellings.
07:21 Suffice it to recall Kipling's tale of the resourceful mongoose.
07:27 Local residents have learned to coexist with them.
07:30 If the snake is at close range, it is enough to freeze and calmly look at it.
07:36 Cobra will calm down, blow off the hood and crawl about its business.
07:40 If nevertheless trouble happen, then after the bite the victim has 15 minutes to get
07:45 help.
07:48 Indian Cobra venom is mainly neurotoxic.
07:52 The poison toxin blocks muscle contractions, which causes paralysis of the respiratory
07:57 muscles, respiratory arrest and death.
08:01 One gram of dried cobra venom can kill 140 medium-sized dogs.
08:06 The Indian Cobra feeds on reptiles, mice and rats.
08:12 There is another dangerous snake on our list - the Black Mamba.
08:17 A large, venomous, aggressive and fierce mamba snake is a thunderstorm on the continent and
08:24 is one of the most venomous in the world.
08:29 It is also listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the fastest snake.
08:35 The Black Mamba can move at a speed of 20 km/h, which is approximately equal to the
08:40 average running speed of a trained person.
08:44 One bite is usually not enough for her.
08:46 She prefers to finish off the victim and therefore injects several portions of the poison injecting
08:52 from 100 to 400 mg.
08:56 By the way, only 15 mg is enough for an adult to die.
09:01 The poison of a Black Mamba can kill a person in 4 hours if he is bitten on the heel or
09:07 toe.
09:08 A bite in the face can lead to death from paralysis in 20 minutes.
09:14 It is a dangerous African snake named after its black mouth.
09:20 It lives in the rocky savanna and is often found on the ground where there are many termite
09:25 mounds.
09:28 In Africa the Black Mamba has the worst reputation.
09:32 The fact that it is the fastest snake in the world adds to the problem.
09:37 The natives are full of legends about how an angry mamba easily overtook a car or bit
09:43 a running horse, of course with the lethal outcome for the latter.
09:49 But who she is really afraid of is mongooses.
09:53 For this animal, her carcass is the most coveted delicacy.
09:57 However, what kind of snake is not afraid of mongooses?
10:01 As you know, the best defense is an attack.
10:19 Animals also think so, which is why unpleasant stories happen.
10:24 Therefore, attentiveness and caution is the only way to protect yourself from a bite.
10:31 And remember that even the most venomous snakes fear you much more than you fear them.
10:38 Well on that note, we are ending our video.
10:40 Take care and see you soon.
10:43 Bye Bye.
