most dangerous and the most venomous snake - not the same thing.In fact, the snake can kill not only poison.There is also boas.They also sometimes kill people, especially the sin that pythons.However, all the researchers say snakes as pythons and anacondas can attack man only in self-defense or confusing it with an animal.When a large group of people anaconda always prefers to hide or plaintively hisses, making weak movements that simulate an attack.But not attack ever!True, this is not saying much.Met this snake in the jungle alone already owes nothing to tell.
Python kills people more often, but also only in exceptional cases.Obviously, the high frequency of attacks pythons person associated with the prevalence of this snake in the wild.The media bring us truly dramatic events.For example, one American student, who was attacked by a python managed to stay alive and even killed "aggressor" knife.But in Venezuela, the victory was on the side of the reptiles: there python strangled zookeepers.
and pythons, and anacondas - the snakes are large enough, and note them in the rainforest can be quite easy.Given that they themselves prefer mainly from person to not contact, a special hazard for humans are not reptiles.Obviously, the holder of the title "the most dangerous snake" to be found among the poisonous reptiles.Here the choice is more than great.
conventional wisdom unmotivated attack of poisonous snakes per person is not true.Even the most dangerous snake with a potent poison attacking, defending, or just "a misunderstanding."The second case - when a person is due to protective coloration could not see the snake among the vegetation and stepped on it.
According to most researchers, a clear answer to the question, what is the most dangerous snake among poisonous reptiles do not exist.Of course, it is possible to determine the toxicity of the venom (for this special test developed by the LD-50), but the fact that all snakes bite when it is injected different amount.Thus, even less potent toxin may exert a negative effect, if the dose is sufficiently high.In addition, the snakes have different habits: some leave after the first bite victim, giving her a chance to escape, the other a second bite (a kind of "control bite").And at different times of the year, the same snake venom can produce varying degrees of toxicity and to provide it with a sting in different amounts.That is, even if you are attacked by the king cobra, there is a chance for salvation.
by the aggregate performance specialists identify a fairly small circle of snakes, a meeting which is very dangerous for humans.This king cobra, arlekinovy snake, the rattlesnake, the African Boomslang, Malay krayt, Taipan (one "portion of" poison under normal conditions is killing a hundred people), tiger snake (up to four people).The last two snakes are found in the desert areas of Australia.
Apart from their land counterparts are sea snakes.They mainly hunt the marine animals that are less susceptible to the poison due to the peculiarities of metabolism.Therefore, sea snakes in the middle ground is much more poisonous.They can dive to a depth of one hundred meters and stay under water for up to five hours.
Snakes previously often became totemic animals.And today the widespread fashion for tattoos with the image of a snake.Photos of the deadly reptiles and decorate an exhibition of photographs animalists and screen documentaries about animals.And they symbolize strength and fearlessness.
