Black-Necked Spitting Cobra

These are deadly predators found in sub-Saharan Africa. The black-necked spitting cobra can grow up to a length of 2.2 meters. From its name, you can already guess what makes it special. The reptile can spit venom at targets from 23 feet away with bullseye accuracy. If it only hits the skin, it is harmless although it has a very good aim. If it hits the sensitive tissues of your eye, its neurotoxic venom might cause permanent blindness and agony.

Gaboon Viper

The Gaboon Viper is a stout and heavy viper. Adult ones can weigh as much as 19 pounds even if it is only 5.5 feet in length. You can find this creature in the savannas and rainforests of sub-Saharan Africa. When it is about to bite, it will bare its 2-inch long fangs that can penetrate deeply and inject venom. While it is not the most aggressive one here, it does bite when it is stepped on or cornered.
