Common Death Adder

You’ll find the Common Death Adder in Australia, New Guinea, and a few nearby islands. This snake is one of the most venomous ones in the world. Bites that are left untreated can cause death within 24 to 48 hours. Luckily, there is an antivenom for it. Not to mention, this snake is the fastest-striking snake in the world.

Green Mambas

Firstly, there are three kinds of green mambas in the world – clearly, one wasn’t enough. Green mambas – Western, Eastern, and Jameson, are incredibly venomous, highly aggressive, and very unpredictable. All three species are also lightning-quick, agile, and arboreal. On top of all that, their venom is rapid-acting and the dendrotoxins are much more devastating to the central nervous system, leading to severe neurotoxicity.
