Inland Taipan

The Inland Taipan is officially the deadliest snake on this list in terms of pure venom. The mixture of taipoxin and neurotoxin leads to paralysis, blood hemorrhaging, limited breathing ability, and intense muscle damage. Fortunately this snake is rare due to its relegation to inland Australia, but you still wouldn’t want to stumble across one. The only saving grace from our eventual snake takeover is the fact that the Inland Taipan is both reclusive and shy, opting to flee instead of attack in most cases. However, if one does opt to attack you will likely be dead within 30 to 45 minutes, unless treated almost immediately.

Black Mamba

The Black Mamba has brought death to countless people all over the continent of Africa. Not shockingly, the ferocity of its striking ability and the density of its toxicity makes it crazy dangeorus. They are able to strike up to 12 times in succession and each bite will deliver massive amounts of neurotoxin. Black Mamba’s can pump enough venom into you with a single bite that you would be dead up to 25 times over. Untreated, Black Mamba bites are almost 100 percent deadly — many times occurring in as little time as 15 minutes.
