What is the world's most poisonous snake, and where is it
located?

Answer Posted / sidd

Well, I agree that the Inland Taipan is most poisonous but it is hardly known to have caused human deaths....so what's the use of it's deadly poison???

The King Cobra has a less toxic venom compared drop to drop with that of the taipan but it injects a huge amount with it's bite which is deadly, it is also not reported to have caused too many human deaths coz it is really big and once spotted most people beat a hasty retreat....

I think the most deadly snake is the one which causes most deaths....and that should be the Russell's viper (more than a 1000) and even though it's venom is not as poisonous nor is it's volume that large but because of it's smaller size it is more inconspicious and comes in close proximity of the Humans w/o them noticing....so it has to be the most deadliest snake
