When it comes to snakes, humans become afraid, because whether a snake is poisonous or not, if it comes in front of a human being, it automatically starts feeling fear. When it comes to poisonous snakes, the first name that comes to every tongue is cobra. Many people consider King Cobra to be the most poisonous snake in the world, but do you know that such a snake also exists in the world, which in many cases is more poisonous than Cobra. Even the poison of a cobra seems pale in comparison to the poison.

We are talking about the Inland Taipan snake. According to the reports of Live Science and az-animals website, this snake is found most in the floodplain areas of Queensland and South Australia. They can grow up to 8 feet tall. The most dangerous thing related to these snakes is their poison. This snake releases 44-110 mg of poison with a single bite, which is enough to kill more than 200 humans.

This is why snake venom is so poisonous
You will be surprised to know that a person can die within 45 minutes of its bite. Now the question arises that how is the poison of this snake so poisonous? Actually, an enzyme called hyaluronidase is found in the venom of this snake which makes its venom even more poisonous. Only this one enzyme increases the speed of dissolution of toxin in the body, which leads to quick death. Despite being so poisonous, these snakes remain calm and prefer to stay away from humans.
What can happen from a snake bite?
If bitten by this snake, it can cause paralysis to a person instantly, muscle damage, internal bleeding and even kidney failure. If medical support is not provided within a few minutes of the bite, death is certain. During mating, male snakes fight each other for the female. The female snake lays 11 to 20 eggs at a time. After hatching from the egg, the baby taipan can grow up to 18 inches long. Although there are very few creatures that hunt this snake, but King Brown Snake and Monitor Lizard eat the young of this snake.
