Black Mamba

Black Mamba
Yes, some people will say that they thought that the Black Mamba was the most poisonous snake around. I think that it could be well considered it, for several reasons. The Inland Tapian has the most deadly poison, but it is quite nice I guess you could say. Hardly any people die from it's poison because it doesn't live around civilization. The Black Mamba on the other hand, is quite agressive and lives closer to people so it poses more of a threat.

The most poisonous reptile?

The Inland Taipan.

 
This Australian snake is frequently considered the most poisonous snake on earth. One bite from this serpent contains enough potent toxin about 110 milligrams to kill about 100 people. It toxin can cause vomiting and will cease a persons breathing. Fortunately, the Taipan is a very gentle and shy reptile.
Isn't it cute?
