Venomous on land

Season 1 · Episode 11

Cobra: The magnificent 5 meter King Cobra is the longest of all the venomous snakes. Displayed on the streets of Asia and revered through its range, the King Cobra carries enough venom in a single bite to kill an elephant. Spiders: The venom of the Sydney Funnel web spider is a complex chemical cocktail – designed to take out a variety of victims its venom is fast acting and highly effective – and without anti-venom it can easily kill a human. Unlike the small fanged, more reclusive venomous redback, the funnel web is an aggressive attacker. Scorpion: The sting in the tail of the scorpion is one deserving of respect. Many types of venom are found among these hardy, armored and clawed arachnids. Venom is tailored to the users lifestyle and chosen prey. Around 40 species of scorpion have venom powerful enough to kill a human. Fierce snake: The arid interior of Australia is home to the world most venomous snake – the yellow-brown fierce snake. This coiled beauty is actually far from fierce but should the shy serpent bite, the most toxic of all snake venoms is discharged accompanied by a spreading agent that increases the rate the neurotoxic venom is absorbed. Rattlesnake: The hemotoxic venom of a rattlesnake destroys the tissues of its prey of small birds and mammals. Although they only strike humans when threatened or provoked the tiger rattlesnake has the most toxic venom of all the rattlesnakes and is one of the most toxic snakes in north America.
