Death Adder

The Death Adder is # 10 on our most deadly list.  This is a wide, narrow-tailed, brown and reddish orange snake that grows up to 1 meter long.   The top part of the body has dark and light gray-brown bands. The head is large and triangular-shaped, and it is wider than the neck, with dents behind the eyes.  Its tail is short and gets very narrow, ending with a very small tip.

This snake can have as many as 20 live babies ( it doesn't lay eggs).  It eats small animals.  The death adder hunts at night.  A 10mg dose of its venom is enough to kill a human, and the death adder can give as much as 180 mg in a single bite! That is enough to kill 18 people!
