Australia has land based elapids with the most toxic venom in the world but most of them live in remote areas away from humans. And the few species that do often come into contact with humans are a lot more reluctant to bite compared to these 4 viper species highlighted here. For example an eastern brown snake might be found hiding under debris in a person’s yard but it’s extremely unlikely to take up residence inside a person’s home. Russell’s vipers and carpet vipers are reputed to occasionally go as far as being found inside kid’s beds and biting when unaware people provoke them when going to bed

Of the 4 vipers shown in the video, can you tell me which one has the most toxic venom?

@LivingZoology

2 жыл бұрын

From these four, we would say the Russell's viper.

I jog in the forest trails and close from rivers where venomous snakes live. I have had a few encounters and close calls. I want to increase my protection. I always wonder if when running the snake can hear the ground vibrations far away and will start moving away from the path into better camouflage area. And if i happen to step nearby the snake will the running will be too brief for the snake to decide to strike. I know the snake have incredibly fast strikes but the decision to strike is slow seems to take seconds, so when running the snake might first be startled and by the time he gets aggressive i am long gone. It seems this is also the explanation why snake handler can get so close to the snake and the snake fails to strike because his decision to strike is constantly foiled by some hand movement.

@LivingZoology

Жыл бұрын

Most snakes run away when they feel vibrations caused by people walking or running. Some stay camouflaged and hope that nobody will step on them. When you run, it is very unlikely that a snake would manage to bite you.

@@arthurkomarkovsky7453 What are your sources of information? Go check out it properly again. Being bitten by a bushmaster is a serious situation.

The fact that some of these snakes (namely the carpet viper) will strike solely at the air, tells me that everyone who says leave them alone and they're leave you alone..or that snakes only strike if they're provoked is a bunch of crap

No snake strikes solely at air. Snakes in our footage strike only if we come close to them. The fact that we zoom in and we are not visible in the frame does not mean that the snake strikes just for fun 😀
