The appropriately named Death Adder is found in Australia and New Guinea. They actually hunt and kill other snakes, including some on this list, usually via ambush. Death Adders look quite similar to vipers, in that they have triangular shaped heads and short, squat bodies.]]> 2016-02-21 08:06:11 UTC https://padlet.com/abdulrehman1435/9dmxnozpv49z/wish/96258459 abdulrehman1435 https://padlet.com/abdulrehman1435/9dmxnozpv49z/wish/106120330 Desert death adders are members of the Acanthophis genus, highly venomous elapids with short and thick bodies, triangular heads, mobile fangs, and a thin tapering tail. They grow to lengths up to 70 centimeters, with a snout to vent length of 62 cm, and have a flattened appearance.[2] Desert death adders are coloured brick-red, or yellow-reddish, with strong or inconspicuous yellow bands which are camouflaged with their surroundings. The tail tip is used as a lure to attract potential prey and is distinctively darker in colour.]]> 2016-04-16 08:29:14 UTC https://padlet.com/abdulrehman1435/9dmxnozpv49z/wish/106120330 abdulrehman1435 https://padlet.com/abdulrehman1435/9dmxnozpv49z/wish/106120654
Acanthophis is a genus of elapid snakes. Commonly called death adders, they are native to Australia, New Guinea and nearby islands, and are among the most venomous snakes in the world. The name of the genus derives from the AncientGreek acanthos/ἄκανθος "spine" and ophis/ὄφις "snake", referring to the spine on the death adder's tail.

Taipans usually avoid human contact, however, and you are unlikely to ever encounter one]]> 2016-04-16 08:51:44 UTC https://padlet.com/abdulrehman1435/9dmxnozpv49z/wish/106120953 abdulrehman1435 https://padlet.com/abdulrehman1435/9dmxnozpv49z/wish/106121050 This type of snake is among the few which are actually aggressive. It is commonly found in Australia, and may be found in populated areas like cities, not just remote locations. If it perceives someone as a threat, it will actually chase that person out of its territory. If the snake is not confident of its safety, it may decide to bite. If it does so, it may bite many times during a single attack. Less than half contain venom, but those that do can cause paralysis or death. Because of its proximity to population centers and its aggression, you could argue the Eastern Brown Snake is the most dangerous snake in the world.]]> 2016-04-16 08:55:07 UTC https://padlet.com/abdulrehman1435/9dmxnozpv49z/wish/106121050 abdulrehman1435 https://padlet.com/abdulrehman1435/9dmxnozpv49z/wish/176571801 Commonly known as the Elephant Trunk Snake (Acrochordus javanicus), though that name can be used for all members of this family, this species is the best known member of the wart snake family. It is found throughout southeastern Asia, particularly in Indonesia, northern Australia, and New Guinea]]> 2017-06-15 15:56:36 UTC https://padlet.com/abdulrehman1435/9dmxnozpv49z/wish/176571801
