Belcher’s Sea Snake
This is one snake that you do not want to swim near in the water. Despite its thin body and short length, just over 3 feet at largest, Belcher’s Sea Snake is one of the deadliest creatures on the planet. Belcher’s Sea Snake is so potent that even just a milligram of the snake’s venom could kill thousands of adult human beings. The only reason that this snake doesn’t rank higher on our list is that you have to go into the ocean to be bit by one, and even then the odds are rare that you find one.

Horned Viper
We talked about the Desert Horned Viper above but now we are going to talk about the more generic species, the Horned Viper. You can run into Horned Vipers throughout Africa and the Middle east with the majority of them being rather small. Let it be known that you will definitely know you are about to step on an angry Horned Viper when you hear their scales rubbing together to produce an odd sound. Nobody knows why these snakes have horns on their head.
