No doubt, snakes are deadliest, poisonous, toxic, yet are the most beautiful creation of mother nature. Snakes as always are wonderful species of our eco system. As like other wild creatures, their existence too is indeed important to maintain nature's ecological balance. Snakes never attack humans willingly else they get aggressive only when are disturbed, hurt or mishandled. Its their natural wild instinct of self-defense that force any poisonous snake to strike. In fact as much as we fear snakes they too fear humans and other bigger species. Poisonous Snake bite is always a worst hazardous accident. Lack of proper medical treatment on time can cause a major physical damage to an injured, may even prove fatal. A good knowledge, smartest approach and scientific understanding of poisonous snakes can help us clarify many misconceptions about these wonderful wild species.
Deadliest Snakes Rankings are based on an aggregate study and comparison of individual snake's toxicity (LD50 Tests), its personality, body size, recorded human deaths, max capacity to inject venom (volume), type of venom, symptoms of bite, victims' medical studies, new research information, etc. Following outcome is an outcome of a global survey.
Snake's Record: Inland Taipan is not world's most toxic venomous snake else rightly saying it is terrestrial world's most toxic land snake on earth. Neither it is Beaked Sea Snake (Enhydrina schistosa). Snake which is 100 times more venomous than Taipan, Beaked Sea Snake or any other snake on earth is Hydrophis Belcheri.
Record's Disagreement: Some snake enthusiasts and herpetologists may not agree with above sentence and would either name Beaked Sea Snake (Enhydrina schistosa) or the Inland Taipan (Oxyuranus microlepidotus) as having most toxic venom than Belcheri.
Record's Agreement: But present situation is changing, more recent studies and better results of improving experiments have suggested and compelled majority of scientific world to accept 'Hydrophis Belcheri' as the real contender No.1. Even literary world seems to be in agreement with this as many recent encyclopedias says it's 'Hydrophis Belcheri". Finally majority always wins and recent researches and new data seems to be in favour of Belcheri, so whether you agree or not, Belcher's Sea Snake remains the most venomous snake on planet earth.
