The most venomous snake: Name:
The inland Taipan snake, formerly known as the inland shield sharp-nosed snake, is known as the fine-scaled Taipan snake.
Morphology: The shape of the inland Taipan snake is smaller than that of the ordinary Taipan snake, and the adult snake is only about 2 meters (9 feet), and the head of the inland Taipan snake is flat, slightly pointed, and the eyes are relatively large. The inland taipan snake has gray to yellowish-brown scales, which are sometimes trimmed with fine black.
The torso is brown or olive-green, the abdomen is yellowish-white, while the head is black or has black markings, and the fangs are millimeters long.
Toxicity: The inland Taipan snake is the most venomous snake on land. The venom of the inland Taipan snake is only the absolute amount (LD50) required to kill half of the tested organisms, but the amount of detoxification is 125mg-400mg, which is 300 times more toxic than the rattlesnake and about 20 times that of the king cobra, which is comparable to the lethality of the hook-nosed sea snake (Enhydrina schistosa), and is enough to rank in the top ten in animal toxinology.
With each bite of its victim, the venom it expels can poison 20 tons of prey in 24 hours, which is equivalent to the weight of 250,000 mice, 100 adults or two African elephants. The venom of the inland Taipan snake can completely kill an adult in as little as 15 seconds.
The toxins of inland Taipan snakes are neurotoxins and cardiotoxins. Its venom molecule evolved from a family of proteins called urinary sodium excretion of peptides, which, in vertebrates, work to relax the muscles around the heart.
The ancestors of the inland taipan snake produced these proteins in snake venom, and over time, this protein has become more and more capable of relaxing muscles. Evolved to this day, as long as they come into contact with the venom of Taipan snakes, the blood pressure in the major arteries of their prey will drop rapidly, blood clots will clot, and the prey will die as a result.
The neurotoxins in the poison of the inland Taipan snake mainly act on the nerve and muscle junctions of the human body, inhibiting and paralyzing nerve endings, and blocking the connection between muscles and nerves. Patients begin with headaches, nausea, and vomiting, followed by abdominal pain, dizziness, and blurred vision, and in severe cases, convulsions, coma, and eventually paralysis of the respiratory system. It can also cause heavy bleeding, severe muscle damage and kidney failure, and it also contains toxins that can destroy muscle tissue and prevent blood clotting.
The inland Taipan snake is not only the most venomous snake, but also injects a large amount of venom when biting the opponent, the venom injected at a time can reach up to several hundred milligrams, and the poison is so strong that it often does not let go after attacking the prey, the prey has died, or the prey has not realized that it has suffered damage, and it is unconscious due to the onset of poison.

The toxins contained in the venom of the silver krait are mainly divided into proteins and polypeptides, mainly neurotoxins. The krait is also considered the most dangerous venomous snake!
Because the snake bite is not itchy, but there is a slight numbness, it is easy to be overlooked. Especially in the sleep, if the person who is asleep is bitten by the krait and injured by Kaiyou, he does not have any consciousness, and when the neurotoxin of the krait snake attacks, he is poisoned and dies in his sleep without warning.
