African Puff Adder
Fun fact: this snake is responsible for the majority of snakebite fatalities on the African continent. This snake is even more dangerous than the Black Mamba because of its golden and brown body. It’s abrasive and can blend in well in a dry setting. This snake can use its body to leverage and strike with incredible force and speed when the prey gets too close.

Monocled Cobra
When you’re in the swamps or wetlands, you might feel like someone is watching you. It could be the Monocled Cobra if you’re in Southeast or South Asia. This cobra prefers water and can be found in forests, grasslands, and rice fields. The eye-shaped pattern on its hood helps to identify it. Because its venom can kill you in less than an hour, it is responsible for a large number of snakebite deaths in Thailand.
