4. The Snake That Strikes Faster Than You Can Blink: Inland Taipan
Deserts, Rocky Areas (Especially in Australia!)
Most snakes will bite once and slither away. The Inland Taipan isn’t like most snakes.
One drop of its venom is enough to kill 100 grown men.
It doesn’t just bite once—it strikes multiple times in a matter of seconds.
If bitten, you have less than 30 minutes before the venom completely shuts down your body.
One hunter in the Australian Outback accidentally stepped too close to an Inland Taipan. The snake struck three times before he even realized what had happened. If he hadn’t been airlifted immediately, he would’ve died before reaching a hospital.
