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

Monocled Cobra
You might feel like someone is watching you when you’re in the swamps or wetlands. If you’re in Southeast or South Asia, it could be the Monocled Cobra. This is a water-loving cobra that can be found in forests, grasslands, and rice fields. It can be identified by the eye-shaped pattern on its hood. It is responsible for a large number of snakebite deaths in Thailand because its venom can kill you in less than an hour.
