If you happened to book a cheap flight and hotel reservation in the land down under (Australia, of course) then buddy, the black tiger snake is one to watch out for. When bitten, you can die within half of an hour although fatalities are far more common in the 6 to 24 hour range – although we’re sure that’s not providing any comfort at this point. Here’s the thing, if you feel tingling, sweating, and numbness after you’ve been bitten, then you need to immediately get to antivenin before it’s too late. Tiger Snakes are actually scared humans so they tend to just slither away but if they’re cornered, they will turn aggressive and strike.

A Tiger Keelback snake is a water snake found in Japan and throughout Eastern Asia, which only grow to about 3 feet in length and are quite shy. Oh, if you mistake shyness for “not dangerous” then you’re very wrong. They have the insane ability of consuming toxic creatures, storing it in their own glands, before they release it at a later time.
