Malayan Snake

Also known as the Blue Krait, this snake can be found throughout Southeast Asia and Indonesia. About half of the bites are fatal even if you receive the proper antivenin! Now that’s just plain wrong. The Malayan has a venom that is 16 times more toxic than the Cobra, which doesn’t give us any warm, cozy feelings whatsoever.

While rattlesnakes come off as extremely dangerous, killing machines that hail from North America, they’re actually severely threatened by habitat destruction, poaching, and extermination campaigns. In addition to the above, it’s important to note that they do hunt birds and snakes with the capability of biting and killing anything in its sites due to the toxicity of their venom. They’re also the leader of snakebite injuries in North America, albeit rattlesnakes rarely bite unless provoked or threatened; if treated immediately their bites are seldom fatal.
