Terror and Shock: The World’s Scariest Snakes Ever
People have been arguing over which snake is most venomous for over a decade. But have you ever wondered which snakes are the scariest on earth? Most of these scary snakes have venom that can immediately stun and even kill their prey.
This article is the second part of my previous article entitled Terror and shock: The world’s largest snakes ever.
Anaconda

Anaconda inhabits primarily tropical South America in the Amazon region and Northern Africa. Eunectes murinus, or green anaconda is one of the world’s largest species found in the eastern part of Venezuela, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, and also on the island of Trinidad.

Anaconda earns a title of “King of the snake” for its total weight or its body mass. It’s a slow-moving snake that belongs to a member of the boa constrictor family of snakes. The Anaconda kills its prey by coiling around it with its large and powerful body before squeezing it into suffocation or crushing it to death and causing internal bleeding. Then, anaconda unhinges its jaw before swallowing its prey in whole.

According to the native people dwelling in the South American jungle, giant anacondas are seen to have a length up to 100 feet. It was reported that anacondas when found in the jungles of South America can grow as big as a grown man. Think that, a giant anaconda can swallow a tapir in whole and even it’s big enough to prey on a crocodile or an alligator.
Cobra

Cobra is a reptile found throughout southern Asia, Africa and the Philippines, which is a venomous member of the family Elapidae. When threatened, angry or disturbed, cobra rears up and spreads its hood in its intimidating and threatening look. It can spray its deadly venom accurately even from a distance of about 8 feet. Of all cobras, king cobra (or hamadryad) is identified as the world’s largest venomous snake, which holds the record length of 24 feet.

Another brilliant article, but I must say I am not a fan of snakes. There seem to be so many which are poisonous. Very educational Chan.

Really scary snakes.
On May 7, 2009 at 1:13 am
I felt goose-bumps in my skin while looking through the pages. My house has been visited by lots of them and dangerous or not – I am scared of any slimy snakes that chance to visit us. Not seen one for some time now but the break is something quiet welcome.

Why are retic pythons not included? aren’t they scary? Well, I love your work my friend.
On May 20, 2009 at 3:05 am
brain racking figs
On May 20, 2009 at 8:09 pm
a great article but im afraid that there is no anaconda to reach even close to 100 feet and the longest snake in the world was a reticulated python as you mentioned but soon discovered to be a false measurement in only half its originally claimed length
On June 6, 2009 at 2:36 am
the article is quite impressive and being an african, i hope i never run into that black mamba!
On June 27, 2009 at 2:03 am
Anacondas are also found in Colombia

Great articles, those snakes are huge

Snakes arent as scary, slimy or dangerous as people think if you know how to behave around them and are not bumbling along barefoot in the woods. Most snakes would rather slither away than confront something as big as a person in the wild. Most are not poisonous, though the ones that are tend to be strongly so…but hey- without arms and legs…what else to they have to protect themselves from predictors with? Great photos. Nice information.
On November 30, 2009 at 10:49 pm
Some of them don’t look that scary but others look deadly.
