Deep within the heart of the Amazon slither some of the most dangerous and deadliest snakes on the planet.
The Bushmaster is the largest venomous snake that can expand over 3 meters in length! The venom of this snake has potent hemotoxins which can cause severe internal bleeding and tissue damage
This green arboreal viper blends perfectly into the rainforest canopy, waiting patiently for birds and frogs. Its hemotoxic venom causes severe bleeding, pain, and potential kidney failure.
It is a deadly snake that lives in the dense foliage and riverbanks. The creature kills by squeezing its prey and is often seen consuming animals such as monkeys and deer.
Eyelash Viper is called so because of its unique scale-like “eyelashes,”. This small snake’s venom can cause intense pain. Though it’s small in size, the snake is a master ambusher.
The Amazon Tree Boa is noted for its powerful constriction ability. It is not venomous but the snake can give bites that are extremely painful.
Green Anaconda, though nonvenomous, can be deadly as it is among the most lethal constrictors in the Amazon.
Coral Snake is a bright creature often seen in red, yellow, and black shades. The snake is both beautiful and deadly as the venom attacks the nervous system and causes paralysis and respiratory issues
Fer-de-Lance is known as the most dangerous snake in South America and you’ll be shocked to know that this snake is responsible for major deaths in the region through snakebite.
