8. Russel’s viper (Vipera russelii)
One of the notorious “Big four” Indian snakes, Russel’s viper is, apart from being responsible for many deaths, also one of the most venomous snakes in the world. It is indigenous to India, and southeastern Asia. It is a rather large snake, with 1.2 meters of average length. Being this large and very poisonous, it also releases a large portion of venom when bites, and often attacks big prey. Russel’s viper is not very patient when being threatened, and often readies for attack by forming S-shaped loops and hissing violently. It is definitely one of the most deadliest snakes in the world.
