A deadly bite
I was talking with some friends of mine at work. We were discussing which snake was the deadliest in the world. As always, Frank knows it all and insisted it was the King Cobra. I know the Cobra is a nasty snake to be sure, but did not think it was the deadliest.
Anyway, I looked it up online and the general consensus seems to be that the Inland Taipan from Australia has the most potent venom. This snake could kill as many as 100 humans with a single bite. Death could be as quick as 45 minutes. Luckily for me, I don’t live in Australia. Even so, I was glad to print out a copy of my research to show Frank!
