“Unveiling Nature’s Most Lethal Predators: Are You Brave Enough to Discover the Earth’s Deadliest Snakes?”
The snake is particularly dangerous because it hunts for rodents on coffee and banana plantations. The snake will lie there camouflaged for hours and then bite workers before they even notice they’re hiding nearby.
An Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake Will Only Attacked When Threatened
It might not be the longest, but the most venomous snake in North America is the Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake. It can be found in Florida, North Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. The venom is injected through what feels like “two hot hypodermic needles.” If you get bit you can expect to experience bleeding, a ton of pain, and possibly death.
Luckily, the Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake isn’t aggressive. It will only attack if it is cornered or feels threatened, so if you see the distinctive grey, black, and tan snake, just walk away.
The Western Diamondback Rattlesnake Is Deadlier Than Its Cousin
The Western counterpart of the Diamondback Rattlesnake is one of the most famous in North America. It’s a common sight in the American Southwest and even found its way onto the logo of Arizona’s MLB team. The Western version is smaller and more tan-colored than the Eastern snake.
The difference in deadliness is that the Western Diamondback has oversized venom glands so it can inject a larger, deadlier dose in a single bite. Luckily, the Western Diamondback is also non-aggressive.
