1. Bumslang (Boomslang)
Bumslang a snake, which is mostly found in South Africa, but, as is well known, it can be found all over the African continent. This is one of the deadliest snakes in the world for several reasons.

In fact, their vision better than most sight snakes. Some argue that these snakes is as good vision as a person.
As most people know, snakes are usually not very good eyesight. However bumslang do not fit this stereotype. Thanks to its perfect vision they can catch birds on the fly.
If bumslang decides to attack a person, then the person will not have any chance to avoid being bitten. They usually do not attack people, but if they feel in danger, it is able to do it. Coloration of many of these green-brown, so they blend perfectly with the environment of forests, where they thrive.
In bumslanga venom contains gemotoksin (Hemotoxin), which when released into the blood can kill a person within hours. Poisoned by this poison people literally bleed to death. The blood will ooze out of all the existing holes in the body. In humans, blood would flow even from the ears, eyes and penis or vagina.
The worst thing is that the only antidote to the whole of South Africa is Johannesburg (Johannesburg). Therefore, if you are in the middle of the thickets during the attack, you can not deliver to the hospital alive. And therefore you are smaller, the sooner death.
If you do not get treatment soon after the bite - you will bitterly regret it, it's not the thing that is worth playing. The average time for which the poison can kill a person, just two hours. However, the longer you drag with the adoption of an antidote, the higher the risk of injury with serious consequences.

Hippos are territorial animals who just want to be left alone and did not enter into their ownership. If you decide to disturb them, you'll pay for it with their lives. What is most interesting - hippos can not swim. But when they are chasing after you, they actually run under water, and can reach speeds of up to 8 miles per hour, which is much more than you think. They are also very hardy and slowly get tired, so to swim away from them you have to have a good cardio training. If they catch you - can say goodbye to life. Do not even doubt it. Hippos are very rarely stop, they should make sure that you are dead, never to return. That's why they're so deadly.

Two-tone bonito is one of the most beautiful snakes in the world. However, it is deadly. What allows her to stand out among the many other poisonous snakes?

Many may ask why this insect is the last place on this list. Just read about it and you'll understand. Sometimes, even see it being incredibly difficult - so it blends well with the environment. Therefore, meeting people with these caterpillars occur suddenly.
People knew about this caterpillar relatively long time, but has only recently been discovered as far as they are poisonous. At this point, in the last twenty years, these caterpillars caused deaths of hundreds of people.
Only in the last few years, there has been about 300 known cases of poisoning poison these caterpillars, and most of the victims were either dead or held quite a lot time in hospitals. When the Brazilian scientists have learned about the creature, they quickly set up an antidote.
Yad this track is disseminated intravascular coagulation, or more simply - you bleed, and you have it does not clot. From the bite of a caterpillar your blood will be "beaten." It is as if you were hit in the face or hands, and you have formed a bruise. Because this happens lood swelling of the body is inter alia. You will feel the pain for a while, and the area of skin that was in contact with the caterpillar becomes too sensitive.

Scientists puzzled by what caused these creatures to change their behavior, because in the past they did not bite people. At this point, only one of Brazil received many reports about the attacks of venomous creatures. Something made these caterpillars to understand their strength and begin to turn into one of the most venomous creatures on the planet.
At this point in the ecosystem of Brazil (the habitat of these caterpillars) conducted several studies. However, scientists have not learned anything new about them, at least, nothing that we did not know before.
